Buyer and Seller agree (a) that the Allocation, as adjusted, shall be used by Buyer and Seller as the basis for reporting Asset values and other items for purposes of all Tax Returns, including IRS Form 8594 and (b) that neither they nor their Affiliates will take positions inconsistent with such Allocation in notices to Governmental Authorities, in audit or other proceedings with respect to Taxes, in notices to preferential purchase right holders or in other documents or notices relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless otherwise required by applicable Law or with the consent of the other Party.

CLOSING

Section 7.01 Time and Place of Closing. The closing of the sale by Seller and the purchase by Buyer of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Mayer Brown LLP located at 700 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, at 10:00 a.m., Houston time on the second Business Day following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted, the waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other place, time and date as may be agreed by Seller and Buyer. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 7.02 Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) At the Closing, the Closing Cash Payment portion of the Purchase Price shall be decreased, pursuant to Section 7.02(d), by Seller’s good faith estimate (as set forth in a statement delivered to Buyer not later than two (2) Business Days prior to Closing) of the amount of cash and cash equivalents that constitute Excluded Assets as of the Closing Date, including the amount of any cash received by Seller as consideration in connection with the ONE Transactions as provided in the ONE Purchase Agreements.

(b) At the Closing, the Credit Bid portion of the Purchase Price shall be decreased, pursuant to Section 7.02(c), by Seller’s good faith estimate (as set forth in a statement delivered to Buyer not later than two (2) Business Days prior to Closing) of the following amounts (without duplication) (together with any reduction to the Closing Cash Payment as set forth in Section 7.02(a) and any reduction to the Credit Bid portion of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 7.02(c), the “Purchase Price Reductions”):

(i) any amounts agreed upon pursuant to Section 2.02 with respect to the Rejected Assets, if any;

(ii) amounts received by Seller from other working interest owners as joint interest billings under the Assigned Contracts that have not been paid to the vendors who performed work giving rise to the joint interest billing as of the Closing Date;

(iii) any Contract Cure Amounts;

(iv) the Assumed Seller Taxes and any interest and penalties attributable to the failure to make timely payments of such amounts prior to Closing and any Production Taxes or Non-Income Taxes, each as allocated pursuant to Section 12.01;

(v) the net amount of any Imbalances as of the Closing Date, if such net amount is negative; and

 

40


(vi) the fair market value of any non-cash consideration received by Seller in connection with the ONE Transactions as provided in the ONE Purchase Agreements.

(c) At the Closing, the Credit Bid portion of the Purchase Price shall be decreased, pursuant to Section 7.02(d), by Buyer’s good faith determination (as set forth in a statement delivered to Seller not later than two (2) Business Days prior to Closing) of the BOEM Amount. As of the date hereof, the BOEM Amount is expected to be approximately $44,255,000.

(d) At Closing, the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be equal to the Purchase Price minus the total amount of the Purchase Price Reductions as determined pursuant to Sections 7.02(a), (b) and (c).

(e) On or before sixty (60) days after the Closing, a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) will be prepared by Seller, setting forth the actual Purchase Price Reductions (other than the BOEM Amount) (“Final Adjustments”). As soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall return a written report containing any proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement and an explanation of any such changes and the reasons therefor (the “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall include only objections based on (A) mathematical errors in the computation of the Final Adjustments or (B) the Final Adjustments not having been calculated in accordance with this Section 7.02. If Buyer fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Final Settlement Statement and the Final Adjustments shall become final and binding at the end of such period. If the Final Adjustments set forth in the Final Settlement Statement are mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, the Final Settlement Statement and the Final Adjustments shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(f) If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the Final Adjustments within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, then either Buyer or Seller may elect to refer their remaining differences to KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”) or, if KPMG shall decline to accept such engagement, a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected jointly by Buyer and Seller. If Buyer and Seller are unable to select independent public accountants within two (2) Business Days of KPMG declining to accept such engagement, either Buyer or Seller may thereafter request that the American Arbitration Association make such selection (as applicable, KPMG, the firm selected by Buyer and Seller or the firm selected by the American Arbitration Association is referred to as the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The Accounting Arbitrator shall use its office located in Houston, Texas to resolve any dispute and shall be required to adopt the proposed amounts for the Final Adjustments submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator by either Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. The Accounting Arbitrator shall have no power whatsoever to reach any other result and shall adopt the amount for the Final Adjustments that in its

 

41


judgment is the closest to being in conformity with the provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Arbitrator, Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of the engagement of the Accounting Arbitrator. If at any time prior to judgment by the Accounting Arbitrator, Buyer and Seller resolve their dispute, then notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 7.01(f), the Accounting Arbitrator’s involvement promptly shall be discontinued and the Final Adjustments shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect such resolution and thereupon shall be final and binding on Buyer and Seller. All of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne by one-half by Buyer and one-half by Seller. The determination and decision of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be final and nonappealable and shall be valid and binding upon Buyer and Seller and their successors and assigns and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer and Seller shall make readily available to the Accounting Arbitrator all relevant books and records relating to the Final Adjustments and all other items reasonably requested by the Accounting Arbitrator in connection therewith. The determination of the Accounting Arbitrator shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Within five (5) calendar days following either (x) an agreement by Buyer and Seller on the Final Adjustments or (y) a determination by the Accounting Arbitrator as to such Final Adjustments, then:

(i) if the Purchase Price minus the total amount of the Purchase Price Reductions included in the Final Adjustments is greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price, then Buyer shall increase the Credit Bid portion of the Adjusted Purchase Price by the amount of such excess; and

(ii) if the Purchase Price minus the total amount of the Purchase Price Reductions included in the Final Adjustments is less than the Adjusted Purchase Price, then Buyer shall decrease the Credit Bid portion of the Adjusted Purchase Price by the amount of such excess and such excess amount shall be deemed to remain (A) outstanding against Seller and any of its assets not purchased hereby and (B) protected by and entitled to the benefit of the terms and provisions of the DIP Order and DIP Credit Agreement.

