                Engagement
                  and Duties:
                  You will be the part-time Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company.
                  Your responsibilities will include the preparation of financial
                  reports
                  contained in the
                  Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
                  Sarbanes-Oxley compliance matters regarding the establishment and
                  maintenance of the Company’s internal controls, and rendering assistance
                  to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding financial and accounting
                  matters to the extent practical within the 45
                  days/year time frame contemplated below. The parties acknowledge
                  that
                  approximately 50% of your total time for this engagement during
                  the 2007
                  calendar year will be devoted to the Company’s fiscal 2006 year-end
                  closing and audit.

              
	 	 
	
                2.

              	
                Term
                  of Engagement:
                  Your engagement will commence February 5, 2007 and continue on
                  an at-will
                  basis thereafter, with this arrangement terminable by either party
                  on 30
                  days written notice.

              
	 	 
	
                3.

              	
                Compensation:
                  The Company will pay you at the rate of $65,000 per year for your
                  services, for 36 days up to a maximum of 45 days
                  per calendar year, at such times as are reasonably requested by
                  the
                  Company, paid in periodic installments at the same times as the
                  Company’s
                  regular payroll, subject to required deductions and withholdings
                  to be
                  made by the Company. In the event you work for us for less than
                  36 days
                  per calendar year, your compensation will be reduced on a pro-rata
                  basis
                  at the rate of 1/36th
                  of
                  annual compensation. For the purposes of this agreement, a day
                  will be
                  considered to have eight (8) hours and periods of less than one
                  day will
                  be compensated on the basis of the daily rate times the ratio of
                  hours
                  worked to 8 hours.

              
	 	 
	 	
                In
                  the event that additional services are required which will result
                  in your
                  time exceeding 45 days per year, the parties will negotiate the
                  fee on
                  either a project-by-project basis or on a daily rate basis. The
                  Company
                  will not provide you with any benefits or perquisites. However,
                  you will
                  be reimbursed for any expenses you incur which are ordinary and
                  necessary
                  and directly related to providing your services.

              
	 	 
	 	
                Inasmuch
                  as approximately one-half of the services will be provided during
                  the
                  first quarter of the year, it is understood that the compensation
                  payments
                  will need to be accelerated to match the days worked. Accordingly,
                  for the
                  period from commencement of this agreement, through the completion
                  of the
                  2006 audit and filing of the Form 10-K, you will be paid on the
                  basis of
                  days worked, as and when worked, in accordance with the Company’s regular
                  payroll frequency. It is expected that approximately 20 to 25 days
                  of your
                  services will be required between the commencement date and the
                  filing of
                  Form 10-K for 2006. Accordingly, for this period, you will be paid
                  1/36th
                  of
                  your annual compensation for each day worked. Thereafter, you will
                  receive
                  the balance of your compensation at the times of the Company’s regular
                  payroll intervals, representing $65,000 less the amount paid to
                  date
                  divided by the remaining pay periods for the 2007 calendar
                  year.

              
	 	 
	
                4.

              	
                Work
                  Location:
                  It
                  is contemplated that the majority of the time spent in the employ
                  of the
                  Company will be at the Company’s main office location at 1850 McDonald
                  Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. However, it is understood that you may, from
                  time-to-time, choose to work at you own office location, at your
                  home, or
                  any such location that may be necessary to properly discharge your
                  duties
                  in this position or for your own convenience, particularly for
                  work
                  periods of less than one day. You agree to keep accurate time sheets
                  for
                  any work performed whether inside or outside our
                  offices.

                Share-Based
                  Compensation:
                  Although this agreement contains no specific provisions for options,
                  warrants or any other form of share-based compensation, nothing
                  in this
                  agreement shall be construed to prohibit such arrangements, either
                  in lieu
                  of regular cash compensation or for additional agreed-upon services
                  or
                  time overages in accordance with Company guidelines and securities
                  laws,
                  as the parties may agree from time-to-time.

