Subscription Agreements
On May 12, 2025, Tamboran Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription
Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors agreed to subscribe for and
purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, an aggregate of approximately 3.1 million
newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $55.4 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Offering”). Of the Offering, $44.4
million is expected to close on May 16, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The closing of the remaining
$11 million is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), within 30 calendar days after May 12, 2025, a registration statement registering the resale of the
shares of Common Stock (the “Registrable Securities”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such
registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar
day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the registration statement) following the closing of the Offering. The Company
is also obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period ending on the earlier of (A) the date the
Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities, (B) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Investor may be sold without
restriction under Rule 144, or (C) three years from the effective date of the registration statement.
The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the text of the Subscription Agreements filed as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K that are

On May 12, 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Tamboran (West) Pty Limited (“TR West”), as seller, the Company, as
seller guarantor, and Daly Waters Energy, LP (“DWE”) entered into an Asset Sale Agreement – Beetaloo Acreage Position (the
“Asset Sale Agreement”) with Elliot Energy I Pty Ltd. Pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement, DWE will acquire a non-operating and
non-controlling interest across 100,000 acres within two areas of TR West’s 77.5% interest in the applicable retention licenses for $15
million.
The foregoing description of the Asset Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to

Second Amended and Restated Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement
On May 12, 2025, the Company, TR West, TR Ltd., DWE and Tamboran (B1) Pty Ltd entered into a second amended and restated
joint venture and shareholders agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated JVSA”).
The following summarizes the material changes in the Second Amended and Restated JVSA from the amended and restated joint
venture and shareholders agreement dated June 3, 2024, filed as Exhibit 10.18 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2024:
The Company and DWE have signed a binding agreement to finalize the checkerboard of the joint acreage position across
EPs 76, 98 and 117.
In conjunction with the checkerboard, the Company and DWE entered into the Asset Sale Agreement whereby DWE will
acquire a non-operating and non-controlling interest in 100,000 acres within two areas for a consideration of $15 million, or
$150 per acre. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
On completion, the Company will have retained approximately 1.9 million net prospective, development-ready acres across
the Beetaloo Basin.
The Company has reserved 406,693 gross acres as the Phase 2 Development Area, located immediately north of the proposed
Pilot Area, where the Company plans to focus development on supplying gas into Australia’s East Coast domestic gas
market.
On completion of the sale to DWE, the Company is expected to hold 236,370 net acres (58.12% operated interest) over the
Phase 2 Development Area, with DWE (19.38%) and Falcon Oil & Gas (Australia) Limited (“Falcon”) (22.5%) holding the
remaining interest.
The Company will hold 77.5% operating interest in the ex-EP 76, 98 and 117 acreage, with Falcon holding the remaining
22.5% interest.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated JVSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the text of the Second Amended and Restated JVSA filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K that is
incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking” statements related to the Company within the meaning of Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus
involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “shall,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “commence,” “complete,” and the negatives of these words and other similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
It is possible that the Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors, including but
not limited to: our early stage of development with no material revenue expected until 2026 and our limited operating history; the
substantial additional capital required for our business plan, which we may be unable to raise on acceptable terms; our strategy to
deliver natural gas to the Australian East Coast and select Asian markets being contingent upon constructing additional pipeline
capacity, which may not be secured; the absence of proved reserves and the risk that our drilling may not yield natural gas in
commercial quantities or quality; the speculative nature of drilling activities, which involve significant costs and may not result in
discoveries or additions to our future production or reserves; the challenges associated with importing U.S. practices and technology to
the Northern Territory, which could affect our operations and growth due to limited local experience; the critical need for timely
access to appropriate equipment and infrastructure, which may impact our market access and business plan execution; the operational
complexities and inherent risks of drilling, completions, workover, and hydraulic fracturing operations that could adversely affect our
business; the volatility of natural gas prices and its potential adverse effect on our financial condition and operations; the risks of
construction delays, cost overruns, and negative effects on our financial and operational performance associated with midstream
projects; the potential fundamental impact on our business if our assessments of the Beetaloo are materially inaccurate; the
concentration of all our assets and operations in the Beetaloo, making us susceptible to region-specific risks; the substantial doubt
raised by our recurring operational losses, negative cash flows, and cumulative net losses about our ability to continue as a going
concern; complex laws and regulations that could affect our operational costs and feasibility or lead to significant liabilities;
community opposition that could result in costly delays and impede our ability to obtain necessary government approvals; exploration
and development activities in the Beetaloo that may lead to legal disputes, operational disruptions, and reputational damage due to
native title and heritage issues; the requirement to produce natural gas on a Scope 1 net zero basis upon commencement of commercial
production, with internal goals for operational net zero, which may increase our production costs; the increased attention to ESG
matters and environmental conservation measures that could adversely impact our business operations; risks related to our corporate
structure; risks related to our common stock and CDIs; the ability of the Company to satisfy the conditions to consummate the
Offering; and the other risk factors discussed in the this report and the Company’s filings with the SEC.
It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this document are based on certain
assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments, and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a
guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company
continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, the Company does
not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward-looking statements contained in this document.

(e)The execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of Tamboran pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Tamboran is a party or by which Tamboran is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Tamboran is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of Tamboran; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Tamboran or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, condition (including financial condition) or results of operations of Tamboran or materially and adversely affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority or ability of Tamboran to perform in any material respects its obligations hereunder (a “Tamboran Material Adverse Effect”).
(f)Tamboran is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term,
3


condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of Tamboran, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Tamboran is a party or by which Tamboran’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any law, statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Tamboran or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Tamboran Material Adverse Effect.
(g)Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, Tamboran, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Tamboran of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person, other than (i) filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) those required by the NYSE, and (iv) any required stockholder approvals.
(h)Tamboran is authorized to issue two classes of stock: Common Stock and preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Tamboran Preferred Stock”). The total number of shares of capital stock that Tamboran has authority to issue is 11,000,000,000 shares, of which the total number of shares of Common Stock that Tamboran is authorized to issue is 10,000,000,000 shares and the total number of shares of Tamboran Preferred Stock that Tamboran is authorized to issue is 1,000,000,000.

