For the avoidance of doubt, the revenues received by the KKR Parties or EXCO and costs and expenses paid by the KKR Parties or EXCO pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be without duplication of the finally determined Working Capital (which shall be governed by Section 6.7(g)). If, following determination of the Agreed Final Offer Statement (defined below), in each case with respect to the Transferred Offer Wells, (A) any Party receives revenues belonging to the other, then such Party shall pay such amount within 10 Business Days of receipt over to the proper Party, (B) any Party pays any monies for expenses that are the obligation of the other Party, then such other Party shall, within 10 Business Days after receipt of the applicable invoice and proof of payment of such invoice, reimburse the Party that paid such expenses, (C) a Party receives an invoice of an expense or obligation that is owed by the other Party, such Party receiving the invoice shall promptly forward such invoice to the Party obligated to pay the same, or (D) an invoice or other evidence of an obligation is received by a Party that is partially an obligation of both EXCO and the KKR Parties, then the Parties shall consult with each other, and each shall promptly pay its portion of such obligation to the obligee.
(e)On or before 90 days after the date on which the KKR Parties Transfer all of the KKR Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Offer Wells (subject to the KKR Right to Retain, if exercised) with respect to which the KKR Parties accepted or were deemed to have accepted a Subject Offer (as defined below) relating thereto (such interest in and to such Offer Wells, the “Transferred Offer Wells”), EXCO shall prepare and deliver to the KKR Parties, a final offer statement setting forth the final EXCO Offer, First Year Retained Well Offer or Retained Well Offer, as applicable, in each case with respect to the Transferred Offer Wells (such Offer, the “Subject Offer”) as of the last day of the Quarter immediately prior to the date of such Subject Offer that sets forth the actual value of the Working Capital for such Transferred Offer Wells (including all finally determined revenues and expenses) included in such Subject Offer (the “Final Offer Statement”). The Final Offer Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the date (the “Final Offer Settlement Date”) that is 30 days following the KKR Parties’ receipt of such Final Offer Statement unless the KKR Parties deliver a written exception report containing any changes the KKR Parties propose to be made to the Final Offer Statement prior to such Final Offer Settlement Date (a “Settlement Dispute Notice”). Any changes not included in the Settlement Dispute Notice with respect to the Working Capital shall be deemed waived, and EXCO’s determinations with respect to all such elements of the Final Offer Statement that are not addressed in the Settlement Dispute Notice shall prevail; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to limit the rights of the KKR Parties under Section 6.7(c). If the KKR Parties deliver a Settlement Dispute Notice, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 15 days after EXCO receives the Settlement Dispute Notice, the Parties will meet and undertake to agree on the amounts included in the Final Offer Statement.
(f)If the Parties fail to agree on the Final Offer Statement within 15 days after EXCO’s receipt of a Settlement Dispute Notice, then the matters that remain in dispute (and only such matters) may be submitted to Ernst and Young LLC or such other accounting firm as may be mutually agreed by the Parties (such accounting firm, the “Accounting Arbitrator”), together with the Settlement Dispute Notice, the Final Offer Statement, this Agreement and any other documentation the Parties desire to submit. The Parties shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator that, within 20 Business Days after receiving the Parties’ respective submissions, the Accounting Arbitrator shall render a decision choosing either EXCO’s position or the KKR Parties’ position with respect to each matter addressed in any Settlement Dispute Notice, whichever is most accurate based on the terms of this Agreement and the materials described above. Any decision rendered by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant hereto shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and will be enforceable against each of the Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of such Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne one-half by EXCO and one-half by the KKR Parties. The Final Offer Statement determined by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 6.7(f) shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Arbitrator shall be authorized to resolve only the specific disputed aspects of the Final Offer Statement submitted by the Parties as provided above and may not award damages, interest or penalties to any Party with respect to any matter.
(g)Once the Final Offer Statement has been agreed (or deemed agreed) by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.7(e) or determined by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant to Section 6.7(f) (such agreed or finally determined Final Offer Statement, the “Agreed Final Offer Statement”), then within five Business Days of such agreement (or deemed agreement) or final determination, as applicable, EXCO or the KKR Parties shall pay the amounts required, if any, under this Section 6.7(g). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties shall calculate separate adjustments under this Section 6.7(g) for (i) the collective grouping of Committed Wells included as Transferred Offer Wells and (ii) each individual Uncertainty Well included as a Transferred Offer Well.

