Battalion Oil Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), organized and existing under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies as follows:

1.The present name of the Corporation is Battalion Oil Corporation. The Corporation was originally incorporated on February 5, 2004, under the name Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation.

3.The text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby restated and integrated and further amended to read in its entirety as follows:

FIRST:The name of the corporation is Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Corporation”).

SECOND:The Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is located at 108 Lakeland Ave., Dover, Delaware 19901. The name of its registered agent at such address is Capitol Services, Inc.

FOURTH:The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 101,000,000, of which 100,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

A.Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation. Pursuant to the authority

conferred by this ARTICLE FOURTH, the following series of Preferred Stock have been designated, each such series consisting of such number of shares, with such voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as are stated and expressed in the annex with respect to such series attached hereto as specified below and incorporated herein by reference:

Annex V–Series A-4 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

B.Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.

C.HSR Restriction. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in connection with any acquisition of Common Stock (and/or any other voting securities of the Corporation) as to which the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), would, but for this paragraph, be applicable, any person or entity (as defined under the HSR Act) acquiring such Common Stock (and/or other voting securities of the Corporation) shall have no right to vote such Common Stock or voting securities until such person or entity has complied with the filing and waiting period requirements of the HSR Act.

D.Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock out of funds legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine.

E.Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.

FIFTH:The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the authority and powers conferred upon the Board of Directors by the DGCL or other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is hereby authorized and empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation and the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that no bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation, or any amendments thereto, shall invalidate any prior act of the Board of Directors that would have been valid if such bylaws or amendment had not been adopted.

A.Term of Office. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, the successors of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of the stockholders (subject to the foregoing sentence).

B.Removal of Directors by Stockholders. Subject to any rights, contractual or otherwise, of any group or groups of shareholders to designate a director to the Board of Directors (and to remove such designee), pursuant to Section 141(k) of the DGCL, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. In case any one or more directors be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same time for the unexpired portion of the full term of the director or directors so removed.

SIXTH:The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A.Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

B.Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock that have the right, voting separately or by class or series, to elect one or more directors, and the terms of such Preferred Stock Designation related thereto, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or from any other cause may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting at which such appointed director stands for election and until such director’s successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

C.The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation as provided in the bylaws of the Corporation and without any action on the part of the stockholders, except as may be otherwise provided by applicable law.

D.The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

SEVENTH:A.A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) of a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any action by an officer by or in the right of the Corporation. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section 7.A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B.The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

C.The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

D.To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.B or 7.C, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

E.Indemnification under Section 7.B or 7.C (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Section 7.A or 7.B. Such determination shall be made:

(i)By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or

(ii)If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or

(iii) By the stockholders.

F.Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer

to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this ARTICLE SEVENTH.

G.The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this ARTICLE SEVENTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

H.The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this ARTICLE SEVENTH.

EIGHTH:Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.

NINTH:The Corporation shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

TENTH:The provisions of this Article Tenth are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Corporation’s stockholders, the Non-Employee Directors (as defined below) or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and the Corporation’s directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

A.In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers and employees and/or other representatives of stockholders of the Corporation and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) may serve as directors or officers of the Corporation, (ii) stockholders of the Corporation and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”), and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage.

B.None of (i) the stockholders of the Corporation or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (x) engaging in any transaction or other business opportunity in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages, engages in the future or proposes to engage, (y) making investments in any kind of property or other interests in which the Corporation or its Affiliates makes or may make investments or (z) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,

no Identified Person (as defined below) shall (A) be deemed to have acted in bad faith or in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of the Corporation or its stockholders or to have acted in a manner inconsistent with or opposed to any fiduciary duty to the Corporation or its stockholders or (B) be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty, in each case, by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. The Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person (or which an Identified Person acquires knowledge of) and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 10.C. Subject to Section 10.C, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, shall not (I) be deemed to have acted in bad faith or in a manner inconsistent with the best interests of the Corporation or its stockholders or to have acted in a manner inconsistent with or opposed to any fiduciary duty to the Corporation or its stockholders or (II) be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation, in each case, by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.

C.The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and the provisions of Section 10.B shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

D.In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Tenth, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity or potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that the Corporation is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

E.For purposes of this Article Tenth (i) “Affiliate” shall mean (x) in respect of stockholders of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such stockholder, controls such stockholder or is under common control with such stockholder and shall include any principal, member, manager, director, partner, shareholder, officer, employee or other representative of such stockholder and any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (y) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), and (z) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation; (ii) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or any other entity; and (iii) the Persons identified in Section 10.B.(i) and 10.B.(ii) above shall be referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”; provided, however, that no employee, consultant or officer of the Corporation (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Chaiman of the Board of Directors in his or her capacity as such) shall be an Identified Person.

F.To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article Tenth.

Eleventh:The Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and add other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by applicable law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) are granted subject to the rights reserved in this ARTICLE Eleventh.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Corporation on this 12th day of June 2025.

Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and the General Corporation Law, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), which authorizes the Board of Directors to issue shares of the preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”), in one or more series of Preferred Stock and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors duly adopted on March 23, 2023 the following resolution:

(ii)on a parity with any class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation, the terms of which provide that such class or series ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation (such Capital Stock, together with any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into such Capital Stock, the “Parity Stock”); and

2.	Dividends.

(a)Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Dividend Rate (the “Series A Dividend”). The “Series A Dividend Rate” shall mean fourteen and one-half percent (14.50%) per annum on the then-applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined herein). The period from the closing date of the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) to and including June 30, 2023, and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period.” “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2023.

(b)Series A Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Series A Dividend Rate and shall compound quarterly and accumulate, whether or not earned or declared, from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issuance Date (subject, in each case, to the Unpaid Dividend Accrual).

(c)If a Series A Dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, then such Series A Dividend shall be paid in cash. The Board of Directors shall not be required to declare any Series A Dividends, and any declaration of a Series A Dividend shall be solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Annex I to A&R Charter | 3

(d)If a Series A Dividend is not declared and paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, then in full discharge of such Series A Dividend for such Dividend Period, the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of its date of issue, shall automatically increase on such Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date in respect of the first Dividend Period) (such automatic increase, the “Unpaid Dividend Accrual”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be pro-rated for the period of time elapsed during such Dividend Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the Unpaid Dividend Accrual that increased the Liquidation Preference during any historical Dividend Period can be paid by the Corporation in cash, out of funds lawfully available therefor, at any time as and if declared by the Board of Directors; provided that, after any such payment, the Liquidation Preference shall automatically decrease by the amount of such payment.

(e)All cash dividends paid or declared for payment on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be shared pro rata based on the then-current dividends due on shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of non-cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock.

(f)Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall fully participate, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared and paid or distributions on Common Stock as if the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the Conversion Ratio in effect on such record date.

3.	Liquidation.

(a)Prior to conversion pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a liquidation (complete or partial), dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder”) shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of Senior Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, a liquidating distribution (the “Liquidation Distribution”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then-applicable Liquidation Preference, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment for any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and (ii) the amount such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation. The “Liquidation Preference” shall equal $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, which amount shall be adjusted as the result of any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and as otherwise set forth herein. In addition, in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference shall be adjusted to include all accrued and unpaid dividends (at the Series A Dividend Rate) between the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date with respect to the first Dividend Period) and the date immediately prior to the effective date of such conversion or redemption. If, upon a Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to any distribution of assets upon Liquidation are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all such Liquidation Preference payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts

Annex I to A&R Charter | 4

to which they are entitled.

