Mr. James J. Woodcock

Chairman of the Board

Teton Energy Corporation

1600 Broadway, Suite 2400

Denver, CO 80202

 

Dear Jim:

 

It has been a
pleasure to serve Teton for many years and the time has come for me to
resign.  I hereby resign effective upon
Teton’s execution of this agreement.

 

(1)                                  Teton
shall pay me severance monthly in the amount of $16,667.00 per month, less  appropriate withholdings, from September 30,
2005 through September 30, 2006. 
The severance payments will end in the event I: (a) accept
reasonably equivalent employment with another company during the 12-month
period beginning on October 1, 2005; (b) am in material breach of
this agreement; or (c) the Board unanimously adopts a resolution that I
have materially breached this agreement or that I am in material breach of any
post-termination obligations (as identified in Section 2 below) under the
consulting agreement.

 

(2)                                  For
six months from the effective date of my resignation, I agree to provide to
Teton before offering to any other party the right to participate in any
opportunity I generate, or a third party generates and offers to me in writing,
to acquire an interest in oil and gas properties, or to participate in oil and
gas exploration activities, within the United States.  Teton shall have 10 business days after written
notification from me to elect, by written notice to me signed by its president,
to acquire all or part of the interest offered, in which event Teton shall be
deemed to have agreed to perform all obligations attributable to such
opportunity as described in the offering documents.  If Teton does not timely deliver such notice,
it being agreed that time is of the essence, I shall have no further obligation
to Teton with respect to such opportunity and may offer the available interest
to any third party; provided, if I offer to or accept from a third party terms
for such participation that are more favorable than those I offered to Teton, I
shall give Teton a right of first refusal to elect by written notice delivered
to me within ten business days to acquire the interest on such more favorable
terms.  My consulting agreement, dated February 22,
2005 (and as of March 1, 2005), is hereby terminated without cause when my
resignation as director is effective.  In
addition, all restrictions on my ability to engage in the oil and gas business
are hereby terminated, including without limitation the non-competition
provisions set forth in Section 3.1 of the consulting agreement, Section 4.1
of my previous employment agreement dated January 1, 2005 and Section 8.6
and 8.7 of my previous employment agreement dated May 1, 2002. Other than
as stated above, the provisions of my consulting agreement that expressly
survive termination shall continue in full force and effect.

 

 

(3)                                  Teton
shall file an S-8, which S-8 shall include the shares of common stock
underlying my options and employee warrants (Schedule I attached), and
agrees not to withdraw or terminate the S-8 while my options or warrants are
outstanding.  This S-8 will be filed no
later than October 13, 2005.  Teton
agrees to provide me and my counsel with an opportunity to review and comment
on the S-8 prior to filing; provided, however, that I agree that in the event
changes that my counsel and I request result in a delay in the filing the S-8
that Teton shall be afforded such additional time to file the S-8 as elapsed
between the time my counsel was presented with a draft of the 8-K and the date
on which Teton and I agreed on any substantive changes to the document.  In addition, my counsel and I will agree to
provide such representations and comfort to Teton and Teton’s counsel regarding
the validity of the warrants issued on 10/01/00 and 12/16/02 and their
compliance with the rules applicable to Form S-8.  I agree to conduct sales of approximately
244,006 shares of Teton common stock between now and December 31, 2005
solely through C. K. Cooper & Company and I will not undertake the
sale of additional shares until January 1, 2006.  Furthermore, I agree that should the value of
Teton shares decline below $6.00 this year that I would forestall my current
plans to sell this year unless the shares value increased above $6.00
subsequently.  Lastly, in the event there
is any material change in my plans or the ability of C. K. Cooper &
Company to execute these transactions with negligible impact to the market,
that C. K. Cooper & Company shall promptly notify both parties, and be
authorized to stop all activities, until we again reach a mutual agreement
regarding the deposition of these shares and inform them of such new agreement.

