|
15.
|
Mesa shall make a good faith effort to get the Third Party Working Interest Owners to join the AMI Agreement.
|
|

Operations of the Jeffrey Lease subsequent to completion of the Work Program will require a Joint Operating Agreement (“JOA”) among the working interest owners.

Prior to Closing Mesa shall obtain an executed copy of the JOA from each of the Third Party Working Interest Owners. At Closing Mesa shall deliver to Stratex a copy of the JOA executed by all working interest owners or multiple copies of the JOA executed in kind by each working interest owner.
