The Court's Order entered September 11, 2013 (the "Order"), cancelled the sale of certain oil and gas leases and any other assets foreclosed or seized and previously scheduled for sale on September 12, 2013.  Additionally, all writs of execution and garnishments of accounts presently outstanding in favor of NTOG against the Company were cancelled.  NTOG is now prohibited from taking any further action to enforce the judgment previously entered against the Company pending a final accounting.  NTOG is further ordered to provide its proposed accounting to Richfield and the Court by September 23, 2013, for its operation of certain seized wells that are now being returned to Richfield.  Additionally, NTOG must take appropriate steps to assure that any persons/entities to whom the writs were directed are notified that all writs have been cancelled.
