4.7 EXPIRATION. Upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, or
any extension or renewal thereof.
4.8 TERMINATION ON CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon a Change of Control as
defined in subsection 5.5.4 below.
5. CURRENT COMPENSATION
5.1 CONSULTING FEE. For all services in excess of forty (40) hours per
calendar month rendered by Consultant under this Agreement, the Company shall
pay or cause to be paid to Consultant, and Consultant shall accept, an amount of
$95.00 per hour, such amount being referred to hereinafter as the "Consulting
Fee."
5.2 LOCATION FEE. In addition to the Consulting Fee, Consultant shall
receive a
Page 3 of 12
fee for each well both drilled in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana
and drilled on either undrilled Company-owned properties as of the date of this
Agreement or undrilled properties acquired by the Company subsequent to the date
of this Agreement, such amount being referred to hereinafter as the "Location
Fee." The Location Fee for each well shall be determined by multiplying $5,000
by the working interest of the Company in such well at the time it is drilled
and shall be paid to Consultant on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the
calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such well is
spudded.
5.3 OVER-RIDING ROYALTY. During the Term and including any extensions
hereof and subject to the limitations herein, Consultant shall be entiltled to
receive an assignment of a over-riding royalty interest ("ORRI") in oil and gas
production from all non-producing properties in the Powder River Basin leased,
purchased or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Company. For
purposes of this section 5.3, the term "properties" shall mean all oil and gas
leases and for lands acquired by the Company as provided immediately above,
except that Consultant shall have no right to receive an ORRI on any production
from existing wellbores which, at the time of acquisition, either are producing
or are drilled and being prepared for production. The actual amount of the ORRI
payable to Consultant shall be determined in the following two steps:
(1) First, the base royalty shall be determined by subtracting 78% from
the total percentage net revenue interests held by all the working interest
owners in the subject properties prior to assigning the ORRI, provided that the
base royalty may not exceed 2%; and
(2) multiplying the base royalty by the actual percentage working
interest of the Company in the subject properties at the time of the assignment
of the ORRI to Consultant.
Such assignment shall be in a form acceptable to Consultant's attorney
and shall be made as promptly as is reasonable after such properties are
acquired. For purposes of calculating the dollar amounts of ORRI payable
hereunder, oil and gas production shall be priced each month at the actual sales
price determined on the actual volume of such oil and/or gas produced at the
wellhead during such month. It is understood that the Consultant or his
representative will be given full access to the files and records of the
Company, after and during the Term hereof, to allow Consultant or his
representative to evaluate and verify the accuracy of the amounts paid to him
hereunder and to determine the future value of the properties. Such files shall
include but not to be limited to third party reserve/engineering reports,
production data, well files, well logs, seismic data, and accounting records.
For purposes of section 5.2 and 5.3, the term "Company" shall include the
Company, its parent Galaxy Energy Corporation and any and all subsidiaries and
affiliates of the
Page 4 of 12
Company.
In addition, any interests in Company owned or acquired properties directly or
indirectly owned by Horizon Exploitation, Inc. or any affiliate or successor
thereof shall be deemed for purposes of sections 5.2 and 5.3 to be held by the
Company. The obligation of the
Company to assign to Consultant ORRI's shall sometimes continue after
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.5 below.
5.3 PAYMENTS OF CONSULTING FEES AND EXPENSES. The payment of
Consultant's Consulting Fee and expenses shall be paid within thirty (30) days
of invoice. All payments are not subject to the customary withholding tax and
other employment taxes as required with respect to compensation paid to an
employee.
5.5 PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION ON TERMINATION.
5.5.1 Upon termination of Consultant's services prior to the
expiration of this Agreement, if such termination is pursuant to Section 4.1,
4.6, or 4.7 hereof, Consultant shall be entitled to his Consulting Fees and
Location Fees earned but unpaid through the date of termination of agreement,
payable on the date of termination. In addition, Consultant shall be entitled to
have ORRI's assigned to him in accordance with section 5.3 and Location Fees
paid in accordance with Section 5.2 for a period of one calendar year from the
effective date of such termination.
5.5.2 Upon termination of Consultant's agreement prior to the
expiration of this Agreement, if such termination is pursuant to Section 4.3 or
4.5 hereof, Consultant shall be entitled only to any Consulting Fees, Location
Fees and Orrin's under Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 earned but unpaid or assigned
through the date of termination.
5.5.3 In the event that Consultant is terminated pursuant to
section 4.4 or is terminated following a Change of Control (as hereafter
defined), Consultant shall be entitled to any Consulting Fee earned but unpaid
through the date of termination of this contract, payable on the date of
termination. Upon termination as a result of a Change of Control, Consultant
shall also be entitled to be paid Location Fees under section 5.2 and assigned
ORRI's under section 5.3 through the remaining Term hereof and, in the case of
termination following a Charge of Control, for a period of one year after
conclusion of the Term hereof.
