NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company). Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company participates are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In August 2005, the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend to all stockholders of record as of August 19, 2005 (the Record Date). On August 26, 2005, stockholders received one additional share of common stock for each two shares held on the Record Date, with fractional shares paid in cash based on the closing price per share of the common stock on the Record Date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the effect of the 3-for-2 stock split and, accordingly, all disclosures involving the number of shares of common stock outstanding or issued, and all per share amounts, retroactively reflect the impact of the stock split.

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year period’s presentation. The impact of such reclassifications was not significant to the prior year period’s overall presentation.

Statements of Cash Flows

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid cash investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and consist primarily of finished goods. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

Net Income per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of net income per common and common equivalent share:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method. The table below shows the pro forma effect on reported net income and earnings per share, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, amended by SFAS No. 148, as if the Company had elected to recognize the compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at the grant date and had amortized the expense over the options’ vesting period.

Hurricane Repair Expenses

The Company incurred damages to certain of its onshore and offshore operating equipment and facilities as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita during the third quarter of 2005. The damages affected certain of the Company’s fluids facilities, as well as certain of its decommissioning assets, including one of its heavy lift barges. The Company’s Maritech Resources, Inc. (Maritech) subsidiary also suffered varying levels of damage to the majority of its offshore oil and gas producing platforms, and three of its platforms were completely destroyed. The Company is currently assessing the extent of such damages, and has begun efforts to repair and restore certain damaged assets. The Company maintains customary insurance protection covering substantially all of the damages incurred; however, certain uninsured assets which were destroyed during the storms have been charged to earnings. In addition, repair costs incurred up to the amount of deductibles are charged to earnings as they are incurred.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. As modified by the SEC in April 2005, the revised statement is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R must be applied to new awards and previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date. The Company currently accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS No. 123 will be recognized under SFAS No. 123R. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the above disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as

6


an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flow and increase net financing cash flow in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot accurately estimate what those future amounts will be (as they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amounts of operating cash flow recognized for such excess tax deductions were $5.3 million and $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB No. 107) to provide the SEC staff’s views and guidance in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. SAB No. 107 was issued to assist companies with the initial implementation of SFAS No. 123R, express the SEC’s views on the interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations, and provide interpretations regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. The Company will apply the guidance provided in SAB No. 107 prospectively, and the Company does not believe that applying the new guidance will have a material impact on its financial results.

During the first quarter of 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (FIN No. 47). The interpretation clarifies the requirement to record abandonment liabilities stemming from legal obligations when the retirement depends on a conditional future event. FIN No. 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing or method of settlement of a conditional retirement obligation be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2005, and the Company does not believe that applying this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial results.

NOTE B – ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

In July 2005, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into in June 2005, Maritech acquired oil and gas producing properties located in the offshore Gulf of Mexico, in exchange for the assumption of the associated decommissioning obligations with an undiscounted value of approximately $35.6 million. The previous owner of the properties is contractually obligated to pay up to $19.5 million of the decommissioning obligations when the abandonment and decommissioning work is performed. The acquired oil and gas producing properties were recorded at a cost of approximately $13.0 million, consisting primarily of the discounted fair value of the net decommissioning liability assumed.

In August 2005, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into in July 2005, a wholly owned subsidiary of Maritech acquired oil and gas producing properties located in the inland waters region of Louisiana in exchange for the assumption of the associated decommissioning liabilities with a discounted fair value of approximately $17.8 million. The purchase and sale agreement also provided for cash consideration to be paid by Maritech of $49.1 million, subject to adjustment for the acquired properties’ cash flows occurring on or after the April 1, 2005 effective date. As a result of such cash adjustment for the acquired properties’ cash flows, Maritech paid net cash of approximately $41.6 million and recorded the acquired properties at a cost of approximately $59.4 million.

