ITEM 8.01 Other Events

On January 24, 2012, the Registrant consented to the assignment of its Paid-Up Oil and Gas Lease (“Lease”), its Surface Use and Damage Agreement, and Memorandum of Surface Use and Damage Agreement (collectively “Surface Use Agreements”) each dated March 10, 2011 from Anadarko E&P Company, L.P., to Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillip Company.

The Registrant’s assignment does not amend the terms and conditions of the Lease or the Surface Use Agreements. Pursuant to the Lease, the Lessee must hold the Lease by production on or before the third anniversary of the execution of the Lease, i.e. March 10, 2014. If the Lease is not held by production by March 10, 2014, the Lessee, at its sole discretion, has the right to extend the term of the Lease for an additional two (2) years by payment of an additional bonus of approximately $1,268,000 to Registrant. In addition to the bonus fee, the Registrant will receive as a royalty, 20% of the gross proceeds (less certain taxes) from the sale of any oil and gas produced from the Registrant’s property.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Assignment of Oil & Gas Lease Request for Consent to Assign, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
