   RE:  
Participation Agreement
SLICK BEND PROSPECT(S) -
DeWitt County, Texas

 
Dear Mr. Zaziski:

When accepted by you in the manner provided below, this letter will evidence the
agreement between Southern Resource Company, A Texas Corporation, whose address
is P. O. Box 6483, Corpus Christi, Texas 78466-6483, (hereinafter called
“Seller”) and Falcon Natural Gas Corp., whose address is West Chase Center, 2500
City West Blvd., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77042, (hereinafter called
“Purchaser”) with respect to Purchaser acquiring from Seller undivided interests
in and to certain Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases to be acquired by Seller in the
area(s)as shown on the plat attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and made a part
hereof (hereinafter called “Said Leases”), and the participation by Seller and
Purchaser in the acquisition of additional Leases within the AMI, and in the
drilling of one or more wells on the AMI, in the manner hereinafter described.

I.
 
Seller has identified at least eleven (11) oil and gas prospects in the AMI
hereinafter described, the location of which is identified on Exhibit “B”
attached hereto. Said Leases cover the initial prospect area, which is outlined
in Red on Exhibit “B.”

Seller agrees to sell forty-seven percent (47%) of 8/8th working interest in
Said Leases to the Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions in Said
Leases, and the associated trade documents to which Seller must adhere, more
particularly described herein. Seller represents that there will be no depth
restrictions other than those specified in Said Leases (if any). The working
interest in Said Leases offered for sale herein shall be burdened by its
proportionate share of all royalties and overriding royalties previously
reserved by or conveyed to third parties, provided that Purchaser’s net revenue
interest in Said Leases shall be not less than its proportionate share of 75%,
unless the landowner’s royalty equals or exceeds 25%, in which case Purchaser’s
net revenue interest in Said Leases shall be not less than its proportionate
share of 73%. Furthermore, should Seller enter into a farmout agreement wherein
the farmor’s overriding royalty interest would further reduce the net revenue
interest below 73%, Purchaser will be provided with said farmout agreement for
it’s review and approval of same. Should Purchaser elect not to participate,
then the farmout agreement shall not be part of this Participation Agreement. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

II.

The parties hereto agree to commence operations for the drilling of an
exploratory well (hereinafter called “Initial Test Well”) in search of oil and
gas at a location and a depth as more fully described in this Participation
Agreement, and to conduct such operations with Seller, as Operator, in
accordance with this Agreement and the Operating Agreement described below.
Seller and Purchaser (hereinafter collectively called “Participants”) agree that
all drilling and/or other oil and gas operations (including operations in the
Initial Test Well, Substitute Well or future “Development” wells) undertaken by
them (1) on any jointly held oil and/or gas interest, including any interests
acquired pursuant to the Area of Mutual Interest (hereinafter called “AMI” and
outlined in yellow on Exhibit “B”) provisions provided for below, or (2) on
lands pooled with any such lands, shall, as among the Participants and as to
their interests, be conducted pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Operating Agreement attached hereto Exhibit “D” (The “Operating Agreement”). The
Operating Agreement shall become effective as of September 1, 2005. If there is
any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Participation Agreement
and the Operating Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
control. As each subsequent prospect area is identified and defined, a separate
Operating Agreement shall be executed, using the form attached as Exhibit “D,”
modified to reflect the parties participating therein, their respective
percentage interests and the geographical contract area covered thereby.

III.

For and in consideration of Purchaser acquiring an interest in the subject
prospect(s), Purchaser hereby agrees to the following:

1.  
Pay to Seller forty-seven percent (47%) of $70,000.00 or thirty-two thousand
nine hundred and 00/100s dollars ($32,900.00) representing Purchaser’s
proportionate share of the geological prospect(s) fee attributable to the
initial prospect area. Purchaser shall pay the prospect fee for the initial
prospect upon the signing of this Agreement. Such amount is non-refundable,
unless Seller fails, for reasons other than circumstances beyond its control, to
commence the drilling of the initial test well on the initial prospect area on
or before June 1, 2006, in which case, upon (a) the return of such prospect fee,
(b) delivery of an assignment of Purchaser’s interest in any oil and gas leases
for which it has paid, (c) refund of any lease money advanced by Purchaser and
not expended, and (d) refund of any dry-hole money paid by Purchaser (if any)
and not expended, as provided in Article V, paragraph 1, this Agreement shall be
deemed to be terminated, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further
obligation, responsibility, or recourse to each other under this Agreement;
provided that any Operating Agreement covering such prospect area shall remain
in effect in accordance with its terms, if there are oil and gas leases that are
jointly owned by the parties; and provided further that Seller shall not be
obligated to refund any prospect fee, or unexpended lease money, or to deliver
any assignment of leases to Purchaser if Purchaser fails or refuses to
participate in the drilling of the initial test well on said prospect. Within
thirty (30) days after the log of the initial test well on the initial prospect,
Purchaser shall be required to elect whether or not to continue to participate
in the acquisition of leases and payment of prospect fees for subsequent
prospects in the AMI. If Purchaser elects to continue, it shall pay to Seller
its forty-seven percent (47%) of $280,000.00 or one hundred thirty-one thousand
six hundred and 00/100s dollars ($131,600.00) representing Purchaser’s
proportionate share of the geological prospect(s) fee attributable to four
additional prospects (if obtainable); provided that if Seller notifies Purchaser
in writing that Seller has received a bona fide written offer from an unrelated
third party to participate in ten (10) additional prospects, by paying not less
than forty-seven percent (47%) of $700,000, on terms that Seller is willing to
accept, which offer shall be included in Seller’s notice to Purchaser, Purchaser
shall be required to elect whether or not to meet said offer. If Purchaser
elects not to continue (or fails to make an election, or fails to meet any such
bona fide third party offer) within said time, Purchaser shall have no right to
participate in any future development of the AMI, nor any right to a refund of
monies theretofore paid, and this agreement shall terminate; provided that
Purchaser shall retain all rights in the initial prospect area and under the
Operating Agreement applicable to that prospect area. After initial test wells
on such four additional prospects have been drilled, Purchaser shall be required
to make a further election whether or not to participate in up to six (6)
additional prospects (if obtainable), and if so, Purchaser shall be required to
pay forty-seven percent (47%) of $420,000, or one hundred ninety-seven thousand
four hundred and no/100 dollars ($197,400.00), representing Purchaser’s
proportionate share of the geological prospect fees attributable to six
additional prospects. If Purchaser elects not to continue (or fails to make an
election) within said time, Purchaser shall have no right to participate in any
future development of the AMI, nor any right to refund of monies theretofore
paid, and this agreement shall terminate; provided that Purchaser shall retain
all its rights in the prospects in which it has participated, the leases for
which it has paid its proportionate share, and all rights under the Operating
Agreements applicable to those prospects. Provided, that it shall be a condition
precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to make such elections that Seller shall
identify the next four or six prospects which it proposes to acquire and the
information available to Seller concerning the status of such areas, and Seller
agrees to use its best efforts to acquire leases and/or farmins covering such
areas on terms acceptable to the parties, if obtainable. Provided further that
Seller shall refund the prospect fee for any prospect and any unexpended lease
money advance by Purchaser that Seller does not drill within 120 days of
Purchaser’s payment of such prospect fee, if the failure to drill is for reasons
other than circumstances beyond its control, and provided further that Seller
shall not be obligated to refund any prospect fee, or unexpended lease money, or
to deliver any assignment of leases to Purchaser if Purchaser fails or refuses
to participate in the drilling of the initial test well on any such prospect.
Seller agrees to convene regular meetings of the working interest owners and
provide information to the working interest owners in an attempt to reach
consensus on the selection and ranking of prospects.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.  
Pay to Seller fifty-eight point seventy-five percent (58.75%) of the actual cost
of the oil, gas and mineral leases to be acquired along with Purchaser’s share
of the actual direct cost attributable to the oil and gas lease acquisition in
the initial prospect area which incorporates, but is not limited to, lease bonus
consideration, landmans’ fees, drafting fees, legal fees, survey fees, etc.
Seller will invoice Purchaser as leases are acquired, which invoices shall be
supported by appropriate documentation of such actual direct costs. If Purchaser
makes the elections to continue in the program pursuant to paragraph 1,
Purchaser shall pay 58.75% of the actual cost attributable to oil and gas lease
acquisition in the relevant prospects identified in such elections, which are
selected and designated as provided herein. The amounts due and payable
hereunder will be due within thirty (30) days receipt of the invoice.

