Buyer as appropriate. If an Authority For Expenditure (“AFE”) is sent to a Seller by a third-party operator, such Seller will, as promptly as possible but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following receipt, provide Buyer with a copy of all information contained in the proposal, including the AFE, together with such Seller’s recommendation with regard to such proposal.

5.4 Further Assurances; Consents; Preferential Rights.

(a) Each of the Parties hereto hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to obtain, any and all approvals of Governmental Authorities in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to take all such other commercially reasonable actions as are necessary or advisable by it in order to cause it to be able to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

(b) From and after the date hereof and continuing after Closing, Sellers shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such approvals and consents by third parties that are required to vest such Seller’s title to the Assets in Buyer, or that are otherwise required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such approvals and consents to be obtained and delivered prior to Closing. Within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, Sellers shall prepare and send notices to the holders of any required consents to assignment requesting consents to the conveyance of the applicable Assets. In the event that Sellers fail to obtain a consent prior to the Closing, and (i) the failure to obtain such consent would cause (A) the assignment of the Assets affected thereby to Buyer to be void or voidable, or (B) the termination or loss of a contract or an Asset under the express terms thereof, (ii) the consent is required from a Governmental Authority, or (iii) Sellers have been notified that the holder of any such consent right has rejected or will otherwise not grant such

 

42


consent, then Buyer shall have the right to elect that any such affected Asset (a “Hard Consent Asset”) not be transferred to Buyer at Closing. In such cases, such Hard Consent Asset shall be retained by Sellers and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Hard Consent Asset. If an unsatisfied consent requirement with respect to a Hard Consent Asset for which an adjustment is made to the Base Purchase Price is subsequently satisfied prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing, a separate closing shall be held within five (5) Business Days thereof at which (i) Sellers shall convey such Hard Consent Asset to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall pay an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Hard Consent Asset to Sellers. If such consent requirement is not satisfied within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Sellers shall have no further obligation to sell and convey such Hard Consent Asset and Buyer shall have no further obligation to purchase, accept and pay for such Hard Consent Asset, and such Hard Consent Asset shall be deemed to be deleted from the applicable Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement for all purposes. For all other consent requirements that have not been satisfied as of Closing, the relevant Assets shall be transferred to Buyer by Sellers at Closing with no reduction to the Base Purchase Price, and Sellers shall thereafter continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent(s).

(c)

(i) Each Seller agrees that it will, (A) within 10 days of the date hereof, request execution of waivers of all preferential rights to purchase identified on Schedule 3.3(b), and (B) within 10 days of the date identified, all other preferential rights to purchase applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case from the parties holding said preferential rights to purchase (and in accordance with the documents creating such rights) (any such right in (A) or (B), a “Preferential Right”).

(ii) If the holder of a Preferential Right exercises such right, Sellers shall tender to such party the required interest in the affected Asset at a price equal to the Allocated Value (reduced pro rata, or as otherwise mutually agreed, if less than the entire Asset must be tendered), and such interest shall be excluded from the transaction contemplated hereby and the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the Allocated Value (reduced pro rata, or as otherwise mutually agreed, if less than the entire Asset must be tendered) for such interest.

(iii) If, on the Closing Date, the holder of a Preferential Right has not indicated whether or not it will exercise such preferential right and the time period within which the holder of the Preferential Right must exercise its right has not lapsed, then the Asset affected thereby or portion thereof shall be retained by Seller and the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the Allocated Value associated with such interest in such Asset. Closing with respect to such Asset shall be deferred. In the event that within ninety (90) days after Closing any such Preferential Right is waived or the time for election to purchase has expired (such that under the applicable documents, Seller may sell the affected Asset to Buyer), then subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Closing with respect

 

43


to such Asset will proceed promptly. If such waivers for any Preferential Right as are necessary are not received by Sellers within the applicable ninety (90) day period and the time for election has not expired, Sellers shall retain such Assets affected thereby and the Parties shall have no further obligation to each other with respect thereto.

5.5 Filings. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare and make or cause to be made any required filings, submissions and notifications under the laws of any Governmental Authority to the extent that such filings are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including to obtain the consents and approvals, contemplated by Section 5.4). Each Party will furnish to the other Party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

5.6 Publicity. All general notices, releases, statements and communications to suppliers, distributors and customers of Sellers or Buyer and to the general public and the press relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made only at such times and in such manner as may be agreed upon in advance by Sellers and Buyer; provided, however, that any Party hereto or its Affiliates shall be entitled to make a public announcement of the foregoing if, in the opinion of its legal counsel, such announcement is required to comply with Laws or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system and if it first gives prior written notice to the other Party hereto of its intention to make such public announcement and provides the opportunity to review the content of such disclosure.

5.7 Covenant to Satisfy Conditions. Sellers and Buyer will cooperate with each other and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the conditions set forth herein are satisfied, insofar as such matters are within the control of such Party, including in connection with regulatory filings and applications.

5.8 Liability. Subject to Section 8.1(b), which addresses each Seller’s joint and several liability with respect to any indemnification obligations of Sellers under Article VIII that are paid out of the Escrow Fund: (i) any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Sellers hereunder are made by each such Seller solely with respect to itself and its ownership interest in the Assets only, and not with respect to any other party or any other interests in the Assets, including without limitation such other Seller or its interest in the Assets, and (ii) the obligations of the Parties constituting the Sellers, including the obligations of indemnity (other than to the extent such obligations are satisfied by the Escrow Fund) and liability to Buyer shall be several and not joint as between each Seller.

5.9 Additional Acreage Acquisitions. Except as provided in this Section 5.9, Sellers will not acquire any Oil and Gas Interests between the Execution Date and the Closing Date. If Sellers propose to acquire any Oil and Gas Interests between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, Sellers shall request the consent of Buyer (which may be provided or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion) to acquire such Oil and Gas Interests and to include such Oil and Gas Interests (the “Additional Interests”) within the Assets purchased by Buyer hereunder. As to any such Additional Interests consented to in writing by Buyer, such Additional Interests, when acquired by Sellers, shall be included within the Assets and the Exhibits hereto shall be supplemented as

 

44


necessary to reflect the inclusion of such Additional Interests. Additional Company Net Acres represented by such approved Additional Interests shall be utilized to replace an equivalent number of Company Net Acres by which the Company Net Acres may be less than as set forth on Exhibit C.

Buyer agrees to reimburse Sellers at Closing pursuant to Section 2.5 or in connection with any post-closing settlement provided for herein the amount of any Property Taxes allocated to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) that are paid or to be paid by Sellers. To the extent the actual amount of a Property Tax is not determinable at the time an adjustment to the Purchase Price is to be made with respect to such Property Tax pursuant to Section 2.5 or in connection with any post-closing settlement provided for herein, as applicable, (i) the Parties shall utilize the most recent information available in estimating the amount of such Property Tax for purposes of such adjustment, and (ii) upon the later determination of the actual amount of such Property Tax, timely payments will be made from one Party to the other to the extent necessary to cause each Party to bear the amount of such Property Tax that is allocable to such Party under this Section 7.2(a).

Sellers and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes, and to use reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other documents from any Governmental Authority as may be possible to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any such Taxes.

(d) Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Assets (other than Income Taxes) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to such Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Assets for any period including the Closing Date or any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date for which a Tax Return has not been filed as of the Closing Date.

Any Well located on the Robinson Lease that Buyer does not elect to assume pursuant to this Section 7.13(a) shall be deemed to be an Excluded Asset from and after the Closing Date;

(b) in the event that as of the Closing there is not a non-appealable final judgment entered in the Robinson Litigation quieting title to the Robinson Lease in Sellers (a “Favorable Robinson Judgment”) or a release executed by EQT of all rights with respect to the Robinson Lease containing at a minimum the terms and conditions described in Schedule 7.13 hereto (a “Robinson Release”), the Robinson Lease shall be retained by Sellers at Closing and the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the Allocated Value associated with the Robinson Lease pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(viii) and Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to $568,956.50 (the “Robinson Deposit”);

(c) unless and until the Robinson Lease is purchased by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.13(g), the Robinson Lease shall be deemed to be an Excluded Asset from and after the Closing Date;

(d) from and after the date hereof until the end of the Option Period, Sellers (X) shall maintain, and shall not permit the termination of, the Robinson Lease, (Y) shall not transfer, dispose of or relinquish any rights with respect to the Robinson Lease to any party other than Buyer and (Z) shall otherwise comply with the covenants applicable to the Assets contained in Section 5.1 as if such covenants applied to the Robinson Lease until the end of the Option Period;

(e) from and after the date hereof, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain (1) a Favorable Robinson Judgment in the Robinson Litigation and to otherwise remove any cloud on the title of the Robinson Lease related to or resulting from claims asserted by EQT in the Robinson Litigation or (2) a Robinson Release;

