(a) From and after the Execution Date, each Contributing Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and send (i) notices to any third Person holders of any consents to assignment of any of the Contributed Interests requesting applicable consents, and (ii) notices to the holders of any applicable Preferential Purchase Rights requesting waivers of such Preferential Purchase Rights, in each case that would be triggered by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. From and after the Execution Date, each Contributing Party shall further use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue and obtain all Required Consents (provided, however, that no Contributing Party shall be required to make any out of pocket payments to such holders of such Required Consents). Each Contributing Party shall notify the Company prior to the Closing of all such Preferential Purchase Rights and consents that have not been waived or granted, as applicable, or that have been exercised in the case of Preferential Purchase Rights, and the specific Contributed Interests to which they pertain.

(b)    At the Closing, any Contributed Interests subject to an unsatisfied Required Consent and any Contributed Interests with respect to which a Preferential Purchase Rights has been exercised prior to the Closing, or with respect to which the period for the exercise of such right has not expired, without exercise, shall not be assigned or transferred (whether directly or indirectly) to Remora Holdings.

(c)    If a Preferential Purchase Rights has been exercised prior to the Closing but the holder of such preferential purchase right fails to consummate the purchase of the applicable Contributed Interest (or a portion thereof) on or before the first to occur of (i) the date that is 120 days following the Closing or (ii) the end of the period of time for consummating such sale or exercising such right, then (x) the Applicable Contributing Party shall so notify the Company, and (y) the Applicable Contributing Party shall assign to Remora Holdings, as applicable, the Contributed Interest (or portion thereof) so excluded at the Closing pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the applicable Conveyance Document to which such Contributing Party is required to assign and convey such Contributed Interest (or portion thereof) under this Agreement.

(d)    If any Required Consent is not obtained by the Closing, each Applicable Contributing Party and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to establish an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Company under which Remora Holdings would obtain the claims, rights and benefits and assume the corresponding liabilities, debts, obligations and commitments under such Contributed Interests (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement) or under which each Applicable Contributing Party would enforce for the benefit of Remora Holdings any and all claims, rights and benefits of such Applicable Contributing Party against a third party thereto and (y) each Applicable Contributing Party, at the reasonable request of the Company (and at the Company and Remora Holdings’ sole cost and expense) and for the account of Remora Holdings shall enforce, any of such Contributing Parties’ rights thereto or interests therein against any third parties thereto (including the right to terminate any such Contributed Interest in accordance with its terms). If within 120 days following the Closing the Applicable Contributing Party obtains the consent or waiver of any Required Consent binding on a Contributed Interest which is withheld from Closing pursuant to Section 6.8(b), then (i) the Applicable Contributing Party shall so notify the Company and (ii) the Applicable Contributing Party shall assign to Remora Holdings the Contributed Interest (or portion thereof) so excluded,

28

pursuant to an instrument in substantially the same form as the applicable Conveyance Document to which such Contributing Party is required to assign and convey such Contributed Interest (or portion thereof) under this Agreement. If any Required Consent binding on a Contributed Interest which is withheld from Closing pursuant to Section 6.8(b) is not obtained by the date that is 120 days after the Closing, (A) Remora Holdings shall pay to such Contributing Party any proceeds received by Remora Holdings from such Contributing Party pursuant to this Section 6.8(d), that are attributable to such Contributed Interest, and (B) the Applicable Contributing Party shall pay to the Company the cash value of the portion of the Aggregate Consideration received by such Contributing Party that is equal to Excluded Contributed Interest Value directly attributable to such excluded Contributed Interest. For purposes of this Section 6.8(d), the “Excluded Contributed Interest Value” with respect to such an excluded Contributed Interest shall be calculated as the sum of the result of the following calculation which shall be made with respect to each Well for which the Net Revenue Interest is decreased due to the exclusion of such Contributed Interest, such calculation being the product of (a) the Allocated Value of the applicable Well multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the decrease in the Applicable Contributing Party’s (and Remora Holdings’, as successor in interest to Seller) Net Revenue Interest in such Well and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated on the Applicable Schedule with respect to such Well.

