POST-CLOSING MATTERS
1.1 Post-Closing Matters
(a)Following Closing, if and to the extent that Purchaser must be novated into, recognized as a party to, or otherwise accepted as assignee or transferee of Vendor's interest in the Assets or certain of them, including any Title and Operating Documents or other agreements governing or otherwise pertaining to any Assets or the operation thereof, the following provisions shall apply with respect to the applicable Assets until such novation, recognition or acceptance has occurred:
(i)at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, Vendor shall operate and maintain the applicable Assets on behalf of Purchaser as its agent;
(ii)Vendor shall not initiate or authorize any operations with respect to the applicable Assets, except upon the written direction of Purchaser or if Vendor reasonably determines that such operations are required for the protection of life or property, in which case Vendor may take any actions that it reasonably determines are required in the circumstances, provided that, in such latter case Vendor shall promptly notify Purchaser of such actions and Vendor's estimate of the costs and expenses associated therewith;

(iii)Vendor shall promptly provide to Purchaser all AFEs, notices and other information, documents and correspondence relating to the applicable Assets that it receives and shall respond promptly to such AFEs, notices and other information and documents pursuant to the written instructions of Purchaser, but only if such instructions are received on a timely basis, provided that Vendor may, but shall not be obliged to, refuse to follow any such instructions that it reasonably believes to be contrary to Applicable Law or in conflict with any applicable Title and Operating Document or other agreement; and
(iv)as soon as is reasonably practicable following Vendor's receipt thereof, Vendor shall deliver to Purchaser all revenues, proceeds and other benefits received by Vendor and derived from the Assets (excluding any such revenues, proceeds or benefits that relate to matters arising prior to the Effective Time), less the share of the applicable Crown or lessor royalties, operating costs, treating, processing and transportation expenses and any other costs and expenses directly associated with the Assets and the Petroleum Substances produced therefrom or allocated thereto that have been paid or are payable by Vendor, and less any out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred by Vendor in the discharge of its duties and obligations pursuant to this Clause 8.1.
(b)If and to the extent that Vendor holds or maintains any Assets and takes actions with respect to any Assets on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Clause 8.1, then Vendor shall hold the same as bare trustee and be deemed to be the agent of Purchaser in such regard. Purchaser does hereby and shall ratify all actions taken by Vendor or refrained to be taken by Vendor pursuant to the terms of this Clause 8.1 in such capacity, with the intention that all such actions shall be for all purposes deemed to be those of Purchaser.
(c)If Vendor participates in any operations or exercises rights or options in respect to any Assets as the agent of Purchaser pursuant to this Clause 8.1, then Vendor may require Purchaser to secure the costs to be incurred by Vendor on behalf of Purchaser in respect to such operations or pursuant to such election in such manner as may be reasonably appropriate in the circumstances.
1.2 Delivery of Title and Operating Documents and Miscellaneous Interests
Within 10 Business Days after Closing or any other day as Vendor and Purchaser may agree, Vendor shall deliver to Purchaser the Title and Operating Documents, and such other agreements and documents to which the Assets are subject, and the original copies of those records, files, reports, data and documents comprising Miscellaneous Interests, which are in the possession and control of Vendor, to the extent they are in physical form. In the case of Vendor's electronic well files, Vendor shall make a digital version of such files available to Purchaser within such time period. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Clause 8.2: (i) Vendor may make or retain a photocopy, at its own cost, of any original materials delivered to Purchaser under this Clause 8.2; and (ii) if and to the extent any such materials also pertain to assets or interests other than the Assets, photocopies or other copies of such materials may be provided to Purchaser in lieu of original copies.
1.3 Removal of Signs
Within 60 days after Closing, Purchaser shall remove Vendor's name from all signs and remove any other items indicating ownership by Vendor located on, at or near any Wells or Tangibles. If Purchaser fails to remove Vendor's name from such signs or to remove such other items in respect to any such Wells or Tangibles within such period, then Vendor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove same and Purchaser shall reimburse Vendor for all reasonable costs incurred by Vendor in doing so.
1.4 Limitation of Liability for Post-Closing Operations
(a)Vendor and the Vendor's Related Persons shall have no liability for any Losses and Liabilities paid, incurred or suffered by Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's Related Persons or any Claims made against any of them relating to any operation or maintenance of the Assets after Closing or the discharge by Vendor of its obligations pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 8,

except to the extent that any such Losses and Liabilities or any such Claims arise as a direct consequence of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Vendor or any of the Vendor's Related Persons, provided that in no event shall Vendor be liable to Purchaser or Purchaser's Related Persons for any Consequential Losses relating to such operation or maintenance of the Assets.
(b)Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses and Liabilities suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by Vendor or any of the Vendor's Related Persons, and, in addition and as an independent covenant, shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Vendor and each of the Vendor's Related Persons from and against all Losses and Liabilities suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by it and all Claims made against it, in either case, as a result of any actions taken or operations conducted in accordance with the other provisions of this Article 8, except to the extent arising as a direct consequence of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Vendor or any of the Vendor's Related Persons.
1.5 Vendor deemed Purchaser’s Agent
(a)Insofar as Vendor maintains the Assets and takes actions thereto on Purchaser’s behalf pursuant to this Article 8.5, Vendor shall be deemed to have been Purchaser’s agent hereunder. Purchaser ratifies all actions taken by Vendor or refrained from being taken by Vendor pursuant to this Article 8.5 in such capacity during such period, with the intention that all such actions shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s.
(b)Insofar as Vendor participates in either operations or the exercise of rights or options as Purchaser’s agent pursuant to this Article 8.5, Vendor may require Purchaser to secure costs to be incurred by Vendor on Purchaser’s behalf pursuant to such election in such manner as may be reasonably appropriate in the circumstances.
(c)Purchaser shall indemnify Vendor and its representatives against all Losses and Liabilities which Vendor or its representatives may suffer or incur as a result of Vendor maintaining the Assets as Purchaser’s agent pursuant to this Article 8.5, insofar as such losses are not a direct result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Vendor or of its representatives. An action or omission of Vendor or of its representatives shall not be regarded as gross negligence or wilful misconduct to the extent to which it was done or omitted from being done in accordance with the Purchaser’s instructions or concurrence.
Article 9
DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW
1.1 Due Diligence
Purchaser acknowledges that it has, prior to the execution hereof, been given an opportunity to: (i) review Vendor's title to the Assets; and (ii) conduct an environmental review of the Assets; and that it has satisfied itself in regard to both Vendor's title to the Assets and all environmental matters relating to the Assets, including any past, present or future Environmental Liabilities. Purchaser expressly waives all defects relating either to Vendor's title to the Assets or to environmental matters relating to the Assets, whether disclosed by Purchaser's review or otherwise. However, nothing in this Clause shall be a waiver by Purchaser of any matters in respect of which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Clause 6.1.