(f) from and after the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, cooperate with Buyer and any other Buyer indemnified Party in connection with Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party’s defense of any claims raised with respect to the Robinson Litigation, including, without limitation, providing access to relevant witnesses, documentation and other information relevant to any such matter except to the extent such communication is subject to privilege;

 

57


(g) once such Favorable Robinson Judgment or Robinson Release (either, a “Robinson Final Resolution”) is obtained:

(i) Sellers shall, within five Business Days after such Robinson Final Resolution is obtained, (1) file, or cause their Affiliates to file, a certified copy of the Robinson Final Resolution in the real property records of Wetzel County, West Virginia and (2) provide written notice (such notice, a “Robinson Notice”) of such Robinson Final Resolution to Buyer, which shall include a copy thereof;

(ii) upon receipt by Buyer of a properly delivered Robinson Notice, Buyer shall have 30 days from the date Buyer receives the Robinson Notice (such period, the “Robinson Diligence Period”) to conduct a title and environmental examination of the Robinson Lease in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A as if the provisions of Exhibit A were in effect with respect to such title and environmental examination, and Buyer shall be entitled to raise Title Defects and Environmental Defects with respect to the Robinson Lease in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A, and any Title Defects and Environmental Defects raised by Buyer during the Robinson Diligence Period shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A as if such provisions had been extended to cover such examination and defect process; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, (A) the calculation of the Defect Basket shall include the aggregate Title Defect Amounts and Environmental Defect Amounts determined previously with respect to all other Title Defects and Environmental Defects previously identified and (B) in no event shall Sellers have the right to retain the Robinson Lease on account of Title Defects;

(iii) if a Robinson Final Resolution occurs (X) on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, then Buyer shall acquire the Robinson Lease from Sellers at a price equal to 100% of the Allocated Value associated with the Robinson Lease less any adjustments for Title Defects and Environmental Defects attributable to the Robinson Lease (the “Robinson Adjusted Price”) or (Y) after the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date through the date that is three (3) years following the Closing Date, then Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable within 10 Business Days following the termination of the Robinson Diligence Period, to acquire the Robinson Lease from Sellers at a price equal to the Robinson Adjusted Price; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event a Robinson Final Resolution occurs on or prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the Robinson Closing and Buyer refuses to close in a timely manner, Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be to receive the Robinson Deposit, which the Parties agree shall be deemed to be liquidated damages, in which case Buyer and Seller Representative shall execute Joint Instructions authorizing the Escrow Agent to release the Robinson Deposit to Sellers from the Escrow Fund;

(iv) if a Robinson Final Resolution does not occur on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, the Robinson Deposit shall be released to Buyer; and

 

58


(v) at the closing of the acquisition of the Robinson Lease by Buyer (if any, and not including any such acquisition occurring at Closing, the “Robinson Closing”) (A) Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer the Robinson Deposit if it has not been released to Buyer under clause (iv) above and Buyer shall deliver to Sellers an amount in cash equal to the Robinson Adjusted Price less the Robinson Escrow Amount, and an executed counterpart to the Robinson Escrow Agreement, and deliver to the Escrow Agent the Robinson Escrow Amount; (B) Sellers shall deliver to Buyer an executed assignment and bill of sale (in such counterparts as are reasonably requested by Buyer) in substantially the same form as the Assignment conveying the Robinson Lease to Buyer; (C) it shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close that Sellers shall have delivered to Buyer either (X) a title insurance policy from Title Company covering the Robinson Lease in an amount sufficient to cover 100% of the Allocated Value of the Robinson Lease and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (and containing all of the terms set forth on the form, and not containing any exceptions other than those set forth on the form and the Acceptable Modifications); provided, that in no event shall the Robinson Litigation or the matters disputed therein be exclusions to recovery under the title insurance policy or (Y) the Robinson Release; provided, however, that in the event that Sellers are unable to deliver (X) or (Y) prior to the Robinson Closing, and Buyer elects to waive the condition set forth in this Section 7.13(g)(v)(C) and proceed with the Closing, then the Robinson Litigation shall be deemed to be a Retained Liability for the purposes of this Agreement; (D) Sellers shall deliver to Buyer (1) an executed counterpart to the Robinson Escrow Agreement; and (2) any other original instruments, documents and other items reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms of this Section 7.13 as may be reasonably requested by Buyer; and (E) Buyer and Sellers shall enter into an escrow agreement governing (or shall amend the Escrow Agreement to cover) the Robinson Escrow Fund (such new escrow agreement or amended Escrow Agreement, the “Robinson Escrow Agreement”), with the terms of the Robinson Escrow Agreement being substantially similar to the Escrow Agreement.

(h) Upon payment of the Robinson Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, the Robinson Escrow Amount shall thereafter be held in escrow and invested by the Escrow Agent pending disbursement pursuant to Section 2.4(g), this Section 7.13, Article VIII and the terms of the Robinson Escrow Agreement. “Robinson Escrow Fund” means the funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 7.13, which shall be comprised of the Robinson Escrow Amount, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time by interest earned thereon and by any disbursements made in accordance with Section 2.4(g), this Section 7.13, Article VIII and the Robinson Escrow Agreement. After the Closing, the Robinson Escrow Fund shall be used to satisfy obligations to the Buyer Parties under Article VIII. The provisions of Sections 2.4(b) through 2.4(e) that are applicable to the Escrow Fund, including provisions governing distributions or payments out of the Escrow Fund, shall apply in all respects to the Robinson Escrow Fund, mutatis mutandis, (for the avoidance of doubt, with “Closing Date” meaning the date of the Robinson Closing, with “Escrow Fund” meaning the Robinson Escrow Fund, and with “Escrow Agreement” meaning the Robinson Escrow Agreement, and such provisions of Sections 2.4(b) through 2.4(e) are incorporated into this Section 7.13(h).

 

59


7.14 EQT Release Acres. Prior to Closing, Sellers shall have the right to carve out, retain and transfer to EQT up to 79.79 Company Net Acres located in the northern part of Tract 04-23-16 located in the Grant District in Wetzel County, West Virginia shown on the map on Schedule 7.14 (such acreage, the “EQT Release Acres”). In the event such EQT Release Acres are carved out, retained and transferred to EQT as described in this Section 7.14, such EQT Release Acres shall be deemed to be Excluded Assets and the Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by the Allocated Value thereof.

7.15 Transfer of Permits. Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer or cause the transfer of all Permits (including well work Permits) to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as permitted pursuant to applicable Law (including the proposed Senate Bill No. 280 in West Virginia relating to the transfer of well work permits) and to cooperate with Buyer in all respects in the preparation, execution, delivery and or filing of any documentation or other instruments reasonably necessary to facilitate the transfer of such Permits to Buyer.

7.16 Partition Matter.

(a) At the Closing, the Partition Property shall be retained by Sellers and shall not be transferred to Buyer except as further described in this Section 7.16, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of the Partition Property. Unless and until the Partition Property is transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.16, the Partition Property shall be deemed to be an Excluded Asset from and after the Closing Date.

(b) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve in Sellers’ favor the Partition Property Matter. Sellers shall not transfer, convey, sell or otherwise dispose of the Partition Property without Buyer’s written consent (which may be withheld for any reason).

(c) In the event that the Partition Property Matter is Finally Resolved (such resolution, the “Partition Property Resolution”), Sellers shall provide written notice to Buyer informing Buyer of such resolution. Buyer shall have 30 days from the date Buyer receives such written notice (such period, the “Partition Property Diligence Period”) to conduct a title and environmental examination of the Partition Property in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A as if the provisions of Exhibit A were in effect with respect to such title and environmental examination, and Buyer shall be entitled to raise Title Defects and Environmental Defects with respect to the Partition Property in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A, and any Title Defects and Environmental Defects raised by Buyer during the Partition Property Diligence Period shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A as if such provisions had been extended to cover such examination and defect process; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the calculation of the Defect Basket shall include the aggregate Title Defect Amounts and Environmental Defect Amounts determined previously with

 

60


respect to all other Title Defects and Environmental Defects previously identified and (ii) in no event shall Sellers have the right to retain the Partition Property on account of Title Defects. After Buyer’s receipt of a notice from Sellers following the Partition Property Resolution, Buyer shall, within 10 Business Days following the termination of the Partition Property Diligence Period, acquire the Partition Property from Sellers at a price equal to the Allocated Value of the Partition Property less any adjustments for Title Defects and Environmental Defects attributable to the Partition Property (the “Partition Property Adjusted Price”).