(b)The Corporation shall provide the Holders appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein with written notice of (i) any voluntary Liquidation promptly after such Liquidation has been approved by the Board of Directors and at least five (5) days prior to the effective date of such Liquidation and (ii) any involuntary Liquidation promptly upon the Corporation becoming aware of any instituted proceeding in respect thereof.

(b)If (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, subject to Section 5.02 (Information Statement) of the Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2023, among the Corporation and the initial Holders (the “Purchase Agreement”), endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

Annex I to A&R Charter | 7

production for which prices are defined, within the meaning of SEC guidelines, by contractual arrangements excluding escalation based upon future conditions, then contract prices shall be applied to future production subject to such arrangements.

(vi)All of the financial metrics in subclauses (i)-(iii) above (other than (i)(A)) shall use the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Immediately following the settlement of any conversion, if any, the rights of the holders of converted Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and the Persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with such conversion, the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock formerly designated pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be restored to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or a constituent corporation) or split.

Annex I to A&R Charter | 8

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(f)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, Change of Control, spin-off or other business combination (not otherwise addressed in Section 7(e) above) (a “Corporation Event”), the Corporation shall notify each Holder of such event (such notice to set forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Corporation Event and the securities, cash or other assets, if any, which a holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock (each on a per share basis) would receive upon the consummation of such event, to the extent known by the Corporation at the time); provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide any holder with information that is otherwise not publicly available.

(g)Upon any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an appropriate officer of the Corporation, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.

(h)The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, documentary, stamp and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise, property or similar taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. However, the holder of any Series A Preferred Stock shall pay any tax that is due because Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are issued in a name other than such holder’s name.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock. All Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock but shall round the fractional share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (and a 0.5 of a share of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next higher share of Common Stock).

(j)The Corporation agrees that it will act in good faith to make any adjustment(s) required by this Section 7 equitably and in such a manner as to afford the Holders the benefits of the provisions hereof, and will not intentionally take any action to deprive such Holders of the express benefit hereof.

(k)Any conversion made pursuant to this Section 7, including any Issuer Forced Conversion made pursuant to Section 7(b), is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any relevant stock exchange rules.

Such redemption shall be completed on a date specified in the Redemption Notice, which shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the Redemption Notice.

(i)At any time on or prior to the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the option of the Corporation, either (A) each Holder shall have all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed in exchange for a cash payment per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference as of such date or (B) each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference as of such date multiplied by one hundred and seven point five percent (107.5%) and (2) the VWAP over fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the closing of the Change of Control transaction.

(iii)At any time after the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date and prior to the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs, the Corporation shall have the option to offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A Preferred Stock it holds equal to the Redemption Price (the “Optional CoC Redemption Offer”).

consummation of such Change of Control.

If, as a result of the previous sentence, any such redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is delayed for more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation otherwise planned to make such redemption (the “30 Day Date”) and the redemption occurs, the Series A Dividend shall stop accumulating (including with respect to any Unpaid Dividend Accrual) on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed from the 30 Day Date until the date of such redemption and the Redemption Price for such redemption shall be that applicable at the 30 Day Date.

10.	Additional Procedures.

(a)In connection with any conversion pursuant to Section 7 or redemption in accordance with Section 8, the Holder must deliver transfer instruments reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, at the principal office of the Corporation (or such other place mutually acceptable to the Holder and the Corporation) together with written notice that such Holder elects to convert all or such lesser number of shares as specified therein.

2.	Dividends.

(a)Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to the Series A-1 Dividend Rate (the “Series A-1 Dividend”). The “Series A-1 Dividend Rate” shall mean fourteen and one-half percent (14.50%) per annum on the then-applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined herein). The period from the closing date of the issuance of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) to and including September 30, 2023,and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period.” “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2023.

(b)Series A-1 Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Series A-1 Dividend Rate and shall compound quarterly and accumulate, whether or not earned or declared, from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issuance Date (subject, in each case, to the Unpaid Dividend Accrual).

(c)If a Series A-1 Dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, then such Series A-1 Dividend shall be paid in cash. The Board of Directors shall not be required to declare any Series A-1 Dividends, and any declaration of a Series A-1 Dividend shall be solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Annex II to A&R Charter | 3

(d)If a Series A-1 Dividend is not declared and paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, then in full discharge of such Series A-1 Dividend for such Dividend Period, the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, regardless of its date of issue, shall automatically increase on such Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date in respect of the first Dividend Period) (such automatic increase, the “Unpaid Dividend Accrual”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be pro-rated for the period of time elapsed during such Dividend Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the Unpaid Dividend Accrual that increased the Liquidation Preference during any historical Dividend Period can be paid by the Corporation in cash, out of funds lawfully available therefor, at any time as and if declared by the Board of Directors; provided that, after any such payment, the Liquidation Preference shall automatically decrease by the amount of such payment.

(e)All cash dividends paid or declared for payment on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be shared pro rata based on the then-current dividends due on shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of non-cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock.

(f)Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall fully participate, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared and paid or distributions on Common Stock as if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the Conversion Ratio in effect on such record date.

3.	Liquidation.

(a)Prior to conversion pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a liquidation (complete or partial), dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder”) shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of Senior Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, a liquidating distribution (the “Liquidation Distribution”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then-applicable Liquidation Preference, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment for any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and (ii) the amount such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation. The “Liquidation Preference” shall equal $1,000 per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which amount shall be adjusted as the result of any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and as otherwise set forth herein. In addition, in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference shall be adjusted to include all accrued and unpaid dividends (at the Series A-1 Dividend Rate) between the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date with respect to the first Dividend Period) and the date immediately prior to the effective date of such conversion or redemption. If, upon a Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock with respect to any distribution of assets upon Liquidation are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all such Liquidation Preference payable with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, then the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective

Annex II to A&R Charter | 4

preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(c)After the payment in cash or proceeds to the Holders of the full amount of the Liquidation Distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have no right or claim, based on their ownership of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, to the remaining assets of the Corporation, if any. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors or liquidating trustee, as the case may be.

4.	Voting.

(b)Protective Provisions. In addition to any vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations, for so long as any of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, take any of the following actions, including whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations), the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class to:

(iv)declare or pay any dividends or other distributions in cash or property with respect to its Common Stock or other Junior Stock;

(vi)redeem, repurchase, recapitalize or acquire shares of its Parity Stock other than (A)

Annex II to A&R Charter | 5

pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, (B) as a result of a reclassification of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock, (C) the exchange or conversion of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock or (D) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Parity Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Parity Stock or the security being converted or exchanged.

If the Corporation shall propose to take any action enumerated above in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 4(b) then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice of such proposed action to each Holder of record appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. Such notice shall specify, inter alia (x) the proposed effective date of such action; (y) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such action, if applicable; and (z) the other material terms of such action. Such notice shall be given at least two Business Days prior to the applicable date or effective date specified above. For the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in Houston, Texas or New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close. If at any time the Corporation shall cancel any of the proposed actions for which notice has been given under this Section 4(b) prior to the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such cancellation to each holder of record of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder of record of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock does not respond to the aforementioned notice, such non-response shall in no way be deemed to constitute the written consent or affirmative vote of such Holder regarding any of the aforementioned actions in this Section 4(b) or described within such notice.

