Re: Purchase Agreement

Mr. Chaudhary,

This letter agreement (this “Letter”) memorializes certain agreements between SEP Holdings IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Assignor”) and Bayshore Energy TX LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Assignee”) regarding the sale of the Conveyed Interests (as defined in the Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Assignment”)) from Assignor to Assignee (the “Transaction”). Assignor and Assignee are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

The Conveyed Interests are burdened by certain preferential rights held by lessors under oil and gas leases, requiring Assignor to: (i) obtain a consent from Phillip A. Goodwin (the “Goodwin Consent”), (ii) obtain a consent from Texas Osage Royalty Pool Inc. (the “Osage Consent”), (iii) obtain a consent from Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. (the “Devon Consent”), (iv) obtain a consent from Ronald W. Harris (the “Harris Consent”), (v) obtain a consent from Mark & Sandra, Ltd. (the “M&S Consent”), (vi) comply with a first right of refusal held by Jackie Lynn Russell (the “Russell ROFR”), and (vii) comply with a first right of refusal held by Larry and Judy Votaw (the “Votaw ROFR,” and collectively with the Goodwin Consent, the Osage Consent, the Devon Consent, the Harris Consent, the M&S Consent and the Russell ROFR, the “Preferential Rights”). As a result of the Preferential Rights, Assignor must either obtain the consent of the applicable lessor, or comply with the terms of the applicable first right of refusal, in each case, prior to transferring the Conveyed Interests subject to the applicable Preferential Right.

On April 27, 2021, Assignor sent (i) written requests for consent to the Transaction with respect to the Goodwin Consent, the Osage Consent, the Devon Consent, the Harris Consent and the M&S Consent; and (ii) written notices of the Transaction with respect to the Russell ROFR and the Votaw ROFR.

Assignee and Assignor agree that immediately upon the satisfaction of Assignor’s obligations, pursuant to the Preferential Rights, that are required to be observed prior to execution of a definitive agreement for the sale of the Conveyed Interests, Assignor and Assignee shall execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Assignment.

From the date of this Letter until the earlier to occur of (i) the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the Assignment, and (ii) May 31, 2021 (the “Exclusivity Period”):

a.Assignor shall not, and shall not permit any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) to directly or indirectly encourage, solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any material information to, any corporation, partnership, person or any other entity or group with respect to any transaction similar in purpose or effect to the Transaction (including through the sale of any equity interests, a merger transaction or other business combination that would effectively transfer the Conveyed Interests to a third party, in whole or in part)(an “Alternative Transaction”);

b.Assignor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, enter into any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or other agreement constituting or directly related to, or which is reasonably likely to lead to, an Alternative Transaction or any proposal for an Alternative Transaction; and

c.Assignor shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations with any parties with respect to any Alternative Transaction, not engage in any further discussions or negotiations with such parties, and in the event Assignor or its Representatives are approached or contacted by any parties with respect to any Alternative Transaction, promptly inform Assignee of the parties and subject matter thereof.

The Parties agree that during the Exclusivity Period they will maintain the confidentiality of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Assignment pursuant to that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2021, by and between Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP and Atlas Operating LLC. The Parties shall not make or issue, or cause to be made or issued, any publication or press release which includes a description of the proposed sale of the Conveyed Interests without (i) providing the other Party with an opportunity to review and comment on any such publication or press release, and (ii) receipt of the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) except to the extent, but only to such extent, that, in the opinion of the Party issuing such publication or press release such announcement or statement may be required by applicable law, any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange regulation, in which case the Party issuing such

publication or press release shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party before issuing any such publication or press release and shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in good faith with respect to the timing, manner and content of disclosure.

The Parties agree that if some, but not all, of the Preferential Rights are resolved during the Exclusivity Period, then on May 31, 2021, or an earlier date agreed upon by the Parties, the Parties shall: (i) make the applicable downward adjustment(s) to the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 3 of the Purchase Agreement) with respect to any Preferential Right that is not resolved prior to the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, and (ii) execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement. The Parties agree that prior to the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Parties shall edit the Purchase Agreement form attached as Exhibit A hereto to reflect (x) the applicable downward Purchase Price Adjustment(s) set forth in the table below, and (y) any changes to the Conveyed Interests (as defined in the Assignment), including changes required in Exhibit A and Exhibit B to the Assignment to remove Wells or Leases associated with any Preferential Rights that are not resolved prior to the expiration of the Exclusivity Period. Additionally, if Assignor does not receive the Devon Consent and/or the Osage Consent, then the Texas Osage Clawback Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), shall be reduced by the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in the table below and the Parties shall edit the Purchase Agreement to reflect such updated Texas Osage Clawback Amount.