(d) In connection with the Partition Property Matter, Sellers shall bid on and attempt to acquire the 24 unleased mineral acres (the “Additional Mineral Acres”). In the event Sellers are able to acquire such Additional Mineral Acres, the amount paid by Buyer at the Partition Property Closing shall be increased in an amount equal to the amount paid by Sellers in the auction to acquire such Additional Mineral Acres; provided, however, that in the event Sellers pay in excess of $16,000 per mineral acre for the Additional Mineral Acres, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire such Additional Mineral Acres at the Partition Property Closing, and in the event that Buyer does not elect to acquire such Additional Mineral Acres at the Partition Property Closing, such Additional Mineral Acres shall constitute Excluded Assets and shall be retained by Sellers and there shall be no adjustment to the amount paid at the Partition Property Closing on account thereof. Buyer shall have the right to accompany Sellers at the auction to acquire the Additional Mineral Acres. Sellers shall provide Buyer with written notice of the minimum price per net acre within two (2) Business Days following such determination by the judge.

(e) At the closing of the acquisition of the Partition Property by Buyer (if any, the “Partition Property Closing”), Buyer shall deliver to Sellers the Partition Property Adjusted Price plus the amount paid by Sellers in the auction to acquire the Additional Mineral Acres, if applicable, in accordance with Section 7.16(d), and Sellers shall deliver to Buyer an executed assignment and bill of sale (in such counterparts as are reasonably requested by Buyer) in substantially the same form as the Assignment conveying the Partition Property (including the Additional Mineral Acres, if applicable) to Buyer.

8.2 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.5, each Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, managers, members and directors (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, actions, hearings, actions, litigation, investigations, obligations, judgments, losses, penalties, fines, charges, settlement amounts, deficiencies, injunctions, orders, decrees, rulings, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) imposed upon or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by such Seller pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(ii);

(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by a Buyer Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of an Action or other event giving rise to a claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party for indemnification under this Section 8.2(b) (a “Buyer Claim”), the Party receiving such notice shall notify (the “Buyer Claim Notice”) Sellers in writing of the commencement of such Action or the assertion of such Buyer Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve Sellers of its obligations hereunder unless the Buyer Indemnified Party fails to deliver a proper Buyer Claim Notice prior to the date specified in this Section 8.2(b), and then only to the extent that Sellers are materially prejudiced thereby. Sellers shall have the option, and shall notify Buyer Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a Buyer Claim Notice of its election, either: (A) to participate (at the expense of Sellers) in the defense of such Action or Buyer Claim (in which case the defense of such Action or Buyer Claim shall be controlled by Buyer Indemnified Party) or (B) to admit liability to said Buyer Claim and take charge of and control the defense of such Action or Buyer Claim (at the expense of Sellers); provided, that pending such notice and assumption of defense, Buyer Indemnified Party may take such steps to defend against such Action or Buyer Claim as, in Buyer Indemnified Party’s good-faith judgment, are appropriate to protect its interests. If Sellers elect to control the defense, it will conduct the defense of the Action actively and diligently, and it will not compromise or settle the Action or Buyer Claim without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in Section 8.4. Sellers shall not be entitled to assume or retain control of any Action or Buyer Claim (and Sellers shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by Buyer Indemnified Party in defending such Action) which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against Buyer Indemnified Party which Buyer Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If Sellers fail to notify Buyer Indemnified Party of its election within the applicable response period, then Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to control the defense of such Action or Buyer Claim. If Sellers elect to control the defense of any Action or Buyer Claim, Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of such Action or Buyer Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Buyer Indemnified Party.

 

63


(c) Except as provided in Section 8.4, if Sellers do not control the defense of any Action or Buyer Claim, then (i) Buyer Indemnified Party may settle such Action or Buyer Claim only with the prior written consent of Seller Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (ii) Buyer Indemnified Party may defend against the Action or Buyer Claim in a reasonable manner; (iii) Sellers shall reimburse Buyer Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for its reasonable third party costs incurred in defending against the Action or Buyer Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred), upon presentation of invoices and related documentation supporting such third party costs; and (iv) Sellers will remain responsible for any Losses that Buyer Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Action or Buyer Claim to the extent provided in this Article VIII.

(i) any breach of a representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(ii);

(b) Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by a Seller Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of an Action or other event giving rise to a claim by a Seller Indemnified Party for indemnification (a “Seller Claim”), the Party receiving such notice shall notify (the “Seller Claim Notice”) Buyer in writing of the commencement of such Action or the assertion of such Seller Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder unless the Seller Indemnified Party fails to deliver a proper Seller Claim Notice prior to the date specified in this Section 8.3(b), and then only to the extent that Buyer is materially prejudiced thereby. Buyer shall have the option, and shall notify Seller Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a Seller Claim Notice of its election, either: (A) to participate (at its own expense) in the defense of the Action or Seller Claim (in which case the defense of such Action or Seller Claim shall be controlled by Seller Indemnified Party) or (B) to take charge of and control defense of such Action or

 

64


Seller Claim (at its own expense); provided, that pending such notice and assumption of defense, Seller Indemnified Party may take such steps to defend against such Action or Seller Claim as, in Seller Indemnified Party’s good-faith judgment, are appropriate to protect its interests. Buyer shall not be entitled to assume or retain control of any Action or Seller Claim (and Buyer shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by Seller Indemnified Party in defending such Action) which seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against Seller Indemnified Party which Seller Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If Buyer fails to notify Seller Indemnified Party of its election within the applicable response period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to control the defense of such Action or Seller Claim. If Buyer fails to notify Seller Indemnified Party of its election within the applicable response period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to control the defense of such Action or Seller Claim. If Buyer elects to control the defense, it will not compromise or settle the Action or Seller Claim without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in Section 8.4.

8.4 Consent to Settlement; Cooperation. Either Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be (each an “Indemnifying Party”), in the defense of any claim or litigation, may, without the consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement only if the same includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (as applicable) of a full and unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. A Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the Indemnifying Party, may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

65


8.5 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for Sellers’ breach of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(ii) (but not including the representations and warranties under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3(a), 3.9, 3.11 and 3.13), unless and until the amount of all Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party exceeds two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate (the “Basket”), in which event the Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover all Losses incurred in respect of such breaches, including Losses up to the amount of the Basket, but subject to the Maximum Indemnity Amount;

(b) Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) for Buyer’s breach of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(ii), unless and until the amount of all Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of such breaches exceeds the Basket, in which event the Seller Indemnified Parties may recover all such Losses incurred in respect of such breaches, including Losses up to the amount of the Basket, but subject to the Maximum Indemnity Amount;

(c) Sellers’ aggregate maximum liability for Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i), but not including any Losses in respect of breaches of any representations and warranties under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3(a), 3.9, 3.11 and 3.13, and Buyer’s aggregate maximum liability for Losses under Section 8.3(a)(i), shall be twenty percent (20%) of the Base Purchase Price (the “Maximum Indemnity Amount”);

(d) Any payments due and payable to any Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of any claim for indemnification of Buyer under Section 8.2 for which Buyer is owed a payment for indemnification, shall be paid to Buyer first from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.4(c) to the extent of available funds therein, then from the Robinson Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.4(g) and Section 7.13(h) to the extent of available funds therein, and thereafter from the applicable Sellers, individually and severally, to the extent of each such Seller’s allocable share of the indemnification obligation in respect of such claim (after considering the portion of such Seller’ allocable share of such indemnity obligation actually paid to Buyer from the Escrow Fund and the Robinson Escrow Fund in respect of such claim).

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in Section 2.4, Section 7.2, Section 8.8 or Section 10.7 and except for fraud, after the Closing, the Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse against each other for any Loss or claim of Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be expressly limited to the provisions of this Article VIII. Under no circumstances shall any Party be liable to the other Party for punitive damages, and this sentence shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1. Buyer, on behalf of each Buyer Indemnified Party, and each Seller, on behalf of each Seller Indemnified Party, waive any right to recover punitive and exemplary damages arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

66


8.7 Title Defects and Environmental Defects. Except for Buyer’s remedies for any breach by such Seller of (a) its representations and warranties under Section 3.10 or Section 3.11, (b) its covenants under Section 5.1(c) and (e) the special warranty of title contained in the Assignment or any subsequent assignment and bill of sale, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to Title Defects, and Environmental Defects, or Losses arising with respect thereto, shall be as provided in Exhibit A.

