Item 1.01  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On January 9, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation (the “Company”) conducted a private offering (the “Private Offering”) and entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (individually, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”) whereby the Company issued and sold  to the Investors 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate amount of $525,000 and Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to one million four hundred fifty-eight thousand three hundred thirty-three (1,458,333) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”).

Subsequent to the Closing Date, an additional investment by two other Investors was made, in which the Company received gross proceeds of $350,000 and issued additional Notes in the aggregate amount of $350,000 and Warrants to purchase up to nine hundred seventy-two thousand two hundred twenty-two (972,222) Warrant Shares. To date, the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this Private Offering are $875,000.

The Notes are due upon written demand of Investors holding a majority in interest of outstanding Notes, provided, however, that such demand cannot be made prior to January 9, 2016 and will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

The Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the option of the Investor, at the lower of (i) $0.12 or (ii) the higher of (x) $0.05 or (y) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, subject to adjustment upon certain events, as set forth in the Note. The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Registrable Securities.”

The Company has the right, at any time after the later of (i) February 28, 2015 and (ii) the date that the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) is declared effective, to redeem some or all of the outstanding Notes, upon 30 days prior written notice.  If the Notes are redeemed prior to the first anniversary of issuance, the redemption price shall equal 110% of the amount of principal and interest being redeemed.

The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the Investor, for seven (7) years after issuance, in whole or in part, at an exercise price equal to the lower of (i) $0.132 or (ii) the higher of (x) $0.06 or (y) 110% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise, subject to adjustment upon certain events, as set forth in the Warrant.

The convertibility of the Notes and the exercisability of the Warrants each may be limited if, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be), the holder thereof or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% of Common Stock.

To secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Company granted the Investors a security interest in certain of one of its subsidiary’s assets in the Company as described in the Deed of Trust, Mortgage, Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production, as amended (the “Security Agreement”).  In addition, pursuant to a guarantee, one of the Company’s subsidiaries agreed to guarantee the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, of all amounts owed by the Company in respect of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the other transaction documents executed in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Company has agreed to file, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or as many of such Registrable Securities as permitted by Rule 415 of the Securities Act.  If all Registrable Securities cannot be registered on the initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall file additional registration statements until all the Registrable Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act.
 
 
2

 

On the Closing Date, the Company reimbursed the lead Investor for all costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents in an amount equal to $55,000.

The Notes and Warrants sold in the Private Offering were not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2), Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Each Investor represented that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.    Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP represented the Company in connection with the Private Offering.

This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.

The foregoing information is a summary of the agreements involved in the Private Offering described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Readers should review such agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this Private Offering.

(a) Appointment of Agent.  Each Buyer hereby expressly and irrevocably designates Pacsquale DeAngelis (the “Agent”) as Agent to act as herein specified.  Each Buyer hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Buyers, and neither the Company nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other than Section 9(e)) nor shall the Company have any obligations under this Section 9.  In performing its functions and duties under this Section 9, Agent shall act solely as agent of Buyers and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company.
 
(b) Nature of Duties of Agent.  Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable order.  The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer; and nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
 
 
18

 
 
(c) Certain Rights of Agent.  Agent shall have the right to request instructions from the Required Holders at any time.  If Agent shall request instructions from the Required Holders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Holders, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Holders.
 
(e) Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other documentary, teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person.  Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Company with respect to matters concerning the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
(f) Indemnification of Agent.  To the extent that Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company, the Buyers will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, in proportion to each Buyer’s pro rata share of the dollar amount of the Notes purchased thereby.  The obligations of the Buyers under this Section 9 shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities (as hereinafter defined) and the termination of this Agreement.
 
(g) Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its obligation under this Agreement, any Notes issued to it, Agent in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Buyer or holder of a Note, as the case may be, and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Buyers,” “Required Holders,” “holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity.
 
 
19

 
 
(h) Successor Agent.
 
(i) Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Buyers and the Company, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Buyers and the Company.  Upon any such resignation, the Buyers shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice and approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent (i) shall have been so appointed by the Buyers, and (ii) shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five (5) days’ notice, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Buyers, appoint a successor Agent.  If at any time Agent has resigned hereunder and no successor Agent has been appointed in such resigning Agent’s stead, the Buyers shall be deemed to be the “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and Buyers shall act as Agent hereunder and under the Transaction Documents until a successor Agent is so appointed.
 
(ii) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.
 
(i) Collateral Matters.
 
(i) Each Buyer expressly and irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into any Collateral Documents (as hereinafter defined) and other Transaction Documents for the benefit of Buyers.  Each Buyer hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and the exercise by the Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Buyers. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Buyers, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Buyer, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral as hereinafter defined) or Transaction Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens (as hereinafter defined) upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents.  In this regard, each Buyer authorizes and directs Agent to take such action, which Agent, in its discretion (subject only to applicable law), deems necessary or desirable with respect to Collateral located in a foreign jurisdiction to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
 
(ii) Buyers hereby expressly and irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien (as hereinafter defined) granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of this Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all of the Liabilities at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  In addition, Buyers hereby authorize Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (i) constituting property being sold or disposed of upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale by Agent if the Company certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (ii) constituting Collateral with a value as certified to Agent by the Company of less than $50,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).  Upon request by Agent at any time, Buyers will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9(f).
 
 
20

 
 
(iii) Upon the release of any Lien in accordance with Section 9(f)(ii), and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company, Agent shall (and is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized by Buyers to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of such Liens; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Liabilities or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Company in respect of) all interests retained by the Company, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
 
(iv) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Buyers or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or any other Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 9(f) or in any of the Transaction Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Buyers, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable order.
 
(j) Definitions.  For purposes of Section 9, the terms set forth below shall have the corresponding meanings provided below.
 