(i)As of their respective filing dates, all reports required to be filed by Tamboran with the SEC since June 26, 2024 (the “SEC Reports”) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. None of the SEC Reports, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of Tamboran included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Tamboran as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Subscriber via the SEC’s EDGAR system. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Tamboran (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
(j)Other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, Tamboran has established and maintains systems of internal accounting controls that are designed to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance that (i) all transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and (ii) all transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
4


preparation of proper and accurate financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to maintain accountability for Tamboran’s assets. Tamboran maintains, and has maintained, books and records in the ordinary course of business that are accurate and complete and properly reflect the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of Tamboran in all material respects.
(k)Since the date of the balance sheet included in Tamboran’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, there has been (i) no Tamboran Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no transaction which is material to Tamboran and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) no obligation or liability, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), incurred by Tamboran or its subsidiaries, which is material to Tamboran and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) no change in the capital stock or outstanding indebtedness of Tamboran and its subsidiaries, other than as described in the SEC Reports and Section 3(h) of this Subscription Agreement and (v) no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made on the capital stock of Tamboran or any of its subsidiaries.
(l)Tamboran and each of its subsidiaries maintain insurance covering their respective properties, operations, personnel and businesses as Tamboran reasonably deems adequate; such insurance insures against such losses and risks in accordance with customary industry practice to protect Tamboran and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses and which is commercially reasonably for the current conduct of their respective businesses; to Tamboran’s Knowledge, all such insurance is fully in force on the date hereof and is expected to be fully in force at each time of purchase, if any; neither Tamboran nor any subsidiary has reason to believe that it will not be able to (i) renew any such insurance as and when such insurance expires or (ii) obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in any Tamboran Material Adverse Effect. “Tamboran’s Knowledge” with respect to any statement means the actual knowledge, or knowledge that would have been acquired after reasonable inquiry, of the executive officers or directors of Tamboran.
(m)Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is required for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares by Tamboran to Subscriber.
(n)Neither Tamboran nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of applicable securities laws in connection with any offer or sale of the Acquired Shares.
(o)None of Tamboran, any of its subsidiaries nor any person acting on their behalf has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that is likely to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Tamboran to facilitate the sale or resale of the Acquired Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which could reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly violate Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
(p)Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Tamboran Material Adverse Effect, there is no proceeding pending, or, to Tamboran’s Knowledge, threatened against Tamboran or any judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against Tamboran.
(q)Except for placement fees payable to the Placement Agent (as defined within), Tamboran has not paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other fee
5


or commission in connection with its issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any equityholder or affiliate of Tamboran.
(r)None of Tamboran, its subsidiaries, any person acting on its behalf nor, to Tamboran’s Knowledge, any of its affiliates has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the applicable period set forth in Rule 152 promulgated under the Securities Act, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act in connection with the sale by Tamboran of the Acquired Shares as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the sale of the Acquired Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by Tamboran for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange on which any of the securities of Tamboran are listed or designated.
(s)Other than the Subscribers and the parties to the Sheffield RRA (as defined below), no person has any right to cause Tamboran to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any securities of Tamboran other than (i) those offers and sales which are currently registered on an effective registration statement on file with the SEC and (ii) such rights as have been temporarily waived.
(t)The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and Tamboran has taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has Tamboran received any notification that the SEC or the NYSE is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. Tamboran is, and immediately following the Closing will be, in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the NYSE.
(u)Neither Tamboran nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does Tamboran or any subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Tamboran and its subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes hereof, “Insolvent” means, with respect to any person, (i) the present fair saleable value of such person’s assets is less than the amount required to pay such person’s total indebtedness, (ii) such person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) such person intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) such person has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
(v)Neither Tamboran nor any subsidiary nor, to Tamboran’s Knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of Tamboran or any subsidiary is currently the target of or otherwise subject to any restrictions under, any sanctions administered or enforced by the United States, including without limitation, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”) or the U.S. Department of State; the United Nations Security Council; Canada; the European Union; the United Kingdom; or other government authority with jurisdiction over the parties (collectively, “Sanctions”). None of Tamboran or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject or target of country or territory-wide Sanctions, including, without limitation, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea or Syria (each, a “Sanctioned Country”). Tamboran and its subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds from the Acquired Shares, or
6

In the past five years, none of Tamboran nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents have engaged in or are now engaged in any dealings or transactions: (i) with, or involving the interests or property of, any person that, at the time of the dealing or transaction, was or is subject to restrictions imposed by any Sanctions or located, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country; or (ii) that are otherwise prohibited by Sanctions.

(x)Tamboran has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that Tamboran is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n)If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither Tamboran nor any of its affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”), has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Acquired Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Acquired Shares; (ii) the decision to invest in the Acquired Shares has been made at the recommendation or direction of an “independent fiduciary” within the meaning of US Code of Federal Regulations 29 C.F.R. section 2510.3 21(c), as amended from time to time (the “Fiduciary Rule”) who is (1) independent of the Transaction Parties; (2) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies (within the meaning of the Fiduciary Rule); (3) is a fiduciary (under ERISA and/or section 4975 of the Code) with respect to Subscriber’s investment in the Acquired Shares and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Acquired Shares; and (4) is aware of and acknowledges that none of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the purchaser’s or transferee’s investment in the Acquired Shares.

liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements related to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(q)Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has not received any recommendation with respect to the Subscription from the Placement Agent and thus will not be deemed to form a relationship with the Placement Agent in connection with the Subscription that would require the Placement Agent to treat Subscriber as a “retail customer” for purposes of Regulation Best Interest pursuant to Rule 11-1 of the Exchange Act, or a “retail investor” for purposes of Form CRS pursuant to Rule 17a-14 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to the protections or disclosures required by Regulation Best Interest or Form CRS with respect to the Subscription.