8.8 Disclaimer of Other Warranties.

(a) The express representations and warranties of such Seller contained in this Agreement are exclusive and are in lieu of all other representations and warranties, express, implied, or statutory. Except as provided in Article III, SUCH SELLER HAS NOT MADE, AND SUCH SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES, AND BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO (I) PRODUCTION RATES, RECOMPLETION OPPORTUNITIES, DECLINE RATES, GAS BALANCING INFORMATION OR THE QUALITY, QUANTITY, OR VOLUME OF THE RESERVES OF HYDROCARBONS, IF ANY, ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ASSETS, (II) THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY INFORMATION, DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) NOW, HERETOFORE OR HEREAFTER FURNISHED TO BUYER BY OR ON BEHALF OF SUCH SELLER, (III) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, (IV) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (V) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, (VI) ANY RIGHTS OF PURCHASERS UNDER APPROPRIATE STATUTES TO CLAIM DIMINUTION OF CONSIDERATION, AND (VII) ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES EXISTING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW; IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF BOTH BUYER AND SELLERS THAT SUBJECT TO AND WITHOUT LIMITING SUCH SELLER’S EXPRESS REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN, THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND FIXTURES INCLUDED WITHIN THE PROPERTIES ARE TO BE CONVEYED TO BUYER IN THEIR PRESENT CONDITION AND STATE OF REPAIR, AND THAT BUYER HAS MADE OR CAUSED TO BE MADE SUCH INSPECTIONS AS BUYER DEEMS APPROPRIATE. SELLERS AND BUYER AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE DISCLAIMERS OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION ARE “CONSPICUOUS” DISCLAIMERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR ORDER.

(b) Buyer understands that operation of the Leases is subject to requirements of the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction. It will be the obligation of Buyer to ensure that, as of the Closing, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, Buyer will meet the qualifications of the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, in order to become record operator of the Leases.

 

67


8.9 Materiality Qualifiers Disregarded. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of any Losses under this Article VIII arising from the existence of a breach of any of the Party’s representations and warranties herein, all such breached representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality shall be deemed to be not so qualified. For the avoidance of doubt, however, for the purpose of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty, all such qualifiers shall be considered.

ARTICLE IX

(g) by Sellers, ten (10) days (subject to Section 9.4) after providing written notice to Buyer that Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement such that any of Sellers’ conditions to closing in Article VI would not be satisfied; provided that Buyer has not cured any such breach within such ten (10) day period; and provided further that at the time of such notice to Buyer, no Seller is in material breach of this Agreement; or

(h) by Buyer upon written notice to Sellers of the occurrence of (i) Adverse Blackshere Filing, or (ii) Adverse Robinson Filing.

9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, all further obligations of the Parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of either Party to the other; provided, however, the last sentence of Section 8.6 and the obligations contained in this Section 9.2 and Section 10.2 of this Agreement shall survive any such termination.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 in any situation other than that stated in Section 9.2(c), Buyer shall be entitled to receive the Deposit.

(c) In the event that (i) all of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied, (ii) Sellers are ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) Buyer refuses to close, and Sellers terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g), Sellers shall be entitled to receive the Deposit, which the Parties agree shall be deemed to be liquidated damages.

(d) Subject to the proviso contained in this sentence, in the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(h) (except for a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(f) in the event such termination is effected solely as a result of the failure of the closing condition contained in Section 6.2(e) to be satisfied), Sellers shall be required to reimburse Buyer for the reasonable expenses (both internal expenses and third party expenses), including attorneys fees, incurred by Buyer from

 

69


and after the Execution Date in connection with Buyer’s due diligence review and the performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $1,000,000, as soon as reasonably possible after such termination, but not later than two (2) Business Days after such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) solely as a result of the failure of the covenant contained in Section 7.12(d) to be satisfied (after Sellers have otherwise complied with their obligations under Section 7.12(d)) and the closing condition contained in Section 6.2(d) to be satisfied, then the amount to be paid by Sellers to Buyer in accordance with this Section 9.2(d) shall be an amount equal to the product of $30,000 times the number of calendar days between the Execution Date and the day after the Title Policy Commitment Failure Date. If a termination described in the preceding sentence is effected solely on account of a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article IV made by a particular Seller, the reimbursement obligation contained in this Section 9.2(d) shall be the obligation of such Seller and (x) if such Seller is a TE Party, all TE Parties or (y) if such Seller is a Republic Party, all Republic Parties.

9.3 Remedies Upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(f), Buyer shall have the right to seek monetary damages from Sellers in connection with the Sellers’ breach of this Agreement.

9.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, each of the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party hereto contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance by the other Party hereto with any of such Party’s covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein.

72


10.11 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, association, trust, mining partnership or other entity, nor shall the provision hereof be implied as creating such a relationship.

10.12 Resolution of Disputes. The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the relationship of the parties under this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, at law or in equity (a “Dispute”) between them using direct negotiations, mediation and arbitration as set out in this Section 10.12. A Party who violates this Section 10.12 shall pay all legal and consulting fees and costs incurred by the other Party in any suit, action, or Proceeding to enforce Section 10.12. While the procedures in this Section 10.12 are pending, each Party shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement, unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.

(a) If a Dispute arises, a Party shall initiate the resolution process by giving notice setting out in writing and in detail the issues in Dispute and the value of the claim to the other Party. A meeting between the Parties, attended by individuals with decision-making authority, must take place within thirty (30) days from the date the notice was sent in an attempt to resolve the Dispute through direct negotiations.

(b) If the Dispute cannot be settled by direct negotiations within thirty (30) days of initiation of the resolution process, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other Party. The place of mediation is Houston, Texas.

(c) If the Dispute is not resolved by mediation within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice requiring mediation, or if the Dispute is unresolved within sixty (60) days from the date requiring direct negotiations, then the Dispute shall be finally settled by binding arbitration and either Party may initiate such arbitration by giving notice to the other Party. If a Party refuses to toll all applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time while the proceedings in Section 10.12(a) and Section 10.12(b) are pending, or if for any reason a Party believes its Claims may be time barred, then any Party may file an arbitration Proceeding under this Section 10.12(c) in an attempt to preserve its Claims and such Proceeding shall be stayed by the arbitrator or arbitrators after appointment so that the Parties may continue efforts to resolve this Dispute as set out in this Section 10.12. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration (“CPR”) Rules at present in force. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or the CPR Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The place of arbitration is Houston, Texas.

(d) The following provisions shall apply to any arbitration proceedings commenced pursuant to Section 10.12(c):

(i) Number of Arbitrators. The number of arbitrators shall be one if the monetary value of the Dispute is five million Dollars (US $5,000,000) or less. The number of arbitrators shall be three if the monetary value is greater than five million Dollars (US $5,000,000).

 

73


(ii) Selection of Arbitrators. If, pursuant to Section 10.12(d)(i), the number of arbitrators is one, then the CPR shall be the appointing authority. If, pursuant to Section 10.12(d)(i), the number of arbitrators is three, then within 15 days of the claimant or claimants providing notice to respondent or respondents of a Dispute, the claimant or claimants shall appoint one arbitrator and the respondent or respondents shall appoint one arbitrator (it being understood and agreed that neither claimants nor respondents may dispute the other Party’s selection of arbitrator other than on the reasonable basis of a conflict of interest), and the two arbitrators so appointed shall select the third and presiding arbitrator within 15 days following appointment of the second party-appointed arbitrator. If either the claimant(s) or respondent(s) fail to appoint an arbitrator within the permitted time period or if the arbitrators appointed by the claimant(s) and respondent(s) fail to appoint the presiding arbitrator within the permitted time period, then the missing arbitrator(s) shall be selected by the CPR.

(iii) Arbitrator Impartiality. The arbitrator or arbitrators must remain neutral, impartial and independent regarding the Dispute and the Parties. If the number of arbitrators to be appointed is one, that arbitrator or the presiding arbitrator if the arbitrators are three, must be a lawyer experienced in the resolution of Disputes with experience relating to the issues in dispute.

(iv) Arbitration Documents. The Parties shall submit true copies of all documents considered relevant with their respective statement of Claim or defense and any counterclaim or reply. Neither Party may compel the other to produce additional documents, without the concurrence of the arbitrator or arbitrators. However, upon motion of a Party, the arbitrator or arbitrators may decide to require the submission of additional documents limited to specific, narrow and well-defined classes of documents that the arbitrator considers or arbitrators consider necessary for the arbitrator’s or arbitrators’ understanding and resolution of the Dispute. The maximum number of witnesses each Party may call to give evidence on its behalf, including by oral testimony, declaration or witness statement, is three witnesses of fact and one expert witness.

(v) Power of Arbitrator. The Parties waive any Claim for, and the arbitrator has or arbitrators have no power to award, the damages waived and released under Section 9.5.

74


(vii) Interim Orders. The arbitrator is or arbitrators are authorized to take any interim measures as the arbitrator considers or arbitrators consider necessary, including the making of interim orders or awards or partial final awards.

Further, the arbitrator is or arbitrators are authorized to make pre- or post-award interest at applicable statutory interest rates during the relevant period.

(viii) Issuance of Arbitrator Award. The award is final and binding. The Dispute should be resolved as quickly as possible. The arbitrator’s or arbitrators’ award must be issued within three months from the completion of the hearing, or as soon as possible thereafter.

(e) The Parties waive irrevocably their right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, to the extent that such waiver may be validly made.

