(b) All payments (including all delay rentals, royalties and shut-in royalties) owing under Basic Documents have been and are being made (timely, and before the same became delinquent) by third parties where the non-payment of same by a third party could materially and adversely affect the ownership, exploration, development, operation, maintenance, value or use of any of the Properties after the Closing Date. For the purposes of the representations contained in this Section 4.18 (and without limitation of such representations), the non-payment of an amount, or non-performance of an obligation, where such non-payment, or non-performance, could result in the forfeiture or termination of rights of either Acquired Entity or any Lessee under a Basic Document, shall be considered material.

HOC or the Contributors, as applicable, shall timely pay all of the Excluded Taxes under subsection (a) of the “Excluded Taxes” definition, and shall indemnify and hold the Partnership and its Affiliates harmless from all Excluded Taxes (including any applicable costs incurred in connection with such Excluded Taxes).
(b) Transfer Taxes . The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay 100% of all Transfer Taxes when due. The Partnership and its Affiliates, the Acquired Entities, and HOC shall cooperate to obtain all available exemptions from the foregoing Transfer Taxes.

With respect to Taxes (other than income Taxes) of the Acquired Entities (including Taxes attributable to the Properties), HOC or the Contributors, as applicable, shall bear all Taxes for any Pre-Effective Tax Period, and the Partnership and its Affiliates shall bear all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) for any Post-Effective Tax Period. If any Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) or Tax refund relates to a period that begins before and ends after the Reference Date, HOC and the Partnership and its Affiliates shall use the following conventions for determining the portion of such Tax (or Tax refund) that relates to a Pre-Effective Tax Period and which relates to a Post-Effective Tax Period: (A) production or severance Taxes that are attributable to the severance or production of hydrocarbons shall be deemed allocated to the period in which the relevant severance or production occurred; (B) in the case of Property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Effective Tax Period shall be determined by multiplying such Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Reference Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period, and the remaining amount of such Taxes (or Tax refunds) shall be attributable to the Post-Effective Tax Period; and (C) in the case of all other Taxes, the amount of Taxes (or Tax refunds) attributable to the Pre-Effective Tax Period shall be determined as if a separate return was filed for the period ending as of the end of the day on the Reference Date using a “closing of the books methodology,” and the remaining amount of the Taxes (or Tax refunds) for such period shall be attributable to the Post-Effective Tax Period; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (C), exemptions, allowances, or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be apportioned between the Pre-Effective Tax Period and the Post-Effective Tax Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the Contrary: (X) the Contributors shall bear (i) all income Taxes attributable to the Acquired Entities or the Properties or allocable to the Contributors from the Acquired Entities for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (including such income Taxes allocable to the Contributors on the final IRS Form 1065 for the period ending on the Closing Date filed by the Acquired Entities) and (ii) all income Taxes imposed by applicable Law on the Contributors or their direct or indirect owners resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (Y) each party to this Agreement shall be responsible for their own federal, state and local income Tax liabilities (including any party’s allocable share of any “imputed underpayment” as defined in Section 6225 of the Code).
(d) Tax Returns . HOC shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Taxes required to be filed before the Closing Date. The Partnership and its Affiliates shall be responsible for the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Taxes required to be filed on or after the Closing Date. Each of the Acquired Entities shall timely file a final IRS Form 1065 for the Tax year ending on the Closing Date reporting and allocating all items of income, gain, credit, deduction, and loss for such Tax year thereon and report each partner’s allocable share of such items on IRS Schedule K-1.
(e) Tax Refunds . All refunds or credits for Taxes for any Excluded Tax and for any Transfer Tax shall be for the sole benefit of the Contributors; provided, however, that to the extent the Partnership or any of its Affiliates incurs an Excluded Tax or Transfer Tax and is not indemnified for such Excluded Tax or Transfer Tax, refunds or credits of such Excluded Tax or Transfer Tax shall be for the sole benefit of the Partnership and its Affiliates. To the extent that the Partnership or any of its Affiliates receives a refund or credit that is for the benefit of the Contributors, the Partnership or the applicable Affiliate shall pay such refund or the value of the credit (net of all out of pocket expenses and costs and Taxes incurred in obtaining such refund) to HOC (on behalf of the Contributors) within five Business Days. All refunds or credits for Taxes relating to the Properties for a Post-Effective Tax Period that are not Excluded Taxes shall be for the sole benefit of the Partnership and its Affiliates. To the extent that the Contributors receive a refund or credit for a Tax that is for the benefit of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, the Contributors shall pay such refund or the value of the credit (net of all reasonable out of pocket expenses and costs and Taxes incurred in obtaining such refund) to the Partnership or the applicable Affiliate within five Business Days.
(f) Tax Cooperation ; Tax Audits . The Partnership, its Affiliates, and HOC shall: (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return (including any claim for a Tax refund) relating to the Acquired Entities or the Properties; (ii) assist in any audit or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Entities or the Properties; (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Entities or the Properties; (iv) provide any information required to allow the other party to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Tax Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax. Without limiting the foregoing, on or prior to the Closing, HOC shall provide to the Partnership a schedule that sets forth the estimated adjusted tax basis in each Contributed Asset (as determined immediately prior to Closing) (the “ Tax Basis Schedule “), which HOC and the Partnership shall work in good faith to finalize as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing. HOC shall control and bear the cost of any audit or contest relating to any of the Acquired Entities or the Properties with respect to a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Reference Date, and the Partnership shall control and bear the cost of any other Tax audit or contest. The party in control of an audit or controversy shall keep the other party informed of the status of the audit or controversy (including providing copies of correspondence and pleadings). Neither the Partnership nor HOC shall settle any audit or contest in a way that would in such party’s reasonable judgment adversely affect the other party without the other party’s written consent, which the other party shall not reasonably withhold. The Partnership and HOC shall each provide the other with all information reasonably necessary to conduct an audit or contest with respect to Taxes.
(g) Allocation for Tax Purposes . The parties shall agree to the value of the Subject Common Units and agree to an allocation of such agreed value among the Properties prior to the Closing Date (the “ Allocation ”). HOC, the Contributors and the Partnership shall report the transactions contemplated hereby on all Tax Returns, including, but not limited to, for purposes of future allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code, in a manner consistent with the Allocation. If, contrary to the intent of the parties hereto as expressed in this Section 8.3(g) , any Taxing authority makes or proposes an allocation different from the Allocation, HOC, the Contributors and the Partnership shall cooperate with each other in good faith to contest such Taxing authority’s allocation (or proposed allocation); provided, however, that, after consultation with the party (or parties) adversely affected by such allocation (or proposed allocation), the other party (or parties) hereto may file such protective claims or Tax Returns as may be reasonably required to protect its (or their) interests.
(h) Section 754 Election . HOC shall cause the Acquired Entities to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year of the Acquired Entities ending on the Closing Date.