5.	Reservation of Common Stock.

(a)At any time that any Series A-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized Capital Stock of the Corporation to include a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

(b)If (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, subject to Section 5.02 (Information Statement) of the Purchase Agreement, dated on or about September 6, 2023, among the Corporation and the initial Holders (the “Purchase Agreement”), endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

6.	Uncertificated Shares.

The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice as required by the General Corporation Law.

7.	Conversion.

Annex II to A&R Charter | 6

that the Corporation shall not be required to honor such request if such Holder has previously delivered a Conversion Notice, in respect of an Optional Holder Conversion, during the same fiscal quarter. The “Conversion Ratio” means, for each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference as of the date of the conversion and (ii) the then applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $7.63, which may be adjusted from time to time as set forth herein.

(b)If based on the Corporation’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter and a reserve report as of the same date prepared by an independent reserve engineering firm as of the end of a fiscal quarter that, as of such date, (x) the PDP PV-20 value divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including the Series A-1 Preferred Stock), is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion Conditions”, then the Corporation shall have the option from time to time until such time that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are no longer satisfied (based on the Corporation’s financial statements for each subsequent fiscal quarter and the Corporation’s reserve report for each subsequent fiscal quarter (without the requirement that such reserve report is prepared by an independent reserve engineer)) or a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements that met the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Holders at the address of such Holders shown on the stock books of the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2 (the “Issuer Conversion Notice”), to convert some or all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock using the then applicable Conversion Ratio (the “Issuer Forced Conversion”).

(iii)“Working Capital Adjustments” means the Corporation’s current assets minus current liabilities.

Annex II to A&R Charter | 7

arrangements excluding escalation based upon future conditions, then contract prices shall be applied to future production subject to such arrangements.

(c)In the event a Holder has elected an Optional Holder Conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) or in the event the Corporation has elected an Issuer Forced Conversion pursuant to Section 7(b) above, the Corporation shall deliver, no later than two Business Days following the conversion date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio.

(d)Any Common Stock delivered as a result of conversion pursuant to this Section 7 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any preemptive right, liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the General Corporation Law, the Bylaws or transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities laws. Immediately following the settlement of any conversion, if any, the rights of the holders of converted Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall cease and the Persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with such conversion, the converted shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock formerly designated pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be restored to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(e)If, after the Issuance Date, the Corporation (i) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in securities (including Common Stock) or other property or assets, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any securities (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, including a transaction contemplated by the proviso in clause (1) of the definition of Change of Control), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or shares of any securities into which such shares of Common Stock would have been combined, consolidated, merged, reclassified or exchanged pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A-1 Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction or event either in the Corporation if the surviving corporation or in the constituent corporation. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or a constituent corporation) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described

Annex II to A&R Charter | 8

above shall occur.

(f)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, Change of Control, spin-off or other business combination (not otherwise addressed in Section 7(e) above) (a “Corporation Event”), the Corporation shall notify each Holder of such event (such notice to set forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Corporation Event and the securities, cash or other assets, if any, which a holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Common Stock (each on a per share basis) would receive upon the consummation of such event, to the extent known by the Corporation at the time); provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide any holder with information that is otherwise not publicly available.

(h)The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, documentary, stamp and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise, property or similar taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. However, the holder of any Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall pay any tax that is due because Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are issued in a name other than such holder’s name.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A-1 Preferred Stock. All Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock but shall round the fractional share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (and a 0.5 of a share of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next higher share of Common Stock).

Such redemption shall be completed on a date specified in the Redemption Notice, which shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the Redemption Notice. If the Corporation redeems only a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to such redemption shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

(iii)At any time after the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date and prior to the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs, the Corporation shall have the option to offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock it holds equal to the Redemption Price (the “Optional CoC Redemption Offer”). The Corporation shall notify each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control if it is electing to exercise the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the

Annex II to A&R Charter | 10

(iv)(A) a “Change of Control” means (1) the consummation of any transaction by the Corporation the result of which is that any Person or “group” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than any Permitted Holder, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Corporation, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, units or the like; provided that a transaction in which the Corporation becomes a subsidiary of another Person shall not constitute a Change of Control if, immediately following such transaction, the Persons who were beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the voting stock of such other Person of whom the Corporation has become a subsidiary or (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; and (B) the “Permitted Holder” means any holder of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock as of the Issuance Date and its affiliates.

If, as a result of the previous sentence, any such redemption of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is delayed for more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation otherwise planned to make such redemption (the “30 Day Date”) and the redemption occurs, the Series A-1 Dividend shall stop accumulating (including with respect to any Unpaid Dividend Accrual) on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed from the 30 Day Date until the date of such redemption and the Redemption Price for such redemption shall be that applicable at the 30 Day Date.

SERIES A-1 REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
(Par Value $0.0001 Per Share)

December 15, 2023

Whereas, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and the DGCL, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Board has previously authorized the creation and issuance of a series of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation designated as the “Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), with terms set forth in that certain Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 6, 2023 (the “Certificate of Designations”);

Whereas, on December 14, 2023, the Board duly approved and adopted resolutions for purposes of amending certain provisions of the Certificate of Designations (this “Amendment”); and

Whereas, pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Certificate of Designation, the holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Series A-1 Holders”), by written consent, approved this Amendment on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board and in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, the Certificate of Designations be, and hereby is amended as follows:

1.Section 7(a) of the Certificate of Designations is amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)Each Holder shall have the option from time to time, commencing on the date that is two hundred and forty (240) days after the Issuance Date, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Corporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A-1 (the “Conversion Notice”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, to convert all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (an “Optional Holder Conversion”); provided that the Corporation shall not be required to honor such request if such Holder has previously delivered a Conversion Notice, in respect of an Optional Holder Conversion, during the same fiscal quarter. The “Conversion Ratio” means, for each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference as of the date of the conversion and (ii) the then applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $7.63, which

may be adjusted from time to time as set forth herein.

2.Section 8(a) of the Certificate of Designations is amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)The Corporation has the option in its sole discretion, from time to time other than in connection with a Liquidation and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to redeem all or a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, for an amount per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price, subject to a holder’s right to elect conversion set forth below. The “Redemption Price” means (a) for the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on the date that is one hundred and nineteen (119) days after the Issuance Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (b) for the period commencing on the day that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Issuance Date and ending on the date that is two hundred and thirty-nine (239) days after the Issuance Date, one hundred and two percent (102%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (c) for the period commencing on the day that is two hundred and forty (240) days after the Issuance Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (d) for the period commencing on the day immediately after the first (1st) anniversary of the Issuance Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and eight percent (108%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; and (e) any time after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time. The Corporation may exercise its redemption option under this Section 8(a) by delivery of written notice to the Holders in the form attached as Annex B (the “Redemption Notice”), provided, however, that, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Redemption Notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to convert the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to such Redemption Notice and in accordance with Section 7(a). Such redemption shall be completed on a date specified in the Redemption Notice, which shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the Redemption Notice. If the Corporation redeems only a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock subject to such redemption shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

3.Clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 8(b) of the Certificate of Designations are amended and restated to read as follows:

(i)At any time on or prior to the two hundred fortieth (240^th) day following the Issuance Date, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the option of the Corporation, either (A) each Holder shall have all of their shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock redeemed in exchange for, exchanged for or converted into the right to receive a cash payment per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price as of such date or (B) each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference as of such date multiplied by one hundred and seven point five percent (107.5%) and (2) the VWAP over fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the closing of the Change of Control transaction.