5.Registration Rights.
(a)Tamboran agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), confidentially submit or file with the SEC (at Tamboran’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Acquired Shares, and Tamboran shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the confidential submission or filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies Tamboran that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the tenth business day after the date Tamboran is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that Tamboran’s obligations to include Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are subject to Tamboran’s obligations under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 28, 2024, between Tamboran, Sheffield Holdings, LP, and each of the other signatories from time to time party thereto (the “Sheffield RRA”), Subscriber furnishing in writing to Tamboran such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of Tamboran held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by Tamboran to effect the registration of Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Tamboran may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Tamboran shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any “blackout period” not in excess of (i) 60 days in any 90-day period and (ii) 90 days in any 12-month period, if
11


Tamboran’s board of directors determines in good faith that such registration or offering could (i) materially interfere with a bona fide business, reorganization, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction of Tamboran or its subsidiaries; (ii) require disclosure of material non-public information that Tamboran has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) be reasonably likely to require premature disclosure of information, the premature disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect Tamboran. The blackout period will end upon the earlier to occur of, (i) in the case of a bona fide business, acquisition or divestiture or financing transaction, a date not later than 60 days from the date such deferral commenced, and (ii) in the case of disclosure of non-public information, the earlier to occur of (x) the filing by Tamboran of its next succeeding Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or (y) the date upon which such information otherwise is disclosed or becomes public knowledge, or as permitted hereunder. Any failure by Tamboran to confidentially submit or file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Tamboran of its obligations to confidentially submit or file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5 and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5(d). Tamboran will provide a draft Registration Statement to Subscriber for review upon written request (including by way of email) at least four (4) calendar days in advance of confidentially submitting or filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the Subscriber’s prior written consent. If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of the Acquired Shares hereunder as of the Filing Date, Tamboran shall (i) register the resale of the Acquired Shares on Form S-1 and (ii) register such Acquired Shares for resale on Form S-3 promptly after the use of such form becomes available and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC. If such Registration Statement is initiated and the managing underwriter advises Tamboran and the holders of Acquired Shares in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Registration Statement, including all Acquired Shares and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Tamboran Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration or takedown would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, Tamboran shall include in such Registration Statement (i) first, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein pursuant to the Sheffield RRA and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Acquired Shares hereunder, allocated pro rata among the Acquired Shares and such Common Stock issued to the Other PIPE Investors pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements or in such manner as they may otherwise agree.
(b)In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by Tamboran pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Tamboran shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense Tamboran shall:
(i)except for such times as Tamboran is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Tamboran determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Tamboran to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years
12


from the Effectiveness Date. The period of time during which Tamboran is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
(ii)advise Subscriber within two (2) business days:
(1)when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(2)of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(3)of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(4)of the receipt by Tamboran of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction; and
(5)subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tamboran shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding Tamboran other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Tamboran;
(iii)use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv)upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as Tamboran is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Tamboran shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which Tamboran Common Stock issued by Tamboran has been listed;
(vi)use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell Tamboran Common Stock under Rule 144; and
13


(vii)subject to receipt from Subscriber by Tamboran and its transfer agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Tamboran and the transfer agent in connection therewith, including, if required by the transfer agent, an opinion of Tamboran’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, upon Subscriber’s request, Tamboran will (following receipt of such customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Tamboran) reasonably cooperate with Tamboran’s transfer agent, such that any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such Acquired Shares will be removed from the book entry position evidencing its Acquired Shares following the earliest of such time as such Acquired Shares hereunder are either eligible to be sold (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) without restriction under, and without the requirement for Tamboran to be in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Tamboran shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel and all Depository Trust Company fees associated with such issuance.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Tamboran shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if it determines, upon the advice of outside legal counsel that the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Tamboran or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, Tamboran’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Tamboran in the Registration Statement of material information that Tamboran has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Tamboran’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Tamboran may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Tamboran of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Tamboran agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Tamboran that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Tamboran unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Tamboran, Subscriber will deliver to Tamboran or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(d)Indemnification.
14


(i)Tamboran agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Tamboran by Subscriber expressly for use therein.
(ii)In connection with any Registration Statement in which Subscriber is participating, Subscriber shall furnish to Tamboran in writing such information and affidavits as Tamboran reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Tamboran, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Tamboran (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of Subscriber shall be several and not joint with any other holders of Tamboran Common Stock and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(iii)Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv)The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
(v)If the indemnification provided under this Section 5(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect
15


of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
6.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.
7.Covenants.

3


the Acquired Shares or the legal authority or ability of Tamboran to perform in any material respects its obligations hereunder (a “Tamboran Material Adverse Effect”).
(f)Tamboran is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the organizational documents of Tamboran, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Tamboran is a party or by which Tamboran’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any law, statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Tamboran or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Tamboran Material Adverse Effect.
(g)Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, Tamboran, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Tamboran of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Acquired Shares), is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person, other than (i) filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) those required by the NYSE, and (iv) any required stockholder approvals.
(h)Tamboran is authorized to issue two classes of stock: Common Stock and preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Tamboran Preferred Stock”). The total number of shares of capital stock that Tamboran has authority to issue is 11,000,000,000 shares, of which the total number of shares of Common Stock that Tamboran is authorized to issue is 10,000,000,000 shares and the total number of shares of Tamboran Preferred Stock that Tamboran is authorized to issue is 1,000,000,000.

