RECITALS

The Company owns a majority of the issued and outstanding membership units and/or ownership interests (such membership and/or ownership interests owned by the Company collectively the “Transaction Subsidiary Membership Interests”) in the following entities (each a “Transaction Subsidiary” and collectively the “Transaction Subsidiaries”):

Elysium Energy Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Elysium”); and

Ichor Energy Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Ichor”).

The Transaction Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of acquiring and developing oil and natural gas properties, and own working interests and/or overriding royalty interests in various oil and gas leases (collectively, the “Transaction Subsidiary Assets”) in Texas and Louisiana.

The Company is desirous of raising capital through the sale of an aggregate of 250 Units on a reasonable efforts basis, each Unit consisting of a Note with a face value of $100,000 (100% of the principal amount of each Note shall be convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.24 per share at any time 30 days after the closing date). The Purchaser together with all other purchasers of the Units shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchasers,” and the Purchasers of the Units other than the Purchaser shall collectively be referred to as the “Other Purchasers.”

The proceeds of the sale of the Units will be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to acquire additional oil and gas assets and for working capital. As security for the Notes purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchasers will receive security interests, as more particularly set out in the Security and Pledge Agreement (as defined herein), against the Transaction Subsidiary Membership Interests.

The Company has engaged several FINRA member broker-dealers (collectively, the “Placement Agents”) to arrange the sale of the Units.

The Purchaser wishes to purchase, and the Company wishes to sell, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the number of Units (including fractions of a Unit) and for the price set forth on the signature page hereto.

In no event shall the Purchaser and/or any of their respective employees, agents, partners, affiliates, members, equity and/or debt holders, managers, officers, directors and/or other related or similar type of Person, have any liability to the Company and/or any of its officers, directors, employees, agent, attorneys, affiliates, consultants, equity and/or debt holders except for any actions or lack of actions of such persons that are found by a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for all appeals has passed to have resulted directly from Purchaser’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

ARTICLE 7
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER

Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the Company as follows:

7.1 Authorization. Such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

7.2 Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and such Purchaser has verified its “accredited investor” status with the Company or one of its Placement Agents within three months of the date hereof.

7.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Unit(s) are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of each Purchaser to acquire the Unit(s).

7.4 Information. Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Units which have been requested by such Purchaser. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Purchaser shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Purchaser understands that this investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of its respective Units.

Additionally, such Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the Transaction Documents contain material non-public information regarding the Company (the “Confidential Information”); (ii) information is considered “material” if a reasonable investor, given the total mix of available information regarding the Company, would consider the information important in deciding whether to buy, hold, or sell securities of the Company on the basis of the information, and (iii) xxxxxxx xxxxxxx (trading on the basis of material, non-public information) violates both federal and state law. Such Purchaser covenants and agrees that until the Company has publicly disclosed the Confidential Information (via press release or filing in an SEC Report), or until the Confidential Information is no longer considered “material” in the sole discretion of the Company, such Purchaser shall keep the Confidential Information confidential and shall not buy or sell securities (or puts, calls or options on the securities) of the Company, or engage in any other action to use, take advantage of, or pass on to others, the Confidential Information, except that such Purchaser shall be permitted disclose the Confidential Information (i) if required to do so by law, or (ii) to its directors, officers, employees, legal and financial advisors, who agree to keep the Confidential Information confidential and treat the Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if they were parties hereto.

7.5 No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.

7.6 Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

7.7 Organization and Standing. Such Purchaser, if an entity, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of where it was formed.

7.8 Brokers or Finders. Such Purchaser represents and warrants, to the best of its knowledge, that except for the Placement Agents, no finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or other intermediary, nor any purchaser representative or any broker-dealer acting as a broker, are entitled to any compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.9 Ability to Perform. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against any of such Purchaser or any such Purchaser’s assets before any court or governmental agency (nor is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way such Purchaser’s ability to enter into and fully perform the Purchaser’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.10 Short Positions. Such Purchaser covenants and agrees that, so long as such Purchaser owns any Securities of the Company, such Purchaser, shall not maintain a net short position in the Common Stock (as determined under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (“Regulation SHO”) taking into account all positions of the Purchaser whether or not the Purchaser otherwise would constitute an independent trading unit under Regulation SHO).

7.11 Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser understands that (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (i) subsequently registered thereunder, (ii) such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (iii) such Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (b) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and the Purchaser in effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 7.11.

7.12 Legends. Such Purchaser understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes and any Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (b) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (c) the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

7.13 Advisors and Legal Counsel. Such Purchaser represents that it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its choosing, and no inference shall be drawn in favor of or against any party by virtue of the fact that such party’s counsel was or was not the principal draftsman of this Agreement. Purchaser understands that it shall be solely responsible to pay the costs and expenses of its own legal counsel in connection with the preparation and review of this Agreement and related documentation. Such Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it should seek its own legal, business, financial and other professional advisors for advice and due diligence with respect to all matters relevant to Purchaser’s investment in the Company, including, without limitation, the perfection of any security interests granted by the Company to the Purchaser(s) in connection with their investment.

ARTICLE 8
RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Company involves significant risk and is suitable only for investors who are capable of bearing significant risks, including the risk of loss of a substantial part or all of their investment. Careful consideration of the following risk factors provided by the Company, as well as other information in this Agreement and in the Company’s SEC Reports, is advisable prior to investing. Prospective Purchasers acknowledge and agree that they have reviewed the Company’s SEC Reports, understand the risk factors contained therein, including the risk factors and Legal Proceedings disclosure contained in the Company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports filed with the SEC, have read all sections of this Agreement, and acknowledge that they have been advised to consult their own legal and financial advisers before investing in the Units.

