ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


     Article Tenth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
the Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers and
directors to the maximum extent allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL"). Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, the Registrant generally has the
power to indemnify its present and former directors and officers against
expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with any suit to which
they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in
those positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action, so long as they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by
or in the right of the Registrant, however, indemnification is generally limited
to attorneys' fees and other expenses and is not available if the person is
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless the court determines that
indemnification is appropriate. The statute expressly provides that the power to
indemnify authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The Registrant also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its
directors and officers. Additionally, Article Tenth of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that, in the event that an officer or
director files suit against the Registrant seeking indemnification of
liabilities or expenses incurred, the burden will be on the Registrant to prove
that the indemnification would not be permitted under the DGCL.

     As permitted under the DGCL, the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation also eliminates the liability of the Registrant's
directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors.
This provision, however, does not eliminate a director's liability (a) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders,
(b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) in respect of certain unlawful
dividend payments or unlawful stock redemptions or repurchases, or (d) for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

     The preceding discussion of the Registrant's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Section 145 of the DGCL is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Section 145 of the DGCL.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of
its directors and officers. Pursuant to such agreements, the Registrant will, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify such persons against all
expenses, judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with the defense
or settlement of any actions brought against them by reason of the fact that
they were directors or officers of

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   4

the Registrant or assumed certain responsibilities at the direction of the
Registrant. The Registrant carries directors' and officers' liability insurance
to insure its directors and officers against liability for certain errors and
omissions and to defray costs of a suit or proceeding against an officer or
director.

     The Underwriting Agreement that the Registrant will enter into with respect
to the offer and sale of the common stock covered by this Registration Statement
will contain certain provisions for the indemnification of the Registrant's
directors and officers and the underwriters, as applicable, against civil
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     The following information is furnished as to securities of the Registrant
sold within the past three years which were not registered under the Securities
Act. Each of the issuances and sales described below was effected and relies
upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for
transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, or other exemptions
as set forth below. Grants of options are included only to the extent that such
grants are considered to be sales. No underwriting discounts or commissions were
paid in connection with such sales. All references in this Item 15 to the number
of shares of common stock and to common stock per share data have been restated
to reflect a one-for-seven reverse stock split effected on February 8, 2000.

     1. On May 21, 1998, Vista Resources Partners, L.P. formed the Registrant as
a wholly-owned subsidiary and was issued 142 shares of common stock of the
Registrant for total cash consideration of $10.00.

     2. On October 28, 1998, pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement
dated June 15, 1998, the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding limited
partner interests of Vista Resources Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") and all
of the outstanding shares of common stock of the general partner of the
Partnership in exchange for 1,700,500 shares of common stock of the Registrant
and 8,563,028 warrants of the Registrant representing the right to buy 1,223,290
shares of common stock of the Registrant, at an exercise price of $28.00 per
share. These shares and warrants were issued to the 24 holders of the limited
partner interests of the Partnership and the four stockholders (each of whom was
also a limited partner of the Partnership) of the corporate general partner of
the Partnership. Each former partner of the Partnership was an "accredited
investor," and the exchange was effected under Rule 506 under Regulation D under
the Securities Act.

     3. On October 28, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the Midland Exchange
Agreement dated May 22, 1998, options to purchase 1,372,931 shares of common
stock of Midland Resources, Inc. were exchanged for 995,375 warrants of the
Registrant representing the right to buy 142,196 shares of common stock of the
Registrant, at an exercise price of $28.00 per share. These warrants were issued
to six individuals, each of whom was an "accredited investor." The exchange was
effected under Rule 506 under Regulation D under the Securities Act.

     4. In October 1999, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated September 29, 1999, the Registrant acquired certain producing oil and gas
properties from an individual by issuing to such individual 857 shares of common
stock of the Registrant.

     5. On February 9, 2000, the Registrant granted options under the
Registrant's 1998 Key Employee Stock Option Plan to key employees of the
Registrant to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of common stock of the
Registrant at an exercise price of $12.375 per share.

     6. On March 31, 2000, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. converted all of
the 3,984,197 shares of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Registrant owned by it into 3,984,197 shares of common stock of the Registrant.
Such shares of common stock were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as a part of
     this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
