Re: Xxxxxxx
Dome Prospect Letter Agreement
Brazoria County, Texas
Dear
Xx.
Xxxxx:
When
executed, this letter will represent an agreement by and between Jordan Oil
Company, Inc. (“Jordan”) and Affiliated Holdings, Inc. (Affiliated), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Unicorp, Inc. and set forth the terms and conditions
under which Affiliated agrees to participate in the Xxxxxxx Dome Prospect,
Brazoria County, Texas, (“Prospect”) being the area within the bold outline
shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. The following are the terms
covering the Prospect area, to-wit:
a) |
Jordan
agrees to assign to Affiliated an undivided fifteen percent (15%) interest
in and to all oil and gas interests within the Prospect area, subject
to
the following reservations:
|
1) |
Jordan
hereby reserves an overriding royalty interest (“ORRI”) equal to the
difference between existing lease burdens and twenty-six percent (26.5%)
for all leases acquired within the Prospect AMI. Jordan has leased
approximately 1204 Gross Acres and 890.45 net acres in the project
to
date. Jordan has not yet consummated the leases covering approximately
400
net acres in the project but has an ongoing effort to complete same.
Unicorp agrees to pay its proportionate share of the acquisition of
these
leases and/or rentals which become due and the associated brokerage
cost
to acquire the balance of these leases when acquired by Jordan. Jordan
will exercise its best efforts in delivering seventy three and one
half
percent net revenue leases; however, in no event shall Jordan’s ORRI in
any lease be less than three percent (3%). Should any lease cover less
than a one-hundred percent (100%) mineral interest, then the ORRI shall
be
proportionally reduced.
|
2) |
Affiliated
shall bear its fifteen percent (15%) share of all actual land and
geological costs. These costs are estimated to be $565,000 to date;
therefore, Affiliated’s share would be $84,750.00. Affiliated will forward
said payment to Jordan within 5 days of signing this letter agreement.
Should the actual land, geological and geophysical costs exceed
$565,000.00, Jordan will xxxx Affiliated for its additional share of
these
costs and Affiliated will remit payment to Jordan within 30 days.
|
3) |
Affiliated
shall bear eighteen and 75/100 percent (18.75%) of the cost associated
with drilling the first well on the Prospect to casing point. However;
should the initial well’s actual cost exceed the cost shown on the final
approved AFE, then Affiliated shall bear eighteen and 75/100 percent
(18.75%) of the actual drilling costs that are in excess of the approved
AFE Cost before casing point and shall bear fifteen percent (15%) of
all
costs associated with the initial test well after casing point election
and fifteen percent (15%) of all other costs associated with the Prospect,
pursuant to the terms of a 1989 AAPL Model Form Operating Agreement,
attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. Jordan will xxxx Affiliated for its
prorata share of the AFE, thirty days in advance of operations commencing
on any well drilled within the AMI and Affiliated shall remit said
amount
to Jordan within seven (7) days of receiving said xxxx.
|
4) |
Jordan
will be designated as Operator. The final drilling location, depths
and
objective formations, drilling prognosis and associated AFE will be
presented to the parties.
|
5) |
Jordan
and Affiliated agree that they will execute a 1989 Form Joint Operating
Agreement (“JOA”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”
with an AMI covering the area of interest and delineated by a plat
attached to the Confidentiality Agreement attached as Exhibit
“B”.
|
6) |
Neither
Jordan nor Affiliated shall sell, transfer, or assign any of its interest
without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not
be
unreasonably withheld.
|
Should
this Letter Agreement accurately reflect our understanding, please so indicate
by signing, dating and returning to my attention one original hereof at your
earliest convenience. This Letter Agreement shall be null, void and have no
further effect unless accepted by Affiliated and returned to Jordan via mail
and/or facsimile on or before 4:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, July 22,
2005.
Very
truly yours,
