Re:
Post Closing Properties/Title Defect Notice

Dear Walt:

Reference is made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 18, 2009 and effective as of December 1, 2009 by and between RCWI, L.P. (“Buyer”) and Azalea Properties, Ltd. (“Seller”) providing for the purchase by Buyer of certain assets of Seller (the “PSA”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the PSA.

This Letter Agreement (“Letter”) shall set forth the understanding of Buyer and Seller with regard to the purchase and sale of those properties set forth on Exhibit A hereto (individually a “Post Closing Property” and collectively the “Post Closing Properties”)

By their execution hereof, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

1.           The definition of “Interests” in the PSA being purchased by Buyer at Closing shall be amended to exclude the Post Closing Properties and the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Seller at Closing shall be adjusted downward by the amount of $1,414,826.00, representing the allocated value attributable to the Post Closing Properties.

2.           Commencing on the Closing Date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter (the “Cure Period”), Seller shall not, directly or indirectly solicit, enter into or conduct discussions relating to, initiate or knowingly encourage any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest in the Post Closing Properties, to any third party.
   
3.           During the Cure Period Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure the title defects existing on the Post Closing Properties as specifically set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Title Defects”). Within five (5) days following receipt by Buyer of evidence reasonably acceptable to Buyer that a Title Defect has been cured,
 
 

 
 
together with such other evidence as Buyer may request in its reasonable discretion, Buyer shall purchase and Seller shall sell the Post Closing Property for which all Title Defects have been cured for a purchase price which equals the allocated value of said Post Closing Property set forth on Exhibit A. In the event that some, but not all of the Title Defects have been cured by the expiration of the Cure Period, Buyer may (a) purchase the remaining Post Closing Properties (which have not previously been purchased during the Cure Period) for which the Title Defects have been cured at their allocated value set forth on Exhibit A, or (b) elect to purchase all of the remaining Post Closing Properties, pay the allocated value of the Post Closing Properties for which Title Defects have been cured and enter into negotiations with Seller to adjust the purchase price of the Post Closing Properties for which Title Defects have not been cured. If the options set forth in (a) or (b) are not exercised by the Parties, or Buyer and Seller cannot in good faith agree on a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Buyer’s option in (b) immediately above, either Buyer or Seller may elect to terminate this Letter and the Parties shall have no further obligations hereunder.
 
4.           In the event Buyer purchases the Post Closing Properties, Buyer and Seller shall execute Assignments in same the form executed by Buyer and Seller at Closing.
 
5.           In the event Buyer purchases the Post Closing Properties pursuant to this Letter, the Effective Date of the purchase shall be as set forth in the PSA and all other terms set forth in the PSA shall apply to the purchase and sale of the Post Closing Properties.

Dear Madam and Sirs:

Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 18, 2009 (“PSA”), executed by RCWI, L.P. (“RCWI”) and Azalea Properties, Ltd. (“Azalea”), RCWI and Azalea agreed that RCWI would notify Azalea of certain matters affecting the value of the Interests as that term is defined in the PSA. This letter shall serve as your formal notification under Article V of the PSA. (All capitalized terms, not defined in this notification, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the PSA.)

1.           Article 5.05: The following are the Title Defects which render the title to an Interest as less than Marketable Title.

a.           There is a break in Azalea’s chain of title to the Wiley Glennburn Unit caused by the absence of a deed between Great Plains Royalty Corp. to Earl Schwartz Company, two of the predecessors in title to Azalea. The Title Defect Amount attributable to this Title Defect is $98,130.

b.           There is no conveyance to Azalea from Woodson Oil & Gas, L.P. of the following properties:
 
Property:
 
Title Defect Amount:
 
Skinner Unit 30-10 #1, Choctaw County, Alabama
  $ 344,467

  $ 103,590

  $ 71,660  

d.           There is no assignment to Azalea from Nowitzki Oil and Gas, L.P. of the following properties:

Property:
 
Title Defect Amount:
 
Collins East Upper CV Unit, Covington County Mississippi
  $ 155,932

  $ 11,994  
Garrett #1-1, Covington County, Mississippi
  $ 4,565

  $ 1,852  
Turner 1-34, Woodward County, Oklahoma
  $ 125,478  
Haskell #1-4 1-4, Woodward County, Oklahoma
  $ 587  

e.
The following mortgages burden the Interests:
See Exhibit A
 
2.           Article 5.06(a): Azalea and Reef have agreed to resolve any matters pertain to Article 5.06(a) under the terms of a separate letter agreement to be executed by both parties.
 
3.           Article 5.06(b): There are preferential rights to purchase which burden the following properties:
 
Property:
     
Operator:
a.            Bonanza,
 
Terry County, Texas
 
Dinero
b.            Unidentified
 
Grady County, Oklahoma
 
Marshall Oil Corp.

 
 

 

You have notified us of the exercise of the preferential rights on the Bryan’s Mill Unit PF Record 1-1 property, the Della Colvin 1-18, the Della Colvin 31-8 and the Steffan Harvey 2. This letter confirms that we have agreed to remove those properties from the sale.

The Mortgages listed on Exhibit A are treated in this letter as Title Defects, but we have assigned no Title Defect Amount to any of said encumbrances because we have not been provided with the balances due, and Azalea has agreed to convey the Interests free of all such burdens and encumbrances at Closing.

Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters, and let us know what we can do to perfect title in Azalea.

Yours truly,

/s/ H. Walt Dunagin

RCWI, L.P.
