Attention:  David Thompson, President

Dear Sirs:
 
Re:
Proposed Business Combination of Mogul Energy International, Inc., and  Sea Dragon Energy, Inc.

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter contained, this letter agreement is intended to set forth the basic terms and conditions of a proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) of Mogul Energy International, Inc. (“Mogul”) and Sea Dragon Energy, Inc. (“Sea Dragon”).  This letter agreement is further intended to govern the parties’ conduct until such time as the parties determine to proceed with the Business Combination and execute a binding definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”), or this letter agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.  This letter agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the Definitive Agreement.

The parties hereto hereby represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree as follows:
 
1.
Mogul Energy International, Inc., is a company existing under the laws of Delaware, with its principal place of business in Seattle, Washington.  Mogul is a reporting issuer in the United States of America, and the common shares of Mogul are listed on the NASD Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) system (the “Exchange”) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE).
 
2.
Mogul currently has 38,561,810 common shares (the “Mogul Shares”) outstanding and 625,000 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of warrants.



3.
Mogul intends to grant stock options (the “Mogul Options”) to Mogul management and directors to acquire an aggregate of 2,300,000 additional common shares in the capital of Mogul at a price to be determined by the Board of Directors.  It is anticipated that the following individuals will be granted Mogul Options in the amounts indicated below, and further detailed in Schedule A, attached hereto:

Naeem Tyab – 1,000,000;
 
·
Sean Malcolm – 650,000;
 
·
Ernie Pratt – 250,000;

Sea Dragon has granted compensation options to acquire an aggregate of 529,000 common shares in the capital of Sea Dragon at a price of $0.20 per share (the “Sea Dragon Finder’s Options”) as part of a finder’s fee in connection with a non-brokered private placement completed by Sea Dragon.
 
7.
Sea Dragon has agreed to grant stock options to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,100,000 common shares in the capital of Sea Dragon at a price of $0.20 per share (the “Sea Dragon Options”), to the following individuals:

 
·

Other than the Sea Dragon Shares, the Sea Dragon Finder’s Options, the Sea Dragon Warrants, and the Sea Dragon Options, no other securities of Sea Dragon, convertible or exchangeable into shares of Sea Dragon, are outstanding on the date hereof.
 
8.
Sea Dragon has a 40% working interest in the concession known as the East Wadi Araba located in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt.
 
9.
Mogul and Sea Dragon will combine pursuant to an amalgamation agreement, share exchange agreement, or such other agreement, in order to complete the proposed Business Combination on a tax preferred basis to the parties hereto.  Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination, the current holders of Sea Dragon Shares will receive up to a maximum of 40,497,500 shares in the capital of Mogul (being approximately 1 share in the capital of Mogul for each Sea Dragon Share currently held).  The Sea Dragon Warrants, the Sea Dragon Finder’s Options, and the Sea Dragon Options will be exchanged for warrants and options respectively exercisable to acquire common shares in the capital of Mogul on the same basis, on economically equivalent terms.  However, the exercise (strike) price of the Sea Dragon Options will be amended to conform to the exercise price that is set on the Mogul Options.

-2-


10.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may require some (or all) of the common shares in the capital of Mogul (or shares of the resulting issuer, as applicable) issued or issuable pursuant to paragraph 9 hereof to be restricted pursuant to the requirements of U.S. securities laws.  In particular, securities of the directors and senior officers of Mogul or the resulting issuer, as applicable, will be subject to restrictions in accordance with the foregoing.
 
11.
Each of Mogul and Sea Dragon may, depending on the structure of the Business Combination, be required to call a meeting of its respective shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meetings”) to approve, among other matters, the Business Combination, if required as detailed below, and certain other matters ancillary or relating thereto. However a Shareholders’ Meeting may still otherwise be required by Mogul depending on the structure of the Business Combination, for example, to approve an amalgamation (if by amalgamation) or to change Mogul’s name, or to change auditors.
 
12.
Mogul and Sea Dragon shall use their best efforts to negotiate in good faith the Definitive Agreement by September 1, 2007, or such later date as the parties mutually agree to, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the parties, including representations and warranties of each party customary in transactions of this nature.
 
13.
The parties agree that the date of closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”) will occur within five (5) business days following receipt of shareholder approval by the shareholders of Mogul and Sea Dragon of the Business Combination at the Shareholders’ Meeting, or in writing, if required.  The Closing Date shall, in any event, occur not later than September 10, 2007, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree to.  If the Closing Date does not occur by September 30, 2007, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree to, either party may terminate its obligations with respect to the completion of the Business Combination contemplated herein without further obligation by either party, save and except as provided for in section 23 hereof.
 
