OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
7.1 |
Operating Adjustments
|
Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, all revenues and benefits and expenditures and obligations of any kind and nature relating to the ownership, operation and development of the Assets conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation maintenance, development, operating and capital costs, government incentives and administration fees, royalties and other burdens, and proceeds from the sale of production whether accruing, payable or paid and received or receivable, shall be adjusted between the Parties as of the Adjustment Date, on an accrual basis, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, provided that:
(a) |
all rentals and similar payments and all property taxes, freehold mineral taxes and other similar taxes (excluding taxes based on income, net revenue or capital) paid, payable or levied on or in respect of the Assets, the ownership thereof or Petroleum Substances produced therefrom or allocated thereto shall be adjusted and apportioned between the Vendor and Purchaser on a per diem basis as of the Adjustment Date;
|
(b) |
no adjustments shall be made on account of any royalty tax credits or other similar incentives that accrue to the benefit of either Party;
|
(c) |
all costs relating to any work performed or goods and services provided in respect of the Assets will be deemed to have accrued as of the date the work was performed or the goods and services were provided, regardless of the time at which those costs become payable or are paid;
|
(d) |
all overhead recoveries, operator's fees and similar amounts received or receivable by Vendor as operator of any Assets shall be adjusted and apportioned between the Vendor and Purchaser on a per diem basis as of the Adjustment Date; and
|
(e) |
any revenues related to the Assets that are received by Vendor from and after the Adjustment Date shall be held by Vendor as bare legal trustee for the benefit of Purchaser until such amounts are adjusted, as provided for herein or are paid to Purchaser.
|
For greater certainty, adjustments in respect of production, if any, shall be made in favour of Vendor in respect of all production beyond the wellhead, including but not limited to inventory volumes stored in tanks or in line fill at the Adjustment Date and in favour of Purchaser in respect of all other production. The Parties shall agree on inventory levels to be attributed to Vendor if such volumes were not measured on the Adjustment Date. Purchaser shall provide to Vendor no later than 5 Business Days prior to the Closing Time a written statement of all such adjustments to be made at Closing, and shall cooperate with Vendor to enable Vendor to verify the accuracy of such statement. The net adjustment purchase to this section shall be paid at Closing as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. Adjustments not settled or incorrectly settled prior to or at Closing shall be settled by payment to or by Vendor and Purchaser, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after Closing. The intention of the Parties is that final settlement shall occur within 180 days following Closing, but it is recognized that adjustments may be made after that time. No adjustments shall be made after one year from Closing unless written notice of the requested adjustment, with reasonable particulars, is given within one year from Closing, provided however that adjustments arising as a consequence of Crown royalty audits, joint venture audits or thirteenth month adjustments for gas plant throughput and gas cost allowance for the Assets

for which audit queries or thirteenth month adjustments are outstanding at Closing; or
|
(b) |
that occur after the Closing Time but not later than two years after the Closing Time (in the case of joint venture audits and thirteenth month adjustments) or four years from the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs (in the case of Crown royalty audits),
|
shall be made as they occur and payment for them shall be made within 30 days of each adjustment and shall be made by Purchaser to Vendor, or vice versa, as the case may be. Either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, audit the records of the other Party relating to accounting or adjustments made subject to this section 7.2 for two years from the date the adjustment is made. Accounting or adjustments resulting from the audit shall be settled between Vendor and Purchaser on an item-by-item basis as they occur. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or otherwise interfere with any audit rights Vendor may have under any agreements pertaining to the Assets for the period prior to the Adjustment Date; it being the intention of the Parties hereto that any adjustments arising from or attributable to the exercise of such audit rights shall be for the account of Vendor. For the purposes hereof, the expression "audit right" shall include the right to initiate an audit or to participate in or receive the benefits from an audit.

Rights of First Refusal

Vendor has advised Purchaser which Assets, if any, are subject to Rights of First Refusal, as outlined in Schedule "G". Purchaser has advised Vendor of its bona fide allocations of value for Vendor's interest in and to such Assets, or will do so within five (5) Business Days of execution and delivery of this Agreement. Vendor shall comply with the applicable provisions of such rights and shall courier notices to the Third Parties (and Purchaser, if applicable), (provided that Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Article 10), and further provided that Vendor, is in agreement with Purchaser's bona fide allocations.

18
Purchase Price, the tax allocations and the Goods and Services Tax shall be reduced accordingly. In the event that a Third Party exercises a Right of First Refusal and is then unable or unwilling to enter into a conveyance agreement with Vendor for the relevant Assets, Purchaser agrees to accept a conveyance of such Assets for the same amount allocated to such Assets by Purchaser under the same terms and conditions as this Agreement to whatever extent possible, subject to any rights of any other Third Parties who may have also exercised Rights of First Refusal with respect to the same Assets and accordingly may also have a claim to acquire same, or a portion thereof.
