2.3          Adjusted Cash Consideration.

(a)           The Cash Consideration shall be adjusted as follows (the adjusted amount being the “Adjusted Cash Consideration”):

(i)            increased by an amount, if greater than zero dollars ($0.00), equal to (A) the actual amount of payments received by VEX from the Contributor with respect to Actual Shipments (as such term is defined in the TSA) made by the Contributor from August 1, 2014 until the Effective Time, subtracted from (B) the Adjusted TSA Minimum Annual Payment; and

(ii)           (A) decreased by the amount by which the Target Interim Capital Expenditures exceeds the actual amount of capital expenditures for ongoing projects made by the Contributor and its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time in furtherance of completion of the projects listed on Schedule 2.3(a)(ii) (the “Actual Capital Expenditures”) or (B) increased by the amount by which the Actual Capital Expenditures exceeds the Target Interim Capital Expenditures.

At least two business days prior to the Closing, the Contributor shall prepare and deliver to the Acquirer a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Contributor’s estimated calculation of the Adjusted Cash Consideration.

(b)           On or about August 31, 2015, the Contributor shall prepare and deliver to the Acquirer a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth the Contributor’s final calculation of the Adjusted Cash Consideration. The Contributor shall thereafter provide to the Acquirer such additional data and information as Acquirer may reasonably request to verify the amounts reflected on the Post-Closing Statement (and reasonable access to the Contributor’s personnel, including internal accountants, which access shall not unreasonably disrupt the Contributor’s day-to-day operations) to permit the Acquirer to perform or cause to be performed an audit. As soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Acquirer Review Period”) hereunder, the Acquirer shall deliver to the Contributor a written report (an “Adjustment Notice”) containing any changes the

10

Acquirer proposes to be made in the Post-Closing Statement. The Acquirer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to all items in the Post-Closing Statement, other than such matters that are proposed to be changed in any Adjustment Notice (it being understood that if the Acquirer does not deliver to the Contributor an Adjustment Notice during the Acquirer Review Period, then the Acquirer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to all items in the Post-Closing Statement and the Adjusted Cash Consideration as set forth therein shall be considered conclusive and binding on the Parties). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the final Adjusted Cash Consideration no later than thirty (30) days after delivery of any Adjustment Notice in accordance with the foregoing (such period, the “Negotiation Period”). If an Adjustment Notice is delivered in accordance with the foregoing and the final Adjusted Cash Consideration is:

(i)            mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties during the Negotiation Period, the final Adjusted Cash Consideration set forth in the Post-Closing Statement shall be considered conclusive and binding on the Parties; or

(ii)           not mutually agreed upon by the Contributor and the Acquirer during the Negotiation Period, then the Parties shall mutually select an internationally recognized, independent accounting firm (the “Accountant”) to resolve any disagreements. Should the Parties fail to agree on the Accountant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period or should such Accountant fail or refuse to agree to serve as the Accountant within ten (10) days after written request from the Parties to serve, and should the Parties fail to agree in writing on a replacement Accountant within five (5) days after the end of that ten (10) day period, or should no replacement Accountant agree to serve within fifteen (15) days after the original written request pursuant to this sentence, the Accountant shall be appointed by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 10.4. The Accountant shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after its selection, based solely on (x) written submissions provided to the Accountant by the Parties within ten (10) days following the Accountant’s selection (and without independent investigation on the part of the Accountant) and (y) the terms and provisions of this Agreement, whether and to what extent (if any) the Contributor’s Post-Closing Statement requires adjustment. In resolving any disputed item, the Accountant shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and shall resolve only the items set forth in the Adjustment Notice that are still in dispute and may not assign a value to any item greater than the higher value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lower value for such item claimed by either Party. The Accountant may not award damages or penalties. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case to the Accountant, and one-half (1/2) of the costs and expenses of the Accountant incurred in resolving such disputed matters. The determination of the Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The date on which the final Adjusted Cash Consideration is finally determined in accordance with Section 2.3(b), if the Acquirer does not timely submit an Adjustment Notice, or Section 2.3(b)(i) or this Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Acquirer timely submits an Adjustment Notice, is referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(c)           Any difference between (i) the Cash Consideration and (ii) the final Adjusted Cash Consideration shall be paid by the owing Party to the owed Party within ten (10) days of the Determination Date.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Acquirer or its designated Affiliates, as applicable, from contesting in good faith any of the liabilities arising pursuant to this Section 2.4 with any third-party obligee.

