engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be 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 upward or downward revisions
of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development
drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately
recovered.</FONT></P>

engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be 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 upward or downward revisions
of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development
drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately
recovered.</FONT></P>

do not expect to pay any distributions on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, in the event we do make distributions
of cash or other property on our Common Stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the
extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent
those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated first as a non-taxable
return of capital to the extent of a non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in our Common Stock and thereafter as capital gain from the sale

to the withholding requirements under FATCA (as defined below) and dividends that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business,
each of which is discussed below, any distribution made to a non-U.S. holder on our Common Stock generally will be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower
rate. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must generally provide the applicable withholding agent with
an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or other applicable or successor form) certifying qualification for the reduced
rate. A non-U.S. holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain
a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.</FONT></P>

federal withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification requirements by providing the applicable withholding agent
with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable or successor form) certifying eligibility for exemption. If the non-U.S.

respect to the third bullet point above, a corporation generally is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property

U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, as long as our Common Stock is and continues to be &ldquo;regularly traded on an established
securities market&rdquo; (within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations), only a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively
owns, or owned at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s
holding period for the Common Stock, more than 5% of our Common Stock will be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest
and will be taxable on gain realized on the disposition of our Common Stock as a result of our status as a USRPHC. If our Common Stock
were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, each non-U.S. holder (regardless of the percentage of
stock owned) would be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest and would generally be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on a disposition of our Common Stock (as described in the preceding paragraph), and a 15% withholding tax would generally apply to
the gross proceeds from such disposition.</FONT></P>

1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (commonly known as &ldquo;FATCA&rdquo;),
impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends on our Common Stock and, subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations discussed below,
on proceeds from sales or other dispositions of shares of our Common Stock, if paid to a &ldquo;foreign financial institution&rdquo;
or a &ldquo;non-financial foreign entity&rdquo; (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial
institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution,
such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the
U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt
holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial
foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any &ldquo;substantial United States owners&rdquo; (as defined in the Code)
or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners
of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E), or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign
entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign
financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing these rules may be subject
to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. While gross proceeds
from a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock paid after January 1, 2019, would have originally been subject to withholding under
FATCA, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations have been issued, which provide that such payments of gross proceeds do not constitute withholdable
payments. Taxpayers may generally rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury regulations until they are revoked or final U.S. Treasury regulations
are issued. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on an investment in
our Common Stock in light of their own circumstances.</FONT></P>

Charter and Bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our
Charter and Bylaws also permit us to purchase insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee, or other agent for any liability
arising out of that person&rsquo;s actions as our officer, director, employee, or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit
indemnification. We have obtained directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; insurance to cover our directors, officers, and some of our employees
for certain liabilities. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and officers and intend to
enter into indemnification agreements with each of our future directors and officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these
individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and
to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation
of liability provision in our Charter and the indemnification agreements facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified
individuals to serve as directors and officers.</FONT></P>

the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In
connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short
sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders
may also sell shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions 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 may also pledge
shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may
effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).</FONT></P>

Selling Stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third
parties in privately negotiated transactions. If an applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives,
the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.
If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Stockholder or borrowed from any Selling Stockholder or others to settle
those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Stockholder in settlement
of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. If applicable through securities laws, the third party in such
sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).
In addition, any Selling Stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in
turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short
position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.</FONT></P>