(ii)At any time after both the two hundred fortieth (240^th) day following the Issuance Date and the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock

Annex II to A&R Charter | 2

equal to the Redemption Price (the “Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer”); provided, however, that, notice of such Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer shall be provided to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (“CoC Conversion Consideration”).

(iii)At any time after the two hundred fortieth (240^th) day following the Issuance Date and prior to the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs, the Corporation shall have the option to offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock it holds equal to the Redemption Price (the “Optional CoC Redemption Offer”). The Corporation shall notify each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control if it is electing to exercise the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control. If the Corporation does not elect to offer the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control.

4.All other provisions of the Certificate of Designation shall remain in full force and effect.

(a)Holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate per share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock equal to the Series A-2 Dividend Rate (the “Series A-2 Dividend”). The “Series A-2 Dividend Rate” shall mean fourteen and one-half percent (14.50%) per annum on the then-applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined herein). The period from the closing date of the issuance of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) to and including December 31, 2023,and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period.” “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on December 31, 2023.

(b)Series A-2 Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Series A-2 Dividend Rate and shall compound quarterly and accumulate, whether or not earned or declared, from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issuance Date (subject, in each case, to the Unpaid Dividend Accrual).

(c)If a Series A-2 Dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, then such Series A-2 Dividend shall be paid in cash. The Board of Directors shall not be required to declare any Series A-2 Dividends, and any declaration of a Series A-2 Dividend shall be solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Annex III to A&R Charter | 3

(d)If a Series A-2 Dividend is not declared and paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, then in full discharge of such Series A-2 Dividend for such Dividend Period, the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, regardless of its date of issue, shall automatically increase on such Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date in respect of the first Dividend Period) (such automatic increase, the “Unpaid Dividend Accrual”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be pro-rated for the period of time elapsed during such Dividend Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the Unpaid Dividend Accrual that increased the Liquidation Preference during any historical Dividend Period can be paid by the Corporation in cash, out of funds lawfully available therefor, at any time as and if declared by the Board of Directors; provided that, after any such payment, the Liquidation Preference shall automatically decrease by the amount of such payment.

(e)All cash dividends paid or declared for payment on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be shared pro rata based on the then-current dividends due on shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of non-cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock.

(f)Holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall fully participate, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared and paid or distributions on Common Stock as if the Series A-2 Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the Conversion Ratio in effect on such record date.

3.	Liquidation.

(a)Prior to conversion pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a liquidation (complete or partial), dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder”) shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of Senior Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, a liquidating distribution (the “Liquidation Distribution”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then-applicable Liquidation Preference, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment for any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and (ii) the amount such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation. The “Liquidation Preference” shall equal $1,000 per share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, which amount shall be adjusted as the result of any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and as otherwise set forth herein. In addition, in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference shall be adjusted to include all accrued and unpaid dividends (at the Series A-2 Dividend Rate) between the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date with respect to the first Dividend Period) and the date immediately prior to the effective date of such conversion or redemption. If, upon a Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock with respect to any distribution of assets upon Liquidation are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all such Liquidation Preference payable with respect to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, then the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the

Annex III to A&R Charter | 4

full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(c)After the payment in cash or proceeds to the Holders of the full amount of the Liquidation Distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have no right or claim, based on their ownership of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, to the remaining assets of the Corporation, if any. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors or liquidating trustee, as the case may be.

4.	Voting.

(b)Protective Provisions. In addition to any vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations, for so long as any of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, take any of the following actions, including whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations), the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class to:

(iv)declare or pay any dividends or other distributions in cash or property with respect to its Common Stock or other Junior Stock;

Annex III to A&R Charter | 5

(vi)redeem, repurchase, recapitalize or acquire shares of its Parity Stock other than (A) pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, (B) as a result of a reclassification of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock, (C) the exchange or conversion of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock or (D) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Parity Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Parity Stock or the security being converted or exchanged.

If the Corporation shall propose to take any action enumerated above in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 4(b) then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice of such proposed action to each Holder of record appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. Such notice shall specify, inter alia (x) the proposed effective date of such action; (y) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such action, if applicable; and (z) the other material terms of such action. Such notice shall be given at least two Business Days prior to the applicable date or effective date specified above. For the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in Houston, Texas or New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close. If at any time the Corporation shall cancel any of the proposed actions for which notice has been given under this Section 4(b) prior to the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such cancellation to each holder of record of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder of record of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock does not respond to the aforementioned notice, such non-response shall in no way be deemed to constitute the written consent or affirmative vote of such Holder regarding any of the aforementioned actions in this Section 4(b) or described within such notice.

5.	Reservation of Common Stock.

(a)At any time that any Series A-2 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized Capital Stock of the Corporation to include a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

(b)If (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, subject to Section 5.02 (Information Statement) of the Purchase Agreement, dated on or about December 15, 2023, among the Corporation and the initial Holders (the “Purchase Agreement”), endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

6.	Uncertificated Shares

The shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice as required by the General Corporation Law.

7.	Conversion.

Annex III to A&R Charter | 6

permitted by applicable law, to convert all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (an “Optional Holder Conversion”); provided that the Corporation shall not be required to honor such request if such Holder has previously delivered a Conversion Notice, in respect of an Optional Holder Conversion, during the same fiscal quarter. The “Conversion Ratio” means, for each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference as of the date of the conversion and (ii) the then applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $6.21, which may be adjusted from time to time as set forth herein.

(b)If based on the Corporation’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter and a reserve report as of the same date prepared by an independent reserve engineering firm as of the end of a fiscal quarter that, as of such date, (x) the PDP PV-20 value divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including the Series A-2 Preferred Stock), is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion Conditions”, then the Corporation shall have the option from time to time until such time that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are no longer satisfied (based on the Corporation’s financial statements for each subsequent fiscal quarter and the Corporation’s reserve report for each subsequent fiscal quarter (without the requirement that such reserve report is prepared by an independent reserve engineer)) or a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements that met the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Holders at the address of such Holders shown on the stock books of the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2 (the “Issuer Conversion Notice”), to convert some or all outstanding shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock using the then applicable Conversion Ratio (the “Issuer Forced Conversion”).

(iii)“Working Capital Adjustments” means the Corporation’s current assets minus current liabilities.

Annex III to A&R Charter | 7

for energy content, quality and basis differentials; provided that with respect to estimated future production for which prices are defined, within the meaning of SEC guidelines, by contractual arrangements excluding escalation based upon future conditions, then contract prices shall be applied to future production subject to such arrangements.

(c)In the event a Holder has elected an Optional Holder Conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) or in the event the Corporation has elected an Issuer Forced Conversion pursuant to Section 7(b) above, the Corporation shall deliver, no later than two Business Days following the conversion date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio.

