The Holloman Corporations further acknowledge and agree that the Fee will be used exclusively to offset transaction expenses and the costs associated with the planning and support of work area clearance (including permits, environmental assessments, and field work) and the acquisition of seismic data on the Licenses.

Within ten Business Days of the Effective Date, Brandenburg shall issue to HEC 1,000,000 common shares (the “Shares”) of Brandenburg, it being acknowledged and agreed that such Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and applicable securities laws.

The Current Working Interest Holders hereby grant to Brandenburg the right and option to earn an undivided 44% Working Interest in each of the Licenses (the “Farm-In Interest”). To earn the Farm-In Interest in the Licenses, Brandenburg shall complete the following “Earning Obligations” during the Earning Period:

 

With respect to PEL 112 –

	
(a)  

	
Brandenburg shall pay, and has paid as of the Effective Date, AUD$600,000 into the trust account of Holloman’s solicitors, which shall be transferred to Holloman immediately to be used by Holloman in initiating a 3D seismic acquisition program covering approximately 125 km2 on PEL 112 (the “PEL 112 Seismic Program”);

 

	
(b)  

	
On or before September 20, 2011, Brandenburg shall pay to Holloman AUD$2,900,000, by wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft, which will be used to continue and complete the PEL 112 Seismic Program; and

On or before September 20, 2011, Brandenburg shall pay to Holloman AUD$4,500,000, by wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft which, upon completion of the PEL 112 Seismic Program, will be used to conduct a three (3) well drill program on PEL 112 (the “PEL 112 Drilling Program”).

(The Earning Obligations listed in Articles 2.3(a) to 2.3(c) are collectively referred to as the “PEL 112 Earning Obligations”.)

With respect to PEL 444 –

	
(d)

Page 4 of 15

  

 

	
(f)  

	
On or before April 30, 2012, Brandenburg shall pay to Holloman AUD$3,050,000, by wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft, which will be used to continue and complete the PEL 444 Seismic Program; and

	
(g)  

	
On or before May 31, 2012, Brandenburg shall pay to Holloman AUD$4,500,000, by wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft which, upon completion of the PEL 444 Seismic Program, will be used to conduct a three (3) well drill program on PEL 444 (the “PEL 444 Drilling Program”).

2.4  

	
In the event any well drilled as part of the PEL 112 Drilling Program or the PEL 444 Drilling Program shall test positively for commercially viable production of oil or gas, Brandenburg shall also pay (in addition to the AUD$4,500,000 contributed under Articles 2.3(c) and 2.3(g) respectively) 50% of the total aggregate completion costs respecting such well(s) rather than its 44% Working Interest amount of the costs. For greater certainty, this obligation to pay of Brandenburg’ is not an Earning Obligation.

	
2.5  

	
The Parties agree that amounts, if any, incurred in relation to the Licenses in excess of the Brandenburg Earning Obligations during the Earning Period related to production, seismic work area clearance, the PEL 112 Seismic Program, the PEL 112 Drilling Program, the PEL 444 Seismic Program and the PEL 444 Drilling Program, shall be borne by Brandenburg and the Current Working Interest Holders in accordance with their Working Interest percentages calculated as though Brandenburg had successfully completed its Earning Obligations in the Licenses, as set forth in Article 3.1.

	
2.6  

	
During the Earning Period, each of the Parties agrees that, notwithstanding anything in the JOA, Holloman and Brandenburg, or their assignee(s), shall act as Joint-Operators of the Licenses (and that if requested by either Holloman or Brandenburg, each Party shall take all actions in its power to appoint Holloman and Brandenburg as Joint-Operators), with respect to all exploration and development work on the Licenses contemplated by this Agreement and the JOA, and accordingly Holloman and Brandenburg, or their assignee(s), shall in their joint discretion and mutual agreement determine and carry out all exploration and development work to be conducted on the Licenses from the Effective Date until this Agreement is terminated, including without limitation the seismic work area clearance, the PEL 112 Seismic Program, the PEL 112 Drilling Program, the PEL 444 Seismic Program and the PEL 444 Drilling Program.