None of the SEC Reports, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of Tamboran included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Tamboran as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. A copy of each SEC Report is available to the Subscriber via the SEC’s EDGAR system. There are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by Tamboran (or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof) from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.

(j)Other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, Tamboran has established and maintains systems of internal accounting controls that are designed to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance that (i) all transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and (ii) all transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of proper and accurate financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to maintain accountability for Tamboran’s assets. Tamboran maintains, and has maintained, books and records in the ordinary course of business that are accurate and complete and properly reflect the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of Tamboran in all material respects.
(k)Since the date of the balance sheet included in Tamboran’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, there has been (i) no Tamboran Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no transaction which is material to Tamboran and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) no obligation or liability, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), incurred by Tamboran or its subsidiaries, which is material to Tamboran and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) no change in the capital stock or outstanding indebtedness of Tamboran and its subsidiaries, other than as described in the SEC Reports and Section 3(h) of this Subscription Agreement and (v) no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made on the capital stock of Tamboran or any of its subsidiaries.
(l)Tamboran and each of its subsidiaries maintain insurance covering their respective properties, operations, personnel and businesses as Tamboran reasonably deems adequate; such insurance insures against such losses and risks in accordance with customary industry practice to protect Tamboran and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses and which is commercially reasonably for the current conduct of their respective businesses; to Tamboran’s Knowledge, all such insurance is fully in force on the date hereof and is expected to be fully in force at each time of purchase, if any; neither Tamboran nor any subsidiary has reason to believe that it will not be able to (i) renew any such insurance as and when such insurance expires or (ii) obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in any Tamboran Material Adverse Effect. “Tamboran’s Knowledge” with respect to any statement means the actual knowledge, or knowledge that would have been acquired after reasonable inquiry, of the executive officers or directors of Tamboran.
(m)Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is required for the offer and sale of the Acquired Shares by Tamboran to Subscriber.
(n)Neither Tamboran nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of applicable securities laws in connection with any offer or sale of the Acquired Shares.
(o)None of Tamboran, any of its subsidiaries nor any person acting on their behalf has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that is likely to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Tamboran to facilitate the sale or resale of the Acquired Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which could reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly violate Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
(p)Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Tamboran Material Adverse Effect, there is no proceeding pending, or, to Tamboran’s Knowledge, threatened against Tamboran or any judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against Tamboran.

(q)Except for placement fees payable to the Placement Agent (as defined within), Tamboran has not paid, and is not obligated to pay, any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with its issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fee or commission payable to any equityholder or affiliate of Tamboran.
(r)None of Tamboran, its subsidiaries, any person acting on its behalf nor, to Tamboran’s Knowledge, any of its affiliates has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the applicable period set forth in Rule 152 promulgated under the Securities Act, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act in connection with the sale by Tamboran of the Acquired Shares as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the sale of the Acquired Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by Tamboran for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange on which any of the securities of Tamboran are listed or designated.
(s)Other than the Subscribers and the stockholders party to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 28, 2024, between Tamboran, Sheffield Holdings, LP, and each of the other signatories from time to time party thereto, no person has any right to cause Tamboran to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any securities of Tamboran other than (i) those offers and sales which are currently registered on an effective registration statement on file with the SEC and (ii) such rights as have been temporarily waived.
(t)The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and Tamboran has taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has Tamboran received any notification that the SEC or the NYSE is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

(u)Neither Tamboran nor any of its subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does Tamboran or any subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Tamboran and its subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below).

6


subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject or target of country or territory-wide Sanctions, including, without limitation, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea or Syria (each, a “Sanctioned Country”). Tamboran and its subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds from the Acquired Shares, or lend, or knowingly contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds: (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person that is the target of, or otherwise subject to restrictions under, any Sanctions; (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business in any Sanctioned Country; or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, initial purchaser, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions. In the past five years, none of Tamboran nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents have engaged in or are now engaged in any dealings or transactions: (i) with, or involving the interests or property of, any person that, at the time of the dealing or transaction, was or is subject to restrictions imposed by any Sanctions or located, organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country; or (ii) that are otherwise prohibited by Sanctions.
(w)The operations of Tamboran and its subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering and anti-terrorism financing statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving Tamboran or any subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to Tamboran’s Knowledge or the knowledge of any subsidiary, threatened or being investigated.
(x)Tamboran has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that Tamboran is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that Tamboran has not made and is not making in this Subscription Agreement any representation or warranty as to the U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences to such Subscriber as a result of such Subscriber’s purchase of the Acquired Shares.
(g)Subscriber represents and warrants that its acquisition and holding of the Acquired Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section
8


4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC Lists. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Acquired Shares were legally derived.

(q)Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has not received any recommendation with respect to the Subscription from the Placement Agent and thus will not be deemed to form a relationship with the Placement Agent in connection with the Subscription that would require the Placement Agent to treat Subscriber as a “retail customer” for purposes of Regulation Best Interest pursuant to Rule 11-1 of the Exchange Act, or a “retail investor” for purposes of Form CRS pursuant to Rule 17a-14 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to the protections or disclosures required by Regulation Best Interest or Form CRS with respect to the Subscription.