(d)Any Common Stock delivered as a result of conversion pursuant to this Section 7 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any preemptive right, liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the General Corporation Law, the Bylaws or transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities laws. Immediately following the settlement of any conversion, if any, the rights of the holders of converted Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall cease and the Persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with such conversion, the converted shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock formerly designated pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be restored to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(e)If, after the Issuance Date, the Corporation (i) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in securities (including Common Stock) or other property or assets, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any securities (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, including a transaction contemplated by the proviso in clause (1) of the definition of Change of Control), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or shares of any securities into which such shares of Common Stock would have been combined, consolidated, merged, reclassified or exchanged pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A-2 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A-2 Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction or event either in the Corporation if the surviving corporation or in the constituent corporation. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a

Annex III to A&R Charter | 8

merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or a constituent corporation) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(f)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, Change of Control, spin-off or other business combination (not otherwise addressed in Section 7(e) above) (a “Corporation Event”), the Corporation shall notify each Holder of such event (such notice to set forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Corporation Event and the securities, cash or other assets, if any, which a holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Common Stock (each on a per share basis) would receive upon the consummation of such event, to the extent known by the Corporation at the time); provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide any holder with information that is otherwise not publicly available.

(h)The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, documentary, stamp and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise, property or similar taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. However, the holder of any Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall pay any tax that is due because Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are issued in a name other than such holder’s name.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A-2 Preferred Stock. All Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock but shall round the fractional share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (and a 0.5 of a share of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next higher share of Common Stock).

If, as a result of the previous sentence, any such redemption of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is delayed for more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation otherwise planned to make such redemption (the “30 Day Date”) and the redemption occurs, the Series A-2 Dividend shall stop accumulating (including with respect to any Unpaid Dividend Accrual) on the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed from the 30 Day Date until the date of such redemption and the Redemption Price for such redemption shall be that applicable at the 30 Day Date. The Corporation further agrees that, for every taxable year in which the Series A-2 Preferred Stock remains outstanding (other than tax year 2023), it shall use reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or update its current “earnings and profits study” (or similar analysis) to determine its then-current and accumulated earnings and profits.

2.	Dividends.

(a)Holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock equal to the Series A-3 Dividend Rate (the “Series A-3 Dividend”). The “Series A-3 Dividend Rate” shall mean fourteen and one-half percent (14.50%) per annum on the then-applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined herein). The period from the closing date of the issuance of the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) to and including March 31, 2024, and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period.” “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 2024.

(b)Series A-3 Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Series A-3 Dividend Rate and shall compound quarterly and accumulate, whether or not earned or declared, from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issuance Date (subject, in each case, to the Unpaid Dividend Accrual).

(c)If a Series A-3 Dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, then such Series A-3 Dividend shall be paid in cash. The Board of Directors shall not be required to declare any Series A-3 Dividends, and any declaration of a Series A-3 Dividend shall be solely at the discretion of the Board of

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 3

Directors of the Corporation.

(d)If a Series A-3 Dividend is not declared and paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, then in full discharge of such Series A-3 Dividend for such Dividend Period, the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, regardless of its date of issue, shall automatically increase on such Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date in respect of the first Dividend Period) (such automatic increase, the “Unpaid Dividend Accrual”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be pro-rated for the period of time elapsed during such Dividend Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the Unpaid Dividend Accrual that increased the Liquidation Preference during any historical Dividend Period can be paid by the Corporation in cash, out of funds lawfully available therefor, at any time as and if declared by the Board of Directors; provided that, after any such payment, the Liquidation Preference shall automatically decrease by the amount of such payment.

(e)All cash dividends paid or declared for payment on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be shared pro rata based on the then-current dividends due on shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of non-cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock.

(f)Holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall fully participate, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared and paid or distributions on Common Stock as if the Series A-3 Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the Conversion Ratio in effect on such record date.

3.	Liquidation.

(a)Prior to conversion pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a liquidation (complete or partial), dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder”) shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of Senior Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, a liquidating distribution (the “Liquidation Distribution”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then-applicable Liquidation Preference, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment for any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and (ii) the amount such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation. The “Liquidation Preference” shall equal $1,000 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, which amount shall be adjusted as the result of any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and as otherwise set forth herein. In addition, in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference shall be adjusted to include all accrued and unpaid dividends (at the Series A-3 Dividend Rate) between the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date with respect to the first Dividend Period) and the date immediately prior to the effective date of such conversion or redemption. If, upon a Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A-3 Preferred Stock with respect to any distribution of assets upon Liquidation are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all such Liquidation Preference payable with respect to the

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 4

Series A-3 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, then the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(c)After the payment in cash or proceeds to the Holders of the full amount of the Liquidation Distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have no right or claim, based on their ownership of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, to the remaining assets of the Corporation, if any. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors or liquidating trustee, as the case may be.

4.	Voting.

(b)Protective Provisions. In addition to any vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations, for so long as any of the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, take any of the following actions, including whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations), the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class to:

(iv)declare or pay any dividends or other distributions in cash or property with respect to its Common Stock or other Junior Stock;

(v)redeem, repurchase or acquire shares of its Common Stock or other Junior Stock (other than with respect to customary repurchase rights or tax withholding arrangements with

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 5

respect to equity awards or benefit plans); or

(vi)redeem, repurchase, recapitalize or acquire shares of its Parity Stock other than (A) pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, (B) as a result of a reclassification of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock, (C) the exchange or conversion of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock or (D) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Parity Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Parity Stock or the security being converted or exchanged.

If the Corporation shall propose to take any action enumerated above in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 4(b) then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice of such proposed action to each Holder of record appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. Such notice shall specify, inter alia (x) the proposed effective date of such action; (y) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such action, if applicable; and (z) the other material terms of such action. Such notice shall be given at least two Business Days prior to the applicable date or effective date specified above. For the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in Houston, Texas or New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close. If at any time the Corporation shall cancel any of the proposed actions for which notice has been given under this Section 4(b) prior to the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such cancellation to each holder of record of the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder of record of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock does not respond to the aforementioned notice, such non-response shall in no way be deemed to constitute the written consent or affirmative vote of such Holder regarding any of the aforementioned actions in this Section 4(b) or described within such notice.

5.	Reservation of Common Stock.

(a)At any time that any Series A-3 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized Capital Stock of the Corporation to include a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock.

(b)If (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, subject to Section 5.02 (Information Statement) of the Purchase Agreement, dated on or about March 27, 2024, among the Corporation and the initial Holders (the “Purchase Agreement”), endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

6.	Uncertificated Shares

The shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice as required by the General Corporation Law.

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 6

7.	Conversion.

(a)Commencing on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Issuance Date, each Holder shall have the option from time to time, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Corporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A-1 (the “Conversion Notice”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, to convert all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (an “Optional Holder Conversion”); provided that the Corporation shall not be required to honor such request if such Holder has previously delivered a Conversion Notice, in respect of an Optional Holder Conversion, during the same fiscal quarter. The “Conversion Ratio” means, for each share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference as of the date of the conversion and (ii) the then applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $6.83, which may be adjusted from time to time as set forth herein.