Preferential Right	Purchase Price Adjustment
Goodwin Consent	$425,263.00
Osage Consent	$92,411.62
Devon Consent	$30,803.87
Harris Consent	$38,434.86
M&S Consent	$198,050.05
Russell ROFR	$131,460.38
Votaw ROFR	$18,569.62

Neither Assignor nor Assignee shall, directly or indirectly, take or fail to take, nor permit any affiliate or Representative to take or fail to take, any action with the intent or effect of avoiding or otherwise circumventing any provision or the intent of this Letter.

This Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any Portable Document Format (.pdf) copies hereof or signature hereon shall, for all purposes, be deemed originals.

THIS LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OR CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE IMPOSITION OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION’S LAW. The Parties acknowledge that this Letter is legally binding. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States located in Harris County, Texas, and appropriate courts of appeal therefrom, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Letter or the enforcement thereof, and each Party irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Letter or the enforcement thereof brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each Party agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Each Party agrees that the rights of the other Party under this Letter are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that, if either Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any agreement made by it herein, the non-breaching Party may be without an adequate remedy at law. If any Party violates or fails or refuses to perform any agreement made in this Letter, the non-breaching Party (in addition to any remedy at law for damages or other relief) may institute and prosecute an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce specific performance of such agreement or seek any other equitable relief.

The terms and provisions of this Letter are intended solely for the benefit of Assignee and Assignor and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other party. This Letter may not be assigned (by operation of law or otherwise) by either Party without the written consent of the other Party (which may be withheld in such non-assigning Party’s sole discretion), and any attempted assignment absent such consent shall be void ab initio. Any term or condition of this Letter may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any term or condition of this Letter, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Letter on any future occasion.

This Letter, including the exhibits attached hereto, collectively constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersede all agreements entered into prior to the date hereof, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties, pertaining to the subject matter of this Letter.

Leases or agreements including all well plugging, replugging and abandonment, facility dismantlement and removal, pipeline and flowline removal, dismantlement and removal of all other property of any kind related to or associated with operations or activities and associated site clearance, site restoration and site remediation), other than any obligations or Liabilities to the extent that they are Retained Obligations (the “Assumed Obligations”).

Section 2.Closing Obligations. On the Closing Date, the following shall occur:

(a)Each Party shall execute and deliver the Closing Statement;

(b)Assignee shall pay to Assignor an amount equal to the adjusted Purchase Price, as set forth on the Closing Statement, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Assignor;

(c)Each Party shall execute and deliver the Assignment, in sufficient counterparts to facilitate recording in the applicable counties, covering the Conveyed Interests; and

(d)Assignor shall deliver an executed certificate of non-foreign status that meets the requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(b)(2).

Section 3.Purchase Price. The purchase price for the transfer of the Conveyed Interests and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be One Million Four Hundred and Four Thousand One Hundred and Sixty One Dollars ($1,404,161.00) (the “Purchase Price”), with such amount adjusted as provided in Section 4 below.

Section 4.Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)Upward Adjustments. The Purchase Price shall be increased (without duplication) for: (i) all proceeds (including proceeds held in suspense or escrow and proceeds received after the Effective Time for Hydrocarbons produced and held in storage but not sold as of the Effective Time) received by Assignee that are attributable to the Conveyed Interests and the period prior to the Effective Time and not otherwise paid to Assignor (including outstanding accounts receivable attributable to the period prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) costs and expenses paid by Assignor and attributable to the ownership or operation of the Conveyed Interests from and after the Effective Time and not otherwise reimbursed by Assignee.

(b)Downward Adjustments. The Purchase Price shall be decreased (without duplication) for: (i) proceeds received by Assignor that are attributable to the sale of Hydrocarbons produced from the Conveyed Interests on or after the Effective Time, and (ii) any direct costs and expenses attributable to the ownership or operation of the Conveyed Interests prior to the Effective Time which are paid by Assignee but not otherwise reimbursed by Assignor.