 

 
3.  
Pay to Seller fifty-eight point seventy-five percent (58.75%) of the before
casing point costs attributable to the drilling of the Initial Test Well to
casing point (as hereinafter defined). Before casing point (or “Dryhole”) costs
are more particularly described in column 173 of the A.F.E. attached as Exhibit
“C”. This amount must be received within ten (10) days after notice has been
given but not more than thirty (30) days prior to commencement of operations on
the prospect for the Initial Test Well. All operations after casing point will
be on a prorata working interest basis, as set out in Exhibit “A” to the
Operating Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required
to perform hereunder nor shall Seller be liable for any cost or expense (except
its 20% after casing point share) for so long as it is prevented or delayed from
commencing or resuming normal operations that are the result from any Federal or
state law or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, any
force majeure, including but not limited to, acts of God, inclement weather,
floods, strikes, the scarcity or inability to obtain or to use equipment or
material. Should such an event as referenced herein take place and, as a result
thereof, Seller incurs any cost or expense related thereto, then the total cost
of such an occurrence or event or will be borne pro-rata by Seller and
Purchaser.

4.  
The initial test well as it pertains to each prospect contemplated by this
Agreement may be turnkeyed should the majority of working interest participants,
inclusive of Seller’s interest, elect to do so.

 
5.  
Pay to Seller forty-seven percent (47%) share of the actual costs of completing
and equipping said well, if an election is made at Casing Point by Purchaser for
a completion attempt.

6.  
Casing point, as used herein, is defined as the point at which (a) a subsurface
depth of 7,800-+ feet, or a depth sufficient to test the Wilcox Sand Formation
as seen on the electric log in the Houston Natural Gas, E.L. Boldt, et al, #2
Well located in the J. T. Tinsley Survey, Abstract 455, in DeWitt County, Texas,
at subsea (6935’) or its stratigraphic equivalent, which ever is the lesser
depth (which depth is hereinafter called the “Objective Depth”) has been
reached; and (b) first open hole electric log has been completed so as to enable
the Purchaser to evaluate the likelihood of a successful completion in the test
well’s probable producing zone.

7.  
Seller agrees, upon request of Purchaser, to establish a separate,
interest-bearing account, designated by the well name, and not commingled with
Seller’s own funds, to hold the monies advanced by Purchaser and other working
interest owners for dry-hole and/or completion costs, and to use such funds only
for purposes authorized under this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
IV.

Seller hereby agrees to assign to Purchaser an undivided forty-seven percent
(47%) of 8/8th working interest in and of Said Leases upon execution of this
Agreement and payment of Purchaser’s share of the geologic prospect fee and
leasehold acquisition costs from the initial prospect. The assignment shall be
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E,” and shall be without warranty,
express or implied, except as to claims arising by, through or under Seller. If
Purchaser elects to continue in the program as provided in Article III,
paragraph 1 above, subsequent assignments shall be made to Purchaser as
additional leases are acquired, and the costs thereof are invoiced to and paid
by Purchaser.

Seller shall provide for Purchaser’s review upon written request prior to the
spudding of the Initial Test Well (or any well completed by this Agreement),
copies of the drillsite title information, oil and gas leases, easements,
surface use agreements and any other documents or agreements relative to the
title to the Slick Bend Prospect(s) which are within the possession or control
of Seller.

Should Seller, after the date of this Agreement, obtain contractual rights to
seismic data pertaining to the Prospect Area, Seller agrees to provide
Purchaser, its representatives, heirs and assigns, with access to and the right
to review such data. However, the costs attributable to the acquisition of such
seismic data will be borne by Purchaser as to forty-seven percent (47%) of the
actual costs associated with such acquisition. It should be understood that, in
the event Purchaser does not become party to the associated licensing agreement
pertaining to such acquisition, Purchaser cannot retain or possess the seismic
tapes or original data. Seller agrees to afford Purchaser the opportunity to
become such licensee, if Purchaser so desires.

