Dear Mr. Miles:
 
This letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) sets forth our understanding of the mutual intentions of the parties regarding the proposed transaction between Quest Canada Corp., (“Quest”) and Endeavor Energy Corp, (“Endeavor”).

Each party understands and acknowledges that this is a binding Letter of Intent and this Letter of Intent does create a binding contract, which will be subject to more definitive agreements. Both parties agree to complete definitive agreements within fifteen business days of execution of the Letter of Intent.

1.  Structure of Transaction.
 
1.1  Endeavor Data Acquisition. Endeavor will acquire from Quest a non-Exclusive License of 3D Seismic data owned by Quest Canada covering 10 square miles. The license fee to be paid by Endeavor to Quest will be Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000 US), (the “Licensing Fee”). The Licensing Fee shall be payable to Quest Canada upon execution of this Letter of Intent and release of the data by an escrow agent. A complete inventory of the data is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Endeavor is entitled and will receive repayment of risk capital of $250,000 by Endeavor from the production of the first production gas well, to the extent there is production from the new wells drilled. Endeavor agrees to pay all costs associated with interpreting the data which shall be for internal use only and completed within 60 days of delivery of the data. Quest shall have ownership of all results of the interpretation and internal documents that pertain to the seismic area surveyed.

If Endeavor chooses not to proceed with this drilling commitment, for whatever reason, then Endeavor, including its affiliates, officers and directors, will forfeit all rights it has under this agreement; excluding the new wells and re-works on existing wells to the extent Endeavor expends funds on the properties, which Endeavor shall maintain; within the Covered Properties, and shall return all copies of the 3D seismic data and its interpretation.
