Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on March 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement (the "Range Agreement"), and associated Joint Operating Agreement, with Range Texas Production, LLC ("Range"), a subsidiary of Range Resources Corporation, under which the Company agreed to acquire a 75% working interest from Range in certain leases located in Grimes Country, Texas (the "Leases"). Pursuant to the terms of the Range Agreement, Range retained a 25% working interest in the Leases and the Company committed to drill a well (the "Commitment Well"). The Company recently ceased drilling at the Commitment Well, and effective January 16, 2013, the Company and Range entered into an Amendment No. 5 to the Range Agreement (the "Amendment"), pursuant to which the Range Agreement was amended as follows:

· The Company has 180 days from January 16, 2013 to commence drilling of a substitute well for the Commitment Well (the "Substitute Well") and 60 days from January 16, 2013 to commence re-completion operations at the Commitment Well (the "Re-entry Well") in a bona fide attempt to complete the Re-entry Well as a vertical well;

· If the Company fails to (i) meet either of the above deadlines and (ii) initiate sales of oil and/or gas from the Substitute Well by September 1, 2013, it must assign a 25% working interest in the Leases to Range, resulting in the Company retaining a 50% working interest in the Leases and transfer operatorship in the Leases to Range;

· Range will have the option to participate in the Substitute Well, which must be exercised within 15 days of its receipt of written notice that sales of oil and/or gas from the Substitute Well have been initiated;

· If Range exercises the option to participate in the Substitute Well, Range will then reimburse the Company for 25% of (i) the expenditures incurred at the Substitute Well to such date and (ii) Lease extension costs and will then share all future costs in proportion to its 25% participating interest;

· If Range does not exercise the option, then Range will assign back to the Company its 25% working interest in the Substitute Well and the Company will not be reimbursed for 25% of the expenditures incurred at the Substitute Well or Lease extensions; and

· Irrespective of the election, the Company will bear 100% of the costs of the Commitment Well and Re-entry Well.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, the terms of which exhibit are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
