(f) Seller has paid all ad valorem, property, production, severance, excise taxes and assessments attributable to the Leases, the Land and the Production.

(p) Seller is familiar with and understands the current and proposed business activities of Buyer. Seller has been given the opportunity to obtain additional information from Buyer and to discuss the current and proposed business of Buyer with representatives of Buyer. Buyer has made available to Seller all documents and information that Seller has requested relating to an investment in the Shares. Seller has reviewed and approved the financial statements and other filings of Buyer of public record. With respect to tax and other economic considerations involved in this investment, Seller is not relying on any advice or opinions from Buyer or any person acting on its behalf.

Seller (i) has adequate means for providing for Seller’s current financial needs and contingencies; (ii) has no need for liquidity in this investment; (iii) can afford a complete loss of the funds invested in the Shares; and (iv) does not have an overall commitment to illiquid investments that is disproportionate to Seller’s net worth (and Seller’s investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive).

(q) Seller understands that an investment in the Shares is speculative in nature and involves a substantial degree of risk, including risk of losing all or a portion of Seller’s investment. Seller understands that the return of Seller’s money, not just the return on Seller’s money, is not assured. Seller, in reaching a decision to subscribe, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Seller is capable of reading and interpreting financial statements and evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the Shares.

(r) Seller was not offered or sold the Shares, directly or indirectly, by means of any form of general advertising or general solicitation, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium of or broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) to the knowledge of Seller, any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

-6-

(s) Seller understands that Buyer’s determination that the exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act based upon non-public offerings applicable to the offer and sale of the Shares, is based, in part, upon the representations, warranties, and agreements made by Seller herein. Seller consents to the disclosure of any such information, and any other information furnished to Buyer or related to this transaction, to any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization, or, to the extent required by law, to any other person.

(t) Seller is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 501.

(u) Pending Registration, the certificate evidencing the Shares will reflect a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE TRANSACTION IS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED FOR SALE UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE.

9. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that the following representations and warranties shall be true and correct at and as of Closing:

(a) Buyer is a Nevada corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and is authorized to do business in the State of Wyoming and the State of Nebraska.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ASSIGNMENT, THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN FACT OR IN LAW, AS TO TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, DURABILITY, USE, OPERATION, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SELLER DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REPRESENT OR WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION, DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) FURNISHED TO BUYER BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER.
