CARRY AND PAYMENT

 

2.1         Drilling
of Carry Wells.

 

(a)          AEE
shall Drill and Complete six oil and gas wells (each a “Carry Well”) in which NEGP shall participate pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, at the Approved Drilling Locations within the Property. AEE shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to drill the Carry Wells in the order set forth in the Drilling Schedule and within one year from the Effective Date;
provided AEE may drill a Carry Well in a different order from time to time if AEE deems, in its good faith judgment (and
with prior notice to NEGP), such a variation is necessary or prudent due to a change in circumstances affecting conduct, timing
or costs of drilling operations. If AEE does not commence operations to Drill and Complete a certain Carry Well within one year
from the Effective Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NEGP shall not be required to participate
in, or pay any Costs of Drilling and Completing with respect to, such Carry Well and the Carry Obligation (as hereinafter defined)
for such Carry Well shall cease to apply.

 

    	-4-

    	 

    

 

(b)          If
AEE is unable to secure any permits from a Governmental Authority, or any consents from a Third Party, required for AEE to perform
any of its obligations hereunder, with respect to any particular Carry Well (including any permits required for the drilling or
operation of any Carry Wells, and any consents required to transfer the properties, rights and interests earned by NEGP hereunder),
AEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate an alternate drilling location (which alternate drilling location shall
not already be an Approved Drilling Location and which location is acceptable to NEGP). If AEE is not able to locate such an alternate
drilling location, or NEGP does not agree with such alternate drilling location, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, AEE shall not be required to drill, and NEGP shall not be required to participate in, or pay any Costs of Drilling
and Completing with respect to, such Carry Well and the Carry Obligation for such Carry Well shall cease to apply.

 

(c)          AEE
shall Drill and Complete each Carry Well with due diligence, reasonable dispatch and in accordance with good oil field practice
and all applicable Laws. Furthermore, if AEE is unable to act as operator with respect to the drilling and completion of a Carry
Well, then NEGP shall not be required to participate in, or pay any Costs of Drilling and Completing with respect to, such Carry
Well and the Carry Obligation for such Carry Well shall cease to apply.

 

(d)          NEGP
shall not be required to pay the Carry Obligation for any Carry Well with respect to any operation to sidetrack or deepen such
Carry Well, or to recomplete such Carry Well in a shallower zone, unless NEGP elects, at its sole discretion, to participate in
such operation under the Joint Operating Agreement, in which case, if AEE also elects to participate in such operation, the Carry
Obligation shall apply to such operation.

 

2.2         Costs
of Carry Wells. NEGP agrees to be responsible for and pay 100% of AEE’s share of the Costs of Drilling and Completing
each Carry Well Drilled and Completed hereunder (with respect to each Carry Well, the “Carry Obligation”);
provided that (i) the Carry Obligation with respect to each Carry Well shall be capped when the NEGP Total Costs for such
Carry Well reach 120% of the NEGP Total Costs as estimated in the Carry Well AFE costs for the applicable Carry Well (the “Carry
Cap”), (ii) all Costs of Drilling and Completing such Carry Well above such Carry Cap shall be borne by each Party in
accordance with its actual working interest in the applicable Carry Well; (iii) all other costs associated with such Carry Well
that are not Costs of Drilling and Completing such Carry Well, including all lease operating expenses for such Carry Well, all
costs associated with such Carry Well that are incurred after the Commencement Date for such Carry Well and, if applicable, any
Joint Costs for such Carry Well, shall be borne by each Party in accordance with its working interest in the applicable Carry
Well, in each case notwithstanding any Earned Wellbore Interest in favor of NEGP and/or any Wellbore Assignment from AEE to NEGP
pursuant to an Earned Wellbore Interest; (iv) if any working interest owner other than the Parties does not consent to operations
related to any Carry Well, any costs relating to the non-consenting working interest owner’s share shall not be subject
to the carry and shall be borne by each Party in proportion to its working interest share in such Carry Well, notwithstanding
any Earned Wellbore Interest in favor of NEGP and/or any Wellbore Assignment from AEE to NEGP pursuant to an Earned Wellbore Interest;
and (v) the Carry Obligation shall not extend to any Third Parties participating in such Carry Well. For the avoidance of doubt,
NEGP shall pay its share of costs associated with the NEGP Working Interest Share in each Carry Well in accordance with the Joint
Operating Agreement.

2.3         Payment
of Costs of Drilling and Completing each Carry Well.

 

(a)          AEE
shall provide NEGP with a Carry Well AFE for each Carry Well at least 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated spud date for
such Carry Well. In connection with any Carry Well AFE, AEE agrees to provide any additional information regarding the Carry Well
that is reasonably requested by NEGP.