6.9    Right of First Offer.

(a) ROFO Assets. The parties set forth on Exhibit G hereby grant to the Company and Remora Holdings a right of first offer on the assets described on Exhibit G (the “ROFO Assets”) to the extent that any such party or any such party’s controlled Affiliate proposes to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of, whether in one or a series of transactions (such actions collectively, “Transfer”) all or any portion of the ROFO Assets (other than to an Affiliate of such party who agrees in writing that such ROFO Assets remain subject to the provisions of this Section 6.9 and such Affiliate assumes the obligations under this Section 6.9 with respect to such ROFO Assets) or enters into any valid and binding agreement relating to such Transfer or proposed Transfer of any ROFO Assets from the Execution Date until three years following the Closing.

(b)    Procedures.

(i)    If a party set forth on Exhibit G (a “Transferring Party”) proposes to Transfer any applicable ROFO Asset (other than to an Affiliate in accordance with Section 6.9(a)) (a “Proposed Transaction”), the Transferring Party shall or shall cause its applicable controlled Affiliate to, prior to making or accepting an offer to effect any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing to the Company and Remora Holdings (the “ROFO Notice”) of its intention to make or accept an offer with respect to such Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include (A) a description of the ROFO Assets subject to the Proposed Transaction, and (B) any material terms, conditions and details (other than the purchase price of the Proposed Transaction) as would be reasonably necessary for the Company and Remora Holdings to make an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the applicable Transferring Party or Transferring Parties, which terms, conditions and details shall at a minimum include any terms, conditions or details that such Transferring Party would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. If the Company and/or Remora Holdings decide to offer to purchase the ROFO Assets, the Company and Remora Holdings shall have 15 days following receipt of the ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Response Deadline”) to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with such Transferring Party or Transferring Parties (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including the purchase price the Company or Remora Holdings proposes to pay for the ROFO Asset and the other material terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the Company or Remora Holdings would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the Company or Remora Holdings by the ROFO Response Deadline, then the Company and Remora Holdings shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer contained in this Section 6.9 with respect to such ROFO Asset, subject to Section 6.9(b)(iii).

29

(ii)    If such Transferring Party rejects the ROFO Response, such ROFO Response shall be deemed to have been rejected by such Transferring Party and the Transferring Party shall not be required to enter into an agreement with the Company or Remora Holdings regarding the Proposed Transaction. If such Transferring Party accepts the ROFO Response, it will confirm such acceptance in a written notice to the Company or Remora Holdings upon the terms set forth in the ROFO Response.

(iii)    If (x) the Company or Remora Holdings does not timely deliver a ROFO Response by the ROFO Response Deadline as specified above with respect to a Proposed Transaction that is subject to a ROFO Notice, then the Transferring Party shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction on any terms it wishes without any further obligation owed to the Company or Remora Holdings with respect to such Proposed Transaction, or (y) such Transferring Party rejects a ROFO Response, then such Transferring Party shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any other Person on terms and conditions that are not more favorable, in the aggregate, to such other Person than those terms and conditions proposed by the Company or Remora Holdings in the ROFO Response, in each case considering the identity and financial position of such other Person; provided, that with respect to the circumstances noted in both (x) and (y) above, if such Proposed Transaction with another Person shall not have been consummated within 120 days after the ROFO Response Deadline, then the ROFO Notice shall be deemed to have lapsed, and such Transferring Party shall not Transfer any of the assets described in the ROFO Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Section 6.9 if and to the extent applicable.

(iv)    The Transferring Parties and the Company and Remora Holdings acknowledge that any Transfer of ROFO Assets pursuant to the Company’s and Remora Holdings’ right of first offer under this Section 6.9 is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to the ROFO Assets and shall be subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of security holders, governmental authorities, lenders or other Persons.

(v)    If requested by the Company or Remora Holdings and at such requesting party’s sole cost and expense, the applicable Transferring Party or Transferring Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or prepare, or cause to be provided or prepared, any audited or unaudited financial statements with respect to any ROFO Assets Transferred pursuant to this Section 6.9 to the extent required under Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC or any successor statute.

(c)    Company Decisions. For so long as Remora or an Affiliate of Remora provides services to the Company or Remora Holdings pursuant to the Management Services Agreement or a successor agreement, all decisions by the Company or Remora Holdings to exercise or refrain from exercising the Company’s or Remora Holdings’ rights pursuant to this Section 6.9 as such rights relate to Remora or its controlled Affiliates shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company.