2.5          Transaction Taxes.  All excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation, registration and similar Taxes arising directly and solely from or associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Taxes based on income (“Transaction Taxes”), shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Contributor and fifty percent (50%) by the Acquirer. The Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Tax Authority any Transaction Taxes that are required by Law to be collected and remitted. The Acquirer shall pay to the Contributor its share of any such Transaction Taxes within thirty (30) days of the Contributor’s written demand therefor, which written demand must include evidence satisfactory to the Acquirer that such Transaction Taxes have been duly filed and paid.

or make any material amendment to any employee compensation, benefit or incentive plans with respect to such individual other than in the ordinary course of business, as required by applicable Law, or to effect or permit the transfer of such individual as a Transferring Employee as contemplated pursuant to Section 5.11; or

(k)                                 agree, whether in writing or otherwise, to do any of the foregoing.

5.2                               Financial Statements.  The Contributor shall permit the Acquirer and its representatives to contact the Contributor’s accountants and employees, and shall cause such accountants and employees to discuss, cooperate and provide information reasonably requested by the Acquirer or its representatives, in order for the Acquirer to prepare audited and unaudited historical financial statements for the Business and pro forma financial statements of the Acquirer, in each case that meet the requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Contributor shall cause its accountants and employees to cooperate with the Acquirer with regard to responding to any comments from the Commission on the financial statements of the Business. The Acquirer shall be responsible for and shall pay for or reimburse the Contributor for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Contributor in connection with the preparation and audit of any such financial statements (including reasonable accountants’ fees). The obligations of the Contributor under this Section 5.2 shall survive for three (3) years after the Closing.

5.3                               Debt Financed Cash Consideration.

(a)                                 In connection with the Closing, the Acquirer shall borrow an amount equal to or exceeding forty percent (40%) of the Cash Consideration (the “Debt Financed Cash Consideration”) under indebtedness for which no partner of the Acquirer or any related Person bears the economic risk of loss as defined by Treasury Regulation section 1.752-2 and shall utilize the proceeds of such borrowing in a manner such that the proceeds of such borrowing are allocable to the distribution of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration to the Contributor as part of the payment of the Cash Consideration pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.707-5(b)(1) and Treasury Regulation section 1.163-8T (such borrowing, and any “refinancing” of such borrowing treated as the liability it refinances pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.707-5(c), the “Acquirer Debt”).

(b)                                 The Parties intend that the Debt Financed Cash Consideration paid to the Contributor shall qualify as a “debt-financed transfer,” a portion of which is not taken into account as part of a “disguised sale” (under Treasury Regulation sections 1.707-3 and 1.707-5(b)) of the Contributed Interests and the Contributed Assets.

(c)                                  For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Contributor and the Acquirer shall ensure (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to ensure) that the Acquirer Debt will not be less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Acquirer Debt outstanding immediately after the Closing.

(d)                                 The Parties shall act at all times in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, except with the prior written consent of the Contributor or as

25

otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.

5.4                               Access.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Contributor shall, upon reasonable advance notice by the Acquirer, (a) provide the Acquirer and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books and records relating to the Business, and (b) furnish to the Acquirer such documents and information in the possession or control of the Contributor or its Affiliates concerning the Business as the Acquirer from time to time may reasonably request, but only to the extent that the Contributor may comply with the covenants in clause (a) and (b) above without breaching any confidentiality obligation binding on the Contributor or its Affiliates. With respect to the Real Property, such access shall be subject to the rights of parties in possession and the terms of any instruments under which the Contributor uses or occupies such Real Property.

5.5                               Post-Closing Receivables and Payments.

(a)                                 Should the Contributor or any of its Subsidiaries receive any payments attributable to accounts receivable of the Business that relate to the operations of the Business after the Effective Time, then the Contributor shall or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such payments, forward such payments to the Acquirer.  Should the Acquirer or any of its Subsidiaries receive any payments attributable to accounts receivable of the Business that relate to the operations of the Business at or prior to the Effective Time, then the Acquirer shall or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such payments, forward such payments to the Contributor.

