MUDDY CREEK EXPLORATION AGREEMENT
This Muddy Creek Exploration Agreement is made and entered into this
15th day of August, 2001, by and between Shama Zoe Limited Partnership ("Shama
Zoe"), a Colorado limited partnership whose address is 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000; Pannonian Energy, Inc. ("Pannonian"), a Delaware
corporation whose address is 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000; and Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP by XXXX XX Inc.,
its sole General/Partner ("Burlington"), whose address is 0000 Xxxxx "X" Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000. Shama Zoe was formerly known as Xxxxx Xxxxx Limited
Partnership, and certain lease files and other official property records do not
yet reflect the name change from Xxxxx Xxxxx Limited Partnership. For the
avoidance of doubt, however, reference in this Agreement to Shama Zoe and its
properties shall always include Xxxxx Xxxxx and its properties. Shama Zoe and
Pannonian are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Participants."
Shama Zoe is the owner of a substantial portion of the oil and gas
leasehold interests committed to the Muddy Creek Unit, a federal exploratory
unit covering lands in Sublette County, Wyoming. By an unrecorded Farmout
Agreement dated as of April 1, 2001, Shama Zoe granted Pannonian the right to
earn interests in the leases owned by Shama Zoe in the Muddy Creek Unit by
drilling up to two xxxxx, the first of which has already been drilled and
completed by Pannonian.
The Participants would like Burlington to obtain, process and interpret
new seismic data from lands within the Muddy Creek Unit. Burlington is willing
to perform this work if by so doing it may earn the right to acquire certain
interests in the Leases under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants,
and the agreements hereinafter set forth to be kept and performed, and subject
to all of the terms, provisions, conditions and reservations set forth herein,
the Participants and Burlington agree to the following:

Commitment, as of June 15, 2002, Burlington will pay Participants the sum of
$10,000 per line mile, however the payment will satisfy Burlington's Seismic
Commitment under this Agreement.
3. SECOND UNIT OBLIGATION WELL
The Muddy Creek Unit Agreement requires a Second Unit Obligation Well
be commenced on or before November 10, 2001. The unit agreement also requires
the well be drilled to at least a depth of 50 feet below the base of the Fort
Union Formation using an under-balanced method which allows for production of
formation fluids while drilling. Prior to commencing operations for the Second
Unit Obligation Well, Burlington will meet with the Bureau of Land Management
office in Casper, Wyoming to present Burlington's under-balanced method to be
used while drilling the Fort Union Formation in the Second Unit Obligation Well.
Burlington will commence operations for the Second Unit Obligation Well
on or before October 15, 2001. Participants agree to pay Burlington the
Incremental Costs to drill the Fort Union Formation using the under-balanced
method set forth above. After Burlington has drilled the Second Unit Obligation
Well or substitute well, if any, to a depth of 50 feet below the Base of the
Fort Union Formation Burlington will prepare an invoice for the Incremental
Costs. Participants will deliver payment to Burlington for the Incremental Costs
within 30 days after receipt of Burlington's invoice for such costs. Except to
the extent that Participants are specifically responsible for costs under the
express terms of this Article 3, the Second Unit Obligation Well shall be
drilled and completed at Burlington's sole risk and expense.
When Burlington has drilled the Second Unit Obligation Well to a depth
of 50 feet below the base of the Fort Union Formation, Burlington will suspend
its drilling operation and immediately notify Participants. Participants will
have 24 hours from receipt of such notice to elect to test or attempt a
completion in the Fort Union Formation. Such election shall be made to
Burlington in writing prior to the expiration of the 24 hour election period
with specific instructions for the operation(s) Participants desire to conduct.
Burlington will conduct the requested operation(s) on behalf of Participants.
However, Participants will bear the entire cost, risk and expense of any such
operation(s) conducted by Burlington in the Second Unit Obligation Well on
behalf of Participants in the Fort Union Formation after Burlington has drilled
to a depth of 50 feet below the base of the Fort Union Formation. Participants
agree to pay such costs within 30 days after receipt of Burlington's invoice for
such operation(s).
