Promissory Note to EuroEnergy Growth Capital S.A.
On April 1, 2008, we issued a promissory note to EuroEnergy Growth Capital S.A. in the amount of US$250,000. EuroEnergy Growth Capital S.A. owns 1,028,245 shares of our common stock (representing 6.87% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of May 6, 2008) and 1,028,245 share purchase warrants.

Letter of Commitment with Senergy Limited
On April 15, 2008, we signed a letter of commitment with Senergy Limited, an international integrated oil services company, to utilize the Byford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig to drill a well on our Bourbon prospect. Senergy Limited countersigned the letter of commitment on May 5, 2008.
Synergy Limited has a formal opportunity to contract the Byford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig at a base operating rate of $385,000 (subject to Dolphin Drilling Limited's confirmation of the rig's continued availability) and is willing to offer this to us under an assignment or re-supply contract to carry out our well program.
We have committed to enter into a rig re-supply or rig assignment contract with Senergy Limited to use the rig at the base operating rate of $385,000 per day. We also committed to enter into a well project management and integrated services contract with Senergy Limited to manage our well program on the rig. We also committed to enter into a side letter agreement with Senergy Limited and its other clients who will be using the rig under parallel agreements similar to the rig re-supply or rig assignment contract to share any mobilization and demobilization or other costs that can be reasonably and equitably be shared on a pro-rata basis (based on days the rig is used). Finally, we committed to a slot duration of 22 days commencing no earlier than October 1, 2008.
The letter of commitment is valid until the earlier of notification from Senergy Limited that no slot is available on the rig that meets the above time constraint or May 31, 2008 (unless extended in writing) unless Senergy Limited has entered into a contract for the rig including our well program, in which case the term of the letter of commitment endures until its commitments are met.
We have also undertaken to pay Senergy Limited 1.75% of the operating rig rate, for the duration of the use of the rig under the rig-supply or rig assignment contract if we use the rig, but do not use Senergy Limited's integrated project management services.
On April 1, 2008, EuroEnergy Growth Capital S.A. loaned a total of US$250,000 to our company. As evidence of the loan, we have executed and delivered to EuroEnergy Growth Capital S.A. a promissory note dated April 1, 2008 in the principal amount of US$250,000, to be paid on the earlier of (i) the date that we obtain equity financing from a third party in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 net to our company, or (ii) April 1, 2009. For the period from the date of advance of the loan up to and including the date that we repay the loan, interest will accrue on the loan on the balance of principal outstanding at the
rate of 10% per annum, calculated and compounded monthly not in advance, until paid. Interest will be payable in a balloon payment on the date that we repay the loan.
