financial effort of the new Minimum Exploratory Plan be equivalent or better than the presented initially for the respective phase. In this event, THE CONTRACTOR shall notify by writing and in advance to ANH of the intended Exploration Operations
substitution. 
 5.3.2. For next phase: If after drilling a Exploratory Well it turns out dry THE CONTRACTOR judges that Contracted Area forecast does
not justify the drill of one (1) Exploratory Well contained in the Minimum Exploratory Plan of next phase of Exploration Period, THE CONTRACTOR shall be able to substitute said drilling by the acquisition and processing of a seismic program,
provided that the financial effort be equivalent or better than the Minimum Exploratory Plan for the respective phase and that THE CONTRACTOR shall inform in advance and by writing to ANH of the intended substitution. 
 5.4. Additional Exploration: THE CONTRACTOR shall carry out additional Exploratory Operations in the Minimum Exploratory Plan or in the Subsequent Exploratory
Plan, with no modification of the agreed term for the performance of the Minimum Exploratory Plan or of the Subsequent Exploratory Plan of the ongoing phase or of next phases due to such Exploration Operations. For exercising this right THE
CONTRACTOR shall notify to ANH in advance with respect to intended additional Exploration Operations. If said Exploration Operations are the defined in the Minimum Exploratory Plan of following phase, the ANH shall certify such Exploration
Operations in compliance to exploratory commitments agreed for next phase. Otherwise, if THE CONTRACTOR wishes

that such additional Exploration Operations be certified to the compliance of exploratory commitments agreed for next phase, if any, it shall request so by
writing to ANH who at its sole discretion, shall determine whether it accepts or not such certificate. In the event that said request be accepted by ANH, it shall determine how the additional Exploration Operations performed in next phase of
Exploration Period will be certified in full or in part. 
 5.5. Problems during Exploratory Wells drilling: During the drilling of the Exploratory
Well corresponding to the Minimum Exploratory Plan or to the Subsequent Exploratory Plan and before reaching the target depth, should non-controllable geological problems arise such as cavities, abnormal pressures, impenetrable formations, severe
circulation losses or other technical conditions that prevent from drilling the Exploratory Well, in spite of THE CONTRACTOR’s tenacity to continuing drilling works pursuant to Good Practices of Oil Industry; THE CONTRACTOR shall be able to
request to ANH to consider the drilling obligation fulfilled by means of presenting the technical report which describes in detail the situation and efforts made to overcome the problem. Said report shall be presented to ANH in a term no later than
fifteen (15) Calendar Days as of said non-controllable problem start. If ANH accepts that THE CONTRACTOR terminates the drilling operations in the aforementioned well, it should abandon or complete it up to reached depth, and the Minimum or
Subsequent Exploratory Plan obligation for such well shall be understood as fulfilled. 
 CLAUSE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EXPLORATORY PLAN

 6.1. Subsequent Exploratory Plan: By the end of the Exploration Period, provided that there is at least one Evaluation Area or one Exploitation
Area or one Discovery made by THE CONTRACTOR in the last phase of the Exploration Area in Contracted Area, THE CONTRACTOR shall be able to retain fifty (50%) of Contracted Area (excluded Evaluation and Exploitation Areas) to carry out the
Subsequent Exploration Plan in the retained area but outside Evaluation and Exploitation Areas. In such event, following procedure shall be applied:

	b.	Such notice should describe the Exploration Operations that constitute the Subsequent Exploration Plan that THE CONTRACTOR undertakes to carry out by splitting in two
(2) phases of two (2) years each, as of the first until the completion of last phase of the Minimum Exploratory Plan. Each of the phases of the Subsequent Exploratory Plan shall contain at least same Exploratory Operations for last phase
of Minimum Exploratory Period. 

  

	c.	 Once the liabilities of first phase of Subsequent Exploratory Plan have been complied timely, THE CONTRACTOR shall be able to choose not continuing to 












			
	HYDROCARBON EXPLORATORY AND PRODUCTION CONTRACT-LUNA LLENA	  	12

  


	 	 
second phase, which imposes the entire return of retained areas for this effect of for continuing with second phase, which forces to return only fifty
(50%) of them, excluded existing Evaluation and Exploitation. THE CONTRACTOR shall inform by writing to ANH its decision within the month following the first phase completion. 


 Returns of areas mentioned in this clause are understood without prejudice of existing Evaluation and Exploitation Areas.

 Where: 
  

			
	Po(n-1):	 	is the Po value of the immediately preceding Calendar year.
	l(n-2):	 	is the annual variation, expressed in fraction, of the US producer price index for Calendar Year, two years before the one calculated, published by the US Treasury Department

amount equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the production value of light Liquid Hydrocarbons at the Delivery Point, or five percent (5%) in the event of non-related Natural Gas or of Heavy Liquid Hydrocarbons, obtained by THE CONTRACTOR as
of the expiration date of the initial term of the Exploitation Period and valued at the Delivery Point, after deducting the percentage corresponding to royalties. On said participation no economical rights mentioned in sections 16.1.2. and 16.2.
shall be caused. During extension of Exploitation Period the rights for use of subsoil and for high prices mentioned in sections 16.1.2 and 16.2, respectively, shall only be caused on THE CONTRACTOR’s volume after having deducted the
participation right mentioned herein. 
 16.5. Prices for internal supply: When THE CONTRACTOR sells its crude for refining needs of internal supply,
prices shall be calculated on the international price basis, as has been established in Resolution No. 18-1709 of December 23, 2003 granted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, or in any other legal or regulatory provision that amends or
substitutes it.
