(ii) Upon any sale by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of any Petroleum Property including but not limited to a sale of a lesser interest such as a royalty or a net profit interest to the extent the sale of such lesser interest is not considered to create a Lien (other than the sale of hydrocarbons after severance occurring in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business), the calculation of Present Value of Proved Reserves shall be reduced, effective on the date of consummation of such sale, by an amount equal to the Present Value of Proved Reserves attributable to Proved Reserves included in such sale.
(iii) Immediately upon acquisition or development by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of any Petroleum Property owned directly by the Issuer or any Subsidiary and not reflected in the most recent Reserve Report, the calculation of Present Value of Proved Reserves shall be increased in an amount equal to the Present Value of Proved Reserves attributable to such Petroleum Property.”