Proceedings to confirm an award may be filed as provided in this Section 10.12(f) at any time within one year after the award is made.

(g) Proceedings to enforce judgment entered on an award may be brought in any court having jurisdiction over the person or assets of the non-prevailing Party. The prevailing Party may seek, in any court having jurisdiction, judicial recognition of the award, or order of enforcement or any other order or decree that is necessary to give full effect to the award.

(h) The Parties agree that any Dispute and any negotiations, mediation and arbitration proceedings between the Parties in relation to any Dispute shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any Third Party.

(iv) With the prior written consent of the other Party.

(k) The Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Houston, Texas, for the purposes of any proceedings to enforce Section 10.12 or to prevent any information, documents or materials belonging to a Party from being used or disclosed by that Party for any purpose.

EXHIBIT A

Attached to and made part of that certain

Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between Trans Energy, Inc.,

et al, and TH Exploration, LLC

PROCEDURE FOR CLAIMING TITLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEFECTS

AND ADJUSTING THE BASE PURCHASE PRICE

1. Title and Environmental Procedure. From the date of this Agreement until noon Central Time ninety (90) days after the Execution Date (the “Examination Period”), Sellers will afford to Buyer and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, personnel and books and records of Sellers and to the Assets (including the Lands) in order for Buyer to conduct a title examination and environmental examination as Buyer may in its sole discretion choose to conduct with respect to the Assets in order to determine whether Title Defects or Environmental Defects exist.

2. Accessible Information; Expenses; Confidential Information; Indemnification. Buyer and its representatives may examine, and Sellers further shall provide reasonable access to Buyer with respect to all abstracts of title, title opinions, title files, ownership maps, lease files, assignments, division orders, operating records and agreements, well files, financial and accounting records, geological, geophysical, engineering and environmental records, in each case insofar as the same may now be in existence and in the possession of Sellers, provided, however, that Sellers may withhold access to (a) all legally privileged documents and (b) information that Sellers are prohibited from disclosing by bona fide, third party confidentiality restrictions; provided further that Sellers will use its reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of any such restrictions in favor of Buyer. The cost and expense of Buyer’s review of the title to the Assets and environmental conditions on the Assets will be borne solely by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors, and assigns against any damages arising from or in connection with Buyer’s due diligence examination of title to, or the environmental conditions of, the Assets, except for damages that arise in whole or in part from the negligence, strict liability or willful misconduct of Sellers or their officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors, and assigns.

3. Notice of Asserted Title Defects and Environmental Defects. If, in good faith, Buyer discovers any Title Defect or Environmental Defect affecting any of the Assets, Buyer shall endeavor to notify Sellers of such alleged Title Defect or Environmental Defect promptly, and provide to Sellers a bi-weekly status summary of alleged Title Defects or Environmental Defects prior to the expiration of the Examination Period; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to promptly notify Sellers shall not constitute a waiver of any such alleged Defect to the extent that the notice is received prior to the expiration of the Examination Period. To be effective, such notice (“Title Defect Notice” or “Environmental Defect Notice,” respectively) must:

(a) be in writing;

(b) be received by Sellers prior to the expiration of the Examination Period;

 

A-1


(c) describe the Title Defect or Environmental Defect in reasonable detail including the basis therefore;

(d) identify the specific Assets to which such Title Defect or Environmental Defect relates; and

(e) include the value of such Title Defect or Environmental Defect as determined by Buyer in good faith.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the rights of Buyer with respect to Sellers’ breach of the special warranty of title set forth in the Assignment (or any subsequent assignment and bill of sale), at the end of the Examination Period, any matters that may otherwise constitute a Title Defect, but of which Sellers have not been specifically notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, will be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, by execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers hereby agree that Buyer shall be deemed to have given Sellers a valid Title Defect Notice with respect to Leases affected by the Identified Title Matter and that the value of the Title Defect with respect to each such Lease shall be equal to the Allocated Value of such Lease.

4. Cure. Upon the receipt of an effective Title Defect Notice or Environmental Defect Notice from Buyer, Sellers may attempt to cure such Title Defect or Environmental Defect prior to Closing, or after the Closing pursuant to Section 10 of this Exhibit A, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense (it being understood and agreed that such costs and expenses shall not be deemed to be Property Costs and shall not be included as an increase the Base Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to the Identified Title Matter, (X) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ratify each of the Leases identified on Schedule 3.6 prior to Closing, which, assuming will be sufficient to cure the Identified Title Matter to the extent of such ratification with respect to each such Lease, and (Y) in the event Sellers are unable to obtain a ratification of any Lease identified on Schedule 3.6 prior to Closing and Sellers instead enter into a new lease covering all or a portion of such Title Defect Property, the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Lease and such new lease shall be handled in accordance with Section 5.9 (as if such Section 5.9 applied following the Closing as well), and shall not be deemed to cure such Title Defect Property and shall not be deemed to be a Title Defect Credit for purposes of this Agreement. A property affected by any Title Defect or Environmental Defect will be referred to as a “Title Defect Property” or “Environmental Defect Property” respectively.

5. Defensible Title. As used in this Exhibit A, “Defensible Title” means, other than Permitted Encumbrances, as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, with respect to each of the Subject Wells and each of the Leases and Fee Properties described on Exhibit C, such record title and ownership by Sellers that:

(a) entitles Sellers to receive and retain from each Subject Well described in such Exhibit C, without reduction, suspension or termination, not less than the percentage set forth on Exhibit C as the Net Revenue Interest of all hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from such Subject Well throughout the productive life of such Subject Well except for decreases in connection with those operations in which Sellers may from and after the date of this Agreement be a non-consenting co-owner to the extent consenting to an operation is prohibited by Section 5.1.

 

A-2


(b) obligates Sellers to bear a percentage of the costs and expenses relating to the exploration, maintenance, development and operation of each Subject Well that is not more than the Working Interest set forth for such Subject Well on Exhibit C (except to the extent such increase is accompanied by a proportionate increase in the Net Revenue Interest applicable to such Subject Well) throughout the productive life of such Subject Well except increases resulting from contribution requirements with respect to defaults by co-owners from and after the date hereof under applicable operating agreements;

(c) with respect to each Lease and each Fee Property on Exhibit C, entitles Sellers to the Net Revenue Interest, Working Interest and Company Net Acres reflected therefor in Exhibit C throughout the productive life of all wells located on said Lease; and

(d) is free and clear of all liens, mortgages, charges, encumbrances, security interests, claims, and similar burdens on the Assets (collectively, “Encumbrances”).

6. Title Defect Amount; Environmental Defect Amount. “Title Defect Amount” means, with respect to a Title Defect Property, the reduction in the Allocated Value, of said Title Defect Property as a result of the existence of one or more Title Defects. “Environmental Defect Amount” means, with respect to an Environmental Defect Property, the costs to cure (including the costs to perform Remediation of) such Environmental Defect, taking into account the considerations in Section 6(c). Title Defect Amounts and Environmental Defect Amounts will be determined as follows:

(a) The Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property will be determined by taking into consideration the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property affected by such Title Defect (or if the Title Defect Property does not have a specific Allocated Value, then the Allocated Value thereof will be derived from the Allocated Value of the Lease associated therewith), the portion of the Title Defect Property subject to such Title Defect, and the legal effect of such Title Defect on the Title Defect Property affected thereby; provided, however, that:

(i) if such Title Defect is in the nature of the Net Revenue Interest in (A) a Subject Well being less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Exhibit C with respect thereto and the corresponding Working Interest remains the same, then the Title Defect Amount will be the Allocated Value for the relevant Subject Well, as applicable, multiplied by the percentage reduction in such Net Revenue Interest as a result of such Title Defect (B) a Lease (a “Reduced NRI Lease”) being less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Exhibit C with respect thereto and the corresponding Working Interest remains the same, then the Title Defect Amount will be equal to the product of (i) the actual Net Revenue Interest of Sellers in such Reduced NRI Lease multiplied by (ii) the Company Net Acres of such Reduced NRI Lease reflected in Exhibit C multiplied by (iii) the Revised Per Acre Amount;

 

A-3


(ii) if such Title Defect is the result of a discovery by Buyer that Sellers owns fewer Company Net Acres of a Lease or Fee Property than the Company Net Acres reflected therefor in Exhibit C, then Buyer and Sellers agree that the proportion of reduction to the Purchase Price shall be equal to the product of the Allocated Value for such Lease or Fee Property, as applicable, and the percentage reduction in such Company Net Acres as a result of such Title Defect;

(iii) if such Title Defect is in the nature of an Encumbrance, then the Title Defect Amount will be the amount required to fully discharge such Encumbrance; and

(iv) if the Title Defect results from any matter not described in subsection (i) through (iii) above, the Title Defect Amount will be an amount equal to the difference between the value of the Title Defect Property with such Title Defect and the value of such Title Defect Property without such Title Defect (taking into account the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property). A Title Defect Amount may not exceed the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property;

provided, that notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that (1) the values on Exhibit C have, in certain cases, been allocated by depth, with each Lease having an Allocated Value attributable to “Deep Rights” and a separate Allocated Value attributable to “Shallow Rights,” and (2) that additional value has been allocated to the Fee Properties, as specified on Exhibit C, and that the Parties shall utilize the Allocated Value attributable to the appropriate depths and attributable to the Fee Properties, as applicable, when determining the Title Defect Amount. For purposes of this Agreement and Exhibit C, (x) “Shallow Rights” shall mean the rights in all depths from the surface down to the top of the Onondaga limestone formation and (y) “Deep Rights” shall mean the rights in all depths below the top of the Onondaga limestone formation.