(b)If based on the Corporation’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter and a reserve report as of the same date prepared by an independent reserve engineering firm as of the end of a fiscal quarter that, as of such date, (x) the PDP PV-20 value divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including the Series A-3 Preferred Stock), is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion Conditions”, then the Corporation shall have the option from time to time until such time that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are no longer satisfied (based on the Corporation’s financial statements for each subsequent fiscal quarter and the Corporation’s reserve report for each subsequent fiscal quarter (without the requirement that such reserve report is prepared by an independent reserve engineer)) or a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements that met the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Holders at the address of such Holders shown on the stock books of the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2 (the “Issuer Conversion Notice”), to convert some or all outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock into Common Stock using the then applicable Conversion Ratio (the “Issuer Forced Conversion”).

(iii)“Working Capital Adjustments” means the Corporation’s current assets minus current liabilities.

(c)In the event a Holder has elected an Optional Holder Conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) or in the event the Corporation has elected an Issuer Forced Conversion pursuant to Section 7(b) above, the Corporation shall deliver, no later than two Business Days following the conversion date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio.

(d)Any Common Stock delivered as a result of conversion pursuant to this Section 7 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any preemptive right, liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the General Corporation Law, the Bylaws or transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities laws. Immediately following the settlement of any conversion, if any, the rights of the holders of converted Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall cease and the Persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with such conversion, the converted shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock formerly designated pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be restored to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(e)If, after the Issuance Date, the Corporation (i) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in securities (including Common Stock) or other property or assets, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any securities (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, including a transaction contemplated by the proviso in clause (1) of the definition of Change of Control), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or shares of any securities into which such shares of Common Stock would have been combined, consolidated, merged, reclassified or exchanged pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A-3 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A-3 Preferred Stock had immediately

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 8

prior to such transaction or event either in the Corporation if the surviving corporation or in the constituent corporation. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or a constituent corporation) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(f)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, Change of Control, spin-off or other business combination (not otherwise addressed in Section 7(e) above) (a “Corporation Event”), the Corporation shall notify each Holder of such event (such notice to set forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Corporation Event and the securities, cash or other assets, if any, which a holder of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Common Stock (each on a per share basis) would receive upon the consummation of such event, to the extent known by the Corporation at the time); provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide any holder with information that is otherwise not publicly available.

(h)The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, documentary, stamp and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise, property or similar taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of Series A-3 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. However, the holder of any Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall pay any tax that is due because Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are issued in a name other than such holder’s name.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A-3 Preferred Stock. All Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock but shall round the fractional share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (and a 0.5 of a share of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next higher share of Common Stock).

8.	Redemption

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 9

“Redemption Price” means (a) for the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on the date that is one hundred and nineteen (119) days after the Issuance Date, one hundred percent (100%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (b) for the period commencing on the day that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Issuance Date and ending on the date that is one hundred and seventy-nine (179) days after the Issuance Date, one hundred and two percent (102%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (c) for the period commencing on the day that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Issuance Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; (d) for the period commencing on the day immediately after the first (1st) anniversary of the Issuance Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and eight percent (108%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time; and (e) any time after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issuance Date, one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Liquidation Preference at such time. The Corporation may exercise its redemption option under this Section 8(a) by delivery of written notice to the Holders in the form attached as Annex B (the “Redemption Notice”), provided, however, that, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Redemption Notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to convert the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock subject to such Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 7(a). Such redemption shall be completed on a date specified in the Redemption Notice, which shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the Redemption Notice. If the Corporation redeems only a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock subject to such redemption shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock.

(b)Change of Control.

(i)At any time on or prior to the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the option of the Corporation, either (A) each Holder shall have all of their shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock redeemed in exchange for, exchanged for or converted into the right to receive a cash payment per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price as of such date or (B) each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference as of such date multiplied by one hundred and seven point five percent (107.5%) and (2) the VWAP over fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the closing of the Change of Control transaction.

(ii)At any time after both the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date and the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price (the “Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer”); provided, however, that, notice of such Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer shall be provided to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (“CoC Conversion Consideration”).

(iii)At any time after the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date and prior to the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 10

that occurs, the Corporation shall have the option to offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock it holds equal to the Redemption Price (the “Optional CoC Redemption Offer”). The Corporation shall notify each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control if it is electing to exercise the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control. If the Corporation does not elect to offer the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control.

(iv)(A) a “Change of Control” means (1) the consummation of any transaction by the Corporation the result of which is that any Person or “group” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than any Permitted Holder, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Corporation, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, units or the like; provided that a transaction in which the Corporation becomes a subsidiary of another Person shall not constitute a Change of Control if, immediately following such transaction, the Persons who were beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the voting stock of such other Person of whom the Corporation has become a subsidiary or (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; and (B) the “Permitted Holder” means any holder of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock as of the Issuance Date and its affiliates.

(v)“Term Loan Restricted Period” means the period from the Issuance Date until the earliest of (a) the termination of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, (b) the first Business Day immediately following the first anniversary of the Maturity Date of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), and (c) such time, if any, as the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be amended in a manner that would not cause the Series A-3 Preferred Stock to be “Disqualified Capital Stock” under the Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of the Corporation being obligated to effect the Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer pursuant to clause (ii) above.

(vii)“Maturity Date” means November 24, 2025.

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 11

Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm mutually agreed to by the Corporation and holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(c)The Holders and the Corporation agree that each will cooperate in good faith to determine the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any redemption by the Corporation of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and will (and will cause its affiliates to), in connection with any such redemption, reasonably cooperate (i) to structure such redemption in a manner that permits each Holder to report the redemption payment as received in part or full payment in exchange for its Series A-3 Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such structure can be achieved without any unreimbursed cost or expense to the Corporation (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holders and the Corporation acknowledge (A) that it may not be possible to structure any such redemption in a manner that permits a Holder to report a redemption payment as received in part or full payment in exchange for its Series A-3 Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case the Corporation shall still be entitled to make any such redemption pursuant to this Section 8 as it determines is appropriate (and in the amounts it determines is appropriate) and (B) that different Holders may be subject to different treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes), (ii) to allow each Holder a reasonable opportunity to transfer its Series A-3 Preferred Stock to an affiliate or third party prior to such redemption; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to assist in such transfer (other than in respect of registering such transfer on the books and records of the Corporation) and, for the avoidance of doubt, such transfer shall be subject to the other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, and (iii) if such redemption is funded by, or occurs in connection with, an issuance of equity by the Corporation, to cause the Person or Persons acquiring such equity to purchase the Series A-3 Preferred Stock from the Holders directly and to make any necessary amendments to this Certificate of Designations following such purchase as agreed between such purchaser(s) and the Corporation. If, as a result of the previous sentence, any such redemption of shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock is delayed for more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation otherwise planned to make such redemption (the “30 Day Date”) and the redemption occurs, the Series A-3 Dividend shall stop accumulating (including with respect to any Unpaid Dividend Accrual) on the shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed from the 30 Day Date until the date of such redemption and the Redemption Price for such redemption shall be that applicable at the 30 Day Date. The Corporation further agrees that, for every taxable year in which the Series A-3 Preferred Stock remains outstanding (other than tax year 2024), it shall use reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or update its current “earnings and profits study” (or similar analysis) to determine its then-current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 12

(b)“Stockholder Approval” means stockholder approval of the proposal to issue Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock for purposes of Rule 713 of the NYSE American Listed Company Manual, or to comply with the applicable rules of the national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed.