Collateral” shall mean all property and/or rights on or in which a Lien or security interest is granted to the Buyers (or to any agent, trustee or other party acting on behalf of any one or more of the Buyers) to secure all or any of the Liabilities, including any such Lien or security interest pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or any other agreements, instruments or documents provided for herein or therein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith.

Liens means any mortgage, lien, title claim, assignment, encumbrance, security interest, adverse claim, contract of sale, restriction on use or transfer or other defect of title of any kind.
 
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 
 
22

 
 
(b) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
 
(c) Headings; Gender.  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.  Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof.  The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
 
(d) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.
 
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect.  Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.  For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding.  No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only).  “Required Holders” means holders of a majority in interest of the outstanding Notes.

(f) Notices.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, if delivered personally; (ii) when sent, if sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); (iii) when sent, if sent by e-mail (provided that such sent e-mail is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s e-mail server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient) and (iv) if sent by overnight courier service, one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

A copy of the e-mail transmission containing the time, date and recipient e-mail address shall be rebuttable evidence of receipt by e-mail in accordance with clause (iii) above.

(g) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Securities.  The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.  A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
 
(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
(i) Survival.  The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing.  Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
 
(j) Further Assurances.  Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(k) Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer against and in respect of any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, deficiency, and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever through all appeals) arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant, representation or other provision made by it in the Transaction Documents.
 
 
25

 
 
(l) Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against and in respect of any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, deficiency, and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever through all appeals) arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by the Purchaser to comply with any covenant, representation or other provision made by it in the Transaction Documents, provided, however, that such indemnity, shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by the Company from the Buyer as a result of the sale of Securities to the Buyer.
 
(n) Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.  No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty.  Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.
 
(o) Remedies.  Each Buyer and each holder of any Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law.  Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.  Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers.  The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
 
(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer.  Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents.  The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.  Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
 
 
26

 
 
(q) Omnibus Signature Page.  This Agreement is intended to be read and construed in conjunction with the Transaction Documents pertaining to the issuance by the Company of the Notes and Warrants to Buyers.  Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that the execution by the Buyer and the Company of this Agreement, in the place set forth herein, shall constitute an agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of both this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with the same effect as if both this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were separately signed.

Section 4.                      Conversion.
 
a) Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d)).  The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”).  The Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.  To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the accrued and then unpaid interest on this Note and thereafter lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.  Following delivery of the Notice of Conversion to the Company, the Company shall promptly update the Conversion Schedule (showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s)) and deliver the same to the Holder.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note and accrued interest therein may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Conversion Price.  The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to the lower of (i) $0.12 or (ii) the higher of (x) $0.05 or (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c)  Mechanics of Conversion.
 
i. Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.  The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price.  “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the principal to be converted plus all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the principal amount.

ii. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (if the Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company and has not been an Affiliate during the preceding three (3) months) or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. On or after the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
iii. Failure to Deliver Certificates.  If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iv. Obligation Absolute; Potential Liquidated Damages.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii)  by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after 10 Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such fifth Trading Day until such certificates are delivered.  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder.  In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion.  The Holder shall have the right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii).  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
vi. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
 
10

 

vii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

viii. Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
 
11

 

d) Holder’s Conversion Limitations.  The Company shall not affect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s  or such Persons’ Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and any Persons deemed to act as a group together with the Holder and any of the Holder’s or such Person’s Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.   For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 5.                      Certain Adjustments.
 
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(a), the number of Conversion Shares which may be issued upon conversion of this Note or as payment interest hereon shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment, the aggregate amount of the adjusted Conversion Price multiplied by the aggregate adjusted amount of Conversion Shares shall equal the aggregate amount of the unadjusted Conversion Price multiplied by the aggregate unadjusted amount of Conversion Shares.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Note  is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders (and not to Holders on a pro-rata basis) of Common Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash or cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Closing Price on such record date less the then the per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock (determined by dividing the amount distributed by the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock), as the case may be, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
 
13

 

c) Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the seven year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
 
Section 1.                      Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated January 9, 2015, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
 
Section 2.                      Exercise.
 
a) Exercise of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within 3 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received  payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within 3 Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
 
1

 
 
b) Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be the lower of (i) $0.132 or (ii) the higher of (x) $0.06 or (y) 110% of the VWAP (as defined below) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the delivery of the facsimile copy of the applicable Notice of Exercise Form, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
 
c) Cashless Exercise.  If at any time there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder then this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
 
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
 
 
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
 
 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
For purposes of this Warrant, “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. New York City time to 4:00 p.m. New York City time); (b)  if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the average bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported for the twenty (20) trading days prior to such date; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. For purposes of this Warrant, “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex, NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, or OTC Bulletin Board.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d) Exercise Limitations.  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

e) Mechanics of Exercise.
 
i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale without volume and manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received (or deemed received in the event of a cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c)) by the Company if such date is after the Notice of Exercise Form.  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
 
 
4

 
 
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii. Rescission Rights.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon reasonable request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
 
5

 
 
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
 
vii. Closing of Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3.                      Certain Adjustments.
 
a)           Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(a), the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment, the aggregate amount of the adjusted Exercise Price multiplied by the aggregate adjusted amount of Warrant Shares shall equal the aggregate amount of the unadjusted Exercise Price multiplied by the aggregate unadjusted amount of Warrant Shares.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall (x) with respect to clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 3(a), become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and (y) with respect to clauses (ii) – (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3(a), become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b)           Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Price determined as of the record date or effective date, as the case may be, mentioned in Section 3(a), and of which the numerator shall be such Closing Price on such date less the then per share fair market value at such date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock (determined by dividing the amount distributed by the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock) as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

c)           Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities (other than capital stock of the Company), cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (“Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon, or as a result of, such Fundamental Transaction by a Holder holding the number of Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant immediately prior to the occurence of such event.  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in connection with such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to such securities, cash or property that it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
7

 

 
d)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
e)           Notice to Holder.
 