(b)                                 If any demand is made on the Contributor or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any invoice or other account payables incurred in connection with the operation of the Business after the Effective Time, then the Acquirer shall be responsible for the same.  If any demand is made on the Acquirer or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any invoice or other account payables incurred in connection with the operation of the Business at or prior to the Effective Time, then the Contributor shall be responsible for the same.

5.6                               Further Assurances.  On and after the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or appropriate to make effective the Transactions, including (i) the execution of any additional assignment or similar documents or instruments of transfer of any kind, (ii) without limiting the generality of Section 5.9, the obtaining of consents which may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions and (iii) the taking of all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from to time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, in order to effectuate the Transactions.

5.7                               NYSE Listing.  Prior to the Closing, the Acquirer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain approval for listing, subject to notice of issuance, of the New Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange.

26

5.8                               Tax Covenants.

(a)                                 The Parties agree that the Contributor shall bear the liability for any Taxes imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the operation of the Business or the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets for any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Parties further agree that the Acquirer shall bear the liability for any Taxes imposed on or incurred by or with respect to the operation of the Business or the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets for any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date.

(b)                                 The Parties agree that whenever it is necessary for purposes of this Section 5.8 to determine the amount of any Taxes for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date, the determination shall be made, in the case of property or ad valorem or franchise Taxes (which are measured by, or based solely upon capital, debt or a combination of capital and debt), by prorating such Taxes ratably on a per diem basis and, in the case of other Taxes, by assuming that such portion of the Straddle Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date constitutes a separate taxable period and by taking into account the actual taxable events occurring during such period (except that exemptions, allowances and deductions for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned to the period prior to and including the Closing Date ratably on a per diem basis).

(c)                                  With respect to any Tax Return attributable to a Straddle Period that is required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to VEX (or any of its Subsidiaries), the Business or the Contributed Assets (excluding any Tax Return that is filed on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis with any Devon Entity other than VEX or any of its Subsidiaries), the Acquirer shall cause such Tax Return to be prepared, cause to be included in such Tax Return all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit required to be included therein, furnish a copy of such Tax Return to the Contributor, and cause such Tax Return to be filed timely with the appropriate Tax Authority. The Acquirer shall be responsible for the timely payment of all Taxes due from VEX or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the period covered by such Tax Return, but shall have a right to recover from the Contributor the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.8(a).

(d)                                 The Parties shall cooperate fully, and cause their Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, (i) to accomplish the apportionment of income described pursuant to this Section 5.8, (ii) to respond to requests for the provision of any information or documentation within the knowledge or possession of such Party as reasonably necessary to facilitate compliance with financial reporting obligations arising under FASB Statement No. 109 (including compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48), and (iii) in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include access to, the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any Tax Return or Tax Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Acquirer and the Contributor will use their respective commercially

27

reasonable efforts to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Contributed Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the later of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods (including any extensions thereof), and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority.  The Acquirer and the Contributor each agree, upon request, to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)                                  The Parties intend that for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) the VEX Contribution shall be treated as a contribution by the Contributor to the Acquirer pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code, subject to Section 707 of the Code, and (ii) the payment of the Debt Financed Cash Consideration shall qualify as a “debt-financed transfer” under Section 1.707-5(b) of the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement. Any Cash Consideration in excess of the amount treated as a “debt-financed transfer” shall be treated (i) as a reimbursement of the Contributor’s preformation expenditures within the meaning of Treasury Regulation sections 1.707-4(d) to the greatest extent applicable, and (ii) in a transaction subject to treatment under Section 707(a) of the Code, and its implementing Treasury Regulations, as in part a sale, and in part a contribution, by the Contributor of the VEX Contribution. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns and otherwise act at all times in a manner consistent with this intended treatment of the VEX Contribution, the Cash Consideration, and the Acquirer Debt, including disclosing the distribution of the Cash Consideration in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.707-3(c)(2).

5.9                               Consents.

(a)                                 The Contributor shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Consents listed on Schedule 3.4, and, upon receipt of such Consents, shall, if necessary, execute an assignment and assumption agreement with customary terms.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 6.1(c), if and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment of any Contributed Asset (including any Contract) as part of the contribution of the Contributed Assets as contemplated by Section 2.1 would be a violation of applicable Law, or require any Consent that has not been obtained or made by the Closing, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment of that Contributed Asset shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Consents have been obtained or made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Contributed Assets shall continue to constitute Contributed Assets for all other purposes of this Agreement.