6.10    Initial Public Offering; Lock-Up Period.

(a)    Each Contributing Party agrees, if requested by the Company or the representative of the Underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, to promptly provide such information as may be reasonably and customarily requested by the Company or such representative of the Underwriters in connection with the Initial Public Offering (to the extent such information is in the possession of such Contributing Party), and to otherwise cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. Subject to Section 6.5, the Company shall determine all matters related to the Initial Public Offering and the related registration process.

30

(b)    In connection with the Initial Public Offering, each Contributing Party agrees that, upon request of the managing Underwriter or managing Underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, it shall enter into a standard lock-up agreement (in customary form and not exceeding 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement) covering any equity securities in the Company and for a period specified by the managing Underwriter or managing Underwriters of such Initial Public Offering, as well as any other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing Underwriter or managing Underwriters of such Initial Public Offering, in each case that are consistent with this Section 6.10 or are necessary to give further effect thereto.

6.11    Allocated Values. The Parties have accepted such Allocated Values for purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, but otherwise make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such values.

6.12 Reasonable Best Efforts. Except to the extent that the Parties’ obligations are specifically set forth elsewhere herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the Closing to occur.

6.13    Inspection. Until the second anniversary of the Closing, the Contributing Parties shall be entitled, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, to inspect the Company’s books and records to assess the Company’s enforcement of this Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled, at the applicable Contributing Party’s sole cost and expense, to inspect any of the Contributing Parties’ books and records to assess such Contributing Party’s enforcement of this Agreement (the inspecting Person, the “Inspecting Party”, and the Person being inspected, the “Inspected Party”); provided, however, that the Inspecting Party shall perform (or cause their designated representatives to perform) such inspection in a reasonable period of time and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize inconvenience to the Inspected Party’s personnel and disruption of the Inspected Party’s business. The Inspected Party agrees (and agrees to cause any of its relevant Affiliates and service providers) to reasonably cooperate with the Inspecting Party (or their designated representatives) in the performance of any such inspection.

34

THIS INDEMNIFICATION IS EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY OR REMORA HOLDINGS, BUT EXCLUDING IN EACH CASE ANY DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE COMPANY OR REMORA HOLDINGS WHICH SHALL NOT BE COVERED BY THIS INDEMNIFICATION.

(b)    The obligation of each Contributing Party to indemnify the Company and Remora Holdings pursuant to Section 9.2(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i)    In no event shall such Contributing Party’s obligation to indemnify the Company and Remora Holdings pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of Section 3.7 or Section 3.11) exceed 10% of the Aggregate Consideration paid to such Contributing Party.

If, at the end of the Cure Period, the alleged breach has not been resolved or cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Company and Remora Holdings, the minimum amount of Damages for such breach shall be an amount equal to the sum of the result of the following calculation which shall be made with respect to each Well for which the Net Revenue Interest is decreased due to such breach of Section 3.11, such calculation being the product of (a) the Allocated Value of the applicable Well multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the decrease in the Applicable Contributing Party’s (and Remora Holdings’, as successor in interest to Seller) Net Revenue Interest in such Well and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated on the Applicable Schedule with respect to such Well.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 9.1), and except to the extent the Company and Remora Holdings are indemnified from and against any such Damages pursuant to Section 9.2, from and after the Closing, the Company and Remora Holdings, shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Contributing Parties from and against all Damages actually suffered by any member of the Contributing Parties as a result of or arising out of or under:

(i) a breach of any representation or warranties (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations) of the Company or Remora Holdings;

(ii) a breach of any Fundamental Representation of the Company or Remora Holdings; or

(iii) a breach of any covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement of the Company or Remora Holdings.

35

THIS INDEMNIFICATION IS EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY OF THE CONTRIBUTING PARTIES, BUT EXCLUDING IN EACH CASE ANY DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE CONTRIBUTING PARTY WHO IS ENTITLED TO SUCH INDEMNIFICATION FROM COMPANY OR REMORA HOLDINGS, WHICH SHALL NOT BE COVERED BY THIS INDEMNIFICATION.

(b)    The obligation of the Company and Remora Holdings to indemnify the Contributing Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) is subject to the following limitations:

(i)    In no event shall the Company and Remora Holdings’ obligation to indemnify the Contributing Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) exceed 10% of the Aggregate Consideration paid to the Contributing Parties.

