If for any reason this well is not re-entered as a sidetrack recompletion, all money paid in by each investor will be refunded or transferred to another project, whichever the investor elects to choose.

         Rockwell Energy will be the Managing Operator, and will furnish such professional, administrative and other services as may be necessary to conduct the business, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, having essentially the following terms:

TERMS:

         Rockwell is hereby offering working interest participants in the above-captioned wellbore recompletion as outlined herein. This is an offer to purchase a working interest in an existing producing well, with the purpose of reworking the well to increase production of natural gas and condensate. Operations will be conducted pursuant to the enclosed Operating Agreement, A.A.P.L. Form 610.

         Working interest owners will pay 100% of all costs attributable to the leasehold, legal, workover sidetrack drilling procedures, and testing the said existing wellbore. After the Whipstock and Sidetrack Drilling procedures are successfully accomplished, working interest owners will pay 100% of all further costs to completion to tanks, including a frac treatment if necessary. After completion and production is established, all parties with assigned Working Interest ownership (including Rockwell) shall be responsible for their own individual related share of costs in maintenance and future workovers and recompletions in other zones.

         Working interest owners will receive their proportionate percentage of the total well interest revenues, minus royalties to landowners and normal operating costs attributed to the well operations. Rockwell is receiving a 25% carried working interest in the well until "payout" of all investment principal to the investors/partners; then Rockwell will "back in" for additional 25% of the working interest of the well revenues. In other words, it will be a revenue split of 75% for the investors/partners and 25% for Rockwell until pay back of investment funds, then it will be a 50/50 split for investors/partners and Rockwell.

Prospect Generation Fees, Workover Expenses & Frac Treatment Costs:

$660,000.00

Estimated Total Costs Per 1% Working Interest

$ 8,800.00

*Participants in the recompletion of the Janssen 1-A wellbore can pay the initial estimated costs for the Sidetrack Re-entry Workover & Frac procedures by check or wire transfer.