              
	 	 
	
                6.

              	
                Directors
                  and Officers Insurance and Related Matters:
                  The Company warrants that it has directors and officers insurance
                  in force
                  and that such insurance will cover, within policy limits, legal
                  defense
                  costs should you be a defendant in any third-party, regulatory
                  or
                  shareholder action related to your position as CFO. Furthermore,
                  the
                  Company agrees that in the event you are a defendant in any third-party,
                  regulatory or shareholder action you will be considered to be in
                  the
                  employ of the Company and will be compensated at the agreed upon
                  rate for
                  time spent in meetings, testimony or depositions.

      This
        agreement shall be binding upon and inure to your benefit (and your personal
        representatives and heirs) and the Company and any organization which succeeds
        to substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, whether by
        means
        of merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all of the

    DRILLING
      AND COMPLETING THE INITIAL WELL

    

    2.1
       BP
      has
      commenced drilling operations for the Initial Well, and, except as provided
      elsewhere in this Agreement, BP shall continue drilling the Initial Well with
      due diligence to the Objective Zone and perform all logging and testing
      operations to which the Parties agree. Company shall pay 11.67% of the Drilling
      Costs of the Initial Well, regardless of whether the Initial Well is
      successfully drilled to the Objective Zone. BP has estimated that Drilling
      Costs
      will be approximately FOURTEEN MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
      ($14,862,000) (the “Estimated Drilling Costs”) for the Initial Well. Company
      shall pay its share of Estimated Drilling Costs, being ONE MILLION, SEVEN
      HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE DOLLARS ($1,734,395),
      at
      execution of this Agreement via wire transfer according to the wiring
      instructions set forth in Exhibit “I”, but Company will pay its share of actual
      Drilling Costs in accordance with this Article II and Section 5.4. 

    

    2.2 When
      and
      if Casing Point is reached in the Initial Well, BP shall give written notice
      to
      Company of such occurrence, and such notice shall state whether BP proposes
      to
      attempt to Complete the Initial Well as a producer, whether in the Objective
      Zone or in a shallower Zone, or to abandon the Initial Well as a dry hole.
      The
      notice shall be accompanied by all well information and data set forth in
      Exhibit “D” (the “Well Information”), unless such information has been
      previously furnished to Company.

    

    
      	 	
              (A)

            	
              If
                BP reaches Casing Point and proposes to Complete the Initial Well
                as a
                producer, whether in the Objective Zone or in a shallower Zone, such
                notice shall also include a completion AFE. The completion AFE shall
                include, at a minimum, an estimate of Completion Costs for the Initial
                Well. Company shall have forty-eight (48) hours (exclusive of Saturday,
                Sunday and holidays) from receipt of the notice to elect, by written
                notice, whether it will participate in accordance with Section 2.3.
                BP
                shall not Complete the Initial Well until Company has notified BP
                in
                writing whether or not it will participate or until forty-eight (48)
                hours
                (exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and holidays) have elapsed since Company’s
                receipt of BP’s notice. Failure to respond within the time period allowed
                shall be deemed to be an election not to participate in the Completion
                of
                the Initial Well.

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (B)

            	
              If
                BP reaches Casing Point and proposes to abandon the Initial Well
                as a dry
                hole, (i) BP shall plug and abandon the Initial Well in accordance
                with
                Section 2.6, and (ii) Company shall have no right or option to takeover
                the Initial Well.

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

       

    

    

    2.3 If
      BP
      proposes to Complete the Initial Well and Company timely elects to participate
      in such Completion attempt in accordance with Section 2.2(A), Company shall
      pay
      8.75% of the Completion Costs associated with the Initial Well and 8.75% of
      the
      cost of any newly acquired surface equipment associated with the Initial Well
      beyond the wellhead connections (including but not limited to stock tanks,
      separators, treaters, pumping equipment, piping, and metering
      devices).