 

(4)                                  Teton,
prior to my resignation as a director will re-grant me NSOs (on the form
provided by you and attached hereto) to replace my ISOs originally granted on April 9,
2003 and March 31, 2004, and Teton hereby acknowledges the continued
validity of my options (and with the confirmation forms provided by you and
attached hereto) as listed on Schedule I hereto in accordance with the
option agreements and warrant agreements relating thereto and agrees to
cooperate fully and promptly with my option and warrant exercises and stock
sales.

 

(5)                                  Teton and H. Howard
Cooper, each on his or its own behalf and on behalf of his or its affiliates,
heirs, representatives and assigns, hereby fully and forever releases and
discharges the other as well as the other’s past and present affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, shareholders, independent contractors,
attorneys and agents, of and from any and all actions, causes of action,
claims, demands, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of every kind
and nature whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether now known or unknown, that
the releasing parties may now have, or claim at any future time to have,
against any released party based in whole or in part upon any act or omission
occurring on or before the effective date of this agreement, without regard to
present actual knowledge of such acts or omissions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, this
agreement shall not release or otherwise limit or affect in any way H. Howard
Cooper’s rights to indemnification, defense and/or insurance coverage or Teton’s
or H. Howard Cooper’s rights under this agreement or rights under any other
continuing obligation of either of them, whether pursuant to contract,
certificate of incorporation, bylaws, insurance contract or otherwise.  In addition, Teton represents and warrants
that this agreement has been authorized by all necessary action of its Board of
Directors.  Any notice required under
this agreement shall be sent to the address set forth in this letter or such
other address that is subsequently provided to the other party in writing and
notice shall be deemed

 

2

 

given on the soonest of when actually
received, the day sent via email or facsimile or two days after mailing.  The parties acknowledge that irreparable
injury would occur in the event any provision of this agreement is not performed
or is breached and therefore, in addition to any other remedy available, the
parties are entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches or to specifically
enforce the provisions of this agreement.

 

(6)                                  H.
Howard Cooper will refrain from making statements, written or oral, which
denigrate, disparage or defame the goodwill or reputation of Teton and its
officers, shareholders, partners, agents and former and current employees and
directors. Teton will refrain from making statements, written or oral, which
denigrate, disparage or defame H. Howard Cooper’s goodwill or reputation. There
is excepted from this provision all statements: 1) necessary to enforce this
agreement, 2) made truthfully as a result of any question required to be
answered by law, or 3) made truthfully by one party to this agreement in
response to any statement by the other party to this agreement that is
violative of this paragraph.  In
addition, H. Howard Cooper, together with his attorneys, advisors, family, and
other representatives, agree to refrain from interfering in the affairs of
Teton and Teton, together with its attorneys, advisors, and other
representatives agree to refrain from interfering in the affairs of H. Howard
Cooper.  A party shall not be deemed to
have interfered with the other party solely by virtue of its enforcing its
rights under this agreement.  In
addition, this provision shall not be deemed to limit Mr. Cooper’s rights
as a stockholder; provided, however, that any effort of Mr. Cooper to wage
a proxy fight, to act in concert with other shareholders or to cause other
shareholders to act with a view toward taking any action that may be reasonably
deemed by Teton to have been taken with a view toward effecting corporate
change or interfering with the affairs of Teton shall not be deemed be included
in Mr. Cooper’s rights as a shareholder.

 

(7)                                  Except as required by
law or regulation, or as necessary to enforce this agreement, none of the
parties hereto will disclose the terms of this Agreement, provided that H.
Howard Cooper may disclose such terms to his financial and legal advisors and
his spouse and Teton may disclose such terms to selected employees, advisors
and affiliates on a “need to know” basis, each of whom shall be instructed by
H. Howard Cooper and Teton, as the case may be, to maintain the terms of this
agreement in strict confidence in accordance with the terms hereof. This
provision shall not apply once Teton discloses the terms thereof in any public
filings required by the SEC or to the extent disclosed in any proxy statement.  I shall be afforded the right to review the
language used in any public disclosure regarding my resignation prior to
dissemination or filing.

