developing a project to explore for oil and gas in a designated area within
LaSalle County Texas ("Davidson Project"), as more fully detailed in the annexed
Exhibit 1 hereto; and
WHEREAS, TRI desires to obtain funding for Bellows Well #1 within the Davidson
Project, and Enficon is desirous of funding Bellows Well #1 and gaining an
economic interest in Bellows Well #1.
NOW, THEREFORE, TRI, TIC and Enficon agree as follows:
1. The Parties. TRI is the general partner of TexTerra Exploration
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TexTerra") formed by TRI to
work on the Davidson Project. Enficon will gain an economic interest within
TexTerra as a limited partner of TexTerra and will have the economic interest
limited to Bellows Well #1 within TexTerra as specified in Section 3 below. TRI
shall have the full authority of a general partner under the Delaware Limited
Partnership Act to make decisions and take actions on behalf of TexTerra.
2. Contributions of the Parties.
(a) The January 10, 2006 agreement ("Davidson Agreement") is
attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) TRI will provide operational and professional support to
TexTerra, and will cause TIC to perform the STeP(TM) process for certain mapping
and analysis of satellite and geological data in furtherance of the Davidson
Agreement for the Bellows Well #0 ("xxx "Xxxxxxx Xxxx #0") (as such term is
defined herein). Enficon will reimburse TRI for 80% (eighty percent) of the
budgeted costs for the Bellows Well #1, presently estimated as $1,133,720 for
the estimated amount of such 80% in the budget for Bellows Well #1 reflected in
the approval for expenditure ("AFE") (See Exhibit 2); and for the expenditures
for professional fees including TexTerra'a oil and gas consultant, legal costs,
title review fees, the costs of TIC's STeP (TM) studies, and additional cash
calls made by TRI as general partner to cover the direct costs from third
parties directly related to the Bellows Well #1 including, but not limited to,
those arising out of changes to the drilling plan and those to the AFE.
(c) TRI will, on behalf of TexTerra, monitor the performance of work
on, and, if successful, the operation of the Bellows Well #1 and shall utilize
such services of third party advisors, including engineering, accounting and
legal, as TRI deems reasonable and necessary. TRI will maintain updated
technical and financial analysis for the Bellows Well #1, negotiate with the
potential parties interested in farmin interest(s) as to Bellows Well #1,
negotiate, if appropriate in TRI's judgment, with third-party financing sources
and take such other actions as it deems advisable in protecting the interests of
TexTerra in Bellows Well #1.
(d) Enficon shall, on or before February 3, 2006, deposit $1,133,720
("Davidson Escrow Amount") into the escrow account of the Law Offices of Xxx
Xxxxxxx, as required pursuant to the Davidson Agreement ("Davidson Escrow
Agreement") to fund the initial estimated costs of the Bellows Well #1 described
in section 2 (b) above, and in accordance with the Davidson Agreement and the
related
"AFE," as such term is defined in the Davidson Agreement. To the extent that TRI
or a related party has already funded a portion of the Davidson Escrow Amount,
Enficon shall at the written direction of TRI (accompanied by a notarized letter
from the escrow agent acknowledging the receipt of an amount equal to such
portion of the Davidson Escrow Amount from TIC, TRI or other related party), pay
such portion of the Davidson Escrow Amount to TIC, provided that $283,430 is
deposited by TIC into the HSBC account established for TexTerra for TRI's 20%
portion of TexTerra'a payment of the initial estimated Bellows Well #1 budget of
$1,417,150. Enficon, or a designee thereof, shall be a required signator on such
TexTerra account holding the remaining portion of the Davidson Escrow Amount.
(e) If, for any reason, additional funding is required for the
Bellows Well #1 beyond the initial $1,417,150 estimated budget for the Bellows
Well #1 or costs provided for herein, TRI and Enficon shall be responsible for
such additional costs in the ratio of 20% to 80%, respectively. Enficon shall
not have responsibility for, nor any interest in, any other well or other asset
or revenue in TexTerra, other than the Bellows Well #1.
(f) If Enficon fails to timely pay the amount set forth in Section 3
(d) when due, TIC and its affiliates shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to deem the convertible debentures of CompuPrint ("CPPT") issued to
Enficon reduced by the unpaid amount of the Section 2(d) amount, plus interest
and costs, and to deem the remaining Enficon convertible debentures converted
into CPPT stock at the greater of $1 per share or the average closing asked
price for CPPT stock in the OTC Bulletin Board market for the day preceding the
default, the day of the default and the day following the default by Enficon.

