Section 5.2 Right of First Refusal.

Prior to any proposed transfer (a “Proposed Transfer”) of Offered Units, the Offering Unitholder shall deliver to the Non-Offering Unitholder (with a copy to the Company) a written irrevocable bona fide offer to sell the Offered Units to the Non-Offering Unitholder stating the number of Units to be sold, the price and terms thereof (which shall not include any warranties or indemnities (other than capacity and authority) from the transferee) and the identity of the Prospective Transferee (a “Transfer Notice”).

(b) The Non-Offering Unitholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice within which to elect to purchase any or all such Offered Units on the terms offered to the Prospective Transferee in the Transfer Notice, which election shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by the electing Non-Offering Unitholder to the Offering Unitholder (with a copy to the Company and the Non-Offering Unitholder). The last day of such 30-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or price offered by the Offering Unitholder to the Non-Offering Unitholder during such 30-day period shall be set forth in a new Transfer Notice, which new Transfer Notice shall trigger a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election to purchase the Offered Units must be in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice then in effect and otherwise must be unconditional (except that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). The Non-Offering Unitholder that elects to purchase the Offered Units pursuant to this Clause 5.2(b) is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Offeree.”

(c) The consideration for such Offered Units shall be paid in full in cash, or in such other form as may be agreed between the Offering Unitholder and the Electing Offeree.

(d) The completion of each such purchase shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Cut-Off Date, or if such a day is not a Business Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Completion Date”). The Scheduled Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the Offering Unitholder and the Electing Offeree, and in any case shall be extended to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals for the Transfer of such Offered Units). On or before the relevant Scheduled Completion Date, the Offering Unitholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Units to be purchased on such Scheduled Completion Date to the Electing Offeree against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered Units in accordance with the provisions in this Clause 5.2.

(e) Upon any election of the right to purchase such Offered Units by the Electing Offeree, the Offering Unitholder and such Electing Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Unitholder has not exercised its right to purchase all the Offered Units by the end of the Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Unitholder shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such Offered Units, and the Offering Unitholder shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Cut-Off Date.

(g) If the Electing Offeree fails to complete the purchase of all of the Offered Units on the Scheduled Completion Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Transfer Notice and such failure is not remedied within seven (7) days of the Scheduled Completion Date, then the Offering Unitholder may sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Units to the Prospective Transferee not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Scheduled Completion Date.

(h) Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to either Clause 5.2(f) or Clause 5.2(g) shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the price per Unit) no more favorable to such Prospective Transferee than those set forth in the applicable Transfer Notice received by the Non-Offering Unitholder, and the Offering Unitholder must sell all of the Offered Units and not some only.

(i) If all of the Offered Units are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period specified in Clause 5.2(f) or Clause 5.2(g), then the rights of the Non-Offering Unitholder under this Clause 5.2 shall be fully restored and reinstated as if such offer had never been made and the Offering Unitholder must again follow the procedures set forth in this Clause 5.2 prior to the sale of any of its Units to any Person, except for Transfers otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Tag-Along Right.

(a) If at any time a Unitholder (a “Tag-Along Seller”) proposes to Transfer Units to a Prospective Transferee (other than as permitted under Clause 5.8) that, when the aggregated Offered Units are no less than 30% of the then total issued and outstanding Units of the Company, such Tag-Along Seller shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the other Unitholder (a “Tag-Along Notice”) at least thirty days prior to the completion of such Transfer and shall cause the Prospective Transferee to make an offer for the same number of the Offered Units of the other Unitholder (or all of such other Unitholder’s Units, if less) on the same terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer (a “Tag-Along Offer”). The Tag-Along Notice shall describe in reasonable details the Proposed Transfer including without limitation the class and number of Units to be sold, the price per Unit and terms thereof and identity of the Prospective Transferee and attach a copy of the Tag-Along Offer.

