The date on which Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall take place in the offices of ROI in Red Lodge, Montana at a time mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

All representations and warranties of GMXR contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, and GMXR shall have complied in all material respects with all covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by GMXR on or prior to the Closing; and

No suit, action or other proceedings shall be pending before any court or governmental entity in which it is sought by a person or entity other than the Parties hereto or any of their affiliates, officers, directors, or employees to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or to obtain damages in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

6.	Conditions Precedent to GMXR’s Obligation to Close. GMXR shall be obligated to consummate the purchase of the Subject Interest as contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date, provided the following conditions precedent have been satisfied or have been waived in writing by GMXR:

All representations and warranties of ROI contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects, and ROI shall have complied in all material respects with all covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by ROI on or prior to the Closing;

The aggregate sum of downward adjustments to the Purchase Price for Title Defects (including adjustments arising from the failure to obtain required consents) shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price.

7.	Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated in the following instances:

By ROI if any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.a are not satisfied in all material respects or waived as of the Closing Date; provided that ROI is not in material breach of this Agreement;

ii.

By GMXR if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.a are not satisfied in all material respects or waived as of the Closing Date; provided that GMXR is not in material breach of this Agreement; or

iii.

At any time by the mutual written agreement of GMXR and ROI.

If ROI terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7a.i due to GMXR’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants herein, ROI shall receive the Cash Deposit, together with all earnings thereon, as liquidated damages, not as penalty, as its sole and exclusive remedy. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, then the Cash Deposit, together with earnings thereon, shall be returned to GMXR. If GMXR terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7a.ii due to ROI’s breach of this Agreement, then, in addition to the return of the Cash Deposit, GMXR may seek damages, but not injunction, specific performance or any remedy impairing ROI’s right or ability to transfer or assign the Subject Interest.

Files and Records; Diligence. After the execution of this Agreement and prior to Closing, ROI shall allow GMXR and its attorneys, employees and consultants to examine, at ROI’s offices, all of ROI’s land, contract, and other files and records which relate to the Subject Interest. In this connection, ROI shall make available to GMXR for examination such title information with respect to the Subject Interest which is in ROI’s files or to which ROI has access. However, ROI shall have no obligations to update any title information currently in ROI’s files. In addition, ROI shall make available to GMXR and its attorneys, employees and consultants, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, such officers and employees of ROI who are knowledgeable with respect to the Subject Interests in order that GMXR may make, at GMXR’s sole cost and expense, such due diligence investigation as to title and environmental matters as GMXR considers necessary or appropriate. Further, ROI shall grant to GMXR and its attorneys, employees and consultants access to the Subject Leases and other Subject Interests in order for GMXR to conduct, at GMXR’s sole cost and expense, a physical inspection of the Subject Interest. GMXR shall release, indemnify, and defend and hold harmless ROI

from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities, payments, charges, costs and expenses of any kind or character arising from GMXR’s inspection of the Subject Interest, including, without limitation, claims for personal injuries to or death of any person or damage to the Subject Interest or the property of any person arising from such inspection.

9.	Title Defects.

GMXR shall, at its sole expense, conduct such examinations of title and data as it sees fit and shall notify ROI, in writing, on or before February 28, 2011 (the “Defect Notice Deadline”) of any Title Defects, as defined below, with respect to the Subject Interest. Without waiving any of its rights under Section 10 herein or under the special warranty of title in the Assignment and Xxxx of Sale delivered at Closing, GMXR will be deemed to have waived any Title Defects as to which GMXR has not given ROI written notice on or before the Defect Notice Deadline. “Title Defect” means a defect in or failure of ROI’s ownership of any of the Subject Interests that causes ROI to not have Marketable Title to such Subject Interest. “Marketable Title” means a title that can be deduced from the applicable county, state and federal records and is such that: (a) a reasonable and prudent person engaged in the business of the ownership, development and operation of oil and gas properties with the knowledge of all the facts and their legal bearing would be willing to accept title to the property; (b) such title will entitle GMXR to receive a net revenue interest in the Subject Leases entitling it to not less than 80% of 8/8ths of all hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from the Subject Leases; (c) the net mineral acres covered by each of the Subject Leases are not less than that set forth in Exhibit A with respect to each such lease; and (d) such title is free and clear from all liens and encumbrances, other than such liens and encumbrances that (i) are of the nature customarily accepted by prudent purchasers of oil and gas properties; (ii) do not materially affect the value of any property encumbered thereby or materially impair the ability to use any such property in oil and gas operations; and (iii) do not operate to reduce the net revenue interest to be delivered to GMXR below 80% of 8/8ths.

In the event GMXR notifies ROI of such Title Defects, ROI may, at its option, attempt to cure any and all such Title Defects. Prior to the Closing Date, ROI shall notify GMXR of whether it has cured, or expects to cure, any Title Defects identified by GMXR. In the event of a Title Defect which renders title to all or a portion of the Subject Interest to not be Marketable Title and ROI does not cure the same, the Parties shall adjust the Purchase Price by deducting $2,450.00 per net mineral acre affected by the Title Defect.