     

    2.4 If
      BP
      proposes to Complete the Initial Well and Company elects not to participate
      in
      such Completion attempt, or is deemed not to participate, BP may nonetheless
      continue with such operation and carry Company’s proportionate part of
      Completion Costs. If the Completion attempt is ultimately not successful, BP
      shall abandon the Initial Well in accordance with Section 2.6 or propose to
      Complete the Initial Well in another Zone under the provisions of Section 2.2
      (and Company shall be given another election to participate in such newly
      proposed Completion). If the Completion attempt results in the production of
      oil
      and/or gas in paying quantities, the Initial Well shall be operated by BP at
      the
      expense and for the account of BP and other parties who agreed to participate
      in
      the Completion attempt. By electing not to participate in any Completion
      attempt, or being deemed not to participate in any Completion attempt, Company
      shall be deemed to have relinquished to BP, and BP shall own and be entitled
      to
      receive, all of Company’s interest in the Initial Well and share of production
      therefrom until the proceeds of the sale of such share, calculated at the well,
      or market value thereof if such share is not sold (after deducting applicable
      ad
      valorem, production, severance, windfall profits, and excise taxes, royalty,
      overriding royalty and other interests payable out of or measured by the
      production from the Initial Well accruing with respect to such interest until
      it
      reverts), shall equal the total of the following:

    

    
      	 	
              (A)

            	
              twenty
                six and one-quarter percent (26.25%) of the Completion Costs associated
                with the Initial Well and twenty six and one-quarter percent (26.25%)
                of
                the cost of any newly acquired surface equipment beyond the wellhead
                connections (including but not limited to stock tanks, separators,
                treaters, pumping equipment, piping and metering devices) (i.e.,
                300% non-consent penalty on a non-promoted basis);
                and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              (B)

            	
              eight
                and three quarters percent (8.75%) of the cost of operation of the
                Initial
                Well commencing with first production and continuing until Company’s
                interest shall revert to it in accordance with this Section 2.4
                (i.e.,
                100% non-consent penalty on a non-promoted
                basis).

            

    

    

    2.5 Company
      shall bear its proportionate part, being eight and three quarters percent
      (8.75%), of any severance, production and gathering taxes and any other taxes
      imposed or measured by the volume or value of production from the Initial Well,
      including, but only by way of illustration, excise taxes and windfall profit
      taxes, whether enacted by federal, state or local authority.

    

    2.6 The
      Initial Well shall be plugged and abandoned in accordance with applicable
      regulations and at the cost, risk and expense of the parties who participated
      in
      the cost of drilling the Initial Well. Company’s proportionate share of the
      cost, risk and expense to plug and abandon the Initial Well shall be eight
      and
      three quarters percent (8.75%).

       If,
      prior
      to reaching Casing Point in the Initial Well, BP should encounter geological
      or
      mechanical conditions which render further operations impracticable or
      economically infeasible, in the sole reasonable opinion of BP, BP shall (i)
      give
      written notice of such occurrence to Company, and (ii) such notice shall state
      whether BP proposes to attempt to Complete the Initial Well in a shallower
      Zone
      or to abandon the Initial Well as a dry hole.

              If
                BP proposes to Complete the Initial Well without reaching the Objective
                Zone, such notice shall also include a completion AFE. The completion
                AFE
                shall include, at a minimum, an estimate of Completion Costs for
                the
                Initial Well. Company shall have forty-eight (48) hours (exclusive
                of
                Saturday, Sunday and holidays) from receipt of the notice to elect,
                by
                written notice, whether it will participate in accordance with Section
                2.3. BP shall not Complete the Initial Well until Company has notified
                BP
                in writing whether or not it will participate or until forty-eight
                (48)
                hours (exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and holidays) have elapsed since
                Company’s receipt of BP’s notice. Failure to respond within the time
                period allowed shall be deemed to be an election not to participate
                in the
                Completion of the Initial Well. If BP proposes to Complete the Initial
                Well and Company elects not to participate in such Completion attempt,
                or
                is deemed not to participate, BP may nonetheless continue with such
                operation and carry Company’s proportionate part of Completion Costs in

                plug
                and abandon the Initial Well in accordance with Section 2.6, and
                (ii)
                Company shall have no right or option to takeover the Initial Well.
                

