Re: |
Option to Purchase Interests in |
|
|
Oil and Natural Gas Properties |
|
|
|
This letter confirms our understanding regarding my recent purchase of certain oil and natural gas interests located in King and Lipscomb Counties, Texas and Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Major, Pottawatomie, and Xxxxxxxx Counties, Oklahoma, which are more specifically described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Properties"). The Properties were initially offered for sale to Trek Resources, Inc. (the "Company"). However, the Company did not have adequate capital resources to purchase the Properties. |
|
In light of the Company's financial condition, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized me to personally proceed with the acquisition of the Properties at a meeting duly held on March 28, 2002. The Board's approval of my personal acquisition of the Properties was made with the understanding that I would sell the Properties to the Company at the same net price I paid for the Properties (plus my out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such purchase) if the Company was able to arrange adequate capital resources within 120 days from the date that I purchased the Properties. I completed the acquisition of the Properties on April 11, 2002. I have previously provided you with copies of the documentation evidencing my purchase of the Properties, including evidence of my payment of any post-closing purchase price adjustments and my out-of-pocket expenses associated with the purchase. |
|
Accordingly, I hereby grant the Company an option to purchase the Properties from me at any time before August 9, 2002 (the "Termination Date") for $1,025,000, less the gross proceeds of production from the Properties, net to my interest, plus interest on the $1,025,000 at the prime rate of interest (as quoted in the "Money Rates" section of the Wall Street Journal) + 1%, for the period of April 1, 2002 through the effective date of the Company's purchase of the Properties from me (as adjusted, the "Consideration"). In order to exercise this option, the Company must deliver a written election to purchase the Properties to me on or before the Termination Date. |
|
The Consideration may be paid in cash, shares of the Company's capital stock, or a combination of both. In the event that the Company elects to issue its common stock as Consideration, it would be valued at the average trading price per share for the Company's common stock as quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board system maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers for the twenty trading days immediately before the date of this letter. If the Company issues shares of preferred stock as Consideration, it would be valued at a price per share established in good faith by the Board. |
|
Please sign this letter in the space indicated below to evidence your agreement to the matters set forth herein. This letter agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Texas, and may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. |

Very truly yours, |
