1


 

Sagebrush, the Prospects, and Seller’s Units are the “Subject Interests,” which are described on Exhibit “A.”
          (ii) Incidental Rights. (1) All rights with respect to the use and occupancy of the surface of and the subsurface depths under the Lands covered by the Leases; (2) All rights with respect to any pooled, communitized or unitized acreage by virtue of any of the Subject Interests being a part thereof; (3) All rights in and to all agreements and contractual rights, easements, rights-of-way, servitudes and other estates related to or otherwise affecting the Subject Interests; and (4) all rights with respect to Seller’s Units.
     (b) Conditional Sale. Seller is aware that Riata is currently in the process of undertaking a 144A Private Placement offering (the “Private Placement”).

     2. Purchase Price and Payment.
  (a)   Purchase Price. The total consideration for the purchase, sale and conveyance of the Subject Interests and Incidental Rights to Riata is 1,406,000 shares of common stock of Riata Energy, based on there being 58,687,500 shares outstanding at the closing of the Private Placement, before considering the 12,500,000 shares expected to be issued for cash by Riata (the “Purchase Price”).