(b) In the event that a Net Revenue Interest in a Subject Well is greater than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Exhibit C with respect thereto and the corresponding Working Interest remains the same, Sellers will be entitled to a “Title Defect Credit”; provided that Title Defect Credits shall only be applied to offset and reduce the amount of any Title Defects and shall in no event be applied to increase the Base Purchase Price. Such Title Defect Credit will be an amount equal to the Allocated Value for the Subject Well multiplied by the percentage increase in such Subject Well’s Net Revenue Interest.

(c) The Environmental Defect Amount with respect to an Environmental Defect Property will be determined by taking into consideration, the portion of the Environmental Defect Property subject to such Environmental Defect, and the decrease in value of such Environmental Defect Property resulting from such Environmental Defect, the amount of the civil penalty or fine assessed (or reasonably likely to be assessed) for such violation where the Environmental Defect is a violation of Environmental Law, and the cost to cure or otherwise Remediate the Environmental Defect on such Environmental Defect Property, and any other Losses Buyer may reasonably be expected to incur as applicable.

7. Procedures for Title Defects and Environmental Defects.

(a) If Sellers and Buyer agree that a Title Defect or Environmental Defect exists and to the amount of the Title Defect Amount or Environmental Defect Amount attributable thereto, and if prior to the Closing Date, Sellers have been unable to cure such Title Defect or Environmental Defect (and there is no dispute as to whether or not it has been cured), then (i) if the Environmental Defect Amount is more than half of the Allocated Value of the Environmental Defect Property, Sellers may elect to retain such Environmental Defect Property and the Purchase Price will be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property as applicable (or if no Allocated Value, then the Allocated Value derived from the associated Asset with an Allocated Value); provided, however, that, if Sellers elect to retain such Environmental Defect Property pursuant to this clause (i), Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion, promptly following the receipt of notice of such election by Sellers, to reduce the applicable Environmental Defect Amount in respect of such Environmental Defect Property with the effect that such Environmental Defect Amount would be half or less than half of the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property, and such Environmental Defect Property would not be retained by Sellers and would be subject to clause (ii) immediately below; or (ii) if (A) in the case of Environmental Defect either the Environmental Defect Property is not retained pursuant to subsection (i) above or the Environmental Defect Amount is half or less than half of the Allocated Value of the Environmental Defect Property or (B) in the case of a Title Defect, Sellers shall transfer such Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property to Buyer and the Base Purchase Price will be reduced by the Title Defect Amount or Environmental Defect Amount (as applicable) with respect to such Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property, as applicable (taking into account the results of any cures made by or on behalf of Sellers with respect to such Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property; provided, that with respect to any Environmental Defect, Buyer shall have the right to elect to have Sellers retain such Environmental Defect Property and the Base Purchase Price will be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property (or if no Allocated Value, then the Allocated Value derived from the associated Asset with an Allocated Value). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Sellers shall be required to act unanimously regarding the election to retain any Environmental Defect Property pursuant to this Section 7(a).

(b) If, prior to the Closing, Sellers and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement as to whether a Title Defect or Environmental Defect exists or, if it does exist, whether it has been cured or the amount of the Title Defect Amount, or Environmental Defect Amount attributable to such Title Defect or Environmental Defect (as applicable) or as to whether a Title Defect Credit exists, then dispute resolution procedures may be initiated by Sellers or Buyer under Section 8 promptly following the inability to reach an agreement.

(c) Any Asset for which there is a dispute as to whether a Title Defect, Title Defect Credit, or Environmental Defect exists or, if a Title Defect or Environmental Defect exists, there is a dispute as to the Title Defect Amount or Environmental Defect Amount at Closing, such Asset shall be retained by Sellers and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by the Allocated Value therefor (or, if no Allocated Value then the Allocated Value derived from the associated Asset with an Allocated Value). Any Asset retained by Sellers in accordance with Section 7(c) shall be operated by Sellers in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 5.1 and the Interim Period shall be deemed to be extended until any such dispute is finally resolved.

8. Dispute Resolution.

(a) Sellers and Buyer shall attempt to agree on all Title Defects, Title Defect Amounts, and Title Defect Credits prior to Closing. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on any such matters by Closing, then all such matters shall be exclusively and finally resolved pursuant to this Section 8(a). Such matters shall be resolved by a single arbitrator, who shall be a title attorney with at least ten (10) years’ experience in oil and gas titles involving properties in the West Virginia portion of the Marcellus Shale Area, as selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers within fifteen (15) days after Closing and absent such agreement, by the Houston, Texas Office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Title Defect Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 8(a). The Title Defect Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon the parties, without right of appeal. In making his or her determination, the Title Defect Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Section 8(a) and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Title Defect Arbitrator are necessary to make a proper determination. The Title Defect Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Title Defects, Title Defect Amounts or Title Defect Credits submitted by either Buyer or a Seller and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party with respect to any matter, but shall award to the prevailing party its arbitration costs and attorneys’ fees. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other, shall each bill one-half (1/2) of the cost and expense of the Title Defect Arbitrator. Nothing herein shall operate to cause Closing to be delayed on account of any disputed Title Defect, Title Defect Amount or Title Defect Credit or arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 8(a) and, to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Sellers and Buyer as of Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted therefor at Closing in accordance with Section 7(c), and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 10.

(b) The Sellers and Buyer shall attempt to agree on all Environmental Defects and Environmental Defect Amounts prior to Closing. If the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree as to any such matters by Closing, such matters shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 8(b) as follows:

(i) This Section 8(b)(i) shall apply to any disagreement between Sellers and Buyers over the Environmental Defect Amount with respect to any Environmental Defect Property that is specifically and exclusively a disagreement about the costs to perform Remediation of such Environmental Defect Property. In case of any such disagreement, each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall, within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, obtain in good faith one (1) proposal each from an expert in environmental remediation who is reasonably qualified to evaluate the estimated costs of the particular Remediation in question, and deliver such proposal to the other Party. Upon delivery of such proposals, the cost of the particular Remediation in

 

A-6


question shall be deemed to be the average of the total costs set forth in each of the two (2) proposals. Such determination of such cost of Remediation (and the corresponding Environmental Defect Amount) shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal.

(ii) Any matters subject to this Section 8(b) that are not resolved under Section 8(b)(i) shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 8(b)(ii). Such matters shall be resolved by a single arbitrator, who shall be an environmental attorney with at least ten (10) years’ experience in environmental matters involving oil and gas producing properties in the West Virginia portion of the Marcellus Shale, as selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date and absent such agreement by the Houston, Texas Office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Environmental Defect Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Section 8(b). The Environmental Defect Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon the Parties, without right of appeal. In making his or her determination, the Environmental Defect Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Section 8(b) and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Environmental Defect Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a proper determination. The Environmental Defect Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Environmental Defects and/or Environmental Defect Amounts submitted by either the Sellers or Buyer and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party with respect to any matter, but shall award to the prevailing party its arbitration costs and attorneys’ fees.

Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall operate to cause Closing to be delayed on account of any arbitration or other activity conducted pursuant to this Section 8(b) and to the extent any adjustments are not agreed upon by the Sellers and Buyer as of Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted therefor at Closing in accordance with Section 7(c), and subsequent adjustments to the Purchase Price, if any, will be made pursuant to Section 10, subject to Buyer’s right to require Sellers to retain any Environmental Defect Property in accordance with Section 8(c) below.

(c) After any claim for a Title Defect pursuant to Section 8(a) or for an Environmental Defect pursuant to Section 8(b) has been resolved, the Title Defect Properties and Environmental Defect Properties will be transferred to Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to elect to have Sellers retain any such Environmental Defect Property if the Environmental Defect Value is in excess of one-half of the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property and the Base Purchase Price will be reduced by the Allocated Value of such Environmental Defect Property (or if no Allocated Value, then the Allocated Value derived from the associated Asset with an Allocated Value).

