that shown in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, without a
proportionate increase in the net revenue interest;
(b)
The Existing

3.3 Notice of Title Defects. Purchaser shall
notify Seller in writing as soon as practicable after Purchaser has
knowledge thereof of any Title Defect (as defined below), but in no

deemed waived by Purchaser in connection with an adjustment of the
Purchase Price at Closing, but shall not affect the special
warranty of title contained in the assignment delivered at Closing.
A “Title Defect” shall mean (i) any encumbrance,
encroachment, irregularity, or other defect that renders any of the
title representations and warranties of Section 3.2 untrue; or (ii)
the terms and provisions of any of the Leases or the Existing
Contracts are not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser in all
material respects; but such definition shall not include the
Assignments executed on the requisite State and BLM forms of
Transfer of Operating and/or Assignments of Record Title which have
been filed with the respective regulatory agencies for approval
but, due to backlog at the agencies, have not received final
approval.
3.4 Remedy for Title Defect. Subject to
Section 3.5, Seller shall have the right until Closing to cure a
Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. For any
uncured Title Defect, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as
follows:
A. If the Title Defect
is based on Seller owning less net mineral acres in any Lease that
is given an Allocated Value in Exhibit C than those represented for
such Lease in Exhibit A, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by the product of multiplying the Allocated Value set forth in
Exhibit C for such Lease by a fraction the numerator of which is
the net acres for such Lease shown on Exhibit A less the actual net
mineral acres, and the dominator of which is the net mineral acres
shown for such Lease on Exhibit A.
B. If the Title Defect
is based on a Lease that is given an Allocated Value in Exhibit C
being burdened by a royalty, overriding royalty or other burden on
production that in the aggregate is greater than the net revenue
burden represented on Exhibit A for such Lease, then the Purchase
Price shall be reduced by the product of multiplying the Allocated
Value of such Lease set forth in Exhibit C for such Lease by a
fraction, the numerator of which is an amount equal to the net
revenue interest shown on Exhibit A for such Lease less the decimal
share attributable to the Title Defect and the denominator of which
is the net revenue interest for such Lease shown on Exhibit
A.
C. If the Title Defect
is a lien, encumbrance or other charge on the Assets that is
liquidated in amount, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the amount necessary to be paid to remove that Title Defect but in
no event shall the Purchase Price reduction exceed the Allocated
Value of the affected Assets.
D. If the Title Defect
is due to the terms of a Lease or an Existing Contract not being
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, then the Purchase Price shall
be reduced by the amount obtained by deeming the interest affected
by the unacceptable Lease or Existing Contract to have complete
failure of title, and then calculating the resulting decrease in
Net Revenue Interest in the applicable Well in accordance with
subparagraph D above for a Well, or subparagraph A above for a
non-producing Lease.
In all
situations set forth above other than Paragraph D, the Lease or
Leases affected by the Title Defect shall be assigned to Purchaser
at Closing, excluding the portion of such Lease affected by the
Title Defect. In the case of a Title Defect under Paragraph D
above, title to the Lease or Leases affected by such Title Defect
shall remain in Seller.
5
3.5 Additional
Cure Period and Put Right. At any time until 90 days following Closing
Seller shall also have the right (the “Put Right”) to
cure a Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and
to put the unpurchased portion of the Lease that is the subject of
the Title Defect to the Purchaser for a purchase price equal to the
reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the Title Defect
for that particular Lease. The Seller may exercise this Put Right
by providing notice thereof to the Purchaser and the Seller and the
Purchaser shall do all further acts and things as are reasonably
necessary to complete the transfer in accordance with Section
8.4.
3.6 Assumption of Liability. From and after
the Effective Time, Purchaser agrees to and will assume all
surface, plugging and abandonment, environmental and all other
liability of whatsoever kind and nature as to the Assets whether
from ownership, operation, use or contract. Purchaser acknowledges
that there may exist obligations to surface owners or tenants of
the surface, such as grazing lessees, of the subject lands to
negotiate and execute a surface use and compensation agreement in
compliance with the New Mexico Surface Owner’s Protection
Act, which obligation may include providing notice of
Purchaser’s oil and gas operations and non-oil and gas
operations. After the Effective Time, SELLER GIVES NO WARRANTY AS
TO ITS COMPLIANCE WITH STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES OR
REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE OR PLUGGING
LIABILITY AND ADDITIONALLY GIVES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE CONDITION OF
THE SURFACE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND PURCHASER
ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS ACQUIRING THE ASSETS IN AN EXISTING “AS

3.7 Indemnification.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE
CONTRARY, FROM AND AFTER THE
EFFECTIVE TIME PURCHASER AGREES TO AND WILL INDEMNIFY,
DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING COURT