(c)                                  If any transfer or assignment of any Contributed Asset intended to be transferred or assigned hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Closing, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 5.9(b) or for any other reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the Contributor or its applicable Subsidiary retaining such Contributed Asset shall thereafter hold such Contributed Asset for the use, benefit and/or burden of the

28

Acquirer (at the expense of the Contributor and for the account of the Acquirer) until such time as such transfer or assignment can be completed.  In addition, the Contributor or its applicable Subsidiary shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Contributed Asset in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Acquirer in order to place the Acquirer in a substantially similar position as if such Contributed Asset had been transferred or assigned as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Contributed Asset, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Contributed Asset, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Acquirer.

5.10                        Permits.  To the extent that any Material VEX Permit is nontransferable to the Acquirer or its designated Affiliate, and must be reissued thereto, the Contributor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable best efforts to assist the Acquirer and its Affiliates in having such Material VEX Permits reissued.

5.11                        Transferring Employees and Benefits.

(a)                                 On the Closing Date, the Contributor shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make available for hiring by Acquirer or its Affiliates all employees enumerated on Schedule 5.11(a) (each such employee a “Transferring Employee”) and the Acquirer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of at will employment within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date to each such Transferring Employee with such employment to be effective as of the Closing Date (to the extent such offers of employment are accepted).  Each employment offer shall be for a position that has duties that are materially consistent with the position held by such Transferring Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and will be made on terms and conditions sufficient to avoid statutory, contractual, common law or other severance obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Transferring Employee becomes entitled to payments under any long-term disability plan or short-term disability plan of the Contributor or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Disability Employee”), the parties shall cooperate to delay such Disability Employee’s transfer to Acquirer or its Affiliates until such time that he or she returns to bona fide service with the Contributor or an Affiliate thereof, it being understood that neither the Acquirer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to hire any Disability Employee who does not return to bona fide service with the Contributor or an Affiliate thereof prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b)                                 The Acquirer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferring Employee (i) for a period of twelve (12) months after any such Transferring Employee commences employment with the Acquirer or its Affiliate pursuant to  Section 5.11(a), a base salary or wages and bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided by the Contributor or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) other employee benefits, plans, programs and arrangements that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees at the Acquirer or its Affiliates under its benefit plans and programs as in effect on the Closing Date. Each Transferring Employee shall, effective as of the date the Transferring Employee commences employment with an Acquirer or an Affiliate thereof under Section 5.11(a), cease to be employed by the Contributor and its Affiliates

29

and shall cease all active participation in and accrual of benefits under all compensatory and benefit plans and programs of the Contributor or its Affiliates, except as provided under the plan or agreement governing the applicable benefit.

(c)                                  The Acquirer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to:

(i)                                     bear any costs related to, and indemnify and hold harmless the Contributor Indemnitees from and against, any claims made by any Transferring Employee for any statutory, contractual or common law severance or separation benefits and other legally mandated payment obligations (including the employer portion of any employment taxes, together with any compensation payable during any mandatory termination notice period related thereto) (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”), in each case, arising out of or in connection with the failure of the Acquirer or its Affiliates to make offers of employment to any Transferring Employee in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law; and

(ii)                                  provide each Transferring Employee whose employment is terminated within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date with severance and other separation benefits substantially the same as the severance and other separation benefits, if any, available to such Transferring Employee by the Contributor or its Affiliates as in effect prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that and for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquirer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to provide any such severance and other separation benefits in respect of a termination of employment of any Transferring Employee whose termination would otherwise constitute a termination for cause under a reasonable interpretation of the terms of such severance or other separation benefit arrangements of Contributor or its Affiliates.

(d)                                 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Contributor and any of its respective Affiliates shall retain liability and responsibility for all employment and employee-benefit related liabilities, obligations, claims or losses that arise as a result of an event or events that relate to a Transferring Employee (or any dependent or beneficiary of any Transferring Employee) and that occur prior to the effective time of such Transferring Employee’s employment with the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, explicitly including, but not limited to, any and all payments due pursuant to letters between the Contributor or its Affiliates and any of the Transferring Employees dated June 9, 2014 regarding the Eagle Ford Field Retention Program, and any amendment thereto (the “Retention Letters”).  The Acquirer agrees to furnish the Contributor with information regarding the Transferred Employees’ continued employment with the Acquirer or its Affiliates through the payment dates enumerated in the Retention Letters so that the Contributor may determine whether any amounts are due pursuant to the Retention Letters and, if so, make timely payments directly to the applicable Transferred Employees.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Acquirer and its Affiliates shall retain liability and responsibility for all employment and employee-benefit related liabilities, obligations, claims or losses that arise as a result of an event or events that relate to the Transferring Employees (or any dependent or beneficiary of any Transferring Employee) and that occur on or after the effective time of such Transferring Employee’s employment with the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates.