The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto unless the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3 , the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder; provided that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder.

If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. Each party hereto agrees to provide each other party with reasonable access to such documents and information as may reasonably be requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant (or claimants) and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.

In all situations arising out of this Agreement, the indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid and minimize the Losses, and the indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any indemnified party for any Losses that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such required efforts had been made. The indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for any costs and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with avoiding or minimizing such Losses.
(b) Subrogation . To the extent any Contributor (including HOC) fully discharges any claim for indemnification by any Partnership Indemnified Parties for any matter for which an Acquired Entity would have a right to indemnification from a third party, such Contributor shall be subrogated to all rights of such Acquired Entity with respect to such matter.
(c) Insurance . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE 10 shall be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 10 under insurance policies (other than self-insurance arrangements) with respect to such Losses, net of the costs of collection of such insurance proceeds, any deductibles, retrospective premium adjustments and similar charges. Subject to the indemnified party’s commercially reasonable judgment, the indemnified party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement; provided that the indemnified party shall have no obligation to initiate any Proceeding against a third party in connection therewith.
(d) Exclusive Remedy . From and after the Closing, and without limiting the liability or obligation of any party rights or remedies in the event of Fraud, the remedies of the parties specifically provided for by this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein).

SECTION 2
Payment
Section 2.1. Payment . On the 10th day of each Period (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the Business Day next preceding such day), WI Owner shall pay to the Royalty Owner as an overriding royalty hereunder an amount equal to 96.97% of the Net Proceeds for the preceding Period, computed in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.
Section 2.2. Interest on Past Due Payments . Any amount not paid by WI Owner to the Royalty Owner when due shall bear, and WI Owner will pay, interest at the weighted average Prime Interest Rate in effect during the period of underpayment; provided that such interest shall not be in excess of the maximum amount allowed by law. Under no circumstances, however, shall WI Owner willfully withhold payment properly due the Royalty Owner hereunder.
Section 2.3. Overpayment . If at any time WI Owner inadvertently pays the Royalty Owner more than the amount due, the Royalty Owner shall not be obligated to return any such overpayment, but the amount or amounts otherwise payable for any subsequent Period or Periods shall be reduced by such overpayment.
Section 2.4. Net Proceeds Account . A Net Proceeds account (the “ Net Proceeds Account ”) shall be maintained by WI Owner for each Period after the Effective Date. The Net Proceeds Account shall be credited with the aggregate of any Gross Proceeds received during such Period, and shall be debited with the aggregate of any Production Costs paid during such Period. The amounts provided for in Section 1.14(c) hereof shall be taken into account for the sole and only purpose of reducing amounts that would otherwise be debited to the Net Proceeds Account in accordance herewith, and Royalty Owner shall have no right, title or claim to such amounts.
On or before the date of payment as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, WI Owner shall furnish to the Royalty Owner a detailed statement clearly reflecting the credits and debits against and the balance of the Net Proceeds Account for the applicable Period. Any Excess Production Cost reflected by any such statement shall be carried forward to the next and succeeding Period or Periods until the Excess Production Costs shall have been liquidated. If, at the end of any Period, there are Excess Production Costs which have not been liquidated in accordance with the preceding sentence, then an amount equal to interest at the Prime Interest Rate in effect on the last day of such Period shall be computed on the unliquidated balance of the Excess Production Costs from the last day of such Period to the last day of the following Period, and such amount shall be treated as a Production Cost in such following Period.
