Future development plans call for drilling and completion of an additional 18 fully permitted drill sites where Cedar holds an average 1.42% working interest and 3 additional locations where Cedar holds a 51.66% working interest. There are also 8 additional locations in which Cedar holds a 33.33% working interest that are covered by permit applications expected to be approved in the second quarter of 2010. The field is relatively young, current production from the field is approximately 1,800 MCF (dthousand cubic feet) gross per day.

We will continue to focus on making acquisitions in known, prolific coal bed methane basins that have current production and cash flow along with a significant component of low risk development potential. These types of acquisitions are immediately accretive to our shareholders and provide a solid foundation for the future growth of 1st NRG."

~~Pursuant~~This toPress Release includes forward-looking statements within the ~~requirements~~meaning of Section 27A of the Securities ~~Exchange~~Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. A statement identified by the words "expects," "projects," "plans," "feels," "anticipates" and certain of the ~~Registrant~~other ~~has~~foregoing ~~duly~~statements ~~caused~~may be deemed "forward-looking statements." Although 1st NRG believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future activities and results to be materially different from those suggested or described in this ~~report~~press release. These include risks inherent in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including risks of fire, explosion, blowout, pipe failure, casing collapse, unusual or unexpected formation pressures, environmental hazards, and other operating and production risks inherent in oil and natural gas drilling and production activities, which may temporarily or permanently reduce production or cause initial production or test results to not be ~~signed~~indicative onof ~~its~~future ~~behalf~~well performance or delay the timing of sales or completion of drilling operations; risks with respect to oil and natural gas prices, a material decline in production which could cause the Company to delay or suspend planned drilling operations or reduce production levels; and risks relating to the availability of capital to fund drilling operations that can be adversely affected by adverse drilling results, production declines and declines in oil and gas prices and other risk factors. In addition, please note that statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the ~~undersigned~~implied assessment, ~~thereunto~~based ~~duly~~on ~~authorized~~certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described can be profitably produced in the future. Such statements represent the Company's internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning, among other things, an outlook on the estimated amounts and timing of capital expenditures, anticipated future debt levels and incentive fees or revenues or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance.

Norris shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in excess of that, if any, initially determined by Company and Norris) within ten days of the receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Norris in writing at least ten days prior to the due date of any response required with respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If Company decides to contest such claim, Norris shall cooperate fully with Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Norris harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company’s action. If, as a result of Company’s action with respect to a claim, Norris receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to such claim, Norris shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company fails to timely notify Norris whether it will contest such claim or Company determines not to contest such claim, then Company shall immediately pay to Norris the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not previously paid to Norris.

5.6 Release and Full Settlement. As a condition to the receipt of any severance compensation and benefits under this Agreement, Norris must first execute a release and agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company, which (a) shall release and discharge Company and its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, from any and all claims or causes of action of any kind or character (other than with respect to a Gross-up Payment pursuant to Section 5.5), including all claims or causes of action arising out of Norris’ employment with Company or its affiliates or the termination of such employment, and (b) must be effective and irrevocable within 55 days after the termination of Norris’ employment. If Norris is entitled to and receives the benefits provided hereunder, performance of the obligations of Company hereunder will constitute full settlement of all claims that Norris might otherwise assert against Company on account of Norris’ termination of employment.

5.7 Payments Subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, if the payment of any severance compensation or severance benefits under this Agreement would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code because the timing of such payment is not delayed as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then any such payments that Norris (or Norris’ estate) would otherwise be entitled to during the first six months following the date of Norris’ termination of employment shall be accumulated and paid on the date that is six months after the date of Norris’ termination of employment (or if such payment date does not fall on a business day of Company, the next following business day of Company), or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to such additional taxes and interest. Norris hereby agrees to be bound by Company’s determination of its “specified employees” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) in accordance with any of the methods permitted under the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code.

