(i) all of the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit A, together with any and all other right, title, and interest of Seller in and to the leasehold estates created thereby (such interests in such leases, the “Leases”), and all rights and interests in the lands covered by the Leases and any lands pooled or unitized therewith (such lands, the “Lands”, together with the Leases, the “Oil and Gas Properties”);

(iv) all files, records, and data (including electronic data) or copies thereof in the possession of Seller to the extent specifically related to the Assets, including: (1) suspended funds files, lease files, land files, wells files, division order files, abstracts, title files, engineering and/or production files, non-interpretive maps, and accounting and tax records; (2) approved authorizations for expenditures, engineering records, non-interpretive reservoir information, daily drilling and completion plans and reports, and wellbore diagrams; (3) marketing contracts; and (4) environmental files and records (collectively, the “Records”).

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1(a), Seller shall (or shall cause Two Pearl Energy to) reserve and retain all and any right, title or interest in or to:

 

(i) an overriding royalty interest, with respect to each Subject Lease, in a percentage equal to the positive difference between the royalty interest of the lessor set forth in the Subject Lease and twenty-five (25%) percent, if the lessor reserves a royalty less than twenty-five (25%) percent, and two (2%) percent if the lessor reserves a royalty interest equal to or greater than twenty-five (25%) percent (the “Seller Subject Lease ORRIs”); or
