acquired in previous Agreements prior to the Effective Date. Assignee shall be entitled to an
undivided Sixty percent (60%) of proceeds accruing to the Assets, whether it be a working interest
or over-riding royalty interest, after the Effective Date and shall be responsible for the
operating expenses, capital expenditures, all taxes, or other obligations on the Assets Assignor
may have had prior to the Effective Date.



     4. This Assignment and Bill of Sale is made expressly subject to all of the leases, agreements, and

by the owners of the surface and/or mineral estate, which would or could, if successfully
prosecuted, impair in any manner the Assets.



     ASSIGNOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, NATURE OR DESCRIPTION, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT AND PERSONAL PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE ASSETS, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

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 Assignee and
Assignor and their respective affiliates, heirs, devisees, legal or personal representatives,
successors, and assigns and shall constitute covenants running with the Lands and the Assets.
