AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF TERM ASSIGNMENT

THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF TERM ASSIGNMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into and made effective this 22nd day of February, 2013 ("Effective Date"), by Berexco LLC, for itself and as agent for those parties hereinafter identified as Internal Partners (Berexco LLC and said Internal Partners are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Seller”), and Pacific Energy Development MSL LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as "Buyer").

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and the payments, conveyances and agreements set forth and provided for herewith, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as set forth below. All undefined, initially capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings that are ascribed to such terms in Paragraph 24 of this Agreement. All Exhibits referred to in this Agreement are listed in Paragraph 23, are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement.

1. PURCHASE OF TERM ASSIGNMENT

Upon the terms and conditions and subject to the exclusions and reservations set forth herein, Seller hereby agrees to transfer, sell, assign, and convey to Buyer, for a set period of time commencing March 15, 2013 and expiring on December 29, 2014 ("Primary Term"), and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and acquire for said Primary Term, all of Seller’s rights, titles and interests in and to the Mississippi Formation underlying those producing and non-producing oil and gas leases in the State of Kansas, more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, insofar and only insofar as said leases cover the lands described on Exhibit "A" (each, a "Lease", and collectively, the "Leases"), but limited to production from wells drilled by Buyer thereon and therein after the Closing Date (as such term is hereinafter defined), including all of Seller's right, title, and interest in and to such operating agreements, farmout agreements, pooling orders, assignments and other such contracts and agreements applicable to the Mississippi Formation in and under the Leases in which Seller has an assignable interest, excluding any such agreements by and between, or amongst, Berexco LLC and any of its Affiliates (the "Berexco Group") only, or by and between, or amongst, the Berexco Group, or any of them, and any Internal Partner(s) only (collectively, the “Contracts”), but all without warranty or representation as to effectiveness or validity, or otherwise. The agreements excluded from the definition of Contracts in the preceding sentence are hereinafter referred to as the "Internal Contracts".

The Primary Term of the said conveyance by Seller to Buyer may be extended as to the Mississippi Formation underlying one or more of the Leases pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement. The said rights, titles and interests to be sold by Seller and purchased by Buyer hereunder are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Property”.

2. MISSISSIPPI FORMATION

A. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Mississippi Formation shall be defined as the stratigraphic equivalent of all depths between 4,982 feet and 5,391 feet, inclusive, as shown on the Log-Tech Dual Compensated Porosity log dated February 22, 2007 for the Peppard #3-20 well (API #15-033-21490-0000) located near the center of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 20, Township 31 South, Range 17 West (SE/4SE/4NW/4NE/4 Sec. 20-31s-17w), Comanche County, Kansas.

3. PURCHASE PRICE

As consideration for the sale of the Seismic Data (as more particularly set forth in Paragraph 8) and the Property for the Primary Term, Buyer shall pay Seller the sum of Four Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand, One Hundred and Seventeen Dollars ($4,207,117.00) (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (“Closing”). Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall execute the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "B", which Escrow shall apply to the sum of Eight Hundred and Sixty-four Thousand, Eight Hundred and Sixty-six Dollars ($864,866.00) plus accrued interest, less escrow fees ("Performance Deposit") currently held by Seller's counsel, Hinkle Law Firm LLC, in a client trust account in accordance with the terms and conditions of a previous escrow agreement between Seller and Condor Energy Technology LLC. At the Closing the Performance Deposit shall be credited towards the Purchase Price.

4. TERM CONVEYANCE

The leasehold acres and net revenue interests to be conveyed by Seller to Buyer in and to the Mississippi Formation under the Leases are more particularly described on Exhibit "A". Seller is conveying leasehold and contractual working interest rights only, and is not conveying any royalty, mineral, or overriding royalty interest which Seller or any other party may own in the Leases, and all such interests are specifically excluded from the Property. Seller and Buyer shall, concurrently with the tender of the Purchase Price by Buyer to Seller, execute, acknowledge and deliver one or more Partial Term Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases covering the Property, substantially in the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Assignment"). The rights and interests conveyed pursuant to the Assignment shall be expressly limited to the duration of the Primary Term, it being expressly understood that no unilateral action of Buyer, including without limitation the establishment by Buyer of hydrocarbon production from the Property, shall serve to extend the Primary Term of the Assignment as to any Lease. The Primary Term of the Assignment may only be extended, and separately as to each Lease, through (i) the proper exercise by Buyer of the Option (as such term is hereinafter defined), or (ii) the earning by Buyer of a Secondary Term Assignment (as such term is hereafter defined) pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 11. below, but not otherwise. Buyer shall promptly file each Partial Term Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases of record in the appropriate counties and states and furnish Seller with copies of such recorded instrument(s).

5. SELLER'S RESERVATIONS

A. Seller reserves any and all rights not expressly conveyed to Buyer in the Assignment, including, without limitation, all existing wells, equipment, facilities, and other personal property on or related to the Property; all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all depths outside the Mississippi Formation; the right to drill and complete new wells on the Leases for the production of Hydrocarbons from formations other than the Mississippi Formation; and all right, title and interest of Seller within the Mississippi Formation necessary to allow Seller to re-enter, workover, complete, re-complete, fracture treat, and produce Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation in any well which has been drilled on the Leases (or on lands unitized therewith) prior to the execution of this Agreement (provided, however, Seller shall not convert an existing vertical well into a horizontal well targeting production from the Mississippi Formation). It is expressly understood and agreed that Seller shall not have the right to drill and complete wells on any Lease for production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation during the Primary Term, Extended Primary Term (as such term is hereinafter defined), or during the term of any Secondary Term Assignment (as such term is hereinafter defined) of such Lease.

B. Seller shall except and reserve from the Assignment of the Leases an overriding royalty interest in and to all Hydrocarbons produced from the Property equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date (as adjusted to reflect any change in leasehold burdens arising as a result of renewals or extensions effected thereafter) from: (i) twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) before Payout (as such term is hereinafter defined); (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) upon and after Payout, proportionately reduced to the extent Seller's working interest in the Leases assigned is less than 100%. To the extent leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date exceed these respective percentages, Seller shall reserve no overriding royalty interest. It is the intention of Seller to deliver to Buyer a leasehold net revenue interest equal to the lesser of seventy-seven and one-half percent (77.5%) or Seller's actual net revenue interest in and to the Leases before Payout; and a leasehold net revenue interest equal to the lesser of seventy-five percent (75%) or Seller's actual net revenue interest in and to the Leases located after Payout.

C. The term "Payout" as used herein shall mean that point in time, on a well by well basis, when a well drilled by Buyer on the Property has sold the following specified barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE"), in each case utilizing a conversion factor for gas sales of 8 MCF per 1 barrel of oil: for a Vertical Well (as such term is hereinafter defined): Ten Thousand (10,000) BOE; for a Short-Lateral Horizontal Well (as such term is hereinafter defined): Twenty-five Thousand (25,000) BOE; and for an Earning Well or Horizontal Well (as such terms are hereinafter defined): Fifty Thousand (50,000) BOE. Commencing no later than the last day of the month following the month of first production from a well drilled by Buyer on the Property, and no later than the last day of each succeeding month, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a statement showing the oil and gas production and sales from such well during the preceding month, the cumulative sales of oil, gas, and barrels of oil equivalent utilizing the aforesaid conversion factor, and the barrels of oil equivalent remaining to be sold in order to reach Payout with respect to such well. The After-Payout increase in Seller's reserved overriding royalty interest shall be effective immediately upon Payout of each such well, and Buyer shall ensure that any retroactive adjustments to revenue distributions necessitated by Payout are promptly made. Upon Buyer's written confirmation of the occurrence of Payout as to any well, Seller shall have the option of recording an affidavit or notice of Payout in the records of the county and state in which such well is located, and any third party shall have the right to rely on said notice or affidavit as conclusive evidence that Payout has occurred; provided, however, Seller shall first submit such notice or affidavit to Buyer for approval as to form and substance prior to recording in the public records, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

D. Seller, or its affiliated designee, reserves the continuing preferential right and option, from time to time and at any time, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any part of the oil and/or other liquid Hydrocarbons (including condensate, distillate, and other liquids recovered from the well stream by normal lease-separation methods) produced and saved from any well drilled by Buyer on the Property. The price paid therefor shall be Seller's or Seller's affiliated designee's "posted" price, gravity adjusted, applicable thereto for the particular crude type. Transportation charges may be deducted where applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the price to be paid to Buyer for a sale of oil and/or liquid Hydrocarbons be less than Buyer can receive from an arms length transaction with a bona fide third party purchaser of such production, including bonuses, pursuant to a written offer furnished to Seller or its affiliated designee no later than forty-five (45) days in advance of an anticipated sale. No oil or other liquid Hydrocarbons shall be sold by Buyer from any well drilled on the Property until Seller or its affiliated designee has had the chance to exercise its preferential right and option as described above. Buyer shall notify Seller or its affiliated designee as far in advance as possible of impending production. Seller or its affiliated designee shall have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, to exercise or waive its preferential right and option. Any waiver of Seller's preferential right and option to purchase such oil and/or liquid Hydrocarbons shall not preclude Seller from later exercising such right and option. In the event Buyer's exercises its preferential right to purchase liquid Hydrocarbons pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 5.D., Buyer and Seller shall enter into a Crude Oil Purchase Contract substantially in the form of Exhibit "D" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

E. Seller, or its affiliated designee, reserves the continuing preferential right and option, from time to time and at any time, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any part of the gas (the term "gas" to include natural gas, casinghead gas and other gaseous substances and all constituents thereof in the well stream other than the liquid Hydrocarbons described in Paragraph 5.D. above) produced and saved by Buyer from any well drilled on the Property on the same terms (or terms economically equivalent thereto) as those under which Buyer proposes to sell or dispose of same to another bona fide purchaser that is ready, willing and able to so purchase the gas. No contract for the sale or other disposition of the gas, or any part thereof, shall ever be made by Buyer until Seller shall have either first exercised or waived in writing its above-described preferential right and option with respect to the gas. Buyer shall notify Seller or its affiliated designee in writing of any proposed disposition of the gas as much in advance as reasonably possible, and Seller or its affiliated designee shall have a reasonable time, but no less than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of all terms of each bona fide offer to purchase gas, or part thereof, in which to notify Buyer of the election to either exercise or waive the preferential right and option, in which event Buyer and Seller shall enter into a mutually acceptable gas purchase contract containing such terms. Any waiver of Seller's preferential right and option to purchase such gas shall not preclude Seller from later exercising such right and option. Seller does not warrant any gas market for gas that may be produced from the Property, nor does Seller agree to undertake any effort to ensure that such gas is transported, marketed, or sold. In the event such gas is subject to existing gas purchase contract(s) of Seller or Seller's affiliated designee, Buyer agrees to comply with the terms of such contracts, and Seller agrees to assist Buyer in selling such gas thereunder, or in attempting to secure a release of such gas from such contract(s). However, Seller shall have no liability whatsoever with respect thereto, nor shall Seller have any obligation to allow Buyer to utilize Seller's existing or future gas marketing arrangements or sales facilities.

F. Whether or not Seller exercises its preferential right to purchase Hydrocarbons produced by Buyer from the Property pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs 5.D. and/or 5.E. above, Buyer shall ensure that Seller is immediately provided with written notice of any and all changes of ownership affecting surface, mineral, royalty, overriding royalty or other interests under or relating to the Leases of which Buyer, and/or the purchaser of Buyer's production is advised, including copies of all correspondence and documentation pertaining thereto.

6. INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Seller makes no representation, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information, data or records now, heretofore, or hereafter made available to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or any agent, employee, consultant, or representative of either or both ("Buyer's Representatives")", in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any description of the Property or Leases, potential for production of Hydrocarbons from the Property, or any other matters contained in any material furnished to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or Buyer's Representatives, by Seller or by Seller's agents, employees, consultants, representatives, or Broker (as such term is hereinafter defined). All information made available to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or Buyer's Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any and all information concerning environmental matters or title defects of any nature, shall be maintained strictly confidential by Buyer in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain letter agreement dated March 8, 2012, by and between Seller and SXTRA LLC, and attached hereto as Exhibit "E" ("Confidentiality Agreement"), and any and all information, data and records provided by Seller to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or Buyer's Representatives concerning the Property shall be considered Confidential Information (as said term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement). Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to utilize the Evaluation Material (as said term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) for the purpose of attempting to further develop the Property as is contemplated herein, and Buyer's obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Evaluation Material shall not terminate for a period of ten (10) years from the Closing Date. Further, Buyer shall take whatever reasonable steps may be necessary to ensure that any Affiliate of Buyer and all Buyer's Representatives, including without limitation SXTRA LLC and its employees, comply with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement as modified by this Paragraph 6. of this Agreement.

7. TITLE AND DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

A. Seller and Condor Energy Technology LLC ("Condor"), an Affiliate of Buyer, were parties to that certain Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment dated November 30, 2012, which agreement was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties on February 8, 2013. Pursuant to that agreement, Condor was provided a period of sixty (60) days to conduct title and environmental due diligence on the Property. Buyer shall rely on the due diligence conducted by Condor, and agrees that Schedule 7 attached hereto describes all defects related to the Property. Any defects, flaws, irregularities, or conditions relating to the Leases or the Property, including, without limitation, defects related to title or environmental condition, which are not described on Schedule 7 are hereby deemed waived by Buyer, and shall never form the basis for any reduction in the Purchase Price or refusal of Buyer to close the transactions contemplated hereby, nor shall any of such non-scheduled defects form the basis of any lawsuit or other claim for relief of any nature, whether legal or equitable, including, without limitation, any claims for damages or losses of any kind by Buyer, its Affiliates, successors or assigns.

B. There shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price at Closing on account of any defect listed on Schedule 7, and the affected Leases shall be conveyed to Buyer as contemplated herein. Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing to cure all or any portion of such defects at its sole cost and expense. If by such date Seller is not able to cure any such defect, and such defect is not waived by Buyer, the Lease (or portion thereof, or interest therein) still affected by the defect shall be reassigned to Seller, free and clear of any liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances placed thereon by Buyer, and Buyer shall be entitled to a post-closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, on a per acre basis for each net acre subject to a defect, in the amount of $550.00 per net acre for acreage in Comanche, Harper, and Kiowa Counties, Kansas, and $650.00 per net acre for acreage in Barber County, Kansas, as if such Lease, or portion thereof, or interest therein, had been excluded from this sale at Closing. Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating Seller to cure any defects.

8. SEISMIC ACQUISITION

It is understood the Purchase Price includes payment at the rate of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) per square mile for acquisition of approximately 10.5 square miles of 3-D seismic data owned by Seller and covering the Leases and other lands as more particularly described on the Seismic Data License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "F" and by reference made a part hereof. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer processed 3D seismic data volumes, load sheets, sonic log data within the volumes, and related synthetic seismograms, shoot design, and acquisition parameters for such 3D seismic (the "Seismic Data"), but subject to the said Seismic Data License Agreement, which shall be executed by Buyer and Seller at or before Closing.

9. BUYER'S OPERATIONS UNDER TERM ASSIGNMENT

A. Buyer anticipates exploring for production of Hydrocarbons from the Property by the conduct of 3-D seismic operations and the drilling of horizontal wells thereon. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Horizontal Well" shall mean a well drilled for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation with a lateral length of no less than Four Thousand feet (4000'); the term "Short-Lateral Horizontal Well" shall mean a well drilled for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation with a lateral length of no less than Two Thousand feet (2000'). Buyer shall have no obligation to conduct any such seismic operations or horizontal drilling during the Primary Term, but Buyer shall not have the right to extend the Primary Term of the conveyance of any Lease unless Buyer shall have complied with the requirements for drilling of horizontal wells set forth in Paragraph 10.A. below.

In addition to Horizontal and Short-Lateral Horizontal Wells, Buyer shall have the right to drill wells from the surface location with a lateral length of no more than One Thousand feet (1000') for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation (each, a "Vertical Well"), provided however, unless otherwise expressly consented to by Seller in writing, in the event Buyer drills a Vertical Well on the Property, Buyer may not commence another Vertical Well on the Property unless Buyer has first drilled at least the same number of Horizontal Wells and Short-Lateral Horizontal Wells on the Property, in aggregate, as the number of Vertical Wells. Other than Horizontal Wells, Short-Lateral Horizontal Wells, and allowed Vertical Wells drilled for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation, Buyer shall have no right to drill any well, horizontal or otherwise, for the production of Hydrocarbons on any Lease. Buyer may drill one or more pilot wells for the purpose of evaluating (but not producing Hydrocarbons from) the Mississippi Formation (each, a "Pilot Well"), but any such Pilot Well which is not later used to kick off and drill a Horizontal Well, Short-Lateral Horizontal Well, or Earning Well shall not be completed for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation unless Buyer then has the right to drill a Vertical Well under the provisions of this Paragraph 9.A., and, unless otherwise consented to by Seller in writing, Buyer may not complete any such Pilot Well for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation unless such Pilot Well is located no less than Six Hundred and Sixty feet (660') from any currently existing well on the Leases. Any such eligible Pilot Well so completed for the production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation shall be considered a Vertical Well for all purposes under this Agreement.

B. To the extent that Buyer conducts or participates in any seismic survey including any of the Leases during the term of any assignment from Seller to Buyer made hereunder, Buyer shall license to Seller, free of cost to Seller, all raw and processed data (but excluding Buyer's review, analysis and interpretation of the same) acquired or generated from the entirety of such seismic survey. Such license shall be substantially in the form of the Seismic Data License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "F".

C. Subject to the terms of the applicable Lease, and all Applicable Laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such matters, Buyer shall have the option, should it choose to do so, to drill one or more vertical wells on the Leases for salt water disposal purposes into depths below the top of the Arbuckle formation ("SWD Well"). For the purposes of this Agreement, the top of the Arbuckle formation shall be defined as the stratigraphic equivalent of 5,692 feet as shown on the Log-Tech Dual Compensated Porosity log dated April 18, 2010 for the Berexco LLC Alton #1-3 well (API # 15-033-21568-0000) located near the center of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 3, Township 31 South, Range 18 West (NE/4SW/4NW/4) Sec. 20-31s-17w, Comanche County, Kansas. No salt water disposal into any other zone or formation underlying the Leases shall be permitted. Buyer shall be solely responsible for securing any and all agreements, including but not limited to rights-of-way and salt water disposal agreements, necessary to drill, operate and utilize any SWD Well for its purposes, but any such agreement obtained by Buyer shall be drawn so as to allow Seller the right to utilize such SWD Well for disposal of salt water produced from wells operated by Seller, and to be assignable to Seller should such well revert to Seller under the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent of any available capacity, Seller shall have the right to utilize any SWD Well drilled by Buyer for such disposal purposes of Seller, limited only by the capacity of such SWD Well to accept salt water produced by wells drilled by Buyer on the Property. The first 300 barrels per day disposed by Seller into a SWD Well of Buyer shall be free of any charge to Seller by Buyer; provided however, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any payments made by Buyer on Seller's behalf to allow any such disposal by Seller under the terms of Buyer's landowner agreement(s). In the event Seller shall dispose of more than 300 barrels per day into a SWD Well of Buyer, Seller shall pay monthly, upon receipt of billing by Buyer, for its proportionate share of the direct costs incurred by Buyer in the operation and maintenance of the SWD Well during that month. Seller's proportionate share of such costs shall be the percentage determined by dividing the number of barrels disposed by Seller into Buyer's SWD Well by the total number of barrels disposed into Buyer's SWD Well over the preceding six (6) month period. In the event Seller exercises its right to utilize any such SWD, Seller shall be solely responsible for the costs of installing and maintaining any and all lines, pipe, storage and metering facilities necessary or convenient for utilization of said SWD Well by Seller.

D. Notwithstanding any provision or authority which may be contained in the Leases, including any amendments thereof, unless otherwise specifically agreed by Seller in writing subsequent to Closing (which agreement may be withheld by Seller for any cause, or without cause), any well drilled by Buyer involving the Property shall be drilled to produce only from lands covered by the Leases, and Buyer shall not have the right to pool or unitize the Leases with other leases covering lands not covered by the Leases, whether or not Buyer may own such other leases covering such other lands. Buyer shall be solely responsible for securing any and all amendments to the Leases necessary to establish any production units desired by Buyer, but unless otherwise agreed by Seller as provided above, all such production units shall encompass only lands covered by the Leases, shall not exceed three hundred and twenty (320) acres for a Horizontal Well and one-hundred and sixty (160) acres for a Short-Lateral Horizontal Well, and shall be subject to prior written approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have the right to alter or amend any existing production unit covering the Property, nor shall Buyer apply to alter or amend any existing spacing rules applicable to the Property. To the extent Buyer drills a producing well and the production therefrom is subject to an existing production or spacing unit, all non-working interest revenues from such well shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the agreement(s) under which such existing production or spacing unit was established.

E. Buyer shall conduct all of its operations on the Leases and locate all of its exploration and production facilities in a manner so as to avoid any damage to, and minimize interference with, Seller's wells and operations, and Buyer shall advise and consult with Seller prior to commencement of any seismic, drilling, completion, or other major operations on the Leases in order to avoid any such damage or interference. The location of all of Buyer's such facilities shall be agreed upon between Buyer and Seller in advance; such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party. Each party shall have the right to use the other's lease roads, including usage for rotary tools or other heavy equipment. In the event Buyer utilizes Seller's existing lease roads for rotary tools or other heavy equipment, Buyer shall restore such roads to the same or better condition as existed prior to such usage. In the event Buyer utilizes Seller's existing lease roads for normal operations hereunder, Buyer and Seller shall share equally the cost and expense of maintaining said roads. Similarly, in the event Seller utilizes new lease roads constructed by Buyer for rotary tools or other heavy equipment, Seller shall restore such roads to the same or better condition as existed prior to such usage, and if Seller utilizes Buyer's new lease roads for its normal operations, Seller and Buyer shall share equally the cost and expense of maintaining such roads.

F. Buyer shall not conduct vibroseis seismic operations or detonate any seismic charges within three hundred feet (300') of any well currently existing or hereafter drilled by Seller on the Leases unless otherwise specifically consented to by Seller in writing. In addition, Buyer shall not drill the wellbore of any Horizontal Well, Short-Lateral Horizontal Well, or Pilot Well within three hundred feet (300'), and shall not drill the wellbore of any Vertical Well within six hundred and sixty feet (660'), of any currently existing well on the Leases unless otherwise specifically consented to by Seller in writing. Upon written request by Buyer, Seller will support any application made by Buyer to the regulatory authorities necessary to permit the location and/or production of wells drilled by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing.

G. Buyer shall notify Seller immediately when the location for any well, including Pilot and SWD Wells, on the Property is staked, when rotary tools for the drilling thereof are moved to the location, and when actual drilling is commenced. After actual drilling has been commenced, and continuing until such well has been completed, plugged and abandoned as a dry hole, or operations thereof assumed by Seller, Buyer shall furnish Seller with a daily Standard Data Set (as herein defined), as well as any and all other information reasonably requested by Seller with respect to said well. As used herein, “Standard Data Set” shall mean the following, to the extent such reports and logs are created: (i) daily drilling reports; (ii) daily completion reports; (iii) daily workover reports; (iv) final logs (any type, including mud log); and (v) core reports (but not the core itself). Seller shall hold any and all information furnished by Buyer to Seller with respect to the Property in strict confidence and shall not disclose any such information to any party except officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, and other agents or consultants of Seller on a confidential basis.

H. During the drilling and completion of any well, including a Pilot and SWD Wells, on the Property, Buyer shall, unless expressly prohibited by Applicable Law, comply with all of the cementing, logging, reporting, production information, and well data requirements set forth on Exhibit "G" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Failure by Buyer to comply with such requirements shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement if not cured by Buyer within the applicable notice and cure period provided in Paragraph 18.C. Seller's representatives shall at all reasonable times, but at Seller's sole cost and risk, have access to the rig floor, wellsites, production and disposal facilities; provided, however, Seller shall provide Buyer with at least twenty-four (24) hour notice prior to accessing any active rotary rig or frac site. In connection with all such access, Seller and its representatives shall abide by all safety rules and other reasonable restrictions imposed by Buyer and Seller shall, upon written request by Buyer, provide Buyer with such waivers of liability and/or indemnities as Buyer may reasonably request, and with proof of insurance. Seller and Seller's representative shall also have access at all reasonable times to any and all information concerning all Horizontal, Short-Lateral Horizontal, Vertical, Pilot, and SWD Wells drilled by Buyer involving the Property, including without limitation, the items addressed on the said Exhibit "G", provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to provide Seller with any interpretations, economic analysis or projections, or any other intellectual property of Buyer.

I. If in an effort to drill a Horizontal Well or Short-Lateral Horizontal Well on a Lease assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder, Buyer encounters an impenetrable substance or mechanical difficulty which makes further drilling impracticable, Buyer shall have the option, if applicable, to attempt a completion in the Mississippi Formation in the lateral portion of such well. Any well so completed as a commercial producer of Hydrocarbons shall be considered as an "Earning Well" under the terms of this Agreement, but shall not be considered a Horizontal Well or Short-Lateral Horizontal Well unless the lateral length satisfies the definition of either such Well.

J. Buyer shall not plug and abandon any well drilled by Buyer on the Property without Seller's express written consent, in accordance with the following:

(i) If Buyer determines to plug and abandon any well drilled by Buyer on a Lease without attempting completion, Buyer shall ensure Seller has been furnished with all electric logs run in said well and all other required well data, and shall not abandon such well until Buyer shall have furnished all such logs and data and given Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of Buyer's intention to so abandon after having satisfied the aforesaid data requirements, unless Seller consents to an earlier abandonment. In the event Seller does not consent to plugging such well, Seller shall elect, within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of notice of Buyer's intention to abandon, or twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of all electrical logs and other required well data, whichever is the later, to take over operations of such well for its own account. Failure of Seller to respond to Buyer's notice within the time provided shall be deemed as Seller's consent to plug and abandon such well.

(ii) If Buyer determines to plug and abandon any well drilled by Buyer on a Lease after completion (or after attempting completion), Buyer shall provide notice to Seller of Buyer's intention to abandon and Seller shall, within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, either consent to such plugging and abandonment, or elect to take over operations of such well for its own account. Failure of Seller to respond to Buyer's notice within the time provided shall be deemed as Seller's consent to plug and abandon such well.

(iii) In the event Seller gives its consent to the plugging and abandonment of any well drilled by Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall promptly plug and abandon such well in accordance with all the requirements of any governmental body having jurisdiction. In the event Seller elects to take over such well, Seller shall pay Buyer the net salvage value (after plugging and abandonment expense) of the recoverable equipment in the hole, if any, and the well's surface equipment, if any, and effective as of its election, shall assume operations of the well at its sole cost, risk, and expense, which shall include assumption of responsibility for compliance with any directive of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over such well. In such event, Buyer shall forfeit any and all right to the well so taken over by Seller, and shall promptly reassign to Seller, all Leases of which, by completion of such well, Buyer has either earned or would have earned, in whole or in part, a Secondary Term Assignment, with Buyer retaining only rights to the wellbore(s) of any other wells owned by Buyer then producing in commercial quantities on such Lease(s) and that portion of any Lease(s) of which Buyer has either earned or would have earned a Secondary Term Assignment with respect to such other producing wells. Such reassignment shall be in form and content acceptable to Seller, but shall include provision for Seller's assumption of any and all liabilities with respect to the well and Lease(s) assigned and indemnification of Buyer with respect thereto. Any such Lease(s) so reassigned to Seller shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

K. At all times while conducting operations on the Property, Buyer shall comply with the workers compensation laws of the state where the operations are being conducted and shall carry and maintain in full force and effect insurance, in form and content, and with (an) insurance provider(s) reasonably acceptable to Seller in its sole discretion, having the minimum limits of liability described on Exhibit "H" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Prior to commencement of any operations hereunder, Buyer shall provide Seller with all information reasonably requested by Seller relative to such insurance, including without limitation copies of the relevant insurance policies, and secure Seller's written acceptance thereof, and shall cause the insurance company or companies with whom the said insurance is carried to include Seller (specifically including the Internal Partners) as Primary, Non-Contributory Additional Insureds and provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Seller on each of said policies, to issue certificates of insurance representing such insurance to be in full force and effect, and to issue endorsements to the policies representing such insurance to extend the coverage thereof to Seller. Buyer shall at all times keep the Property free and clear of all labor, mechanics' and materialmen's liens, whether through bonding over such liens or through any other means of releasing such liens available at law or in equity.

L. Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary Permits or other documentation required under state or federal law or otherwise by public authorities relative to its operations on the Property, including, without limitation, all necessary bonds, plugging or otherwise, and shall comply with all Permits, statutes, rules, regulations, and orders of any governmental authority with respect to its operations on the Property, including, without limitation, any governmental request or requirement in conjunction with Buyer's operations to repair, restore mechanical integrity, plug, re-plug and/or abandon any well of whatsoever type, status or classification located on the Leases, whether or not drilled by Buyer, or to take any cleanup or other action with respect thereto. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs associated with obtaining such Permits or other documentation, and with compliance with such Permits, statutes, rules, regulations, and orders, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all liabilities with respect thereto or arising therefrom. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer shall, prior to commencement by Buyer of each well drilled by Buyer on the Property, furnish a surety bond in favor of Seller in the amount of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), executed by Buyer as principal, and by a corporate surety acceptable to Seller and authorized to do business in the state in which the well is located. Such bond shall be in form and content satisfactory to Seller, guaranteeing the plugging and abandonment of each such well in accordance with all rules and regulations of the constituted authorities.

M. Buyer shall comply in all respects with all of the express and implied covenants of the Leases to the extent such Leases cover the Property, including, but not limited to, any necessary environmental or pollution clean-up occasioned by Buyer's operations, and plugging and abandonment of all wells drilled by Buyer on the Leases (unless assumed by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 9.J.(iii) above). Prior to conducting any operations on the Leases, Buyer shall make satisfactory arrangements with the owners of all surface rights to be affected by such operations for ingress and egress, and shall conduct its operations in a manner to disturb or utilize no more of the surface of the lands than is necessary to conduct prudent operations thereon. Upon plugging and abandonment by Buyer of any well drilled on the Leases, Buyer shall promptly remove all of its equipment, shall restore surface of the lands as nearly as is reasonably practicable to its condition prior to the drilling of such well, and shall comply with any additional or more stringent surface restoration or clean-up requirements under the applicable Lease.

N. In conducting its operations on the Property, Buyer shall be acting independently of Seller, and none of such operations shall be considered as joint, it being expressly understood that this Agreement does not constitute any type of joint venture or partnership of any nature, mining or otherwise. Unless assumed by Seller under the provisions of Paragraph 9.J.(iii) above, Seller shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in connection with the conduct of any operations, drilling or otherwise, undertaken and prosecuted by Buyer on the Leases and Property. All such operations shall be at Buyer's sole cost, risk, and expense.

10. LEASE EXPIRATIONS AND BUYER'S OPTION TO EXTEND PRIMARY TERM; NON-INTERFERENCE

A. In the event and only in the event Buyer shall have completed drilling operations on no less than three (3) Horizontal Wells on the Property by December 29, 2014 (the "Option Date"), Buyer shall have the option (the "Option"), to extend the Primary Term of the then valid Leases for a period of one (1) year, or until the expiration date of such Lease, whichever is the earlier (the "Extended Primary Term") by paying Seller the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per net acre (as shown on Exhibit "A") covered by each of the Leases for which the Option is exercised. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the completion of drilling operations of two (2) Short-Lateral Horizontal Wells shall be considered the completion of drilling operations on one (1) Horizontal Well. The completion of drilling operations on Vertical Wells or Earning Wells shall not be considered in determining whether Buyer shall have earned the right to exercise the Option. Provided Buyer has completed the required drilling by the Option Date, Buyer may exercise the Option by notifying Seller in writing, no later than the Option Date, of the Leases for which Buyer wishes to exercise the Option, and by paying Seller therefor as set forth above, within three (3) Business Days thereafter. Failure of Buyer to give such notice as to any Lease, or to make payment for such Lease, within the times provided, shall be deemed an election by Buyer not to exercise the Option with respect to such Lease.

B. Buyer shall not be obligated to exercise the Option with respect to all of the Leases, but if Buyer elects to exercise the Option with respect to any Lease, Buyer must exercise the Option with respect to all of the then valid Leases included with such Lease within any pre-existing production or spacing unit, and with respect to all of the acreage covered by a Lease, excluding only such Leases or acreage for which Buyer has earned a Secondary Term Assignment.

C. In the event Buyer timely exercises the Option with respect to a Lease, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days from receipt of Buyer's payment, execute and deliver to Buyer one or more Extension of Partial Term Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases covering the Leases for which the Option has been exercised, substantially in the form of Exhibit "I" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

D. In the event Buyer has commenced the actual drilling, below surface casing, of a well on a Lease prior to the expiration of the Primary Term or Extended Primary Term, with rotary tools capable of drilling such well to completion, the expiration of the Primary Term or Extended Primary Term of such Lease shall be deferred, and Buyer shall have the right to continue the drilling of such well to total depth, and if applicable earn a Secondary Term Assignment of such Lease as is provided in Paragraph 11. Otherwise, Buyer shall not have the right to extend the Primary Term of any Lease except through exercise of the Option, which may only be exercised as is provided in Paragraph 10.A. above; the provisions of this Paragraph 10.D. shall not be construed to alter the requirement that Buyer must have completed drilling operations on no less than three (3) Horizontal Wells (or the equivalent thereof as provided in Paragraph 10.A above) by the Option Date in order to have the right to exercise the Option.

E. As is set forth on Exhibit "A", the primary term of certain Leases not currently held by production expires prior to the Option Date, and/or prior to the expiration of the Extended Primary Term if the Option is exercised with respect to such Lease(s). In addition, certain Leases currently held by production could expire in accordance with their terms prior to the Option Date, the expiration of the Primary Term, or the expiration of the Extended Primary Term, due to lack of continued production or other circumstances. Seller shall endeavor to advise Buyer in advance of the pending expiration of any Lease which has been assigned to Buyer hereunder and is within the Primary Term or Extended Primary Term of any such assignment, but shall incur no liability to Buyer for failure to do so, it being expressly understood Seller shall have no obligation to maintain any Lease in force and effect through renewal, extension, re-establishment of production, or otherwise, and shall have no liability whatsoever to Buyer or otherwise with respect thereto. It is expressly understood that the terms "Primary Term" and "Extended Primary Term" as used in this Agreement bear no relationship to the primary term, or to the extended primary term, as same may affect the duration of any Lease as between the lessor and lessee thereof. Instead, the terms "Primary Term" and "Extended Primary Term" as used herein relate solely to the duration of the term assignments contemplated under this Agreement, and the interests to be conveyed thereunder may terminate earlier than is contemplated herein to the extent any of the underlying leasehold interests terminate. It is further understood that Buyer cannot exercise the Option with respect to any lease which has expired, and in the event Buyer exercises the Option and makes payment therefor with respect to any such expired Lease, Seller shall promptly refund any such erroneous payment made.

F. Upon written notice to Seller, Buyer shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, at its sole cost and expense, to attempt to extend or renew any Lease which expires or is expiring prior to the Option Date, the expiration of the Primary Term, or the expiration of the Extended Primary Term (if the Option has been exercised with respect to such Lease). If requested by Buyer to do so, Seller will attempt to extend or renew any such Lease, but at Buyer's cost and expense, and without any liability for failure to do so. Any Lease so extended or renewed shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as fully as if such Lease had been in full force and effect for its extended or renewed term as of the Closing Date. If not taken in Seller's name, such Lease shall immediately be assigned to Seller without cost, reservation or encumbrance. Seller will then make a partial term assignment of such extended or renewed Lease to Buyer, insofar as such Lease covers the Property, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, if possible under the terms and provisions of such renewed or extended Lease, the term of such partial assignment shall be for the Extended Primary Term.

