The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell Common Stock and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act.

As used herein, the term "Permitted Encumbrances" means: (i) matters described in the SEC Filings or reflected in the Financial Statements; (ii) royalties, overriding royalties, net profits interests, production payments and other burdens on production which do not materially reduce the Company's or its Subsidiaries' net revenue interest in any of the Oil and Gas Properties to less than the interest included in the information in the Financial Statements, (iii) liens for taxes, assessments, labor and materials where payment is not delinquent, (iv) operating agreements, unit agreements, unitization and pooling designations and declarations, gathering and transportation agreements, processing agreements, gas, oil and liquids purchase, sale and exchange agreements, exploration and development agreements, surface agreements, farmout agreements and other similar agreements, provided they do not have a material adverse effect on the ownership of the Oil and Gas Properties or increase the cost burden applicable to any such property in excess of the cost burden included in the information in the Financial Statements, (v) regulatory authority of governmental agencies not presently or previously materially violated, (vi) easements, surface leases and rights, plat restrictions and similar encumbrances, provided that they do not detract from the value, or materially increase the cost of operation of any of the Oil and Gas Properties, (vii) liens, encumbrances and rights granted or arising in connection with the Dolphin Transaction; and (viii) liens, charges, encumbrances and irregularities in the chain of title which, because of remoteness in or passage of time, statutory cure periods, marketable title acts or other similar reasons, have not affected or interrupted, and are not reasonably expected to affect or interrupt, the claimed ownership of the Company or the receipt of production revenues from the Oil and Gas Properties affected thereby, and any other encumbrance or claim which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
. All material Contracts are valid, binding and enforceable against the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, to the knowledge of the Company, are valid, binding and enforceable against the other party or parties thereto and are in full force and effect with only such exceptions as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the knowledge of the Company, other than taxes which the Company or its Subsidiaries are contesting in good faith and for which the Company or such Subsidiaries have provided adequate reserves, there is no claim against the Company or its Subsidiary for any taxes (including any penalties and interest), and no assessment, deficiency or adjustment has been asserted or proposed that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries carries insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is customary for persons of a similar size in the businesses in which they are engaged.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions to be performed by the Purchaser have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the
8 |
part of the partners of the Purchaser, and no other partnership proceedings are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser or to consummate the Transactions to be performed by the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming this Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Company, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 4.2 - Consents and Approval; No Violation
. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser, the consummation of the Transactions to be performed by the Purchaser, nor compliance by the Purchaser, with any of the provisions hereof will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the Purchaser’s organizational documents, (ii) require any material consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for consents, approvals, authorizations, permits, filings or notifications which have been obtained or made, or (iii) result in a default (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material agreements or violate any material order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, which may adversely effect the Transactions or Purchaser's performance hereunder.

(a)
Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current needs and possible contingencies, and has no need now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Securities.

(b)
Purchaser recognizes that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk which may result in the loss of the total amount of the investment. Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware of and has carefully considered all risks incident to the purchase of the Securities, including without limitation those discussed in Schedule 4.3(b).
(c)
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account (as principal) for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

9 |
(d)
PURCHASER IS AWARE THAT IT MUST BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF ITS INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE SOLD UNLESS THEY ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION OR EXCEPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE AND, FURTHER, THAT ONLY THE COMPANY CAN TAKE ACTION TO REGISTER THE SECURITIES. PURCHASER ALSO RECOGNIZES THAT NO FEDERAL OR STATE AGENCY HAS PASSED UPON THE SECURITIES OR MADE ANY FINDING OR DETERMINATION AS TO THE FAIRNESS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.