In the event that Net Proceeds exist in the Net Proceeds Account at the end of any month, payment to the Royalty Owner of the amount of the Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be paid promptly by WI Owner to the Royalty Owner.
WI Owner shall maintain the Net Proceeds Account in accordance with good accounting practice and in a manner to minimize accounting difficulties but accomplish on a fiscal year basis the overall goal of this Conveyance, and the books and records relating thereto shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection, examination, copying and audit by the Royalty Owner and its duly authorized agents and representatives.
Section 2.5. Limitation . All payments made to Royalty Owner shall be made entirely and exclusively out of amounts received from the sale or other disposition of Subject Minerals produced from Subject Interests after the Effective Date, and in no event shall such payments exceed 100% of the value of such production at the wellhead (based upon the terms upon which such production is marketed by WI Owner) before the application of any Processing. Should the payments to Royalty Owner, computed in accordance herewith ever exceed such amount (such excess amount being herein referred to as the “ Overage ”), such Overage shall be suspended and accrued; and if the payments calculated in accordance herewith are ever again less than 100% of the value of such production at the wellhead before the application of any Processing, the Overage shall be added to subsequent payments but not in an amount which would then cause payments to exceed 100% of the value of such production at the wellhead before the application of any Processing, so that Royalty Owner, if possible, shall be entitled to receive the total amount to be distributed hereunder as if the limitation imposed by this Section had not been in effect.
SECTION 3
Miscellaneous
Section 3.1. Non-Liability of Royalty Owner . In no event shall the Royalty Owner be liable or responsible in any way for payment of any Production Costs or other costs or liabilities incurred by WI Owner or other lessees attributable to the Subject Interests or to the Minerals produced therefrom.
Section 3.2. Intention of the Parties . Nothing herein contained is intended to create, nor shall the same be construed as creating (under state law or for tax purposes), any mining partnership, commercial partnership or other partnership relation or joint venture. If, however, the parties hereto are deemed to constitute a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes, the parties elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) or any similar state law, and agree not to take any position inconsistent with such election. In addition, the parties hereto intend that the Overriding Royalty Interest conveyed hereby by WI Owner to the Royalty Owner shall at all times be treated as a nonoperating “economic interest” in the Subject Minerals within the meaning of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of succeeding law) and a non-operating mineral right for state law purposes.
THE OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTEREST CREATED BY THIS CONVEYANCE IS A RIGHT AFFECTING AND BURDENING THE SUBJECT INTERESTS. THIS CONVEYANCE CREATES AN INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY, AND THE COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS CONVEYANCE ARE COVENANTS RUNNING WITH AND BURDENING THE LAND.
PART II
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, all and singular, the Overriding Royalty Interest, unto Assignee and Assignee’s successors and assigns forever, subject, however, to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Assignor agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered such instruments, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or advisable to more fully and effectively grant, convey and assign to Assignee the rights, properties and interests assigned to Assignee hereby or intended so to be.
PART III
The Assignor and the Assignee agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered such instruments, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or advisable to more fully and effectively provide for the payment of the liabilities and obligations covered hereby.

DALLAS, TEXAS -- On March 29, 2019, Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (“DMLP”) and affiliates of its General Partner closed the acquisition of producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty and net profits interests from multiple parties. The mineral and royalty properties consist of varying undivided interests totaling approximately 76,000 net acres located in 172 counties in 14 states, including positions in the Bakken Trend of North Dakota and interests in multiple enhanced oil recovery units in the Permian Basin. Oil and gas sales volumes attributable to the mineral and royalty properties during 2018 were approximately 88,000 bbls (including liquids) and 160,000 mcf and contributed approximately 88% of the acquired interests’ net operating income in 2018.