10.	Additional Procedures.

(b)Transfers of Series A-3 Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Corporation kept at an office of the Corporation upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock. The Corporation may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer is made in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations.

11.	No Other Rights.

The shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall not have any powers, designations, preferences or relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, nor shall there be any qualifications, limitations or restrictions or any powers, designations, preferences or rights of such shares, other than as set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation, or as may be provided by law.

12.	Other Provisions.

(a)The shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the operation of any retirement or sinking fund.

Annex IV to A&R Charter | 13

provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to add as a part of this Certificate of Designations a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, unless the requisite parties separately agree to a replacement provision that is valid, legal and enforceable.

(d)Unless otherwise agreed to by the Corporation and the applicable Holder, any certificate representing the Series A-3 Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) will bear a restrictive legend substantially in the form set forth below, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Certificate of Designations, and will be subject to the restrictions set forth therein. In addition, any such certificate may have notations, additional legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, and agreements to which the Corporation and all of the Holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock in their capacity as Holders are subject, if any.

2.	Dividends.

(a)Holders of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and the Corporation shall pay, out of funds lawfully available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate per share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock equal to the Series A-4 Dividend Rate (the “Series A-4 Dividend”). The “Series A-4 Dividend Rate” shall mean fourteen and one-half percent (14.50%) per annum on the then-applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined herein). The period from the closing date of the issuance of the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock (the “Issuance Date”) to and including June 30, 2024, and each period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period.” “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2024.

(b)Series A-4 Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears at the Series A-4 Dividend Rate and shall compound quarterly and accumulate, whether or not earned or declared, from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issuance Date (subject, in each case, to the Unpaid Dividend Accrual).

Annex V to A&R Charter | 3

(c)If a Series A-4 Dividend is declared by the Board of Directors, then such Series A-4 Dividend shall be paid in cash. The Board of Directors shall not be required to declare any Series A-4 Dividends, and any declaration of a Series A-4 Dividend shall be solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(d)If a Series A-4 Dividend is not declared and paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, then in full discharge of such Series A-4 Dividend for such Dividend Period, the Liquidation Preference of each outstanding share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, regardless of its date of issue, shall automatically increase on such Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to sixteen percent (16.00%) per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date in respect of the first Dividend Period) (such automatic increase, the “Unpaid Dividend Accrual”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be pro-rated for the period of time elapsed during such Dividend Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the Unpaid Dividend Accrual that increased the Liquidation Preference during any historical Dividend Period can be paid by the Corporation in cash, out of funds lawfully available therefor, at any time as and if declared by the Board of Directors; provided that, after any such payment, the Liquidation Preference shall automatically decrease by the amount of such payment.

(e)All cash dividends paid or declared for payment on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be shared pro rata based on the then-current dividends due on shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of non-cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of cumulative Parity Stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of Parity Stock.

(f)Holders of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall fully participate, on an as-converted basis, in any dividends declared and paid or distributions on Common Stock as if the Series A-4 Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock as of the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the Conversion Ratio in effect on such record date.

3.	Liquidation.

(a)Prior to conversion pursuant to Section 7, in the event of a liquidation (complete or partial), dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of Series A-4 Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder”) shall be entitled to receive, in respect of any shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock held by them, out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation or their assignees, and subject to the rights of any outstanding shares of Senior Stock and before any amount shall be distributed to the holders of Junior Stock, a liquidating distribution (the “Liquidation Distribution”) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then-applicable Liquidation Preference, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment for any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and (ii) the amount such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation. The “Liquidation Preference” shall equal $1,000 per share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, which amount shall be adjusted as the result of any Unpaid Dividend Accrual (or payment thereof), and as otherwise set forth herein. In addition, in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference shall be adjusted to include all accrued and unpaid dividends (at the Series A-4 Dividend Rate) between the immediately prior Dividend Payment Date (or the Issuance Date with respect to the first Dividend Period) and the date immediately prior to the effective date of such conversion or redemption. If, upon a Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the then

Annex V to A&R Charter | 4

outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A-4 Preferred Stock with respect to any distribution of assets upon Liquidation are insufficient to pay in full the amount of all such Liquidation Preference payable with respect to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock, then the holders of Series A-4 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

(c)After the payment in cash or proceeds to the Holders of the full amount of the Liquidation Distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have no right or claim, based on their ownership of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, to the remaining assets of the Corporation, if any. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors or liquidating trustee, as the case may be.

4.	Voting.

(b)Protective Provisions. In addition to any vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations, for so long as any of the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, take any of the following actions, including whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by the General Corporation Law, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or this Certificate of Designations), the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 ⅔%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class to:

(iv)declare or pay any dividends or other distributions in cash or property with respect to its Common Stock or other Junior Stock;

Annex V to A&R Charter | 5

(vi)redeem, repurchase, recapitalize or acquire shares of its Parity Stock other than (A) pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, (B) as a result of a reclassification of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock, (C) the exchange or conversion of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock or Junior Stock or (D) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Parity Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Parity Stock or the security being converted or exchanged.

If the Corporation shall propose to take any action enumerated above in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 4(b) then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice of such proposed action to each Holder of record appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. Such notice shall specify, inter alia (x) the proposed effective date of such action; (y) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such action, if applicable; and (z) the other material terms of such action. Such notice shall be given at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable date or effective date specified above. For the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in Houston, Texas or New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close. If at any time the Corporation shall cancel any of the proposed actions for which notice has been given under this Section 4(b) prior to the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall give prompt notice of such cancellation to each holder of record of the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said Holder shown therein. For the avoidance of doubt, if a holder of record of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock does not respond to the aforementioned notice, such non-response shall in no way be deemed to constitute the written consent or affirmative vote of such Holder regarding any of the aforementioned actions in this Section 4(b) or described within such notice.

5.	Reservation of Common Stock.

(a)At any time that any Series A-4 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall from time to time take all lawful action within its control to cause the authorized Capital Stock of the Corporation to include a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of outstanding Series A-4 Preferred Stock.

(b)If (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, subject to Section 5.02 (Information Statement) of the Purchase Agreement, dated on or about May 13, 2024, among the Corporation and the initial Holders (the “Purchase Agreement”), endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

6.	Uncertificated Shares.

The shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice as required by the General Corporation Law.

Annex V to A&R Charter | 6

7.	Conversion.

(a)Commencing on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Issuance Date, each Holder shall have the option from time to time, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Corporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A-1 (the “Conversion Notice”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, to convert all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (an “Optional Holder Conversion”); provided that the Corporation shall not be required to honor such request if such Holder has previously delivered a Conversion Notice, in respect of an Optional Holder Conversion, during the same fiscal quarter. The “Conversion Ratio” means, for each share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference as of the date of the conversion and (ii) the then applicable Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be $6.42, which may be adjusted from time to time as set forth herein.