5.8 Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the damages for an early termination of Norris’s employment under this Agreement, Company and Norris hereby agree that the payments, if any, to be received by Norris pursuant to this Article V shall be received by Norris as liquidated damages.

5.9 Other Benefits. This Agreement governs the rights and obligations of Norris and Company with respect to Norris’s base salary and certain perquisites of employment. Except as expressly provided herein, Norris’ rights and obligations both during the term of his employment and thereafter with respect to stock options, restricted stock, incentive and deferred compensation, life insurance policies insuring the life of Norris, and other benefits under the plans and programs maintained by Company shall be governed by the separate agreements, plans and other documents and instruments governing such matters.

(a) Confidential Information. All information, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries, and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed, or acquired by Norris, individually or in conjunction with others, during the period of Norris’ employment by Company (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Company’s premises or otherwise) that relate to Company’s (or any of its affiliates’) business, trade secrets, products, or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, product specification, compositions, manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, research, forms, policies, procedures, financial and sales data, pricing terms, costs, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, employee lists, property lists, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, marketing and merchandising techniques, business plans, negotiation and documentation strategies, computer software or programs, computer software and database technologies, prospective names, and marks (collectively, “Confidential Information”) shall be disclosed to Company and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company (or its affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include (a) any information that is or becomes part of the public domain other than through Norris’ violation of this Article VI; (b) any information previously conceived, made, developed, or acquired by Norris; or (c) information that is independently developed by Norris, without using any Confidential Information.

(b) Work Product. Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, proposals, and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions, and other similar forms of expression (including but not limited to (i) maps, data, and reports that relate to results of exploration, drilling, drill cores, cuttings, and other samples relating to the production and operation of Company’s oil and gas properties (whether owned or prospective) and (ii) title opinions; abstracts of title; land, accounting, production, or operating expense records; engineering, geological, or geophysical data; development plans and permits; or any other material or writing of whatever kind embodying any other information relating to the production and operation of Company’s oil and gas properties (whether owned or prospective)) (collectively, “Work Product”) are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company (or its affiliates).

Upon Norris’ termination of employment with Company, for any reason, Norris promptly shall deliver such Confidential Information and Work Product, and all copies thereof, to Company.

6.2 Disclosure to Norris. Company has and will disclose to Norris, or place Norris in a position to have access to or develop, Confidential Information and Work Product of Company (or its affiliates); and/or has and will entrust Norris with business opportunities of Company (or its affiliates); and/or has and will place Norris in a position to develop business good will on behalf of Company (or its affiliates). Norris agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information or Work Product of Company (or its affiliates).

6.3 No Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Norris agrees that he will not, at any time during or after Norris’ employment by Company, make any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or Work Product of the Company (or its affiliates), and will not make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of Norris’ responsibilities during the course of Norris’ employment with Company. Norris shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Norris shall provide Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any such disclosure, so that Company may seek an appropriate protective order. At the request of Company at any time, Norris agrees to deliver to Company all Confidential Information that he may possess or control. Norris agrees that all Confidential Information of Company (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered, or made by him during the period of Norris’ employment by Company exclusively belongs to Company (and not to Norris), and Norris will promptly disclose such Confidential Information to Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by Company to establish and confirm such exclusive ownership. Affiliates of Company shall be third party beneficiaries of Norris’ obligations under this Article VI. As a result of Norris’ employment by Company, Norris may also from time to time have access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information or Work Product of third parties, such as customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, and the like, of Company and its affiliates. Norris also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of such third party Confidential Information and Work Product to the same extent, and on the same basis, as Company’s Confidential Information and Work Product.

6.4 Ownership by Company. If, during Norris’ employment by Company, Norris creates any work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression that is the subject matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations, or acquisitions, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models, manuals, brochures, or the like) relating to Company’s business, products, or services, whether such work is created solely by Norris or jointly with others (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Company’s premises or otherwise), including any Work Product, Company shall be deemed the author of such work if the work is prepared by Norris in the scope of Norris’ employment; or, if the work is not prepared by Norris within the scope of Norris’ employment but is specially ordered by Company as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, or as an instructional text, then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and Company shall be the author of the work. If such work is neither prepared by Norris within the scope of Norris’ employment nor a work specially ordered that is deemed to be a work made for hire, then Norris hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to Company all of Norris’ worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.

