With regard to the foregoing, we have agreed as follows:

Ignis shall carry 100% of all costs to drill, test and complete each well drilled on the Subject Leases. For all purposes herein, one hundred percent of the working interest shall be equal to a seventy percent of one hundred percent (70%x100%) net revenue interest in and to the Subject Leases.

2. Xxxxxx represents and warrants that Blue Ridge Energy, Inc. (“Blue Ridge”) has acquired or has access to certain geological and geophysical data and information and that Blue Ridge, for so long as this agreement is in effect and upon written notice from Ignis, will conduct seismic, geological and geophysical evaluations and other services on the lands and mineral estate of the Subject Leases at the sole cost and expense of Ignis . Such services when required by Ignis shall be performed by Blue Ridge with the understanding and agreement on a non-exclusive basis.

3. The purchase price for the acquisition of the interests herein described shall be $ 375,000.00, evidenced by a promissory note (“ Note”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. The Note shall be delivered to Xxxxxx by Ignis on before April 22, 2005 at the offices of Xxxxxx or such other location as Xxxxxx and Ignis shall agree (“Closing”). At Closing, Xxxxxx shall deliver Assignments and other instruments transferring title to the Subject Leases, such Assignments to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. In the event of a conflict in the terms and conditions of the Note and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

4. In the event that Xxxxx does not commence actual drilling operations on the first well on or before September 30, 2005, Ignis shall, without notice from Xxxxxx, deliver assignments of the interests acquired by Ignis hereunder to Xxxxxx, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on Xxxxxx and Ignis.
