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