Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On April 21, 2011, we entered into a participation agreement (“Participation Agreement”) with Slawson Exploration Company (“Slawson”) and U.S. Energy Development Corporation (”USE”, Slawson and USE, together, the “Parties”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, Slawson and USE acquired 45% and 30% respectively of the Company’s 10,000 acre Nemaha Ridge prospect located in Logan County, OK for gross consideration of $4,875,000. The Parties have a 60 day period from the signing of the Participation Agreement to conduct further due diligence and to confirm the acreage assigned.  In addition, the Parties shall carry Osage for 10% of the cost of the first three horizontal Mississippian wells.  Slawson will be the operator of all wells in the Nemaha Ridge Prospect. Revenue from wells drilled pursuant to the Participation Agreement shall be allocated 45% to Slawson, 30% to USE and 25% to Osage.

We used the net proceeds from the above transaction to retire (i) the $500,000 secured promissory note, issued on January 24, 2011, (ii) the $200,000 secured promissory note issued on April 6, 2011 and (iii) all accrued interest due on the $500,000 secured promissory note.
