AGREEMENT
Effective Date: On Signature Page
Dear “Buyer”:
When accepted by you, by your execution below, this will evidence the agreement (“Agreement”) between you, as the “Buyer” (the Buyer is “XXXXXXXXX HOLDINGS LTD.) and ROCKOIL ENERGY OF TEXAS, INC., a Texas corporation, as the “Company” or “Seller,” for the acquisition by Buyer of an undivided working interest in certain South Texas Re-Entry Prospects located in either Dewitt, Karnes, Lavaca, or Victoria Counties on a “turnkey” basis and further described on a well by well basis on Exhibit A hereto or to be added by written agreement of the Buyer and Seller all as provided below.
Buyer and Seller agree as follows:
1. Property. Seller is the present holder of certain leasehold interests in Oil and Gas leases. These leases contain abandoned wellbores viable for the purpose of re-entry and are presented as a “Group.” (the “Group”). The Group is more particularly identified on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated by reference. Seller is and will remain the owner of all of the personal property, improvements, lease, well equipment, easements, permits, licenses, servitudes and rights-of-way, if any (including, but not by way of limitation, if any, all units, casing, tubing, tanks, boilers, separators, buildings, fixtures, machinery, injection facilities, salt water disposal facilities, compression facilities and other equipment, processing plants, gathering systems, pipelines, power lines, telephone and telegraph lines, roads and other appurtenances and easements) situated upon or used or useful or held for future use in connection with the exploration, development or operation or maintenance of the Group, with the initial property to be a three well program under Exhibit A (the “Property” or “Personal Property”).
2. Purchase Price, Interests Acquired (Turnkey) and Distribution. A. Purchase Price. The Buyer shall pay the sum of $2,550,000 (“Purchase Price”) to Seller for each three xxxxx pursued within the Group. Payment will be made in whole or part following the date of this Agreement with full payment as soon as possible. Seller will commence to use all such payments from Buyer for the operations that are the subject hereof notwithstanding less than full payment by the Buyer (in the event that Buyer fails to pay the full price by August 1, 2005, Seller will allocate a pro rata portion of what Buyer would otherwise obtain less any consideration, determined by Seller, for the resulting disruption in the business plan given less than full payment by the Buyer). All figures are in U.S. dollars and any payment remitted to the Seller must be done via a U.S. banking institution. Purchase Price is non-refundable.
B. Interests Acquired (Turnkey). In consideration of the Purchase Price, Seller will be given a Working Interest, subject to this Agreement, in what are intended to eventually be three commercially producing oil and or gas xxxxx within the Group on what is called a “turnkey” basis (turnkey meaning that any costs Seller encounters to complete the three well reworks, beyond the $2,550,000, will be the responsibility of Seller, and Buyer will not need to advance additional monies). While Seller cannot guarantee the timing or attaining of commercial production, given there are a multitude of factors beyond Seller’s control, Seller will endeavor using best efforts to develop such production on an expedited basis.
C. Distributions. The Working Interests entitle the Buyer to distributions from available “net revenues” of the commercial production, this being the entitlement of the Buyer under this Agreement in consideration for the Purchase Price. Distribution will occur and be subject to the following. As to payment from each dollar in “net revenues” (defined below) from any one or more of the xxxxx operated within the Group, the parties agree that the following shall control distribution: Seller will first retain and allocate and pay 30% of the balance for both Property and Seller operational royalties and taxes payables and related charges and expenses, then 5% of the then remaining balance will be paid to a New York business consultant to the parties as contracted by Seller, then from the balance, a payment towards a monthly “Hold Back,” into an account established by Seller (defined below), and, then the remaining proceeds will be allocated and paid 25% to Seller and 75% to Buyer.
D. Misc. (i) Payments will be in U.S. dollars.
(ii) Net revenues shall be gross revenue from oil and gas and condensate sales generated by the well operations identified under Exhibit A, less transportation, storage, sales commissions and other customary deductions from gross resulting in the figure for “net revenues.”