 

(8)                                  H. Howard Cooper has
returned or will immediately return to Teton all Company Information  and Company Property (as defined below),
which he has in his possession, and agrees not to keep any copies of Company
Information. H. Howard Cooper affirms his obligation to keep all Company
Information confidential and not to disclose it to any third party in the
future. The term “Company Information” means: (i) confidential
information, including information received from third parties under
confidential conditions, and (ii) other technical, marketing, business or
financial information, or information relating to personnel or former personnel
of Teton, the use or disclosure of which might reasonably be construed to be
contrary to the interest of Teton; provided, however, that the term “Company
Information” shall not

 

3

 

include any information that is or became or
becomes generally known or available to the public other than as a direct
result of a breach of this paragraph by H. Howard Cooper (or any action by H.
Howard Cooper prior to the effective date of this agreement) which would have
been a breach of H. Howard Cooper’s obligations to Teton in effect at such
time. H. Howard Cooper shall have the right to remove from the offices of Teton
any of his personal files that do not contain Company Information.  “Company Property” shall include all property
purchased by Teton on Mr. Cooper’s behalf or otherwise purchased by Teton
for Mr. Cooper’s use on behalf of Teton. 
Mr. Cooper shall have the right to retain any personal property not
deemed to be Company Property.

 

(9)                                  In any action arising
from or relating to this agreement, the party prevailing therein shall recover
from the other party all expenses incurred in connection with the action,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

3.2.          Project:  The Premises are a part of the office project
(the “Project”) described in Paragraph 1.  Landlord
may increase, reduce or change the number, dimensions or locations of the
walks, buildings, mall areas, parking and other Common Areas and other
improvements located in the Project in any manner that Landlord, in its sole reasonable
discretion, shall deem proper.  Landlord

Project.  Landlord shall have the right
to change the Project’s name without notice, to change the Project’s street
address upon 90  days prior
notice, to grant to any person or entity the exclusive right to conduct any

right shall not operate to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the
purpose set forth in Paragraph 1, to
retain at all times master keys or passkeys to the Premises, and to place such
signs, notices or displays as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or desirable
upon the roof and exterior of the Project.

5.                                      RENT:

 

5. l.          Base
Rent:  Tenant will pay to Landlord as
rent for the use and occupancy of the Premises at the times and in the manner
provided below, Base Rent in the amount specified in Paragraph 1
above payable in advance on the commencement of the term of this Lease and on
or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month during the
term hereof without demand, setoff or deduction.

 

5.2.          Additional Rent:  All
sums of money as shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s percentage share of Operating
Expenses, shall be additional rent which Tenant shall be obligated to pay.  Landlord shall have the same remedies for
default in the payment of additional rent as are available to Landlord in the
case of a default in the payment of Base Rent.

 

6.                                      OPERATING
EXPENSES:

 

6.1.          Operating
Expenses Rent    In
addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Percentage Share, as specified
in Paragraph 1 above, of the Operating
Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in such year in excess of the Operating
Expenses for the Base Year (“Operating Expenses Rent”.

 

6.2.          Payment:  During December of each
calendar year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord will give Tenant
written notice of its estimate (line item and detailed support included) of
Operating Expenses Rent for the ensuing calendar year.  On or before the first day of each month
during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant will pay to Landlord 1/12th of such estimated amounts, provided that if such
notice is not given in December, Tenant will continue to pay on the basis of
the prior year’s estimate until the month after such notice is given.  If at any time or times it appears to
Landlord that the amounts payable for Operating Expenses Rent for the current
calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than 10%,
Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, will revise its estimate for such year,
and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year will be in an amount so that by
the end of such year Tenant will have paid a total sum equal to such revised
estimate.  Landlord will indicate in its
notice to Tenant the reasons Landlord believes its estimate is low by more than
10%.