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
 
8

 
 
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
 
Section 4.                      Transfer of Warrant.
 
a) Transferability.  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
 
9

 
 
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
Section 5.                      Miscellaneous.
 
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
 
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
 
10

 
 
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
d) Authorized Shares.
 
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock such number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
 
11

 
 
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
f) Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
 
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
h) Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
i) Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
j) Remedies.  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
k) Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
l) Amendment.  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and Holders holding Warrants at least equal to a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all then outstanding Warrants.
 
 
12

 
 
m) Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
n) Headings.  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

(D) the Company fails to file a Registration Statement or prior to its Filing Date following notification of an objection with respect thereto from the Holders pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof provided that such Registration Statement is filed not later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt by the Company of written notice of the withdrawal of such objection; (E) all of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Purchaser without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); (F) such Registrable Securities were excluded from a Registration Statement by election of a Purchaser; and (G) the Company is unable to fulfill its registration obligations solely as a result of rules, regulations, positions or releases issued or actions taken by the Commission pursuant to its authority with respect to “Rule 415”, and the Company registers at such time the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permissible upon consultation with the staff of the SEC, which shares will be reduced by on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Holders (and the Company agrees that it shall be required to register any remaining Registrable Securities as soon as allowed under SEC rules and regulations); and provided, further, that no liquidated damages shall be paid that are in excess of 20% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any issued and outstanding unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
 
 
12

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially determined to be not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution.  If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by such Holder.
 
 
13

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(d) Discontinued Disposition.  By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable.

(e) Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.
 
 
14

 

(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and a majority of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign its rights (except by merger) or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

(i) Intentionally Omitted.

(j) Execution and Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(k) Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(l) Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
 
 
15

 

(m) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(n) Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(o) Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(p) Omnibus Signature Page. With respect to the Purchasers, this Agreement is intended to be read and construed in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such related agreements, it is hereby agreed that the execution by any Purchaser of the Purchase Agreement, in the place set forth therein, shall constitute his/her agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, with the same effect as if each of such separate but related agreements were separately signed.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.
 
 
18

 
 
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
 
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
 
19

 
 
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Mortgagor covenants and agrees not create or suffer to be created or permit to exist any lien, or security interest senior to, junior to, or on a parity with, the lien and security interest of this Mortgage upon the Subject Interests or any part thereof or upon the rents, issues, revenues, profits and other income therefrom, except Permitted Encumbrances. “Permitted Encumbrances” means: (i) liens for taxes not yet delinquent; (ii) the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations contained in the Leases, as defined in Exhibit A, and any intervening assignments thereof through which Mortgagor acquired its interest therein, including lessor’s royalties and similar burdens on production that do not operate to reduce the Net Revenue Interest of Mortgagor in the Subject Interests to less than that set forth in Exhibit A; (iii) the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth in any existing agreements affecting the Leases or the Lands; (iv) minor irregularities in title which do not (a) materially interfere with the occupation, use and enjoyment by Mortgagor of the Subject Interests in the normal course of business as presently conducted, or (b) materially impair the value thereof for such business; (v) all interests in the Subject Interests securing obligations owed to, or claimed by, any party other than the Secured Holders whether such interest is based on the common law, statute or contract, and whether such interest includes liens or security interests arising by virtue of mortgage, encumbrance, pledge, security agreement, conditional sale or trust receipt or lease, consignment or bailment for security purposes, so long as each such interest has been previously disclosed to the Secured Holders in writing; (vi) liens of landlords, vendors, carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, laborers and materialmen arising by law, and of operators arising by contract, in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due or being contested in good faith by appropriate action promptly initiated and diligently conducted, if such reserve as shall be required by generally accepted accounting principles shall have been made therefor; and, (vii) the specific exceptions and encumbrances affecting each the Subject Interests INSOFAR ONLY as said exceptions and encumbrances are valid and subsisting and are enforceable against the particular Lease which is made subject to said exception and encumbrance. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, should an adverse claim be made against or a cloud develop upon the title to any part of the Subject Interests, Mortgagor agrees that at Borrower’s expense it will immediately defend against such adverse claim or take appropriate action to remove such cloud, and Mortgagor agrees that Collateral Agent may take such other action as Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable to protect and preserve Secured Holders interests in the Subject Interests, and in such event Borrower will indemnify Collateral Agent against any and all costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses which it may reasonably incur in defending against any such adverse claim or taking action to remove any such cloud.

D.        Taxes/Insurance. Mortgagor will, at Borrower’s expense, carry with standard insurance companies satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, insurance with respect to the Subject Interests against such liabilities, casualties, risks, and contingencies and in amounts as is customary in the industry; and acceptable certificates evidencing the same thereof shall be delivered to Collateral Agent annually after the execution of this Mortgage. Mortgagor will at all times, at Borrower’s expense, maintain workers’ compensation insurance with a responsible insurance company where required by, and in accordance with, the laws of the state (i) in which the Subject Interests are located or (ii) which requires workers’ compensation to be maintained on such employees. In the event Borrower shall fail or neglect to pay any taxes, general or special, or shall fail or neglect to relieve the Subject Interests from any lien which might become superior or equal to the lien of this Mortgage, or fail to carry such workers’ compensation or other insurance, Collateral Agent, at its option, may pay such taxes, liens, charges or encumbrances, or any part thereof, or effect such workmen’s compensation insurance, and Borrower will promptly reimburse Collateral Agent, as the case may be, therefor; and any and all such sums so paid hereunder shall be paid by Borrower upon demand at Collateral Agent’s principal offices, and shall constitute a part of the Secured Indebtedness. The policies of insurance required by this paragraph shall be endorsed to name Collateral Agent as an additional insured party thereunder.

