Recitals.
 
1.1           BSA is the landlord and AMT is the tenant under that certain Lease dated April 13, 2006 (as amended from time-to-time, the “Lease”) between Sepulveda Group, LLC, a California limited liability company (predecessor-in-interest to BSA) and AMT, pursuant to which AMT leases from BSA certain premises located in Nueces County, Texas, as more specifically described in the Lease (the “Premises”).

1.2           BSA has entered into or is contemplating entering into an agreement to sell the real property on which the Premises is located (the “Property”) to Magnum Oil Tools or Lynn Frazier (or a party affiliated with one of these parties) (“Buyer”).

1.3           Concurrently herewith the parties hereto have entered into a First Amendment to Lease which provides, among other things, for the early termination of the Lease, contingent upon the occurrence of the closing of the sale of the Property to Buyer.

1.4           Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows.

2.           Effectiveness.  This Agreement is contingent upon and shall be effective only upon the closing of the Sale as established by the recordation of the deed transferring the Property from BSA to Buyer in the official records of Nueces County, Texas (the “Sale”).  The “Sale Date” shall be the date that the deed transferring the Property from BSA to Buyer is recorded in the official records of Nueces County, Texas.

3.           Payment.  In consideration for the early termination of the Lease as provided in the First Amendment to Lease, which consideration is and shall be deemed fully earned and payable upon the occurrence of the Sale and on the Sale Date without regard to when the Lease is actually terminated, AMT promises to pay to the order of BSA or its nominee or assignee, in lawful money of the United States as and where designated by BSA, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).  AMT will pay such amount in ten (10) equal monthly installments of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) each.  The first payment shall be made on the date which is one (1) month after the Sale Date, and each subsequent payment shall be made monthly thereafter on the same day of the month.  If any payment hereunder is not paid when due, it shall bear interest from the due date thereof until paid at the higher of (a) the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or (b) the highest legal interest rate.  AMT may, at any time, prepay all or any part of the amount due under this Agreement.
