WHEREAS, PONTA has committed to assign HORIZON a 50% working interest (37.5% NRI) “Before Payout” in the 75% net revenue 82.89 ac. HOU; and, a 25% working interest (18.75% NRI) “After Payout” in the 75% NRI 82.89 ac. HOU from the surface to the base of the Pettet Formation held by PONTA;

 

WHEREAS, PONTA and HORIZON have entered into this Letter Agreement and a Joint Operating Agreement (“JOA”) is attached and with execution by all parties will govern their relationship concerning the 82.89 acre HOU leases; and

 

THEREFORE, it is the intent of PONTA and HORIZON to have all parties execute this Letter Agreement and Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) and become governed by the terms and provisions.

 

WITNESSETH

 

1.          The JOA attached as Exhibit “B” to this Letter Agreement and this executed Letter Agreement shall be construed together as one instrument and upon final election and terms acceptable to all parties will be executed in order to carry out proposed operations on the 82.89 acre HOU held by PONTA.

 

2.          In addition to outlining operational obligations, the JOA shall also control the financial obligations of the parties hereto and the penalties for failure to meet any cash calls. As to the division of ownership of those interests fully earned under this Letter Agreement and JOA in the 75% NRI of the HOU 82.89 acres by the parties hereto, this Letter Agreement shall control. Furthermore this Letter Agreement shall control the division of ownership of those interests fully earned under the JOA which shall commence with PONTA having a 50% working interest (37.5% NRI) “Before Payout” in the 75% NRI 82.89 ac HOU and 75% working interest (56.25% NRI) “After Payout”; and HORIZON shall have a 50% working interest (37.5% NRI) “Before Payout” in the 75% net revenue 82.89 ac HOU and 25% working interest (18.75% NRI) “After Payout” assigned until Payout of HORIZON’S ONE HUNDERD THOUSAND ($100,000) DOLLARS plus their 50% contribution to the insurance costs is reached as that term is defined below, the ownership interests of the parties to this Agreement shall automatically convert to the 75% working interest (56.25% NRI) in favor of PONTA “After Payout” and 25% working interest (18.75% NRI) in favor of HORIZON when payout occurs.

 

 
 

 

3.     Payout shall be deemed to have occurred when the producing well has generated revenue sufficient to cover the turnkey completion cost of US$ 100,000, less any lease operating expenses (“LOE”), insurance costs, severance taxes, ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, royalty and overriding royalty payments attributable to the said HOU well. Any other taxes such as income taxes or franchise taxes shall not be considered in calculating payout The accounting for the calculation of payout will be conducted by PONTA at its office and a monthly statement will be generated and sent to HORIZON as non-operator. Lease operating expenses will be split evenly by the partners on a 50% basis until payout and then revert to 75% Ponta and 25% HORIZON. The normal monthly lease operating expenses include $450/month for pumper’s fee and $600/month for accounting and administration. During the course of normal operations, a workover of the well has to be performed occasionally and will be billed to the partners based on their working interest The normal cycle for workover operations for wells in the Pettet Formation in this area is about every 1.5 years in order to clean paraffin out of the tubing. This workover operation usually costs about $20,000 or $1,100/month added to the LOE. Additionally, insurance costs will be split on a 50% basis between PONTA and HORIZON and HORIZON’s share will be added to the base payout amount of $100,000.

 

4.     In order to earn a 50% working interest (37.5% NRI) “Before Payout” in the 75% net revenue 82.89 ac HOU and 25% working interest (18.75% NRI) “After Payout” held by PONTA, HORIZON has agreed to the following workover operations based on a maximum financial commitment of US$ 100,000 plus 50% of insurance costs and normal operations, stipulated in the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) that is Exhibit “B” including the joint accounting document (COPAS) attached as Exhibit “C” and AFE attached as Exhibit “H”:

 

a.) Frac the Holmes Unit #1 well in the Lower Pettet Transition Zone. HORIZON will fund the workover operations and testing of the zone of interest for a Turnkey Cost of US$ 100,000 plus its 50% share of insurance costs. Ponta will fund any amount over the $100,000 plus its 50% share of insurance costs. HORIZON shall also earn its proportionate share of equipment that is part of the HOU property including a pumping unit, tanks, and separators.

 

5.     Term. This Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII Option 1 of the JOA.

 

6.     Binding Upon Heirs, Personal Representatives, Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the parties to this Agreement.

 

7.     Entire Agreement. This Letter Agreement and the JOA set forth the entire agreement by and between PONTA and HORIZON.

 

8.     GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SHALL GOVERN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

9.     Relationship. It is not intended, and this agreement shall not be construed to create or perpetuate a partnership, joint venture, mining partnership or association of any kind between the parties.
