measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and our development program. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that are ultimately recovered.</font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this prospectus are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

In addition, under some circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although our Board is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, the Board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some or a majority of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of the stock.

style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Under the provisions of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (&#8220;NRS&#8221;), the Company is required to indemnify any present or former officer or director against expenses arising out of legal proceedings in which the director or officer becomes involved by reason of being a director or officer, if the director or officer is successful in the defense of such proceedings. Section 78.7502 also provides that the Company may indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding in which he is not successful in defending if it is determined that he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, in the case of a criminal action, if it is determined that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, and in either event, provided the director is not liable for a breach of the duties set out in Section 78.138 of the NRS. Liabilities for which a director or officer may be indemnified include amounts paid in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and other expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees incurred in connection with such proceedings). In a stockholder derivative action, no indemnification may be paid in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company (except for expenses allowed by a court).</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Under the provisions of the Company&#8217;s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify officers or directors (while the current provisions of Section 78.7502 of the NRS provide for &#8220;permissive&#8221; indemnification). Except with respect to stockholder derivative actions, the bylaw provisions generally state that the director or officer will be indemnified against expenses, amounts paid in settlement and judgments, fines, penalties and&#47;or other amounts incurred with respect to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, provided that (i) such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The foregoing standards also apply with respect to the indemnification for expenses incurred in a stockholder derivative suit. However, a director or officer may only be indemnified for settlement amounts or judgments incurred in a derivative suit to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In accordance with the NRS, the Company&#8217;s articles of incorporation contain a provision to limit the personal liability of the directors of the Company for violations of their fiduciary duty. This provision eliminates each director&#8217;s personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director&#8217;s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and (ii) under Section 78.300 of the NRS, providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty including any such actions involving gross negligence.&#160;</font></div><div style="height:54pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="padding-right:-13.5pt"><font><br></font></div><div
