Section 1. Establishing an Area of Mutual Interest (AMI):
Cedar Strat and Fort Xxxxx will establish an Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) surrounding the Diamond Play, as detailed in Exhibit “A” hereof. The area within the “Blue” boundaries constitute the AMI. Areas within the “Red” portion of the AMI boundary are subject to the right of first refusal by the Major Independent which language is included in Exhibit “C”. The boundaries of this “Red” portion of the AMI and right of first refusal by the Major Independent Oil and Gas Company is more fully described in Exhibit “B”. Acquisition of acreage within the “Blue” area of the AMI are also to be governed by the rights previously granted the Major Independent Oil and Gas Company under the terms discussed in Exhibit “C”.
Section 2. Participant Acquisition of Land/Leases:
Cedar Strat will identify the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) leases critical to the project, make recommendations to Fort Xxxxx for additions or deletions thus maximizing the benefit of the acreage held, recognizing a need for protection acreage in addition to structure acreage (the “initial acreage”). The “initial acreage” is that acreage which has previously been nominated and passed through a BLM lease sale auction and is available at the BLM for lease. Cedar Stat will represent Fort Xxxxx at the BLM lease sales if desired.
Fort Xxxxx agrees to advance such monies as are required to acquire the “initial acreage”, as the case may be (the “initial payment”) and to further assume the obligation to pay the ongoing rentals on all such “initial acreage” (hereafter referred to as “subsequent payments”) for a period of two (2) additional years, excluding the “initial payment”. It is estimated that the “initial payment” will be in the order of $400,000 and that each additional annual “subsequent payment will be in the order of $400,000. The leases will be held in the name of Fort Xxxxx Energy Company or an entity designated by Fort Xxxxx.
Fort Xxxxx will also assume the obligation to advance such monies as may be required to fund the purchase of the “after acquired acreage” which, assuming requires payment of a $2.00 per acre bonus fee and a $1.50 per acre rental fee, is estimated to total $460,000 (hereinafter referred to as the “Initial subsequent acreage fee”. In addition, Fort Xxxxx will assume the obligation to pay the annual rental on such “after acquired acreage” for a period of two (2) additional years excluding the payment of the “initial subsequent acreage fee”.

It is recognized that the bonus bid to the BLM may exceed the $2.00 per acre level. Fort Xxxxx will bid as aggressively as they feel may be necessary to acquire the “after acquired acreage”. Should Cedar Strat be representing Fort Xxxxx at such BLM auction, the level of potential bid will be established prior to the date of the auction.
It is recognized that certain acreage may have been previously leased or owned by outside entities, for which negotiations to control under this agreement will be embarked upon. All acreage acquired within the AMI will be entered into under the same terms of this agreement. If acreage of third party control must be acquired under terms that infringe upon this agreement, both parties will work as reasonably possible to acquire and control this acreage for the group.
The “Red” area designated in Exhibit “A” will be the priority area for acquisition of the primary acreage. Fort Xxxxx will be under the same Right of First Refusal clause for this project as Cedar Strat is with the Major Independent Oil and Gas company. (see Exhibit “C”).

If Fort Xxxxx’x ability to assess the viability of the Play is delayed due to delays outside of its control, the election will be extended for such period of time as the parties may agree acting reasonably.
Section 6.1. Election by Participant to proceed with Development of the Diamond Play subsequent to the two year Exploration period:
a) In the case of a positive election for Fort Xxxxx to develop the area by drilling xxxxx, the election will, unless extended by the parties acting reasonably, be made in writing within two years from the date of this agreement.
b) Two xxxxx will be drilled, the first in the 12 months after the initial two year exploration phase of this agreement, unless extended by the parties acting reasonably, the next in the succeeding 12 months, to the shallower of the base of the sub-thrust Devonian Xxxxxxxx formation or a depth of 17,000 feet. Rental payments on the initial acreage and subsequently acquired acreage will be maintained by Fort Xxxxx during this two year development period.
C) Fort Xxxxx shall receive 82.5% Net Revenue Interest (NRI) in the identified prospects of the Diamond Play such that Cedar Strat retains a 5.0% ORRI and a 5% carried back in working interest.
d) If Fort Xxxxx makes the election set out in Section 6.1, the seed money (exploration) funds for their proportionate interest will be reimbursed 100% from production and the development (drilling to on-site tanks) expense will be reimbursed 100% before Cedar Strat’s back-in interest becomes effective.
