QUESTERRE ENERGY INC.
MEMO
To: Parties to the Beaver River Joint Venture Agreement ("JV
Parties")
From: Questerre Energy Inc.
CC:
Date: 10/12/00
Re: Earn-in Agreement
Dear Sirs:
We felt we had very productive meetings with you last week regarding
your Beaver River property. We are very excited by this project and
believe that we can do the best possible job of proving the value for
everyone. This memo is to outline our understandings and agreements
with respect to this property.
We have reached an understanding on the basis under which Questerre
Energy Inc. ("Questerre") will earn-in to the Beaver River property.
This is outlined below:
In addition, the JV Parties agree from the date hereof not to solicit
offers nor enter into negotiations with other parties without 15-day
prior written notice to Questerre (the "Exclusive Period"). As
consideration, commencing October 1, 2000. Questerre agrees to pay the
JV Parties' share of the operating costs (currently estimated at
$15,000 per month) during the Exclusive Period. Questerre may end the
Exclusive Period by 15 day written notice to the JV Parties.
Page 1
The JV parties have title to the Beaver River petroleum and natural
gas rights subject only to encumbrances by the Crown and a 1% gross
over-riding royalty.
The JV parties have title to all equipment and data subject only to a
possible claim by Wascana in certain equipment.
Questerre will earn an interest in the property through a work
commitment of a minimum of $5 million dollars designed to prove the
economic viability of this property. Questerre may spend more than
this amount but will earn an interest in the lands and equipment after
$5 million has been spent by Questerre on the project. The $5 million
will be the minimum pay-out amount and represents a reasonable
estimate of the expenditures required for the minimum work program. It
will include any payments required to Wascana, putting one well on
production and completing one work-over for a de-watering well.
All amounts are in Canadian dollars.
Questerre will be operator/manager of the work commitment and of the
joint venture so long as it is not in material default under the
agreements.
Any votes on special & material items shall require the vote of at
lease two partners holding at least 60% of the joint venture.
Significant new work programs will constitute a material item. Regular
& routine decisions will be by a simple majority if not within the
authority of the operator. The voting procedures will not prevent any
party from sole risk operations pursuant to the operating agreement
subject to any relevant penalty clause. The penalty clause will be set
at 600% for the purposes of the operating agreement.
In consideration of the work commitment Questerre will earn the
following rights to the project cash flow all subject to a 4% gross
over riding royalty to the JV parties above and beyond the existing 1%
encumbrance:
10. From inception of the work program 100% of cash flow until the
greater of $5 million or 1 times the pay out amount.
Page 2
11.
Thereafter, 80% of cash flow until the greater of $10 million or 2
times the pay out amount.
12. A reasonable abandonment reserve will be charged as a project
cost for the benefit of all parties commencing after 2 times the pay
out amount.
13. Thereafter, 70% of cash flow until the greater of $30 million or
5 times the pay out amount.
14. Thereafter, 60% of cash flow and the 4% overriding royalty shall
cease.
The JV Parties shall have the option but no obligation to participate
in up to $750,000 or 15% of the initial work program with the same
benefits and obligations as Questerre though Questerre shall remain as
operator.
The JV Parties shall have the option but no obligation to participate
in any spending beyond $5 million by paying their proportionate share
of the JV parties net 40% interest.
Any spending made by Questerre above and beyond the $5 million minimum
work commitment on a sole risk basis shall be added to the pay-out
amount for the purposes of the above calculations.
After achievement of the greater of $30 million or 6 times the pay-out
amount, the earn in agreement shall become an operating agreement and
the JV parties will no longer have the option to be carried through
any work programs. The operating agreement shall be in the normal form
for such agreements in Western Canada.
The above understanding is subject to formal documentation and due
diligence satisfactory to Questerre. Questerre due diligence will be
satisfactory to it in its full discretion and will include.
(a) Receipt and review of all data including that currently held by
Wascana
(b) Confirmation of condition of and relinquishment of equipment by
Wascana for a reasonable amount.
Page 3
(c)
This and encumbrances including amounts Amoco and Wascana are liable
for including back royalties.
(d) Environmental and abandonment assessment.
(e) Gas marketing and transit agreements.
We are writing to devote out attention and resources to this project
with the objective of initiating a work program this winter. We are
also confident that we will be able to establish a good working
rapport with you that will give the project the best possible chances
of success.
This agreement is open for acceptance until Tuesday, October 3, 2000.
Please signify your agreement by your signature below and we will
advance funds for October operating costs and proceed with the
preparation of formal operating agreements.
Very best regards,
Questerre Energy Inc.
