3.1 | Current Leasehold. The Assignors represent that they own oil and gas leases totaling approximately 6,511 net acres that comprise the West Greybull Project. A complete schedule of the oil and gas leases involved is included as Exhibit 1 attached hereto. | ||
3.2 | Title Examination. Within five (5) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Assignors will make available to TETON, at TETON’s office, all title information pertaining to the Current Leasehold. However, the Assignors acknowledges that all lease bonuses, rentals, royalties, including minimum advance royalties, shut-in payments, and any other payments which are required to perpetuate the Current Leasehold have been paid, or satisfied to date, and all oil and gas leases covering the Current Leasehold are in full force and effect.

Any of the Current Leasehold not identified in said written notice by TETON within said thirty (30) days shall be deemed as acceptable title by Teton and paid for by Teton at closing. A material title defect shall include, but not be limited to any lease with a proportionate net revenue interest less than 81% (after creation of the Assignors overriding royalty provided for in Section 3.3), except in the case of Wyoming State Lease No. 06-00492, in which case a material title defect exists if the proportionate net revenue interest of the Assignors in that lease is less than 80.5% (after creation of the Assignors overriding royalty provided for in Section 3.3). If an existing environmental hazard is present that affects more than 50% of the surface overlying the existing leasehold, Teton may elect to terminate this Agreement with no further obligation to the Assignors. TETON shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request that any of the Current Leasehold that it deems subject to a title defect be omitted from this Agreement, and the assignment to TETON by the Assignors will not include said leases. In |

with no further obligation to the Assignors. In the event any leases are omitted from this
Agreement the consideration provided for in Article 6.1 shall be reduced by an amount equal
to $75 per net acre multiplied by the number of net acres affected by such title defects.
If the Assignors cure title defects to TETON’s satisfaction at any time within sixty (60)
days after the date of closing then title to the omitted leases will be deemed to be
acceptable and the Assignors will assign said leasehold to TETON pursuant to all terms and
conditions of this Agreement and TETON shall remit to the Assignors payment at the rate
stated herein.
3.3 | Net Revenue Interest. All Current Leasehold shall be subject to the retention of overriding royalty interests by the Assignors or their designees. Said overriding royalty interests shall equal the difference between the existing burdens (whether or not of record as of the effective date hereof) and nineteen percent (19%) with the exception of State of Wyoming Lease No.06-00492 recited on Exhibit 1, which said overriding royalty interests shall equal the difference between the existing burdens and nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%). | ||
3.4 | Data. Teton shall furnish to the Assignors, to the extent allowed by law or license and availability, within ten (10) business days which such data becomes available to Teton, all data specified in the attached Geological Requirements Exhibit 5 on all xxxxx drilled drilled within the AMI. The Assignors will keep all such data and information strictly confidential, and such data shall not be disclosed to any third party until made public by TETON or appropriate state or federal regulatory agencies.

3.5 | Commitment Test Well. Prior to April 25, 2010, TETON commits to commence or cause to be commenced the drilling of a well within the West Greybull Project to a depth sufficient to adequately test the Greybull Sandstone found at an approximate depth of 12,380’ in the Gulf Xxxx Fed Well located in the SE1/4 of Sec. 26, T.52N.,R95W, Big Horn County, Wyoming, (the “Commitment Test Well”). TETON shall cause the Commitment Test Well to be drilled on a drilling/spacing unit comprising at least fifty percent (50%) Current Leasehold or, Additional Leasehold. If no drilling/spacing unit has been established by the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission prior to the spud date of the Commitment Test Well, the drilling/spacing unit for such well for purposes of this section shall be the 160 acre quarter section on which the well is to be drilled. If the drilling/spacing unit for TETON’s desired location for the Commitment Test Well includes at least 50% Current Leasehold or Additional Leasehold but access to such Current Leasehold or Additional Leasehold cannot be obtained due to lease stipulations, unavailable access or other reason beyond TETON’s reasonable control, then TETON shall be permitted to locate the Commitment Test Well at an accessible location, which may be on a drilling/spacing unit not including at least 50% Current Leasehold or Additional Leasehold, but in that event the Assignors Overriding Royalty shall be not less than two-percent (2.0%) of 8/8ths. If TETON fails to commence drilling the Commitment Test Well on or before April 25, 2010 as provided for under this Article 3.5, for any reason other than those covered by Article 9.5 herein, TETON shall immediately reassign to the Assignors an undivided 100% of its interests acquired hereunder free and clear of any liens, judgments or burdens other than the overriding royalty interests provided for herein. | ||
3.6 | West Greybull Project Xxxxx — General. All operations by TETON with respect to West Greybull Project Xxxxx will be conducted in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with good oil field practice.