(b)If based on the Corporation’s financial statements for any fiscal quarter and a reserve report as of the same date prepared by an independent reserve engineering firm as of the end of a fiscal quarter that, as of such date, (x) the PDP PV-20 value divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including the Series A-4 Preferred Stock), is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion Conditions”), then the Corporation shall have the option from time to time until such time that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are no longer satisfied (based on the Corporation’s financial statements for each subsequent fiscal quarter and the Corporation’s reserve report for each subsequent fiscal quarter (without the requirement that such reserve report is prepared by an independent reserve engineer)) or a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements that met the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, exercisable by delivery of written notice to the Holders at the address of such Holders shown on the stock books of the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2 (the “Issuer Conversion Notice”), to convert some or all outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock into Common Stock using the then applicable Conversion Ratio (the “Issuer Forced Conversion”).

(iii)“Working Capital Adjustments” means the Corporation’s current assets minus current liabilities.

Annex V to A&R Charter | 7

reasonably comparable hydrocarbon commodity for the full sixty (60) month period), with such prices held constant thereafter using at a price equal to the average of prices between the forty ninth (49th) month and sixtieth (60th) month, as such prices are (A) quoted on the NYMEX (or its successor) calculated as of a date not more than five (5) days prior to the date of determination and (B) adjusted for energy content, quality and basis differentials; provided that with respect to estimated future production for which prices are defined, within the meaning of SEC guidelines, by contractual arrangements excluding escalation based upon future conditions, then contract prices shall be applied to future production subject to such arrangements.

(d)Any Common Stock delivered as a result of conversion pursuant to this Section 7 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any preemptive right, liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the General Corporation Law, the Bylaws or transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and state securities laws. Immediately following the settlement of any conversion, if any, the rights of the holders of converted Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall cease and the Persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such shares of Common Stock. Concurrently with such conversion, the converted shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock formerly designated pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be restored to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

(e)If, after the Issuance Date, the Corporation (i) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in securities (including Common Stock) or other property or assets, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any securities (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, including a transaction contemplated by the proviso in clause (1) of the definition of Change of Control), then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock after such time shall entitle the holder to receive the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (or shares of any securities into which such shares of Common Stock would have been combined, consolidated, merged, reclassified or exchanged pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above) that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A-4 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or another constituent corporation is issuing equity securities in exchange for Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A-4 Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction or event either in the Corporation if the surviving corporation or in the constituent

Annex V to A&R Charter | 8

corporation. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Corporation is the surviving Person or a constituent corporation) or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(f)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, Change of Control, spin-off or other business combination (not otherwise addressed in Section 7(e) above) (a “Corporation Event”), the Corporation shall notify each Holder of such event (such notice to set forth in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Corporation Event and the securities, cash or other assets, if any, which a holder of Series A-4 Preferred Stock and Common Stock (each on a per share basis) would receive upon the consummation of such event, to the extent known by the Corporation at the time); provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide any holder with information that is otherwise not publicly available.

(h)The Corporation shall pay any and all issue, documentary, stamp and other taxes, excluding any income, franchise, property or similar taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of Series A-4 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. However, the holder of any Series A-4 Preferred Stock shall pay any tax that is due because Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are issued in a name other than such holder’s name.

(i)No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A-4 Preferred Stock. All Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall not issue a fractional share of Common Stock but shall round the fractional share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share of Common Stock (and a 0.5 of a share of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next higher share of Common Stock).

8.	Redemption.

The Corporation may exercise its redemption option under this Section 8(a) by delivery of written notice to the Holders in the form attached as Annex B (the “Redemption Notice”), provided, however, that, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Redemption Notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to convert the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock subject to such Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 7(a). Such redemption shall be completed on a date specified in the Redemption Notice, which shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the Redemption Notice. If the Corporation redeems only a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock subject to such redemption shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock.

(b)Change of Control.

(i)At any time on or prior to the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, at the option of the Corporation, either (A) each Holder shall have all of their shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock redeemed in exchange for, exchanged for or converted into the right to receive a cash payment per share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price as of such date or (B) each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the Liquidation Preference as of such date multiplied by one hundred and seven point five percent (107.5%) and (2) the VWAP over fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the closing of the Change of Control transaction.

(ii)At any time after both the one hundred fiftieth (150^th) day following the Issuance Date and the end of the Term Loan Restricted Period, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall offer each Holder a cash payment per share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock equal to the Redemption Price (the “Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer”); provided, however, that, notice of such Mandatory CoC Redemption Offer shall be provided to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction the same form and amount of consideration such Holder would have received pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement if, immediately prior to the record date for payments relating to such Change of Control, such share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock had been converted into a number of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio (“CoC Conversion Consideration”).

Annex V to A&R Charter | 10

Series A-4 Preferred Stock it holds equal to the Redemption Price (the “Optional CoC Redemption Offer”). The Corporation shall notify each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Change of Control if it is electing to exercise the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, and the Holders shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such notice to, in lieu of being paid the cash Redemption Price, elect to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control. If the Corporation does not elect to offer the Optional CoC Redemption Offer, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the CoC Conversion Consideration from the acquirer in the Change of Control transaction in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control.

(iv)(A) a “Change of Control” means (1) the consummation of any transaction by the Corporation the result of which is that any Person or “group” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than any Permitted Holder, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Corporation, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, units or the like; provided that a transaction in which the Corporation becomes a subsidiary of another Person shall not constitute a Change of Control if, immediately following such transaction, the Persons who were beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the voting stock of such other Person of whom the Corporation has become a subsidiary or (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; and (B) the “Permitted Holder” means any holder of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock as of the Issuance Date and its affiliates.

(c)The Holders and the Corporation agree that each will cooperate in good faith to determine the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any redemption by the Corporation of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and will (and will cause its affiliates to), in connection with any such redemption, reasonably cooperate (i) to structure such redemption in a manner that permits each Holder to report the redemption payment as received in part or full payment in exchange for its Series A-4 Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such structure can be achieved without any unreimbursed cost or expense to the Corporation (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holders and the Corporation acknowledge (A) that it may not be possible to structure any such redemption in a manner that permits a Holder to report a redemption payment as received in part or full payment in exchange for its Series A-4 Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case the Corporation shall still be entitled to make any such redemption pursuant to this Section 8 as it determines is appropriate (and in the amounts it determines is appropriate) and (B) that different Holders may be subject to different treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes), (ii) to allow each Holder a reasonable opportunity to transfer its Series A-4 Preferred Stock to an affiliate or third party prior to such redemption; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to assist in such transfer (other than in respect of registering such transfer on the books and records of the Corporation) and, for the avoidance of doubt, such transfer shall be subject to the other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, and (iii) if such redemption is funded by, or occurs in connection with, an issuance of equity by the Corporation, to cause the Person or Persons acquiring such equity to purchase the Series A-4 Preferred Stock from the Holders directly and to make any necessary amendments to this Certificate of Designations following such purchase as agreed between such purchaser(s) and the Corporation. If, as a result of the previous sentence, any such redemption of shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock is delayed for more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation otherwise planned to make such redemption (the “30 Day Date”) and the redemption occurs, the Series A-4 Dividend shall stop accumulating (including with respect to any Unpaid Dividend Accrual) on the shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed from the 30 Day Date until the date of such redemption and the Redemption Price for such redemption shall be that applicable at the 30 Day Date. The Corporation further agrees that, for every taxable year in which the Series A-4 Preferred Stock remains outstanding (other than tax year 2024), it shall use reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or update its current “earnings and profits study” (or similar analysis) to determine its then-current and accumulated earnings and profits.