(e)
Purchaser (i) acknowledges receipt of sufficient information from the Company concerning the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in order for Purchaser to make a fully informed investment decision, (ii) has had the opportunity to review and obtain copies of any information which the Company possesses and is desired by Purchaser relating to the Securities and the Company and its Subsidiaries (including without limitation copies of the SEC Filings), and (iii) has been given the opportunity to meet with officials of the Company and to have said officials answer any questions regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment, and all such questions have been answered to Purchaser’s full satisfaction. While the Company has attempted to provide information that is as accurate as possible, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its representatives cannot and do not make any assurances, representations or warranties with respect to any such information, except for the representations expressly set forth herein. All information described in this Section 4.3(e) and otherwise reviewed by Purchaser concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation the information included in the SEC Filings, is qualified in all respects by the Risk Factors discussed in Schedule 4.3(b). The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to enable it to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. In addition, in reaching the conclusion that it desires to acquire the Securities, Purchaser has carefully evaluated its financial resources and investments, has consulted with such legal, accounting and other experts as necessary or appropriate, and acknowledges and represents that Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of this investment. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that none of the information provided or made available by or on behalf of the Company constitutes any legal, tax or investment advice.
(f)
Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Purchaser will provide to the Company such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company to enable it to satisfy itself as to such status and the knowledge and experience of Purchaser and its ability to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
(g)
All representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement and all other oral or written information provided by Purchaser to the Company is and are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the acceptance of this Agreement, Purchaser will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.
10 |
(h)
The address and social security number or federal tax identification number set forth on the signature page hereof is its true and correct state (or other jurisdiction) of residence and social security number or federal tax identification number. Purchaser has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction. Purchaser is not subject to backup withholding and will provide such forms and documents as may be required by the Company to evidence its exemption from backup or other withholding taxes and hereby consents to withholding of any applicable taxes from its distributions from the Company.
(i)
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that certain of the information that it has received regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries may be material, non-public information, and that Purchaser will not be able to trade in the Common Stock while in possession of such information until that information has been properly disseminated to the public or becomes immaterial to the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(j)
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if Purchaser is purchasing the Units in a fiduciary capacity, the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of the person or persons for whom the Purchaser is so purchasing and that the representations and warranties of the Purchaser as set forth herein shall continue in effect following the sale of the Units pursuant hereto. In the event that execution hereof by Purchaser is performed by any person as agent for or other representative of the Purchaser, such person represents that he is duly authorized and empowered to sign and deliver this document on behalf of the Purchaser in the capacity stated and that the Purchaser will be bound by this Agreement.
(k)
Purchaser acknowledges that it understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 4.3 and that the Company has relied and will rely upon such representations, warranties, covenants and certifications, AND PURCHASER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, CONTROLLING PERSONS, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY, JOINT OR SEVERAL, AND ANY ACTION IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO WHICH ANY SUCH PERSON MAY BECOME SUBJECT DUE TO OR ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF ANY OF PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS.

Section 5.8 - Registration Rights
(a)
Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a "shelf" registration statement (the "Common Shares Registration Statement") covering all Common Stock purchased hereunder (the "Registrable Common Shares") for a secondary or resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Common Shares Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or if such form is not available to the Company on another form appropriate for such registration in accordance herewith). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Common Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act not later than 180 days after the Closing Date (including filing, if appropriate, with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule l2d1-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act within five (5) business days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Common Shares Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not be subject to further review) and to keep such Common Shares Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all of the Registrable Common Shares covered by such Common Shares Registration
13 |
Statement have been sold or (y) three years from the date the Common Shares Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act; provided, that the effectiveness of the Common Shares Registration Statement may be delayed or suspended for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 60 days, if the Company determines that such registration or the transfer of the Registrable Common Shares would materially interfere with, or require premature disclosure of, any financing acquisition, reorganization or similar event involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Common Shares Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the Rules promulgated thereunder (including Securities Act Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Common Shares.
