Houghton Investments LLC (hereinafter "Houghton") whereby Marksmen will acquire
a 50% working interest in a well on a lease of approximately 50 acres in Morrow
County, Ohio, by paying 50% of the drilling and completion costs. In addition to
the first well, Marksmen has an option to participate in a second well under the
same terms and conditions.

light oil (Ohio Geological Society). Individual well recoveries within portions
of the field are reported as high as 500,000 barrels of oil (Society of