(ii)
If the Fair Market Value of the Transferred Offer Wells (A) in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable, equaled or exceeded the Drilling Capital Return Amount and (B) in the Agreed Final Offer Statement for such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable, is less than the Drilling Capital Return Amount, then the KKR Parties may, in their sole discretion, elect:
(1)
to have EXCO retain the Transferred Wells included in such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable, and each KKR Party shall pay to EXCO an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the amounts received by the KKR Parties in such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer for such Transferred Offer Wells in excess of the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement; or
(2)
to receive re-assignment of the Transferred Wells included in such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable (the “KKR Right to Unwind”); provided that if the KKR Parties elect to exercise the KKR Right to Unwind, then EXCO may elect within 10 Business Days to retain the KKR Parties’ interest in such Transferred Offer Wells. If EXCO elects to retain the KKR Parties’ interest, then each KKR Party shall retain the Drilling Capital Return Amount for such Transferred Offer Wells and shall pay to EXCO an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the amounts received by the KKR Parties in such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer for such Transferred Offer Wells in excess of the Drilling Capital Return Amount.
(iii)
If the Fair Market Value of the Transferred Offer Wells in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer was below the Drilling Capital Return Amount, but EXCO elected (in its sole discretion) to exercise its right to purchase such Transferred Offer Wells for the Drilling Capital Return Amount in accordance with Section 6.4, then EXCO shall pay to each KKR Party 66.6667% of the positive difference, if any, between (A) the Fair Market Value set forth in the Agreed Final Offer Statement and (B) the Drilling Capital Return Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment will be required by the KKR Parties under this clause (iii) in the event the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement is less than the Fair Market Value in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable.
(iv)
If the Fair Market Value of the Transferred Offer Wells in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer was below the Drilling Capital Return Amount and the KKR Parties accepted (in their sole discretion) EXCO’s offer, then (A) if the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement is greater than the Fair Market Value in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable, EXCO shall pay to each KKR Party the positive difference between (I) the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement and (II) the Fair Market Value in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable; provided that EXCO shall only be required to pay to each KKR Party 66.6667% of such difference in excess of the Drilling Capital Return Amount; and (B) if the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement is less than the Fair Market Value in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable, each KKR Party shall pay its Proportionate Share of the difference between (I) the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement and (II) the Fair Market Value in the EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer, as applicable.
(v)
If the Fair Market Value of the Transferred Offer Wells in a Retained Well Offer is different than the Fair Market Value set forth in the Agreed Final Offer Statement, then (A) if the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement is greater than the Fair Market Value in the Retained Well Offer, EXCO shall pay to each KKR Party an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of such difference and (B) if the Fair Market Value in the Agreed Final Offer Statement is less than the Fair Market Value in the Retained Well Offer, each KKR Party shall pay to EXCO an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of such difference.
(h)With respect to the Transferred Offer Wells in any EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Offer, if the KKR Parties are entitled to and do elect to exercise the KKR Right to Unwind and EXCO does not elect to retain the KKR Parties’ interest in accordance with Section 6.7(g), then within 15 Business Days following such election, EXCO shall Transfer to each KKR Party, by conveyance with a special warranty by, through and under EXCO and its Affiliates in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit P, the KKR Share of EXCO’s right, title and interest in and to such Transferred Offer Wells, effective as of the Transfer Effective Date. Contemporaneously with the delivery of such conveyance, each KKR Party shall pay to EXCO an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of (i) the amount received by the KKR Parties in such EXCO Offer or First Year Retained Well Offer for such Transferred Offer Wells, less (ii) the positive difference between (A) the KKR Share of all proceeds attributable to such Transferred Offer Wells attributable to the period from and after the Transfer Effective Date that have not been paid to the KKR Parties and (B) the KKR Share of expenses for such Transferred Offer Wells incurred from and after the Transfer Effective Date not yet paid by the KKR Parties.”
