SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 15, 2016, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Tullow and Dana ("Settlement Agreement") that gave us 100% of the interest under the PSC, property useful in the drilling of an exploratory well, and cash, in return for a mutual release of all claims. We will record the property received and a gain once they have been inspected and appropriately valued. On August 19, 2016, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Guinea and executed a Second Amendment to the PSC ("2016 Amendment") on September 15, 2016. As more fully described below, upon receipt of a Presidential Decree, the 2016 Amendment will give us a one year extension to the second exploration period of the PSC to September 22, 2017 ("PSC Extension Period"). In addition to clarifying certain elements of the PSC, we agreed in the 2016 Amendment to drill one (1) exploratory well to a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below the seabed within the PSC Extension Period with a projected commencement date of April 2017 (the "Extension Well") with the option of drilling additional wells. If the Extension Well is not drilled within the PSC Extension Period, we will owe the Government of Guinea the difference between the actual expenditures in Guinea related to the well and $46,000,000. Fulfillment of the work obligations exempts us from the expenditure obligations during the PSC Extension Period. In turn, we will retain only an area equivalent to approximately 5,000 square kilometers in the Guinea offshore and will provide the Government of Guinea: (1) A parent company guarantee for the well obligation, (2) monthly progress reports and a reconciliation of budget to actual expenditures, (failure to provide the reports and assurances on a timely basis in a notice of termination with a 30 day period to cure), and (3) guarantees to Guinea that (a) no later than January 21, 2017 we will provide a mutually acceptable security for $5,000,000 on terms customary in international petroleum operations, provided that this security is to be released at the time the drilling rig for the Extension Well is on location offshore Guinea, and (b) no later than April 12, 2017, we will deliver a mutually acceptable security for the difference between $46,000,000 and the amount spent to date on the Extension Well. For the purposes of calculation for this clause, however, only costs spent for services and goods provided in Guinea shall be taken into account until the drilling rig to be used in the drilling of the Extension Well is located in the territorial waters of the Republic of Guinea. If we do not provide either security by the specified dates, the Government of Guinea may terminate the PSC immediately and without prior notice to remedy such deficiency. Additionally, we agreed to limit the cost recovery pool to date to our share of expenditures in the PSC since 2009 (estimated to be approximately $150,000,000) and move into the territory of Guinea the long lead items we received in the Settlement Agreement that are currently in Takoradi, Ghana for the drilling of the Extension Well by January 31, 2017. Finally, we agreed to allocate and administer a training budget during the PSC Extension Period for the benefit of the Guinea National Petroleum Office of $250,000 in addition to any unused portion of the training program under Article 10.3 of the PSC, estimated to be approximately $500,000. Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC as amended subjects us to financial penalties and a risk of loss of the Concession. The continued delays have affected adversely the ability to explore the Concession and reduces the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing sources. While we currently hold 100% of the Concession, it is unknown whether we will be able to raise the necessary funds to drill the exploratory well during the PSC Extension Period.
