RE: Letter of Authorization
Gentlemen:
This authorizes JA Energy, a Nevada corporation, to transfer and assign any and all of my liabilities that were on the books of JA Energy, as of March 31, 2014 to JAEN Sub, a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary.
The reason for this transfer, is that once all of the assets and liabilities, as of March 31, 2014, are transferred to this newly formed subsidiary, JA Energy will spin-off the subsidiary. JAEN Sub will be divested from JA Energy and no longer be a wholly owned subsidiary. It will operate as a separate entity, with different management, and I shall have control of JAEN Sub.
This provides you with my notarized signature and authorizes you to execute this transfer, effective immediately.
Sincerely,
/s/ James D. Lusk