G.         Waivers. Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or privileges of marshalling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, notices, appraisements, redemption, and any prerequisite to the full extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of foreclosure of the lien or liens and/or security interests created herein. Collateral Agent at all times shall have the right to release any part of the Subject Interests now or hereafter subject to the lien or security interest of this Mortgage, any part of the proceeds of production or other income herein or hereafter assigned or pledged, or any other security it now has or may hereafter have securing the Secured Indebtedness, without releasing any other part of the Subject Interests, proceeds or income, and without affecting the liens or security interests hereof as to the part or parts thereof not so released, or the right to receive future proceeds and income.

H.        Disposition. Without prior approval and written consent of Collateral Agent, Mortgagor will not sell, assign, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Subject Interests except as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
 
I.        Notice of Assignments. Upon request of Collateral Agent, Mortgagor will execute and deliver written notices of assignments to any persons, corporations or other entities owing or which may in the future owe to Mortgagor monies or accounts arising in connection with any of the following matters: (a) any oil, gas or mineral production from the Subject Interests; (b) any gas contracts, processing contracts or other contracts relating to the Subject Interests; or (c) the operation of or production from any part of the Subject Interests. The notices of assignments shall advise the third parties that all of the monies or accounts described above have been assigned to Collateral Agent, and if required by Collateral Agent, shall also require and direct that future payments thereof, including amounts then owing and unpaid, be paid directly to Collateral Agent.
 
J.        Pooling. Except as required by law, rule or regulation, Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, which consent shall not be arbitrarily, unreasonably, or capriciously withheld, hereafter pool or unitize the Subject Interests if to do so would result in the diminution of Mortgagor’s net revenue interest in production from the pooled or unitized lands. In such event, Mortgagor will furnish Collateral Agent a copy of the pooling agreement, declaration of pooling, or other instrument creating the pool or unit. The interest of Mortgagor hereafter included in any pool or unit attributable to the Subject Interests or any part thereof shall become a part of the Subject Interests and shall be subject to liens and security interests hereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the pool or unit and the interest of Mortgagor therein were specifically described in Exhibit A hereto. In the event any proceedings of any governmental body, which could result in pooling or unitizing all or any part of the Subject Interests, are commenced, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Collateral Agent.
 
ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT
 
A.        If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Trustee is authorized and empowered and it shall be Trustee’s special duty at the request of Collateral Agent to sell the Subject Interests, or any part thereof, as an entirety or in parcels, at such place or places and otherwise in the manner and upon such notice as may be required by law or, in the absence of any such requirement, as Trustee may deem appropriate. If Trustee shall have given notice of sale hereunder, any successor or substitute Trustee thereafter appointed may complete the sale and the conveyance of the property pursuant thereto as if such notice had been given by the successor or substitute Trustee conducting the sale. Cumulative of the foregoing and the other provisions paragraph as to any portion of the Mortgaged Properties located in the State of Texas, such sales of all or any part of such Mortgaged Properties shall be conducted at the courthouse of any county (whether or not the counties in which such Mortgaged Properties are located are contiguous) in the State of Texas in which any part of such Mortgaged Properties are situated, at public venue to the highest bidder for cash between the hours of ten o’clock a.m. and one o’clock p.m. on the first Tuesday in any month or at such other place, time and date as provided by the statutes of the State of Texas then in force governing sales of real estate under powers conferred by deed of trust, after having given notice of such sale in accordance with such statutes.

B.        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if any of the Secured Indebtedness shall become due and payable and shall not be promptly paid, Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have the right and power to proceed by a suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder or for the sale of the Subject Interests under the judgment or decree of any court or courts of competent jurisdiction, or for the appointment of a receiver pending any foreclosure hereunder or the sale of the Subject Interests under the order of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or under executory or other legal process, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy. Any money advanced by Collateral Agent in connection with any such receivership shall be a demand obligation (which obligation Borrower hereby expressly promises to pay) owing by Borrower to Collateral Agent and shall bear interest from the date of making such advance by Collateral Agent until paid at the Default Rate.
 
C.        The Subject Interests may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Trustee, in his sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
 
D.        Upon the happening of any of the Events of Default, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights, powers and remedies afforded a secured party by the UCC with reference to the personal property, as-extracted collateral and fixtures in which Collateral Agent has been granted a security interest hereby, or Collateral Agent may proceed as to both the real and personal property covered hereby.
 
E.         The Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Collateral Agent, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Collateral Agent.  In case of the death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of Trustee, or if for any reason Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, then Collateral Agent shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or a substitute trustee, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Collateral Agent and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment of other successor and substitute trustees successively until the Secured Indebtedness has been paid in full, or until the Subject Interests or any part thereof, is sold hereunder.  If Collateral Agent is a corporation or association and such appointment is executed in its behalf by an officer of such corporation or association, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation or association.  Collateral Agent may act through an agent or attorney-in-fact in substituting trustees.  Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Subject Interests shall vest in the named successor or substitute Trustee and such successor or substitute shall thereupon succeed to, and shall hold, possess and execute, all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but nevertheless, upon the written request of Collateral Agent or of the successor or substitute Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or substitute Trustee all of the estate and title in the Subject Interests of the Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon the Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute Trustee.  All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.

F.        Every right, power and remedy herein given to Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law or by statute (including specifically those granted by the UCC in effect and applicable to the Subject Interests or any portion thereof) each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and so often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Collateral Agent, and the exercise, or the beginning of the exercise, of any such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Trustee or Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.
 
G.        Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay all or any part of the Secured Indebtedness by reason of (a) the failure of Collateral Agent to comply with any request of Borrower to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage or to enforce any provision hereunder or under the Transaction Documents; (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the Subject Interests or any portion thereof or interest therein or the addition of any other property to the Subject Interests; or (c) by any other act or occurrence save and except the complete payment of the Secured Indebtedness and the complete fulfillment of all obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.
 