(b)
Within 90 days after the exercise of the Warrants by Purchasers for at least 50% of the total number of Warrant Shares, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a "shelf" registration statement (the "Warrant Shares Registration Statement") covering the Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise (the "Registrable Warrant Shares") for a secondary or resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Warrant Shares Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or if such form is not available to the Company on another form appropriate for such registration in accordance herewith). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act not later than 180 days after the Closing Date (including filing, if appropriate, with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule l2d1-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act within five (5) business days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Warrant Shares Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not be subject to further review) and to keep such Warrant Shares Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all of the Registrable Warrant Shares covered by such Warrant Shares Registration Statement have been sold or (y) three years from the date the Warrant Shares Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act; provided, that the effectiveness of the Warrant Shares Registration Statement may be delayed or suspended for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 60 days, if the Company determines that such registration or the transfer of the Registrable Warrant Shares would materially interfere with, or require premature disclosure of, any financing acquisition, reorganization or similar event involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Warrant Shares Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the Rules promulgated thereunder (including Securities Act Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Warrant Shares. As used herein, the Registrable Warrant Shares and Registrable Common Shares are referred to collectively as the "Registrable Shares".
(c)
For a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement to register any Common Stock (other than registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4) under the Securities Act for sale to the public, it will at each such time give written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of the Purchaser made within thirty (30) calendar days after the
14 |
receipt of any such notice (which request must specify the number of Registrable Shares which the Purchaser intends to dispose under this Section 5.8(c), the "Piggy-Back Shares"), the Company will use its best efforts to include the Piggy-Back Shares in such registration and to cause such registration to become effective; provided, however, that if the offering is underwritten and the managing underwriter shall state in writing that inclusion of all or any of the Piggy-Back Shares would, in such managing underwriter’s opinion, materially interfere with the proposed distribution and marketing of the Common Stock with respect to which the registration was originally to be effected (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the maximum number of Piggy-Back Shares which may be distributed without such interference), then the Company may, upon written notice to the Purchaser, have the right to exclude from such registration such number of Piggy-Back Shares which it would otherwise be required to register hereunder as is necessary to reduce the total amount of Common Stock to be so registered to the maximum amount set by the managing underwriter; and provided further, that if such registration includes shares being offered by other selling shareholders, any reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the registration as recommended by the managing underwriter shall be shared prorata among Purchaser and such other selling shareholders (subject to any superior rights of such other selling shareholders) based upon the number of shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by each such selling shareholder (including Purchaser) as compared to the total number of shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by all selling shareholders (including Purchaser). As used herein, the Common Shares Registration Statement, the Warrant Shares Registration and any registration statement covering Piggy-Back Shares are referred to as the "Registration Statements".
(d)
The costs and expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions related to the Registrable Shares included in the applicable Registration Statement which shall be the responsibility of Purchasers) of the registrations under the Securities Act and of all other actions the Company is required to take or effect pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be paid by the Company (including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and expenses of complying with Blue Sky laws, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of independent public accountants).
(e)
No such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto shall be filed under this Section 5.8 by the Company until Purchasers and one counsel representing all of them shall have had a reasonable opportunity of not less than five (5) days to review the same and to approve or disapprove any portion of the Registration Statement describing or referring to Purchasers.
(f)
The Company shall furnish to Purchasers such number of copies of any such Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto and such number of copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by Purchasers.
(g)
The only representations and warranties a Purchaser shall be required to make in connection with any such underwriting or registration shall be with respect to each Purchaser’s ownership of the Registrable Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or adverse claims and such
15 |
other customary representations and warranties reasonably requested by the underwriters, if any, and each Purchaser shall not be required to make any indemnity in connection therewith, except with respect to any misrepresentation by such Purchaser with respect to such underwriting or registration or any information provided by such Purchaser to the Company or any underwriter in connection therewith.
(h)
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.8 with respect to the Registrable Shares that each Purchaser shall:
(i)
Furnish to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the number of the Registrable Shares owned by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares, and to cooperate with the Company in preparing such Registration Statement;
(ii)
Agree to sell its Registrable Shares to the underwriters at the same price and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Company or the other persons on whose behalf any Registration Statement was being filed have agreed to sell their securities, and to execute the underwriting agreement; and
(iii)
Pending any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or related prospectus, each such Purchaser shall cease making offers or transfers of Registerable Shares pursuant to the prior prospectus.