            

    

    

    3.2 If
      BP
      does not drill the Initial Well to the Objective Zone, Company shall have the
      right, but not the obligation, for a period of one (1) year from the date the
      drilling rig used to drill the Initial Well is removed from the well site
      location for the Initial Well (the “Rig Release Date”), to participate in the
      drilling of a Substitute Well. BP shall have no obligation to drill a Substitute
      Well, and Company shall have no right to propose a Substitute Well. If and
      when
      BP elects to drill a Substitute Well, BP shall provide Company with an AFE
      for
      the Substitute Well. The AFE for the Substitute Well shall include, at a
      minimum, the surface and bottomhole location of the Substitute Well, the
      Objective Zone, and the estimated costs for the Substitute Well as a dry hole
      and as a producer. Company shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such

      BP
      proposes to drill a Substitute Well and Company timely elects to participate
      in

      be treated for all purposes herein as the Initial Well (including, but not
      limited to, Company’s obligation to pay 11.67% of the Drilling Costs for such
      Substitute Well), except that the Objective Zone for such Substitute Well shall
      be governed by the AFE for such Substitute Well.

      RIGHTS

    

    4.1 When
      and
      if the Initial Well is drilled to the Objective Zone and successfully Completed
      as a well capable of producing oil and/or gas in paying quantities, BP shall
      assign to Company, by partial assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
      “E”(the “Partial Assignment”), an eight and three quarters percent (8.75%)
      working interest in the Initial Well and an eight and three quarters percent
      (8.75%) interest in the BP Interests.

     

    4.2 If
      the
      Initial Well is not drilled to the Objective Zone, for any reason, but the
      Initial Well is successfully Completed as a well capable of producing oil and/or
      gas in paying quantities, BP shall assign to Company, by partial assignment
      in
      the form of the Partial Assignment, an eight and three quarters percent (8.75%)
      working interest in the Initial Well and an undivided eight and three quarters
      percent (8.75%) interest in the BP Interests, but limited as to the geographic
      boundaries of the Unit in which the Initial Well is located and further limited
      as to those depths between the surface and the stratigraphic equivalent of
      the
      deepest Zone penetrated in the Initial Well (the “Partial Interest”). BP and
      Company shall conduct operations with respect to such Initial Well as if they
      have entered into the Operating Agreement until such well or a Substitute Well
      is drilled to and successfully Completed in the Objective Zone or until this
      Agreement is terminated; provided, however, if this Agreement is to be
      terminated without Company earning its proportionate share of the BP Interests
      in accordance with Section 4.1, then the Parties shall enter into an operating
      agreement in the form of the Operating Agreement except that the contract area
      of such operating agreement shall be limited to the Partial Interest.

    5.1
       BP
      does
      not own but has a limited non-exclusive right to use the Data in accordance
      with
      the Seismic Use Agreements. Under the Seismic Use Agreements, BP may not sell,
      assign, copy, transfer, display, exhibit or in any way reveal the Data, except
      as authorized by and in compliance with the provisions of the Seismic Use
      Agreements. Therefore, Company’s access to the Data shall be limited, and may be
      prohibited all together upon execution of this Agreement, unless Company obtains
      the consent or otherwise enters into a seismic license or seismic use agreement
      with the Data Owner. BP
      does not represent or warrant in any way, and expressly disclaims any
      representations or warranties, of any kind, express, implied or otherwise,
      that
      it owns the Data or otherwise has the right to provide all or any portion of
      the
      Data to Company.  