	
2.7  

	
The Parties agree to establish an escrow account for each License (the “Earn-In Net Revenue Accounts”) into which 44% of revenues, net of mutually agreed expenses, from operations conducted pursuant to the Earning Obligations, will be deposited. In the event that Brandenburg successfully completes its Earning Obligations on either License, it shall receive all funds deposited within the Earn-In Net Revenue Account established for that License. In the event Brandenburg does not successfully complete its Earning Obligations on a License, all funds within the Earn-In Net Revenue Account established for that License shall be returned to the Current Working Interest Holders in accordance with their current Working Interest percentages.

	
2.8  

	
Brandenburg covenants that upon completion of either its PEL 112 Earning Obligations or PEL 444 Earning Obligations, it will become a party to the JOA as a holder of the Farm-In Interest with respect to the relevant License, and will:

	
  

	
(a)

	
execute and deliver a Deed in accordance with clause 17.3(b) of the JOA; and

	
  

	
(b)

	
to the extent of its Farm-In Interest, observe, perform, discharge, and be bound by all costs, obligations and liabilities under the JOA which result from activities carried out on such License,

(a)

	
carry out that portion of the operations set out in Article 2.3 sufficient to satisfy all of Holloman’s earning obligations under the Existing Farmin Agreement; and

	
  

	
(b)

	
use its best commercial efforts to carry out the balance of the operations which are set out in Article 2.3.

 

ARTICLE 3

Transfer of Farm-In Interest on the Licenses

	
3.1  

	
Upon completion of the PEL 112 Earning Obligations and/or the PEL 444 Earning Obligations, Brandenburg shall have earned the Farm-In Interest in the relevant License and the right to have such Farm-In Interest  transferred to Brandenburg from the Current Working Interest Holders in accordance with the agreed Working Interest Contribution Percentages from each of the Current Working Interest Holders as follows:

3.3

7.1  

	
Each Party agrees that all Confidential Information obtained hereunder shall be the exclusive property of the Parties and shall not be publicly disclosed or used other than for the activities contemplated hereunder, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction, or with the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Where a Party releases Confidential Information based on a requirement at law or under the rules and regulations of any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction it will deliver a copy concurrently to the other Party.

 

	
7.2  

	
Consent to disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to Article 7.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld where a Party wishes to disclose any such information to a third party for the purpose of arranging financing for its contributions hereunder or for the purpose of selling its interest in the Licenses, provided that such third party gives its undertaking to the Parties that any such information not theretofore publicly disclosed shall be kept confidential and not disclosed to others.

 

	
7.3  

	
Except as provided for in Article 7.1, a party hereto (the “Issuing Party”) will not issue any press release concerning the Licenses or this Agreement without first delivering a copy of the proposed release to each of the other parties (each, a “Commenting Party”) for comment, and if such comment is not forthcoming from each Commenting Party within two Business Days of such delivery, such press release may be issued without the comment or consent of such Commenting Party, but the Issuing Party will deliver a copy of the press release to such Commenting Party concurrently with its release by the Issuing Party. If a Commenting Party does provide comments on a press release, then the Issuing Party and such Commenting Party, each acting reasonably, will try to agree on a mutually acceptable press release within one Business Day. If the Parties are unable to so agree, then the Issuing Party will be entitled to issue the press release as it sees fit, but will note in the body of the press release that such Commenting Party does not endorse or support the contents of the press release.

 

	
7.4  

	
No Party shall be liable to any other for the fraudulent or negligent disclosure of Confidential Information by any of its employees, servants or agents, provided that such Party has taken reasonable steps to ensure the preservation of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information.

8.5  

	
Each Party agrees that its failure to comply with the restrictions set out in this Article would constitute an injury and damage to the other Parties impossible to measure monetarily and, in the event of any such failure each of the other Parties shall, in addition and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies at law or in equity, be entitled to injunctive relief restraining or enjoining any sale of any interest or Assignment of any rights under this Agreement save in accordance with the provisions of this Article, and any Party intending to make a sale or making a sale contrary to the provisions of this Article hereby waives any defense it might have in law to such injunctive relief.