(c)Closing Statement. A statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the actual figures, or to the extent the actual figures are not available, mutually agreed estimate of each adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with Sections 4(a) and (b), and the calculation of such adjustments and the adjusted Purchase Price determined by such calculation, shall be delivered by the Parties on the Closing Date. Any final adjustments, if necessary, will be made pursuant to Section 4(d).

(d)Final Statement. On or before one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Assignee shall prepare and deliver to Assignor a final closing statement setting forth a detailed calculation of all final adjustments to the Purchase Price (the “Final Statement”). Each Party shall provide the other access to such of the Party’s records as may be reasonably necessary to verify the post-Closing adjustments shown on the Final Statement. If Assignor disputes any items in or the accuracy and completeness of the Final Statement, then as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of the Final Statement, Assignor will deliver to Assignee a written exception report containing any changes Assignor proposes to be made to the Final Statement and the reasons therefor (“Dispute Notice”). If Assignor fails to deliver the Dispute Notice to Assignee within that period, then the Final Statement as delivered by Assignee will be deemed true and correct, binding upon and not subject to dispute by any Party. If Assignor delivers a timely Dispute Notice, then as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after Assignee receives Assignor’s Dispute Notice, the Parties will meet and undertake, in good faith, to agree on the final post-Closing adjustments to the Purchase Price. If the Parties fail to agree on the final post-Closing adjustments within sixty (60) days after Assignee’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, then the Parties will submit the dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which firm has not performed any material work for any of the Parties or their affiliates within the preceding five (5) year period (“Accounting Expert”). The cost of the Accounting Expert shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by each Party. Each Party shall present to the Accounting Expert, with a simultaneous copy to the other Party, a single written statement of its position on the dispute in question, together with a copy of this Agreement, the Closing Statement, the proposed Final Statement, the Dispute Notice and any supporting material that such Party desires to furnish, not later than ten (10) business days after appointment of the Accounting Expert. In making its determination, the Accounting Expert shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, without any additional or supplemental submittals by either Party (except as may be specifically requested by the Accounting Expert), may consider such other accounting and financial standards matters as in its opinion are necessary or appropriate to make a proper determination. The Parties shall direct the Accounting Expert to resolve the disputes within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written statements submitted for review and to render a decision in writing based upon such written statements. The Accounting Expert shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Final Statement dispute presented to it, shall be limited to the procedures set forth in this Section 4(d), shall not have the powers of an arbitrator, shall not consider any other disputes or matters, and may not award damages, interest, costs, attorney’s fees, expenses or penalties to any Party. Upon agreement of the Parties to the adjustments to the Final Statement, or upon resolution of such adjustments by the Accounting Expert, as the case may be, the amounts in the Final Statement (as adjusted pursuant to such agreement or resolution by the Accounting Expert) will be deemed final, conclusive and binding on all of the Parties, without right of appeal, and the aggregate amount due to either Party pursuant to such Final Statement will be paid within five (5) business days after the final determination is made that such payments are due and payable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire transfer instructions designated in advance by the receiving Party to the paying Party in writing for the account of the receiving Party.

(e)Payments and Reimbursements. Until one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, any proceeds, costs, or expenses that would constitute upward or downward adjustments herein but that are not reflected in the Final Statement shall be treated as follows: (a)

Assignor will promptly forward, or cause to be forwarded, to Assignee any payments received by Assignor with respect to proceeds that would constitute downward adjustments but are not reflected in the Final Statement; (b) Assignor will be responsible for costs or expenses that would constitute downward adjustments but that are not reflected in the Final Statement and shall promptly pay, or, if paid by Assignee, promptly reimburse Assignee for such costs or expenses; (c) Assignee will promptly forward, or cause to be forwarded, to Assignor any payments received by Assignee with respect to proceeds that would constitute upward adjustments but that are not reflected in the Final Statement; and (d) Assignee will be responsible for costs or expenses that would constitute upward adjustments but that are not reflected in the Final Statement and shall promptly pay, or, if paid by Assignor, promptly reimburse Assignor for such costs or expenses.
