WHEREAS:
A. Southern Star, Subco, Big Sky, Xxxxxxx, Mutter and Xxxxxxxx (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into a Restructuring Agreement dated November 6, 2006 (the “Restructuring Agreement”), whereby, among other things, Big Sky assigned all right, title and interest to Subco of a 40% working interest (the “Assignment”) to certain oil and gas leases covering minerals underlying lands in Bossier Parish and Caddo Parish, Louisiana, commonly known as the D Duck Prospect (the “Prospect”) as more specifically set out in a Prospect Acquisition Agreement dated October 10, 2006, between Dynamic Resources Corporation and Big Sky (the “Prospect Agreement”);
B. Prior to the Assignment, Big Sky held a 20% interest in the Prospect, which interest was acquired by Big Sky pursuant to the terms of the Prospect Agreement;
C. The parties to the Restructuring Agreement acknowledge that the reference to the 40% interest in the Prospect as set out in recital D to the Restructuring Agreement is an error, and that the Parties originally intended that Big Sky would transfer all of its 20% interest in the Prospect to Subco upon the closing of the Restructuring Agreement; and
D. The parties to the Restructuring Agreement wish to enter into this Agreement to amend the terms of the Restructuring Agreement to correct the error and clarify that Big Sky assigned all of its 20% interest in the Prospect, not a 40% interest as was stated in the Restructuring Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that in consideration of covenants and agreements set forth herein and of the sum of $1.00 paid by each of the Parties to the other, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree each with the other as follows:
1. |
AMENDMENT TO RECITAL D |
1.1 Recital D of the Restructuring Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Recital D in its entirety and by substituting the following:
