2.           Agreement to Execute New Lease Assignments to be Held in Escrow.







(a)           As collateral and security for its performance under the terms of the Agreement effective as of October 30, 2012, as amended hereby, the Buyer did earlier execute, acknowledge (where applicable) and deliver to Allen & Vellone, P.C., as escrow agent under that certain Document Escrow Agreement dated effective as of October 30, 2012,  as amended by the parties, four (4) new copies of an Assignment (in an approved Assignment form) whereby the Buyer shall re-assign and re-convey to the Sellers one hundred percent (100%) of the record title in and to State of Alaska Oil and Gas Lease ADLs 390939, 391544 and 391545, subject to the reservation to Sellers (in the proportions of twenty five percent (25%) to Donkel and seventy five percent (75%) to Cade), an overriding royalty equal to four percent (4%) of 8/8ths free and clear of all costs and expenses of production.


.


(b)           In intervals of no more than every 75 days until the Buyer Note is fully paid, the Buyer agrees to execute, acknowledge (where applicable) and deliver to, or cause to be executed, acknowledged (where applicable) and delivered to, Allen & Vellone, P.C., as escrow agent under the Document Escrow Agreement dated October 30, 2012, as amended by the parties, four (4) copies of new, replacement Assignments as referenced in subsection (a) above. The new Assignments shall replace the last set of Assignments executed and delivered pursuant to this section. The parties acknowledge and agree that this provision is intended to insure that Assignments held in escrow are always in current approved form and that the Assignments have been executed by Buyer within the last 90 days in compliance with applicable Alaska Division of Oil & Gas policies and procedures. In the event that Buyer fails to timely deliver to the Sellers the appropriate new Assignments as required under this subsection, Buyer shall be obligated to pay Sellers, as liquidated damages, $100.00 per day for each day the Buyer is obligated but fails to execute and deliver the required assignments. The foregoing per day amount payable to Sellers shall be considered liquidated damages by the parties as it is agreed that actual damages to Sellers for Buyer’s failure to execute and deliver the assignment are difficult to ascertain with certainty and that the payment provided herein is a reasonable estimate of such damages.







(c)           On or before November 19, 2013, the Buyer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Allen & Vellone, P.C., as escrow agent, a new set of four (4) replacement Assignments as referenced in subsection (a) above. If the new replacement Assignments are not executed, acknowledged and delivered to Allen & Vellone, P.C. on or before November 19, 2013, then Buyer and Sellers hereby jointly authorize the release and delivery to the Sellers of the Assignments currently held by Allen & Vellone, P.C. under the terms of the Document Escrow Agreement dated October 30, 2012, as amended by the parties. The release of the subject Assignments allows the Sellers the opportunity to execute and acknowledge the subject Assignments for potential use if, and only if, the Buyer fails to make the payment due and owing on December 2, 2013 as provided for in Section 1 above.