(b) DWE’s back-in right to the Gas Sale Agreements shall be on the following terms: (i) if the Gas Sale Agreement has already been signed by Tamboran, TBN or any of their Affiliates prior to the Amendment Date, the relevant party shall assign a 50% interest in the Gas Sale Agreement to DWE or its Nominee; (ii) DWE’s rights to a 50% interest shall be on the same terms and conditions that Tamboran, TBN or any of their Affiliates has under the relevant Gas Sale Agreement; (iii) Tamboran must notify DWE when it commences negotiations of any Gas Sale Agreement with any counterparty and must ensure that the Gas Sale Agreement contains terms that are consistent with this clause; (iv) DWE may elect to exercise its back-in right by notice in writing to Tamboran; and (v) Tamboran, TBN or any of their Affiliates must not sign any such Gas Sale Agreement unless and until DWE has been given no less than 10 Business Days’ notice and a copy of the final form of the Gas Sale Agreement (and if DWE elects to exercise its option to back-in to the Gas Sale Agreement, the parties must sign the Gas Sale Agreement at the same time). (c) This clause 13.9 will cease to apply in respect of a Gas Sale Agreement, or multiple Gas Sale Agreements, and will have no further effect if: (i) a party forms the reasonable view, supported by independent legal advice, at any time, that giving or continuing to give effect to this clause 13.9 may contravene any Law or any notice, order, regulation, direction or decision of any Government Agency; and (ii) that party gives written notice to that effect to the other party. (d) This clause survives termination or expiry of this Agreement. 13.10 Infrastructure (a) With effect from the Amendment Date, TBN and Tamboran (on behalf of TBN and Tamboran and each of their Affiliates) (Infrastructure Parties) grant DWE (or its Nominee) an irrevocable option to participate at an interest of 50%, on the same commercial terms as the relevant Infrastructure Party (or Infrastructure Parties) and any of its joint venture partners (if applicable), in any and all infrastructure projects

Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 53 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 Wells in accordance with Annexure E will, or will be reasonably likely to, cause DWE or its Affiliates to suffer loss and that Tamboran has agreed to the transfer of its interest in the South FSDA JV (including its interest in the South FSDA RL and its DSU Working Interest in any DSUs located within the South FSDA), or its interest in the South FSDA (if the South FSDA RL has not been granted), as set out in clause 13.12(b) to compensate DWE for that loss. (b) Subject to clause 13.12(c), if either: (i) Tamboran fails to fully participate in all Commitment Wells to the maximum of its Participating Interest and take its proportionate share of any non- consenting interest in the Commitment Wells that Falcon does not take up; (ii) the two Year 1 Commitment Wells have not been executed in compliance with the requirements of this Annexure E by the dates set out herein; (iii) the two Year 2 Commitment Wells have not been executed in compliance with the requirements of this Annexure E by the dates set out herein; or (iv) the two Year 3 Commitment Wells have not been executed in compliance with the requirements of this Annexure E by the dates set out herein, Tamboran covenants, at DWE’s sole election, to transfer its interest in the South FSDA JV (including its interest in the South FSDA RL and its DSU Working Interest in any DSUs located within the South FSDA), or its interest in the South FSDA (if the South FSDA RL has not been granted), to DWE for consideration of $1.00. (c) DWE’s right to elect to acquire Tamboran’s interest in the South FSDA JV (including its interest in the South FSDA RL and its DSU Working Interest in any DSUs located within the South FSDA), or its interest in the South FSDA (if the South FSDA RL has not been granted), does not apply in respect of any Commitment Wells that are being executed by DWE.

(e) To the extent that either TB2 remains the holder of the South FSDA RL, or the South FSDA RL is not granted, TBN and Tamboran each acknowledge that, should DWE require (or have a right to require) Tamboran to transfer its interest in the South FSDA JV (including its interest in the South FSDA RL and its DSU Working Interest in any DSUs located within the South FSDA), TB2 holds Tamboran’s interest in the South FSDA (including its DSU Working Interest in any DSUs located within the South FSDA) on trust for the benefit of DWE and must act on the direction of DWE in relation to such interest.

Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 54 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 cause DWE and/or its Affiliates to suffer loss in connection with the upstream Joint Ventures. (b) To compensate DWE and/or its Affiliates for that loss, if: (i) a DWE Midstream Party has assumed the role of Manager under the Unitholders’ and Shareholders’ Deed; and (ii) the Tamboran Midstream Parties fail to pay any cash call they are required to pay under the Unitholders’ and Shareholders’ Deed, and have not remedied that failure within 3 Business Days’ of notice under the Unitholders’ and Shareholders’ Deed, then: (iii) if the North FSDA RL has not been granted at that time, Tamboran covenants, at DWE’s sole election, to transfer its DSU Working Interest in the DSUs that fall within the North FSDA (North FSDA DSUs) to DWE for consideration of $1.00; or (iv) if the North FSDA RL has been granted at that time, Tamboran or TBN (whichever holds the interest in the North FSDA RL) covenants, at DWE’s sole election, to transfer its entire interest in the North FSDA RL (including its DSU Working Interest in each of the North FSDA DSUs) to DWE for consideration of $1.00. (c) The Shareholders, the Manager, TBN and the Group Companies must each: (i) take all action, including signing any documents and obtaining any consents or approvals, to give effect to any transfer contemplated by clause 13.13(b); and (ii) use their best endeavours to ensure that any Board or Shareholder approvals, votes or resolutions (including under the relevant JOA that governs the North FSDA JV) that are required to give effect to any transfer contemplated by clause 13.13(b) are obtained (including procuring that Tamboran or its Nominee vote in favour). (d) TBN and Tamboran each acknowledge and agree that until the relevant transfer has been completed, TB2 holds Tamboran’s DSU Working Interest in the North FSDA DSUs that are to be transferred to DWE under clause 13.13(b), or TBN and/or Tamboran holds its interest in the North FSDA RL, as applicable, on trust for the benefit of DWE and must act on the direction of DWE in relation to such DSU Working Interests or the North FSDA RL (as applicable). The Parties must take all actions reasonably required to give effect to this. (e) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights under this clause 13.13 are in addition to any rights that the DWE Midstream Parties may have under the Unitholders’ and Shareholders’ Deed. 13.14 H&P Rig Sharing TBN must offer 2 rig slots to DWE, as Operator of the South FSDA, between April and October in Year 2 or Year 3 (or such other relevant year) for the drilling of the two (2) Commitment Wells, on a cost pass through basis. TBN and DWE shall enter into any agreements reasonably required in order to give effect to this. This clause survives termination or expiry of this Agreement.


