WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Trust Agreement, Seller desires to sell, transfer, convey, and assign the Assets (as defined below) to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase and accept the Assets, all in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Avalon TX Operating, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, is the operator of all the Wells (as defined below) burdened by the ORRIs (as defined below), pursuant to that certain Contract Operating Agreement dated as of November 1, 2018;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual conditions and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms hereof, agree as follows:

1.             Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement but effective as of the Effective Time, Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, and assign the Assets (free and clear of all liens or encumbrances other than as set forth in the Conveyances), to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase, acquire, accept and pay for the Assets and shall assume the Assumed Obligations.

2.             Assets. As used herein, the term “Assets” refers to the Seller’s right, title, interest and estate in and to the following:

(a)            any and all right, title, interest and claims in, to, under and/or derived from the perpetual and term overriding royalty interests conveyed to Seller pursuant to the terms of the Conveyances (“ORRIs”) granting to Seller an undivided interest in and to all Minerals (as such term is defined in the Conveyances) in, under and that may be produced and saved from the Target Formations (as that term is defined in the Conveyances) underlying the lands subject to or covered by the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit A-1 hereto, insofar and only insofar as they cover the Targeted Formations from the wells listed on Exhibit A-1 hereto (the “Wells”);

(b)            all trade credits, all accounts, receivables, and all other proceeds, income, or revenues attributable to the Minerals (the “Proceeds”) that are attributable to the time period from and after the Effective Time; and

(c)            all files, records, and data maintained by Seller, or to which Seller is entitled, including, without limitation, data and other documentary information regarding the Minerals, and the Proceeds to the extent the transfer of such data is not prohibited under any related contracts (the “Records”); provided, however, that the term “Records” shall not include any of Seller’s files, records, and data that (i) relate to its business generally, (ii) are legal in nature, (iii) relate to the sale of the Assets, and (iv) the transfer of which is prohibited by contract or law or that would impose a transfer fee or penalty on Seller.

For the avoidance of doubt, any other assets of Seller not specifically included in clauses (a) – (d) above shall be deemed excluded assets.

3.             Sale Price. The unadjusted sale price for the Assets shall be $6,000,000.00 based on the Effective Time (the “Sale Price”). Exhibit A-3 attached hereto sets forth the agreed allocation of the unadjusted Sale Price among the Assets. The “Allocated Value” for any Asset equals the portion of the unadjusted Sale Price allocated to such Asset on Exhibit A-3, increased or decreased by a proportionate share of each adjustment to the unadjusted Sale Price under Section 8 that affects such Asset, whether occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller has accepted such Allocated Values for purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby but makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such values.

4.             Effective Time. The sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m., central prevailing time, on July 1, 2021 (the “Effective Time”).

9.             Split of Proceeds. Seller shall be entitled to all Proceeds realized from and accruing to the Assets prior to the Effective Time. Buyer shall be entitled to all Proceeds realized from and accruing to the Assets on or subsequent to the Effective Time.

10.           Taxes.

(a)            For all purposes of Section 8 and solely with respect to the Assets, (i) taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of hydrocarbons shall be allocated to the period in which the severance or production giving rise to such taxes occurred, (ii) taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts or imposed on a transactional basis (other than such taxes described in clause (i)) shall be allocated to the period in which the transaction giving rise to such taxes occurred, and (iii) taxes that are ad valorem, property or other taxes imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a per diem basis between the period ending immediately prior to the day including the Effective Time and the period beginning on such day.

The Parties agree that (i) for the purposes of the Allocation, the Assets are properly classified as “Class V assets” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338- 6(b)(2)(v)) and (ii) and neither Party shall take a position in any forum that is inconsistent with the Allocation before any governmental authority, or in any proceeding relating to any tax, unless otherwise required by applicable law following a final determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

11.           Post-Closing Accounting. If necessary, a post-Closing accounting to finalize the adjustments to the Sale Price provided herein shall be held no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. At that time, Seller shall provide to Buyer a complete account as to all Proceeds received by or on behalf of Seller that are attributable to the Assets during the period from the Effective Time to the Closing Date (netted against any Proceeds received by Buyer attributable to the Assets for any period of time prior to the Effective Time). Such account shall be settled between the Parties by the payment of cash, as appropriate, pursuant to a final settlement statement setting forth the items noted in this Section 11 and taking into account payments related to such matters that were made at Closing, to be prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer.

Buyer agrees that each of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement and the special warranty in the Assignment (such representations and warranties, collectively, the “Covered R&W”) are the only representations and warranties of Seller that are within the scope of coverage for an insurance policy. Furthermore, Buyer hereby agrees that if Buyer or any of its affiliates obtains or binds a representation and warranties insurance policy with respect to the Covered R&W (such policy, the “R&W Insurance Policy”) such policy shall (a) contain a waiver of subrogation by the insurer in favor of Seller, and (b) not be amended, modified or otherwise changed, nor shall Buyer or any of its affiliates terminate or waive any provision of such R&W Insurance Policy, in each case, in a manner materially adverse to Seller. Buyer shall be responsible for and shall timely and fully pay the premium, any deposits or underwriting fees, retention amounts and all other costs or expenses under or associated with any R&W Insurance Policy obtained by Buyer or any of its affiliates and Buyer shall be responsible for compliance by its affiliates with the terms of this Section 12. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that upon Closing each Covered R&W will terminate and will be of no further force and effect, except as necessary to trigger coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy.