Section 7.03 Actions of Seller at Closing. At the Closing, Seller shall:

(a) execute and deliver to Buyer an assignment without any warranty whatsoever, express, implied, or statutory, but including rights of subrogation (other than to any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller) in form and substance as is customary for similar transactions (the “Assignment”) covering the Assets, and such other instruments, in form and substance mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, as may be reasonably necessary to convey ownership, title and possession of the Assets to Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, and shall otherwise deliver to Buyer possession of the Assets;

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Allocation. The Non-Income Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including real, personal and intangible property Taxes or ad valorem property Taxes) (“Property Taxes”) for which Seller shall be and remain liable is the amount of Property Taxes (other than the Assumed Seller Taxes) assessed with respect to the ownership or operation of the Assets for (i) any Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date and (ii) any Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending immediately prior to the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. The Production Taxes and Non-Income Taxes (except for Property Taxes) for which Seller shall be and remain liable is the amount of such Taxes (other than the Assumed Seller Taxes) assessed with respect to the ownership or operation of the Assets for (i) any Tax period ending prior to the Closing Date and (ii) any Straddle Period, the Production Taxes or Non-Income Taxes that would be payable with respect to the ownership or operation of the Assets as of the end of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date as if such period were treated as ending as of the end of the day

 

50


prior to the Closing Date. All Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes with respect to the ownership or operation of the Assets arising on or after the Closing Date (including all Straddle Period Taxes not apportioned to Seller) shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer. The portion of Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes to be borne by Seller and not paid by Seller on or prior to Closing shall be satisfied by a downward adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(iv). To the extent the actual amount of any such Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes is not determinable at Closing, the most recent information available will be used to estimate the Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to Section 7.02. Upon determination of the actual amount of estimated Production Taxes and Non-Income Taxes, and once no further payments are required under Section 7.02(g), (x) Seller shall pay to Buyer any additional amount necessary to satisfy its allocated share of Production Taxes and Non-Income Taxes no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for such Taxes or (y) Buyer shall increase the Credit Bid portion of the Purchase Price by any amount necessary to satisfy its allocated share of Production Taxes and Non-Income Taxes, as applicable.

(b) Tax Returns and Cooperation in Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, for 120 days after the Closing Date, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Assets. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon Buyer’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available (at Buyer’s sole expense) on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller shall prepare and file (i) all Tax Returns for Income Taxes for any Tax period of Seller that includes or ends with, respectively, the Closing Date, and (ii) all Tax Returns for Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes of or in respect of the Assets for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that any Tax Returns for Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes for periods on or after the date hereof (other than any such Tax Returns prepared in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller’s normal practice, which shall be made available to Buyer promptly after filing) shall be submitted to Buyer for its review and comments no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date for such Tax Return. Buyer shall prepare and file all Tax Returns for Non-Income Taxes and Production Taxes of or in respect of the Assets for any Tax period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, provided that, any such Tax Return that includes a Straddle Period shall be furnished to Seller for review and comment not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return. Buyer shall consider any comments from Seller in good faith but shall not be obligated to accept such comments.

 

51


(c) Transfer Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for the filing of all Tax Returns and the payment of all state and local transfer, documentary, recording, sales, use, stamp, registration or other similar Taxes (the “Transfer Taxes”) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other transaction document and not eliminated through the application of Section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

(d) Tax Contests. If any claim or demand for Non-Income Taxes or Production Taxes in respect of which Seller may be responsible pursuant to Section 12.01(a) is asserted in writing against Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, Buyer shall notify Seller of such claim or demand within 20 days of receipt thereof, and shall give Seller such information with respect thereto as Seller may reasonably request, provided, however, that later notice shall not relieve the responsibility of Seller under this Article XII unless Seller’s defense to such claim is materially compromised as a result thereof. Seller may discharge, at any time, any payment obligations under Section 12.01(a) by paying to Buyer the amount payable pursuant to Section 12.01(a), calculated on the date of such payment. Seller may, at its own expense, participate in, and upon notice to Buyer, assume the defense of any such claim, suit, action, litigation, or proceeding (including any Tax audit). If Seller assumes such defense, Seller shall have the sole discretion as to the conduct of such defense and Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Seller. No claim may be settled, however, without the written consent of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, if such claim would adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer after the Closing Date in any material way. Whether or not Seller chooses to defend or prosecute any claim, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Seller shall not be responsible under Section 12.01(a) for (a) any Non-Income Taxes or Production Taxes, the payment of which was made by Buyer after the Closing without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (b) any settlements (i) effected by Buyer after the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (ii) resulting from any claim, suit, action, litigation or proceeding with respect to which Seller was not notified pursuant to this Section 12.01(d).

(e) Tax Treatment of Payments. Adjustments made pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 12.02 [Reserved].

Section 12.03 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the documents to be executed pursuant hereto and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof.

Any assignment made by Buyer or Seller as permitted hereby shall not relieve Buyer or Seller, as applicable, from any Liability or obligation hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

HOUSTON DIVISION

 

In re:    §    Chapter 11
   §   
ATP Oil & Gas Corporation,    §    Case No.: 12-36187
   §   

Debtor.

   §    Hon. Marvin Isgur

 

 

ORDER (A) APPROVING THE SALE OF CERTAIN OF THE DEBTOR’S ASSETS

FREE AND CLEAR OF CLAIMS AND LIENS AND (B) APPROVING THE

ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS AND LEASES

Upon the Motion (the Motion”)1 of ATP Oil & Gas Corporation (the Debtor”) pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363 and 365 and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004 and 6006 for an Order (a) approving the sale (the Sale”) of the Debtor’s Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) free and clear of claims and liens (the Purchased Assets”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (collectively with all exhibits thereto, the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June [    ], 2013 and executed by and between the Debtor, as seller (the “Seller”), Credit Suisse AG, exclusively in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent under the DIP Credit Agreement2 (the DIP Agent”) and, upon the joinder contemplated by Section 5.12 of the Purchase Agreement, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company designated by the DIP Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), as purchaser (the DIP Agent in such capacities and such newly formed entity collectively (unless the context expressly implies

 

1  Unless otherwise indicated, terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Motion [Dkt. No. 1252].
2 

The Debtor’s Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of August 29, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the DIP Credit Agreement”), by and among the Debtor, the lenders party thereto (the DIP Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent.


otherwise), the Purchaser)3 and (b) approving the assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases (collectively, the Contracts”); and the Court having entered the Order (A) Approving (i) Bidding Procedures; (ii) Bid Protections; (iii) Auction Procedures; and (iv) Assumption and Assignment Procedures; (B) Approving Notice Procedures for (i) the Solicitation of Bids; and (ii) an Auction; (C) Scheduling Hearings on Approval of a Sale or Sales of Substantially all of the Debtor’s Deepwater Property Assets; and (D) Granting Related Relief on February 14, 2013 [Dkt. No. 1419] (the Bidding Procedures Order”); and the Debtor having determined, after an extensive marketing process, that the Purchaser has submitted the highest and best bid for the Purchased Assets; and upon adequate and sufficient notice of the Motion, the Auction (as defined below), the hearing on the Motion held before the Court on [June 20, 2013] (the Sale Hearing”), and any other related transactions having been given in the manner directed by the Court pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order; and the Court having reviewed and considered (x) the Motion and all relief related thereto, (y) all pleadings filed in response to the relief requested in the Motion, and (z) the statements of counsel and evidence presented at the Sale Hearing in support of the relief requested in the Motion; and it appearing that the Court has jurisdiction to consider and determine this matter in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334; and it further appearing that the legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion and at the Sale Hearing establish just cause for the relief granted herein; and it appearing that the relief requested in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate and creditors and other parties-in-interest; and upon the record of the Sale Hearing and all other pleadings and proceedings in this Chapter 11 case, including the Motion; and after due deliberation thereon and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor;

 

3  For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Sale Order to the Purchaser in the context of the Purchaser’s acquiring the Purchased Assets refer to the Purchaser excluding the DIP Agent. As set forth herein, the DIP Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed title or control with respect to or over any of the Purchased Assets or any liability or obligation in respect of any of the Assumed Obligations.


IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED:

Jurisdiction, Final Order and Statutory Predicates

A. The Court has jurisdiction to consider the Motion and the relief requested therein under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. The Motion is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (N) and (O). Venue is proper in the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

B. The statutory predicates for the relief sought in the Motion are Sections 105(a), 363(b), (f), and (m) and 365(a), (b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006 and 9014.

C. This Sale Order constitutes a final order within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 158(a). Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d), and to any extent necessary under Bankruptcy Rule 9014 and Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7054, the Court expressly finds that there is no just reason for delay in the implementation of this Sale Order, and expressly directs that this Sale Order be effective immediately upon entry.

Notice of Sale, Auction and the Cure Amounts

D. Actual written notice of the Motion, the auction conducted for the Sale of the Deepwater Assets4 on May 7, 2013 (the Auction), the Sale Hearing, the Sale of the Deepwater Assets, and a reasonable opportunity to object or be heard with respect to the Motion and the relief requested therein, has been afforded to all known interested entities, including, but not limited to the following parties: (i) all entities contacted by Jefferies or known by the Debtor to

 

4 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Deepwater Assets, as defined in the Motion, include, without limitation, any of the Debtor’s assets that were not sold with respect to the sale of the Debtor’s shelf properties pursuant to that certain Motion dated January 8, 2013 [Dkt. No. 1169]. See Motion, ¶ 14, n.1.


have expressed an interest in a transaction with respect to the Deepwater Assets during the past nine (9) months, including all Qualified Bidders; (ii) all state and local taxing authorities or recording offices which have a reasonably known interest in the relief requested; (iii) all insurers; (iv) all non-debtor parties to relevant contracts or leases (executory or otherwise); (v) all parties who are known or reasonably believed, after reasonable inquiry, to have asserted any lien, encumbrance, claim, or other interest in the Deepwater Assets; and (vi) all parties set forth in the Debtor’s Master Service List maintained in accordance with this Court’s Order Establishing Notice Procedures [Dkt. No. 132] (collectively, the Notice Parties”) and such information was posted by the Debtor on its KCC website. The Debtor caused notice of the Auction, the Sale Hearing, and the Sale to be published in (a) the Houston Chronicle, (b) the New Orleans Times-Picayune, (c) Platts and (d) Oil & Gas Journal, as provided by the Bidding Procedures Order.

E. In accordance with the provisions of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtor has served notice upon the Contract Counterparties: (i) that the Debtor seeks to assume and assign to the Purchaser the Contracts on the closing date of the Sale under the Purchase Agreement (the Closing Date”); and (ii) of the relevant Cure Amounts (as defined below). The service of such notice was good, sufficient, and appropriate under the circumstances, and no further notice need be given in respect of establishing a Cure Amount for the Contracts. Each of the Contract Counterparties has had an opportunity to object to the Cure Amounts set forth in the notice and to the assumption and assignment to the Purchaser of the applicable Contract.

F. As evidenced by the affidavits of service and affidavits of publication previously filed with this Court, proper, timely, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Auction, the Motion, the Sale Hearing, the Sale, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation, the assumption and assignment of the Contracts to the Purchaser, was provided in accordance with the orders previously entered by this Court, Sections 105(a), 363, and 365 of the


Bankruptcy Code, and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006, 9007, and 9008. The notices described herein were good, sufficient, and appropriate under the circumstances, and no other or further notice of the Auction, the Motion, the Sale Hearing, the Sale, the Closing Date or the assumption and assignment of the Contracts to the Purchaser is or shall be required.

G. The disclosures made by the Debtor concerning the Auction, the Purchase Agreement, the Motion, the Sale Hearing, the Sale, and the assumption and assignment of the Contracts to the Purchaser were good, complete, and adequate.

Good Faith of the Purchaser

H. The Purchase Agreement was negotiated, proposed, and entered into by the Debtor and the Purchaser without collusion, in good faith, and from arms’-length bargaining positions.

I. The Purchaser is not an “insider” or “affiliate” of the Debtor as those terms are defined in Sections 101(31) and 101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Neither the Debtor nor the Purchaser has engaged in any conduct that would cause or permit the Purchase Agreement to be avoided under Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Purchaser has not acted in a collusive manner with any person and the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser for the Purchased Assets was not controlled by any agreement among the bidders.

J. The Purchaser is purchasing the Purchased Assets and assuming and receiving assignment of the Contracts in good faith and is therefore a good faith purchaser within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and under other applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy law. The Purchaser proceeded in good faith in connection with all aspects of the Sale, including, but not limited to: (i) complying in all respects with the Bidding Procedures Order; (ii) agreeing to subject its bid to the competitive bidding procedures set forth in the Bidding Procedures Order; (iii) neither inducing nor causing the Debtor’s Chapter


11 filing; and (iv) disclosing all payments to be made by the Purchaser in connection with the Sale. Accordingly, the Purchaser is entitled to all of the protections afforded under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and under other applicable Bankruptcy and non-Bankruptcy Law.

Highest and Best Offer

K. The Debtor conducted an auction process in accordance with, and has otherwise complied in all respects with, the Bidding Procedures Order. The auction process set forth in the Bidding Procedures Order afforded a full, fair, and reasonable opportunity for any person or entity to make a higher or otherwise better offer to purchase the Purchased Assets. The Auction was duly noticed and conducted in a non-collusive, fair, and good faith manner and a reasonable opportunity has been given to any interested party to make a higher or otherwise better offer for the Purchased Assets.

L. The Purchase Agreement constitutes the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets and will provide a greater recovery for the Debtor’s estate than would be provided by any other available alternative. The Debtor’s determination that the Purchase Agreement constitutes the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets constitutes a valid and sound exercise of the Debtor’s business judgment.

M. The Purchaser is an acquisition vehicle to be formed by or on behalf of the DIP Lenders, which hold valid claims against the Debtor, the estate and property of the estate. The DIP Agent and DIP Lenders5 hold claims (i) in the aggregate principal amount of obligations outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and any other Claim with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement and (ii) in the aggregate principal amount of obligations outstanding under the Prepetition Hedging Obligations (as defined in the Purchase

DIP Lenders shall include, for purposes of this paragraph, MBL (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).


Agreement) that rank pari passu with the DIP Credit Agreement (together, the DIP Claims”) and have the right under the Bankruptcy Code, and were authorized by this Court pursuant to the Bidding Procedures, to credit bid any or all of such DIP Claims, and were a Qualified Bidder with respect thereto, at the Auction. At the Auction, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to pay the Purchase Price, as adjusted as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price will include (i) cash in the amount of $55,000,000 to fund an escrow for the purpose of satisfying legitimate liens on the Purchased Assets that are ranked senior to the DIP Claims (the Senior Liens”); (ii) an additional cash component of $1,826,000 (less any cash the Debtor has on hand on the Closing Date); and (iii) a credit bid of the remainder of the Purchase Price, which credit bid was a valid and proper offer pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order and Bankruptcy Code sections 363(b) and 363(k) (the Credit Bid”).

