P. Investment Representations: Participant understands (1) that the interests evidenced by this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Colorado Securities Act or any other state securities laws (the "Securities Acts") because PetroShare is issuing these interests in reliance upon the exemptions from the registrations requirements of the Securities Acts providing for issuance of Securities not involving a public offering, (2) that PetroShare has relied upon the fact that the interests are to be held by each for investment, and (3) that exemption from registrations under the Securities Acts would not be available if the interests were acquired by Participant with a view to distribution.
Accordingly, Participant hereby confirms to PetroShare that it is acquiring the interests for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Participant agrees not to transfer, sell or offer for sale any or any portion of the interests unless there is an effective registration or other qualification relating thereto under the Securities Act of 1933 and under any applicable state securities laws or unless the holder of interests delivers to the PetroShare an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the PetroShare, that such registration or other qualification under such Act and applicable state securities laws is not required in connection with such transfer, offer or sale. Participant understands that the PetroShare is under no obligation to register the interests or to assist them in complying with any exemption from registration under the Acts if either should at a later date, wish to dispose of the interest. Furthermore, Participant realizes that the interests are unlikely to qualify for disposition under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission unless they are not an "affiliate" of PetroShare and the interest has been beneficially owned and fully pa id for by either for at least three years.
Prior to acquiring the interests, Participant has made an investigation of the PetroShare and its business and has had made available to it all information with respect thereto which it needed to make an informed decision to acquire the interest. Participant considers itself to be an entity possessing experience and sophistication as an investor which are adequate for the evaluation of the merits and risks of its investment in the interest.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed effective as of the date hereinabove provided.