(iii) The Hold Back, which will be deducted as stated above, will be the total sum of $10,000 each month of commercial production, which will be placed in a designated bank account by Seller to be drawn down to facilitate potential future rework costs as to the subject Group, as needed, which monies will be reviewed annually by Seller as operator to determine whether same should be retained for reworks or considered as distributable under this Agreement (so that the unused amount not retained for future reworks will be distributed to Seller and Buyer per the existing interest percentages as of date of release by Seller for distribution). Therefore, if at the end of each year following commercial production as to a well, the Seller concludes the Hold Back is not committed for or reasonably projected to be used for expenditures, it will be released to Seller and Buyer
(iv) Monies due to Buyer per this Agreement will be paid within 30 business days following the financial quarter of accrual from receipts of gross revenues. Monthly statements summarizing subject Property financial activity will be supplied to Buyer.
3. Reworking Operations and Certain Reports. A. Seller agrees to rework the Group or Group part selected to complete, or recomplete, xxxxx in the Zone of Interest, as more fully described under Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein (the “Reworking Operations”). Seller will use the net proceeds of the Purchase Price to execute the Reworking Operations focusing on the Exhibit A zones, expending the proceeds as it determines. If the first zone of interest targeted by Seller for the rework fails to produce commercially, a second zone in the same wellbore will be selected and tried by the Seller, at no cost to the Buyer. Seller will, on a best efforts basis, act to produce three commercially performing xxxxx within the Group. Seller will have full control as to Reworking Operations except as described herein. Seller is, notwithstanding anything, sole operator. Seller, based upon the intent and wish to achieve commercial production subject to the provisions of this Agreement, agrees and represents that: it will continue its operations, and not cease or abandon business operations or terminate its existence as a business operation or corporation, while performing under this Agreement, for any bad faith purpose such as avoiding the performance due from Seller hereunder, and also Seller will not act in bad faith in treating minor or nominal production as having met the goal of commercial production and Seller also will not act in bad faith in intentionally abandoning a well zone on the argument or basis that Seller tried and failed when in reality Seller could have undertaken more focused efforts to pursue production from the zone. Note that Seller has the right to modify its plans, from time to time, but only as deemed necessary by Seller, for the purposes of accomplishing the project.
B. Seller will supply Buyer with weekly progress reports on an informal basis, more comprehensive monthly reports, and highly detailed quarterly reports including financial figures.
C. Full geological reports and estimated reserve reports will be made available to Buyer.
4. Additional Xxxxx. Seller will continue to update Buyer with area developments and production statistics as requested during and the validity of this Agreement as to the Property and other opportunities made available by Seller since it is contemplated Buyer may purchase, as to additional properties beyond Exhibit A, additional Working Interests which will be priced on a per prospect basis and working interest terms and other terms as set forth herein, potentially, without guarantee, of up to $50 million in additional purchase payments to Seller. In this regard, as the parties will confirm by amendment to this Agreement, the terms hereof will apply to said additional pursuits. The potential gas xxxxx for each additional project will be discussed and agreed by both parties. Full geological reports and estimated reserve reports will be made available prior to concluding the choices. Xxxxx will be selected by Buyer from those available in the XxXxxx county area and available from Seller’s portfolio of leases containing xxxxx. Xxxxx with the highest estimates at the time will be chosen in conjunction with the recommendation from Seller in respect of ease of operation. This paragraph relates to potential future prospects.
5. Transfer by Buyer. Following execution of this Agreement, upon payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or part, it will be deemed that Buyer was transferred that portion of the Working Interest above, based upon a total Purchase Price due of $2,550,000 for the interests stated, but only to the extent so paid by the Buyer. Buyer has the right to transfer its future expected return or distribution as stated below in the Section titled, “Assignment and Third Parties Dealing With Buyer.” Notwithstanding this Section or the referenced section or anything whatsoever, Seller will deal exclusively with Buyer and not contact any third party dealing with Buyer, as detailed below.
6. Operations and Independent Relationship. The parties acknowledge they are independent from one another, each responsible for taxes, compliance with laws, and independent operations, with Seller to be responsible for operation of the business discussed herein. This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship, partnership, or other relationship in that the Seller and Buyer are permitted to conduct business independent of one another.
7. Access to Information. Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer access to and the right to copy all leases, assignments of lease, title opinions, abstracts of title and other title information in Seller’s possession with respect to the Property.