N. The portion of the DIP Claims in excess of the amounts expressly stated as part of the Credit Bid shall remain outstanding against the Debtor and any of its assets not purchased by the Purchaser, and the DIP Agent and DIP Lenders shall continue to be protected by and entitled to the benefit of the terms and provisions of the DIP Order, the DIP Credit Agreement and other orders entered by the Court. The cash paid by the Purchaser for the purpose of satisfying Senior Liens shall be held in escrow at JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (the Senior Lien Escrow”) and shall be distributed as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date as follows: (i) to the holder of a Senior Lien upon agreement by the Purchaser or upon a final and non-appealable judicial determination as to the amount of the claim secured by such Senior Lien and that such Senior Lien is ranked senior to the DIP Claims; (ii) to the Purchaser, on the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (and any date thereafter) to the extent that the Senior Lien Escrow exceeds the aggregate amount of the then-asserted Senior Liens; and (iii) to the Purchaser to the extent that any amounts remain in the Senior Lien Escrow following the final adjudication or settlement and payment in full of all Senior Liens.


O. The Purchase Agreement represents a fair and reasonable offer to purchase the Purchased Assets under the circumstances of this Chapter 11 case. No other entity or group of entities has offered to purchase the Purchased Assets for greater overall value to the Debtor’s estate than the Purchaser.

P. Approval of the Motion and the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby is in the best interests of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 estate (taken as a whole), its creditors, and other parties in interest.

No Fraudulent Transfer or Merger

Q. The consideration provided by the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (i) is fair and adequate, (ii) is the highest or otherwise best offer for the Purchased Assets, (iii) will provide a greater recovery for the Debtor’s estate than would be provided by any other available alternative, and (iv) constitutes reasonably equivalent value (as those terms are defined in each of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, and Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and fair consideration under the Bankruptcy Code and under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia. No other person, entity, or group of entities has offered to purchase the Purchased Assets for greater overall value to the Debtor’s estate than the Purchaser. The Debtor’s determination that the Purchase Agreement constitutes the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets constitutes a valid and sound exercise of the Debtor’s business judgment. Approval of the Motion and the Purchase Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, creditors, and other parties in interest.

R. The Purchase Agreement was not entered into for the purpose of hindering,


delaying, or defrauding creditors under the Bankruptcy Code or under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia. Neither the Debtor nor the Purchaser is fraudulently entering into the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

S. The Purchaser is not a mere continuation of the Debtor or its estate, and there is no continuity of enterprise between the Purchaser and the Debtor. The Purchaser is not holding itself out to the public as a continuation of the Debtor and is not an “insider” or “affiliate” of the Debtor, as those terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and no common identity of incorporators, directors or stockholders existed between the Purchaser and the Debtor. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser is not purchasing all of the Debtor’s assets in that the Purchaser is not purchasing any of the Excluded Assets. The conveyance of the Purchased Assets does not amount to a consolidation, merger or de facto merger of the Purchaser and the Debtor and/or Debtor’s estate, there is not substantial continuity between the Purchaser and the Debtor, there is no continuity of enterprise between the Debtor and the Purchaser, the Purchaser is not a mere continuation of the Debtor or the Debtor’s estate, and the Purchaser does not constitute a successor to the Debtor or the Debtor’s estate. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed only the Assumed Obligations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except for the Assumed Obligations, the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Purchased Assets shall be free and clear of any “successor liability” claims of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown and whether asserted or unasserted as of the Closing Date. The Purchaser’s operations shall not be deemed a continuation of the Debtor’s business as a result of the acquisition of the Purchased Assets. The Purchaser would not have acquired the Purchased Assets but for the foregoing protections against potential claims based upon “successor liability” theories.


Validity of Transfer

T. The Debtor has, to the extent necessary and applicable, (i) full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement and all other documents contemplated thereby, (ii) all corporate authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) taken all corporate action necessary to authorize and approve the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The Sale has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. No consents or approvals, other than those expressly provided for in the Purchase Agreement, are required for the Debtor to consummate the Sale, execute the Purchase Agreement, or consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

U. The Debtor has (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement) title to the Purchased Assets. The transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser will be, as of the Closing Date, a legal, valid, and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets, which transfer vests or will vest the Purchaser with all right, title, and interest of the Debtor to the Purchased Assets free and clear of (i) all Liens (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) relating to, accruing, or arising any time prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any such Liens (x) that purport to give to any party a right of setoff or recoupment against, or a right or option to effect any forfeiture, modification, profit sharing interest, right of first refusal, purchase, or repurchase right or option, or termination of, the Debtor or the Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Assets, or any similar rights, or (y) in respect of taxes, restrictions, rights of first refusal, charges of interests of any kind or nature, if any, including, without limitation, any restriction of use, voting, transfer, receipt of income, or other exercise of any attributes of ownership) and (ii) all debts arising under, relating to, or in connection with any act of the Debtor or claims (as that term is defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), liabilities, obligations, demands, guaranties, options, rights, contractual commitments, restrictions,


interests, and matters of any kind and nature, whether arising prior to or subsequent to the commencement of this case, and whether imposed by agreement, understanding, law, equity or otherwise relating to, accruing or arising any time prior to the Closing Date (collectively in this clause (ii), the Claims and, together with the Liens, the Claims and Interests”), with the exception of any Assumed Encumbrances and Assumed Obligations, each as defined in the Purchase Agreement (the Assumed Encumbrances and Assumed Obligations”), and any Excess Senior Liens (as defined below).

Section 363(f) is Satisfied

V. The conditions of Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied in full; therefore, the Debtor may sell the Purchased Assets free and clear of any Claims and Interests in the property other than those Senior Liens, if any, securing claims that are not satisfied out of the Senior Lien Escrow (the “Excess Senior Liens”).

W. The Purchaser would not have entered into the Purchase Agreement and would not consummate the transactions contemplated thereby if the Sale of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, and the assumption and assignment of the Contracts to the Purchaser, were not free and clear of all Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (except the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens), or if the Purchaser would, or in the future could, be liable for any of such Claims and Interests.