Section 6.2. Election by Participant not to Participate in Development of the Diamond Play:
a) In the case of an election by Fort Xxxxx not to participate in the development of the Diamond Play, the election will be made in writing within two years from the date of this agreement unless extended by the parties acting reasonably.
b) If Fort Xxxxx does not elect to proceed with the development of the Diamond prospect, then Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat will use their collective reasonable best efforts to sell the Diamond Play as prospects for development, in whole or in part. Any and all “Prospect and other fees” to be paid by any third party for the right to participate or in the development of the diamond prospect or portion thereof hereunder, shall be paid firstly to Fort Xxxxx in an amount equal to 75% of all lease acquisition, lease rentals, lease maintenance, and seed (exploration) monies advanced on or in respect of that portion of the Diamond Prospect being sold, except as it relates to the payment of the delay rentals on the “initial acreage” or the “after acquired acreage” made after the expiry of the first two years of the initial agreement, and the “additional expenses”, all of which will be reimbursed at 100%. Thereafter, all such “prospect and other fees” to be paid by or in respect of the Diamond Prospect or portion thereof shall be split 50/50 as between Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat.
c) On any acreage sold to third party industry participants or farmed out, Fort Xxxxx will retain a 2.5% ORRI and Cedar Strat will retain a 5.0% ORRI.
d) Any prospect being sold or farmed out to third parties will include a 17,000 foot well commitment to be completed within two years from the date of sale and include the ORRI and back-in interest as described in this agreement. The third party industry participant will be liable for making the rental payments over the leases acquired for the period covering two years during which the test well must be drilled.
(f) If a prospect is thereafter marketed to third party industry participant by Cedar Strat, Cedar Strat shall at all times preserve a 12.5% back-in carried working interest for Fort Xxxxx. This back-in interest (BI) will be increased if any amount of back-in is retained over 17.5%. Amounts retained over 17.5% will be split 50/50 with Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat. If there is less than 17.5% back-in interest retained it will come first out of Cedar Strat’s interest and in no case will it be allowed to erode Fort Xxxxx’x 12.5% back-in interest. If Fort Xxxxx does 100% of the marketing, Cedar Strat will receive a minimum of 5% back-in carried interest.
Section 7. Notices.
Notices shall be given a) by personal delivery to the other Party, b) by facsimile, with a copy sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or c) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. All notices shall be effective and deemed delivered a) if by personal delivery, on the date of delivery if during business hours, otherwise the next business day, b) if by facsimile, on the date the facsimile is received if received during business hours, c) if solely by mail, upon receipt by the addressee.

Article 3
Major Independent (MI) Option to Acquire Oil & Gas Interests Acquired by Cedar Strat (CST); MI Right of First Offer and Right of First Refusal
3.1 MI Option.
(a) CST hereby grants to MI the option to acquire any Oil & Gas Interest which CST acquires, directly or indirectly through any CST Affiliate, or through any agent or representative in a contractual relationship with CST, within the Central Nevada Exploration Area (but not including any interest in any Existing CST Structural Plays) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.1.f. {For avoidance of doubt, CST shall not be obligated to offer MI any Oil & Gas Interest CST may acquire within an Existing CST Structural Play other than as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.3; provided however, MI shall be free to acquire Oil & Gas Interests within Existing CST Structural Plays, subject to its obligations under Section 2.1). If CST acquires any Oil & Gas Interest within the Central Nevada Exploration Area, but outside of an Existing CST Structural Play, prior to three (3) years after the date this Agreement is executed by the Parties, it shall, on or before 30 days after the acquisition, deliver written notice to MI with full particulars relative to such acquisition (i.e. net acres, net revenue interest, bonus, drilling obligations, back-in, price, etc., and a copy of the assignment and all other documents pursuant to which CST acquired such Oil & Gas Interest and supporting detail evidencing any cash payments made by CST). MI shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice within which to elect, by written notice delivered to CST, to acquire all of such Oil & Gas Interest for the price and on the other terms and conditions pursuant to which CST acquired such interest. Failure to deliver such written election within such 30 day period shall be deemed an election by MI not to acquire such Oil & Gas Interest. If an Oil & Gas Interest covers lands located within an Existing CST Structural Play and lands located outside an Existing CST Structural Play, or lands outside of the Central Nevada Exploration Area, only that portion of the Oil & Gas Interest outside of the Existing CST Structural Play but within the Central Nevada Exploration Area shall be subject to this Section 3.1.
(b) If MI elects to acquire an Oil & Gas Interest pursuant to Section 3.1, CST shall tender to MI an assignment of the Oil & Gas Interest, reserving and excepting the CST ORRI. in the form of Exhibit E hereto, together with an invoice for the costs therefore which invoice shall be paid within 30 days after receipt. Such assignment shall warrant that the assigned interests are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, burdens and defects in title arising by, through or under CST, but not otherwise) and shall not reserve or except any overriding royalty interest or any other burden in favor of CST, other than the applicable CST ORRI, and overriding royalty interests in favor of persons or entities other than CST or its Affiliates, that burden the Oil & Gas Interest as of the date of the acquisition by CST.