If Participants elect not to test or attempt a completion in the Fort
Union Formation or if Participants fail to notify Burlington of Participant's
election prior to the expiration of the 24 hour election period, Burlington may,
at its option, resume drilling and continue such operation until the Base of the
Xxxxx Formation has been penetrated in the Second Unit Obligation Well.
If Participants elect to complete the Second Unit Obligation Well in
the Fort Union Formation and if such completion results in production of
Economic Quantities of Hydrocarbons, Participants shall notify Burlington of
such event and of Participants' intention to produce oil and or gas from the
Fort Union Formation. Burlington will, within a reasonable time after receipt of
such notice, deliver to Participants an itemized statement of Burlington's costs
to drill the Second Unit Obligation Well to a depth of 50 feet below the Base of
the Fort Union Formation. Participants will, within 30 days after receipt of
such notice, reimburse Burlington for such costs plus any other costs paid by
Burlington and not yet reimbursed by Participants, including but not limited to
the drilling, testing, evaluating and completion of the Second Unit Obligation
Well in the Fort Union Formation. Burlington will operate the Second Unit
Obligation Well on behalf of Participants pursuant to the terms of the Operating
Agreement for the Muddy Creek Unit, unless after completion, Participants
provide Burlington written notice that the Participants desire to operate such
well. In such event, Burlington will provide Participants with an executed
Designation of Agent allowing Participants to operate said well under the terms
of the Muddy Creek Unit Agreement.
If Participants elect to complete the Second Unit Obligation Well in
the Fort Union Formation and fail to obtain production of Economic Quantities of
Hydrocarbons, then Participants shall notify Burlington of such event and of
Participants' desire to discontinue such completion operations. Burlington will
have 24 hours after receipt of this notice in which to elect either (i) to
resume drilling and continue drilling at Burlington's sole expense until the
Base of the Xxxxx Formation has been penetrated in the Second Unit Obligation
Well or (ii) to plug and abandon the well at Participants' sole expense.
It is understood, and Participants agree Burlington may, at its option,
drill the Second Unit Obligation Well deeper than the Xxxxx Formation.
4. OPTION XXXXX
By conducting the seismic program set forth in Article 2 and drilling
the Second Unit Obligation Well set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement,
Burlington will earn the right and option to drill Option Xxxxx at its sole risk
and expense to test the Xxxxx Formation on lands covered by the Leases.
Burlington shall have the right and option to drill Option Xxxxx at any time
consistent with the plan of development and operation as then in effect for the
Muddy Creek Unit. Burlington is under no obligation to drill any Option Well,
but it must provide written notice to Participants stating whether it elects to
drill an Option Well no later than 60 days before a well commencement date
required by the Muddy Creek Unit Agreement or the Plan of Development then in
effect for the Muddy Creek Unit. If Burlington makes a timely written notice to
drill the well, then Burlington shall thereafter be contractually bound to drill
the well. If Burlington sends a written notice that it does not elect to drill
the well, or if no written notice is timely received by Participants, then
Burlington shall conclusively be deemed to have surrendered and given up all of
its rights to drill additional Option Xxxxx under this Agreement. However, if
Burlington has a pending or approved Application for Permit to Drill and
Burlington sends a written notice that it does not elect to drill the well, or
if no written notice is timely received by Participants, then, upon written
request by Participants, Burlington will assign such permit along with a
Designation of Agent, to Participants.
Burlington's right and option to commence additional Option Xxxxx shall
conclusively terminate on December 31, 2008, or when the maximum number of
sections provided by the last paragraph of this Article 4 have been drilled,
whichever shall first occur. Burlington and Participants understand and agree
that Participants do not own all of the acreage within the Muddy Creek Unit.