 

6.3.          Statement:  Within 90
days after the close of each calendar
year, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts of Operating
Expenses Rent payable under this Lease for such calendar year.  If such statement shows an amount owing by
Tenant that is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year
previously made by Tenant, Tenant will pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30  days after
delivery of the statement.  If the total
of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year
exceeds the actual Expense Adjustment Amounts due from Tenant for such Calendar
Year and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, such excess shall, at
Landlord’s option, be either credited against payments next due hereunder or
refunded by Landlord to Tenant.  Tenant
has the right, exercisable no more than once each calendar year on reasonable
notice and at a time reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to cause an audit to be
performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense of Landlord’s operations and/or
books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses for the preceding 2  calendar years.  In the event Landlord has
overstated Operating Expenses by more than 5%, within 30 days after demand therefor by Tenant accompanied by
Tenant’s verification of such overcharges and paid invoices, Landlord will
reimburse Tenant for all overcharges and the costs of such audit and
verification incurred by Tenant.

 

6.4.          Proration:  If for any reason other than
the default of Tenant, this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day
of a calendar year, the amount of Operating Expenses Rent payable by Tenant
applicable to the calendar year in which such termination occurs will be
prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such
calendar year to and including such termination date bears to 365.

 

6.5.          Computation:  Tenant’s Percentage Share of
the Operating Expenses is the proportion that the rentable square footage
occupied by Tenant bears to the total rentable square footage of the Project,
as determined by Landlord. 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph to
the contrary, if the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%) leased
and/or occupied during any calendar year including the Base Year for purposes
of determining Base Year Operating Expenses, an adjustment shall be made so
that Operating Expenses Rent shall be computed for such year and Base Year
Operating Expenses shall be computed for the Base Year as though 95% of the
Project had been leased and occupied during such year.

 

6

 

6.6.          Taxes Payable by Tenant: 
Tenant shall be directly responsible for taxes upon, measured by or
reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or by the cost or
value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant
other than the initial improvements to be installed at Landlord’s expense
regardless of whether title to such improvements is in Tenant or Landlord.

exclusive use of a particular tenant or particular tenants.  Landlord will have the right to institute
reasonable procedures and/or methods to enforce the terms of this Subparagraph.  Unless

AND SUBLETTING; ENCUMBRANCE:  Tenant
shall not assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises without prior
written consent of the Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, it being understood that it shall be reasonable for Landlord, among
other things, to withhold consent if Landlord is not satisfied with the,
business character of the proposed assignee or sublessee.  Any material change in the ownership of
Tenant, if Tenant is a corporation or partnership, shall constitute an
assignment for purposes of this Paragraph.  Notwithstanding any consent by
Landlord, Tenant and Guarantor(s), if any, shall remain jointly and severally
liable (along with each approved assignee and sublessee, which shall
automatically become liable for all obligations of Tenant hereunder with
respect to that portion of the Premises so transferred), and Landlord shall be
permitted to enforce the provisions of this Lease directly against Tenant or
any assignee or sublessee without

 

7

 

proceeding in any way against any other party.  In the event of an assignment,
contemporaneously with the granting of Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall cause
the assignee to expressly assume in writing and agree to perform all of the
covenants, duties and obligations of Tenant hereunder and such assignee shall
be jointly and severally liable therefore along with Tenant.  No usage of the Premises different from the
usage provided for in Paragraph 1 above
shall be permitted, and all other terms and provisions of the Lease shall
continue to apply after such assignment or sublease.  Tenant shall not make or consent to any
conditional, contingent or deferred assignment of some or all of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, which

deliver any financing or security agreement that can be given priority over any
mortgage given by Landlord or its successors, and, in the event Tenant does so
execute or deliver such financing or security agreement, such action on the
part of Tenant shall be considered a breach of the terms and conditions of this
Lease and a default by Tenant entitling Landlord to such remedies as are
provided for in this Lease.  Landlord
shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part, Landlord’s
rights and obligations hereunder and in the Project and the Premises.