In September 2005, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into in July 2005, Maritech acquired oil and gas producing properties located in the offshore and inland waters region of the Gulf of Mexico in exchange for the assumption of the associated decommissioning liabilities with a discounted fair value of approximately $66.1 million, along with other associated liabilities of approximately $2.2 million. The purchase and sale agreement also provided for Maritech to pay cash consideration of $4.0 million, subject to adjustment for the effects of exercised preferential rights and the properties’ cash flows occurring on or after the January 1, 2005 effective date. As a result of approximately $22.3 million of such cash adjustments primarily relating to the properties’ cash flows, Maritech received a net settlement of approximately $18.3 million of cash at closing, which remains subject to final adjustment. The acquired oil and gas producing properties were recorded at their net cost of approximately $51.7 million, which includes approximately $1.7 million of associated transaction costs.

The results of operations from each of the above oil and gas property acquisitions are included within the Company’s Well Abandonment & Decommissioning segment, beginning in the month in which the acquisition was consummated. For each of the above acquisitions of oil and gas properties, the Company has allocated the acquisition purchase price to the specific properties acquired based on the estimated fair values of the properties. Such allocation is preliminary and may change as additional information becomes available.

The pro forma information presented below has been provided to give effect to the September 2005 acquisition of oil and gas producing properties by Maritech as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods

7


presented. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is based on estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company. The following pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved if the acquisition transaction had occurred in the past and the Company’s operating results may have been different from those reflected in the pro forma information below. The pro forma information is not indicative of future results to be expected by the Company due to the production declines of the oil and gas properties acquired and other changes in the properties’ operations. Therefore, the pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that the Company would have achieved if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or the future results that the Company will achieve after the acquisition.

During the first nine months of 2005, Maritech sold certain oil and gas property interests in four separate transactions. In January 2005, Maritech sold a portion of its interest in the oil and gas lease covering one of its offshore properties and retained the decommissioning liability related to the interest conveyed. In connection with the sale, the buyer committed to perform certain development drilling on the lease, received an option to participate in the drilling of a prospect identified on the lease, and agreed to carry a portion of Maritech’s share of the associated drilling costs. In February 2005, Maritech assigned a 75% interest in the oil and gas lease covering one of its offshore properties, subject to the buyer’s commencement of future drilling operations on three prospects identified on the lease. The buyer commenced drilling operations on the first well on the initial prospect in May 2005. In March 2005, Maritech acquired certain interests in an offshore oil and gas property and then sold such acquired interests to a separate party. In August 2005, Maritech sold its interest in an oil and gas property in exchange for the buyer’s assumption of the associated decommissioning liability. Pursuant to these transactions, and in addition to being carried in the drilling costs discussed above, Maritech received an aggregate of $1.3 million cash in exchange for property interests with approximately 7.8 million equivalent Mcf of primarily proved undeveloped reserves, net of reserves acquired. Maritech recorded gains and prospect fee revenues as a result of the above transactions totaling approximately $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

In May 2005, the Company’s Fluids Division sold certain international assets for approximately $1.0 million cash. In July 2005, the Company sold certain well abandonment equipment located in west Texas for approximately $2.1 million cash. In connection with these transactions, the Company recorded gains totaling approximately $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

NOTE C – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company made the decision to dispose of its Norwegian process services operation and began selling the associated facility assets. The Company determined that the Norwegian process services operation’s long-term model did not fit its core business strategy. In April 2004, the Company sold a portion of the facility assets to a local Norwegian company. In June 2005, the Company curtailed its attempts to sell the remaining facility assets, recorded an impairment expense for the carrying value of certain of the remaining facility assets, and transported the remaining equipment to the United States for use in the Company’s domestic process services operations. The Norwegian process services operation was previously reflected as a component of the Company’s Production Enhancement Division.

NOTE D – OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the oil and gas operations of its Maritech subsidiary. Under the successful efforts method, all capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are accumulated and recorded separately for each field, and are assessed for impairment in value whenever indicators become evident, with any impairment charged to expense. In connection with Maritech’s decision not to attempt certain workover procedures necessary to restore production on an offshore field which it operates, the Company charged the approximately $1.9 million net carrying value of such field to earnings during the first quarter of 2005.