 
Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 55 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 13.15 Royalty Buy-back TBN covenants in favour of DWE and its Affiliates that it will not exercise its rights to buyback any royalty, production payment or similar right held by Sheffield Holdings, LP, DWE or any of their Affiliates under a royalty agreement (or similar agreement) between TBN (or an Affiliate of TBN) and DWE (or an Affiliate of DWE) that exists as at the Amendment Date. 13.16 Expansion Principles (a) The parties acknowledge that TB2 has, or intends to, enter into the GTA and the GPA for the transport of gas on the SPP and the processing of gas through the SPCF. The SPCF may be owned by Affiliates of DWE and Tamboran, or by a third party. (b) The parties agree to co-ordinate their Operations on the North FSDA and the South FSDA, in relation to the operation of the GPA and the GTA and the interaction of those agreements with the gas fields within those permits, in accordance with the following key principles: (i) following the execution of the six Commitment Wells, unless DWE and Tamboran can agree production volumes from each of the North FSDA and the South FSDA to be transported and processed through the GTA and the GPA for each 12 month period, the North FSDA JV and the South FSDA JV shall each be responsible for 50% of the gas to be transported and processed by TB2 under the GTA and the GPA; (ii) the Operators of the North FSDA JV and the South FSDA JV will meet annually and work together on coordinating development, production, new well count and approval activities; (iii) where practicable, the North FSDA JV and the South FSDA JV will work to optimize their drilling campaigns; (iv) the Operators of the North FSDA JV and the South FSDA JV will meet weekly to share and collaborate on production forecasts to meet the joint production commitments; (v) the Operators will discuss in good faith the terms that apply to sharing contractors and service providers; (vi) the parties will discuss in good faith the terms that apply to production shortfalls and other operational matters; (vii) the co-ordination of Operations set out above shall always be subject to the terms of this Agreement and, in particular, Annexure E (unless otherwise agreed by Tamboran and DWE in writing). (c) DWE, Tamboran and TB2 agree to enter into a formal co-ordination agreement that gives effect to, and expands on, the co-ordination principles set out above. (d) Under the GTA and the GPA, TB2 has or will be granted a right of first refusal in relation to any capacity arising from an expansion of the SPP or the SPCF (ROFR). The parties have agreed that TB2 will make decisions in relation to the ROFR in accordance with the following key principles: (i) the Shareholders agree that the priority for any expansion capacity connected to the exercise of the ROFR is gas produced from the North FSDA and the South FSDA; (ii) if both Shareholders agree that TB2 should exercise a ROFR that it is offered, the Shareholders shall take all steps required so that TB2 exercises its ROFR and secures the additional capacity in the SPP and the SPCF. The


 
Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 56 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 gas production that feeds the expansion is to be produced from North FSDA and South FSDA unless otherwise agreed by the Shareholders; (iii) if only one of the Shareholders votes in favour of TB2 exercising its ROFR, the Shareholders shall take all steps required so that TB2 exercises its ROFR and secures the additional capacity in the SPP and the SPCF, and the Shareholder that voted in favour of the ROFR shall be granted the benefit of the ROFR and may source gas from any of its gas fields to make use of that expansion capacity (regardless of whether or not those fields are within the FSDA); (iv) the parties agree to share information and co-ordinate their Operations in relation to the use of the SPP and the SPCF, including in relation to any nominations; (v) the parties agree to make all decisions within a time frame that allows TB2 to comply with the GTA and/or the GPA; (e) DWE, Tamboran and TB2 agree to enter into a formal co-ordination agreement that gives effect to, and expands on, the ROFR principles set out above. 14. Conversion of DWE’s interest in the Company to a direct interest in the Joint Venture (a) At any time after the end of the Sole Funding Period, where the North FSDA RL has not been granted and/or the South FSDA RL has not been granted and transferred to DWE (or its Nominee) and Tamboran (or its Nominee), but before 31 December 2026, DWE may, by giving no less than 30 days’ written notice to Tamboran and the Company, elect to sell or swap to Tamboran, have the Company buy-back or otherwise convert (under a structure agreed between the Foundation Shareholders at the time, acting reasonably with a view to giving effect to this clause 14) its shareholding in the Company in consideration for an equivalent direct Participating Interest in the Joint Venture and the JOA (i.e. if DWE ceased to hold an Equity Proportion of 50%, it would obtain half of TB2's participating interest in the Joint Venture), subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals, JOA approvals and third party approvals in relation to the transfer of the Joint Venture interest (an Equity Interest Transfer). (b) Within 10 Business Days’ of receipt of the notice referred to in clause 14(a), Tamboran may request that DWE, in its sole discretion, grants up to a 90 day window during which the parties agree not to progress the Equity Interest Transfer and to discuss a joint voting arrangement in respect of the JOA and whether DWE remains a shareholder of the Company. DWE may, on written request by Tamboran, extend this period by successive periods of up to 90 days (at its sole election). DWE may also, by notice to Tamboran, end any such period even if the agreed time period has not ended. (c) Upon the later of receipt of the notice referred to in clause 14(a) and the end of any extension period granted by DWE under clause 14(b), the Board shall meet and decide the structure to be implemented to give effect to the Equity Interest Transfer provided that, if the Board has not made a decision in relation to the structure of the Equity Interest Transfer within 60 days of the notice referred to in clause 14(a), DWE may determine the structure provided that the structure it elects to proceed with does not have a materially disproportionate effect on Tamboran (relative to the effect on DWE). For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that after the transfer contemplated by this clause 14 TB2 shall have a different voting percentage under the JOA, and shall not be able to control votes under the JOA, shall not be taken to be having a “materially disproportionate effect on Tamboran (relative to the effect on DWE)”.