X. The Debtor may sell the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Claims and Interests against the Debtor, its estate, or any of the Purchased Assets (except the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens) because, in each case, one or more of the standards set forth in Section 363(f)(1)–(5) of the Bankruptcy Code has been satisfied. Those holders of Claims and Interests against the Debtor, its estate, or any of the Purchased Assets, who did not object, or who withdrew their objections to the Sale or the Motion, are deemed to have


consented thereto pursuant to Section 363(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Those holders of such Claims and Interests who did object fall within one or more of the other subsections of Section 363(f) and are adequately protected by (a) with respect to any Senior Liens, having their liens, if any, attach to the proceeds placed in the Senior Lien Escrow and having the Sale subject to any Excess Senior Liens; and (b) with respect to all other Claims and Interests, if any, in each instance against the Debtor, its estate, or any of the Purchased Assets, attach to the remaining cash proceeds of the Sale ultimately attributable to the Purchased Assets in which such creditor alleges an interest in the same order of priority, with the same validity, force, and effect that such creditor had prior to the Sale, subject to any claims and defenses the Debtor or its estate may possess with respect thereto.

ORRI and NPI Disgorgement

Y. On August 24, 2012, the Court entered that certain Order Regarding Debtor’s Emergency Motion for an Order Authorizing (1) Payment of Funds Attributable to Overriding Royalty Interests in the Ordinary Course of Business and (2) Payment of Funds Attributable to Net Profits Interests Subject to Further Order of the Court Requiring Disgorgement Thereof [Dkt. No. 191] (the Conveyance Order”). Pursuant to the Conveyance Order, the Debtor was authorized to pay certain funds attributable to Overriding Royalty Interests and Net Profits Interests to the Overriding Royalty Interest and Net Profits Interests holders (the Subject Interest Holders”), provided that such Subject Interest Holders entered into that certain Agreement to Disgorge Funds Upon Order Of The Bankruptcy Court, in the form of Annex A attached to the Conveyance Order (the Disgorgement Agreement”).

Z. Pursuant to the Disgorgement Agreement, the Subject Interest Holders agreed to deliver in available funds to the Debtor and its estate any amounts that the Subject Interest Holders are required to disgorge within thirty (30) days of the date on which an order is entered


by the Court directing the Subject Interest Holders to disgorge any such amounts (a Disgorgement Order”). The Conveyance Order remains in full force and effect, provided, however, that the Purchaser, shall step into the shoes of the Seller with respect to any of the Seller’s rights in relation to the Disgorgement Agreement and the Conveyance Order that relate to assets being purchased, which rights Purchaser is acquiring as part of the Sale. The Purchaser is not acquiring the rights of any third parties with respect to the Disgorgement Agreement and the Conveyance Order, which shall not be altered by the Sale.

Assumption and Assignment of the Contracts

AA. The assumption and assignment of the Contracts pursuant to the terms of this Sale Order and the Bidding Procedures Order is integral to the Purchase Agreement and is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, creditors, and other parties in interest, and represents the Debtor’s reasonable exercise of sound and prudent business judgment.

BB. The respective amounts set forth on Exhibit 2 annexed hereto are the sole amounts necessary under Sections 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) and 365(f)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code to cure all monetary defaults and pay all actual pecuniary losses under the Contracts (the Cure Amounts”).

CC. The Purchaser has demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance with respect to the Contracts pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Compelling Circumstances for an Immediate Sale

DD. The Debtor has demonstrated through the testimony and/or other evidence proffered at the Sale Hearing and the representations of counsel made on the record of the Sale Hearing good and sufficient reasons for approval of the Purchase Agreement and the Sale. The relief requested in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, its creditors, and other parties-in-interest. The Debtor has demonstrated (i) good, sufficient, and sound business


purposes and justifications for approving the Purchase Agreement and (ii) compelling circumstances for the Sale outside of (a) the ordinary course of business, pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) a Chapter 11 plan, in that, among other things, the immediate consummation of the Sale to the Purchaser is necessary and appropriate to maximize the value of the Debtor’s estate and the Sale will provide the means for the Debtor to maximize distributions to its creditors.

EE. To maximize the value of the Purchased Assets and preserve the viability of the businesses to which they relate, it is essential that the Sale occur within the time constraints set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Time is of the essence in consummating the Sale.

FF. Given all of the circumstances of this Chapter 11 case and the adequacy and fair value of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement, the proposed Sale constitutes a reasonable and sound exercise of the Debtor’s business judgment and should be approved.

GG. The Sale does not constitute a sub rosa Chapter 11 plan for which approval has been sought without the protections that a disclosure statement would afford. The Sale neither impermissibly restructures the rights of the Debtor’s creditors nor impermissibly dictates a liquidating Chapter 11 plan for the Debtor.

HH. The consummation of the Sale and the assumption and assignment of the Contracts is legal, valid, and properly authorized under all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Sections 105(a), 363(b), 363(f), 363(m), 365(b), and 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, and all of the applicable requirements of such Sections have been complied with in respect of the Sale.


NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

General Provisions

1. The findings and conclusions set forth herein constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this Chapter 11 case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent that any of the findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the extent any of the conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.

2. The relief requested in the Motion is granted and approved, and the transactions contemplated thereby and by the Purchase Agreement are approved as set forth in this Sale Order. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Sale Order have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Motion or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

3. This Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the Bidding Procedures Order are incorporated herein by reference.

4. The Credit Bid is hereby approved. The portion of the DIP Claims in excess of the amounts expressly stated as part of the Credit Bid shall remain outstanding against the Debtor and any of its assets not purchased by the Purchaser, and the DIP Agent and DIP Lenders shall continue to be protected by and entitled to the benefit of the terms and provisions of the DIP Order, the DIP Credit Agreement and other orders entered by the Court. In making the Credit Bid and in taking any and all actions in connection therewith, the DIP Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of all of the indemnification, reimbursement, exculpatory and other protections (i) as and to the extent set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) pursuant to direction from the Required Lenders in accordance with the Direction Letter dated April 30, 2013 directing the DIP Agent to credit bid or to take any other action in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or (iii) pursuant to applicable law, this Sale Order or any other order of the Court.


5. The amount of cash placed in the Senior Lien Escrow by the Purchaser at the closing shall be equal to $55,000,000. The Senior Lien Escrow shall be distributed as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date as follows: (i) to the holder of a Senior Lien upon agreement by the Purchaser or upon a final and non-appealable judicial determination as to the amount of the claim secured by such Senior Lien and that such Senior Lien is ranked senior to the DIP Claims; (ii) to the Purchaser, on the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (and any date thereafter) to the extent that the Senior Lien Escrow exceeds the aggregate amount of the then-asserted Senior Liens; and (iii) to the Purchaser to the extent that any amounts remain in the Senior Lien Escrow following the final adjudication or settlement and payment in full of all Senior Liens.

Any holder of an asserted Senior Lien shall assert such lien only against the amounts in the Senior Lien Escrow unless at such time the Senior Lien Escrow is exhausted. The portion of any Senior Lien not satisfied from the Senior Lien Escrow on the date that the Senior Lien Escrow is exhausted shall constitute Excess Senior Liens, and such Excess Senior Liens shall attach to those Purchased Assets to which Such Excess Senior Liens would have attached prior to the Sale. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and any Senior Lien claimant with all reasonably necessary documentation for the purpose of adjudicating any Senior Lien. This Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute as to the amount and priority of any Senior Lien and the Senior Lien Escrow; and any such dispute shall be resolved by adversary proceeding unless Purchaser and the holder of such Senior Lien agree otherwise.