    

    5.2 BP
      shall
      deliver to Company the Well Information derived from or attributable to the
      Initial Well and any Substitute Well and Additional Well, if such Well
      Information is acquired, obtained, or performed by BP.

    

    5.3
       The
      Initial Well and each Substitute Well and Additional Well shall be under the
      exclusive control of BP and the operation thereof shall be conducted in a
      prudent and workmanlike manner. BP shall conduct all its activities under this
      Agreement as a reasonable prudent operator, in a good and workmanlike manner,
      with due diligence and dispatch, in accordance with good oilfield practice,
      and
      in compliance with applicable law and regulation, but in no event shall BP
      have
      any liability to Company for losses sustained or liabilities or obligations
      incurred except such as may result from BP’s gross negligence or willful
      misconduct.

    

    5.4 Except
      as
      otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, BP shall promptly pay and
      discharge expenses incurred in drilling the Initial Well and each Substitute
      Well and Additional Well pursuant to this Agreement and shall charge Company
      with its proportionate shares upon the expense basis provided in Exhibit “C” to
      the Operating Agreement, whether or not such Operating Agreement has been
      executed by the Parties. BP shall keep an accurate record, in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles, showing expenses incurred and charges
      and credits made and received. 

    

    5.5 When
      and
      if the Initial Well is drilled to the Objective Zone and successfully Completed
      as a well capable of producing oil and/or gas in paying quantities, BP and
      Company shall enter into an operating agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
“F”
(the “Operating Agreement”) covering the Contract Area. The Operating Agreement
      shall be executed contemporaneously with the Partial Assignment but shall be
      effective on October 1, 2006. The Operating Agreement shall apply to all
      Additional Wells. In
      the event of any conflict between the Operating Agreement and this Agreement,
      this Agreement shall govern.

    

    5.6 Unless
      Company elects by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to BP either to take in
      kind or to separately dispose of its share of oil, gas and other hydrocarbons,
      BP shall in good faith, to the extent it can do so, cause Company’s share of
      production from the Initial Well and each Substitute Well and Additional Wells
      to be marketed and sold to either a Third Party or to an Affiliate of BP in
      a
      commercially reasonable manner, which terms shall not be less than on the same
      terms and conditions as BP’s share of production from such wells are sold. It is
      recognized by the Parties that BP, or its predecessor, has provided at its
      cost
      or made arrangements with Third Parties to provide certain facilities beyond
      the
      wellhead (the “Plants”) needed for producing, storing, separating, gathering,
      treating, processing and delivering production from the Initial Well and each
      Substitute Well and Additional Well. It is agreed that BP will continue to
      make
      the Plants (as they or any contractual arrangements related thereto may be
      modified, changed or upgraded) proportionately available to handle BP, Company
      and Third Party production from the Contract Area. It is understood that a
      proportionate share of the cost of maintaining and operating the Plants,
      including depreciation or rental in lieu of depreciation and actual Third Party
      costs, whether on a cash fee basis or on a retained volume basis, will be
      allocated to the Parties on a “throughput” basis (being that portion of such
      costs relating to the production volumes from the Initial Well or, if drilled,
      any Substitute Well or Additional Well, as each may bear to the total production
      volumes handled by the Plants, including any Third Party or BP volumes not
      produced from the Initial Well or, if drilled, any Substitute Well or Additional
      Well). Nothing
      herein shall be construed to impart, transfer or convey any ownership interest
      in the Plants to Company.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

       

    

    

    5.7 If
      any
      lands within the Contract Area (other than those lands covered by the Leases)
      contain an interest which is unleased or leased to a Third Party and such
      interest must be carried in order to conduct operations consistent with this
      Agreement (such Third Party interest being a “Carried Interest”), Company shall
      bear eight and three quarters percent (8.75%) of the Carried Interests in order
      to conduct such operations.