(b) The Non-Offering Unitholder shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of a Tag-Along Offer within which to elect to sell up to the same number of the Offered Units of the Tag-Along Seller on the same terms offered by the Prospective Transferee in the Tag-Along Offer, which election shall be made by an irrevocable written notice delivered by the electing Non-Offering Unitholder to the Tag-Along Seller and Prospective Transferee (with a copy to the Company). The last day of such 30-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Tag-Along Cut-Off Date”. Any new terms, conditions or price offered by the Prospective Transferee to the Tag-Along Seller during such 30-day period shall require a new Tag-Along Offer and Tag-Along Notice, which new Tag-Along Notice shall trigger a new 30-day period as provided above. Any election by the Non-Offering Unitholder to sell its Units to the Prospective Transferee must be in accordance with the terms of the Tag-Along Offer and Tag-Along Notice then in effect and otherwise must be unconditional (except that such purchase may be subject to the prior receipt of statutory or regulatory approvals necessary to complete such purchase). The Non-Offering Unitholder that elects to sell Units pursuant to this Clause 5.3(b) is hereinafter referred to as an Electing Tag-Along Offeree, and such Units shall also be deemed “Offered Units.”

(c) The consideration for such Offered Units shall be paid in full in cash, or in such other form as may be agreed between the Prospective Transferee and the Electing Tag-Along Offeree.

(d) The completion of each such sale by the Tag-Along Seller and the Electing Tag-Along Offeree shall take place on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Tag-Along Cut-Off Date, or if such a day is not a Business Day, then on the next such Business Day (the “Scheduled Tag-Along Completion Date”). The Scheduled Tag-Along Completion Date may be amended upon the mutual agreement of the Tag-Along Seller, the Electing Tag-Along Offeree, and the Prospective Transferee, and in any case shall be extended to the extent necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including obtaining any necessary governmental approvals for the Transfer of such Offered Units). On or before the relevant Scheduled Tag-Along Completion Date, the Tag-Along Seller and the Electing Tag-Along Offeree shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Offered Units to be sold to the Prospective Transferee on such Scheduled Tag-Along Completion Date against payment in full of the consideration for such Offered Units in accordance with the provisions in this Clause 5.3.

(e) Upon any election of the right to sell such Offered Units by the Electing Tag-Along Offeree, the Tag-Along Seller and such Electing Tag-Along Offeree shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure any approvals required in connection therewith.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Offering Unitholder has not exercised its right to sell Units by the end of the Tag-Along Cut-Off Date, then the Non-Offering Unitholder shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to sell such Units under this Clause 5.3 with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Tag-Along Notice, and the Tag-Along Seller shall be free to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Units to the Prospective Transferee substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Tag-Along Cut-Off Date.

(g) Any sale to a Prospective Transferee pursuant to Clause 5.3(f) shall be on terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the price per Unit) no more favorable to such Tag-Along Seller than those set forth in the applicable Tag-Along Notice received by the Non-Offering Unitholder, and the Tag-Along Seller must sell all of the Offered Units and not some only.

(h) If all of the Offered Units are not sold to any Person within the 60-day period specified in Clause 5.3(f), then the rights of the Non-Offering Unitholder under this Clause 5.3 shall be fully restored and reinstated as if such offer had never been made and the Tag-Along Seller must again follow the procedures set forth in this Clause 5.3 prior to the sale of any of its Units to any Person, except for Transfers otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Certain Additional Covenants

As soon as reasonably possible immediately after the closing of PEDCO’s acquisition of the Niobrara Asset pursuant to the Niobrara PSA, PEDCO shall transfer and assign all right, title and interest to 62.50% of the Designated Interests (as defined in the Niobrara PSA) free and clear of any charges, encumbrances and liens (save for a security interest held by the Sellers (as defined under the Niobrara PSA) securing PEDCO’s obligation to issue equity thereto as required under the Niobrara PSA, which obligation does not transfer to or obligate CONDOR), including corresponding proportionate operating costs and expenses, liabilities and obligations (the “62.50% Interest”), to CONDOR, and, as soon as possible as permitted by applicable law and the procedures under the applicable contracts, PEDCO shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in the 62.50% Interest to CONDOR. Notwithstanding the consummation of the full legal transfer of the 62.50% Interest to CONDOR as provided herein following the closing of PEDCO’s acquisition of the Niobrara Asset, immediately upon such closing CONDOR shall have full contractual right, title and interest to such 62.50% Interest, including corresponding proportionate operating costs and expenses, liabilities and obligations, and rights to book reserves with respect thereto.