Re: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx et al. Leases, La Salle County, Texas
Gentlemen:
This letter agreement ("Farmout Agreement"), when signed by you in the
space provided below, will constitute an agreement between Davidson Energy,
L.L.C. ("Davidson"), Xxxxxxx Children's Trust No. 1 ("Trust") and TexTerra
Exploration Partners LP ("TTEP") regarding the development of the Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx et ux. 1280-acre oil and gas lease dated April 27, 2005, recorded at
Volume 451, Page 422, Official Public Records, La Salle County, Texas, covering
two 640 acre tracts in Xxxxxx 000, X. & G.N.R.R. Co., A-1076, Patent Xx. 000,
Xxx. 00, xxx xx Xxxxxx 000, X. & G.N.R.R. Co., A-276, La Salle County, Texas
(the "Bellows Lease"). The Bellows Lease was assigned by the original lessees,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, to Xxxxxxxx and Trust subject to a reserved
overriding royalty interest equal to the difference between 25% net revenue
interest and existing landowner royalties.
The Bellows Lease does not cover 100% of the mineral fee estate and three
(3) additional leases have been negotiated with the remaining mineral fee
owners, being Main Plaza Corporation, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx.
(collectively, the "Mineral Owner Leases"). The Bellows Lease and the Mineral
Owner Leases are collectively referred to as the "Leases". Davidson shall bear
the initial acquisition costs of the Mineral Owner Leases at its sole expense,
not subject to reimbursement.
1. Interests to be Purchased/Purchase Price. Subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Davidson and Trust shall assign to TTEP a 70% (Seventy Percent)
working interest (the "TTEP Initial Well Interest") in and to the Railroad
Commission spacing unit ("Spacing Unit") surrounding the initial well (the
"Initial Well") to be drilled on the Leases. The Initial Well is to be drilled
to an approximate depth of 7,500 feet subsurface pursuant to the AFE (as defined
below) and the JOA (as defined below). The purchase price for the TTEP Initial
Well Interest shall be (i) TTEP's agreement to pay 100% (One Hundred Percent) of
the actual costs up to the dollar limit ("Dollar Limit") stated in the Approval
for Expenditure ("AFE") for drilling, testing, stimulating, completing and
equipping (including tie in to sales lines) the Initial Well as a producing well
through the tanks (if an oil well) or through the pipeline connection (if a gas
well), as specified in the AFE, unless the election is made to plug and abandon
the Initial Well, in which case the purchase price for the TTEP Initial Well
Interest shall be the actual costs of drilling, testing, and plugging the
Initial Well, plus any costs related to surface restoration surrounding the
Initial Well which is required by the Bellows Lease. Any additional costs over
the Dollar Limit shall be paid 70% (Seventy Percent) by TTEP and 30% (Thirty
Percent) by Davidson. The remaining 30% (Thirty Percent) working interest in the
Spacing Unit shall be retained by Davidson and Trust. The net revenue interest
("NRI") which shall be attributable to holders of all of the working interest
shall be not less than 75% (Seventy Five Percent). All reasonable efforts will
be made to spud the Initial Well by January 31, 2006, subject to drilling rig
and other long lead time items' availability. The parties agree that the
drilling operations shall be conducted on the Initial Well by Alamo Operating
Company, L.C. ("Alamo Operating") subject to the terms of a separate agreement
with Alamo Operating for such services.
2. Escrow; Use of Funds.
(a) Within one (1) business day after the satisfaction of the conditions
stated in paragraph 7 below, TTEP shall deposit in cash by wire transfer to Xxx
Xxxxxxx, Attorney at Law ("TTEP's Agent") a sum equal to the costs of drilling
to completion the Initial Well, as reflected by the AFE approved by the parties:

Citibank, 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx XX 00000
Account number 00000000
ABA No.: 000000000
TTEP's Agent (as instructed by TTEP) shall immediately thereupon distribute the
funds necessary to satisfy Alamo Operating's funding requirements for drilling
the Initial Well, including immediate deposit with Alamo Operating of all dry
hole costs required by Alamo Operating and any other advance deposits required
by Alamo Operating under the terms of its operating contract.
(b) Additional funds may be cash called as necessary, subject to the
agreements between the parties, including the separate agreement with Alamo
Operating.
(c) In the event that the Initial Well is plugged and abandoned as a dry
hole prior to a completion attempt, then TTEP's Agent and, if applicable, Alamo
Operating shall refund to TTEP, 100% (One Hundred Percent) of all cash remaining
after payment of the approved costs of drilling, plugging and abandoning the
well bore and restoring the surface of the Initial Well Spacing Unit.