(ii)    In no event shall the Company and Remora Holdings’ aggregate obligation to indemnify the Contributing Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) exceed the Aggregate Consideration paid to the Contributing Parties.

(iii)    The Company and Remora Holdings shall be obligated to indemnify the Contributing Parties pursuant to Section 9.3(a) only for those claims giving rise to Damages of the Contributing Parties as to which any such Contributing Party has given the Company written notice prior to the end of the applicable Survival Period. Any written notice delivered by any Contributing Party to the Company with respect to Damages of the Contributing Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of the Contributing Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof.

9.4    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)     Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE IX, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this ARTICLE IX. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE IX for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within 15 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such action that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.4, or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.4 but fails diligently to prosecute the proceedings related to such claim as herein provided, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (if the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder), such claim by all appropriate proceedings. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought under this ARTICLE IX (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

36

(b)    In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of Damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 9.2(b)(iv), if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 15 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in the Indemnity Notice shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

(c)    In determining the amount of any Damages for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party and (ii) all amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.

(d)    The date on which notification of a claim for indemnification is received as provided in Section 11.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall determine whether such claim is timely made.

(e)    From and after Closing, if any Party receives any refund of Indemnified Taxes, such Party shall remit any such refund to the Party responsible for such Taxes pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.

(f)    To the extent that this Section 9.4 is inconsistent with the provisions of ARTICLE VIII, the provisions of ARTICLE VIII shall control.

9.5    No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. In this regard, there shall be no duplication of recovery under Article VIII and this ARTICLE IX.

9.6    Exclusive Remedies. Except as provided in Section 6.2, Section 10.3, and ARTICLE VIII and except with respect to claims or causes of action arising from actual fraud or claims by Remora Holdings under the special warranty of Defensible Title in the applicable Conveyance Documents, the Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party or their respective Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or any other claims relating to the events giving rise to this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein or contemplated hereby shall be limited to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE IX; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not in any way limit the Company’s or Remora Holding’s remedies with respect to any rights to receive proceeds under any Contributed Interests.

9.7    No Exemplary or Punitive Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE IX OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH PARTY SUFFERS SUCH DAMAGES TO AN UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM, IN WHICH EVENT SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE RECOVERABLE.

9.8    Preservation of Rights with respect to Representations. The representations and warranties of each of the Parties set forth in this Agreement, subject to the express exceptions thereto, shall not be affected by any information furnished to, or any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date by any of the Parties or their respective representatives in connection with the Transaction. In order to preserve the benefit of the bargain otherwise represented by this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other Party set forth herein notwithstanding any investigation or audit conducted or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) before or after the Closing Date, or the decision of any Party to complete the Closing.

37

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

10.1    Termination of Agreement.

(a)    This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time before the Closing as follows:

(i)    By the mutual written agreement of (i) the Company and (ii) the Contributing Parties holding at least a Supermajority Interest;

(ii)    By the Company or by the Contributing Parties holding at least a Supermajority Interest, if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable order, injunction or other legal restraint permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by ARTICLE II of this Agreement, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(ii) shall have complied with its obligations in Section 6.3, Section 6.4 and Section 6.10;

(iii)    By the Company if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Contributing Parties, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the Closing Date;

(iv)    By the Contributing Parties holding at least a Supermajority Interest if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company or Remora Holdings, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 that is not capable of being satisfied or cured by the Closing Date; or

(v)    By any Party, upon written notice to the other Parties, if the transactions contemplated by ARTICLE II of this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or prior to such date that that is [one] month from the Execution Date (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(v) shall not be available to any such Party whose failure to perform or observe in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement proximately caused the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by ARTICLE II of this Agreement on or before the End Date.

(b)    Prior to pricing the Initial Public Offering, the Company shall disclose to each Contributing Party the commercial terms on which the Company proposes to price the Initial Public Offering, including the number of shares to be sold, the price per share to the public and the amount of the underwriting discount and structuring fee (the “Proposed Pricing Terms”). Each of the Remora Contributing Parties, Vendera Contributing Parties and AVAD Contributing Parties shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such foregoing right to terminate shall irrevocably expire upon receipt by the Company of the affirmative consent of each of the Remora Contributing Parties, Vendera Contributing Parties and AVAD Contributing Parties to the Proposed Pricing Terms at the pricing of the Initial Public Offering.