(e)                                  The Acquirer and its Affiliates agree that from and after the Closing Date, the Transferring Employees shall be credited with their length of service with the Acquirer and its

30

Affiliates for purposes of vesting, eligibility and level of benefits under all employee benefit plans, equity or equity-based awards, bonus plans or agreements, or other programs and policies (other than employee pension plans subject to Title IV of ERISA) in which the Transferring Employees may participate in or be covered under from and after the Closing Date. Such pre- Closing Date service credit shall also be taken into account for purposes of benefit computation under all severance or unemployment compensation plans or policies that may apply to the Transferring Employees after the Closing Date.

(f)                                   The Contributor shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay an amount to each Transferring Employee as soon as practical, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date or such earlier date as required by applicable Law, equal to the value of the unused paid time off accrued as of the Closing Date by each Transferring Employee under the paid time off programs of the Contributor or its Affiliates. As such, no vacation days, sick leave, or paid time off accrued under the plans or programs of the Contributor or its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date shall be credited to the Transferring Employees under the paid time off plans of the Acquirer or its Affiliates. Accruals of paid time off under the programs of the Acquirer or its Affiliates shall begin following the Closing Date and professional service credit will be provided to both exempt and non-exempt Transferring Employees, as applicable, under such plans.

(g)                                  In the event that a Transferring Employee makes a voluntary election pursuant to Section 401(a)(31) of the Code to roll over his or her account balance in a tax qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Contributor or its Affiliates to a tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Acquirer or its Affiliates in which such Transferring Employee is eligible to participate, the Acquirer agrees, or shall cause its Affiliates to agree, to take commercially reasonable steps to cause such tax-qualified defined contribution plan to accept such rollover in cash, but only to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of such Acquirer plan.

(h)                                 To the extent that any Transferring Employee becomes covered under a health or welfare benefit plan or program of the Acquirer or its Affiliates, any restrictions on coverage for pre-existing conditions requirements for evidence of insurability or eligibility waiting periods under such plans will be waived for such Transferring Employee to the extent such waiver is permitted under the applicable plan. The Acquirer or its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to provide that each Transferring Employee who becomes covered under a group health plan (including a “group health plan” as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) of the Acquirer or its Affiliates shall receive credit for those sums paid in the current year under the corresponding plan of the Contributor or its Affiliates, as deductibles, coinsurance and co-payments, towards any deductible and/or out-of-pocket maximum that may apply under such plan of the Acquirer or its Affiliates.

(i)                                     The Acquirer and its Affiliates shall not, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) have any obligation to hire any individual who is not a Transferring Employee, or (ii) assume any “employee benefit plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (including, but not limited to, employee benefit plans, such as foreign plans, which are not subject to the provisions of ERISA) of the Contributor or its Affiliates, or any other personnel policy, equity-based plan (including, but not limited to, stock option plans, stock purchase plans, stock appreciation rights and phantom stock plans), bonus plan or arrangement,

31

incentive award plan or arrangement, vacation policy, severance pay plan or arrangements, change in control policies or agreements, deferred compensation agreement or arrangement, executive compensation or supplemental income arrangement, consulting agreement, employment agreement and each other employee benefit plan, agreement, arrangement, program, practice or understanding pursuant to which compensation or other benefits are provided to any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant (or to any dependent or beneficiary thereof) of the Contributor or its Affiliates, including any Transferring Employee, and the parties shall take all necessary actions to ensure that none of the foregoing shall otherwise occur.