(i)
The Company may at its discretion include for registration in any Registration Statement shares of Common Stock owned by selling shareholders other than the Purchasers (the "Other Selling Shareholders") so long as the total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in such Registration Statement on behalf of such Other Selling Shareholders does not exceed the total number of Registrable Shares being registered under such Registration Statement.
(a)
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or in any of the schedules or exhibits attached hereto, (ii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing.
(b)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any of the related schedules or exhibits, or (ii) any and all third
16 |
party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing.

Risk Factors
Investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk, including the possible loss of the entire investment. No guarantee or representation is or can be made as to the Company's performance. The Company encourages each Purchaser to seek advice from legal, accounting and financial professionals prior to purchasing the Securities. In considering investing in the Securities, each Purchaser should carefully review and consider the terms of this Agreement, the SEC Filings and the other information provided by the Company, and the investment considerations and risks associated with this investment including, but not limited to, the following (references to the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" refer to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and references to "Purchaser" are to each Purchaser and to the Purchasers as a group as the context may require):
Lack of Operating History
In recent years, the Company has substantially changed its business plan. As a result, the Company's operating history under its current business plan is limited. Such limited operating history of the Company and its Subsidiaries may not provide sufficient information for Purchaser to base an evaluation of likely performance.
Acquisition Risks
Much of the Company's recent growth has been the result of acquisitions of oil and gas properties. The Company anticipates that it will continue to evaluate and pursue acquisition opportunities. To the extent such opportunities are not available to the Company on terms acceptable to management or if the properties acquired do not produce results as anticipated, the Company's ability to sustain such growth may be adversely effected.
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | S-1 | Schedule 4.3(b) |
Risks Related to Projections and Estimates
All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in the SEC Filings, or any other information provided to a potential investor regarding the financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are projections and estimates based upon current information available to the Company. While we believe that such projections and estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions, there are significant risks and uncertainties that could significantly effect expected results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the projections and estimates include, without limitation, the Risk Factors discussed herein, and many of those factors are beyond our control. All written and oral projections and estimates and "forward looking" statements attributable to the Company, whether contained in the SEC Filings or otherwise, are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. Purchaser should expect the assumptions and related projections and estimates to change as additional information becomes available. However, the Company does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections and estimates provided to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such information or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Purchaser should carefully review and consider the assumptions and estimates, and obtain the advice of legal and accounting experts and other professionals regarding these matters. Actual results may differ materially from any business descriptions and operating estimates contained in the information provided or available to Purchaser.
Determination of Offering Price
The Purchase Price for the Securities was determined arbitrarily by the Company, based upon, among other things, the short-term capital needs of the Company and recent market prices for the Common Stock. However, the Purchase Price should not be considered as any indication of the future market price or value of the Common Stock or the other Securities.
Dependence On Key Personnel
The Company depends to a large extent on the services of its executive officers and the officers. The loss of the services of any of those persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Volatility of Oil and Gas Prices
The Company's financial results will be affected by the price received for its oil and gas production. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Prices of oil and gas are subject to wide fluctuations in response to market uncertainty, changes in supply and demand and a variety of additional factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company. These factors include domestic and foreign political conditions, the overall level of supply of and demand for oil and gas, the price of imported oil and gas, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall economic conditions. The Company's future financial condition and results of operations will be affected by the prices received for oil and gas production. Any substantial or extended decline in the price of oil and gas would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | S-2 | Schedule 4.3(b) |
Availability of Capital Resources
Currently, the Company's capital resources are expected to be limited to the net proceeds from the sale of the Units and net income from operations of the Company. The Company does not currently have any cash flow with which to fund capital expenditures. In the event the Company's current capital resources, and any net cash flow from operations, are insufficient to fund the Company's operations and capital expenditures, the Company may be required to seek other sources of capital including debt or sales of equity. No assurance can be given that any other sources of capital will be available or economical, and a lack of capital resources may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Uncertainty of Estimates of Proved Reserves and Future Net Cash Flows
The Company relies upon, and information provided to Purchaser may include, reserve estimates of oil and gas properties. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the Company. Any reserve data provided to Purchaser or used by the Company are estimates only. Although the Company believes such estimates to be reasonable, reserve estimates are imprecise and should be expected to change as additional information becomes available. Furthermore, estimates of oil and gas reserves, of necessity, are projections based on engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be exactly measured, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Accordingly, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times may vary substantially. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the reserves will ultimately be produced or that the proved undeveloped reserves will be developed within the periods anticipated. Variances from such estimates could be material. In addition, estimates of future net revenues from proved reserves and the present value thereof are based upon certain assumptions about production levels, prices and costs, which may not be correct. The Company emphasizes with respect to such estimates that the discounted future net cash flows should not be construed as representative of the fair market value of the oil and gas properties. The meaningfulness of such estimates is highly dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they were based. Actual results may differ materially from the results estimated.