10.2    Effect of Certain Terminations. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this ARTICLE X, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate, except the provisions of Section 6.5, Section 6.6, this ARTICLE X and ARTICLE XI shall survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for any intentional or willful and material breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies of a non-breaching Party under this Agreement in the case of such intentional or willful and material breach, at law or in equity, shall be preserved notwithstanding termination of this Agreement pursuant to this ARTICLE X.

38

10.3    Enforcement of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Parties agree that prior to the termination of this Agreement, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Contributing Parties, the Company and Remora Holdings, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to each of the Parties.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1    Release. As of the Closing Date, each of the Contributing Parties (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and forever discharges, effective as of and forever after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Company and Remora Holdings (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, actions or causes of action, suits, judgments or controversies of any kind whatsoever that such Releasing Party may possess against each Released Party, if any, or any of them that arises out of or is based on any (collectively, “Pre-Transaction Claims”) agreement or understanding or act or failure to act (including any act or failure to act that constitutes ordinary or gross negligence or reckless or willful, wanton misconduct), misrepresentation, omission, transaction, fact, event or other matter occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (whether based at law or in equity or otherwise, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, accrued or not accrued) (collectively “Pre-Transaction Matters”), including: (a) claims by such Releasing Party with respect to repayment of loans or indebtedness; (b) any rights, titles and interests in, to or under any agreements, arrangements or understandings to which such Releasing Party is a party (other than this Agreement or any Transaction Document); and (c) claims by such Releasing Party with respect to equity interests, dividends, distributions, violations of preemptive rights and such Releasing Party’s status as an officer, director, stockholder, member, option holder or other security holder of a Released Party; provided, however, that this Section 11.1 shall not apply to any claim to enforce this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. Each Releasing Party further agrees, from and after the Closing Date, not to file or bring any claim before any Governmental Entity on the basis of or respecting any Pre-Transaction Claim concerning any Pre-Transaction Matter against any Released Party. Each Releasing Party (i) acknowledges that such Releasing Party fully comprehends and understands all the terms of this Section 11.1 and their legal effects and (ii) expressly represents and warrants that (A) such Releasing Party is competent to effect the release made in this Section 11.1 knowingly and voluntarily and without reliance on any statement or representation of any Released Party or its representatives and (B) such Releasing Party had the opportunity to consult with an attorney of such Releasing Party’s choice regarding this Section 11.1.

40

11.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between and among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between or among the Parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as set forth specifically herein or contemplated hereby. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V), (a) the Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Contributing Parties, the Company or Remora Holdings or any other Person has made, and the Parties are not relying upon, any covenant, representation or warranty, written or oral, statutory, expressed or implied, as to the Contributing Parties, the Company or Remora Holdings or any other Person, as applicable, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any Party furnished or made available to any other Party and (b) no Party shall have or be subject to any liability to any other Person, or any other remedy in connection herewith, based upon the distribution to any other Person of, or any other Person’s use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available to such Person in any management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.5    Amendments and Modifications; Waivers.

(a)    No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound thereby.

(b)    The failure of a Party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

11.6    Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, except as set forth in ARTICLE IX and Section 11.1. No Party hereto may assign, transfer, dispose of or otherwise alienate this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) except that each of the Company and the Remora Holdings may transfer their respective rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate. Any attempted assignment, transfer, disposition or alienation in violation of this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective.

11.7    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable such term or provision as to any other jurisdiction or any of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

11.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the Parties. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by electronic transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.

41

11.9    Recourse Parties. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and notwithstanding the fact that some of the Parties may be a partnership or limited liability company, each Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the other Parties hereto (and their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Recourse Parties”) shall have any obligation hereunder and that it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any Transaction Document delivered pursuant hereto or contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith against (a) any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of the other Party (or any of the foregoing Persons successors or permitted assignees), (b) any former, current, or future general or limited partner, owner, manager, stockholder or member of the other Party (or any of the foregoing Persons successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or (c) any former, current or future director, owner, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including the any Recourse Parties (each such Person, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Recourse Parties, a “Party Affiliate”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of any Party against the Party Affiliates, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other Law, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Party Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of any Party under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any Transaction Documents, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
