Houston, Texas 77010

Dear J.P.:

As we discussed, pursuant to Section 16.2(a) of the Master Services Agreement
between Torch Etal and Mission, Mission Resources is electing to terminate the
Corporate Administration Services Agreement between Mission and TEAI. As
required in the Master Services Agreement, the termination date will be April
30, 2002. Mission has agreed to pay Torch a $620,000 cancellation fee upon
termination. This payment and termination of the Contract will relieve Mission
of any and all future obligations associated with the Contract.

We appreciate the very professional and efficient execution of the Contract by
Torch over the past years.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jon Clarkson
Jon Clarkson
President

Acknowledged and Agreed
/s/ J. P. Bryan