Consents. Except with respect to governmental consents customarily obtained post-Closing, as soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement, ROI shall send requests to the holders of required consents to assignment for their consent to assignment of the affected Subject Interest to GMXR. The form and content of all solicitations for such consents shall be agreed upon by GMXR and ROI. In the event a required consent is not obtained prior to Closing, then, unless the failure

to obtain such consent is waived by GMXR, the affected property will be excluded from the Subject Interests delivered at Closing, and the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by an amount equal to $2,450.00 per net mineral acre, multiplied by the number of net mineral acres attributable to the affected property.

10.

Warranty. ROI shall convey to GMXR at Closing title to the Subject Interest free and clear of all liens and encumbrances created by, through or under ROI. In addition, GMXR shall have full rights of substitution and subrogation to all warranties and covenants heretofore given by others with respect to the Subject Leases or any part thereof.

11.	Indemnification.

GMXR shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold ROI harmless from all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, taxes, penalties, fines, judgments, costs, expenses and liabilities, direct, contingent or otherwise (“Claims”), arising from or relating to the ownership of the Subject Interest during the period of time from and after the Effective Date.

ROI shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold GMXR harmless from all Claims arising from or relating to the ownership of the Subject Interest during the period of time prior to the Effective Date.

Neither Party may make press releases or other public announcements concerning this transaction without the other’s prior written approval, except as may be required by applicable laws or rules and regulation of any governmental agency or stock exchange.

17.	Purchase Option.

Non-Competition. To the extent permitted by applicable law, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, ROI shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire (and shall ensure that, except as set forth herein, its affiliates do not acquire, directly or indirectly) any interest in any oil and gas lease, mineral interest, or other oil and gas interest covering any lands located in the following townships in Goshen or Platte Counties: Township 23 North, Range 64 West; Township 24 North, Range 64 West; Xxxx 0/0 Xxxxxxxx 00 Xxxxx, Xxxxx 00 Xxxx; and West 1/2 Township 24 North, 65 West (the “AMI”).

Acquired Interests. If during the period between the date of this Agreement and the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “AMI Term”) ROI or its affiliates, either solely or jointly with any other person or entity, should acquire or be granted an oil and gas lease, mineral interest, or other oil and gas interest covering any properties located in AMI (an “Acquired Interest”), then ROI shall (or shall cause its affiliates to) notify GMXR of the acquisition (such notice to GMXR being referred to herein as the “Acquisition Notice”), such Acquisition Notice to be given within thirty (30) days after the acquisition by ROI or its affiliate; provided, however, that with respect to acquisitions of Acquired Interests prior to Closing (“Pre-Closing Acquired Interests”), the Acquisition Notice shall be provided as soon as possible after the consummation of the acquisition, but in any event not later than the Closing Date. GMXR shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire all of the Acquired Interest for a purchase price equal to the lease bonus paid or purchase price paid by ROI or its affiliate (the “Acquisition Cost”) to acquire the Acquired Interests; provided, however that the purchase

price for any Pre-Closing Acquired Interests shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,250 per net acre of the Acquired Interest or (ii) 120% of the Acquisition Cost for such Pre-Closing Acquired Interest. The Acquisition Notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Acquired Interest, the lands and depths covered thereby, and the consideration paid therefor, and shall also include true, correct and complete copies of any farmout agreement, purchase agreement, lease, option, assignment, or other instruments or agreements pursuant to which the interest was acquired or to which it is subject. At GMXR’s request, ROI shall meet with GMXR to discuss and share any data that ROI used to support the purchase of the Acquired Interests. GMXR shall, within forty-five (45) days following the later of the Closing Date or GMXR’s receipt of the Acquisition Notice, notify ROI in writing whether or not GMXR elects to purchase any Acquired Interest. A failure to timely respond to the Acquisition Notice shall be deemed an election not to purchase the Acquired Interest. If ROI or any of its affiliates acquires more than one Acquired Interest, GMXR may make separate elections as to each Acquired Interest. If GMXR elects to purchase any Acquired Interests, then GMXR shall on the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) a date within forty-five (45) days following the Acquisition Notice, pay by wire transfer the Acquisition Proceeds, and ROI shall deliver to GMXR an executed and acknowledged assignment thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, in sufficient counterparts to facilitate recording, together with executed state or federal assignment forms, as applicable. The Acquired Interest shall be delivered to GMXR free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances arising by, through or under ROI or its affiliates, other than burdens reserved or retained by ROI’s lessors, grantors, or assignors, as the case may be. As used herein, “affiliate,” means, when used with respect to any Person (as hereinafter defined), any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, limited liability limited partnership, unincorporated organization or other entity (each, a “Person”) which is directly or indirectly controlled by, controlling or under common control with such Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” means, when used with respect to any Person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management of such Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.
