The rights, title, and interests of Seller in any pooled or unitized acreage or rights included, in whole or in part, within the Lands, including all oil and gas and carbon dioxide production from the pool or unit allocated to such properties (including, without limitation, units formed under orders, rules, regulations, or other official acts of any
        state or other authority having jurisdiction and so called "working interest units" created under operating agreements or otherwise) and interests in any wells within the unit or pool associated with such properties, whether the unitized or pooled oil and gas and carbon dioxide production comes from wells located within or without the areas covered by the Lands, and all tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances belonging to the properties.

        equipment, casing, tanks, boilers, buildings, tubing, pumps, motors, valves, fixtures, machinery and other equipment, pipelines, gathering systems, power lines, telephone lines, roads, field processing plants, and all other improvements used in operations. IT IS AGREED THAT THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY THAT BECAME CLASSIFIED OTHERWISE BY VIRTUE OF BEING PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO REAL PROPERTY, IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND WHERE IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
        MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

        11.

        2.         From time to time, whether at or after closing, as requested by Buyer, its successors or assigns, Seller will execute and deliver any and all documents and take such other reasonable actions as may be necessary to fully convey and transfer the Assets to Buyer.


         


        3.         Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer, its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all liability, liens, demands, judgments, suits, and claims of any kind or character arising out of, in connection with, or resulting from Seller's ownership of

        4.         Seller shall be entitled to all proceeds accruing to the Assets prior to the Effective Date of this Assignment and Bill of Sale and shall be responsible for operating expenses, capital expenditures, all taxes, and other obligations on the Assets prior to the Effective Date.

Within ninety (90) days after the execution of this Assignment, Seller will furnish Buyer a statement (the “Statement”) covering: (a) operating expenses and capital expenditures incurred after the Effective Date and paid by Seller; and, (b) revenues received by Seller from production attributable to the Assets
        after the Effective Date. If Buyer agrees with the Statement, then payment by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, based upon the information contained in the Statement shall occur within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Statement by Buyer.


         


        5.         This Assignment and Bill of Sale is made expressly subject to all valid and existing leases, contracts, easements, and other instruments affecting all or any part of the Assets, together with any and all existing overriding royalties and other interests payable out of production from all or any part of the Lands, as shown of record.

        taxes, assessments, preferential rights, and encumbrances of any kind.


         


                    Seller represents that, to its best knowledge, there is no claim, demand, filing, cause of action, administrative proceeding, lawsuit, or other litigation pending that could now or later adversely affect the ownership of the Assets, other than proceedings relating to the industry generally and to which Seller is not a named
        party.


         


                    It is the intention and agreement of Seller and Buyer that the provisions of this Assignment and Bill of Sale shall be severable. Should the whole or any portion of a section or paragraph be judicially held to be void or invalid, such holding shall not affect other portions which can be given effect without the invalid or void
        portion.


         


        
            

        


        The provisions of this Assignment shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Buyer and Seller and their respective affiliates, heirs, devisees, legal or personal representatives, successors, and assigns and shall constitute covenants running with the Lands and the Assets.


         


        This Assignment is executed by Seller and Buyer as of the date of the acknowledgments of their signatures below, but is effective as of the Effective Date stated above.