H.         Collateral Agent may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Subject Interests without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by this Mortgage or its stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Subject Interests, and without in any way releasing or diminishing the liability of any person or entity liable for the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness. For payment of the Secured Indebtedness, Collateral Agent may resort to any other security therefor held by Collateral Agent in such order and manner as Collateral Agent may elect.
 
I.         To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of any present or future moratorium law or other law exempting the Subject Interests from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment; (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of Collateral Agent’s intention to accelerate maturity of the Secured Indebtedness or of its election to exercise (or his actual exercise of) any right, remedy or recourse provided for hereunder or under the Transaction Documents; and (c) any right to a marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation. If any law referred to in this Mortgage and now in force, (of which Borrower or Mortgagor or their successor or successors might take advantage despite the provisions hereof), shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall thereafter be deemed not to constitute any part of the contract herein contained or to preclude the operation or application of the provisions hereof.
 
 
11

 
 
J.        In case Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Holders, shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the Transaction Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Collateral Agent shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such an event, Borrower, Mortgagor and Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Secured Indebtedness, this Mortgage, the Transaction Documents, the Subject Interests and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Collateral Agent shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
 
K.        The proceeds of any sale of the Subject Interests or any part thereof and all other monies received by Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Holders, through any proceedings for the enforcement hereof or otherwise, whose application has not elsewhere herein been specifically provided for, shall be applied:
 
FIRST, to the payment of all expenses incurred by Collateral Agent incident to the enforcement of this Mortgage, the Transaction Documents or any of the Secured Indebtedness (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, expenses of any entry or taking of possession, of any sale, of advertisement thereof and of conveyances, and court costs, compensation of agents and employees, and reasonable legal fees, and to the payment of all other charges, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Collateral Agent under this Mortgage or in executing any power hereunder;
 
SECOND, to payment of the Secured Indebtedness in such order and manner as Collateral Agent may elect; and
 
THIRD, to Mortgagor or as otherwise required by any applicable law.
 
THE TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR ACT DONE BY TRUSTEE IN GOOD FAITH, OR BE OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE TRUSTEE’S NEGLIGENCE), EXCEPT FOR TRUSTEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. The Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by the Trustee hereunder, believed by the Trustee in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by him hereunder. Borrower and Mortgagor hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts which the herein named Trustee or its successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. Borrower will reimburse Trustee for, and indemnify and save Trustee harmless against, any and all liability and expenses (including attorney’s fees) which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of his duties.

ARTICLE VI
 
ASSIGNMENT OF PRODUCTION AND REVENUES
(this “Assignment”)
 
Production
 
A.        Upon and during an Event of Default, Mortgagor does hereby transfer, assign, deliver and convey unto Collateral Agent for the Secured Holders, its successors and assigns, all of the oil, gas and other minerals produced, saved or sold from the Subject Interests and attributable to the interest of Mortgagor therein subsequent to 7:00 a.m., local time, on the 1st day of the month in which an Event of Default occurs, together with the proceeds of any sale thereof (“Hydrocarbon Proceeds”);  Mortgagor hereby directs any purchaser now or hereafter taking any production from the Subject Interests, upon written notice by Collateral Agent, to pay to Collateral Agent such Hydrocarbon Proceeds derived from the sale thereof, and to continue to make payments directly to Collateral Agent until notified in writing by Collateral Agent to discontinue the same; and the purchaser of any such production shall have no duty or obligation to inquire into the right of Collateral Agent to receive the same, what application is made thereof, or as to any other matter; and the payment made to Collateral Agent shall be binding and conclusive as between such purchaser and Mortgagor. Mortgagor further agrees to perform all such acts, and to execute all such further assignments, transfer and division orders, and other instruments as may be required or desired by Collateral Agent or any other party to have such Hydrocarbon Proceeds so paid to Collateral Agent.
 
Revenues
 
B.        In addition to the conveyance to Collateral Agent herein made, upon and during an Event of Default, Mortgagor does hereby transfer, assign, deliver and convey unto Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, all the income, revenues, rents, issues, profits and proceeds arising from the Subject Interests and attributed to the interest of Mortgagor therein whether due, payable or accruing (collectively, the “Revenues”) under any and all present and future contracts or other agreements relating to the transmission of the Hydrocarbons or the ownership of all or any portion of the Subject Interests. Mortgagor hereby directs, upon written notice by Collateral Agent, any payor to pay to Collateral Agent such Revenues derived from such contracts and agreements, and to continue to make payments directly to Collateral Agent until notified in writing by Collateral Agent to discontinue the same; and the payor shall have no duty or obligation to inquire into the right of Collateral Agent to receive the same, what application is made thereof, or as to any other matter; and the payment made to Collateral Agent shall be binding and conclusive as between such payor and Mortgagor. Mortgagor agrees to perform all such acts, and to execute all such further assignments, transfers and other instruments as may be required or desired by the Collateral Agent or any party in order to have said Revenues so paid to the Collateral Agent.
 
 
13

 
 
General
 
C.        Upon and during an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is fully authorized to (i) receive and receipt for said Revenues and Hydrocarbon Proceeds; (ii) to endorse and cash any and all checks and drafts payable to the order of Mortgagor or the Collateral Agent for the account of Mortgagor received from or in connection with said Revenues and Hydrocarbon Proceeds and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, when received, regardless of the maturity of any of the Secured Indebtedness, or any installment thereof, and (iii) execute any instrument in the name of Mortgagor to facilitate any of the foregoing. Upon receipt of written instructions from Mortgagor, Collateral Agent agrees to release to Mortgagor any Revenues and Hydrocarbon Proceeds belonging to third parties; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any delay, neglect, or failure to effect collection of any Revenues and Hydrocarbon Proceeds or to take any other action in connection therewith or hereunder; but shall have the right, at its election, in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, to prosecute and defend any and all actions or legal proceedings deemed advisable by the Collateral Agent in order to collect such funds and to protect the interests of the Secured Holders and/or Mortgagor, with all costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith being paid by Borrower. Unless Collateral Agent has claimed or is claiming, for its benefit Revenues and Hydrocarbon Proceeds belonging to third parties and not attributable to the Subject Interests, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent against all claims, actions, liabilities, judgments, costs, charges and attorneys’ fees made against or incurred by it, based on the assertion that it received Revenues claimed by third persons either before or after the payment in full of the Secured Indebtedness. Collateral Agent shall have the right to defend against any such claims, actions and judgments, employing its attorneys therefor, and if it is not furnished with reasonable indemnity, it shall have the right to compromise and adjust any such claims, actions and judgments. Borrower agrees to indemnify and pay to the Collateral Agent any and all such claims, judgments, costs, charges and attorney’s fees as may be paid in any judgment, release or discharge thereof or as may be adjudged against the Collateral Agent.
 