From time to time Burlington may elect to drill a well on lands not owned by
Participants. To the extent that any such well satisfies a commencement date
required by the Muddy Creek Unit Agreement or Plan of Development then in effect
for the Muddy Creek Unit, Burlington shall maintain its right and option to
drill Option Xxxxx under this agreement. Burlington will pay 100% of all
drilling, completing and equipping (or plugging and reclamation) costs incurred
in connection with each Option Well drilled by Burlington hereunder.
All Option Xxxxx must be drilled in a Checkerboard Configuration, so
that if the first Option Well is drilled in an even-numbered governmental
section, every Option Well must be drilled in an even-numbered governmental
section, or if the first Option Well is drilled in an odd-numbered section, then
every Option Well must be drilled in an odd-numbered section. By drilling such
Option Xxxxx Burlington shall earn an assignment of a Lease or Interest from
Participants as hereinafter provided. Burlington may earn a Lease or Interest
from Participants under this Agreement up to an aggregate total of 20 sections.
However, Burlington may never earn Leases or Interests under this Agreement
covering more than one-half of the total sections owned by Participants in the
Muddy Creek Unit as of the date of this Agreement.
It is understood, and Participants agree Burlington may, at its option,
drill any Option Well deeper than the Xxxxx Formation.
5. INTERESTS EARNED BY BURLINGTON
When Burlington drills to its Objective Depth and completes either the
Second Unit Obligation Well or an Option Well in a section where it has not
previously earned a Lease or Interest, whether as a producer or as a dry hole,
the Participants will assign to Burlington 100% of their working interest and
operating rights below the Base of the Fort Union Formation in all Leases
covering the section in which such well was drilled, but only to the extent that
such Leases cover lands in that section. The Participants will always reserve
and retain depths from the surface to the Base of the Fort Union Formation.
Burlington will earn from the Base of the Fort Union to 100 feet below depth
drilled.
Assignments of working interest and operating rights in federal and
state leases will be made on the appropriate governmental forms. Assignments of
fee leases will be made on the form attached hereto on Exhibit "C" attached
hereto and made a part hereof. All assignments made to Burlington shall deliver
to Burlington an 80% net revenue interest, subject to proportionate reduction.
If the net revenue interest in a Lease or Interest at the date of an assignment
is greater than 80%, then the assigning Participants may reserve to themselves
an overriding royalty equal to the difference between 20% and existing burdens,
so that the delivered net revenue shall be exactly 80%.
6. UNIT FORMATION AND RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT
6.1 Unit Formation Reimbursements. Burlington shall reimburse Shama Zoe
50% of the total amount invoiced by UnitSource Incorporated for its services and
expenses in connection with the formation and approval of the Muddy Creek Unit.
Shama Zoe shall provide photocopies of all of the applicable invoices to
Burlington, and Burlington shall remit its 50% reimbursement within 30 days
after its receipt of these invoices.
6.2 Lease Rental Reimbursements. During the period that Burlington has
the right to drill Option Xxxxx under this Agreement, Burlington agrees to pay
50% of the delay rentals paid in connection with the Leases. Shama Zoe will
invoice Burlington as rentals for such Leases become due and Burlington will pay
such invoice within 30 days after its receipt of each such invoice.

proportionately reduced to the Lease or Interest acquired, by paying their 50%
share of the bonus costs associated with the acquisition of the AMI Acreage
acquired. Participants shall have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of
such notice to exercise such option by giving Burlington notice in writing.