5.5.4 For all purposes of this Agreement, a "change of
control" shall mean and shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) there shall be
consummated (X) any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation or entity and as a result of such consolidation or merger less than
50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting,
corporation or entity shall be owned, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate
by the stockholders of the Company, other than "affiliates," as defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of any party
to such
Page 5 of 12
consolidation or merger, as the same shall have existed immediately prior to
such consolidation or merger, or (Y) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
(or in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company; (ii) the stockholders of the
Company shall have approved any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; (iii) any "person" (as such term is used in the
Section 13(d) and 14(d) (2) of the Exchange Act) shall have become the
beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
50% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, without the prior
approval of the Board; (iv) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the entire Board of
Directors shall have ceased for any reason to constitute a majority thereof
unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders, of each new Director was approved by vote of at least two-thirds
of the Directors then still in office who were Directors at the beginning of the
period; (v) a change of control of a nature that would be required to be
reported in response to item 6( e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated
under the Exchange Act shall have occurred; or (vi) any consolidation or merger
of the Company with another corporation or entity and as a result of such
consolidation or merger Consultant is not retained by the Board of Directors as
the Chairman of the Board and Strategic Consultant (a "Change of Control").
6. DETERMINATION OF DISABILITY
In the event Consultant's disability, as defined in Section 4.6, is in
question, and after written request by the Company, Consultant refuses to be
examined by his regularly attending physician or if the regularly attending
physician fails to submit a report within 30 days after the examination has been
requested by the Company, the determination of disability shall be made by the
Company.
7. EXPENSES
Consultant shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with Consultant's performance of his duties hereunder and travel
expenses incurred at the direction of the Company, including among others
attendance of business meetings and promotion of Company business upon
presentation by Consultant to the Company of an expense report and adequate
records or other documentation substantiating the expenditures. Any such amounts
disallowed, as a business expense for federal or state income tax purposes,
shall be deemed additional salary to Consultant. The fact that the Company may
not reimburse Consultant for an expense is not an indication that the Company
determined that the expense was not incurred on its behalf or in connection with
the Company's business.
8. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
8.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Consultant acknowledges that in his
services hereunder he occupies a position of trust and confidence. During the
Term, and thereafter
Page 6 of 12
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Consultant shall not,
except as may be required to perform his duties hereunder as required by
applicable law, and except for information which is or becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach by Consultant of the provisions
hereof, disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any
Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" shall mean information
about the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective
suppliers, clients and customers that is not disclosed by the Company for
financial reporting purposes and that was learned by Consultant in the course of
this agreement hereunder, including (without limitation) proprietary knowledge,
trade secrets, market research, data, formulae, information and supplier, client
and customer lists and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer
records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information. Consultant
agrees to deliver or return to the Company, at the Company's request at any time
or upon termination or expiration of this agreement, or as soon thereafter as
possible, all documents, computer tapes and disks, records, lists, data,
drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof)
furnished by the Company or any of its subsidiaries affiliates or prepared by
Consultant during the Term of this agreement by the Company. The obligations
hereof shall not apply to any information that is or becomes public or in the
public domain by action of the Company or through no fault of Consultant.
8.2 BUSINESS DIVERSION. During the Term and for one full year
thereafter, Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt
to influence customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to divert their business to any competitor of the Company, to the
exclusion of the Company. However, Consultant may contract with the same
customers and suppliers after the Term hereof so long as it is not to the
exclusion of the Company's relationships with such customers and suppliers.
8.3 NON-SOLICITATION. Consultant recognizes that he will possess
confidential information about other employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates relating to, among other things, their education,
experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and interpersonal
relationships with suppliers and customers of the Company. Consultant recognizes
that the information he will possess about these other employees is not
generally known, is of substantial value to the Company, and will be acquired by
him because of his business position with the Company. Consultant agrees that,
during the Term and for one full year thereafter, he will not, directly or
indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company, its subsidiaries or
affiliates for the purpose of being employed by him or by any other person on
whose behalf he is acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he
will not convey any such confidential information or trade secrets about other
employees of the Company, including its subsidiaries or affiliates, to any other
person. However, if Consultant's employment is terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.4, nothing herein shall prevent Consultant from
soliciting or recruiting, directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company
recruited to the Company by Consultant.

8.4 BREACH OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. If Consultant breaches, or
threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this section 8 (the
"Restrictive Covenants"), the Company and its subsidiaries shall have the right
to seek the following:
8.41 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The right and remedy to have the Restrictive
Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction is
specifically agreed to by the parties hereto, it being agreed that any breach or
threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to
the Company or its subsidiaries and that money damages may not provide an
adequate remedy to the Company or its subsidiaries.
8.4.2 ACCOUNTING. The right and remedy to require Consultant
to account for and pay over to the Company or its subsidiaries, as the case may
be, all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits
derived or received by Consultant as a result of any transaction constituting a
breach of the Restrictive Covenants.
8.4.3 SEVERABILITY OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid
in geographic and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court
determines at any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby
be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid
provisions.
8.4.4 BLUE PENCILING. If any court determines that any of the
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the
duration or geographic scope or such provision, such court shall have the power
to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in
its reduced form, such provision shall not be enforceable.
8.4.5 ENFORCEABILITY OF JURISDICTIONS. The obligations in this
Section 8 shall survive the termination of Consultant's Agreement or expiration
of this Agreement and shall be fully enforceable thereafter. Consultant intends
to and hereby confers jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the
courts of any jurisdiction within the geographic scope of such Restrictive
Covenants. If the courts of anyone or more of such jurisdictions hold the
Restrictive Covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or
otherwise, it is the intention of Consultant that such determination not bar or
in any way affect the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to the relief
provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographic
scope of such Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of such Restrictive
Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as
they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse
and independent Restrictive Covenants.
