Common use of Titles, etc Clause in Contracts

Titles, etc. (a) Subject to the matters set out in Schedule 3.11, each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has good and defensible title, in all material respects, to the material Oil and Gas Properties that are evaluated in the most recently delivered reserve report, free and clear of all Liens, other than Excepted Liens. Except for immaterial divergences, after giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, the Company owns, in all material respects, the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests that are evaluated in the most recently delivered reserve report, and the ownership of such Hydrocarbon Interests shall not in any material respect obligate the Company to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Hydrocarbon Interest in an amount in excess of the working interest of such Hydrocarbon Interest (without a corresponding increase in net revenue interest). The Company does not believe, based upon information in its possession, that its most recently delivered reserve report materially overstates its oil and gas reserves, bearing in mind that reserves are evaluated based upon estimates and assumptions with respect to which reasonable minds of competent reserve engineers may differ.