9. Limitations of Title Defect Amounts, and Environmental Defect Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (except as provided in Section 5.4(b) of this Agreement and subject to the provisos of this Section 9 of this Exhibit A), (a) there will be no

 

A-7


reduction of the Purchase Price for any Title Defect or Environmental Defect with a Title Defect Value or an Environmental Defect Value equal to or less than the Individual Title Defect Threshold applicable to such Title Defect or Environmental Defect, (b) there will be no reduction of the Base Purchase Price and no amount owing by Sellers (unless in each case Sellers elect to retain the Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property as set forth in Section 7(c)) in accordance with this Exhibit A unless and until the Title Defect Amounts (reduced by any Title Defect Credits) and the Environmental Defect Amounts, (excluding any Title Defects or Environmental Defects excluded pursuant to clause (a) above) exceeds two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Defect Basket”), in which event the Sellers will be liable for all Title Defect Amounts, Environmental Defect Amounts not excluded under (a) above, only to the extent they exceed the Defect Basket; provided, however, that, pursuant to Section 9.1(d) of the Agreement, Buyer or Sellers may terminate this Agreement as described in Section 9.1(d); and provided further, that neither the Individual Title Defect Threshold nor the Defect Basket shall apply with respect to any Title Defect raised related to the Identified Title Matter.

10. Post-Closing Determinations. If, (i) within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing, Sellers have cured the Title Defect or Environmental Defect affecting any Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property retained by Sellers pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Exhibit A, and Buyer agrees that such Title Defect or Environmental Defect has been cured or (ii) after the Closing, the Title Defect Amount, Title Defect Credit, or Environmental Defect Amount of any Title Defect Property, or Environmental Defect Property retained pursuant to Section 7(c) of this Exhibit A has been determined pursuant to Section 8 of this Exhibit A, then, on the day that is ten (10) days after the occurrence of either (i) or (ii) above, (x) Sellers shall transfer to Buyer the Title Defect Property or Environmental Defect Property retained pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(c) an subject to the provisions of Section 9 above, and (y) Buyer shall pay to Sellers the Allocated Value (or associated Allocated Value, as applicable) for such affected Asset, (in each case) based on the applicable determination pursuant to Section 8 for the applicable Title Defect, Title Defect Credit, and/or Environmental Defect (subject to Section 9). Any such supplemental closing shall be subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of this Agreement, with any matters required to be performed on the Closing Date being deemed to refer to the date of the supplemental closing.

Exhibit E

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March    , 2015 (the Effective Date”), by and among Republic Energy Operating, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Sellers under the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), and any successors appointed pursuant to the terms thereof (such entity or any such successor, in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”), TH Exploration, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Buyer” and, together with the Seller Representative, the “Parties”, and each individually referred to as a “Party”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as escrow agent hereunder (the “Escrow Agent”).

RECITALS

This Agreement is being entered into in reference to the following facts:

(a) Buyer and Sellers have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated March 27, 2015, pursuant to which the Sellers have agreed to sell to Buyer certain oil and gas leases, mineral interests and wells as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Assets”). The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, has not received and will not be responsible for the Purchase Agreement, all references in this Agreement to the Purchase Agreement are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement, such definitions being incorporated by reference herein; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge the Escrow Agent will not be responsible to determine or to make inquiry into any term, capitalized, or otherwise, not defined herein.

(b) To facilitate the sale of the Assets, Buyer has agreed to (i) deposit with the Escrow Agent a deposit in the amount of $8,854,891.00 (such amount, the “Deposit”) on or within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) deposit with the Escrow Agent a Closing Escrow Payment equal to the sum (a) of 10% of the Purchase Price funded at Closing less the Deposit, plus (b) $1,000,000 associated with the Anderson Site Matter, plus (c) $1,000,000 associated with the Dewhurst Site Matter, plus (d) $250,000 associated with the Hart Site Matter; plus (e) $250,000 associated with the Blackshere Site Matter, plus (f) $568,956.50 (such amount, the “Robinson Deposit” and such amounts, collectively, the “Closing Escrow Payment”) on the date of the Closing of the sale of the Assets (the “Closing Date”), in each case by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Purchase Agreement.

(c) Buyer and the Seller Representative desire that the Escrow Agent act as escrow agent of those funds. The Escrow Agent is willing to act in that capacity subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

(d) The Sellers have appointed Seller Representative as the representative to act on behalf of Sellers in connection with this Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and the Escrow Agent, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent hereby agree as follows.

ARTICLE 1 - ESCROW ACCOUNT & ESCROW DEPOSIT

1.1 Appointment of Escrow Agent. Buyer and Seller Representative hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

1.2 Closing Date of Sale of Assets. Buyer and the Seller Representative agree to notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the date of the Closing Date and the time of the Closing on such Closing Date, as well as the change of beneficiary for the purposes of tax reporting in accordance with Section 2.3(a), at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Closing Date.

1.3 Escrow Account.

(a) Immediately following the Escrow Agent’s execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall establish the escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) for the purpose of receiving, holding and investing the Escrow Funds, as hereinafter defined. Moneys on deposit in the Escrow Account shall be invested in interest bearing instruments as provided below.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, the Escrow Funds and any investment income thereon shall be invested by the Escrow Agent as set forth in Exhibit A hereto or as set forth in any subsequent written instructions signed by Buyer and Seller Representative. Such written instructions, if any, referred to in the foregoing sentence shall specify the type and identity of the investments to be purchased and/or sold.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Funds. The Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates may receive compensation with respect to any investment directed hereunder.

(d) Investments will be made promptly following the availability of such funds to the Escrow Agent taking into consideration the regulations and requirements (including investment cut-off times) of the Federal Reserve wire system, any investment provider and the Escrow Agent.

1.4 Escrow Deposits.

(a) Buyer shall: (i) within two Business Days of the Effective Date, deposit in immediately available funds with the Escrow Agent the Deposit; and (ii) on the Closing Date, deposit in immediately available funds with the Escrow Agent the Closing Escrow Payment (the Deposit and the Closing Escrow Payment together with additional amounts, if any, that may be added thereto pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, with all interest earned thereon

 

2


while in the custody of the Escrow Agent and as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the procedures specified herein and in the Purchase Agreement, the “Escrow Funds”). Funds in the form of cash or its equivalent are deemed deposited into the Escrow Account when delivered to the Escrow Agent. Any funds deposited in the form of a check, draft or similar instrument are deemed deposited when the collectability thereof has been confirmed. All such checks and similar instruments shall be made payable to “Wells Fargo, National Association, as Escrow Agent for TH Exploration Escrow”. Receipt, investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Funds shall be confirmed by the Escrow Agent as soon as reasonably practicable by account statement, and any discrepancies in any such account statement shall be noted by Buyer or Seller Representative to the Escrow Agent within 30 calendar days after receipt thereof. Failure to inform the Escrow Agent in writing of any discrepancies in any such account statement within said 30-day period shall conclusively be deemed confirmation of such account statement in its entirety.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall deposit and hold all Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account at all times until such funds are disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon request from time to time by Buyer or Seller Representative, the Escrow Agent shall notify Buyer and Seller Representative of the amount of the Escrow Funds then held in the Escrow Account.

ARTICLE 2 - ESCROW ACCOUNT PAYMENT

2.1 Escrow Account Payment Procedures. From and after the Effective Date, the Escrow Funds, if any, shall be held and disbursed out of the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent as follows:

(a) The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds deposited in the Escrow Account in safekeeping and disburse the same or any portion thereof only in accordance with and upon: (i) the written instruction of Buyer and Seller Representative setting forth the amount and the Party to whom such payment is to be made from the Escrow Account (“Joint Instructions”), or (ii) in accordance with and upon a final written non-appealable instruction, order or judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction setting forth the amount of the Escrow Funds to be paid out of the Escrow Account, and the Party to whom such funds shall be paid (a “Court Direction”). Any court order or judgment shall be accompanied by a certificate of the presenting party to the effect that such order or judgment is final and non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction, upon which certificate the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely without further investigation.

(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any investments comprising all or part of the Escrow Account and/or Escrow Funds as it deems necessary to make any payments, disbursements or distributions required under this Agreement and/or by any Joint Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

 

3


(c) Upon receipt of Joint Instructions or a Court Direction directing the Escrow Agent to pay the remainder of the Escrow Funds contained in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms and provisions of such Joint Instructions or Court Direction and to close the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Funds (including any income, interest or other amounts received on the Escrow Funds and not yet disbursed) in accordance therewith and close the Escrow Account (the date upon which all Escrow Funds have been so disbursed and the Escrow Account has been closed shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Escrow Termination Date”).

