§
   

 
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective the 1st day of September 2006 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Wharton Resources LP, a Texas Limited Partnership, hereinafter called “Wharton”, and Orbit Energy, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, hereinafter called the “Orbit”.

(b)   The lands associated with the leases described in Exhibit “A”, any additional leases acquired that expands or extents the lease acreage under the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit “A”, and any acreage acquired or contiguous to the proposed Mound Branch Gathering System, all which are hereinafter referred to as the “Area of Mutual Interest” (the “AMI”), all as presented in Exhibit “B”;
 
(c)   Based on results to date, Orbit has determined that additional testing and evaluation of the AMI is warranted;
 
(d)   Wharton desires to participate in the further evaluation and assessment of the AMI, and based on the outcome from such evaluations, may have an interest to participate in the Mound Branch Infrastructure and Reserve Development Program;
 
(e)   Wharton is willing to contribute funding necessary to effect and progress additional testing and evaluation of the AMI; and

1 / 9

 
(f)   Based on the conclusions reach from such testing and evaluation, Parties desire to enter into good faith negotiations to develop a definitive purchase and sale agreement for:
 
 
 
(i)
the oil and gas leases identified in Exhibit “A”,
 
 
(ii)
any additional acres that may be acquired in the AMI (including acreage associated with the proposed Mound Branch Gathering Line) as identified in Exhibit “B”; and
 
 
(iii)
existing well bores that have been drilled to date (8 wells) on the AMI lease acreage including a quantification of the fair value of the Mound Branch leases and existing well bores that would be subject to the purchase and sale agreement.
 
PARTIES NOW THEREFORE AGREE:
 
 
1.
Wharton will remit payment to Orbit totaling one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (the “Initial Payment”) on the Effective Date of this Agreement, for Orbit’s use in conducting additional testing and evaluations of the AMI;
 
 
2.
The Initial Payment made by Wharton to Orbit shall be applied against the purchase and sale price for the AMI negotiated pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement;
 
 
3.
Orbit shall conduct all testing and evaluations of the AMI within ninety days (90) of the Effective Date of this Agreement;
 
 
4.
Orbit shall give Wharton a minimum of twenty-four hour (24) notice of any tests to be performed on the AMI, and Wharton shall have the right to witness and observe the testing procedures, if it so elects;
 
 
5.
Whether witnessed or not, Orbit shall provide Wharton with the results and conclusions of all evaluations and tests performed with twenty-four hours (24) of Orbit’s receipt of such materials;
 
 
6.
Parties agree to use best efforts in the development of a definitive purchase and sale agreement for all lease acreage within the AMI, and for existing wells bores drilled to date in the AMI;
 
 
7.

2 / 9

 
 
8.
Shall Parties be unable to mutually agree on the fair value of the purchase and sale transaction, Parties agree to engage an independent third party, acceptable to both Parties, to make a fair market value appraisal of the assets subject to the purchase and sale agreement;
 
 
9.
Parties agree to use the fair value developed in the appraisal by the independent third party for the definitive purchase and sale agreement to be formulated between Parties;
 
 
10.
Wharton’s rights under this Agreement shall be exclusive, and for one-hundred fifty days (150) after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Orbit agrees not to initiate, solicit or consider any other offers associated with the AMI and any/or other tangible or intangible assets covered by or included in the AMI, and Orbit agrees to provide written notification to Wharton of any such solicitations or offers within twenty-four (24) hours of its receipt of such;
 
 
11.
Orbit may not assign this Agreement, without Wharton’s consent which may not be unreasonably withheld. Wharton may assign this Agreement without Orbit’s consent, in so much as the assignment is related to a merger or other transaction entered into by Wharton to effect financing;
 
 
12.
Orbit shall indemnify Wharton and its representatives, officers, directors, agents, employees harmless from any and all third party claims, liens, and demands arising out of Orbit’s operations in the AMI;
 
 
13.
Orbit shall maintain insurance to cover all its activities in and on the AMI that would be reasonable and customary in the U.S. oil and gas industry;
 
 
14.
This Agreement shall be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas;
 
 
15.
All Parties duties, obligations and liabilities hereto intended under this Agreement shall be severable, and not joint or collective;
