By amending Section 8 as follows:
 
8.           In addition to the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2 hereof, Seller shall be entitled to an overriding royalty interest (“ORRI”) not to exceed 3.125% of the net revenue from production of Hydrocarbons from the Property; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller owns less than 100% of the  Hydrocarbons, the ORRI as to that Property shall be automatically reduced in the proportion that the net ownership of the Hydrocarbons bears to 100% of the ownership of the Hydrocarbons.  By way of example, if Seller owns 50% of the Hydrocarbons in a specific Property, then Seller would be entitled to an ORRI not to exceed 1.563% (50% of 3.125%) of the net revenue from production as to that Property.  Purchaser shall provide Seller with written income statements regarding net revenue generated from the production of Hydrocarbons upon written request from Seller.  Seller shall have the right to inspect Purchaser’s records relating to the production and sale of Hydrocarbons from the Property upon 30 days written notice to Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller’s written request to inspect Purchaser’s records shall be no more frequently than once in any calendar year, and shall be strictly limited to only those records that are necessary for Seller to determine its ORRI.  The terms and provisions contained in this Section 9 do not create, nor give rise to, any obligation, duty or covenant whatsoever by Purchaser, either express or implied, to engage in operations for Hydrocarbons.  Seller’s right to inspect Purchaser’s records shall not be transferrable or assignable without the express written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason.
 
By amending Section 9 as follows:
 
9.           The Purchase Price shall not be released to Seller until all documents necessary to effectuate this transaction, as determined by Purchaser in its discretion, have been executed and delivered to Purchaser, including, but not limited to the following:
 
(a)           documents listed on the “Closing Documents List” attached hereto as Schedule 2, the terms and conditions of such documents all being expressly incorporated herein;
 
(b)           copies of all necessary and duly executed consents to assignment or waivers of preferential rights to purchase with respect to the Leasehold Rights as listed in Schedule 3;
 
(c)           a certificate duly executed by the secretary or any assistant secretary of each Seller, dated as of the Execution Date, (i) attaching and certifying on behalf of such Seller complete and correct copies of:  (A) the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents of such Seller, each as in effect as of the Execution Date; and (B) the resolutions of the board of directors of each such Seller authorizing the execution, delivery, and performance by such Seller of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) certifying on behalf of such Seller the incumbency of each officer of such Seller executing this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement; and
 
(d)           an executed statement described in Treasury Regulation 1.1445-2(b)(2) certifying that each Seller is not a foreign person within the meaning of the Code.
 
9.1  Simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller, among other things, the following:
 
(a)           a wire transfer to Seller of the Purchase Price in same-day funds, less the Deposit; and

By adding Section 15 as follows:
 
15.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

By adding Section 16 as follows:

16.           Waivers.    Any failure by any of the Parties to comply with any of their obligations, agreements or conditions herein contained may be waived in writing, but not in any other manner, by the Party to whom such compliance is owed.  No waiver of, or consent to a change in, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of, or consent to a change in, other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
 
By adding Section 17 as follows:
 
17.           Limitation on Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Seller or Purchaser, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall be entitled to special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (other than special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages suffered by third persons for which responsibility is allocated between the Parties) and each Party, for itself and on behalf of their affiliates, hereby expressly waive any right to special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

20.           Construction.  It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement shall not be construed for or against any Party.
 
By adding Section 21 as follows:
 
21.           Enforcement Actions.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11, as amended herein, in any suit brought to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to establish a breach hereof, the Party bringing such suit, if successful therein, shall also be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs incurred in connection therewith.
 
By adding Section 22 as follows:
