2. Drilling/Payment Obligations
2.1 | On the date that Angels Exploration Fund signs this Agreement, Frontier will pay to Angels Exploration Fund the sum of C$1.00 |
2.2 | On the date that the parties receive approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Exchange”) of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, Frontier will issue Jeff Cocks 5,000,000 common shares in the capital of Frontier Energy Corp (the “Payment Shares”) subject to certain provisions set forth below. The Payment Shares will be subject to such resale restrictions as required by the Exchange or applicable regulatory authorities. |
(a) | Restrictive Legend. The Secretary of the Company may endorse all certificates representing the Payment Shares and all certificates representing Shares issued or transferred after this Agreement is entered into with a legend substantially in the following form, the terms of which are agreed upon by the Investor: |
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (a) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (b) THIS CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES SATISFACTORY TO THIS CORPORATION STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (c) THIS CORPORATION OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

(b) | Stop Transfer Order; No Transfer in Violation of Agreement. Mr. Cocks agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with this Agreement’s restrictions, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares will have been so transferred. |
- 2 - -
(c) | Upset Provision. In the event that Angels or Mr. Cocks are unable to finance $1,000,000 (USD) in 90 days from the signing of this Agreement (at terms acceptable to the Board of Directors), the Company will acquire 4,500,000 of the Payment Shares in exchange for the mutual release of this Agreement by all parties. In the event that Angels and Mr. Cocks are unable to finance less than $2,000,000 (USD) within 90 days from the signing of this Agreement, the Company will have the right to cancel 2,500,000 of the total Payment Shares. |
2.3 | On or before November 30, 2005, Frontier (the “Farmee”) will, subject to surface access and all regulatory approvals, commence the drilling of a test Well (the “First Test Well”) at Angels Exploration Fund’s pre-determined location on the Farmin Lands. Frontier will drill the First Test Well diligently and continuously to Contract Depth and either complete, cap or abandon the First Test Well. The budget for the First Test Well will be approximately C$250,000 dry hole cost and/or C$400,000 to completion. |
2.4 | Within 90 days of completing, capping or abandoning the First Test Well, Frontier will, subject to surface access and all regulatory approvals, commence the drilling of a second test Well (the “Second Test Well”) at Angels Exploration Fund’s pre-determined location on the Farmin Lands. Frontier will drill the Second Test Well diligently and continuously to Contract Depth and either complete, cap or abandon the Second Test Well. The budget for the Second Test Well will be approximately C$250,000 dry hole cost and/or C$400,000 to completion. The Farmee will have a continuing option to drill Option Wells to earn undrilled sections of the farmout lands until the Farmee fails to drill an option well or all of the Farmout Lands that have been earned. |
2.5 | If, after drilling to Contract Depth, Frontier elects to take the First Test Well to completion, then upon completion of the First Test Well (the “Completion Date”), Frontier will issue to Angels Exploration Fund 100,000 common shares in the capital of Frontier (the “Completion Shares”). The Completion Shares will be issued subject to such resale restrictions required by the Exchange or applicable regulatory authorities. For greater certainty, Frontier will not have any obligation to issue Completion Shares to Angels Exploration Fund in the event Frontier does not complete the First Test Well. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Frontier does not complete the First Test Well, but does complete the Second Test Well, then Frontier will issue the Completion Shares as above, with the Completion Date being the date that Frontier completes the Second Test Well. |
3. | Interest Earned |
3.1 | Provided Frontier has fulfilled its obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement, Frontier will, subject to Article 3.00 of the Farmout and Royalty Procedure, have earned 80% of Angels Exploration Fund’s working interest in the Farmin Lands, from the surface to the base of the Colony formation or 900 meters subsurface, subject to A 10% Overriding Royalty with no right of conversion in Article 6.00 of the Farmout and Royalty Procedure. |

4. | Reasonable Extension |
4.1 | If, in Frontiers’s reasonably held opinion, ground conditions or other industry-related conditions render the drilling of the First Test Well or the Second Test Well impossible or impracticable, an extension of the time required to spud the Well will be allowed until such time as the adverse condition(s) ceases to exist, with sufficient time then allowed to reasonably permit the drilling of the Well. |
5. | Substitute Well |
5.1 | Frontier may, during the course of drilling the First Test Well or the Second Test Well, abandon it and within 30 days of the time of such abandonment, commence and thereafter diligently and continuously carry on the drilling of a substitute Well at a location mutually agreed to by all parties on the Farmin Lands to Contract Depth and either complete, cap or abandon the substitute Well. In such event, the earning provisions as set forth herein will apply to the substitute Well with the same force and effect. |
6. | Assignment |
6.1 | Frontier will have the right to contract with an industry partner to share its obligations hereunder; however, unless a written amendment to this Agreement is executed by all involved parties, no such arrangements will reduce or otherwise affect Frontiers’s obligations hereunder.

7. | Operator |
7.1 | Angels Exploration Fund Inc will in its absolute discretion appoint the operator (the “Operator”) of all drilling programs conducted pursuant to this Agreement, and Well operations will be performed in accordance with the 1990 CAPL Operating Procedures. |

Angels Exploration Fund does not agree to convey any better title to the Farmin Lands than Response Energy Corporation conveys to it pursuant to the Underlying Agreement. |
9. | Abandonment and Reclamation Costs |
9.1 | Angels Exploration Fund and Geocan Energy Corporation will have the right for a 24 hour period following notice from Frontier to Angels Exploration Fund of its intention to abandon the First Test Well, to take over such Well at their sole cost and expense and conduct such further tests or other operations that they may wish to do. Failure to respond to such notice will be deemed an election not to take over such Well. In the event Angels Exploration Fund and Geocan Energy Corporation elect not to take over the First Test Well, Frontier agrees that it will pay all reclamation costs associated with the First Test Well to a maximum of C$40,000. This obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement. |
10. | Termination |
10.1 | The drilling and payment obligations described in Section 2 will be at the sole discretion of Frontier. In the event Frontier does not fulfil its obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate and the interest in the Farmin Lands will revert to the interests prior to this Agreement and, subject to Section 9.1, neither party will be indebted to the other. |