NOTE G – HEDGE CONTRACTS

The Company has market risk exposure in the sales prices it receives for its oil and gas production and currency exchange rate risk exposure related to investments in certain of its international operations. The Company’s financial risk management activities involve, among other measures, the use of derivative financial instruments, such as swap and collar agreements, to hedge the impact of market price risk exposures for a significant portion of its oil and gas production. The Company is exposed to the volatility of oil and gas prices for the portion of its oil and gas production that is not hedged.

The Company believes that its swap and collar agreements are “highly effective cash flow hedges,” as defined by SFAS No. 133, in managing the volatility of future cash flows associated with its oil and gas production. The effective portion of the change in the derivative’s fair value (i.e., that portion of the change in the derivative’s fair value that offsets the corresponding change in the cash flows of the hedged transaction) is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be subsequently reclassified into revenues utilizing the specific identification method when the hedged exposure affects earnings (i.e., when hedged oil and gas production volumes are reflected in revenues). Any “ineffective” portion of the change in the derivative’s fair value is recognized in earnings immediately. The fair value of the liability for outstanding cash flow hedge swap and collar contracts at September 30, 2005 was approximately $14.5 million, which is included in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such amount increased by approximately $12.2 million during the third quarter of 2005. Changes in the fair value of the liability, net of taxes, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. The amounts of gains or losses from the changes in contract fair value are reclassified into earnings over the term of the hedge contracts. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded approximately $0.2 million related to the ineffective portion of the change in the derivatives’ fair value and has classified such loss within other (income) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company borrowed 35 million Euros to fund the acquisition of the calcium chloride assets purchased from the Finnish chemical company, Kemira. This debt is designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in that foreign operation. The hedge is considered to be effective, since the debt balance designated as the hedge is less than or equal to the net investment in the foreign operation. At September 30, 2005, the Company had 34 million Euros ($41.0 million) designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Since the inception of the hedge, and as of September 30, 2005, changes in the foreign currency exchange rate have resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.2 million in the value of the outstanding debt balance and an associated cumulative translation adjustment account of $0.8 million, net of taxes.

NOTE H – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named as defendants in numerous lawsuits and as respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on the Company.

A subsidiary of the Company, TETRA Micronutrients, Inc. (TMI), previously owned and operated a production facility located in Fairbury, Nebraska. TMI is subject to an Administrative Order on Consent issued to American Microtrace, Inc. (n/k/a/ TETRA Micronutrients, Inc.) in the proceeding styled In the Matter of American Microtrace Corporation, EPA I.D. No. NED00610550, Respondent, Docket No. VII-98-H-0016, dated September 25, 1998 (the Consent Order), with regard to the Fairbury facility. TMI is liable for future remediation costs at the Fairbury facility under the Consent Order; however, the current owner of the Fairbury facility is responsible for costs associated with the closure of that facility. The Company has reviewed the estimated remediation costs prepared by its independent, third party environmental engineering consultant, which it based on a detailed environmental study. The estimated remediation costs range from $0.6 million to $1.4 million. Based upon its review and discussions with its third party consultants, the Company has established a reserve for such remediation costs of $0.6 million, undiscounted, at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The reserve will be adjusted as information develops or conditions change.

The Company has not been named a potentially responsible party by the EPA or any state environmental agency.

NOTE I – INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company manages its operations through three divisions: Fluids, Well Abandonment & Decommissioning (WA&D) and Production Enhancement.

The Company’s Fluids Division manufactures and markets clear brine fluids, additives, and other associated products and services to the oil and gas industry for use in well drilling, completion, and workover operations both domestically and in certain regions of Europe, Asia (including the Middle East), Latin America and Africa. The Division also markets certain fluids and dry calcium chloride manufactured at its production facilities to a variety of domestic and international markets outside the energy industry.

The Company’s WA&D Division provides a broad array of services required for the abandonment of depleted oil and gas wells and the decommissioning of platforms, pipelines, and other associated equipment. The Division services the onshore U.S. Gulf Coast region and the inland waters and offshore markets of the Gulf of Mexico. The Division is also an oil and gas producer from wells acquired in its well abandonment and decommissioning business and provides electric wireline, engineering, workover, and drilling services.