3.2 MI Right of First Offer Prior to CST's Solicitation of Offers for an Existing CST
Structural Play. Prior to soliciting any offer from any person or entity to purchase or participate in any Oil & Gas Interest in an Existing CST Structural Play, CST shall notify MI that it desires to solicit such offers and such notice shall specify the terms and conditions on which CST is willing to sell, or offer participation in, such Oil & Gas Interest (including the net acres, net revenue interest, bonus, drilling obligations, back-in, price, etc.) MI shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to notify CST that it elects to purchase or participate in, as applicable, the offered Oil & Gas Interest on the terms and conditions set forth in the notice from CST. If MI does not so notify CST within such 30 day period, MI shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase or participate in such Oil & Gas Interest and CST shall be free, to sell or agree to a participation in the offered Oil & Gas Interest by a third party which is not an Affiliate of CST on terms no less favorable to CST than the terms and conditions set forth in CST’s notice to MI.

- Geology mapping and assessment, $500,000 expended over 2 years
Biostratigraphic sampling with analysis by a
Paleontologist, Well Studies, and structural
modeling,
- Aeromagnetic and Gravity Surveys, gravity
modeling, integrated with structural modeling,
contracting specialists as needed,
$200,000 expended over 2 years
- Management of Prospect Development by Cedar
Strat including development of structural model
and cross sections, map production, equipment
maintenance, equipment acquisition, hardware and
software acquisition, office staffing, rents,
accounting,
$300,000 expended over 2 years
Subtotal Primary Exploration $1,000,000
- Acquisition and processing of Exxon Seismic
Data, modeling the data, structural modeling and
cross section tie in, Equipment, Hardware and
Software acquisition
$500,000
Total: $1,500,000
The funding for the Primary Exploration items listed will be paid to Cedar Strat at a rate of $50,000 per month for I 0 months in the first year and $50,000 per month for IO months during the second year. The acquisition of the Exxon Seismic data and the processing thereof will be lump sum distributions at such time as they are arranged. These items of funding are in addition to and not inclusive of the land/lease expenditures.
The first year of exploration will include:
— Immediate initiation of the proprietary Gravity Survey.
— Immediate initiation of contact with Exxon to acquire the Seismic data.
— Immediate initiation to acquire the commercial Gravity and Aeromagnetic Survey data available.
— Geologic field mapping on the Play during weather permitting available months.
— Geologic assessment, sampling, biostratigraphic analysis, well studies.
— Attempt to acquire programs and expertise to model Gravity and Aeromagnetic data.
— Begin integration of data into a structural model.
— Administer the exploration, map making , acquisition of Exxon Seismic, outside consultants and contractors and daily business to support the field activities.
The second year of exploration will include:
— Geologic field mapping on the Play during weather permitting available months.
— Geologic assessment, sampling, biostratigraphic analysis, well studies.
— Continue the new proprietary Gravity Survey.
— a Continue integration of data into a structural model and work to refine the model.
— If not previously acquired, continue attempt to acquire the relevant Exxon Seismic data. Contract to have the data reprocessed and interpreted.
— Administer the exploration, map making, acquisition and reprocessing of Exxon Seismic data, outside consultants and contractors and daily business to support the field activities.
Cedar Strat will provide Fort Xxxxx with monthly progress reports which will include a summary of the exploration work done, a breakdown of the expected work to be undertaken in the next month, and a summary of the results to date.
Fort Xxxxx may upon request join in, observe and give input to field work, development of structural cross-sections, quality control meetings for the Exxon Seismic data, marketing and activities scheduled by Cedar Strat regarding the Play.
Funds for the different budgeted items may be accelerated or delayed from one year to the other with prior approval of Fort Xxxxx, i.e. the acquisition of Exxon Seismic. Funds may be allocated to different categories with prior approval of Fort Xxxxx.
Cedar Strat will if and when requested by Fort Xxxxx attend any such investment banking, shareholder or other meetings and make such other presentations in respect of the Play as may be required by Fort Xxxxx to assist in the fundraising or promotion of the Play generally. Any direct expenses reasonably incurred by Cedar Strat and approved by Fort Xxxxx in performing such services will be payable by Fort Xxxxx.
Funds not advanced, as per above schedule of estimated work, when needed have the potential for causing the failure to acquired data, leases, information, materials and services. If funds are not available, the progress of the exploration may be suspended, costs may be increased or an opportunity may be lost i.e. acquisition of Exxon Seismic data or the inability to acquire leases at the BLM lease sale auction. Such delays or inability to acquire leases will not automatically unto themselves extend the “election” period described in this Agreement.
