Strata Web Systems Ltd. / International Petrodata Limited
Business Relationship Agreement
1) OVERVIEW
Strata Web Systems Ltd. (Strata Web) is a company actively involved in developing an Internet World Wide Web site that will allow it's clients to access and retrieve data products on a per item basis from local data warehouses. Essentially, a client will access the IPL logon page at the Strata Web WWW site and be prompted to select a preferred user interface (map or text based). The user will then query the Strata Web server e.g. NW - SE geographic blocking and a well list complete with header information will be returned. A 'selection" of xxxxx of interest will be made from this list and one or more output objects e.g. well ticket, production report etc. may be requested. At this point the client will be advised of month to date and session charges and will have to approve the current transaction before it-is processed and delivered. Upon approval the raw data will be retrieved from the data warehouse, returned to the Strata Web site where it will be formatted into the appropriate output object and made available to the user by printing a report or downloading a file.
2) PRODUCTS
Strata Web will provide hard copy and digital value added data products to clients by means of an interactive World Wide Web site. Products will be provided on a one off basis and will include but not be limited to the following items:
a) Production / injection reports
b) Well ticket reports
c) AOFP reports (gas analysis and pressure data)
The above mentioned items will be available in a tabular report format or in a digital format that can be imported into third party analysis software such as GEOGRAPHIX or Merak's FORECAST.
3) IPL PARTNERSHIP
Strata Web will work synergistically with International Petrodata Limited (IPL) in the following manner:
a) IPL will be responsible for maintaining and updating the required databases as well as permitting Strata Web access to the databases via a high speed connection. IPL will also provide technical, assistance to the Strata Web programming team as required.
b) Strata Web will provide the necessary user interface hardware and software (query capability and output objects), accounting requirements (user transaction and IPL reconciliation), marketing and sales efforts, and front line support to answer client questions. The required hardware and software will reside in Strata Web's office in downtown Calgary.
c) Strata Web and IPL will jointly determine the product offering and associated pricing.
d) Revenues generated will be split with 50% going to IPL and 50% going to Strata Web.
e) Strata Web will grant IPL the "default" data warehouse position for general well, production, core analysis, gas analysis, gas pressure, and fluid (oil & water) analysis data. This means that for any user that does not have a specific preference when it comes to the source of the data being requested Strata Web will use IPL to fill that request.
4) DATA PRICING AND PAYMENTS
a) IPL and Strata Web will jointly define the product offering and associated pricing schedule. Revenues generated as a result of output objects being sold using IPL's data will be split evenly between IPL and Strata Web. Strata Web will compile reconciliation reports listing customer names and invoice numbers, gross invoice values, and amount owing to IPL per invoice. The initial report period will be three months from the effective date of this agreement and monthly thereafter. Strata Web will forward IPL's share of revenue 30 days after Strata Web receives payment from the client. The reconciliation reports may be audited by an independent third party at the request of IPL.
b) IPL and Strata Web will equally share the risk with respect to delinquent accounts.
c) IPL acknowledges that the information contained in the reconciliation reports is sensitive and confidential and agrees to employ all reasonable measures to safeguard it from unauthorized use or disclosure, and in any event, IPL shall provide the same degree of care towards the information as IPL exercises towards it's own proprietary confidential information.

4) PRODUCT PRICING & REVENUE ALLOCATION
Strata Web map interface products are produced by combining data sets from various sources. When a map is sold by Strata Web the suppliers of the data used to produce the map are allocated revenue from that sale. Remuneration to the data suppliers is on a per data type basis for each respective map seat sold.
The Strata Web map interface products and the data reports accessible through the map products are priced independently of one another and may be purchased by clients independently of one another. As a result, the map and data products listed in Section 2 of this Agreement may be obtained through a combination of purchase options including transactional, annual term, and fixed fee pricing depending on client preference. The purchase option selected by clients will have an impact on the revenue allocations to Strata Web, IPL, and GDM. The following discussion highlights the purchase options and revenue allocations.
a) Map purchased transactionally, reports purchased transactionally
There is $30.00 / month per map seat allocated to GDM and IPL with 60% ($18.00) payable to GDM and 40% ($12.00) payable to IPL. Revenue generated through the sale of PL-100 & Facility reports will be allocated as follows: Strata Web - 50%, GDM - 30% and IPL - 20%. Strata Web reserves the right to apply multiple seat discounts to the map interface products and the discounts will applied proportionately to all map layer data revenue.
b) Map purchased on annual term, reports purchased transactionally
There is $30.00 / month per map seat allocated to GDM and IPL with 60% ($18.00) payable to GDM and 40% ($12.00) payable to IPL. Revenue generated through the sale of PL-100 & Facility reports will be allocated as follows: Strata Web - 50%, GDM - 30% and IPL - 20%. Strata Web reserves the right to apply multiple seat discounts to the map interface products and the discounts will applied proportionately to all map layer data revenue.
c) Map & reports purchased on a fixed fee for unlimited usage basis (annual term)

The client also pays a fixed fee for data usage (as detailed on the GDM Canex Pipeline and Facilities Data Price Schedule) to IPL for access to the pipeline and facility data. Strata Web is not allocated a share of the data revenue, and, conversely IPL and GDM are not allocated a share of the software revenue. Specifically, the $30.00 per map data layer revenue and the revenue allocation for sales of PL-100 and Facility reports does not exist in this scenario. Strata Web will collect and forward the data revenue to IPL or IPL may invoice the client directly, based on the preference of IPL.
All revenues forwarded to IPL and GDM by Strata Web will be GST inclusive.