The Company’s Production Enhancement Division provides production testing services to the Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, the offshore Gulf of Mexico and certain Latin American markets. In addition, it is engaged in the design, fabrication, sale, lease and service of wellhead compression equipment primarily used to enhance production from mature, low pressure natural gas wells located principally in the mid-continent, mid-western, western, Rocky Mountain, Texas and Louisiana regions of the United States as well as in western Canada and Mexico. The Division also provides the technology and services required for the separation and recycling of oily residuals generated from petroleum refining operations.

The Company generally evaluates performance and allocates resources with regard to its operating divisions based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and nonrecurring charges, return on investment and other criteria. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transfers between segments, as well as geographic areas, are priced at the estimated fair value of the products or services as negotiated between the operating units. “Corporate Overhead” includes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest income and expense, and other general corporate income and expense.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Business Overview

Despite the impact of two hurricanes during the third quarter of 2005, the Company continued to show growth in revenues and profitability as compared to the prior year period. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita affected several of the Company’s operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, including fluids sales, oil and gas production, well abandonment and decommissioning and production testing activity. The Company suffered damages at certain of its fluids facilities, and to certain of its decommissioning assets, including one of its heavy lift barges. The Company’s Maritech Resources, Inc. subsidiary (Maritech) suffered varying levels of damage to the majority of its offshore oil and gas producing platforms, and three of its platforms were completely destroyed. The Company is currently assessing the extent of such damages, and has begun efforts to repair and restore certain damaged assets. The Company maintains insurance protection covering substantially all of the property damages incurred; however, repair costs incurred up to the amount of deductibles are charged to earnings as they are incurred. A portion of such repair costs were incurred during the third quarter of 2005. The Company’s insurance protection does not include business interruption coverage. The Company expects to reestablish all of its businesses that were interrupted by the storm, and as of November 9, 2005, only one of its fluids facilities has yet to resume operations. Maritech suffered its most severe offshore platform damage on low or non-producing property locations. Maritech has resumed daily production from a portion of its producing properties, and is currently assessing damages to its production platforms, and planning and performing necessary repair efforts. Much of Maritech’s production is processed through neighboring platforms, pipelines, and onshore processing facilities of other operators and third parties. The full resumption of Maritech’s production levels will therefore also depend on the damage assessments and repairs of certain of these third party assets, the timing of which is outside of Maritech’s control. Even with the disruptions to the Company’s consolidated operations caused by the storms, the Company’s year to date revenues, gross profit and pretax earnings increased compared to the prior year period, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and growth by each of its operating segments. Fluids Division results include the impact of increased pricing and activity, as well as the impact of the September 2004 acquisition of its TCE operations. The Well Abandonment & Decommissioning (WA&D) Division results reflect the increased level of abandonment and decommissioning activity by several of its customers. The Division’s Maritech subsidiary closed three significant acquisitions of producing properties during the third quarter of 2005, although storm interruptions postponed much of the revenue and profitability impact from these acquisitions. The Company’s Production Enhancement Division also increased its operations due primarily to the July 2004 acquisition of its Compressco operations as well as from increased production testing activity.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 included current assets of $191.0 million and total assets of $673.9 million, along with total long-term debt of $133.0 million, which is scheduled to mature from 2009 to 2011. The operating cash flows from each of the Company’s operating divisions, along with the additional availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit, represent the primary sources of readily available capital for the Company. The Company’s growth strategy includes expanding its existing businesses – through internal growth as well as through suitable acquisitions – and identifying opportunities to establish operations in additional niche oil and gas service markets. The acquisitions of oil and gas producing properties made by Maritech are expected to significantly increase the Company’s operating cash flows both through the third party share of associated future well abandonment and decommissioning work and the increased oil and gas production cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired properties. Exposure to oil and gas commodity price fluctuations related to the increased oil and gas production cash flows is expected to be mitigated by additional commodity derivative transactions entered into during the third quarter of 2005. The Company funded the cash required to acquire these producing properties

13


with borrowings under its bank credit facility. Such additional borrowings were more than offset, however, by repayments funded by the Company’s operating cash flows, resulting in a reduction of the outstanding balance under the facility from December 31, 2004. The Company’s present financial condition gives it the flexibility to consider additional acquisition opportunities through the use of debt, equity, or any combination thereof.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company makes assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. The Company periodically evaluates its estimates and judgments related to potential impairments of long-lived assets (including goodwill), the collectibility of accounts receivable, and the current cost of future abandonment and decommissioning obligations. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on future expectations that are believed to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur, as new information is acquired, and with changes in the Company’s operating environment. Actual results are likely to differ from the Company’s current estimates, and those differences may be material.

