Initials: Seller _________ Purchaser _________

(b) Notice. Purchaser shall give Seller notice of Defective Interests (“Defective Interest Notice”) not later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date as set forth in Section 7.1 below, or such other date for Closing as may be established by mutual agreement of the Parties. A Defective Interest Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the Defective Interest (ii) the reason Purchaser believes such Purchased Assets to be a Defective Interest, and (iii) the Allocated Value of the Defective Interest. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all Defective Interests of which Seller has not been given such notice.

(c) Seller Response. Upon receipt of a Defective Interest Notice, the Seller shall give written counter-notice (“Defect Counter-Notice”) to Purchaser within three (3) days that it (i) intends to correct the asserted Defective Interest, or (ii) does not intend to correct the Defective Interest, or (iii) disagrees that the asserted Defective Interest exists. If Seller gives a Defect Counter-Notice of intent to correct such asserted Defective Interest, it shall have a period of seven (7) days from receipt of the Defect Interest Notice (the “Cure Period”) to correct such asserted Defective Interest at its own expense, and the Closing Date shall be extended until the third (3^rd) day after the earliest to occur of the following: (A) the Defective Interest is corrected, (B) the Seller notifies Purchaser it cannot correct the Defective Interest, or (C) the expiration of the Cure Period. If Seller gives a Defect Counter-Notice that it disagrees there is a Defective Interest, then the existence or non-existence of a Defective Interest (and if it exists, the amount by which the Purchase Price will be reduced because of the Defective Interest), will be determined by arbitration pursuant to Article XII herein. The failure of Seller to deliver a Defect Counter-Notice shall be deemed to be an admission of the existence of such Defective Interest and a waiver of its right to correct such Defective Interest (and an agreement that the amount by which the Allocated Value of the Defective Interest to which the Defective Interest relates is the amount stated in Purchaser’s Defect Interest Notice pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5.2(b)).

(d) Defective Interests Remedies. Defective Interests shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets to be purchased by Purchaser hereunder, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof by an amount equal to the Allocated Value thereof unless (i) prior to expiration of the Cure Period, the basis for treating such Purchased Assets as Defective Interests has been removed, (ii) Purchaser agree to waive the relevant Defective Interest and purchase the Defective Interest notwithstanding the defect, (iii) Purchaser and Seller agree (or have been deemed to have agreed) to an amount by which the Allocated Value of the Defective Interests has been reduced and the Purchase Price is reduced by such amount in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, or (iv) the existence, and if it exists, the amount by which the Purchase Price will be reduced because of the Defective Interest is being determined by arbitration pursuant to Article XII hereof, in which case the Defective Interest will be conveyed, but the Purchase Price shall be reduced initially by the Allocated Value for the Property (or such other amount as the parties agree to) with such initial reduction to be adjusted at conclusion of the arbitration to the reduction determined thereby (or if such arbitration determines no Defective Interest exists, the initial reduction shall be restored). If the parties disagree as to whether the basis of an asserted Defective Interest has been eliminated, the matter shall be submitted to the arbitrator pursuant to Article XII hereof.

Initials: Seller _________ Purchaser _________

(e) Defective Interests Allocated Values. In determining which portions of the Purchased Assets are Defective Interests, it is the intent of the parties to include, when possible, only that portion of the Purchased Assets affected by the defect. If the Allocated Value of Defective Interests cannot be determined directly from Exhibit “F” because the Defective Interests constitute a property included within, but not totally comprising, the Purchased Assets to which the Allocated Value relates, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt, where feasible, to proportionately reduce the Allocated Value, but failing such agreement, that part of the Purchased Assets to which an Allocated Value has been assigned on Exhibit “F” of which such Defective Interest forms a part shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets to be purchased by Purchaser hereunder and the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof by an amount equal to the Allocated Value thereof.

5.3 Identification of Upward Adjustment. If prior to Closing, Seller notifies Purchaser that there is any inaccuracy in Exhibit “B” whereby Seller owns more than represented thereon, Purchaser and Seller shall endeavor to agree upon an amount by which the Purchase Price shall be increased to reflect such increased value in accordance with Section 2.2 (the “Upward Adjustment”). If Purchaser and Seller fail to agree to the Upward Adjustment, Seller may elect to have that portion of the Purchased Assets subject to such increase in value excluded from the Purchased Assets to be purchased by Purchaser.