G. Except as provided by Paragraph 10.F., Buyer shall not make any attempt to lease, renew, extend, top-lease, or otherwise acquire any interest in the lands covered by any Lease, or otherwise attempt to interfere in any manner with Seller's ownership of any Lease, including but not limited to the direct or indirect support of litigation, for a period of two (2) years following the expiration of such Lease, or five (5) years from the Closing Date, whichever is the later date. Buyer shall take whatever reasonable steps may be necessary to ensure that Buyer's employees, consultants, and agents, including without limitation SXTRA LLC and its employees, comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 10.F.

11. SECONDARY TERM ASSIGNMENT

A. In the event Buyer drills a well on a Lease, or on a production unit approved by Seller (a "Unit") which includes a Lease, in each case within the Primary Term or, if applicable, the Extended Primary Term of such Lease, and such well is completed as a commercial producer of oil and/or gas (a "Producing Well"), Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer an assignment of such Lease(s), effective as of first sales of oil and/or gas from such well, and, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11.B., for so long thereafter as such Producing Well produces in paying quantities from the Mississippi Formation (the "Secondary Term Assignment"). Such assignment shall be limited to the Lease or Leases on which such well is drilled, insofar as such Lease(s) cover the Property, and shall be further limited for a Horizontal Well to a maximum of Three Hundred and Twenty (320) contiguous gross acres covered by such Lease(s), for a Short-Lateral Horizontal Well to a maximum of One Hundred and Sixty (160) contiguous gross acres covered by such Lease(s), and for a Vertical Well to the ten (10) acre governmental quarter-quarter-quarter section covered by such Lease(s) on which such Vertical Well is located; provided, however, in the event Seller has approved a production unit for such a Horizontal Well or Short-Lateral Horizontal Well which includes oil and gas leases other than the Leases, such Secondary Term Assignment shall be limited to the acreage covered by the Lease(s) which is (are) included in such production unit. In the event Buyer completes an Earning Well on a Lease as a commercial producer of oil and/or gas, the Secondary Term Assignment shall be limited to the wellbore of such Earning Well. A Pilot Well shall not earn a Secondary Term Assignment. Any Secondary Term Assignment shall be made substantially in the form of Exhibit "J" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Buyer shall promptly file each such Secondary Term Assignment of record in the appropriate county and state and furnish Seller with copies of such recorded instrument(s). Seller shall except and reserve from all Secondary Term Assignments the applicable overriding royalty interest as described in Paragraph 5.B, and each Secondary Term Assignment shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, control the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the interests conveyed under said Secondary Term Assignment, and shall supersede any Primary Term Assignment to the extent, and only to the extent, said Primary Term Assignment covers the same interests as the relevant Secondary Term Assignment.

B. In the event a Producing Well ceases to produce in commercial quantities, Buyer shall have the option to commence operations for the reworking of such Producing Well in order to restore commercial production from the Mississippi Formation therefrom, and/or for the drilling and completion of a new well for production from the Mississippi Formation hereunder on the same Lease or Unit on which such Producing Well is located (a "New Well"). Any such reworking operations shall be commenced within ninety (90) days from such cessation of commercial production, and any such drilling operations shall be commenced within ninety (90) days from such cessation of commercial production or ninety (90) days from termination of such reworking operations, whichever is the later date. The Secondary Term Assignment applicable to the Producing Well from which commercial production has ceased shall not terminate so long as such reworking or drilling/completion operations are diligently and continuously prosecuted with no cessation of more than thirty (30) consecutive days. Any cessation of operations for longer than thirty (30) days shall be considered termination of such operations as of the initial date of the cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have a period of time in which to commence such operations which is longer than allowed by the applicable Lease(s).

In the event Buyer elects to drill a New Well, and such New Well is completed as commercial producer from the Mississippi Formation, the Secondary Term Assignment applicable to the Producing Well from which commercial production has ceased shall not terminate with respect to any acreage covered by a Lease of which Buyer would have earned a Secondary Term Assignment for completion such New Well.

In the event Buyer does not elect to commence reworking operations or drilling/completion operations within the time provided, or if reworking operations are timely commenced and prosecuted but are not successful in restoring commercial production from the Mississippi Formation in such Producing Well, or if operations for a New Well are timely commenced and prosecuted, but do not result in commercial production from the Mississippi Formation, the Secondary Term Assignment applicable to such Producing Well shall thereupon terminate; provided, however, in the event Buyer has drilled (an) additional well or wells hereunder then producing from the Mississippi Formation in commercial quantities on a Lease or Unit covered by the Secondary Term Assignment applicable to such Producing Well, the Secondary Term Assignment shall not terminate with respect to that portion of any Lease(s) of which Buyer would have earned a Secondary Term Assignment by completion of such additional well(s).

Notwithstanding the termination of any Secondary Term Assignment, Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder with respect Buyer's operations on the Lands and Lease(s) covered by such Secondary Term Assignment unless assumed by Seller under the provisions of Paragraph 9.J.(iii).

12. ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITES

From and after the Closing, Buyer shall assume and be responsible, on a going forward basis, for all future (but not past) duties, liabilities and obligations of Seller of whatsoever nature, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, those arising under or by virtue of any of the Contracts, or any other lease, contract, agreement, document, permit, or applicable statute or rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall assume and be responsible for any and all claims, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character, brought by or in favor of any Person, company, corporation, governmental agency or other entity, for damage to the Property or to the environment, for pollution, or for the condition of the Wells and Leases, or any lands and premises, arising out of Buyer's actions or operations with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability with respect thereto, and shall carry all such insurance, including umbrella coverage, necessary to satisfy such responsibilities and indemnities. Such assumption, responsibility and indemnity shall apply to all such claims, demands or causes of actions arising directly or indirectly from or incident to, the use, occupation, operation, maintenance or abandonment of the Property by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Buyer shall not assume, and shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to, any of the Internal Contracts, nor shall Buyer assume or be liable for any claims, demands and causes of action which arise from the Internal Contracts, or from acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date or otherwise arising from the acts or omissions of Seller, the Berexco Group or the Internal Partners. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement which could be construed to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to review or inspect the Internal Contracts.

Should Buyer default in its obligations hereunder in any material respect prior to Closing, including but not limited to, a failure to be present at the designated time for the Closing hereof, Seller's sole remedy shall be to receive payment of the Performance Deposit from the Hinkle Law Firm LLC client trust account and retain such Performance Deposit as liquidated damages and to terminate this Agreement, Seller hereby waiving all other legal or equitable remedies, including without limitation, damages or a suit for specific performance. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EXTENT OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND HAVE AGREED, AFTER SPECIFIC NEGOTIATION, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE PERFORMANCE DEPOSIT IS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A FIXED AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY.

B. Should Seller default in its obligations hereunder in any material respect prior to Closing, including but not limited to, a failure to be present at the designated time for the Closing hereof, Buyer's sole remedy shall be the immediate return of the Performance Deposit plus payment of an additional amount from Seller equal to thirty percent (30%) of the amount of the Performance Deposit and to terminate this Agreement, Buyer hereby waiving all other legal or equitable remedies, including without limitation, damages or a suit for specific performance. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EXTENT OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH BUYER WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF SELLER'S DEFAULT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND HAVE AGREED, AFTER SPECIFIC NEGOTIATION, THAT THIRTY PERCENT (30%) OF THE PERFORMANCE DEPOSIT IS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A FIXED AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY.

C. In the event either party is in default in any material respect of any provision of this Agreement after Closing, the non-defaulting party, as a condition precedent to its remedies, must give the defaulting party written notice of the default in strict accordance with the notice requirements of this Agreement. The defaulting party shall have thirty (30) Business Days from receipt of such notice to commence curing the default and shall thereafter diligently pursue the completion thereof, but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90) days, unless a longer period is mutually agreed by the parties. If the default is timely cured, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If the default is not timely cured, the non-defaulting party may pursue its applicable remedies set forth in the following Paragraphs 18.D. and 18.E.

D. If Buyer fails to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement after Closing and fails to cure the same within the applicable cure periods, Seller may, upon the first such occurrence, elect to terminate the Primary Term (including any Extended Primary Term) of any or all of the Leases assigned to Buyer hereunder that are directly related to, or are the subject matter of, Buyer's material uncured default. Any such election to terminate by Seller shall be made no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable cure period. If Buyer thereafter again fails to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement and fails to cure the same within the applicable cure periods, Seller may elect, no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable cure period, to terminate the Primary Term (including any Extended Primary Term) of any or all of the Leases assigned to Buyer hereunder that are directly related to, or are the subject matter of, Buyer's material uncured default, and, in the event Buyer's uncured defaults (on a cumulative basis) have given rise to claims in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and/or have resulted from Buyer's failure to comply with the provisions of Paragraphs 6., 9.A., 9. D., 9.F., 9.H., 9.J., 9.K., 9.L., 9.M., 10.G., 19., 20., 21., or 22.D. of this Agreement, Seller may elect, no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the applicable cure period, to terminate this Agreement and/or, at Seller's option, immediately terminate the Primary Term (including any Extended Primary Term) of any or all other Leases assigned to Buyer hereunder. Notwithstanding any such termination, Seller shall not have the right to unilaterally terminate any Secondary Term Assignment which Buyer has earned under the provisions of this Agreement. In exercising any such election to terminate, Seller shall not waive, or otherwise be precluded from exercising, any other rights or remedies, at law or in equity, which it may have for the breach of the Agreement by Buyer or for Buyer's failure to perform this Agreement in whole or in part.

E. If Seller fails to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement after Closing, and fails to cure the same within the applicable cure periods, Buyer may pursue any and all rights or remedies, at law or in equity, which it may have for the breach of the Agreement by Seller or for Seller's failure to perform this Agreement in whole or in part, including specific performance of this Agreement as it relates to delivery of any Assignment, Extension of Primary Term Assignment, or Secondary Term Assignment without the necessity of proving irreparable harm.

19. NON-ASSIGNABILITY

This Agreement is personal in nature. Neither this Agreement, the Leases, nor any interest in the Property shall be assigned, conveyed, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by Buyer in any manner (collectively, a "Transfer"), in whole or in part, without the express written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld by Seller for any cause, or for no cause, provided however, Seller specifically acknowledges that Buyer may, without Seller's consent, assign this Agreement once to any entity into or with which Buyer may be merged, consolidated or reorganized or to any Affiliate of Buyer (a “Permitted Transfer”). Seller acknowledges that one or more of the members comprising Buyer (“Buyer Members”) are publicly traded entities as of the date of this Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20. below, that any sale, assignment or other transfer of the stock of Buyer Members by a shareholder(s) shall not be deemed an assignment of this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. Should consent to any Transfer be given, or if a Permitted Transfer should occur, no further Transfer shall be made without further written consent from Seller, which consent may also be withheld by Seller for any cause, or for no cause. Any Transfer permitted hereunder shall expressly reference and be made subject to this Agreement, including the Transfer restrictions in this paragraph. Buyer shall keep the Property free and clear of any and all liens of any nature, provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any manner encumber this Agreement or the Property to fund the cost of any wells or Buyer's other activities with respect to the Property, but any such mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance shall expressly reference and be made expressly subject to this Agreement, and shall be made expressly subordinate and expressly subject to Seller's rights under the terms of this Agreement. Any Transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecations, or other encumbrance made or created in violation of the provisions of this Paragraph 19. shall be null and void.

20. PREFERENTIAL RIGHT

Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 19. above, Buyer shall have the right to Transfer all, but not less than all, of its right, title and interest in any Lease of which Buyer has earned a Secondary Term Assignment, but no such Transfer may be made unless and until Buyer shall have given Seller written notice of the offer received by Buyer therefor, with full information concerning the proposed sale, which shall include the name and address of the prospective purchaser (who must be ready, willing, and able to purchase), the purchase price, and all other terms on which the Transfer is to be made. Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice in which to elect to purchase Buyer's interest for the stated consideration and on the same terms and conditions; provided, however, Seller shall have no such preferential right to purchase in the case of a Transfer to an Affiliate or in the case of any sale, assignment or other transfer of the stock of Buyer Members by a shareholder; provided, further, that any change of control of Buyer during the time Buyer holds such Lease pursuant to a Secondary Term Assignment made hereunder, or of an Affiliate transferee or other transferee of Buyer following the Transfer thereto of such Lease which is subject to a Secondary Term Assignment made hereunder, shall be considered a Transfer subject to Seller's option to exercise its preferential right under the provisions of this Paragraph 20 with respect such Lease. In the event of any Transfer for consideration other than cash or other consideration with quantifiable value (e.g. marketable securities or debt), or in the event of a change of control of Buyer during the time Buyer holds such Lease pursuant to a Secondary Term Assignment made hereunder, or of an Affiliate transferee or other transferee of Buyer following the Transfer thereto of such Lease which is subject to a Secondary Term Assignment made hereunder, Seller's option to exercise its preferential right shall be based upon a price equal to the value allocated in good faith to the Property to be Transferred, or if no such allocation was made in the transaction giving rise to the Transfer, the preferential right shall be based upon the applicable price per net mineral acre set forth in Paragraph 7.B. of this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Paragraph 20, a "change of control" of Buyer, or of an Affiliate transferee or other transferee of Buyer, shall mean a transaction or series of related transactions within a six-month period which result in the security holders of such entity immediately prior to such transaction or series or related transaction no longer holding, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting securities of the entity immediately following such transaction or series of related transactions.

A. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement states the entire agreement between the parties, superceding any and all prior communications or agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and may be supplemented, altered, amended, modified or revoked only by a writing signed by both parties. Should any conflict arise between the terms and conditions of any prior communication or agreement between the parties hereto, oral or written, and this Agreement, then, in such event, this Agreement shall control. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties hereto.

B. Seller and Buyer hereby agree from time to time after the Closing, to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other documents, instruments, or forms as may reasonably be required in connection with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to perform and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the transactions which are contemplated by this Agreement.

C. The indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of either party pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

D. There shall be no press release or public communication by either party concerning this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby except with the express written consent of the other party, including the express written consent of the other party of the use of such party's identity or any characterization or material information concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and/or such party to be included in such press release or public communication. The provisions of this Paragraph 22.D. shall not prevent, or require consent for, a public disclosure or communication which the party making such disclosure or communication (the "Disclosing Party") is specifically required to make pursuant to Applicable Law, rule or regulation; provided, however, in such event the disclosing party shall not reveal the identity of the other party unless specifically required by law or regulation to do so, and shall limit any other disclosure concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the other party to only such information as is, in the reasonable judgement of the Disclosing Party (upon advice of counsel), specifically required by law or regulation to be disclosed. However, prior to any such required disclosure, including any supplemental required disclosure, the Disclosing Party shall provide the other party with a draft of the proposed disclosure for such party's review and comment. The Disclosing Party shall in good faith consider making any changes to such disclosure as may be requested by the other party after consultation with the other party and its counsel concerning the disclosure requirements and analysis of what information is specifically required by Applicable Law, rule or regulation to be released; provided that the final content of any such disclosure and the timing of its release shall be in the ultimate discretion of the Disclosing Party. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to publicly disclose any information (via press releases and other announcements) related to its activities on the Property, including, without limitation, well activity, including drilling locations, IP rates, logs, production data, reserve reports, etc., provided that no such general activity disclosures shall name or identify Seller, or disclose any of the terms of this Agreement, without Seller’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this Paragraph 22.D., Applicable Law, rule or regulation includes, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as well as any applicable quasi-governmental body, such as a stock exchange on which a party's shares are listed.

E. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for reference and guidance purposes only and shall have no significance in, and do not affect in any way, the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

F. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is judicially determined to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced under any rule of law, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substances of the transaction contemplated hereby are not affected in a materially adverse manner with respect to either party.

G. Without regard to principles of conflicts of law, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Kansas applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state and the laws of the United States of America. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Each of the parties hereby (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Sedgwick County, Kansas, for the purposes of any suit, action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or Proceeding, any claim that (i) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court or of any other court to which Proceedings in such court may be appealed; (ii) such suit, action or Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or, (iii) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper.

H. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

I. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s cumulative liability for indemnity obligations and damages for any breach of this Agreement shall not exceed the actual Purchase Price paid by Buyer. The sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer with respect to the Property shall be pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

J. Each party hereto agrees that it will not voluntarily undertake any course of action inconsistent with the provisions or intent of this Agreement, and will use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary and proper, or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

K. This Agreement and all other provisions hereof shall be deemed to be covenants running with the Lands and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and permitted assigns.

L. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Facsimile signatures of the parties hereto shall be sufficient, and shall be treated as original signatures, for all purposes under this Agreement.

