This Agreement is made as of March 5, 2007.
BETWEEN:
PRIMEGEN ENERGY CORPORATION, a body corporate under the laws of the State of Nevada
(“PrimeGen”)
AND: |
|
MB GAS INC., a body corporate incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta
(“MB”)
RECITAL:
A. |
PrimeGen signed a letter of intent dated August 14, 2006 whereby it was contemplated that PrimeGen would purchase the issued and outstanding shares of MB upon certain terms and conditions; |
B. |
The share purchase transaction did not proceed and the letter of intent ceased to have any force of effect on October 1, 2006; and |
C. |
Rather than a purchase of equity of MB by PrimeGen, it has been determined that a form of funding and revenue sharing arrangement will be entered into. |
NOW THEREFORE IN CONSIDERATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. |
The following expressions shall have these meanings: |
“Additional Loans” means loans of up to CDN$3,000,000 that PrimeGen may advance to MB, provided Initial Loans of not less than $3,000,000 have been made.
“Agreement” means this agreement, as amended from time to time.
“Initial Loans” means loans of up to CDN$3,000,000 that PrimeGen may advance to MB.
“LOI” means the letter of intent dated August 14, 2006 whereby it was contemplated that PrimeGen would purchase the issued and outstanding shares of MB.
“MB Assets” means all of the assets of MB wherever situate including, without limitation:
|
1 |
Alberta EUB Operator’s License |
|
2 |
Alberta EUB Facilities Licenses & Well Licenses where applicable |
|
3 |
office furniture – board table etc. |
|
4 |
21 shares of the issued shareholding of Goldstar Gas Corp. (approx. 10% of such securities) |
|
5 |
Files representing the MB Gas Assets |
|
6 |
MB Gas Accounting & CRA records |
|
7 |
all receivables |
|
8 |
all interests in drilling contracts, completion contracts, joint exploration and operating agreements |
|
9 |
all mineral and petroleum interests claimed or owned by MB in any lands |
|
10 |
all interests in processing and transportation facilities |
“Payment Period” means a calendar month.
“Parties” means the parties to this Agreement.
“PrimeGen Revenue” for a given Payment Period means 75% of Revenue, until the Initial Loans and the Additional Loans, respectively, are fully repaid, after which PrimeGen Revenue will equal the Residual Revenue.
“Promissory Note” means demand promissory note, substantially in the form as is attached hereto as Schedule “A”, as issued from time to time by MB to PrimeGen to secure the Initial Loans and the Additional Loans, as applicable. A Promissory Note will not bear interest and no demand will be made for the repayment of the same during the Term.
“Residual Revenue” for a given Payment Period means, for an Initial Loans balance of $3,000,000 at the beginning of a Payment Period, 30% of Revenue; however, if the Initial Loans total less than $3,000,000 at the beginning of a Payment Period Residual Revenue for the subject Payment Period will be that percentage as is obtained when 30% is multiplied by a fraction, where the numerator of that fraction is the total amount of Initial Loans and the denominator is $3,000,000. For example, if the Initial Loans balance totals $2,000,000 at the beginning of a Payment Period, Residual Revenue for the subject Payment Period will be 20% of Revenue. If Additional Loans are advanced and the total of Initial Loans and Additional Loans is $6,000,000 at the beginning of a Payment Period, Residual Revenue shall be 60% of Revenues; however, if Initial Loans and Additional Loans balance totals less than $6,000,000 at the beginning of a Payment Period, Residual Revenue will equal that percentage as is obtained when 60% is multiplied by a fraction, where the numerator of that fraction is the total amount of Initial Loans plus Additional Loans, and the denominator is $6,000,000. For example, if the Initial Loans and Additional Loans balance totals $4,500,000 at the beginning of Payment Period, Residual Revenue for the subject Payment Period will be 45% of Revenue.
“Revenue” means the total pre-tax gross revenue received by MB from all operations during a Payment Period.
“Term” means a period of 36-months from the date of this Agreement.
2. |
The Parties agree that the LOI (inclusive of all tentative agreements and understandings based in whole or in part upon the transactions contemplated therein) is terminated and of no further force or effect. |
3. |
PrimeGen hereby purchases, and MB hereby sells, conveys and assigns to PrimeGen, |
the PrimeGen Revenue, subject to the advance of Initial Loans and Additional Loans, as applicable..
4. |
Initial Loans and Additional Loans, as applicable, will be secured by a Promissory Note and assignment to PrimeGen of the PrimeGen Revenue. MB agrees to cooperate fully in the execution and registration by PrimeGen, as requested from time to time, of such assignments and other personal property instruments, as PrimeGen requires to reserve, register and perfect a security interest in the PrimeGen Revenue. |
5. |
Initial Loans and Additional Loans, as applicable, shall be repaid as PrimeGen Revenue commencing in the first Payment Period in which MB has Revenue. Once the Initial Loans and any Additional Loans have been repaid, PrimeGen shall be entitled to receive Residual Revenue for as long as MB has Revenue. |
6. |
Provided Initial Loans of not less than $3,000,000 have been advanced to MB during the Term, PrimeGen shall have the option from and after the advance of the full $3,000,000 and, in any event, no later than 60-days after the expiration of the Term, to advance Additional Loans. |
7. |
The proceeds from Initial Loans and Additional Loans will be spent by MB for the purposes agreed between the parties hereto at the time of the advances, failing which such proceeds will be used as directed by PrimeGen. |
8. |
MB shall execute and deliver all such assignments, agreements, notices, certificates and other documents and do all such further acts and things as may be reasonably requested by PrimeGen in order to give effect to the purposes and intent of this Agreement. |
9. |
MB represents and warrants to PrimeGen as follows: |
|
a) |
that no third party has placed upon the MB Assets any liens, charges, encumbrances, mortgages, claims, pledges and security interests of any nature or kind whatsoever or in respect of which any third party has delivered notice to MB claiming a lien, charge, encumbrance, mortgage, claim, pledge or security interest and which notice has come to the attention of MB; |

|
e) |
no person, firm, corporation or other entity has any agreement or option or any right or privilege, whether preemptive or contractual or arising by way of law or equity, for the purchase from MB of any interest in Revenue or in the MB Assets; and |
