subject to surface access and all regulatory approvals, commence the drilling of
a test well (the “First

2.3 |
The
farmee shall have the option to drill additional xxxxx on previously
unearned lands on a rolling option basis to earn the same as the first
farmin Test Well. The farmee may elect to drill additional xxxxx within 90
days of rig release of the first farmin Test Well. It shall spud the
option well within 45 days of its election to do so, subject to surface

3. Interest
Earned
3.1 |
Provided
Frontier has fulfilled its obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement,
Frontier will, subject to Article 3.00 of the Farmout and Royalty

Ltd.’s working interest in the Farmin Lands, identified in Schedule “A”
Part 1. In exchange for the above, 1097885 Alberta Ltd. shall retain a 15%
Gross Overriding Royalty (XXXX) with a right of conversion of the XXXX in
part or in whole at a rate of 1% XXXX to 3% Working Interest (WI) on all

days written notice, after payout, as described in Article 6.00 of the
Farmout and Royalty Procedure shown in Schedule “B”, Part
1:. |

for
the Nisku formation: a 15% XXXX times the working interest percent
negotiated for the said lands and be convertible to a working interest on
a 1 XXXX to 3 WI basis, if so elected by 1097885 Alberta Ltd. (example:
say Frontier/Angels negotiates a 50% WI then the XXXX assigned to 1097885
Alberta Ltd. would be 15% * 50% = 7.50% XXXX convertible to a working
interest of 3/1*7.50% = 22.50%WI), and |
- 2
-
2. |
for
any formation up-hole of the Nisku: 50% of the XXXX/WI calculated in
Article 3.2.1. |
3.3 In the

any non-refundable benefits received shall be shared with 1097885 Alberta Ltd.
on the same basis as the XXXX, 15% of said benefit.
