Each Seller Party, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably waives and covenants and agrees to forbear and refrain from, directly

to be released pursuant to this Agreement (subject to the proviso in clause (a) of Section 1 above).

 

2.            
Release by Vivakor. Effective as of Closing:

 

(a)            
Vivakor, for itself and on behalf of the Vivakor Releasing Parties, does hereby finally, unconditionally, irrevocably, and absolutely

provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction under any applicable
Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other
provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such

any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this
Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(b)            
The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Clark County, State of Nevada,
for the purposes of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not
to commence any Proceeding relating hereto except in such courts), so long as such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such
Proceeding. The Parties further agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered
mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 12 shall be effective service of process for any Proceeding
in Nevada with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The
Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, any objection which they may now or hereafter have
to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in any such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such
Proceeding. Each Party agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by applicable Law.

 

(c)            
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN
THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

 

6.            
Specific Performance; Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Vivakor Releasees or Seller Party Releasees,
as applicable (the “Other Party’s Releasees”), would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions
of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees
that the Other Party’s Releasees shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement of posting bond or other
form of security, in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, jurisdiction over such Party and any of the Other Party’s Releasees, in addition to any other remedy to which
it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The remedies contemplated herein are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies available
at law or in equity and, accordingly, all such remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. No exercise of any remedy hereunder, at law
or in equity shall be deemed an election of remedies.

 

7.            
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations or warranties, written or oral,
with respect thereto by or among the Parties.

 

8.            
Further Actions. Each Party hereto agrees that it will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, on or
after the date of this Agreement, all such other instruments and will take all reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, and to effectuate the provisions and purposes hereof.

 

9.            
Knowing and Voluntary Waiver. Each Party, by its respective free and voluntary act of signing below, (a) acknowledges that
it has been given appropriate time to consider whether to agree to the terms contained herein, (b) acknowledges that it has been advised
to consult with an attorney and has consulted with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement, (c) acknowledges that it understands
that this Agreement specifically releases and waives many rights and Claims that it may have, and (d) agrees to all of the terms of this
Agreement and intends to be legally bound thereby. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party has reviewed and negotiated the terms
and provisions of this Agreement and has contributed to its preparation (with advice of counsel). Accordingly, the rule of construction
to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all Parties and not in favor of or against any Party based on the
fact that such Party may have drafted such terms or provisions.

10.          
Interpretation. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof
may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties and Purchaser, which is an express third party beneficiary of
this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise: (a) the gender (or lack of gender) of all words used in this Agreement includes
the masculine, feminine, and neuter; (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively;
and (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire
Agreement. References to a Person are also to its successors and/or permitted assigns, if any. Unless specifically provided for herein,
the term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent”
means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The words “will”
and “will not” are expressions of command and not merely expressions of future intent or expectation. When used in this Agreement,
the word “either” shall be deemed to mean “one or the other”, not “both”. All references herein to
“dollars” or “$” are to the lawful currency of the United States. The headings contained in this Agreement are
for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. “Seller Releasing Parties”
means, with respect to an applicable Seller Party, such Seller Party’s former, current or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions
and Affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons) and each of their respective former, current or future officers, directors,
agents, advisors, representatives, managers, members, partners, equityholders, employees, financing sources, insurers, subrogees, principals,
and any successors or assigns of any said Person, and any other Person claiming (now or in the future) for such Seller Party, through
or on behalf of such Seller Party. “Vivakor Releasing Parties” means, with respect to Vivakor, Vivakor’s
former, current or future parents, subsidiaries, divisions and Affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons) and each
of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, agents, advisors, representatives, managers, members, partners, equityholders,
employees, financing sources, insurers, subrogees, principals, and any successors or assigns of any said Person, and any other Person
claiming (now or in the future) for Vivakor, through or on behalf of Vivakor.