(d) The funds deposited by TTEP shall be used solely for the purposes set
forth in the AFE agreed by the parties, which shall include road work, site
preparation, drilling of a water well and drilling, completing and equipping (or
plugging and surface restoration, if applicable) on the Leases. Davidson and
Trust may suggest the use of their affiliates to perform needed services at
competitive rates, but neither party shall be bound to utilize such services of
the affiliates.
3. Operations, Selection of Drillsite and Drilling Specifications.
(a) Alamo Operating shall be the operator of record. Should Alamo
Operating fail or refuse to serve as operator, Davidson, Trust and TTEP shall
mutually agree upon an operator of record. All operations, including the Initial
Well and future xxxxx, will be subject to a Model Form Operating Agreement to be
executed by the parties with appropriate XXXXX exhibit and other exhibits naming
Alamo Consulting as operator (the "JOA").
(b) TTEP, through its affiliate, Terra insight Corporation, shall select
the location for the Initial Well and every subsequent well within the subject
lease provided on average 3 out of 5 drilled oil or gas xxxxx are productive.
Alamo Operating shall communicate its proposed drilling procedures and
techniques for the Initial Well to TTEP in advance and TTEP shall have the right
to alter such procedures and techniques as it deems necessary to maximize the
likelihood of drilling success. TTEP may, at its election and at its sole risk,
maintain a drilling representative on the xxxxxxx floor or the Lease to monitor
operations and to make elections, as appropriate. The parties agree that Alamo
Operating or any successor operator shall be required to provide daily reports
while undertaking well drilling, completion, or workover operations and weekly
reports to the working interest holders regarding all other operations.
4. Assignment of the TTEP Lease Interest. The TTEP Initial Well Interest
and the TTEP interest in the remaining acreage under the Leases shall, subject
to the Leases, be considered to be earned at the later to occur of (a) deposit
by TTEP with TTEP's Agent of the costs of drilling the Initial Well to (dry hole
+ contingency) completion as reflected in the approved AFE, or (b) the deposit
by TTEP's Agent from the Escrow the Initial Well dry hole costs with Alamo
Operating per Alamo Operating's requirements, at which time Davidson/Trust shall
deliver a fully executed and recordable assignment covering the Leases which
conveys to TTEP a Seventy Percent (70%) working interest in the Initial Well
Spacing Unit and a Fifty Percent (50%) working interest in all other acreage
covered by the Leases, subject to the adjustment of working interest between the
parties described in paragraph 5 below should Davidson/Trust elect not to
participate in a future well and to instead elect to be carried, as therein
described. TTEP agrees that it will timely provide Davidson with sufficient
Initial Well drillsite information in advance of this assignment obligation that
will permit Davidson to survey the Initial Well Spacing Unit perimeter and to
generate metes and bounds field notes for such Initial Well spacing unit which
are to be attached to the assignment as a part of the legal description of the
Leases. After the Initial Well is drilled and then either plugged and abandoned
or completed as a producer, TTEP will have completed all earning obligations on
the Lease. Each working interest owner shall have the right to separately market
its proportionate share of production from the Initial Well.
5. Participation in Future Xxxxx.
(a) Davidson and Trust agree, that after the Initial Well, each party has
the right but not the obligation to participate in future xxxxx on the Lease,
subject to the JOA, The extent of the participation by the participating party
shall be 50% (Fifty Percent) working interest (unless Davidson/Trust elects to
be carried as described in subparagraph 5(b) below). The contributing
participation cost of each party shall be governed by the JOA.
(b) In the event Davidson and the Trust together decide not to participate
in a future well or xxxxx on the Lease, Davidson/Trust shall promptly deliver a
recordable assignment of their working interest in and to the Leases as to the
spacing unit assigned to the proposed well, reserving therefrom only a back-in
10% (Ten Percent) working interest ("Backin Interest") which shall become
effective if and when TTEP reaches cumulative payout on the Lease, according to
the formula below. TTEP may assign its 100% (One Hundred Percent) working
interest in the particular spacing unit at any time, subject to protection of
the Backin Interest, and subject to the limitations upon assignment set forth in
the particular Leases.
(c) Payout shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day of the
month following the month in which the result of the following formula is equal
to or greater than one:
TTEP cumulative net production revenue (from Initial Well plus xxxxx
subject to Backin Interest)
divided by
TTEP cumulative cost (from Initial Well plus xxxxx subject to Backin
Interest)
6. Representations and Covenants by Davidson.
(a) Davidson represents that neither it or its employees, executives or
other affiliates hold any beneficial interest in the Leases except as specified
herein.
(b) In the event that the rig is not available to be delivered to the
Initial Well site within existing terms of the Leases, Davidson covenants to
obtain a written extension to the term of any Lease prior to its scheduled
expiration. Such extension shall be obtained at no additional cost to TTEP.