5.4 Environmental Matters.

(a) Definitions. As used herein the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

(i) “Environmental Condition” shall mean (a) a condition existing as of the Defect Claim Date with respect to the air, soil, subsurface, surface waters, ground waters and/or sediments that causes any Purchased Asset to not be in compliance with any Environmental Laws or (b) the extent to which the operation of any Purchased Asset has resulted in environmental pollution, contamination, degradation, or damage to property such that remedial or corrective action is presently required under Environmental Laws.

(vii) “Individual Environmental Defect Threshold” means $150,000 (x) per Well, well site, and dedicated tank battery, (y) per Centralized Tank Battery, and site relating to same, where “Centralized Tank Battery” means a tank battery that stores produced fluids from more than one Well, or (z) per salt water disposal or injection facility, and site relating to same.

(viii) “Remediation” or “Remediate” means, with respect to an Environmental Condition, the implementation and completion of any remedial, removal, response, construction, closure, disposal or other corrective actions required or allowed under Environmental Laws to correct or remove such Environmental Condition.

(ix) “Remediation Amount” means, with respect to an Environmental Defect, the lowest cost (net to the Purchased Asset) of the Remediation of such Environmental Defect required or allowed under Environmental Laws that resolves such Environmental Defect and allows for continued ownership and operation of the Purchased Asset as owned and operated as of the Effective Time at the lowest cost (considered as a whole, taking into consideration any material negative impact such response may have on the operations of the relevant Purchased Assets and any potential material additional costs that may likely arise as a result of such response) as compared to any other response that is required or allowed under Environmental Laws. The Remediation Amount may include taking no action, leaving the condition unaddressed, periodic monitoring or the recording of notices in lieu of Remediation, if such responses are allowed under Environmental Laws. The Remediation Amount shall not include remedial or corrective action that (i) would not have been required under Environmental Laws as they exist on the Closing Date or (ii) is designed to achieve standards that are more stringent than those required for similar facilities or that fails to reasonably take advantage of applicable risk reduction or risk assessment principles allowed under applicable Environmental Laws. Further, for purposes of any downward adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 5.4(c) of this Agreement, in no event shall the Remediation Amount exceed the Allocated Value of the Environmental Defect Property or portion thereof alleged to be affected by the Environmental Defect.

Initials: Seller _________ Purchaser _________

(b) Environmental Defects Notice. Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts to notify Seller in writing of any alleged Environmental Defects identified during Purchaser’s review and due diligence of the Purchased Assets that Purchaser may be unwilling to waive as soon as such Environmental Defects are identified. Not later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date as set forth in Section 7.1 below, or such other date for Closing as may be established by mutual agreement of the Parties (the “Environmental Claim Date”), Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to deliver notices to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) setting forth any matters that Purchaser asserts as Environmental Defects (each, an “Environmental Defect Notice”). Each Environmental Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include: (i) a description of the Environmental Condition constituting the alleged Environmental Defect, including, to the extent provided to Purchaser by Purchaser’s consultant(s), the applicable Environmental Law(s) alleged to be violated or otherwise at issue, (ii) each Purchased Asset (or portion thereof) affected by the alleged Environmental Defect (the “Environmental Defect Property”), (iii) the Allocated Value of each Environmental Defect Property, (iv) supporting documents or information reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect, and (v) a reasonable estimate of the Remediation Amount that Purchaser asserts is attributable to such alleged Environmental Defect.