6. All objections to the Motion or the relief requested therein that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled by announcement to the Court during the Sale Hearing or by stipulation filed with the Court, including any and all reservations of rights included in such


objections or otherwise, are hereby denied and overruled on the merits with prejudice. Those parties who did not object or withdrew their objections to the Motion are deemed to have consented pursuant to Section 363(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

8. Pursuant to Sections 363(b) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor is authorized and empowered to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to (i) consummate the Sale pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) close the Sale as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and this Sale Order, and (iii) execute and deliver, perform under, consummate, implement, and fully close the Purchase Agreement, including the transfer of the Purchased Assets and the assumption and assignment of the Contracts to the Purchaser in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, together with all additional ancillary instruments and documents that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the Purchase Agreement and the Sale.

This Sale Order and the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Debtor, its estate and creditors, the Purchaser, and the respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

10. Pursuant to Sections 105(a), 363(b), 363(f), 365(b), and 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor is authorized to transfer the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser on the Closing Date and such transfer shall (a) constitute a legal, valid, binding, and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets, (b) vest the Purchaser with title to the Purchased Assets, and (c) upon the Debtor’s receipt of the Purchase Price (as may be adjusted as of the Closing Date pursuant to sections 7.02(c) and 12.01 of the Purchase Agreement), be free and clear of all Claims and Interests (other than Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens), with such Claims and Interests to attach to the proceeds of the Sale in the order of their priority, with the same validity, force, and effect which they now have as against the Purchased Assets (subject to any claims and defenses the Debtor or its estate may possess with respect thereto). On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall take title to and possession of the Purchased Assets subject only to the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens.

11. The Debtor is hereby authorized to take any and all actions necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including any actions that otherwise would require further approval by the Debtor’s board of directors or board of managers, as the case may be, without the need of obtaining such approvals.

12. The transactions authorized herein shall be of full force and effect, regardless of the Debtor’s lack of good standing in any jurisdiction in which it is formed or authorized to transact business. Upon consummation of the transactions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall be authorized to file termination statements or lien terminations in any required jurisdiction to remove any record, notice filing, or financing statement recorded to attach, perfect, or otherwise notice any lien or encumbrance, with respect to the Purchased Assets, that is extinguished or otherwise released pursuant to this Sale Order under Section 363 and the related provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.


13. Subject to the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Sale Order, all entities are hereby forever prohibited and enjoined from taking any action that would adversely affect or interfere with the ability of the Debtor to sell and transfer the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Agreement and this Sale Order.

17. If any person or entity which has filed statements or other documents evidencing Claims and Interests on, or in, all or any portion of the Purchased Assets (other than statements or documents with respect to Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations, or unresolved Senior Liens) shall not have delivered to the Debtor prior to the Closing Date, in proper form for filing and executed by the appropriate parties, termination statements, instruments of satisfaction, releases of liens and easements, and any other documents necessary for the purpose of documenting the release of all liens or interests which the person or entity has or may assert


with respect to all or any portion of the Purchased Assets, the Debtor is hereby authorized and directed, and the Purchaser is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Debtor and each of its creditors, to execute and file such statements, instruments, releases, and other documents on behalf of such person or entity with respect to the Purchased Assets.

18. On the Closing Date, this Sale Order shall be construed and shall constitute for any and all purposes a full and complete general assignment, conveyance, and transfer of the Debtor’s interests in the Purchased Assets. This Sale Order is and shall be effective as a determination that, on the Closing Date, all Claims and Interests and any other interest of any kind or nature whatsoever existing as to the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date, other than the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens, shall have been unconditionally released, discharged, and terminated, and that the conveyances described herein have been effected; provided, however, that any Senior Liens shall attach to the proceeds placed in the Senior Lien Escrow and any other Claims and Interests shall attach to any remaining proceeds of the Sale in the order of their priority, with the same validity, force, and effect which they now have as against the Purchased Assets.

19. This Sale Order is and shall be binding upon and govern the acts of all persons and entities, including, without limitation, all filing agents, filing officers, title agents, title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of deeds, registrars of deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments, secretaries of state, federal, state and local officials, and all other persons and entities who may be required by operation of law, the duties of their office, or contract, to accept, file, register, or otherwise record or release any documents or instruments, or who may be required to report or insure any title or state of title in or to any lease; and each of the foregoing persons and entities is hereby directed to accept for filing any and all of the documents and instruments necessary and appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.


20. To the greatest extent available under applicable law, the Purchaser shall be authorized, as of the Closing Date, subject to section 4.02(f) of the Purchase Agreement, to operate under any license, permit, registration, and governmental authorization or approval of the Debtor with respect to the Purchased Assets, and all such licenses, permits, registrations, and governmental authorizations and approvals are deemed to have been, and hereby are, deemed to be transferred to the Purchaser as of the Closing Date.

21. In accordance with Section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, no governmental unit may revoke or suspend any permit or license relating to the operation of the Purchased Assets sold, transferred, or conveyed to the Purchaser on account of the filing or pendency of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

22. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible in accordance with applicable Law for all liabilities relating to decommissioning and plugging and abandonment with respect to the Purchased Assets arising by virtue of Purchaser’s ownership of such assets, (b) the Purchased Assets do not include any assets of third parties, including any third party’s right, title or interest in any lessors’ royalties, overriding royalties, net profits interests, carried interests, production payments or reversionary interests and (c) as of the Closing, Purchaser shall have purchased the Purchased Assets subject to any Assumed Encumbrances (to the extent not otherwise discharged pursuant to this Sale Order) and Excess Senior Liens.

23. The DIP Agent has executed the Purchase Agreement at the direction of the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) solely in order to facilitate the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the


Purchase Agreement or any other document or instrument to the contrary, the transfer by the DIP Agent to the Purchaser of the right to receive the Purchased Assets shall be “as is, where is, and with all faults” and without any representations, warranties or recourse whatsoever. In making the Credit Bid for the Purchased Assets, in transferring the right to receive the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, and in taking all other actions in connection with the foregoing (whether pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document executed in connection therewith or otherwise), the DIP Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed in any respect possession, title or control with respect to or over any of the Purchased Assets or any liability or obligation in respect of any of the Assumed Obligations.

ORRI and NPI Disgorgement

24. The Conveyance Order remains in full force and effect, provided, however, that Purchaser shall step into the shoes of Seller with respect to any of the Seller’s rights in relation to the Disgorgement Agreement and the Conveyance Order that relate to assets being purchased, which rights Purchaser is acquiring as part of the Sale. The Purchaser is not acquiring the rights of any third parties with respect to the Disgorgement Agreement and the Conveyance Order, which shall not be altered by the Sale.

