A.

JED has entered into agreements with Enterra and JMG to formalize their mutually synergistic business relationships.  Under a newly signed Agreement of Business Principles, asset acquisitions by Enterra will be contract operated and drilled by JMG if they are exploratory prospects, and contract operated and drilled by JED if they are development projects.  If JMG makes an exploratory find on its assets, when the prospect has been proven to be commercially viable, Enterra will have the right to purchase 80% of JMG’s interest in the prospect at an engineered value determined by independent engineers.  Development of the assets will be done by JED, which will pay 100% of the development costs to earn 70% of the interests of both JMG and Enterra.  Enterra will have a first right to purchase assets developed by JED.  In addition, under a Technical Services Agreement signed between JED and Enterra, JED will provide staff while Enterra will provide offices and other administrative services to JED.  As consultants to Enterra, JED’s employees will be eligible to participate in benefit plans of Enterra, if any.  The agreement formalizes understandings and arrangements which have been verbally agreed to and informally in place since JED’s formation in late 2003.


B.

JED, Enterra and JMG have approved for immediate implementation a Joint Trading, Public Disclosure and Confidentiality Policy for all directors, officers, employees and consultants of the three parties.  Under the Policy, securities may only be traded during 45 day windows commencing on the fourth day following the release of annual and quarterly financial results.  Trading is also prohibited when there is material information which has not been disclosed to the public, in accordance with U.S. and Canadian securities laws.  Short sales and trading in puts and calls are prohibited by the Policy, as are both purchases and sales within six months of each other, with exceptions for stock savings plans and option exercises.