(c) Remedies for Environmental Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of an Environmental Defect and the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, in the event that any Environmental Defect timely and properly asserted by Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.4(b) has an associated Remediation Amount that exceeds the Individual Environmental Defect Threshold, and such Environmental Defect is not waived in writing by Purchaser or Remediated on or before Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to: (i) reduce the Purchase Price by the Remediation Amount for such Environmental Defect; (ii) exclude the Well, well site, and dedicated tank battery, Centralized Tank Battery and associated xxxxx (and site relating to same), or salt water disposal or injection facility (and site relating to same) affected by the Environmental Defect and all of the associated Purchased Assets required for or the result of operation of the foregoing, including the associated Leases and Equipment, in which case the Purchased Assets affected by the alleged Environmental Defect shall be Excluded Assets and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the Purchased Assets affected by the Environmental Defect; or (iii) proceed to Closing without any adjustment of the Purchase Price for the Environmental Defect and resolve any remaining Environmental Disputed Matter post-Closing in accordance with Section 5.4(d) of this Agreement. Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing of its election above no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the Closing. If Seller fails to timely notify Purchaser of its election above, then Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Remediation Amount proposed by Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in clause (i) above. If Seller elects the option set forth in clause (i) above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed responsibility for all costs and expenses attributable to the Remediation of the applicable Environmental Defect (net to the Purchased Assets) and all Liabilities (net to the Purchased Assets), including Environmental Liabilities, with respect thereto, and Purchaser’s obligations with respect to the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute part of the Assumed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained hereinabove, in the event that the Parties agree that the Remediation Amount exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the Allocated Value of the Purchased Asset(s) affected by the Environmental Defect, Purchaser shall have the option to exclude said Purchased Asset from this Agreement in which case the Purchased Asset(s) affected by the Environmental Defect, including the associated Leases and Equipment, shall be Excluded Assets and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of the Purchased Asset(s) affected by the Environmental Defect. No later than forty-eight (48) hours before the Closing, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing of its election to exclude any Purchased Asset for the reason that the Remediation Amount associated with the Environmental Defect alleged to be affecting such Purchased Asset exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the Allocated Value of such Purchased Asset. If Seller disputes that the value of the Remediation Amount exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the Allocated Value of such Purchased Asset alleged to be affected by the Environmental Defect, Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the Closing of Seller’s election of either clause (ii) or (iii) above as the remedy for such Environmental Defect.

(d) Environmental Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree to resolve disputes concerning the existence and scope of an Environmental Defect and/or Remediation Amount (the “Environmental Disputed Matters”) pursuant to this Section 5.4(d). The Parties agree to attempt to initially resolve all disputes through good faith negotiations. If the Parties cannot resolve disputes regarding Environmental Disputed Matters on or before Closing and Seller elects the remedy in Section 5.4(c)(iii), the Closing shall proceed and the Allocated Value of all or that portion of the Purchased Asset alleged to be affected by the Environmental Defect (“Environmental Disputed Amount”) shall be placed in escrow pursuant to Section 7.2. If arbitration to resolve Environmental Disputed Matters pursuant to Article XII is not initiated by Purchaser within fifteen (15) business days after Closing, no downward adjustment shall be made for the Environmental Disputed Amounts in the Final Settlement Statement and Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed responsibility for all costs and expenses attributable to the Remediation of the applicable Environmental Defect (net to the Purchased Assets) and all Liabilities (net to the Purchased Assets), including Environmental Liabilities, with respect thereto, and Purchaser’s obligations with respect to the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute part of the Assumed Obligations. Within five (5) business days after the Arbitrator’s decision as to the existence and scope of an Environmental Defect and/or Remediation Amount, Seller shall elect, at its sole option, the remedy in either subparagraph (i) or (ii) of Section 5.4(d) of this Agreement and notify Purchaser in writing of such election.

(f) NORM, Wastes and Other Substances. Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchased Assets have been used for exploration, development and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes or other substances or materials located in, on or under or associated with the Purchased Assets. Equipment and sites included in the Purchased Assets may contain asbestos, NORM or other Hazardous Substances. NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of xxxxx, materials and equipment as scale, or in other forms. The xxxxx, materials and equipment located on the Purchased Assets or included in the Purchased Assets may contain NORM and other wastes or Hazardous Substances.

Special procedures may be required for the assessment, remediation, removal, transportation or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Hazardous Substances from the Purchased Assets.

(e) Access. From and after August 31, 2018 and up to and including the Closing, but subject to obtaining any required consents of third parties (with respect to which consents Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain), Seller shall afford to Purchaser reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the Purchased Assets and all Records in Seller’s possession. Seller shall also make available to Purchaser, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, Seller’s personnel knowledgeable with respect to the Purchased Assets in order that Purchaser may make such diligence investigation as Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate. However, Purchaser shall not conduct any invasive sampling or testing (“Phase II Activities”) activities without the prior written consent of Seller as to the date and time, location, and scope of the Phase II Activities. All investigations and due diligence conducted by Purchaser shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost, risk and expense; and any conclusions made from any examination done by Purchaser shall result from Purchaser’s own independent review and judgment. Purchaser shall coordinate its access rights and physical inspections of the Purchased Assets with Seller and any third party that serves as an operator to reasonably minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of business by Seller or any third party operator. Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable prior written notice before entering onto any of the Purchased Assets and Seller shall have the right to have its representatives present at any time any Purchaser is present on the Purchased Assets.