(a) Commencing upon the closing of the acquisition of the Niobrara Asset by PEDCO, MIE shall loan up to US$50,000 cash to CONDOR per calendar month to fund CONDOR’s operations, at the Agreed Interest Rate, for a period of one (1) year, said amount shall be used to pay actual expenses incurred during such one (1) year period, and actual expenses accrued or arising prior to such period in connection with the formation of CONDOR, and legal and technical fees and expenses incurred by CONDOR in connection with the due diligence and acquisition of the Niobrara Asset prior to such closing (not to exceed US$50,000 aggregate cash funded by MIE per month), extendable upon mutual agreement by PEDCO, MIE and CONDOR.

(b) From the Effective Date until the completion of the drilling of the first well in the Niobrara Asset, MIE shall endeavor to secure on behalf of CONDOR a loan(s) at the Agreed Interest Rate, funding or other arrangement for CONDOR to fund the required expenditures and the general and administrative expense of CONDOR, with PEDCO not being required to loan, fund or otherwise arrange for any of CONDOR’s portion of the capital necessary for the drilling of such first well.

(c) As another method to finance the operations of CONDOR without contributing to, changing or otherwise affecting the Unit capital of CONDOR, the Unitholders and the Board, via majority approval, respectively, may require the Unitholders to provide intercompany loans to CONDOR from time to time in amounts proportionate to each Unitholder’s Unitholder Interest (each, a “Cash Call”).

The Unitholder shall be entitled to select the class and series of its equity to be issued, determine the fair market value thereof in good faith, and such equity shall be issued pursuant to an equity purchase agreement(s) acceptable to the issuing Unitholder. In the event the STXRA Agreement provides that CONDOR (or the issuing Unitholder) may elect to either issue equity and/or pay cash in lieu of equity, such Unitholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its obligation to issue equity to STXRA, in whole or in part, through the payment of cash to STXRA of equal value to the unissued equity in lieu of issuance of such equity, as determined in good faith by such issuing Unitholder.

Article 16

Conversion To Corporation

Section 16.1 Approval.

If the Managers approve an IPO with respect to the Company or otherwise approves the conversion of the Company from a limited liability company to a corporation or other limited liability entity (whether or not in connection with an IPO) each Member and Unitholder hereby consents to such public offering or conversion and shall vote for (to the extent it has any voting rights) and raise no objections against such public offering or conversion, and each Member and Unitholder shall take all reasonable actions in connection with the consummation of such public offering or conversion as determined by the Managers.

In connection with a Corporate Conversion, the rights and preferences and vesting conditions, if any, with respect to Units shall be preserved insofar as possible.

Article 17

Dispute Resolution

Section 17.1 Procedure.

The Parties will attempt, in good faith, to resolve or cure all disputes and claims (including any claimed breaches of this Agreement) (each a “Dispute”)) through the Unitholders before initiating any legal action or attempting to enforce any rights or remedies under this Agreement (including termination), at law or in equity (regardless of whether this Article is referenced in the provision of this Agreement which is the basis for any such dispute). If any Unitholder believes that a Dispute under this Agreement has arisen, such Unitholder will give written notice thereof to the other Parties which notice will describe in reasonable detail the basis and specifics of the Dispute. Within five (5) days after delivery of such notice, the Unitholders will meet to discuss and attempt to resolve or cure such Dispute. If the Unitholders are unable to resolve the Dispute within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the matter will be referred to a “Senior Officer” of each Unitholder for resolution or cure. If such Senior Officers are unable to agree on an appropriate cure or resolution within ten (10) days after the matter has been referred to them, the Parties may have recourse to litigation.