(j)                                    The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the respective Parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 5.11, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee of the Contributor, the Acquirer, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.11, express or implied, shall be (i) deemed an amendment of any plan providing benefits to any employee of the Contributor, the Acquirer, or any of their respective Affiliates, or (ii) construed to prevent the Acquirer or its Affiliates from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any benefit plan that they may establish or maintain.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

8.1                               Indemnification of the Contributor and Other Parties.  From and after the Effective Time, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Acquirer shall indemnify and hold the Contributor, the Contributor’s Affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (in their capacities as such) (collectively, the “Contributor Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, expenses, obligations, fines, expenditures, claims and liabilities, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and expenses of investigation, defending and prosecuting Litigation (collectively, the “Damages”), suffered by the Contributor Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to:

35

(a)           any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(b)           any breach of any agreement or covenant in this Agreement or any Transaction Document on the part of the Acquirer or any of its Affiliates; or

(c)           any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party against the Contributor or any of its Affiliates that pertains to the operation of the Business or the ownership of the Contributed Interests and the Contributed Assets, except, in the case of this clause (c), to the extent arising out of the breach by the Contributor of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Contributor set forth in this Agreement.

8.2          Indemnification of the Acquirer and other Parties.  From and after the Effective Time, subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Contributor shall indemnify and hold the Acquirer and the Acquirer’s Affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (in their capacities as such) (collectively, the “Acquirer Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by the Acquirer Indemnitees as a result of, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to:

(a)           any breach of a representation or warranty of the Contributor or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any Transaction Document; or

(b)           any breach of any agreement or covenant in this Agreement or any Transaction Document on the part of the Contributor or any of its Affiliates.

8.3          Demands.  Each indemnified party agrees that promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, including receipt by it of notice of any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such third-party actions being collectively referred to herein as the “Indemnity Claim”), with respect to any matter as to which it claims to be entitled to indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement, it will give prompt notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, together with a statement of such information respecting any of the foregoing as it shall have.  Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement. The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to any Indemnity Claim to the extent the indemnified party failed to notify the indemnifying party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that failure to notify actually results in material prejudice or damage to the indemnifying party.

8.4          Right to Contest and Defend.

(a)           The indemnifying party shall be entitled, at its cost and expense, to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notice of the intention to so contest or defend shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim.  Any such contest or defense may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate.  Such contest or defense

36

shall be conducted and prosecuted diligently to a final conclusion or settled in accordance with this Section 8.4 by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect to legal proceedings relating to any Indemnity Claim for which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense or injunctive relief.  If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest or defend any such Indemnity Claim or elects to contest or defend such Indemnity Claim but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle such claim, the indemnified party may pursue such defense and the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge thereof that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party in its sole discretion.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an Order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party that the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages.  If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

8.5          Cooperation.  If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party agrees to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in contesting or defending against any Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party elects to contest or defend or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Indemnity Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person, and the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable expenses incurred by it in so cooperating.  At no cost or expense to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnified party and its counsel in contesting any Indemnity Claim.

8.6          Right to Participate.  The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all Persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such Persons.  The indemnifying party agrees to provide the same participation rights to the indemnified party and its counsel with respect to any Indemnity Claims that the indemnifying party elects to contest or defend in accordance with Section 8.4(a).

37

8.7          Reimbursements.  In calculating any amount to be paid by an indemnifying party by reason of the provisions of this Agreement, the amount shall be reduced by all reimbursements (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) received by the indemnified party related to the Damages (net of any costs of recovering such reimbursements).

8.8          Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)           To the extent the Acquirer Indemnitees or the Contributor Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations) or Section 8.1(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Acquirer Fundamental Representations), respectively, the Contributor or the Acquirer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for those Damages unless the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $1,800,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of any such excess; provided, however, that no indemnified party shall submit a claim for indemnification to the indemnifying party unless the Damages in respect of such claim (or series of related claims) exceeds $50,000 (each such claim (or series of related claims) with Damages that does not exceed $50,000, a “De Minimis Claim”); provided, further, that neither the Contributor nor the Acquirer shall be liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Fundamental Representations) or Section 8.1(a) (but not including Damages for breaches of Acquirer Fundamental Representations), respectively, that exceed, in the aggregate, $27,000,000 (the “Cap”).