Failure by Participants to respond within the above-specified 30-day period
shall be deemed an election by Participants not to acquire their proportionate
part of the AMI Acreage described in the said notice. Should Participants elect
to acquire its interest, such AMI Acreage shall be assigned free of any
Subsequently Created Burdens or any reservations or exceptions in excess of the
Lease Burdens provided for in the Lease or burdening such Interest on the date
such were acquired by Burlington. Assignments of working interest and operating
rights in federal and state leases will be made on the appropriate government

8.8 Plugging Xxxxx. The operator of any well shall properly plug all xxxxx
drilled by it on the Unitized Area and either not capable of or no longer
capable of producing oil or gas in as a Commercial Producer. The operator shall
restore the surface of the land around any plugged well as might be required
under any applicable lease or recorded agreement. The operator of any well shall
comply with all statutory requirements and governmental rules and regulations in
effect at the time of the plugging of any well and agrees to fully defend,
protect, indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against each and
every claim, demand or cause of action and expense or liability arising from the
operator's failure to plug or properly plug any well or restore the surface.
8.9 Standard of Performance. The operator of any well shall perform all
work under this Agreement with reasonable diligence, prudence and in a
workmanlike manner, as would a reasonable prudent operator under the same or
similar circumstances.
8.10 Substitute Xxxxx. If any well drilled under the terms of this
Agreement fails to reach its objective depth, either because of mechanical
difficulties or because the well encounters excessive water flow, loss of
circulation, excessive pressures, cavities, salt or salt dome material, heaving
shale or other practicably impenetrable conditions which would, in the opinion
of a prudent operator, render further drilling impracticable, then the operator
of such well may at its election commence actual drilling of a substitute well
at approximately the same location with the same objective depth within 30 days
after abandonment of the well being replaced and thereupon the substitute well
should be considered and treated for all purposes as though it were the well for
which it is a substitute.
8.11 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance
of all provisions of this
----------------------
Agreement.
8.12 Warranty. This Agreement is made without express or implied
warranty of any kind. The Participants make no representations or warranties
regarding the quantity, boundaries or availability of the lands in the Muddy

rights of ingress or egress to said land from or across adjacent or adjoining
lands; and Burlington hereby denies any such representation and warranties,
releases the Participants from any claim for such, and accepts the Participants'
acreage subject to this Agreement with all defects and encumbrances.
8.13 Well Access and Information. The operator of any well shall allow
the other party and their representatives full access to all xxxxx drilled on
the Unitized Area, including access to the records thereof and to the xxxxxxx
floor at their sole risk and expense, and the other party shall be provided,
within 10 business days, with samples or copies of all cores, cuttings, logs,
drilling data, testing and completing data, and all information obtained by the
operator pertaining to any well drilled hereunder, and all other well
information reports and data of the nature and within the terms specified on the
Well Data Requirements Schedule attached hereto as Exhibits "E". However, it is
hereby agreed by all parties hereto that if Shama Zoe enters into a
confidentiality agreement with Xxxxxx Xxxx and his associates for testing all or
any portion of his proprietary technology on either (a) the proprietary "FAST"
drilling system or (b) the proprietary "TALL FRAC" well stimulation/completion
system or any proprietary derivatives therefrom on any well operated by Shama
Zoe and subject to this agreement, then Shama Zoe will not be required to permit
access to such test well or to disclose to any parties hereto any confidential
proprietary information derived from such test well or to the proprietary
technology applied thereto.
8.14 Indemnification. BURLINGTON AGREES TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, PROTECT,
DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS PARTICPANTS AND THEIR PARENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS AT ANY
TIER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, INCLUDING COSTS

8.16 Force Majeure. In the event either party to this Agreement is
rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement, it is agreed that, upon such party giving
written notice and reasonably full particulars of such conditions constituting
force majeure to the other party hereto within a reasonable time after the
occurrence, then the obligation of the party giving such notice, so far as
affected by force majeure, shall be suspended during continuance of any
inability so caused, but no longer. The cause of the force majeure, so far as
possible, shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. The requirement that
any force majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not
require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty by the
party involved, contrary to its wishes; how all difficulties shall be handled
shall be entirely within the discretion of the party concerned. The term "force
majeure", as employed herein, shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other
industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, wars, riots, epidemics,
lightning, earthquakes, fires, floods or direct injunction, prohibition or
interruption by acts, order, regulations or requirements of governmental
authority.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.