 
Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 57 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 (d) Following determination of the structure to be implemented to give effect to the Equity Interest Transfer under clause 14(c), the Shareholders, the Manager and the Group Companies must use all reasonable endeavours to facilitate, progress and give effect to the Equity Interest Transfer as outlined in this clause 14 (including applying for and seeking any approvals and consents required in order to implement the Equity Interest Transfer, transferring the relevant interest in the Permits to DWE and entering into agreements to give effect to the Equity Interest Transfer). For the avoidance of doubt, where DWE makes an election under clause 14(a) and the Equity Interest Transfer completes, clause 13 will cease to apply. 15. Deadlock 15.1 Deadlock Event For the purposes of this clause 15, a Deadlock Event occurs if: (a) either Shareholder has refused or fails to give its approval to any matter requiring its approval under clause 8.2 or under the Constitution or as a matter of law, such consent having been requested in writing by the other Shareholder or the Board on at least two occasions in respect of the same matter; (b) a resolution reserved for Board approval is not passed at a duly convened meeting of the Board, and upon referral to a further Board meeting the Board again fails to pass the relevant resolution; (c) there is no quorum at three consecutive Board meetings; or (d) otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement. 15.2 Deadlock Notice If a Deadlock Event occurs and cannot be resolved by the Shareholders within 20 Business Days after the date on which a Deadlock Event occurs, any Shareholder may give written notice to the other Shareholders stating that the remaining provisions of this clause will apply in relation to that Deadlock Event (a Deadlock Notice). To be valid, a Deadlock Notice must be given within 10 Business Days after the end of the 20 Business Day period referred to above. If on the expiry of the 10 Business Day period referred to above, neither Shareholder has given a Deadlock Notice in relation to a Deadlock Event, that Deadlock Event will be deemed to have lapsed. 15.3 Circulation of memoranda Within 10 Business Days after the date of service of a Deadlock Notice, each of the Shareholders must prepare and send to the other Shareholder a memorandum stating its understanding of the Deadlock Event, its position in relation to the Deadlock Event, its reasons for taking that position and any proposals for resolving the Deadlock Event. 15.4 Referral to chairs If within 20 Business Days after the date of service of a Deadlock Notice the Shareholders fail to resolve the Deadlock Event, each Shareholder must: (a) provide to its managing director or chairperson of directors copies of all the memoranda referred to in clause 15.3; and (b) procure that its managing director or chairperson of directors, as soon as reasonably practicable, meets with the other Shareholder's managing director or chairperson of directors to discuss the Deadlock Event and uses all reasonable endeavours to resolve it within 30 Business Days after the date of service of the Deadlock Notice.

(c) Each Party may extend the right to use this Well Data to members of joint ventures or production sharing arrangements in which such party or its Affiliates have an ownership or equity interest, provided that each such member agrees in writing to keep the Well Data in confidence at least to the same extent as required in clause 32 and to use the Well Data only for the benefit of that joint venture or production sharing arrangement. (d) For the avoidance of doubt, there are no limitations to DWE or Tamboran negotiating a data sharing agreement with third-parties and/or otherwise entering agreements to provide data for purposes that party consider to be beneficial to their interests (with reasonable provisions for data anonymisation if data is to be used in any publicly available material). (e) DWE and Tamboran agree to ensure that any JOA or New Area JOA entered into as part of the Checkerboard Strategy includes a similar clause to this. 17.

(b) The parties shall use their best endeavours to have Falcon consent to the registration of a mortgage granted by TB2 over the Permits in connection with the Origin Royalty Deed, to procure the release of the parent company guarantee provided by TBN (in accordance with the terms of the Origin Royalty Deed). (c) Subject to clause 19.4(f), for the period until the parent company guarantee referred to in clause 19.4(a) is released or not able to be claimed against and whilst DWE remains a Shareholder, DWE shall be liable for 50% of any and all actions, causes of action, suits, rights, covenants, contracts, controversies, omissions, promises, damages, losses, penalties, expenses, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, brought against TBN under the parent company guarantee provided under the Origin Royalty Deed (including subsequently under clause 19.4(d)) (for the purpose of this clause 19.4, a ‘Royalty Claim’). (d) If, as part of the implementation of the Checkerboard Strategy under clause 13, or as part of the conversion of DWE’s interest in the Company to a direct interest in the Joint Venture under clause 14, DWE (or an Affiliate) is required under the Origin Royalty Deed to procure a parent company guarantee in connection with the transfer of an interest in all or part of any of the Permits, TBN agrees to either extend any parent company that is currently in place or to provide a new parent company guarantee, guaranteeing the obligations and liabilities of DWE (or its Affiliate) as is required or permitted under the Origin Royalty Deed (Replacement Guarantee). (e) Subject to clause 19.4(f), for the period until any of the parent company guarantees referred to in clause 19.4(d) are released or not able to be claimed against, DWE shall be liable for any and all Royalty Claims brought against TBN under the relevant parent company guarantee (unless the parent company guarantee also partly relates to an interest held by TBN (or an Affiliate) in which case DWE’s liability shall be limited to its proportionate participating interest in the relevant Permit in respect of which the parent company guarantee has been given). (f) DWE shall not be liable for any Royalty Claims in excess of its 50% share of $A5 million for the Royalty Security Post-Registration Period (as that term is defined in the Origin Royalty Deed) in aggregate in respect of all parent company guarantees that are in place, or subsequently put in place, under this clause 19.4 (Royalty Cap). (g) TBN agrees to indemnify and hold harmless DWE and the Company for any amounts claimed under the Origin Royalty Deed and brought against TBN under the parent company guarantee in excess of the Royalty Cap and: (i) unconditionally and irrevocably releases and forever discharges DWE and the Company from all liability in respect to any Royalty Claims brought against TBN in excess of the Royalty Cap; and (ii) covenants not to bring or commence or seek to enforce or reinstate any claims against DWE (or any of its Affiliates) and the Company arising out of or in any way related to the matters the subject of the release in clause 19.4(g)(i). (h) As soon as practicable after signing this Agreement and prior to the Effective Date, the parties agree to enter into a side deed that: (i) reflects the agreed principles in this clause 19.4 in relation to the parent company guarantees; and