Nonoperating Risk
The Company does not operate all of the oil and gas properties in which it has an interest. As a result, the financial results from such non–operated properties will be dependent, in part, upon the ability of the operator. The development of and production from any such properties will be controlled by the operator and not the Company. Any such lack of control with respect to a significant portion of the Company's property may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results.
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | S-3 | Schedule 4.3(b) |
Other Oil and Gas Risks
Oil and gas properties are subject to hazards and risks inherent in the drilling for and production and transportation of oil and gas, any of which can result in loss of hydrocarbons, environmental pollution, personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of properties, and suspension of operations. Among those risks is the risk that no hydrocarbons will be found in commercial quantities. The Company's properties are also affected from time to time in varying degrees by political developments and federal, state and local laws and regulations, including environmental regulations. In particular, oil and gas production, operations and economics are or have been significantly affected by price controls, taxes and other laws relating to the oil and gas industry, by changes in such laws and by changes in administrative regulations. In addition, the discharge of oil, gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to significant liabilities for remediation under environmental regulations. The Company cannot predict how existing laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings, whether additional laws and regulations will be adopted, or the effect such changes may have on the Company's financial results.
Reserve Depletion Risk
With respect to any interest in oil and gas properties acquired by the Company, the volume of production from oil and gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Except to the extent successful development activities are conducted on the Company's properties, the reserves of the Partnership will decline as reserves are produced. There can be no assurance that the future development of the properties in which the Company owns or acquires an interest will result in additional reserves or that productive xxxxx at acceptable costs will be drilled.
High Risk in Exploratory Drilling
The highest risk to be encountered in the exploration for oil and gas is in the drilling of exploratory xxxxx, which are xxxxx drilled in a relatively unproven location, or an unproven zone or depth which involves a higher degree of risk. It is anticipated that the Company may drill or participate in the drilling of xxxxx in this high risk category and there is a substantial risk that dry holes will result on these proposed xxxxx.
Possible Offshore Drilling
The Company participates in the drilling or workover of xxxxx which involve offshore drilling operations. Offshore activities involve risks not encountered on land. Such risks include damage and interruption of operations resulting from storms and more frequent maintenance work and mechanical failures resulting from corrosion. Well blowouts with respect to offshore xxxxx usually involve greater damages in the form of pollution and greater well control costs. Offshore drilling rigs and production platforms are subject to damage from nautical collisions. All such risks are encountered both in shallow and deep water offshore activities, but costs and liabilities tend to be higher with respect to deep water drilling.
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | S-4 | Schedule 4.3(b) |
Competition
The Company will encounter substantial competition in the oil and gas business. Many competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities than the Company. The Company believes that its services will not come into direct conflict with those larger competitors, but to the extent it is placed in a competitive situation with such a competitor, the Company may be at a severe disadvantage.
Marketability of the Securities
The Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, the shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under applicable securities laws, and therefore cannot be transferred unless so registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. In addition, the market in the Common Stock is not actively traded, and the low volume of trading may have a significant effect on the trading price of the Common Stock unrelated to the performance of the Company. Due to the foregoing Purchaser may not be able to liquidate such shares when he desires to do so, and may be required to retain the investment for an indefinite period of time.