14.
Other than as described below, each of Mogul and Sea Dragon will pay for their respective costs incurred pursuant to the transaction contemplated herein, including legal and accounting costs, whether or not the Business Combination contemplated herein is completed.
 
15.
For the purposes of allowing Mogul and Sea Dragon to review the business and affairs of each other so as to enable each to determine if there are any facts relating to which, if known to the other party, would cause it to elect not to proceed with the Business Combination, Mogul and Sea Dragon hereby permit each other and their auditors, legal counsel and other advisors to conduct, upon execution hereof, up to and including the Closing Date, such investigations of financial conditions, contractual obligations, business affairs and corporate affairs as each party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable in order to ensure that each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as are required by each party.

Mogul Energy announces Letter of Intent with Sea Dragon Energy, Inc. to increase Mogul Energy’s interest in the East Wadi Araba Concession, Gulf of Suez, Egypt from 20% to 60%

Seattle, Washington, July 31, 2007 --

Mogul Energy International, Inc. (OTCBB: MGUY; FSE: BKX), an oil and gas exploration company with interests in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt, and Saskatchewan, Canada, announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”), dated July 30, 2007, to complete a Business Combination with Sea Dragon Energy, Inc., a private Canadian corporation. If the Business Combination is completed as outlined in the LOI, Mogul Energy’s working interest in the East Wadi Araba Concession would increase from 20% to 60%.  The LOI is nonbinding, and the completion of the transaction is contingent upon the negotiation and entry into definitive acquisition documents, as well as upon various closing conditions imposed by such documents.  To read the complete terms of the LOI, please view the company’s Form 8-K filing with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Naeem Tyab, President of Mogul Energy stated, “I believe that the planned combination of Sea Dragon’s 40% interest in the EWA Concession with Mogul Energy’s existing 20% interest is an exciting development for Mogul Energy.  In addition to giving Mogul Energy a majority interest in the EWA Concession, the combination would allow the Company to focus the talent and resources of both companies on the development of the EWA Concession.  The planned addition to Mogul Energy’s management of the experienced oil and gas team from Sea Dragon should benefit the Company.  The ability to increase our interest in the Concession, while focusing our combined talent and resources, are key considerations in our analysis of the merits of this combination.”

The Company anticipates that David M. Thompson, President of Sea Dragon, would become the Chief Executive Officer of Mogul Energy upon the completion of the Business Combination.  Mr. Thompson stated “We are excited about the combination with Mogul Energy and look forward to focusing our combined talent and resources toward development of the EWA Concession in Egypt, where we are currently drilling our first exploration well, in addition to Mogul Energy’s current Canadian assets.”

Information Concerning the Proposed Business Combination:

Mogul Energy and Sea Dragon have entered into an LOI delineating certain terms and conditions pursuant to which the proposed Business Combination will be completed. The Business Combination is subject to the parties successfully negotiating and entering into a definitive agreement, and to satisfaction or waiver of any closing conditions (including without limitation any required government approvals and concessions) set forth in such agreement if ultimately executed by the parties.

Pursuant to the LOI, Mogul Energy and Sea Dragon have agreed to issue common shares in the capital of Mogul Energy to the current shareholders of Sea Dragon on the basis of one (1) common share of Mogul Energy for each common share of Sea Dragon currently outstanding.  In addition, outstanding warrants and options in Sea Dragon, as described below, will be exchanged for warrants and options in Mogul Energy at the same or similar terms.

 
 

 

The Business Combination is subject to conditions precedent to completion, which includes board of director and shareholder approval, compliance with applicable corporate and securities laws, satisfactory completion of due diligence reviews by both parties, and certain other conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The target closing date for the Business Combination is September 30, 2007, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree upon.  There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will be completed as proposed, or at all.  Further information on the Company can be found in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (http://www.sec.gov).

Management and Board of Directors of Resulting Issuer

Upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that management of the resulting issuer will include the persons identified below. Additional proposed directors and officers of the resulting issuer will be identified at a later date.

David M. Thompson – Chief Executive Officer and Director
David Thompson has over 25 years of financial experience in the oil and gas industry. He joined the Larmag Group of Companies in 1988 and established the oil trading company Larmag Energy Trading Limited based in Bermuda with offices in the US and Europe. Mr. Thompson was appointed senior vice president when he became the finance director for Larmag Energy operating in Turkmenistan in 1992.