Three months ended September 30, 2005 compared with three months ended September 30, 2004.

Consolidated Comparisons

Revenues and Gross Profit – Total consolidated revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $122.5 million compared to $89.9 million for the third quarter of the prior year, an increase of 36.2%. Consolidated gross profit increased to $27.5 million in the current year quarter from $22.2 million during the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 23.7%. Consolidated gross profit as a percent of revenues was 22.4% during the third quarter of 2005, compared to 24.7% during the prior year period.

14


General and Administrative Expenses – General and administrative expenses were $18.4 million during the third quarter of 2005, compared to $14.4 million during the prior year period, an increase of $4.0 million or 27.9%. The increased general and administrative expenses included approximately $2.1 million of increased salaries, incentives, benefits and other associated employee expenses, approximately $0.6 million of higher professional service expenses, approximately $0.7 million of increased depreciation and accretion expenses and approximately $0.6 million of other general expense increases. Despite these increases, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 15.0%, from 16.0% during the third quarter of the prior year, due to the significant growth of the Company’s operations.

Other Income and Expense – Other income and expense was $1.2 million of income during the third quarter of 2005 primarily from gains on sales of assets during the period.

Interest Expense and Income Taxes – Net interest expense was $1.4 million during the third quarter of 2005, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period, due to the significant borrowings of long-term debt which were used to fund the Company’s acquisitions during the third quarter of 2004. Such borrowings were outstanding for only a portion of the third quarter of 2004. In addition, the Company increased its net long-term debt balance by approximately $7.7 million during the third quarter of 2005, as borrowings primarily to fund an acquisition of oil and gas properties were partially offset by repayments during the period. The Company’s provision for income taxes during the third quarter of 2005 increased to $2.6 million, compared to $2.3 million during the prior year period, primarily due to increased earnings.

Net Income – Income before discontinued operations was $6.2 million during the third quarter of 2005, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of $1.1 million or 21.0%. Income per diluted share before discontinued operations was $0.17 on 36,287,366 average diluted shares outstanding during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $0.14 on 35,592,434 average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $6.2 million during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $5.1 million in the corresponding prior year period. Net income per diluted share was $0.17 on 36,287,366 average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $0.14 on 35,592,434 average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year quarter.

Divisional Comparisons

Fluids Division – Fluids Division revenues increased from $34.5 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $47.1 million during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $12.6 million or 36.5%. This increase included approximately $9.2 million of revenues from the Company’s TCE operations, which were acquired in September 2004. In addition, increased product pricing, sales volumes, and service activity generated an additional $3.4 million increase. The Fluids Division incurred damage to certain of its facilities as a result of hurricanes during the third quarter of 2005. In October 2005, one of the Division’s main raw material suppliers announced that it has permanently ceased production from its TDI plant in Lake Charles, Louisiana. This plant supplies feedstock to the Division’s Lake Charles calcium chloride manufacturing facility, which the Division is operating at a reduced level for an indefinite period while it reviews alternative sources of supply. The Lake Charles facility has generated approximately 12% of the Division’s revenues during 2005. During this period when the Company is attempting to acquire supplies from other sources, and until an alternative feedstock supplier is identified, Fluids Division revenues could be decreased as a result of the plant’s reduced operations.

Fluids Division gross profit increased by $4.2 million, or 59.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to the increased product sales volumes during the third quarter, including the impact of the TCE operations. The increased product prices received during the third quarter of 2005 and a favorable mix of higher margin products and services contributed to the increased gross profit. Most of the damage to certain of the Division’s assets caused by the third quarter hurricanes are covered under the Company’s various insurance policies. Future levels of gross profit may be impacted as the feedstock supply for the Division’s Lake Charles manufacturing facility is obtained from alternate sources that may result in higher finished product costs.