D.        Should any purchaser or other party taking the production from the Subject Interests or owing payment to Mortgagor fail to make prompt payment to Collateral Agent in accordance with this Assignment, Collateral Agent shall, if permitted by Law, have the right at Borrower’s expense to demand a change of connection and to designate another purchaser or other party with whom a new connection may be made, without any liability on the part of Collateral Agent in making such selection, so long as ordinary care is used in the making thereof; and failure of Mortgagor to consent to and promptly effect such change of connection shall constitute an event of default hereunder, and the whole Secured Indebtedness may be immediately declared due and payable, at the option of Collateral Agent, and the Subject Interests shall become subject to the foreclosure proceedings hereunder.
 
E.         Mortgagor authorizes and empowers Collateral Agent to receive, hold and collect all sums of money paid to Collateral Agent in accordance with this Assignment, and to apply the same as hereinafter provided, all without any liability or responsibility on the part of Collateral Agent, save and except as to good faith in so receiving and applying such sums. All payments provided for in this Assignment shall be paid promptly to Collateral Agent, and any provisions contained in the Notes or any part thereof to the contrary notwithstanding, Collateral Agent may apply the same or so much thereof as it elects to the payment of the Secured Indebtedness, application to be made in such manner as it may elect, regardless of whether the application so made shall exceed the payments of principal and interest then due as provided in the Notes. After such application has been so made by Collateral Agent, the balance of any such payment or payments remaining shall be paid to Mortgagor. Collateral Agent agrees to give Mortgagor written notice simultaneously with its notice to the purchaser that such payments are to be paid to Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Article.
 
 
14

 
 
F.        It is understood and agreed that should such payments provided for by this Assignment be less than the sum or sums then due on the Secured Indebtedness, such sum or sums then due shall nevertheless be paid by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents evidencing the Secured Indebtedness, and neither this Assignment nor any provisions hereof shall in any manner be construed to affect the terms and provisions of such Transaction Documents. Likewise, neither this Assignment nor any provisions hereof shall in any manner be construed to affect the liens, rights, title and remedies herein granted securing the Secured Indebtedness or Borrower’s liability therefor. The rights under this Assignment are cumulative of all other rights, remedies, and powers granted under this Mortgage, and are cumulative of any other security which Collateral Agent now holds or may hereafter hold to secure the payment of the Secured Indebtedness.
 
G.        Should Mortgagor receive any of the proceeds, which under the terms hereof should have been remitted to Collateral Agent, Borrower will immediately remit same in full to Collateral Agent.
 
H.        Upon payment in full of all Secured Indebtedness, the remainder of such proceeds held by Collateral Agent, if any, shall be paid over to Mortgagor upon demand, and a release of the interest hereby assigned will be made by Collateral Agent to Mortgagor at their request and their expense.
 
I.         Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any failure to collect, or for any failure to exercise diligence in collecting, any funds assigned hereunder. Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for funds actually received.
 
J.         To the extent permissible under Applicable Law, Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that this Assignment is intended to be presently, unconditionally, and immediately effective. Furthermore and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Mortgagor agrees that Collateral Agent is not required to assert any affirmative act, including the institution of any legal proceedings, to enforce this Assignment.
 
ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL REMEDIES
 
A.        If Borrower or Mortgagor shall fail to perform or keep any of the covenants of whatsoever kind or nature contained in this instrument, Trustee, Collateral Agent or any receiver appointed hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, make advances to perform the same in Borrower’s or Mortgagor’s behalf, and Borrower shall repay such sums upon demand plus interest at the rate agreed upon in the Notes, from the date when same was so incurred or paid. No such advance shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by Collateral Agent of any Event of Default hereunder.
 
 
15

 
 
B.         To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in case any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, then in each and every such case Trustee (or any person, firm or corporation designated by Trustee), whether or not the Secured Indebtedness shall have been declared due and payable, in addition to the other rights and remedies hereunder, may exercise the following additional remedy, but shall not be obligated so to do: Trustee (or any person, firm or corporation designated by Trustee) may enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and may exclude Mortgagor, their agents and servants wholly therefrom and have, hold, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and produce the oil, gas and other minerals therefrom and market the same, all at the sole risk and expense of Borrower and at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, applying the net proceeds so derived, first, to the cost of maintenance and operation of such Mortgaged Property; second, to the payment of all Secured Indebtedness secured hereby, principal and interest, application to be made first to interest and then to principal; and the balance thereof, if any, shall be paid to Mortgagor.
 
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
 
A.        Any provision in any document that may be executed in connection herewith to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent shall in no event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall any amounts received hereunder be credited so that the Collateral Agent shall be paid as interest, a sum greater than that authorized by Law. If any possible construction of this Mortgage or any instrument evidencing the Secured Indebtedness, or any or all other notes, guaranties or papers relating to the Secured Indebtedness, seems to indicate any possibility of a different power given to the Collateral Agent, or any authority to ask for, demand, or receive any larger rate of interest, such as a mistake in calculation or wording, this clause shall override and control, and proper adjustments shall be made accordingly.
 