M. It is not the intention of the Parties to create a partnership, joint venture, mining partnership or association taxable as a corporation, and neither this Agreement nor any operations hereunder shall be construed as creating any such relationship. The liability of the parties hereto shall be several and separate, and not joint or collective, and each of the parties hereto shall be responsible for its obligations only. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute any party hereto as a partner or agent of any other party, and each party hereby waives, disclaims and releases any and all fiduciary duties hereunder.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Escrow Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 22nd day of February, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Berexco LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“Seller”), Pacific Energy Development MSL LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Buyer”), and Hinkle Law Firm, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“Escrow Agent”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller are parties to that certain Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment dated February 22, 2013 (the “AFPOTA”);

WHEREAS, Seller previously entered into a similar Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment with Condor Energy Technology LLC (“Condor”), an affiliate of Buyer, dated November 30, 2012 (the “Condor AFPOTA”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Condor AFPOTA, the parties thereto and Escrow Agent entered into an Escrow Agreement dated November 30, 2012 (the “Condor Escrow Agreement”), under which Condor paid into escrow the sum of Eight Hundred and Sixty-four Thousand, Eight Hundred and Sixty-six and No/100 Dollars ($864,866.00) which was referred to in the Condor AFPOTA as the “Performance Deposit”;

WHEREAS, in a letter agreement dated February 8, 2013, Seller and Condor mutually agreed to terminate the Condor AFPOTA, and Condor assigned all its right, title and interest in and to the Condor Escrow Agreement and the Performance Deposit to PEDEVCO Corp. (“PEDEVCO”), an affiliate of Buyer;

WHEREAS, Buyer, Seller and PEDEVCO desire to terminate the Condor Escrow Agreement; transfer PEDEVCO’s interests in and to the Performance Deposit to Buyer; have the Performance Deposit under the Condor AFPOTA, plus interest, less escrow fees, become the Performance Deposit under the AFPOTA; and enter into a new Escrow Agreement covering said Performance Deposit as contemplated by the AFPOTA; and

WHEREAS, Escrow Agent is willing to terminate the Condor Escrow Agreement and hold and/or release the Performance Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Term. This Agreement shall be effective and in full force and effect and binding upon the parties hereto, from the Effective Date until the final distribution and/or release by Escrow Agent of all of the Performance Deposit, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder, unless expressly set forth herein.

2. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Seller and Buyer hereby appoint Hinkle Law Firm, LLC to serve as Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts and agrees to perform its obligation as set forth in the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the terms and provisions of the AFPOTA nor any amendments or modifications thereto unless it expressly agrees, in writing, to be bound by such terms and provisions.

3. Management of Deposit. Buyer and Seller agree that the Performance Deposit being held by Escrow Agent pursuant to the Condor AFPOTA and the Condor Escrow Agreement shall be, and is hereby deemed to be, the Performance Deposit under the AFPOTA. Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold the Performance Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller agree that Escrow Agent shall be entitled to keep the Performance Deposit in an account with INTRUST BANK, N.A., Wichita, Kansas which account has been established by Escrow Agent for the sole purpose of holding the Performance Deposit (the “Escrow Account”). The Performance Deposit shall be and remain the property of the Buyer and shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer. Escrow Agent shall disburse the Performance Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4. Escrow Information. The Performance Deposit shall be deposited in the Escrow Account, which Escrow Account shall be a separately segregated interest bearing account. Any interest earned by the principal in the Performance Deposit shall be accumulated in the Escrow Account, shall be considered a part of the Performance Deposit and shall be released by Escrow Agent as Escrow Agent shall be directed as provided herein; provided, however, any dispute concerning release of the Performance Deposit shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall provide Escrow Agent with their respective taxpayer ID numbers concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.

5. Disbursements of Performance Deposit. Escrow Agent shall disburse the Performance Deposit in accordance with the following terms:

(a) Upon receipt of written notice from Seller that the Closing has occurred as provided for in the AFPOTA, Escrow Agent shall disburse the entire amount of the Performance Deposit, including any accrued interest, less any escrow fees, to Seller.

(b) In any other situation, Buyer and Seller may, at any time, provide an agreed written notice to Escrow Agent, requesting that funds be released (the “Funds Release Notice”). To be valid, the Funds Release Notice must be executed by both Buyer and Seller, must state the amount of such funds to be released, and must state to whom the funds are to be released.

6. Dispute Resolution Mechanism. In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties to this Agreement, or between them or either of any of them and any other person, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with this Agreement or in the event that Escrow Agent may, in good faith, question any action that should be taken hereunder, Escrow Agent may, at Escrow Agent’s option, (i) refuse to comply with any claim or demand on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and in any such event Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to any person for its failure or refusal to act, and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to so refrain from acting until the rights of Seller and Buyer shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, or all differences shall have been adjusted and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, or (ii) file an action in interpleader to resolve such disagreement and deposit with the registrar of the court in which it files such action any and all of the Performance Deposit in its possession and, thereupon, it shall stand fully relieved and discharged of any further duties under the Agreement. The rights of the Escrow Agent under this paragraph are cumulative of all other rights which it may have by law or otherwise.

7. Duties of Escrow Agent. The duties of Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) accepting the Performance Deposit, (ii) disbursing the Performance Deposit, and/or (iii) reporting earnings on interest to the IRS.

8. Liability and Protection of Escrow Account.

(a) Powers – Generally. Escrow Agent shall have only the rights, powers, privileges and duties expressly set forth in this Agreement, together with those rights, powers, and privileges reasonably incident thereto, and is not a party to, and is not bound by, or charged with notice of any agreement other than this Agreement.

(b) Actions on Notice, etc. Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, certificate, receipt, authorization, power of attorney or other document which Escrow Agent, in good faith, reasonably believes to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties.

(c) Advice of Counsel. Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of its legal counsel (including any attorneys with Hinkle Law Firm, LLC) in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and shall incur no liability as a result of reliance on such advice.

(d) Resignation. Escrow Agent shall have the right to resign hereunder upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller and Buyer. If Escrow Agent resigns or otherwise fails or refuses to act as Escrow Agent, then Seller and Buyer shall use their reasonable business efforts to agree upon a substitute Escrow Agent. In addition, Escrow Agent may be removed by the mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer.

(e) Liability – Negligent Acts. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, except for acts which constitute gross negligence, or willful misconduct or which constitute a breach of its duties hereunder.

(f) Insurance. Escrow Agent is not an insurer for the safety of the Performance Deposit. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for a loss of any of the funds by reason of bank failure.

9. Compensation for Services.

Buyer and Seller shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of such compensation but the final responsibility shall lie with Seller. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct any and all compensation due from the Performance Deposit prior to making any disbursements.

10. Indemnity. Seller and Buyer agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, damages, judgments, attorneys’ fees, expenses and obligations and liabilities of any kind or nature which Escrow Agent may incur or sustain in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, except to the extent due to Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of its duties hereunder. In addition, each party agrees to indemnify Escrow Agent from all costs, legal fees, and expenses incurred by Escrow Agent (including those legal fees of attorneys who practice with Escrow Agent) in connection with or arising out of (i) seeking recovery from such party under or pursuant to the terms of this indemnity paragraph; (ii) defending any litigation which arises out of or relates to this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof by any party, including Escrow Agent; and (iii) seeking recovery of any compensation which is due Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct any and all such amounts due or alleged to be due from the Performance Deposit.

11. Survival. The terms and provisions of paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

12. Liability, Duties and Obligations of Escrow Agent. The parties hereby agree as follows:

PARTIAL TERM ASSIGNMENT OF OIL AND GAS LEASES

STATE OF ___________________§

COUNTY OF__________________§

This Partial Term Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases (the “Assignment”) is made and entered into as of the 15th day of March, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Berexco LLC, _________________________________________

hereinafter collectively referred to as “Assignor”, whether one or more, and Pacific Energy Development MSL LLC, hereinafter referred to as “Assignee”.

W I T N E S S E T H:

Assignor, in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, and other good and valuable consideration, and of the other agreements of Assignee herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, does hereby transfer, assign and convey unto Assignee, subject to the exceptions, reservations, conditions and other provisions hereinafter set out, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the leasehold and contractual working interest rights in and to the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A attached hereto,such lease(s) being hereinafter sometimes referred to as “the Leases”, and in the "Contracts" as such term is defined in the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), INSOFAR AND ONLY INSOFAR as the Leases and Contracts cover the Mississippi formation underlying lands described in Exhibit “A”, limited to production therefrom from wells drilled by Assignee thereon after the Effective Date. The Mississippi formation is defined as the stratigraphic equivalent of all depths between 4,982 feet and 5,391 feet, inclusive, as shown on the Log-Tech Dual Compensated Porosity log dated February 22, 2007 for the Peppard #3-20 well (API #15-033-21490-0000) located near the center of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 20, Township 31 South, Range 17 West (SE/4SE/4NW/4NE/4 Sec. 20-31s-17w), Comanche County, Kansas.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases, this Assignment shall be for a term commencing on the Effective Date and ending December 29, 2014, and shall terminate in all respects upon the expiration of such term.

This Assignment is delivered pursuant, and is made expressly subject, to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment dated February 22, 2013, by and between Berexco LLC, et al., and Pacific Energy Development MSLLLC, which agreement is on file in the office of Berexco LLC at 2020 N. Bramblewood, Wichita, KS 67206 (the “Agreement”). Assignor and Assignee intend that the terms of the Agreement remain separate and distinct from, and not merge into, the terms of this Assignment. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Assignment and the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern and prevail.

