In the event the Company does not finish the 3D Survey on or before May 1, 2013, the Farmout Contract and the rights and options granted therein automatically terminates. In consideration of the Permit, the Company agreed to deliver to Anadarko, at the Company’s expense, a copy of the results of the data acquired in connection with the entire 3D survey the Company conducts. Additionally, the Company agreed to make a commitment to drill a test well at a location of its choice on the Contract Acreage on or before August 1, 2013.