Article 4.
LEASE MANAGEMENT
4.1 | Rentals, Minimum Royalties and Production Accounting. Rental payments and minimum royalty payments required under the terms of any of the Current Leashold, which are due after the closing date, will be paid on behalf of the Parties by TETON, except for any Current Leasehold which may be excluded pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2. Rental payments and minimum royalty payments required under Additional Leasehold within the West Greybull Project AMI shall be paid by the party owning such leasehold. Should any lease be lost as a result of the inadvertent failure to make proper payment of any rental, option, shut-in well payment or minimum royalty, such loss will be borne by the Parties jointly and there will be no recourse against or liability on the part of the Party who failed to make such payment. Any failure to pay delay rentals after the closing date on any federal lease that is a part of the Current Leasehold (unless excluded pursuant to Section 3.2) or Additional Leasehold that results in a reinstatement of said lease with a higher royalty burden shall not serve to reduce the overriding royalties granted to the Assignors as set forth in Paragraphs 3.3 and 5.1 herein. | ||
4.2 | Lease Records. On behalf of the Parties, TETON, as Operator, will maintain appropriate land and lease records relating to the West Greybull Project. | ||

And being the same lands located within the West Greybull Project Area as defined herein.
The AMI between the Parties will continue in effect for the term commencing with the
Effective Date hereof and ending April 25, 2010 unless sooner terminated by the express
written consent of both Parties. In the event that any Party acquires any oil and gas
leasehold, oil and gas leases, mineral rights, royalty interests or other rights of
entitlement to oil and gas interests covering any lands within the AMI during the term
of the AMI, then such acquiring Party shall provide written notice thereof to each
other Party within thirty (30) days of such acquisition, advising of the costs and
terms of the acquisition. If the Assignors or any one of them are the acquiring party,
TETON shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of such notice to furnish the
acquiring Party with reimbursement for the acquisition costs of such lease(s) and the
acquiring Party shall promptly thereafter assign to TETON all right, title and interest
in such lease(s), reserving to itself an overriding royalty interest of two and
4
one-half percent ( 2.5%) in the proportions Mélange l/3rd, Tinker
l/3rd and
Xxxxxx l/3rd . If TETON is the acquiring party, then it
shall assign to the Assignors, or to its designees, an overriding royalty interest in
such lease(s) in an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) to the Assignorsl in
the same proportions as stated above. In the event the acquired leasehold existing
burdens excluding the the Assignors two and one half percent (2.5%) overriding royalty
interest totals nineteen percent (19%), then the the Assignors two and one half percent
(2.5%) overriding royalty interest shall be reduced to an amount, so that the net
revenue interest in the lease(s) is eighty one percent (81%). In any event however, the
the Assignors overriding royalty amount shall not be less than one-percent (1%). If the
interests being acquired are other than oil and gas leasehold or rights to earn oil and
gas leasehold, and are non-cost bearing interests, the Parties’ interests shall be in
the proportions fifty percent (50%) to TETON, and fifty percent (50%) to the Assignors.
Article 6.
ASSIGNMENTS AND CONSIDERATION
6.1 | Assignments and Consideration. Closing shall occur on May 18th, 2007. At closing, TETON shall remit to the Assignors cash consideration equal to the number of net acres of leasehold assigned multiplied by $75.00 for a total consideration of $488,325.00, subject to adjustment for title defects as provided in Section 3.2. The Assignors shall advise TETON in writing prior to the date of closing the proportionate amount of such payment payable to Mélange, Tinker, and Xxxxxx, respectively. | ||
The Assignors shall assign to TETON one hundred percent (100%) of the Assignors’ interest, as to all depths, subject to the retained/reserved overriding royalty interests provided for herein, in the Current Leasehold. All assignments from the Assignors to TETON shall be on a form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

All reservations of overriding royalty, as stated above in Article 3.3, shall be expressly stated. | |||
6.2 | Reassignment Obligation. If TETON receives an assignment under this Agreement or acquires a lease subject to this Agreement and thereafter elects to surrender, let expire, abandon or release said lease, TETON will notify the remaining Parties not less than sixty (60) days in advance of such surrender, expiration, abandonment or release. At the request of some or all of the remaining Parties, which request must be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, TETON will then immediately assign those rights to the requesting Parties and, upon receipt of that assignment, the requesting Parties will pay (if applicable) TETON the reasonable salvage value of any material or equipment received, less the estimated costs of reclamation and surface restoration.