V.

Seller and Purchaser agree to the following terms for the drilling of the
Initial Test Well to test each individual Prospect contemplated by this
Agreement:

1.  
Seller has agreed, and does hereby agree, to the drilling of the Initial Test
Well to test the initial prospect contemplated by this Agreement as to
Purchaser’s interest at an approximate location mutually agreeable to the
majority working interest participation, inclusive of Seller’s interest. A
surveyed drillsite location will be provided once the survey is in the
possession of Seller. If Purchaser elects to continue in the program pursuant to
Article III, paragraph 1, as each subsequent prospect is presented to Purchaser,
Purchaser shall make its election whether or not to participate in the drilling
of an initial test well thereon, and if it does not so elect, Purchaser shall
forfeit all right, title and interest in all oil and gas lease(s) covering that
specific prospect and shall have no right to participate in the drilling or
development of such prospect; provided that Purchaser must elect to participate
in the drilling of an initial test well on the second prospect area in order to
be entitled to continue to participate in the drilling of subsequent test wells
in the AMI; and provided further that Purchaser’s failure to participate in an
initial test well after participating in the initial test well for the second
prospect area shall not affect its right to participate in initial test wells on
subsequent prospects. If Purchaser elects to participate, and pays its agreed
share of the costs associated therewith, Seller shall commence or cause to be
commenced the drilling of said well(s), and continue thereafter with due
diligence and in a good and workmanlike manner to drill same of the Objective
Depth; but shall not be obligated to do so if in Seller’s opinion, there is
insufficient working interest participation, or for any other reason, provided
that Seller shall refund to Purchaser any dry-hole costs theretofore paid by
Purchaser, and shall assign to Purchaser its undivided forty-seven percent (47%)
interest in all leases in such prospect area in which Purchaser has
participated, and refund any lease money advanced by Purchaser and not expended.
In such event Purchaser, at its option, may withdraw from participating by
giving Seller written notice, at which point this Agreement will terminate. Once
the reimbursement of the drilling monies, assignment of leasehold interests and
refund of any unexpended lease money referenced herein have taken place, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as to such prospect area, and Seller
and Purchaser shall have no further obligation, responsibility, or recourse to
each other under this Agreement as to such area; provided that any Operating
Agreement covering such prospect area shall remain in effect in accordance with
its terms.

2.  
The initial test well on each prospect or any substitute therefor, shall (if the
Seller and Purchaser agree) be drilled and logged on a turnkey or day work basis
at the sole cost, risk and expense of the Seller. If the parties do not agree to
conduct the operations on a turnkey basis, Seller shall conduct such operations
on an actual cost basis and Purchaser shall be responsible for its 58.75% share
thereof. Operator firmly agrees, in its operations, to abide by and fully comply
with all State and Federal laws and regulations, together will all rules and
regulations of any governmental agency having jurisdiction of the area or field
in which such operations are performed.

3.  
In connection with the drilling of each test well in which it participates,
Purchaser shall have full and complete access to the location, derrick floor,
drillers’ logs, electrical logs, cores and any and all information gained by the
drilling of such test wells, and shall receive sufficient notice twenty four
(24) hours prior to any testing, logging, or coring in order to have a
representative present during each such operations and such notice, together
with any progress drilling reports to be given to Purchaser or such
representative as Purchaser may from time to time designate, at the above
address or at such location or address as Purchaser may hereafter furnish.

4.  
Seller will be relieved of its turnkey obligations (if turnkey operations are
conducted) as specified herein upon successful acquisition of the first open
hole electric log from surface through the Objective Depth.

5.  
All operations on any well on any prospect after the Initial Test Well on that
prospect shall be conducted on a non-promoted basis, Purchaser paying only its
forty seven percent (47%) share of the actual costs thereof, unless Purchaser
and Seller agree to conduct such operations on a turnkey or other basis.