8.1 There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or

results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

8.2 There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our operating history of net losses, negative working capital and insufficient cash flows, and lack of liquidity to pay our current obligations, all of which means that we may not be able to continue operations.

8.3 There is no minimum number of Units that must be sold prior to any Closing hereunder. Since there is no minimum, if only a few Units are sold, we may not have enough capital to execute our business plans, and any investment in us may be lost. As such, proceeds from this offering may not be sufficient to meet the objectives we have, or other corporate milestones that we may set.

8.4 We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest.

8.5 We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock. We may finance our operations and develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or debt securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stock. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline.

8.6 Our current CEO, Xxxxx Xxxxx, holds shares of a series of our Preferred Stock, which, among other rights and preferences, have a weighted vote which currently allows him to control approximately over 75% of the outstanding votes on all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock as of October 7, 2019. By virtue of these voting rights, the CEO of the Company can cause the Company to take actions that require a shareholder vote, without the affirmative vote of any other shareholders. Additionally, the Company’s CEO is one of only three members of the Company’s Board of Directors, therefore allowing the CEO to exert control over the Company.

8.7 The purchase price of the Units hereunder was arbitrarily determined by the Company and is unrelated to specific investment criteria, such as market value, book value, or any other established valuation criteria. We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of the securities being purchased hereunder. The Units purchased hereunder may have a

value significantly less than the purchase price, and the securities constituting the Units may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the purchase price for the Units. In determining the purchase price for the Units, the Company considered such factors as the Company’s historical fundraising efforts, the prospects, if any, of similar companies, the previous experience of management, the Company’s anticipated results of operations, and the likelihood of purchase hereunder. Please review any financial or other information in relation to your prospective purchase of our securities with qualified persons to determine their suitability as an investment before purchasing any securities being offered by the Company.

8.8 The Company and its other subsidiaries have entered into various loan and security agreements pursuant to which various lenders have security against assets of the Company or the other subsidiaries. The loan and security agreements contain various financial and other covenants of the Company and/or subsidiaries which, if not satisfied, may result in an event of default under the loan agreement(s) and other security agreements which may cause the particular lender(s) to enforce upon their security. The security granted to the aforementioned lenders effectively has priority over the security being granted to the Purchaser pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement.

8.9 One or both of the Transaction Subsidiaries, or subsidiaries of either or both of the Transaction Subsidiaries, have entered, or will enter, into various loan and security agreements (“Loan Agreement(s)”) pursuant to which various lenders have, or will have, security interests in and liens against (the “Lender’s Security”) assets of the Transaction Subsidiaries or their subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”). The Loan Agreement(s) contain or will contain various financial and other covenants of each of the Loan Parties, which, if not satisfied, may result in an event of default under the Loan Agreement(s) in favor of the applicable lender, which may cause the lender to enforce their rights against the Lender’s Security. The Lender’s Security in the Transaction Subsidiary Assets will effectively have priority over the security interest being granted to the Purchaser pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement.

8.10 In April of 2019, the staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement notified the Company that the Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company, as well as against its CEO and its CFO, for alleged violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder during the period from early 2014 through late 2016. The Staff’s notice was not a formal allegation or a finding of wrongdoing by the Company, and the Company submitted a formal response to the Staff on or about May 3, 2019, articulating why the SEC should not file an enforcement action against the Company. On September 17, 2019, the SEC filed an enforcement action against the Company’s former officer and director, Xxx Xxxxx, who resigned from all positions with the Company in May 2017, but the enforcement action did not name the Company or any of its current officers and directors as a defendant. The SEC may still file an enforcement action against the Company and its CEO and CFO, and while the Company believes it has adequate defenses and intends to vigorously defend any enforcement action that may be initiated by the SEC, those defenses may not be sufficient. If they were not, the Company would likely have to pay fines to the SEC, and the reputation and business of the Company, and its ability to raise capital, would be harmed.

8.11 Oil and gas price fluctuations in the market may adversely affect the results of our operations.

8.12 Our profitability, cash flows and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties are highly dependent upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Substantially all of our sales of oil and natural gas, if any, are made in the spot market, or pursuant to contracts based on spot market prices, and not pursuant to long-term, fixed-price contracts. Accordingly, the prices received for our oil and natural gas production are dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, governmental regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the level of foreign imports of oil and natural gas and the overall economic environment.

8.13 Historically, the oil and natural gas markets have proven cyclical and volatile as a result of factors that are beyond our control. Any additional declines in oil and natural gas prices or any other unfavorable market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

8.14 Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves and future cash flows from those reserves most likely will vary from our estimates.

8.15 Estimating accumulations of oil and gas is complex. The process relies on interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of which are mandated by the SEC, such as oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:

		a. the quality and quantity of available data;
		b. the interpretation of that data;
		c. the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and
		d. the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.

8.16 Shares of our common stock are subject to the “Xxxxx Stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our securities will likely be limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock or debt instruments convertible into our stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “xxxxx stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a xxxxx stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

	●	That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in xxxxx stocks; and
	●	The broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quality of the xxxxx stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in xxxxx stocks, the broker or dealer must:

	●	Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
	●	Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in xxxxx stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in xxxxx stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a xxxxx stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the xxxxx stock market, which, in highlight form:

	●	Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
	●	That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “xxxxx stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in xxxxx stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in xxxxx stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the xxxxx stock held in the account and information on the limited market in xxxxx stocks.

8.17 State securities laws may limit secondary trading of our securities, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you could sell any shares into which the securities being purchased hereunder are convertible. Secondary trading in our common stock will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
