Attention:

▇▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, President

Dear Sir:

Re:

Farmout Proposal – Bolloque Prospect, Province of Alberta

This Agreement outlines the terms upon which Salida Capital, Inc. (“Salida”) will assign and grant to Cascade Energy Inc. (“Cascade”) a farmin opportunity on certain lands known as the “Bolloque Prospect”, located in the Province of Alberta.

Pursuant to an agreement (the “Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement") dated the 16^th day of February, 2005, between Moraine Resources Ltd. (referred to herein as the “Original Farmor”) and ▇▇▇▇ Resources Ltd. (“▇▇▇▇”), ▇▇▇▇ can earn an interest in certain title documents and the lands associated therewith (all as more particularly described in Schedule “A” of the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement) by performing the obligations contained in the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement.

Pursuant to a subsequent agreement (the “▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement") dated the 14^th day of March, 2005, between ▇▇▇▇ and Salida, Salida can earn 100% of the interests that ▇▇▇▇ can otherwise earn under the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement (subject to the 3% Gross Overriding Royalty reserved unto ▇▇▇▇ by the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement) by performing the obligations contained in the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement. A true copy of the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement (which has a true copy of the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement attached thereto as a schedule) is attached hereto as Appendix “A”.

A previous party was unable to fund its contractual obligations to Salida respecting the development of the Bolloque Prospect and the same is now available for third party participation. Therefore, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions hereof, Salida will grant to Cascade the right to earn 49% of the interests that Salida can otherwise earn under the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement.

1.	Interpretation
	(a)	The headings of the clauses of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction thereof.

(b)	The terms and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to such terms and expressions in the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement and the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement, as the case may be.

(c)	Wherever the plural or masculine or neuter is used the same shall be construed as meaning singular or feminine or body politic or corporate, or vice versa as the context so requires.

2.	Appointment of Operator

Salida is appointed Operator, as between Salida and Cascade, with respect to all operations conducted hereunder.

3.	▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement

Except as modified by the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement shall control the operation of the parties and shall be deemed to be incorporated herein.

4.	Trust Conditions and Term

Salida agrees that, to the extent that the assignment to Cascade of Salida’s rights and obligations under the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement is not formally recognized and recorded by ▇▇▇▇ or the Original Farmor, as the case may be, Salida shall hold Cascade’s interests in the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement, Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement, and Farmout Lands and Option Lands, as the case may be, in trust for Cascade and shall ensure that all performance by Cascade under the terms of this Agreement, as assignee of the obligations of Salida under the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement, is noted, recorded and properly credited. If requested by the Cascade, Salida agrees to record this trust in writing pursuant to a suitable form of trust agreement until such time as the interests of Cascade in the Farmout Lands may be formally recorded.

5.	Participating Interest

Without limitation, Cascade shall assume all of the obligations of Salida under the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement, including the drilling of the Test Well contemplated by paragraph 4 of the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement. In addition, Cascade shall drill a minimum of two (2) additional Option ▇▇▇▇▇ (as and within the time periods contemplated by paragraph 5 of the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement, as amended).

Cascade shall thereby be entitled to 49% of the benefits and interests earned by the Salida under the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement.

6.	Selection of Well Locations

The parties agree to discuss, from time to time, ongoing operations under this Agreement, including selection of well locations. Notwithstanding such discussions, should the parties fail to agree on the location of a well then Salida’s choice shall be binding upon the parties.

7.	Grants and Credits

Any credits or grants allowed under any acts, rules, regulations or other laws of the Province of Alberta and/or Canada shall be allocated 49% to Cascade and 51% to Salida.

8.	Assignment by Cascade

Cascade shall not assign its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part without first obtaining the written consent of Salida. Notwithstanding any assignment by the Cascade, Salida will remain entitled to look to Cascade for performance of any duties and obligations required to be carried out by it under this Agreement during the earning phase of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Salida.

9.	Other Encumbrances

If the interest of either party in the Farmout Lands shall hereafter become encumbered by any royalty, production payment or other charge of a similar nature, other than the royalties as set forth under the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement or ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement, such royalty, production payment or other charge shall be charged to and paid entirely by the party whose interest is or becomes thus encumbered.

10.	Warranty of Title

Salida makes no representation or warranties as to the status of title to the Farmout Lands and such title must be independently verified by Cascade.

During the term of this Agreement, no party shall do or cause to be done any act nor make or cause to be made any omission whereby the Farmout Lands become encumbered in such a way as to adversely affect the interests of the other parties, or become subject to termination or forfeiture.

11.	No Partnership

The rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties shall be several and not joint or collective, it being the parties' express purpose and intention that nothing herein shall be construed as creating a partnership of any kind or imposing upon any party hereto any

partnership duty, obligation or liability to the other party other than as specifically set forth herein.

12.	Notice Periods

The parties will endeavor on a bona-fide basis to meet at least ten (10) days prior to the date when either any election must be made or any notice must be made pursuant to the underlying agreements, for the purposes of discussing such election or notice in order to enable Salida, as required, on behalf of the parties, to comply with the provisions of the ▇▇▇▇ Participation Agreement and ▇▇▇▇ to comply with the provisions of the Bolloque Seismic Option Agreement, as the case may be.

13.	Further Assurance

Each of the parties shall at all times do all such further acts and deliver all such further deeds and documents as shall be reasonably required in order to fully perform and carry out the terms of this Agreement.