    

    5.8 At
      all
      times while this Agreement is in effect, Company shall carry insurance of the
      types and in the minimum amounts set forth in Exhibit “G”. All such insurance
      set forth in Exhibit “G” shall specifically name BP as an additional insured or
      provide that the insurer shall waive all rights of subrogation against BP.

      one

      pursuant to the provisions hereof. 

    

    6.2 Notwithstanding
      Section 6.1, if the Initial Well is drilled to the Objective Zone and
      successfully Completed as a well capable of producing oil and/or gas in paying
      quantities, this Agreement shall continue for so long as the Operating Agreement
      remains in full force and effect.

      Notwithstanding Section 6.1, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
      effect for so long as Company participates in the drilling of a Substitute
      Well
      in accordance with Section 3.2. 

    

    6.4 Notwithstanding
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Company earns a Partial Interest
      in the Initial Well and the BP Interests pursuant to Section 4.2, the Parties
      shall first enter into an operating agreement in the form of the Operating
      Agreement, except that the contract area of such operating agreement shall
      be
      limited to the Partial Interest, prior to termination of this
      Agreement.

    

    6.5 Notwithstanding
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the expiration or termination of
      this Agreement shall not release any of the Parties from any obligation or
      liability which accrued prior to such expiration or termination (including
      the
      costs to plug and abandon the Initial Well and any Substitute Wells and
      Additional Wells) or which, by the terms hereof, is intended to survive such
      expiration or termination, including but not limited to Articles I, X, XI,

    ASSIGNMENT;

    7.1
       The
      rights and obligations created by this Agreement may not be assigned by Company,
      in whole or in part, without first obtaining BP’s written consent under this
      Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If BP consents to
      an
      assignment by Company of all or part of its rights and obligations under this
      Agreement, it is nevertheless understood and agreed that any such consent shall
      not relieve Company of its primary liability for the performance of and
      compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, and shall not have the effect
      nor be construed to have the effect of waiving this limitation as to future,
      further, or additional assignments. Any assignment of the rights and obligations
      under this Agreement by Company without the consent of BP shall be voidable
      by
      BP.

    

    7.2 Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in any other agreement, including the Operating
      Agreement, should Company desire to sell all or any part of its interest in
      the
      Initial Well, the BP Interests, or any Substitute Well or Additional Well,
      Company shall promptly give written notice to BP, with full information
      concerning its proposed disposition, which shall include the name and address
      of
      the prospective transferee (who must be ready, willing and able to purchase),
      the purchase price, a legal description sufficient to identify the property,
      and
      all other terms of the offer. BP shall then have an optional prior right, for
      a
      period of fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice, to purchase
      for the stated consideration on the same terms and conditions the interest
      which
      Company proposes to sell.

    9.1 If
      either
      Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out
      its
      obligations under this Agreement, upon such Party giving notice and reasonably
      full particulars of such Force Majeure in writing to the other Party within
      a
      reasonable time after the occurrence of the cause relied upon, the obligations
      of such Party, upon giving said notice, so far as such Party’s ability to
      perform such obligations are materially affected by such Force Majeure, shall
      be
      suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, and the cause
      of
      the Force Majeure as far as possible shall be remedied with all reasonable
      dispatch. The term "Force Majeure" means one or a set of circumstances such
      as
      an act of God, strike, lockout or other industrial disturbances, act of the
      public enemy, war, terrorism, blockade, riot, lightning, fire, storm, freezing,
      flood, explosion, governmental action, delay, restraint or inaction (whether
      said government's jurisdiction or authority be actual or assumed), including
      without limitation, governmental action or inaction relating to the permitting
      of wells, and any other cause, circumstance or condition (except financial)
      whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not reasonably within the
      control of the Party claiming Force Majeure. The above requirement that any
      Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require
      the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty by acceding to
      the
      demands of opponents therein when such course is inadvisable in the discretion
      of the Party claiming Force Majeure.