(b)           Notwithstanding clause (a) above, to the extent the Acquirer Indemnitees or the Contributor Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Damages for claims arising from fraud or related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, in the case of the Acquirer Indemnitees, Damages for breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.12), the Contributor or the Acquirer, as the case may be, shall be fully liable for such Damages without regard to the Deductible, the Cap or the limitations in clause (a) with respect to De Minimis Claims.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Contributor shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and for breaches of Fundamental Representations without regard to the Deductible, the Cap or the limitations in clause (a) with respect to De Minimis Claims and the Acquirer shall be fully liable for Damages pursuant to Sections 8.1(b) or 8.1(c) and for breaches of Acquirer Fundamental Representations without regard to the Deductible, the Cap or the limitations in clause (a) with respect to De Minimis Claims.

(c)           Neither Party will be liable as an indemnitor, and each Party hereby waives claims against the other Party, under this Agreement for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages based on any theory of liability (including lost profits) suffered or incurred by the indemnified party or parties except to the extent resulting from Indemnity Claims.

8.9          Survival.

(a)           The liability of the Contributor for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Contributor set forth in Article III other than the Fundamental Representations and the matters set forth in Section 3.12 (Taxes) shall be limited to claims for which the Acquirer delivers written notice to the Contributor on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after

38

the Closing Date. The liability of the Contributor for Damages for claims related to or arising from Taxes (including, without limitation, Damages for claims for breach of covenants or breach of the representations or warranties in Section 3.12) shall be limited to claims for which the Acquirer delivers written notice to the Contributor on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for assessment of the applicable Tax.  The liability of the Contributor for claims pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or for breach of Fundamental Representations shall not be limited as to time and shall continue indefinitely.

(b)           The liability of the Acquirer for the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Acquirer set forth in Article IV shall be limited to claims for which the Contributor delivers written notice to the Acquirer on or before the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date.  The liability of the Acquirer for claims pursuant to Sections 8.1(b) or 8.1(c) and for breaches of Acquirer Fundamental Representations shall not be limited as to time and shall continue indefinitely.

(c)           Notwithstanding Sections 8.9(a) and 8.9(b), if the Acquirer or the Contributor, as applicable, delivers written notice in reasonable detail to the other party of a claim for indemnification on or prior to the applicable expiration date for such claim, such claim (and the indemnifying party’s liability with regard thereto) shall survive until finally resolved.

8.10        Sole Remedy.  After the Closing, no Party shall have liability under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except as is provided in Section 5.8 or this Article VIII (other than claims or causes of action arising from fraud, and other than claims for specific performance or claims arising under any Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement) (which claims shall be subject to the liability provisions of such Transaction Documents)).  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES CONTAINED HEREIN DO NOT DEPRIVE THE PARTIES OF MINIMUM ADEQUATE REMEDIES UNDER TEXAS UCC SECTION 2-719 OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW.

8.11        Express Negligence Rule.  THE INDEMNIFICATION AND ASSUMPTION PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED IN EVERY DETAIL, ARE INTENDED TO BE GIVEN FULL AND LITERAL EFFECT, AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DAMAGES IN QUESTION ARISE OR AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.  THE ACQUIRER AND THE CONTRIBUTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS STATEMENT COMPLIES WITH THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND CONSTITUTES CONSPICUOUS NOTICE.  NOTICE IN THIS CONSPICUOUS NOTICE IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE OR ALTER THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES, ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT.

8.12        Consideration Adjustment.  The Parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to this Article VIII as adjustments to the Cash Consideration for Tax purposes, except as

39

otherwise required by applicable Law following a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction.

8.13        Knowledge.  The Acquirer Indemnitees’ and the Contributor Indemnitees’  rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be diminished by any investigation performed or knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired, whether before or after the date of this Agreement, regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or the performance or non-performance of any covenant.

4.           General Provisions.

(a)           Binding Effect.  This Assignment will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b)           Governing Law.  This Assignment and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Assignment and the transactions or the rights, duties and the legal relations among the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive Laws of the State of Texas without reference to principles of conflicts of Law that would result in the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

(c)           Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Parties voluntarily and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Oklahoma and the federal courts of the United States of America in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma over any dispute between or among the Parties arising out of this Assignment, other than a dispute subject to Section 10.4 of the Contribution Agreement.

(e)           Waiver of Compliance.  Any failure of any Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Assignment may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by such Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

(f)            No Third Party Rights.  This Assignment shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and none of the provisions of this Assignment shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party, including any creditor of any Party or any of their Affiliates.  No such third party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Assignment or shall by reasons of any such provision make any claim in respect of any liability (or otherwise) against any other Party.