HOLDBACK
At
Closing, Purchaser shall hold back from the payment of Purchase
Price required pursuant to Section 7.5.F. the sum of $500,000 (the
“Holdback”), to provide for potential obligations of
the Seller pursuant to the PSA and the SPA (which shall expressly
exclude obligations with respect to the title or environmental

the SPA or PSA. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,
one-half ($250,000) of the Holdback shall be paid to Seller 90 days
after Closing, with the balance ($250,000) released to Seller 180
days after Closing. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any part of the Holdback withheld by the Purchaser subsequent
to 180 days after Closing was in fact due to the Purchaser, the
Purchaser shall pay Seller 200%, instead of 100%, of the amount so
withheld.
ARTICLE VIII
POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS
8.1 Indemnity. If the Closing occurs, (i)
Purchaser assumes all obligations that are attributable to the
Assets on or after the Effective Time and all obligations to
properly plug and abandon all wells now or hereafter located on the
lands covered by the Leases, (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) that are attributable to the
Assets on or after the Effective Time, and any breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by Purchaser in this
Agreement, and (iii) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) that are attributable to the
Assets before the Effective Time (other than plugging and
abandoning all wells now or hereafter located on the lands covered
by the Leases as well as costs incident to such plugging and
abandonment), and any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant made by Seller in this Agreement, excluding obligations
with respect to the title or environmental condition of the
purchased assets.
8.2 Preferential Purchase Rights. If one or
more persons claim they hold a preferential purchase right in any
of the Assets and notify any Seller or Purchaser after Closing but
within the period such right may be exercised that they intend to
exercise such alleged preferential purchase right, the applicable
Seller or Purchaser shall notify the other Parties of such claim,
and Purchaser shall be responsible for satisfying all such
preferential purchase rights, if any, to the holders thereof and
Purchaser shall protect, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and
reasonable attorney’s fees in connection
therewith.
8.3 Cooperation. After Closing, Seller and
Purchaser agree to take such further actions and to execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such further documents that are
necessary or useful in carrying out the purposes of this Agreement
or of any document delivered pursuant to this
Agreement.
13
8.4 Support. Purchaser, at
Purchaser’s Expense (as defined below), may engage (i) an
auditing firm (“Auditors”) (which may be the current
auditor of Seller) to conduct an audit of the revenues and expenses
of Seller attributable to the Assets for the period of three (3)
calendar years prior to the Effective Time, (ii) a reserve engineer
(“Engineers”) to value the Assets as of the Closing,
and (iii) an independent asset valuation firm (“Valuation
Experts”) for the purposes of valuing the fixed Assets, all
as deemed reasonably or necessary by Purchaser’s parent
company, PEDEVCO Corp., for purposes of public disclosure.
Seller agrees, from the date of this Agreement until one hundred
eighty (180) days after Closing, that Seller will, at
Purchaser’s Expense (as defined below), use its reasonable
commercial efforts to cooperate and assist such Auditors, Engineers
and Valuation Experts, including making available books, records
and personnel of Seller reasonably requested by such parties; and
provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall require any such cooperation or
assistance on the part of Seller to the extent it would interfere
unreasonably with the business or operations of Seller.
“Purchaser’s Expense” shall mean that the
Purchaser will be solely responsible for all payments to Auditors,
Engineers and Valuation Experts, and further that the Purchaser
will promptly pay the Seller, without set-off or counterclaim., an
amount equal to 150% of all reasonable costs incurred by Seller or
its affiliates in providing support, including but not limited to
wages and associated overhead.
ARTICLE IX

Taxes. All ad valorem taxes, real property taxes, personal
property taxes, and similar obligations relating to the Assets
(collectively “Property Taxes”) with respect to the tax
period in which the Effective Time occurs shall be apportioned as
of the Effective Time between Seller and Purchaser. The Parties
will initially make settlement of all Property Taxes by estimating
the Property Taxes to be due for the tax period in which the
Effective Time occurs based on the Property Taxes assessed and paid
for the immediately prior tax period. Such settlement of taxes
shall be part of the closing and post-closing settlement statements
between the Parties. The Parties will make final adjustment upon
receipt of the tax statements for 2018.
9.2 Sales Taxes. Purchaser shall pay sales
taxes or other transfer taxes, if any, in connection with the sale
of the Assets. Purchaser shall be responsible for any applicable
conveyance, transfer and recording fees, and real estate transfer
stamps or taxes imposed on the transfer of the Assets pursuant to
this Agreement.
9.3 Other Taxes. All production, severance,
excise and other taxes (other than income taxes, which shall be the
sole responsibility of each Party as to their own income taxes)
relating to production of oil, gas and condensate attributable to
the Assets prior to the Effective Time shall be paid by Seller, and
all such taxes relating to such production on or after the
Effective Time shall be paid by Purchaser.
