REMARKS

The estimated investment amount refers to approved investments, which are those that operators estimate they will carry out in the various plans, as applicable (exploration, evaluation, and/or development).

The license agreement for the extraction of hydrocarbons stipulates that the contractor will provide and be responsible for all technical and financial resources required for the execution of the operations and will have the right of ownership over the hydrocarbons extracted in the contractual area. The Contractor will pay a royalty, based on audited Hydrocarbons.

The State is a partner of the contractor. The contributions for the State are:
1. The contractual fee for the exploration phase
2. Consideration based on gross income before deducting costs
3. Adjustment mechanism based on production volume and prices

There are two possible extensions in the contract term subject to the area being in regular commercial production, the first extension of 10 years and a second extension for an additional period of 5 years.