Assignor hereby reserves unto Assignor and excepts from this Assignment:

a) Any and all rights not expressly conveyed to Assignee in this Assignment, including, without limitation, all existing wells, equipment, facilities, and other personal property on or related to the Leases; all of Assignor's right, title and interest in and to all depths outside the Mississippi Formation; the right to drill and complete new wells on the Leases for the production of hydrocarbons from formations other than the Mississippi Formation; and all right, title and interest of Assignor within the Mississippi Formation necessary to allow Assignor to re-enter, workover, complete, re-complete, fracture treat, and produce hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation in any well which has been drilled on the Leases (or on lands unitized therewith) prior to the execution of the Agreement (provided, however, Assignor shall not convert an existing vertical well into a horizontal well targeting production from the Mississippi Formation).

b) An overriding royalty interest in and to all hydrocarbons produced from the Property equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date from: (i) twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) before Payout (as such term is hereinafter defined); (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) upon and after Payout, proportionately reduced to the extent Assignor's working interest in the Lease assigned is less than 100%. To the extent leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date exceed these respective percentages, Assignor reserves no overriding royalty interest. It is the intention of Assignor to deliver to Assignee a leasehold net revenue interest in each Lease equal to the lesser of seventy-seven and one-half percent (77.5%) or Assignor's actual net revenue interest in and to Leases before Payout; and a leasehold net revenue interest equal to the lesser of seventy-five percent (75%) or Assignor’s actual net revenue interest in and to Leases after Payout. The term "Payout" as used herein shall mean “Payout” as defined in the Agreement.

c) The continuing preferential right and option, from time to time and at any time, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any part of the hydrocarbons produced and saved by Assignee from any well drilled by Assignee on the Leases, upon the terms and conditions described in the Agreement.

RECIPIENT hereby agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Evaluation Material is of a proprietary and confidential nature and that damage could result to BEREXCO if information or data contained therein or derived therefrom is disclosed to any third party; (b) such Confidential Information is made available to RECIPIENT subject to, and in consideration of, RECIPIENT’S agreement that RECIPIENT will maintain the confidentiality of it and the Evaluation Material; (c) RECIPIENT will use the Evaluation Material solely for the review and evaluation contemplated hereby and for no other purpose; and (d) RECIPIENT will not disclose the Evaluation Material, in whole or in part, to any third party other than RECIPIENT’S directors. officers, employees, agents, affiliates, consultants, members or partners (“Representatives”).and/or partners unless expressly authorized by BEREXCO in writing to do so.

Berexco agrees to provide to Pacific approximately 10.5 square miles of 3-D seismic data owned by Berexco and covering the areas depicted on the plats attached hereto, which plats are incorporated by reference. This license to use the geophysical data on a non-exclusive basis can be terminated by mutual agreement of the parties after forty-nine (49) years from the date of this agreement or in accordance with paragraph 8 hereinbelow.

2.	The 3-D seismic data to be provided by Berexco shall include the Load Sheet; Design, Acquisition Parameters, and Bid Sheets; available sonic log data within the volumes; and Processed 3-D Seismic Volumes in SGY Format.

3.	Pacific agrees that said data, and copies thereof, shall be for its own internal use only, and that such data shall not be sold, traded or otherwise made available to other parties except under the following conditions:

Data may be made available to a consultant for the purpose of performing an interpretation for Pacific, only if a consultant agrees in writing that the analysis and interpretation made therefrom, will not be divulged to any third party and all data will be returned to Pacific, and

Pacific, shall have the right to reveal said data and any interpretation(s) therefrom, but not provide copies or transfer the data thereof, to any third party or parties with which Pacific proposes to conduct good faith negotiations at arm’s length with respect to the development of minerals in, on or under any region which is geologically related to the area on which the data was taken.

In no case shall third parties other than consultants who have complied with sub-paragraph a. above be allowed to have the data in their possession outside of Pacific’s office or divulge any analysis made therefrom to any other party.

Berexco makes no warranty or representations whatsoever with respect to data delivered hereunder; Pacific acknowledges it is accepting the data “as is” and any action which Pacific may take based on the data received or interpretations therefrom shall be at its sole and only risk and responsibility, and Pacific shall have no claim against Berexco as a result thereof.

This Secondary Term Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases (the “Assignment”) is made and entered into as of the_______ day of ______________, ____ (the "Effective Date") by and between Berexco LLC, _________________________

hereinafter collectively referred to as “Assignor”, whether one or more, and Pacific Energy Development MSLLLC, hereinafter referred to as “Assignee”.

W I T N E S S E T H:

This Assignment is delivered pursuant, and is made expressly subject, to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment dated February 22, 2013, by and between Berexco LLC, et al., and Pacific Energy Development MSL LLC, which agreement is on file in the office of Berexco LLC at 2020 N. Bramblewood, Wichita, KS 67206 (the “Agreement”). Assignor and Assignee intend that the terms of the Agreement remain separate and distinct from, and not merge into, the terms of this Assignment. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Assignment and the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern and prevail.

Assignor, in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, and other good and valuable consideration, and of the other agreements of Assignee herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, does hereby transfer, assign and convey unto Assignee, subject to the exceptions, reservations, conditions and other provisions hereinafter set out, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the leasehold and contractual working interest rights in and to the Oil and Gas Lease(s) described on Exhibit “A attached hereto, such lease(s) being hereinafter sometimes referred to as “the Leases”, and in the "Contracts" as such term is defined in the Agreement , INSOFAR AND ONLY INSOFAR as the Leases and Contracts cover the Mississippi formation underlying lands described in Exhibit “A” (that portion of the Leases assigned hereunder being sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Property"). The Mississippi formation is defined as the stratigraphic equivalent of all depths between 4,982 feet and 5,391 feet, inclusive, as shown on the Log-Tech Dual Compensated Porosity log dated February 22, 2007 for the Peppard #3-20 well (API #15-033-21490-0000) located near the center of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 20, Township 31 South, Range 17 West (SE/4SE/4NW/4NE/4 Sec. 20-31s-17w), Comanche County, Kansas.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases and the Agreement, and to the further provisions hereof, this Assignment shall be for a term commencing on the Effective Date and continuing for so long thereafter as oil, gas, other liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, and/or other minerals, or any of them or any combination thereof (hereinafter referred to as "Hydrocarbons") are produced in commercial quantities from the Mississippi formation in the __________ well located _______________________ (the "Producing Well;"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases and the Agreement, upon cessation of production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi formation in commercial quantities from such Producing Well, this Assignment shall not terminate if: (a) Assignee has previously drilled an additional well on the Property or on a production unit approved by Assignor which includes any portion of the Property (an "Additional Well) which Additional Well is then producing Hydrocarbons in commercial quantities from the Mississippi formation, or (b) within the time periods provided in the Agreement, (i) Assignee commences and continuously prosecutes reworking operations on the Producing Well and re-establishes production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi formation in commercial quantities from such Producing Well or (ii) Assignee commences and continuously prosecutes drilling and completion operations for a new well on the Property or on a production unit approved by Assignor which includes any portion of the Property(a "New Well") and establishes production of Hydrocarbons from the Mississippi formation in commercial quantities from such New Well; provided, however, unless this Assignment remains in effect under the provisions of (b)(i) above, this Assignment shall terminate as to any acreage for which Assignee would not have earned a Secondary Term Assignment under the Agreement by completion of any such Additional Well or New Well, and, subject to the terms of the Leases and the Agreement, shall remain in effect as to such acreage applicable to any such Additional Well or New Well for so long as Hydrocarbons are produced in commercial quantities from such Additional Well or New Well.

Assignor hereby reserves unto Assignor and excepts from this Assignment:

I) Any and all rights not expressly conveyed to Assignee in this Assignment, including, without limitation, all existing wells, equipment, facilities, and other personal property on or related to the Leases; all of Assignor's right, title and interest in and to all depths outside the Mississippi Formation; the right to drill and complete new wells on the Leases for the production of hydrocarbons from formations other than the Mississippi Formation; and all right, title and interest of Assignor within the Mississippi Formation necessary to allow Assignor to re-enter, workover, complete, re-complete, fracture treat, and produce hydrocarbons from the Mississippi Formation in any well which has been drilled on the Leases (or on lands unitized therewith) prior to the execution of this Agreement (provided, however, Assignor shall not convert an existing vertical well into a horizontal well targeting production from the Mississippi Formation).

II) An overriding royalty interest in and to all hydrocarbons produced from the Property equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date from: (i) twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) before Payout (as such term is hereinafter defined); (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) upon and after Payout, proportionately reduced to the extent Assignor's working interest in the Lease assigned is less than 100%. To the extent leasehold burdens existing as of the Effective Date exceed these respective percentages, Assignor reserves no overriding royalty interest. It is the intention of Assignor to deliver to Assignee a leasehold net revenue interest in each Lease equal to the lesser of seventy-seven and one-half percent (77.5%) or Assignor's actual net revenue interest in and to the Leases before Payout; and a leasehold net revenue interest equal to the lesser of seventy-five percent (75%) or Assignor’s actual net revenue interest in and to the Leases after Payout. The term "Payout" as used herein shall mean “Payout” as defined in the Agreement.

III) The continuing preferential right and option, from time to time and at any time, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any part of the hydrocarbons produced and saved by Assignee from any well drilled by Assignee on the Leases, upon the terms and conditions described in the Agreement.

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS MADE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR AT COMMON LAW; EXCEPT THAT ASSIGNOR SHALL WARRANT AND DEFEND TITLE FROM AND AGAINST ANY PARTY CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER ASSIGNOR, BUT NOT OTHERWISE.