B.        This Mortgage, for convenience only, has been divided into Articles and paragraphs, and it is understood that the rights, powers, privileges, duties and other legal relations of the parties hereto shall be determined from this Mortgage as an entirety and without regard to the aforesaid division into Articles and paragraphs and without regard to headings prefixed to such Articles.
 
C.        The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, successors and assigns of such parties; the term “successors” shall include the heirs, trustees and legal representatives; and the term “Collateral Agent” shall also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of any Secured Indebtedness. Whenever the context requires, reference herein made to the single number shall be understood to include the plural and the plural shall likewise be understood to include the singular. Words denoting sex shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine, and neuter when such construction is appropriate, and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general, but shall be construed as cumulative.

D.        Every right and remedy provided for herein shall be cumulative of each and every other right or remedy of Collateral Agent, whether herein or otherwise conferred, and may be enforced concurrently therewith, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any one or more provisions, clauses, sentences or paragraphs of this Mortgage shall not render any other provision, clause, sentence or paragraph unenforceable or invalid. No security theretofore, herewith, or subsequently taken by Collateral Agent shall in any manner impair or affect the security given by this Mortgage or any security by endorsement or otherwise presently or previously given, and all security shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies expressly set forth herein, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all other rights and remedies at law and in equity, which rights and remedies, together with rights and remedies described above are cumulative.
 
E.        This Mortgage shall be binding upon the parties, their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and the covenants and agreements herein contained shall constitute covenants running with the land.
 
F.        It is contemplated by the parties hereto that from time to time additional interests and properties may or will be added to the interests and properties on Exhibit A attached hereto by means of supplements or amendments identifying this Mortgage and describing such interests and properties to be so added and included, and upon the execution of any such supplements or amendments, the lien, rights, titles and interests created herein shall immediately attach to and be effective as of the date of such supplemental indenture in respect to any such interests and properties so described, and the same being included in the term “Subject Interests,” as used herein.
 
G.        This Mortgage shall be deemed, and may be enforced from time to time, as a chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, assignment, or contract, or as one or more thereof.
 
H.        [RESERVED]
 
I.         This Mortgage may be filed as provided in Article 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code relating to the granting of security interests. In this connection, this instrument will be presented to a filing officer under the Uniform Commercial Code to be filed in the real estate records as a Financing Statement covering minerals and fixtures, pursuant to Section 9.502(c) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code.
 
J.         For purposes of filing this Mortgage as a financing statement, the addresses for Mortgagor, as the Debtor, and Collateral Agent, as the secured party, are as set forth hereinabove.

L.        The failure or delay of Collateral Agent to file or give any notice as to this Mortgage, or to exercise any right, remedy or option to declare the maturity of the principal debt, or any other sums hereby secured, or the payment by Collateral Agent of any taxes, liens, charges or assessments, shall not be taken or deemed a waiver of any rights to exercise such right or option or to declare any such maturity as to any past or subsequent violations of any of such covenants or stipulations, and shall not waive or prejudice any right or lien hereunder. Any election or failure by Collateral Agent to exercise any rights, remedies or options hereunder shall not constitute a waiver or prejudice the exercise of other rights or remedies existing hereunder. All rights, powers, immunities, remedies and liens of Collateral Agent existing and to exist hereunder or under any other instruments.
 
M.       In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and those of the Transaction Documents, or in the event that obligations imposed upon the Borrower in the Mortgage and the Transaction Documents in relation to non-monetary matters are inconsistent and require differing levels of performance, the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents shall govern and control.
 
N.        This Mortgage is executed by Collateral Agent solely for the purpose of acknowledging and accepting the benefits conferred on the Collateral Agent and to evidence the agreements of Collateral Agent set forth herein.
 
O.        Borrower and Collateral Agent intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the parties stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Mortgage shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable Law from time to time in effect. Neither Borrower nor any other party hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Secured Indebtedness shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully charged under applicable Law from time to time in effect. Collateral Agent expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Secured Indebtedness is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Secured Indebtedness is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Secured Indebtedness is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c) Collateral Agent or any other holder of any or all of the Secured Indebtedness shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Secured Indebtedness to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable Law then in effect, then all such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Secured Indebtedness or, at Borrower’s or such holder’s option, promptly returned to Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific circumstance exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law, Borrower or Collateral Agent (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Secured Indebtedness in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under applicable Law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable Law.

P.        THIS MORTGAGE SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ITS SUBJECT MATTER AND CONSTITUTES (ALONG WITH THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS MORTGAGE) A COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ITS SUBJECT MATTER. THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE AMENDED EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY THE PARTY TO BE CHARGED WITH THE AMENDMENT. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT APPLY MANDATORILY, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF.
 
Q.        The liability of Mortgagor to pay the Notes is not limited to the Mortgaged Property and all proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, the Subject Interests, as defined herein – that is to say the Notes are full recourse notes as to Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s legal representatives, successors and assigns.  The Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and/or the Secured Holders may seek any judgment for a deficiency against Mortgagor or Mortgagor’s legal representatives, successors or assigns, in any action to enforce any right or remedy under this Mortgage, or any Transaction Document.
 
R.        Mortgagor expects to benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Purchase Agreement and the execution and delivery by Borrower of the Notes.
 
S.        Mortgagor is entering into this Mortgage with Collateral Agent for the purpose, among other things, of securing and providing for the repayment of certain amounts by Borrower to Secured Holders pursuant to the Notes.
 
T.        A condition precedent to entering into the Purchase Agreement by the Secured Holders is the execution and delivery by Mortgagor of this Mortgage.
 