6.5 Assistance by Norris. During the period of Norris’ employment by Company and thereafter, Norris shall assist Company and its nominee, at any time, in the protection of Company’s (or its affiliates’) worldwide right, title, and interest in and to Work Product and the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by Company or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries.

6.6 Remedies. Norris acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article VI by Norris, and Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article VI by terminating payments then owing to Norris under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article VI but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Norris and his agents.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 General. Norris and the Company explicitly recognize that no provision of this Article VII shall prevent either party from seeking to resolve any dispute relating to Article V or Article VI of this Agreement in a court of law.

7.2 Negotiation. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiations between Norris and an executive officer of Company who has authority to settle the controversy. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within ten days after the effective date of such notice, Norris and an executive officer of Company shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within 30 days of the disputing party’s notice, or if the parties fail to meet within ten days, either party may initiate arbitration of the controversy or claim as provided in Section 7.3 below. If a negotiator intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other negotiator shall be given at least three business days’ notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for the purposes of the federal and state rules of evidence and procedure.

7.3 Arbitration. Company and Norris agree that after efforts to negotiate any dispute in accordance with Section 7.2 have failed, then either party may by written notice (the “Notice”) demand arbitration of the dispute as set out below, and each party hereto expressly agrees to submit to, and be bound by, such arbitration.

(a) Each party will, within ten business days of the Notice, nominate an arbitrator, who shall be a non-neutral arbitrator. Each nominated arbitrator must be someone experienced in dispute resolution and of good character without moral turpitude and not within the employ or direct or indirect influence of the nominating party. The two nominated arbitrators will, within ten business days of nomination, agree upon a third arbitrator, who shall be neutral. If the two appointed arbitrators cannot agree on a third arbitrator within such period, the parties may seek such an appointment through any permitted court proceeding or by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The three arbitrators will set the rules and timing of the arbitration, but will generally follow the rules of the AAA and this Agreement where same are applicable and shall provide for a reasoned opinion.

(b) The arbitration hearing will in no event take place more than 180 days after the appointment of the third arbitrator.

(d) The results of the arbitration and the decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties, and each party agrees and acknowledges that these results shall be enforceable in a court of law.

(e) All administrative costs and expenses of the mediation and arbitration shall be borne equally by the Company and Norris during the pendency of the proceedings. Such costs and expenses do not include attorney’s fees, expert witness fees or other party generated expenses.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Indemnification. Company shall continue to indemnify Norris following any termination of this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law consistent with the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Company in effect as of the date of the termination with respect to Norris’ sole, joint, or concurrent negligence and any acts of or omissions he may have committed during the period during which he was an officer, director, and/or employee of (a) Company, (b) any subsidiary thereof for which he served as an officer, director, or employee at the request of Company, or (c) any successor thereto; provided, however, Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Norris for any claim based on facts or circumstances that served or could have served as grounds for termination of Norris’ employment under this Agreement by the Company for Cause. Any reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements required under this Section 8.1 shall be made within thirty days of the date that Norris submits an invoice for payment or reimbursement. In the event Company and Norris shall have entered into a separate indemnity agreement, the terms of such agreement, and not this Section 8.1, shall govern Company’s obligations to indemnify Norris following the termination of this Agreement.

All amounts payable by Company (including its subsidiaries hereunder) shall be paid without notice or demand. Norris shall not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and, except as provided in Sections 5.2(b) and 5.3(b) hereof, the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of Company’s obligations to make (or cause to be made) the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement.

8.6 Severability. Any provision in this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of applicable law shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties, and agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
