outbreak of the novel form of coronavirus known as COVID-19 and its development into a global pandemic has had, and

continues to have, a negative impact on worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets, as well as global

demand for crude oil and natural gas.

The West Texas Intermediate spot price of crude oil has declined since the

beginning of 2020, from $63.27 per barrel on January 6, 2020 to $38.79 on November 5, 2020.

The decline in oil prices is primarily attributable to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the

dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries

the responses by federal, state and local governmental authorities to the pandemic have also resulted in significant business and

on the severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the actions undertaken by federal, state

and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic

conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume.

A prolonged period of low crude oil prices will adversely

affect the operators of the underlying properties.

If commodity prices for crude oil remain at reduced levels, quarterly cash

distributions to unitholders will be substantially lower than historical distributions, and in certain periods there may be no

distribution to unitholders.

As a result of the decreased price of crude oil during the second quarter of 2020, there was no distribution

made to unitholders in the third quarter of 2020.

Continued low prices of oil may ultimately

reduce the amount of oil that is economic to produce from the underlying properties.

As a result, the operator of the underlying

properties could determine, during periods of low commodity prices, to shut in or curtail production on the underlying properties.

In addition, the operator of the underlying properties could determine, during periods of low commodity prices, to plug and abandon

marginal wells that otherwise may have been allowed to continue to produce for a longer period under conditions of higher prices.

in the price of oil, which could adversely affect the financial condition and economic performance of the operators of the underlying

the amount of cash available for distribution to Trust unitholders.
