Guam Option Agreement (to Acquire Underground Gas Storage Lease) is a legally binding contract that grants individuals or entities the right to purchase a lease for underground gas storage in Guam. This agreement allows the holder of the option to potentially secure future access to storage facilities for natural gas, oil, or other hydrocarbon products in Guam. The Guam Option Agreement serves as a mechanism to secure the right to lease and develop underground gas storage facilities in Guam. By exercising this option, the holder gains the exclusive right to negotiate and potentially enter into a lease agreement with the owner or operator of the storage facility. There may be different types of Guam Option Agreements, including: 1. Exclusive Option Agreement: This type of agreement grants the holder sole rights to negotiate and enter into a lease agreement for the underground gas storage facility. It ensures that no other party can interfere or participate in the negotiation process during the option period. 2. Non-exclusive Option Agreement: This agreement offers the holder the right to negotiate and potentially acquire a lease for the underground gas storage facility. However, it allows the owner or operator of the facility to engage with other interested parties simultaneously. This type of agreement may involve more competition during the negotiation process. 3. Call Option Agreement: A call option agreement allows the holder to purchase the lease of the underground gas storage facility at a predetermined price within a specified time frame. The holder has the flexibility to decide whether to exercise the option or let it expire. 4. Put Option Agreement: A put option agreement grants the holder the right to sell the lease of the underground gas storage facility to the owner or operator at a predetermined price within a specified time frame. This type of agreement gives the holder the option to exit the lease agreement if desired. It is important to thoroughly review and understand the terms and conditions outlined in any Guam Option Agreement before entering into negotiations. Consulting with legal and industry professionals who specialize in gas storage leases is highly recommended ensuring proper understanding and protection of rights and obligations.
