The number of shares of UPDA Common Stock and the number of shares of HOGC Common Stock will be adjusted as of the date of closing to reflect a total payment of $800,000 in UPDA Common Stock and $400,000 in HOGC Common Stock based upon the average of the closing prices for each stock for the five days immediately preceding and the five days immediately subsequent to the date of closing. The per share price of the UPDA Common Stock, as so adjusted, shall be referred to as the “UPDA Reference Price,” and the per share price of the HOGC Common Stock, as so adjusted, shall be referred to as the “HOGC Reference Price.” The number of shares of UPDA Common Stock and HOGC Common Stock is further subject to the make-whole provisions set forth in Section 2(c) and (d).
(b) The Sale Price shall be allocated among the Interests in accordance with Exhibit G attached hereto, and in compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 1060 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) The number of shares of UPDA Common Stock issuable hereunder is subject to further adjustment, as follows: in the event Petro Pro (or Miesner) sells all or a portion of the UPDA Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144 (in one or more distinct sale transactions), within the six-month time frame commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending six months thereafter, and the proceeds of any such sales (gross of commissions) are less than the UPDA Reference Price per share sold, then UPDA or Buyer shall deliver additional shares of UPDA Common Stock (valued for purposes hereof at the UPDA Reference Price) to Petro Pro (or Miesner, as the case may be), or, in UPDA’s sole discretion, cash, in the amount of such shortfall. Although such adjustment mechanism may cover multiple sale transactions, the adjustment mechanism set forth in this section may be exercised on no more than one occasion, six months following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Each of Petro Pro and Miesner agrees that sales of UPDA Common Stock during the six-month time frame commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending six months thereafter, shall not exceed 105,000 shares per day or 500,000 shares per week.

Although such adjustment mechanism may cover multiple sale transactions, the adjustment mechanism set forth in this section may be exercised on no more than one occasion, six months following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Petro Pro agrees that sales of HOGC Common Stock during the six-month time frame commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending six months thereafter, shall not exceed 35,000 shares per day or 150,000 shares per week.

By way of example, in the event of a Title Defect on any or all of the Barron 1, 2, or 3 Properties, Buyer may remove the Barron 1, 2 and 3 Properties from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and reduce the Sale Price by $931,304.35; or (ii) accept the Property with the Title Defect with no reduction in the Sale Price.
(c) The value of Title Defects not constituting a breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties must exceed $25,000.00 in value before any adjustment to the Sale Price will be made. Upon the determination that all such Title Defects total in excess of $25,000.00 in value, all identified Title Defects may give rise to a Sale Price adjustment. Notwithstanding this limitation, Buyer always shall have the option to remove from this transaction any Properties on which there are Title Defects, regardless of the value assigned to the Title Defects and affected Properties.
(d) Casualty Loss. If, prior to Closing, all or any portion of the Properties shall be destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if any portion of the Properties shall be taken in condemnation or under the right of eminent domain, or, if proceedings for such purposes shall be pending or threatened, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer makes this election, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under or by this Agreement, except such obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement. If not so terminated, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any such destruction, condemnation, or taking, and Seller shall, at Closing, pay to Buyer all sums (such as insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds, or takings compensation) paid to Seller by reason of such destruction, condemnation, or taking. In addition, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any unpaid awards or other payments arising out of such destruction, condemnation, or taking. Seller shall not voluntarily compromise, settle or adjust any amounts payable by reason of such destruction, condemnation, or taking without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer.
9. Physical and Environmental Inspection. After the execution of this Agreement, Buyer and its authorized representative shall have physical access to the Interests at Buyer’s sole cost, risk and expense for the purpose of inspecting the Interests as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate, in Buyer’s sole judgment, to evaluate the physical and environmental condition of the Interests, including the identification of wetlands. Buyer shall defend and indemnify Seller from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, injury to Buyer’s employees, agents or contractors or to Seller’s property which may arise out of Buyer’s inspections, but only to the extent of Buyer’s negligence. Buyer agrees to provide Seller, upon reasonable request, a copy of any environmental assessments including any reports, data and conclusions. Except as otherwise provided by law or regulation, Buyer and Seller shall keep any and all such data or information obtained or determined during such inspections and the results of any analysis strictly confidential and shall not disclose same to any person or agency without the prior written approval of both Buyer and Seller. The foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
10. Due Diligence Period. During the period between the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Closing (the “Due Diligence Period”), Buyer shall complete its physical and environmental inspections and such other due diligence as it deems reasonably necessary, in its sole judgment, prior to Closing.
11. Warranty of Title. In all conveyances executed and delivered hereunder, Seller shall specially warrant to Buyer and its successors and assigns that it has an ownership interest in the Properties which is equal to or greater than the interest shown on Exhibit A, and that it has not previously conveyed or encumbered the Properties, that it has the full and unrestricted authority to convey the Properties, in full and unlimited ownership to the extent set forth on Exhibit A, and that it will warrant and defend title to the Properties against the lawful claims and demands of all persons whomsoever claim the same or any part thereof, by, through, and under Seller, but not otherwise, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth on Exhibit A. Except for those representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the “Petro Pro Assignment, Conveyance, and Bill of Sale” instrument attached hereto as Exhibit “I,” and the “Jilpetco Assignment, Conveyance, and Bill of Sale” instrument attached hereto as Exhibit “J,” Seller makes no other warranty or representation as to the quantity or quality of title to the Properties.

Seller is unaware of any such conditions as of the Closing. Special procedures may be required for remediating, removing, transporting and disposing of NORM, hazardous materials and other substances from the Interests and absent proof of Seller’s fraudulent concealment, Buyer assumes all liability for any assessment, remediation, removal, transportation and disposal of these materials and associated activities in accordance with the applicable rules, requirements and regulations of governmental agencies.
(b) At Closing, Buyer shall assume and be responsible for and comply with all duties and obligations of Seller, express or implied, arising on or after the Closing, with respect to the Interests, including, without limitation, those arising under or by virtue of any lease, contract, agreement, document, permit, applicable statute or rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority assigned to it except to the extent (i) that the existence of such duties and obligations constitute a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants or (ii) Seller failed to disclose any such duty or obligation to Buyer in writing prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all claims relating to matters or events arising or relating to the period of time preceding the Closing Date including, without limitation, mispayment of royalties and other accounting matters, and for any breach by Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein.
