Re:
North
Xxxx Prospect Letter Agreement
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Parish, Louisiana
Dear
Xx.
Xxxxx:
When
executed, this letter will represent an agreement by and between Jordan Oil
Company, Inc. (“Jordan”) and Affiliated Holdings, Inc. (“Affiliated”) and set
forth the terms and conditions under which Affiliated agrees to participate
in
the North Xxxx Prospect, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Parish, Louisiana (“Prospect”) being
the area within the bold outline shown on the map attached hereto. The following
are the terms covering the Prospect area, to-wit:
a) |
Jordan
agrees to assign to Affiliated an undivided forty percent (40%) 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%)
for
all leases acquired within the Prospect AMI. Jordan has not yet
consummated the lease covering the eastern ninety-five (95) acres of
the
Prospect’s eastern feature which will need to be acquired prior to the
drilling of a second well. Jordan will exercise its best efforts in
delivering seventy four percent net revenue leases to the tract; however,
in no event shall Jordan’s ORRI in any lease be less than four percent
(4%). 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 forty percent (40%) share of all actual land and geological
costs. These costs are estimated to be $130,000 to date; therefore,
Affiliated’s share would be $52,000.00. Affiliated will forward said
payment to Jordan within 5 days of signing this letter agreement. Should
the actual land, geological and geophysical costs exceed $130,000.00,
Jordan will xxxx UNICORP for its additional share of these costs.
|
3) |
Affiliated
shall bear forty percent (40%) of the cost associated with drilling
the
first well on the Prospect through the tanks. However; should the initial
well’s actual cost exceed the cost shown on the final approved AFE, then
Affiliated shall bear forty percent (40%) of the actual drilling costs
that are in excess of the approved AFE Cost and shall bear forty percent
(40%) of all costs associated with the initial test well and forty
percent
(40%) of all other costs associated with the Prospect, pursuant to
the
terms of an Operating Agreement, to be executed by all parties. 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
will retain a twelve and one-half percent reversionary interest in
the
Prospect convertible after payment of each well on a well by well basis,
limited however to the first two xxxxx
only.
|
6) |
Jordan
and Affiliated agree that they will execute a mutually acceptable 1989
form Joint Operating Agreement (“JOA”) with an AMI covering the area of
interest and delineated by a plat attached to the Confidentiality
Agreement attached as Exhibit “A”.
|
7) |
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, June 3,
2005.
Very
truly yours,