(d) Any Joint Instructions may instruct the Escrow Agent to release all or any portion of the remainder of the Escrow Funds contained in the Escrow Account. Any Joint Instructions shall include instructions to the Escrow Agent regarding the disbursement of any interest or other amounts received on the Escrow Funds and not yet disbursed (to the extent any interest is to be disbursed pursuant to such Joint Instructions), including the Party or Parties to whom such disbursements of interest or other amounts should be paid and the applicable amounts, and any such Joint Instructions governing the disbursement of interest or other amounts shall comply in all respects with, and be subject to, Section 2.1(f) hereof.

(e) When Joint Instructions are required, such instructions may be given by separate instruments of a similar tenor. Either Buyer or Seller Representative may hereafter act through an agent or attorney in fact only if written evidence of authority in form and substance satisfactory to the Escrow Agent is furnished to the Escrow Agent.

(f) From the Effective Date until the Closing Date, all interest, distributions, dividends and other income earned on the Escrow Funds shall be due, owing and payable to Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, all interest, distributions, dividends and other income earned on the Escrow Funds shall be due, owing and payable to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers). At Closing, without any further action on the part of any Party hereto, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Buyer (or such amount shall be netted against the Closing Escrow Payment payable by Buyer to the Escrow Agent on such date) an amount equal to the interest, distributions, dividends and other income earned on the Escrow Funds and not yet disbursed. From time to time (but no more often than quarterly), Buyer and Seller Representative may execute Joint Instructions to instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the applicable Party (with the applicable Party determined by this Section 2.1(f)) any accrued interest, distributions, dividends and other income earned on the Escrow Funds as of such time and not yet disbursed.

(g) All disbursements to Buyer or Seller Representative of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds (or disbursements to Buyer or the Seller Representative, as applicable, of any income, interest or other amounts received on the Escrow Funds) deposited into the Escrow Account, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by Buyer and Seller Representative as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto for all purposes. The wiring instructions set forth in Schedule I may be revised by delivering written notice to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.1 hereof. The Escrow Agent agrees that following receipt of Joint

 

4


Instructions or Court Direction directing the Escrow Agent to disburse all or any portion of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall comply therewith and wire such funds pursuant to the wiring instructions provided by the undersigned as contained in Schedule I. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary but subject to Section 2.1(f) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall be obligated to disburse deposited funds no earlier than the third Business Day (as hereinafter defined) following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of Joint Instructions or Court Direction, as the case may be. If the Party to whom such funds are to be paid has not provided the Escrow Agent with wiring instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall disburse the funds in compliance with the terms of such Joint Instructions along with detailed payment instructions or Court Direction along with detailed payment instructions from the Party to whom Escrow Funds will be released. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth above is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

2.2 Security Procedure For Funds Transfers. The Escrow Agent shall confirm each Joint Instructions received in the name of a Party by means of the security procedure selected by such Party and communicated to the Escrow Agent through a signed certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 attached hereto, which upon receipt by the Escrow Agent shall become a part of this Agreement. Once delivered to the Escrow Agent, Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 may be revised or rescinded only by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party. Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such period of time as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If a revised Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 or a rescission of an existing Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2 is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an entity that is a successor-in-interest to such Party, such document shall be accompanied by additional documentation satisfactory to the Escrow Agent showing that such entity has succeeded to the rights and responsibilities of the Party under this Agreement. The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such Party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay.

2.3 Income Tax Allocation and Reporting.

(a) The Parties and the Escrow Agent agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest and other income from investment of the Escrow Funds shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by Seller Representative, to the extent such interest accrued on or after the Closing Date, or by Buyer, to the extent such interest accrued prior to the Closing Date, as applicable, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar year. In the event the Escrow Agent does not receive written instructions in accordance with Section 1.2, for tax reporting purposes all interest and other income from investment of the Escrow Funds shall continue to be reported as having been earned by the Buyer.

(b) Prior to the date hereof, the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request. The Parties understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Funds.

 

5


(c) To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Funds. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Funds and the investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this Section 2.3(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 4.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

2.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) sixty (60) months following the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), provided that (x) during the Initial Term the Parties shall deliver Joint Instructions to the Escrow Agent to disperse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the Joint Instructions and (y) either Buyer or Seller Representative shall have the right to extend the Initial Term by delivery to the Escrow Agent and the other Party written notice thereof; or (ii) without further action of any Party, upon the Escrow Termination Date. Section 2.3(c), Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 - DUTIES OF THE ESCROW AGENT

3.1 Scope of Responsibility. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is obligated only to perform the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. Under no circumstance will the Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any Party or any other person under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not be responsible or liable for the failure of any Party to perform in accordance with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Agreement, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Escrow Agent; and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such agreement, instrument, or document. References in this Agreement to any other agreement, instrument, or document are for the convenience of the Parties, and the Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto. This Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred or implied from the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement.

3.2 Attorneys and Agents. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the advice of counsel or other professionals retained or consulted by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may perform any and all of its duties through its agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians, and/or nominees.

 

6


3.3 Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the direction or consent of the Parties or their respective agents, representatives, successors, or assigns. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, consent, direction, requisition, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, without further inquiry into the person’s or persons’ authority. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2, which contain authorized signer designations in Part I thereof.

3.4 Right Not Duty Undertaken. The permissive rights of the Escrow Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as duties.

3.5 No Financial Obligation. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or potential financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4 - PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE ESCROW AGENT

4.1 Indemnification. The Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses or other professional fees and expenses which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent, arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates, unless such loss, liability, cost, damage or expense shall have been finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent. The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

4.2 Limitation of Liability. THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

4.3 Resignation or Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign by furnishing written notice of its resignation to the Parties, and the Parties may remove the Escrow Agent by furnishing to the Escrow Agent a joint written notice of its removal along with payment of all fees and expenses to which the Escrow Agent is entitled through the date of removal. Such resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall be effective thirty (30) days after the delivery of

 

7


such notice or upon the earlier appointment of a successor, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to safely keep the Escrow Funds and to deliver the same to a successor escrow agent as shall be appointed by the Parties, as evidenced by a joint written notice filed with the Escrow Agent or in accordance with a court order. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following the delivery of such notice of resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Parties.

4.4 Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C, which compensation shall be paid (i) 50% by Buyer and (ii) 50% by Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers). The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this Agreement at the request of the Parties, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any such delay, controversy, litigation or event. If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Funds with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Funds.

4.5 Disagreements. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Funds until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Funds, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Funds, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Funds and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any such agreement, court order, or arbitration decision without further question, inquiry, or consent.

Agency and Custody Account Direction

For Cash Balances

Wells Fargo Money Market Deposit Accounts

Direction to use the following Wells Fargo Money Market Deposit Accounts for Cash Balances for the escrow account or accounts (the “Account”) established under the Escrow Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

You are hereby directed to deposit, as indicated below, or as I shall direct further in writing from time to time, all cash in the Account in the following money market deposit account of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association:

Wells Fargo Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA)

I understand that amounts on deposit in the MMDA are insured, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), in the basic FDIC insurance amount of $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. This includes principal and accrued interest up to a total of $250,000.

I acknowledge that I have full power to direct investments of the Account.

I understand that I may change this direction at any time and that it shall continue in effect until revoked or modified by me by written notice to you.

EXHIBIT B-1

Buyer certifies that the names, titles, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and specimen signatures set forth in Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1 identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of Buyer, and that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 is the security procedure selected by Buyer for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Escrow Agent is that of Buyer.

Buyer has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent. By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-1, Buyer acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by Buyer.

NOTICE: The security procedure selected by Buyer will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by Buyer. If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution. Therefore, it is important that Buyer take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.

(e) “Insured Claimant”: An Insured claiming loss or damage.

The term “Land” does not include any property beyond the lines of the area described in Schedule A, nor any right, title, interest, estate, or easement in abutting streets, roads, avenues, alleys, lanes, ways, or waterways, but this does not modify or limit the extent that a right of access to and from the Land is insured by this policy.

(h) “Mortgage”: Mortgage, deed of trust, trust deed, or other security instrument, including one evidenced by electronic means authorized by law.

(i) “Public Records”: Records established under state statutes at Date of Policy for the purpose of imparting constructive notice of matters relating to real property to purchasers for value and without Knowledge.

2. CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE

The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in favor of an Insured, but only so long as the Insured retains an estate or interest in the Land, or holds an obligation secured by a purchase money Mortgage given by a purchaser from the Insured, or only so long as the Insured shall have liability by reason of warranties in any transfer or conveyance of the Title. This policy shall not continue in force in favor of any purchaser from the Insured of either (i) an estate or interest in the Land, or (ii) an obligation secured by a purchase money Mortgage given to the Insured.

If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the Insured Claimant to provide prompt notice, the Company’s liability to the Insured Claimant under the policy shall be reduced to the extent of the prejudice.

 

4. PROOF OF LOSS

In the event the Company is unable to determine the amount of loss or damage, the Company may, at its option, require as a condition of payment that the Insured Claimant furnish a signed proof of loss.