Prohibition of Actions Against the Purchaser

25. Except for the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens, or as otherwise expressly provided for in this Sale Order or the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall not have any liability or other obligation of the Debtor arising under or related to any of the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be liable for any Claims and Interests against the Debtor, or any of its predecessors or affiliates, and the Purchaser shall have no successor or vicarious liabilities of any kind or character,


including, but not limited to, under any theory of antitrust, environmental, successor or transferee liability, labor law, de facto merger, mere continuation, continuity of enterprise, or substantial continuity, whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date, now existing or hereafter arising, whether fixed or contingent, whether asserted or unasserted, whether legal or equitable, whether liquidated or unliquidated, including, but not limited to, liabilities on account of warranties, intercompany loans and receivables between the Debtor and any non-debtor subsidiary or affiliate, liabilities relating to or arising from any Environmental Laws (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and any taxes arising, accruing, or payable under, out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the operation of any of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date. The consummation of the Sale does not amount to a consolidation, merger or de facto merger of the Purchaser and the Debtor and/or the Debtor’s estate, there is not substantial continuity between the Purchaser and the Debtor, there is no continuity of enterprise between the Debtor and the Purchaser, the Purchaser is not a mere continuation of the Debtor or the Debtor’s estate, and the Purchaser does not constitute a successor to the Debtor or the Debtor’s estate. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed only the Assumed Obligations. Except for the Assumed Obligations and Assumed Encumbrances, the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Purchased Assets shall be free and clear of any “successor liability” claims of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown and whether asserted or unasserted as of the Closing Date. The Purchaser’s operations shall not be deemed a continuation of the Debtor’s business as a result of the acquisition of the Purchased Assets. The Purchaser is not an agent or a joint venturer of the DIP Agent and the DIP Agent shall have no duties under the Purchase Agreement, except to reduce the amount of the allowed claims of the DIP Lenders and the holder of the Prepetition Hedging Obligations (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) on the Closing Date by the amount of the Credit Bid used as consideration under the Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as contained in sections 7.02 and 12.01 of the Purchase Agreement.


26. Except with respect to Assumed Encumbrances and Assumed Obligations, or as otherwise permitted by the Purchase Agreement or this Sale Order, all persons and entities, including, but not limited to, all debt security holders, equity security holders, governmental, tax and regulatory authorities, lenders, trade creditors, litigation claimants, and other creditors, holding Claims and Interests or other interests of any kind or nature whatsoever against or in all or any portion of the Purchased Assets (whether legal or equitable, secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured, contingent or non-contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, senior or subordinate), arising under or out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the Debtor, the operation of the Debtor’s business prior to the Closing Date, or the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, hereby are forever barred, estopped, and permanently enjoined from asserting against the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates, any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties, or the Purchased Assets, such persons’ or entities’ Claims and Interests or any other interests in and to the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, the following actions: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates or any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties, or the Purchased Assets; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree, or order against the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates or any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties, or the Purchased Assets; (c) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Claims and Interests against the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates or any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties, or the Purchased Assets; (d) asserting any setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation


due the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates, or any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties or the Purchased Assets; (e) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner or place, that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of this Sale Order, other orders of the Court, or the Purchase Agreement or actions contemplated or taken in respect thereof; or (f) revoking, terminating, or failing or refusing to transfer or renew any license, permit, or authorization to operate any of the Purchased Assets or conduct any of the businesses operated with the Purchased Assets.

27. On the Closing Date, or as soon as possible thereafter, each creditor is authorized and directed, and the Purchaser is hereby authorized, on behalf of each of the Debtor’s creditors, to execute such documents and take all other actions as may be necessary to release any Claims and Interests and other interests in or on the Purchased Assets (except Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations and Excess Senior Liens), if any, as provided for herein, as such Claims and Interests may have been recorded or may otherwise exist.

28. All persons and entities are hereby forever prohibited and enjoined from taking any action that would adversely affect or interfere with the ability of the Debtor to sell and transfer the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Sale Order.

29. The Purchaser has given substantial consideration under the Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Debtor, its estate, and creditors. The consideration given by the Purchaser, including the Credit Bid, the portion of the consideration that consists of cash and the cash payment by the Purchaser to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (the “BOEM”) reflecting the agreed amount of financial assurance provided by the Purchaser to the BOEM in respect of the Debtor’s liabilities, shall constitute valid and valuable consideration for the releases of any potential Claims and Interests pursuant to this Sale Order, which releases shall


be deemed to have been given in favor of the Purchaser by all holders of Claims and Interests against the Debtor or any of the Purchased Assets, other than holders of Claims and Interests relating to the Assumed Encumbrances, Assumed Obligations or Excess Senior Liens. The consideration provided by the Purchaser for the Purchased Assets under the Purchase Agreement is fair and reasonable and accordingly the Sale may not be avoided under Section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

30. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, shall be designated and appointed the Debtor’s true and lawful attorney and attorneys, with full power of substitution, in the Debtor’s name and stead, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, for any purpose as provided in the Purchase Agreement, including for the following purposes: (i) to demand and receive any and all of the Purchased Assets and to give receipts and releases for and in respect of the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, (ii) from time to time to institute and prosecute in the Debtor’s name, for the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, any and all proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, which the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, may deem proper for the collection or reduction to possession of any of the Purchased Assets, and (iii) to do all acts and things with respect to the Purchased Assets which the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, shall deem desirable.

Assumption and Assignment of Contracts

31. Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Sale, the Debtor’s assumption and assignment to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser’s assumption on the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement, of the Contracts is hereby approved, and the requirements of Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect thereto are hereby deemed satisfied.


32. The Debtor is hereby authorized and directed in accordance with Sections 105(a), 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to (a) assume and assign to the Purchaser, effective upon the Closing Date, the Contracts free and clear of all Claims and Interests or other interests of any kind or nature whatsoever and (b) execute and deliver to the Purchaser such documents or other instruments as may be necessary to assign and transfer the Contracts to the Purchaser.

33. The Contracts shall be transferred to, and remain in full force and effect for the benefit of, the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, notwithstanding any provision in any such Contract (including those of the type described in Sections 365(b)(2) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits, restricts, or conditions such assignment or transfer and, pursuant to Section 365(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall be relieved from any further liability with respect to the Contracts after such assignment to and assumption by the Purchaser, except as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

34. All defaults or other obligations of the Debtor under the Contracts arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date (without giving effect to any acceleration clauses or any default provisions of the kind specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code), whether monetary or non-monetary, shall be cured pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

35. To the extent a Contract Counterparty to a Contract failed to timely object to a Cure Amount, such Cure Amount shall be deemed to be finally determined and any such Contract Counterparty shall be prohibited from challenging, objecting to, or denying the validity and finality of the Cure Amount at any time, and such Cure Amount, when paid, shall completely revive any Contract to which it relates. No sections or provisions of any Contract that purport to provide for additional payments, penalties, charges, or other financial accommodations in favor of the Contract Counterparty to the Contracts shall have any force and


effect with respect to the Sale and assignments authorized by this Sale Order, and such provisions constitute unenforceable anti-assignment provisions under Section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and are otherwise unenforceable under Section 365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. No assignment of any Contract pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall in any respect constitute a default under any Contract. The Contract Counterparty to each Contract shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment under Section 365(c)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Purchaser shall enjoy all of the Debtor’s rights and benefits under each such Contract as of the applicable date of assumption without the necessity of obtaining such Contract Counterparty’s written consent to the assumption or assignment thereof.