 
Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 64 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 (ii) applies in the event that DWE is no longer a Shareholder where that occurs as a result of implementation of the Checkerboard Strategy under clause 13, or as part of the conversion of DWE’s interest in the Company to a direct interest in the Joint Venture under clause 14. 19.5 Default in paying cash call (a) The Manager must immediately (within 1 Business Day) issue all Shareholders with a written notice if a Shareholder fails to make a cash call by the due date for payment and provide a notice to the defaulting Shareholder to remedy within a further 3 Business Days. (b) Where a Shareholder fails to make a cash call payment by the period provided for remedy under clause 19.5(a) (Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder), the other Shareholder may elect to (without prejudicing any of its rights) make such contribution on behalf of the Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder by written notice to the Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder (Cash Call Contributing Shareholder) and the Manager within 10 Business Days of the time for remedying payment of the relevant cash call expiring. (c) Contributions and payments made by the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder under clause 19.5(b) are each a Cover Payment. If the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder makes more than one Cover Payment, the Cover Payments of the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder are aggregated and the rights and remedies described herein pertaining to an individual Cover Payment will be made to apply to the aggregated Cover Payments. (d) Each Cover Payment will constitute indebtedness due from the Cash Call Non- contributing Shareholder to the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder, as the case may be, which indebtedness will be payable on demand and will bear interest from the date incurred to the date of payment at the Agreed Interest Rate (as defined in the JOA). However, until the Cover Payment or Cover Payments are repaid by the Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder (together with any accrued interest), the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder may (at any time) on notice to the Cash Call Non- contributing Shareholder, elect to dilute the Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder in accordance with clause 19.6. On making such an election, the Cash Call Non- contributing Shareholder’s indebtedness will be deemed to be fully discharged to the extent of the election so made. 19.6 Dilution If the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder elects to dilute the Cash Call Non-contributing Shareholder in accordance with clause 19.5(d), then an amount equal to the Cover Payments made by the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder are deemed to have been contributed by the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder as equity funding provided to the Company in accordance with this agreement on the basis that for each $1 of Cover Payments funding by the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder, 1 Share will be issued to the Cash Call Contributing Shareholder. 19.7 Third party financing (a) Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, if further financial requirements are to be provided by Third Parties to the Company (Third Party Financing), then the Shareholders agree that it is desirable to structure Third Party facilities so that no guarantees or indemnities are required to be given by any Shareholder. (b) If a Shareholder (Supporter) provides a guarantee or collateral security in support of the Company’s Third Party Financing, and to the extent that the other Shareholders consented to the Third Party Financing and such guarantee or security in writing prior to the financing being obtained, the other Shareholders must keep the Supporter indemnified against its liability under the security or collateral guarantee such that


 
Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 65 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 each Shareholder (including the Supporter) is liable up to its respective Equity Proportion. (c) Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it will enter into any form of priority Agreement or subordination Agreement (or both) that is reasonably required by Third Parties in relation to any Third Party Financing, to the extent that such Shareholder consented to the Third Party Financing in writing prior to the financing being obtained by the Company. 20.

Hamilton Locke Joint Venture and Shareholders Agreement 91 3461-1671-6089, v. 3 Schedule 2 – Fair Market Value 1. Calculation of Fair Market Value This Schedule 2 applies to a valuation of the Shares as required under this Agreement. (a) If an FMV Notice is given, then within 10 Business Days after the date of the FMV Notice the Shareholders must use their best endeavours to appoint an independent chartered accountant or an investment bank of good standing (Expert) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Shareholder’s and the Non-Defaulting Shareholder’s Shares based on the Valuation Principles. If the Parties fail to agree on an Expert then the Expert will be an independent chartered accountant from the Auditor of the Company at that time. (b) The Shareholders undertake to sign the Expert’s terms of engagement, provided that the terms of engagement are not inconsistent with this Schedule 2. (c) The Shareholders must instruct the Expert to: (i) accept submissions from each Shareholder made within 10 days of the date of the Expert’s appointment; (ii) determine the Fair Market Value of the Shares in accordance with the Valuation Principles and the other terms set out in this Schedule 2; and (iii) issue to each Shareholder and the Company a certificate specifying the Fair Market Value determined by the Expert as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days following the Expert’s appointment. (d) The Shareholders must procure that the Company and the Board provide the Expert with full access at all reasonable times to the financial records and other records of the Company, staff, external accountants and Auditors (if the Company has appointed auditors). (e) The Shareholders must, and must procure that the Board and the Company, promptly provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by the Expert. (f) The Shareholders agree that: (i) in determining the Fair Market Value, the Expert acts as an expert and not as an arbitrator; and (ii) the decision of the Expert, as set out in the certificate provided under clause Schedule 21(c)(iii) of this Schedule 2, is final and binding on each of the Shareholders in the absence of fraud or manifest error. (g) Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Company must equally bear the costs of the Expert. 2.