The Warrants will not be readily marketable, will not be redeemable at the option of the holder, have not been registered under applicable securities laws and we have no intention to so register those securities. Acquisition, ownership and transfer of the Warrants will be restricted in order for the Company to maintain an exemption from registration under applicable state and federal securities laws. There is no public market for the Warrants, and none is expected to develop. An investor must plan to retain the Warrants for an indefinite period of time.
Dilution
The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder and the exercise price of the Warrants represent a purchase price share per share of Common Stock that is in excess of the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock as of September 30, 2004. As a result, Purchaser may experience immediate dilution in the book value of the shares acquired, in which case the existing stockholders of the Company will have an immediate increase in the net book value of the partnership interests owned prior to this transaction.
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS AND RISKS DO NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN THIS INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE SEC FILINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY BEFORE DETERMINING TO INVEST IN THE SECURITIES.

EXHIBIT I
ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS
The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as hereinafter described. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Warrant.
1.
Special Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit I, the following definitions shall apply:
(A)
"Option" shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities, excluding rights, options or shares granted or issued to employees, vendors, officers, directors and executives of, and consultants or shareholders to, the Company in an amount not exceeding the number of Reserved Employee Shares.
(B)
"Original Issue Date" shall mean the date of this Warrant.
(C)
"Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
(D)
"Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 3 below, deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date, other than Reserved Employee Shares and other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:
(1)
by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; or
(2)
upon the exercise of Options.
(E)
"Reserved Employee Shares" shall mean shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers, directors, shareholders and executives of, and consultants or vendors to, the Company either directly as compensation or upon the exercise of options granted by the Company.
(F)
"Rights to Acquire Common Stock" (or "Rights") shall mean all rights issued by the Company to acquire Common Stock whether by exercise of a warrant, option or similar call, or conversion of any existing instruments, in either case for consideration fixed, in amount or by formula, as of the date of issuance.
2.
No Adjustment of Exercise Prices. No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares shall be made (i) unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 5 below) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, the
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | I-1 | Exhibit "I" |
issue of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, or (ii) if, prior to such issuance, the Company receives written consent from the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding Warrants agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
3.
Issue of Securities Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or Rights to Acquire Common Stock, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue; provided, however, that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 5 hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided, further, that in any such case:
(A)
No further adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(B)
Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option, Right or Convertible Security, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately to reflect the Purchase Price which would have been in effect had such Option, Right or Convertible Security (to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination) never been issued; and
(C)
In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Option, Right or Convertible Security, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Purchase Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted to such Purchase Price as would have been obtained had the Purchase Price adjustment that was originally made upon the issuance of such Option, Right or Convertible Security which were not exercised or converted prior to such change been made upon the basis of such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any such Option, Right or Convertible Security.
4.
Adjustment of Conversion Prices upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3, but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 7 or upon a stock split or combination as provided in Section 6), without consideration, or for a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or without the requisite consent contemplated by Section 2 hereof, then and in such event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment to such lesser price (calculated to the nearest cent).
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | I-2 | Exhibit "I" |
5.
Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Exhibit I, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
(A)
Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
(1)
insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;
(2)
insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; and
(3)
in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.
(B)
Options, Rights and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3, relating to Options, Rights and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing
(1)
the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options, Rights or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
(2)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, Rights or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
6.
Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
7.
Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue a dividend or
Mid: 010474\000001\449786.11 | I-3 | Exhibit "I" |
other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, by multiplying the Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
8.
Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that they would have received had the Warrant been exercised into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had thereafter retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period given application to all adjustments called for during such period, under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the Holder.
9.
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or Substitution. If the Warrant Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above), then and in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
10.
No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Exhibit I and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment to the extent required hereunder.
11.
Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Exhibit I, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and shall file a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based with its corporate records. The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request of the Holder furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Purchase Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant. Despite such adjustment or readjustment, the form of the Warrant, if the same shall reflect the initial or any subsequent Purchase Price, need not be changed in order for the adjustments or readjustments to be valid in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, which shall control.