 

(b)          Subject
to Section 2.2, NEGP shall pay AEE, in its capacity as operator of such Carry Well, the AEE Carried Interest share and
the NEGP Working Interest share of the Costs of Drilling and Completing each Carry Well within 10 Business Days following receipt
of a (i) Carry Well AFE, or (ii) any invoice relating to the Costs of Drilling and Completing such Carry Well. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b), the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Carry Well
AFE for the first Carry Well (as set forth in Exhibit B) has been delivered to NEGP prior to the date hereof and, within
10 Business Days of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by both Parties, NEGP shall pay AEE, in its capacity as operator

hereof) of the Costs of Drilling and Completing such Carry Well, a copy of such Carry Well AFE is attached as Exhibit B-1
hereto.

 

(c)          In
the event NEGP fails to pay any Costs of Drilling and Completing pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and such payment is not disputed
by NEGP in accordance with Section 8.19 (or if such non-payment continues following the date of resolution of any such
dispute against NEGP, then from such date of resolution), such delinquent amounts shall bear interest until paid at the lesser
of 10% per annum or the maximum rate chargeable by Law. If NEGP fails to cure any such nonpayment within 20 days of receiving
written notice of default by AEE and such payment is not disputed by NEGP in accordance with Section 8.19 (or if such non-payment
continues for 20 days following the date of resolution of any such dispute against NEGP, then after such 20-day time period),
AEE may, at its sole discretion and upon notice of election to NEGP, elect any one or more of the following:

 

(i)          terminate
this Agreement;

 

(ii)         withhold

(a)          For
any Carry Well, at any time following the Commencement Date for such Carry Well until Payout for such Carry Well, NEGP shall have
the option, at its sole discretion and in lieu of receiving a Non-Assignment Repayment for a Carry Well, to require AEE to deliver
Wellbore Assignment(s) for such Carry Well, as follows (the “Assignment Option”):

 

(i)          Within

(b)          Each
Wellbore Assignment shall be made subject to the terms and conditions of any existing operating agreement and any applicable pooling
or communitization agreement with a third party; provided as between AEE and NEGP, in the event of a conflict between the
terms and conditions of any existing operating agreement, including the Joint Operating Agreement, or any applicable pooling or

to deliver, and NEGP shall have no further right to receive, any Non-Assignment Repayment from any Carry Well covered by such
Wellbore Assignment, pursuant to Section 2.4 or otherwise, except as NEGP is entitled to production proceeds pursuant to
such Wellbore Assignment.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
any Wellbore Assignment made in accordance with this Section 2.5, AEE shall remain responsible under the Joint Operating
Agreement for all working interest expenses set forth in Section 2.2(ii) – (iv) to the extent attributable to the
working interest covered by such Wellbore Assignment, provided that NEGP shall be entitled to all AEE Proceeds of Production associated
with such assigned interest.

 

2.6         NEGP
Remedies for Non-Payment. In the event AEE fails to pay to NEGP any Non-Assignment Repayment amounts pursuant to Section
2.4 and such payment is not disputed in accordance with Section 8.19 (or if such non-payment continues following the
date of resolution of any such dispute against AEE, then from such date of resolution), such delinquent amounts shall bear interest
until paid at the lesser of 10% per annum or the maximum rate chargeable by Law. If AEE fails to cure any such nonpayment within

Section 2.5 upon written exercise of the Assignment Option, and such payment or assignment is not disputed by AEE in accordance
with Section 8.19 (or if such non-payment or failed assignment continues for 20 days following the date of resolution of

and Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes NEGP’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance

and other information that NEGP deems necessary or advisable to evaluate an investment in the Earned Wellbore Interests, and has
made its own independent examination, investigation, analysis and evaluation of an investment in the Earned Wellbore Interests,

adequate.

8.19       Dispute
Resolution.

related to the interpretation of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), must be resolved in accordance with this Section
8.19, through the use of binding arbitration administered by a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as supplemented to the extent necessary
to determine any procedural appeal questions by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code).

 

(b)          In
the event of a Dispute, the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to resolve such Dispute through negotiations between (i)
senior executives of the applicable Parties, or (ii) delegated project managers of the applicable Parties with authority to resolve
the applicable Dispute.