Within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat will establish, by mutual consent, a proposed exploration schedule in respect of the implementation of the initial exploration program. If Fort Xxxxx fails to advance the proposed exploration funds for a period exceeding 60 days from the dates specified in the exploration schedule, such failure may, if not cured, constitute a breach of this agreement. Fort Xxxxx will have 60 days from the initial due date, to pay or post security for payment of the applicable exploration funds. If such amounts are not paid within 60 days therefrom, then Fort Xxxxx must within 30 days thereof, transfer leases back to Cedar Strat. Cedar Strat will then have the right and opportunity to continue the proposed exploration efforts on the transferred leases, which may include marketing the leases to “arm’s length” third parties for completion of the exploration funding. Cedar Strat will give Fort Xxxxx 15 days written notice of the terms of and parties to any proposed arm’s length sale of any such leases.
Fort Xxxxx has the irrevocable right at any time during the initial two year term of the Agreement, to reacquire any and all such transferred leases, assuming such leases have not been sold. To reacquire such leases Fort Xxxxx will pay to Cedar Strat all exploration expenses paid by Cedar Strat in continuation of the proposed exploration schedule, plus a 25% penalty on such amounts so paid. In addition, Fort Xxxxx shall also reimbursed Cedar Strat for expenses reasonably incurred by Cedar Strat in advancing the Play during the default, including a 25% penalty on the such expenses. Upon such payment, the transferred leases will automatically be transferred back to Fort Xxxxx.
Should there be the situation where a task becomes impossible to accomplish, e.g. the acquisition of Exxon Seismic data, the amounts identified will be subject to designation by Fort Xxxxx, with the agreement of Cedar Strat, to another activity, e.g. the acquisition of non-Exxon Seismic data or contracting the shooting of new seismic data, etc. No specific liability to either party will inure in such a case.

Ownership of Data
The ownership of data shall be delineated as follows:
— Cedar Strat will generate new geologic mapping under the budget. This data will be owned by Cedar Strat and licensed to Fort Xxxxx and other participants of the play at no additional charge. The data will be kept confidential as outlined in Section 3.
— Cedar Strat will possibly generate new well studies under the budget. These may or may not be within the play AMI. To be able to make high quality balanced cross sections for exploration purposes, it is necessary to tie in geology beyond the boundaries of the AMI. Cedar Strat will determine if there are xxxxx that need this analysis that would help the play. The data will be owned by Cedar Strat and licensed at no extra cost to Fort Xxxxx and participants.
— Cedar Strat will take samples for biostratigraphic verification and have them analyzed by a Paleontologist. This data will be owned by Cedar Strat and licensed to Fort Xxxxx and other participants of the play at no additional charge.
— Cedar Strat will and already has licensed all the commercial gravity and aeromagnetic data available relating to the play. The license will be and is in the name of Cedar Strat. This data extends far beyond the boundaries of the AMI to verify the readings within the AMI and make the highest possible knowledgeable judgments for the creation of balanced cross sections. The data will be used for the benefit of the play at no additional charge.
— Cedar Strat will and already has contracted an entity to make a proprietary gravity survey to fill in the areas not covered by the commercial gravity data. Cedar Strat will own the data and license it at no charge to Fort Xxxxx et. al. This data will be integrated into the commercial data for a seamless look at the gravity model extending far beyond the AMI.
— Cedar Strat has a unique opportunity with Exxon to acquire seismic data. This data will be bought under the budget in the name of Cedar Strat. The license from Exxon will be to Cedar Strat. This data will be used for the benefit of the play at no additional charge than that in the budget. If the acquisition of the Exxon Seismic becomes impossible, this portion of the budget may be used to acquire non-Exxon seismic or allocated at Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat discretion.
— Cedar Strat may find it necessary or desirable to acquire specialized software, hardware and equipment within the budget for but not limited to the evaluation and modeling of the gravity and other data or software for the purposes of developing balanced structural cross sections. These items will be licensed or bought in the name of Cedar Strat. This may include hiring specialists that have an ability to utilize this specialized software and help generate the balanced cross sections. The use of any specialized software, consultants and the work product resulting therefrom will be for the benefit of the play at no charge exceeding the budget.
— The items discussed will not be sold or licensed by Cedar Strat to outside entities for a period outlined in Section 3. However, some of the information, charts, graphs, etc. will be used in the marketing effort and revealed in such settings as to help market the play or prospects therein.
— As I have used the term Participant, that would be an entity that has purchased at least 25% of the working interest of the Play or a Prospect generated and sold as a subset of the Play. A lesser percentage working interest partner will receive the benefit of the data but not a license to or possession of the data. However, Fort Xxxxx and Cedar Strat will be the exception to this in that we are the exploration team developing the data.
— Fort Xxxxx will, at their discretion, shoot additional 3D seismic data which is not part of the budget. This will be owned by Fort Xxxxx and licensed to Cedar Strat and the participants in the play at no additional costs. This will be used for the benefit of the play and the construction of balanced cross sections as it relates in harmony with the other data acquired by Cedar Strat. Cedar Strat will receive a license to this data at no additional cost.