Fluids Division income before taxes during the third quarter of 2005 totaled $6.2 million, compared to $3.2 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of $3.0 million or 95.6%. This increase was generated by the $4.2 million increase in gross profit discussed above, and approximately $0.2 million primarily from increased foreign currency gains. These increases were partially offset by approximately $1.4 million of increased administrative expenses, including the administrative expenses of TCE.

Well Abandonment & Decommissioning Division – WA&D Division revenues increased $11.1 million to $48.3 million during the third quarter of 2005, from $37.1 million in the prior year quarter, representing an increase of 30.0%. Well abandonment and decommissioning service revenues increased by approximately $8.7 million, despite hurricane interruptions during the last half of the third quarter. This increase in service revenues was mainly due to increased equipment utilization, particularly by the Division’s decommissioning operations, and due to the purchase of an 800 ton heavy lift barge during the third quarter of 2004. Many operators in the offshore Gulf of Mexico region experienced damage to, or loss of, production platforms during the third quarter storms. As a result, the Division expects increased demand for its services which may result in increased revenues in the future. The Division suffered storm interruptions to many of its service businesses during the third quarter of 2005, but expects that most of these operations will soon be fully restored. The Division’s exploitation and production subsidiary, Maritech, significantly expanded its operations with the acquisition of producing properties in three separate transactions during the third quarter of 2005. Most of the impact from this growth was deferred, however, due to production interruptions caused by the hurricanes. Still, Maritech reported an increase of approximately $2.4 million in revenues during the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to approximately $5.1 million from higher realized oil and gas sales prices compared to the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $2.7 million as a result of decreased production volumes primarily as a result of the recent storms. During much of the last half of the third quarter of 2005, Maritech’s producing properties were shut-in as a result of hurricanes. As of November 9, 2005, a portion of Maritech’s total daily production, including its newly acquired volumes, has been restored; however, much of Maritech’s production is processed through neighboring platforms, pipelines, and onshore processing facilities of other operators or third parties. The full resumption of Maritech’s production levels will therefore also depend on the damage assessments and repairs of certain of these third party assets, the timing of which is outside of Maritech’s control.

WA&D Division gross profit decreased $3.6 million, or 38.7%, from $9.4 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $5.7 million during the third quarter of 2005. Gross profit from the Division’s well abandonment and decommissioning operations increased by approximately $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year period, due to the increased utilization and activity levels discussed above. Maritech’s gross profit decreased by approximately $5.2 million, compared to the prior year period, despite the increased commodity prices previously discussed, due to approximately $10.3 million of increased operating expenses during the quarter, including operating expenses from properties acquired in the above mentioned acquisitions. The Division suffered hurricane damage to certain of its service equipment assets, including one of its heavy lift barges. Maritech suffered varying levels of damage to the majority of its offshore production platforms, and three of its platforms were completely destroyed. The Division is currently assessing the extent of these damages and expects to incur significant costs to repair these assets. All of these damaged assets are covered under the Company’s various insurance policies.

WA&D Division income before taxes was $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 53.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to the decreased gross profit described above, as well as due to approximately $0.5 million of increased accretion expense associated with newly acquired properties. Partially offsetting these decreases was approximately $1.2 million of gains on the sale of assets during the current year quarter.

Production Enhancement Division – Production Enhancement Division revenues increased from $18.4 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $27.2 million during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $8.8 million, or 48.1%. This increase was primarily due to the growth in Compressco’s operations, which contributed an approximate $5.2 million increase in revenues, which also includes the impact of having owned Compressco for less than the full quarter of the prior year. In addition, the Division’s production testing and process services operations revenues increased by a total of approximately $3.6 million, compared to the prior year quarter, due to increased activity from certain of its customers.

Production Enhancement Division gross profit increased from $5.8 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $10.4 million during the third quarter of 2005, a $4.7 million or 81.2% increase. Increased gross profit was due to Compressco’s growth and improved margins on the Division’s production testing operations.

