"Marketable Title" also means title as will obligate Buyer, as Seller's successor in title, to bear no greater "Working Interest" than the Working Interest for each of the Xxxxx identified on Exhibit "A" as being associated with each of the Properties, without increase throughout the productive life of the Xxxxx, except for any increase: (a) caused by Buyer, any of its affiliates, successors in title or assigns; (b) that also results in the Net Revenue Interest associated with the Well being proportionately increased; (c) caused by contribution requirements provided for under provisions similar to those contained in any operating agreement; (d) caused by orders of the appropriate regulatory agency having jurisdiction over a Property that are promulgated after the Effective Date and that concern pooling, unitization, communitization, or spacing matters affecting a particular Property; or, (e) otherwise set forth in Exhibit "A."

7.5.3 Seller has good and defensible title, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, to all of the Properties.
7.5.4 Buyer represents, acknowledges and warrants the following to Seller, and agrees that such representations, acknowledgements and warranties shall be automatically reconfirmed on the Closing Date:
(a) Buyer is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof as that term is used in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a manner which would require registration under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Buyer has read, understood and consulted with its legal counsel regarding the limitations and requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act. Buyer will offer, sell, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer the Shares, or any portion thereof, only if: (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and any and all applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws or in a transaction which is otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act and such laws; or (ii) pursuant to a valid exemption from registration;
Page 3 of 18
(b) Buyer recognizes that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Shares is registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Buyer may not sell the Shares without registering them under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws unless exemptions from such registration requirements are available with respect to any such sale;
(c) Buyer is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view toward resale, fractionalization or division, or distribution thereof, and it does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in its circumstances, financial or otherwise, or particular occasion or event which would necessitate or require the sale or distribution of the Shares. No one other than Buyer will have any beneficial interest in said securities;
(d) Buyer acknowledges that it
(i) is a “sophisticated investor”, and is either
(ii) an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the 1933 Act; or
(iii) is a non-“accredited investor” and is aware of, has received and had an opportunity to review (A) the (i) Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014; (ii) Seller’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended, September 30, 2014, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015; and (iii) Seller’s current reports on Form 8-K as filed on xxx.xxx.xxx, in each case (i) through (iii), including the audited and unaudited financial statements, description of business, risk factors, results of operations, certain transactions and related business disclosures described therein (collectively the “Disclosure Documents”) and an independent investigation made by it of Seller; (B) has, prior to the date of this Agreement, been given an opportunity to review material contracts and documents of Seller and has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Seller’s officers and directors and has no pending questions as of the date of this Agreement; and (C) is not relying on any oral representation of Seller or any other person, nor any written representation or assurance from Seller; in connection with Buyer’s acceptance of the Shares and investment decision in connection therewith. Buyer acknowledges that due to its receipt of and review of the information described above, it has received similar information as would be included in a Registration Statement filed under the 1933 Act and has certified the above in a Representation of Status;
(e) Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Buyer is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making an informed investment decision, and does not require a representative in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares;
(f) Buyer recognizes that an investment in Seller is a speculative venture and that the total amount of consideration tendered is placed at the risk of the business and may be completely lost. The ownership of the Shares as an investment involves special risks. Buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers regarding Seller and to request additional relevant information from a person or persons acting on behalf of Seller regarding such information; and has no pending questions as of the date of this Agreement;
(g) Buyer realizes that the Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Shares must not be accepted unless such Buyer has liquid assets sufficient to assure that such purchase will cause no undue financial difficulties and such Buyer can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies;
Page 4 of 18
(h) Buyer confirms and represents that it is able (i) to bear the economic risk of its investment, (ii) to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of its investment. Buyer also represents that it has (i) adequate means of providing for its current needs and possible personal contingencies, and (ii) has no need for liquidity in this particular investment;
(i) Buyer has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Shares for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for it;
(j) Buyer has not become aware of and has not been offered the Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to Buyers’ knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising;
(k) Buyer confirms and acknowledges that Seller is under no obligation to register or seek an exemption under any federal and/or state securities acts for any sale or transfer of the Shares by Buyer, and Buyer is solely responsible for determining the status, in its hands, of the Shares acquired in connection herewith and the availability, if required, of exemptions from registration for purposes of sale or transfer of the Shares;
(l) Buyer confirms that to its knowledge no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the Shares for investment or any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares; and
(m) Buyer agrees and confirms that such Buyer may have Section 16 and Schedule 13D/G filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) immediately upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and such Buyer agrees to take whatever action necessary to timely make and file such required filings with the SEC.
(n) The Shares to be issued to Buyer have not been registered under the 1933 Act, nor registered under any state securities law, and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the 0000 Xxx. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. The Shares will bear the following restrictive legend:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT EITHER: i) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR ii) SUBMISSION TO THE CORPORATION OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SAID SHARES AND THE TRANSFER THEREOF ARE EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

No written or oral notice from any governmental agency or any other person has been received by Seller: (a) claiming any violation or repudiation of all or any part of the Properties or any violation of any law or any environmental, conservation or other ordinance, code, rule or regulation; or, (b) require or calling attention to the need for any work, repairs, construction, alterations, or installations on or in connection with the Properties, with which Seller has not complied.