36. All Contract Counterparties shall cooperate and expeditiously execute and deliver, upon the reasonable requests of the Purchaser, and shall not charge the Debtor or the Purchaser for any instruments, applications, consents, or other documents which may be required or requested by any public or quasi-public authority or other party or entity to effectuate the applicable transfers of the Contracts in connection with the Sale.

37. With respect to objections to any Cure Amounts that remain unresolved as of the Sale Hearing, such objections shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures approved in the Bidding Procedures Order.

38. Nothing in this Sale Order, the Motion, or in any notice or any other document is or shall be deemed an admission by the Debtor that any contract or Contract is an executory contract or unexpired lease or must be assumed and assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or in order to consummate the Sale.

39. The failure of the Debtor or the Purchaser to enforce at any time one or more terms or conditions of any Contract shall not be a waiver of such term(s) or condition(s) or of the Debtor’s and Purchaser’s rights to enforce every term and condition of such Contract.


40. All Contract Counterparties are forever barred and enjoined from raising or asserting against the DIP Agent or the Purchaser, any of their respective affiliates, any of the foregoing’s successors, assigns, or properties, or the Purchased Assets, any assignment fee, default, breach, Claim, pecuniary loss, or condition to assignment arising under or related to the Contracts existing as of the Closing Date or arising by reason of the closing of the Sale, except for any amounts that are Assumed Obligations.

Other Provisions

41. The DIP Agent acted within its authority under the DIP Credit Agreement in entering into the Purchase Agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated thereby, and its Credit Bid pursuant to the terms of the Direction Letter dated as of April 30, was authorized by the Required Lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement. All actions taken by the DIP Agent arising from or relating to entry into the Purchase Agreement and performance of its obligations thereunder were proper and lawful.

42. This Sale Order, the Purchase Agreement, and all documents ancillary thereto shall be binding in all respects upon all of the Debtor’s creditors and equity-holders, all Contract Counterparties, all successors and assigns of the Debtor, and any of their respective affiliates and subsidiaries, any trustees, examiners, “responsible persons,” or other fiduciaries appointed in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case or upon a conversion of such case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchase Agreement and any documents ancillary thereto shall not be subject to rejection or avoidance under any circumstances.

43. The Purchase Agreement and all documents ancillary thereto may be modified, amended, or supplemented by the parties thereto in a writing signed by the parties, in accordance with the terms thereof, without further order of the Court; provided that any such modification, amendment, or supplement does not have a material adverse effect on the Debtor’s estate.


44. The consideration provided by the Purchaser to the Debtor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the Purchased Assets constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration under the Bankruptcy Code, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, and under the laws of the United States, any state, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia.

45. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including without limitation, the purchase of the Purchased Assets and the assumption and assignment of the Contracts free and clear of Claims and Interests (other than Assumed Obligations, Assumed Encumbrances and Excess Senior Liens), are undertaken by the Purchaser without collusion and in good faith, as that term is defined in Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, accordingly, the reversal or modification on appeal of the authorization provided herein to consummate the Sale shall not affect the validity of the Sale free and clear of Claims and Interests (other than Assumed Obligations, Assumed Encumbrances and Excess Senior Liens), unless such authorization and such Sale are duly stayed pending such appeal. The Purchaser is a good faith purchaser within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and under other applicable Bankruptcy and non-Bankruptcy Law, as such, is entitled to the full protections under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and under other applicable Bankruptcy and non-Bankruptcy Law.

46. Nothing contained in any plan of reorganization or liquidation, or order of any type or kind entered in (a) this Chapter 11 case, (b) any subsequent Chapter 7 case into which this Chapter 11 case may be converted, or (c) any related proceeding subsequent to entry of this Sale Order, shall conflict with or derogate from the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or the terms of this Sale Order.


47. No bulk sales law or any similar law of any state or other jurisdiction applies in any way to the Sale.

48. The failure to specifically include any particular provision of the Purchase Agreement in this Sale Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Court that the Purchase Agreement be authorized and approved in its entirety; provided, however, that this Sale Order shall govern if there is any inconsistency between the Purchase Agreement (including all documents ancillary thereto) and this Sale Order. Likewise, all of the provisions of this Sale Order are non-severable and mutually dependent.

49. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to, among other things, interpret, implement, and enforce the terms and provisions of this Sale Order and the Purchase Agreement, all amendments thereto, and any waivers and consents thereunder, and each ancillary document executed in connection therewith to which the Debtor is a party or which has been assigned by the Debtor to the Purchaser, and to adjudicate, if necessary, any and all disputes concerning or relating in any way to the Sale, including, but not limited to, retaining jurisdiction to (a) compel delivery of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser, (b) interpret, implement, and enforce the provisions of this Sale Order, (c) protect the Purchaser against any Claims and Interests or any other interest in or against the Debtor or the Purchased Assets of any kind or nature whatsoever attaching to the proceeds of the Sale, (d) determine rights to the Senior Lien Escrow as contemplated by Paragraph 5 hereof (and to determine the relative priorities of the liens securing the DIP Claims and any purported Senior Liens in connection therewith and the amount of any claims secured by such Senior Liens ), and (e) enter any orders under Section 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Contracts.


50. All time periods set forth in this Sale Order shall be calculated in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a).

51. This Sale Order shall take effect immediately and shall not be stayed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 6004(g), 6004(h), 6006(d), 7062, 9014, or otherwise. The Debtor and the Purchaser are authorized to close the Sale immediately upon entry of this Sale Order, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement.

52. The Purchased Assets include all of the Seller’s claims, rights and causes of action against the holders of overriding royalties, net profits interests and similar interests (the “ORRI/NPI Holders”) with respect to any of the Purchased Assets, excluding any claims under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, other than claims pursuant to Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code (for the avoidance of doubt, any claim of the Debtor arising under Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code shall constitute a Purchased Asset). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser is purchasing only the Seller’s rights and claims against the ORRI/NPI Holders and not the claims or rights of any third party, including the claims, if any, of any holder of a statutory lien or any other party that has sought to intervene in litigation between the ORRI/NPI Holders and the Seller.

53. The provisions of this Sale Order and any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order which may be entered: (a) confirming any plan of reorganization in this case; (b) converting this case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) dismissing this case; or (d) pursuant to which this Court abstains from hearing this case.


54. To the extent that this Sale Order is inconsistent with the Purchase Agreement or any prior order or pleading with respect to the Motion in this Chapter 11 case, the terms of this Sale Order shall govern.

SIGNED this          day of June, 2013.