Income before taxes for the Production Enhancement Division increased $4.0 million, or 132.3%, from $3.0 million during the prior year third quarter to $7.1 million during the third quarter of 2005. This increase was primarily due to the increased gross profit discussed above, less approximately $0.5 million of increased administrative costs.

Corporate Overhead – Corporate overhead includes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest income and expense, and other income and expense. Such expenses and income are not allocated to the Company’s operating divisions, as they relate to the Company’s general corporate activities. Corporate overhead increased from $4.5 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $7.1 million during the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to increased administrative costs of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded increased net interest expense of approximately $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2005, compared to the prior year period, related to the higher average outstanding balance of long-term debt during the current year period. Such borrowings were outstanding for only a portion of the third quarter of 2004. The increase in administrative costs resulted from approximately $1.0 million of increased salaries and incentive compensation, and approximately $0.6 million of increased office and other general expenses.

Nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Consolidated Comparisons

Revenues and Gross Profit – Total consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $385.4 million, compared to $244.0 million for the first nine months of the prior year, an increase of 58.0%. Consolidated gross profit during the first nine months of 2005 also increased significantly from the prior year period, from $56.0 million during 2004 to $97.7 million in the current year period, an increase of 74.5%. Consolidated gross profit as a percent of revenues was 25.4% during the first nine months of 2005, compared to 23.0% during the prior year period.

General and Administrative Expenses – Consolidated general and administrative expenses were $55.6 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $17.4 million or 45.4%, compared to the first nine months of 2004. The increase was primarily due to the overall growth of the Company, with a large portion of the increase attributed to the addition of the Compressco and TCE operations, which were acquired during the third quarter of 2004. The increased general and administrative expenses included approximately $11.2 million of increased salaries, incentives, benefits and other associated employee expenses, approximately $2.4 million of higher professional service expenses, approximately $1.1 million of increased office expenses, approximately $1.3 million of increased depreciation and accretion expenses, approximately $0.8 million of increased bad debt expense, approximately $0.3 million of increased insurance costs and approximately $0.3 million of other general expense increases. Due to the significant increase in the Company’s operating revenues, however, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 14.4% during the first nine months of 2005, compared to 15.7% in the prior year period.

Other Income and Expense – Other income and expense was $3.0 million of income during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $0.3 million of income during the prior year period, an increase of $2.7 million. The increase was primarily due to approximately $1.7 million of increased net gains on sales of assets, approximately $0.6 million of foreign currency gains, and approximately $0.4 million of equity in the earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Interest Expense and Income Taxes – Net interest expense was $4.3 million during the first nine months of 2005, due to significant borrowings of long-term debt used to fund a portion of the Company’s acquisitions during the third quarter of 2004. During the majority of the first nine months of 2004, the Company had no long-term debt balances outstanding other than minimal amounts related to capitalized leases. The Company reduced its long-term debt balance by approximately $5.0 million during the first nine months of 2005 despite borrowing approximately $38.0 million in connection with the closing of a Maritech oil and gas property acquisition during the third quarter of 2005. The Company’s provision for income taxes during the first nine months of 2005 increased to $13.7 million, compared to $5.8 million during the prior year period, primarily due to increased earnings.

Net Income – Income before discontinued operations was $27.2 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $12.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 124.1%. Income per diluted share before discontinued operations was $0.76 on 35,971,846 average diluted shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $0.34 on 35,496,398 average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year period.

Net income was $26.9 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $11.8 million in the corresponding prior year period. Net income per diluted share was $0.75 on 35,971,846 average diluted shares outstanding, compared to $0.33 on 35,496,398 average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year quarter.

Divisional Comparisons

Fluids Division – Fluids Division revenues increased significantly, from $102.5 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $162.8 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $60.3 million, or 58.8%. The operations of TCE, which was acquired in September 2004, generated approximately $41.0 million of this increase. Increased product pricing, sales volumes and service activity generated an additional $19.2 million increase. In October 2005, one of the Division’s main raw material suppliers announced that it has permanently ceased production from its TDI plant in Lake Charles, Louisiana. This plant supplies feedstock to the Division’s Lake Charles calcium chloride manufacturing facility, which generated approximately 12% of the Division’s revenues during 2005. The Division is operating its Lake Charles facility at a reduced level for an indefinite period while it reviews alternative sources of supply. During this period when the Company is attempting to acquire supplies from other sources, and until an alternative feedstock supplier is identified, Fluids Division revenues could be decreased as a result of the plant’s reduced operations.