Article 8.
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 | Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument executed by all Parties. | ||
8.2 | Overriding Royalty Interests. The overriding royalty interests provided for herein shall be treated as a lease burden existing on the effective date of this Agreement and not as a subsequently created interest. Said overriding royalties shall not merge with any working interest assigned or retained herein. | ||
The overriding royalties provided for hereunder shall apply to any extension or renewal of the Leasehold, insofar as such extension and renewal leases include lands covered by the Leasehold. For the purposes of this provision a renewal of an oil and gas lease is the taking by any party to this Agreement of any oil and/or gas lease within one year of the expiration, termination, or release of the preceding lease and a top lease. A renewal of a federal or state oil and gas lease is the taking by any party to this Agreement of any oil and gas lease offered at the next federal or state lease sale at which all or a part of the acreage covered by the preceding federal or state lease subject to this Agreement is offered for lease, as long as any party hereto has made a request to the BLM or State, within six (6) months from the expiration or termination of the preceding federal or state lease, to post such acreage for lease. The overriding royalties assigned hereunder shall apply to any extension or renewal of the Leasehold and such assignments of overriding royalties on renewals and extensions are to be provided in recordable form to the Assignors, or to its designees, within 30 days of the acquiring party’s acquisition of the lease(s). | |||
Further, any overriding royalty reserved by or assigned to the Assignors pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) be reduced proportionately to the leasehold working interests and the mineral estates leased thereby, which are burdened by said overriding royalty; (ii) be free of all drilling, development, production, operating and overhead costs and expenses; (iii) bear and pay its proportionate share of gross production taxes, pipeline taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes assessed against the gross production attributable to said overriding royalty interests; (iv) shall be computed upon the same basis as royalties payable to the United States on production from the West Greybull Project are calculated, in accordance with CFR code Chapter II, 206.150 thru 206.160 inclusive and payable to the Minerals Management Service. | |||
8.3 | Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws provision or ruole that would constitute application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado. With respect to any claims asserted or court proceedings initiated relating in whole or in part to this Agreement, the Parties consent to venue and jurisdiction in the Colorado District Court for the City and County of Denver (Second Judicial District) and in the Federal District Court for the District of Colorado. | ||
8.4 | Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart and will be binding upon the Parties and their heirs, successors, assigns, and legal representatives. | ||
8.5 | Force Majeure. If any Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to indemnify or make money payments or furnish security, that Party shall give to all other Parties prompt written notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it; thereupon, the obligations of the Party giving the notice, so far as they are affected by the force majeure, will be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the force majeure. The term “force majeure,” as here employed, |
6
means an act of God, strike, lockout, or other industrial disturbance, act
of the public enemy, war, blockade, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood, or other
act of Nature, explosion, governmental action, governmental delay, litigation, restraint,
injunction, unavailability of equipment, drilling permits, and any other cause, whether of
the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise, which is not reasonably within the
control of the Party claiming suspension.
8.5a The affected Party must use all reasonable diligence to remove the force majeure
situation as quickly as practicable. The requirement that any force majeure must be
remedied with all reasonable dispatch does not require the settlement of litigation or the
settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor difficulty by the Party involved, contrary
to its wishes; how all such difficulties are handled will be entirely within the
discretion of the Party concerned.
8.6 | Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns. No assignment by a Party shall in any way diminish or otherwise adversely affect the rights, interest, or obligations of any other Party. If any Party to this Agreement assigns or conveys all or a portion of its interest in this Agreement, said assignment or conveyance shall be specifically made subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Party assigning or conveying an interest shall notify all other Parties in writing of the conveyance and provide all other Parties with appropriate documents and information concerning the successor in interest. | ||
8.7 | Event of Conflict. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Exhibits, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. If any term or condition of this Agreement conflicts with a term or condition of the Current or Additional Leasehold, then such term or condition of the Current or Additional Leaseholds shall prevail and this Agreement will be deemed to be amended accordingly. | ||