 

    	-15-

    	 

    

 

(c)          If,
after thirty (30) days following commencement of negotiations by initial notice of a Party of intent to negotiate a Dispute in
accordance with Section 8.19(b), the Parties have been unable to resolve the applicable Dispute through such negotiation,
arbitration of a Dispute may be initiated by a Party (a “Claimant”) serving written notice on the AAA and the
other Party (“Respondent”) that the Claimant has referred the Dispute to binding arbitration. Claimant’s
notice initiating binding arbitration must describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute and the facts and circumstances
relating thereto and identify the arbitrator Claimant has appointed. Respondent shall respond to Claimant within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator Respondent has appointed. All arbitrators must be neutral
parties who have never been officers, directors or employees of the Parties or any of their affiliates, and who have not performed
any work for either of the Parties or its affiliates within the preceding ten (10) year period. Arbitrators must have not less
than seven (7) years of experience as a lawyer in the energy industry with experience in exploration and production issues. The
two (2) arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the second arbitrator has been appointed.
If either the Respondent fails to name its Party-appointed arbitrator within the time permitted, or if the two (2) arbitrators
are unable to agree on a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date the second arbitrator has been appointed, then
the missing arbitrator(s) shall be selected by the AAA from its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel or the Center for Public
Resources Panel of Distinguished Neutrals, giving due regard to the selection criteria set forth above. The AAA shall select the
missing arbitrator(s) not later than ninety (90) days from initiation of arbitration.

 

(d)          The
hearing shall be conducted in Denver, Colorado.

 

(e)          The
arbitrators may not grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages.

 

(f)           In
any action under this Agreement, the arbitration and court costs and attorneys’ fees of the Parties shall be borne in the
manner determined by the arbitrators.

and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Assets”): (1) the [] Well, located in the [] of Section
[], T. [], R. [], Divide County, North Dakota, as further described on Exhibit A (the “Well”), (2) the associated
wellbore and all oil, gas, well gas, casinghead gas, condensate, and all components of any of them (including liquids and products

    	S.4.12-1FIRST AMENDMENT TO CARRY AGREEMENT

 

This First Amendment
to Carry Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of July 15, 2012, but effective as of August 1, 2012, is between
American Eagle Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“AEEC”), and American Eagle Energy Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (“AEEI” and together with AEEC, “AEE”), each of whose address is 2549
W. Main Street, Suite 202, Littleton, Colorado 80120, and NextEra Energy Gas Producing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“NEGP”), whose address is 601 Travis Street, Suite 1900, Houston, Texas 77002. AEE and NEGP are sometimes
referred to herein as a “Party” or the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

A.AEE and NEGP are
parties to a Carry Agreement dated as of April 16, 2012 (the “Agreement”).

 

B.AEE and NEGP desire
to amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

 

In consideration of the
mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Parties agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.1Defined
Terms and References. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
References in this Amendment to Sections shall mean Sections of the Agreement.

 

1.2Amendments
to Agreement.

 

(a)Four additional
oil and gas wells shall be added to the Agreement as “Carry Wells.” The Drilling Schedule to the Agreement is amended
and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit B attached to this Amendment.

 

(b)Section
2.1(a) shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

AEE shall
Drill and Complete ten oil and gas wells (each a “Carry Well”) in which NEGP shall participate pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, at the Approved Drilling Locations within the Property. AEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to drill the Carry Wells in the order set forth in the Drilling Schedule and within one year from the Effective Date (except
for Wells #7, 8, 9 & 10 on the Drilling Schedule, which AEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to drill on or before
April 1, 2013); provided AEE may drill a Carry Well in a different order from time to time if AEE deems, in its good faith
judgment (and with prior notice to NEGP), such a variation is necessary or prudent due to a change in circumstances affecting
conduct, timing or costs of drilling operations. AEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a second drilling rig
as soon as possible after August 1, 2012 in order to drill Wells #7, 8, 9 & 10 on the Drilling Schedule. If AEE does not commence
operations to Drill and Complete a certain Carry Well within one year from the Effective Date (or, for Wells #7, 8, 9 & 10
on the Drilling Schedule, on or before April 1, 2013), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NEGP shall
not be required to participate in, or pay any Costs of Drilling and Completing with respect to, such Carry Well and the Carry
Obligation (as hereinafter defined) for such Carry Well shall cease to apply.

 

    	 

    	 

    

1.3Incorporation.
The other provisions of the Agreement, to the extent not amended hereby, shall be incorporated in this Amendment and deemed to
be a part hereof. This Amendment shall constitute a part of the Agreement, and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance
therewith.

 

1.4Representations.
Each Party represents to the other Parties that its representations contained in Sections 4.1 to 4.3 and 5.1 to 5.3 of the Agreement,
as applicable are true and accurate as of the date of this Amendment, and that such representations are deemed to be given or
repeated by each party, as the case may be, on the date of this Amendment.

 

1.5
Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors
and assignees. Except as specifically provided for in this Amendment: (a) the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,
(b) this Amendment shall not modify or affect the terms, conditions or provisions of the Agreement, and (c) nothing
contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a waiver of any such terms, conditions or provisions, or as
a waiver of any other term, condition or provision.