U.        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the full payment of the Secured Indebtedness all of the Subject Interests shall revert to Mortgagor and the entire estate, right, title and interest of Trustee and Collateral Agent shall thereupon cease; and Trustee and Collateral Agent in such case shall, upon the request of Mortgagor and at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, deliver to Mortgagor, proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of this instrument, which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Mortgagor.

GUARANTEE
 
This GUARANTEE ("Guarantee") dated as of January 9, 2015 ("Effective Date"), by Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation, a Texas corporation ("Guarantor"), in favor of Jay Moorin, as Trustee under the Deed of Trust, Mortgage Security Agreement, Financing Statement and Assignment of Production dated as of the Effective Date from Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation, a Nevada corporation (as Borrower) (the "Borrower") and Guarantor (as Mortgagor and Debtor) to the Trustee, as trustee (the "Mortgage") and Pasquale DeAngelis, as Collateral Agent ("Collateral Agent") under and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of the Effective Date between the Borrower and the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto (the "Buyers").
 
WHEREAS, the Buyers willing to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement and the Buyers are willing to purchase the senior secured notes (the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") issued thereunder (collectively, the "Securities"); provided, that it is a condition precedent to the Buyers' willingness and agreement to execute the Purchase Agreement, the Collateral Agent's willingness to serve pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Buyers' willingness and agreement to purchase the Securities that the Guarantor execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent and Trustee this Guarantee and enter into the Mortgage.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
WHEREAS, the Guarantor shall receive a benefit from the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the sale by Borrower of the Securities.
 
THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
 
Section 1. Guarantee.
 
(a) Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of (i) all amounts due and payable under the Notes, (ii) all amounts payable by Borrower to the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee under any of the Transaction Documents and (iii) and all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee or Collateral Agent in connection with the collection or enforcement of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Guarantor or the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar Bankruptcy Laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  The books and records of Buyers showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding.  This Guarantee shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee (other than the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.
 
 
 

 
 
Section 2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments.  The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.  If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Buyers) is imposed upon the Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Buyers, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Buyers to receive the same net amount which the Buyers would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor.  The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Buyers certificates or other valid vouchers or other evidence satisfactory to the Buyers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder.  The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
 
Section 3. Changes to the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantor consents and agrees that any of the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof amend, extend, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor or suretyship defense.
 
Section 4. Certain Waivers.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any of the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee) of the liability of the Borrower (other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations whether by payment or conversion of the Notes into Common Stock of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Notes); (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) any right to require the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in their power whatsoever; (d) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Collateral Agent and/or Trustee; and (e) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties (other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), except to the extent that such defense relates to an election of remedies constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent and/or Trustee.  The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to this Guarantee, (ii) presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment and any other notice with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) any requirement that the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee take any action against the Borrower or any other person or entity, (iv) all setoffs and considerations, and (v) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement of this Guarantee or the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder.
 
 
2

 
 
Section 5. Obligations Independent.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
 
Section 6. Subrogation.  The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guarantee until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guarantee have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for the further benefit of the Buyers) and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Buyers) to reduce on a pro rata basis, when due, the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.  After any amounts payable under this Guarantee have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full, Guarantor may pursue any reimbursement or remedies it may have against the Borrower in connection with the failure to make any payments that result in the Guarantor being required to make payments under this Guarantee.  The Guarantor shall not take any action that would directly or indirectly impair the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations to the Buyers.
 
Section 7. Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guarantee is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (unless such amounts have been converted by the applicable Buyer to Common Stock in accordance with its Note).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantor is made, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee is in possession of or have released this Guarantee and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guarantee.
 
 
3

 
 
Section 8. Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor or the Borrower under any Bankruptcy Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Collateral Agent.
 
Section 9. Expenses.  The Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Collateral Agent, Trustee or  Buyers, under this Guarantee, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Collateral Agent, Trustee or Buyers, in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Laws.  The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guarantee.
 
Section 10. Condition of the Borrower.  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower as the Guarantor requires, and that neither the Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any of the Buyers has any duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on any of them at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
 
Section 11. Indemnification and Survival.  Without limitation of any other obligations of the Guarantor or remedies of the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee, under this Guaranty, except to the extent resulting from such indemnified party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable out-of pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be suffered or incurred by the Buyers, Collateral Agent or Trustee in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be paid to the Buyers, Collateral Agent and/or Trustee, as the case may be, the Borrower (including without limitation, based on any failure of any Guarantor Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower) in accordance with their terms.  The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guarantee.
 
Section 12. Successors and Assigns.  This Guarantee shall (i) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (ii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent and Trustee and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
 
 
4

 
 
Section 13. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby represents warrants and covenants that this Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, and is enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
 
Section 14. Amendments and Modification.  No provision hereof shall be modified, altered or limited except by written instrument expressly referring to this Guarantee and to such provision, and executed by the party to be charged.
 
Section 15. Rights and Remedies Not Waived.  No act, omission or delay by the Collateral Agent or Trustee shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise.  No single or partial waiver by the Collateral Agent or Trustee of any default hereunder or right or remedy which it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion.
 
Section 16. PDFs/Facsimiles/Counterparts.  This Guarantee may be signed in counterparts and may be delivered by email PDF or facsimile and if so delivered shall be deemed as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence.
 
Section 17. Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or Trustee or the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be in writing and given to c/o ProQuest Investments, 2430 Vanderbilt Beach Road 108-190, Naples, Florida 34109.
 
Section 18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Guarantee and all matters or issues collateral thereto will be governed by the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts performed entirely therein.
 
The New York State Courts located in New York County and the U.S. District Courts located in New York County will have jurisdiction over the interpretation of this Guarantee.  The venue for any such action concerning this Agreement will be in the County of New York.
 
Section 19. Captions; Separability; Interpretation.
 
(a) The captions of the Sections and subsections of this Guarantee have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guarantee.
 
(b) If any term of this Guarantee shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.