municipal, state and federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter
be in force, pertaining to the Premises, occasioned by or affecting the use
thereof by Tenant, including, but not limited to, the Americans With

pendency of any state or federal court abatement proceeding affecting the use
of the Premises shall, at the option of the Landlord, be deemed a breach

notice in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any
liability for liens.  All alterations

construction done by Tenant.  All persons
and entities contracting or otherwise dealing with Tenant relative to the
Premises or the Project are hereby placed on notice of the provisions of this Paragraph, and Tenant shall further notify in writing such
persons or entities of the provisions of this Paragraph
prior to commencement of any Tenant work in the Premises.  If any construction, mechanic’s, materialman’s,
laborer’s or supplier’s lien is ever claimed, fixed or asserted against the
Premises or any other portion of the Project in connection with any such Tenant
work, Tenant shall, within 10 days after
receipt by Tenant of notice of such lien, discharge same as a lien either by
payment or by posting of any bond as permitted by law.  If Tenant shall fail to discharge any such
lien, whether valid or not, within 10 days after
receipt of notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to discharge such lien on behalf of Tenant and all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord associated with the discharge of the lien,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall constitute additional
rent hereunder and shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant.

other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately

alternative, (i) continue this Lease in effect, as long as Landlord does not
terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights

becomes due under the Lease; or (ii) terminate Tenant’s right of possession
(but not this Lease) and repossess the Premises pursuant to the laws of the
State in which the Project is located, without demand or notice of any kind to

such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord.  For purpose of such reletting Landlord is
authorized by Tenant to decorate or to make any repairs, changes, alterations
or additions in or to the Premises that may be necessary to relet the Premises ,
at Tenant’s expense.  Tenant shall also
be responsible for rent for the period that the Premises are vacant and all

obligations hereunder, Tenant shall be obligated, within 10 days
of receipt of notice from Landlord, to deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount stated in Paragraph 1.8 above.

Lease.  Provided Tenant is not in
default, any balance remaining upon termination shall be returned to
Tenant.  Tenant shall not have the right
to apply the Security Deposit in payment of the last month’s rent.  No interest shall be paid by Landlord on the
Security Deposit.  In the event of a sale

with respect thereto, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such purchaser for
the return of the Security Deposit.

Base Rent and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from Tenant, and to
secure payment of any damages or loss which Landlord may suffer by reason of
the breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement or condition contained herein,
upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furnishings, inventory,
improvements and other personal property of Tenant presently or which hereafter
may be situated in or on the Premises, and all proceeds therefrom, and such
property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of

 

13

 

Landlord until any and
all other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder, first shall have been
paid and discharged, and all covenants, agreements and conditions hereof have
been fully complied with and performed by Tenant.  At any time and from time to time, Tenant
agrees to execute any UCC-1 Financing Statement or such other documents or
instruments as Landlord may request to perfect or confirm the security interest
created by this Paragraph. 
Upon any failure by Tenant to do so, Landlord may execute
same for and on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact.  All exemption laws are hereby waived by
Tenant.  This lien and security interest
may be foreclosed with or without court proceedings, by public or private sale,
with or without notice upon the material default of Tenant under this Lease,
and Landlord shall have the right to become purchaser upon being the highest
bidder at such sale.  Landlord, as
secured party, shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies afforded a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, which rights and remedies
shall be in addition to and cumulative of the Landlord’s liens and rights
provided by law or by the terms and provisions of this Lease.

Landlord reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

to enforce any provision of this Lease or to protect or establish any right or
remedy of either Landlord or Tenant hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such
action or proceeding will pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated reasonable costs of
Landlord’s in-house attorney), incurred by such prevailing party in such action
or proceeding and in any appearance in connection therewith, and if such
prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal,
such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees will be determined by the court
handling the proceeding and will be included in and as a part of such judgment.

hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver.

enforceable.

for any option period, Landlord will not consider the highest and best use for
the Premises, or the Building where the Premises are located or the underlying
land, but will consider only the then prevailing rent for premises comparable
in size and use to the demised Premises, located in buildings comparable in
size and use to, and in the general vicinity of, the Building and taking into
consideration all allowances for tenant improvements, moving expenses, landlord
expenses, rent abatement, brokerage expenses, tenant benefits, credit quality
of Tenant or any other market concessions which may be commonly available at
the commencement of such extension period. 
The Market Rate shall be determined on the basis of the assumptions
that the operating expense Base Year shall be updated to the first full
calendar year of the renewal term.