Section 17.2 Continued Performance.

Pending final resolution of any Dispute, the Parties will continue to fulfill their respective obligations under this Agreement; provided that the applicable Unitholder may withhold any amount that is the subject of Dispute from any payment otherwise due under this Agreement during the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding. Upon resolution of the Dispute, the Unitholder owing such amount shall promptly pay to the relevant Unitholder any amount determined to be due, together with interest at the greater of the highest legally permitted rate or 10% per annum on the unpaid balance from the date the amount was originally owed until the date paid in full.

Article 18

Default

Section 18.1 Default Notice.

Any Party that fails to pay when due its proportionate share of Cash Calls due pursuant to this Agreement (a “Defaulting Party”) shall be in default under this Agreement (such amount, the “Amount in Default”). The non-Defaulting Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall promptly give written notice of such default to the Defaulting Party (a “Default Notice”). The Amount in Default not paid by the Defaulting Party shall bear interest from the date due until paid in full. Interest will be calculated using the Agreed Interest Rate.

Section 18.2 Payment of Defaulted Accounts.

(a) The Non-Defaulting Party shall pay the Amount in Default owed by the Defaulting Party.

(b) The total of all amounts paid by the Non-Defaulting Party for the Defaulting Party, together with interest accrued on such amounts shall constitute a debt due and owing by the Defaulting Party to the Non-Defaulting Party. The Non-Defaulting Party may satisfy such debt (together with interest) and may accrue an amount equal to the Defaulting Party’s share of any allocation of profits under Article 8.

(c) The Defaulting Party may remedy its default by paying to the Defaulting Party the total amount due, together with interest calculated as provided in Section 18.1, at any time prior to the buy-out of its Units pursuant to Section 18.3(b), if the Buy-Out Option is exercised by the Non-Defaulting Party.

(d) The rights granted to the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for any other rights or remedies which such Non-Defaulting Party may have in law or equity or pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 18.3 Remedies.

(a) During the period in which the Amount in Default remains outstanding and unpaid by the Defaulting Party (the “Default Period”), the Defaulting Party shall not have a right to any allocation of profits under Article 8, which allocations shall vest in and be the property of the Non-Defaulting Party until and to the extent that such Amount in Default that has been paid on behalf of the Defaulting Party by the Non-Defaulting Party pursuant to Section 18.2(a), and accrued interest thereon, shall be repaid to the Non-Defaulting Party.

(b) Each Party grants to each of the other Party the right and option to acquire (the “Buy-Out Option”) all of its Units in the Company for a value (the “Appraised Value”) as determined in this Section 18.4(b) in the event that such Party becomes a Defaulting Party and fails to fully remedy all its defaults by the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day following the date of the Default Notice. If a Defaulting Party fails to remedy its default by the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day following the date of the Default Notice, then, without prejudice to any other rights available to the Non-Defaulting Party to recover its portion of the Amount in Default, plus accrued interest thereon, the Non-Defaulting Party may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise such Buy-Out Option by notice to the Defaulting Party (the “Option Notice”). The Defaulting Party shall be obligated to transfer, pursuant to this Agreement, effective on the date of the Option Notice, all of its Units to the Non-Defaulting Party having exercised the Buy-Out Option (the “Acquiring Party”). The Acquiring Party shall specify in its Option Notice a value for the Defaulting Party’s Units. Within five (5) Business Days of the Option Notice, the Defaulting Party shall (i) notify the Acquiring Party that it accepts the value specified by the Acquiring Party in its Option Notice (in which case this value is the “Appraised Value”); or (ii) seek to resolve the dispute pursuant to Section 17 of this Agreement for determination of the value of its Units (in which case the value determined shall be deemed the “Appraised Value”). If the Defaulting Party fails to so notify the Acquiring Party, then the Defaulting Party shall be deemed to have accepted the Acquiring Party’s proposed value as the Appraised Value. If the valuation of the Defaulting Party’s Units is referred to an independent expert, such expert shall determine the Appraised Value which shall be equal to the fair market value of the Defaulting Party’s Units, less the following: (i) the Amount in Default, plus accrued interest; and (ii) all costs, including the costs of the expert, to obtain such valuation. The Appraised Value shall be paid to the Defaulting Party in four (4) installments, each equal to 25% of the Appraised Value as follows:

(1) the first installment shall be due and payable to the Defaulting Party within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Defaulting Party’s Units are effectively transferred to the Acquiring Party (the “Transfer Date”);

(2) the second installment shall be due and payable to the Defaulting Party within thirty (30) Business Days after the Transfer Date;

(3) the third installment shall be due and payable to the Defaulting Party within sixty (60) Business Days after the Transfer Date; and

(4) the fourth installment shall be due and payable to the Defaulting Party within ninety (90) Business Days after the Transfer Date.

(c) For purposes of Section 18(b), the Defaulting Party shall, without delay following any request from the Acquiring Party, do any act required to be done by applicable law in order to render the transfer of its Units legally valid, including obtaining all governmental consents and approvals, and shall execute any document and take such other actions as may be necessary in order to effect a prompt and valid transfer. The Defaulting Party shall be obligated to promptly remove any liens and encumbrances which may exist on its assigned Units. In the event all required approvals are not timely obtained, the Defaulting Party shall hold the assigned Units in trust for the Non-Defaulting Party who is entitled to receive it. Each Party constitutes and appoints each other Party its true and lawful attorney to execute such instruments and make such filings and applications as may be necessary to make such transfer legally effective and to obtain any necessary consents. Actions under this power of attorney may be taken by any Party individually without the joinder of the others. This power of attorney is irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest. If requested, each Party shall execute a form prescribed by the Board of Managers setting forth this power of attorney in more detail.

(d) The Non-Defaulting Party shall be entitled to recover from the Defaulting Party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs sustained in the collection of amounts owing by the Defaulting Party.

(e) The rights and remedies granted to the Non-Defaulting Party in this Section 18 shall be cumulative, not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to the Non-Defaulting Party, whether at law, in equity or otherwise. Each right and remedy available to the Non-Defaulting Party may be exercised from time to time and so often and in such order as may be considered expedient by the Non-Defaulting Party in its sole discretion.

Section 18.4 No Right of Set Off.

Each Party acknowledges and accepts that a fundamental principle of this Agreement is that each Party pays its share of all amounts due under this Agreement as and when required. Accordingly, any Party which becomes a Defaulting Party undertakes that, in respect of either any exercise by the Non-Defaulting Party of any rights under or the application of any of the provisions of this Section 18, such Party hereby waives any right to raise by way of set off or invoke as a defense, whether in law or equity, any failure by any other Party to pay amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any alleged claim that such Party may have against the Non-Defaulting Party, whether such claim arises under this Agreement or otherwise. Each Party further agrees that the nature and the amount of the remedies granted to the Non-Defaulting Party hereunder are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances.

(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) To the extent that, in the courts of any jurisdiction, any party may claim for itself or its revenues or assets (irrespective of their use or intended use) immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from suit; jurisdiction of any court; relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property; attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise); execution or enforcement of any judgment or other legal process to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings (whether or not claimed), and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself or its revenues or assets such immunity, that party irrevocably agrees not to claim such immunity and irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

Section 19.4 Entire Agreement and Modifications.

The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement creates legal rights and obligations between them even though it contemplates their entry into additional agreements.

Section 19.5 No Waiver of Rights.

No right under this Agreement may be waived by a Unitholder, except pursuant to a writing signed by the Unitholder against which enforcement of the waiver is sought. Without limitation, no failure or delay on the part of any Unitholder in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement, no partial exercise by any Unitholder of any of its rights under this Agreement, and no course of dealing among the Parties, will constitute a waiver of the rights of a Unitholder.

Section 19.6 Severability.