Fluids Division gross profit increased from $21.8 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $38.2 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $16.4 million, or 75.4%, primarily due to the increased product sales volumes during the period, including the impact of the TCE operations. The increased product prices received during the first nine months of 2005 and a favorable mix of higher margin products and services contributed to the increased gross profit. Most of the damage to certain of the Division’s assets caused by third quarter hurricanes are covered under the Company’s various insurance policies. Future levels of gross profit for the Fluids Division may be impacted as the feedstock supply for the Division’s Lake Charles manufacturing facility is obtained from alternate sources that may result in higher finished product costs.

Fluids Division income before taxes during the first nine months of 2005 increased by $12.9 million, totaling $24.1 million, compared to $11.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 115.2%. This increase was generated by the $16.4 million increase in gross profit discussed above, approximately $0.7 million of gain from disposal of certain international assets, approximately $0.7 million of increased foreign currency gains, and $0.4 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. These increases were partially offset by approximately $5.3 million of increased administrative expenses, including the administrative expenses of TCE.

Well Abandonment & Decommissioning Division – The WA&D Division revenues increased to $144.6 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $97.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of $47.1 million or 48.3%. The Division’s well abandonment and decommissioning operations reflected increased revenues of approximately $26.5 million, primarily due to the increased activity of the Division’s decommissioning operation, which acquired an 800 ton heavy lift barge during 2004 and has benefited from recent contract awards and an overall increased activity level for its services compared to the prior year period. In addition, the Division’s inland waters and offshore abandonment operations have also experienced increased equipment utilization due to increased activity levels. The Company anticipates the increased well abandonment and decommissioning activity will continue, particularly following the third quarter hurricane damage that has affected the offshore infrastructure assets of many operators in the Gulf of Mexico. The Division suffered storm interruptions to many of its businesses during the third quarter of 2005, but expects that most of its service operations will soon be fully restored. The Division’s exploitation and production subsidiary, Maritech, reported an increase of approximately $14.8 million in revenues during the first nine months of 2005, due to approximately $9.9 million of higher realized oil and gas sales prices compared to the prior year period, a $4.4 million increase from increased production volumes primarily due to prior year producing property acquisitions and $0.5 million increase from prospect fee revenue recorded during the current year period. During much of the last half of the third quarter of 2005, Maritech’s producing properties were shut-in as a result of hurricanes. The revenue impact from Maritech’s third quarter acquisitions of producing properties was also largely postponed due to the interruptions caused by the storms. As of November 9, 2005, a portion of Maritech’s daily production, including its newly acquired volumes, has been restored; however, much of Maritech’s production is processed through neighboring platforms, pipelines and processing facilities of other operators and third parties. The full resumption of Maritech’s production levels will therefore also depend on the damage assessments and repairs of certain of these third party assets, the timing of which is outside of Maritech’s control.

WA&D Division gross profit increased from $21.8 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $30.0 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $8.1 million or 37.3%. This increase was due to the operating efficiency generated from the increased well abandonment and decommissioning service activity, which resulted in an increase in gross profit of approximately $10.9 million. Maritech’s gross profit, however, decreased by approximately $2.7 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to the prior year period,

18


as the impact from increased commodity prices and production volumes was offset by approximately $15.1 million of increased operating expenses and an impairment charge of approximately $1.9 million recorded during the first quarter of 2005. The Division suffered hurricane damage during the third quarter to certain of its service equipment assets, including one of its heavy lift barges. Maritech suffered varying levels of damage to the majority of its offshore production platforms, and three of its platforms were completely destroyed. The Division is currently assessing the extent of these damages and expects to incur significant costs to repair these assets. All of these damaged assets are covered under the Company’s various insurance policies.

WA&D Division income before taxes was $19.1 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $11.7 million during the prior year period, an increase of $7.4 million, or 62.8%. This increase was due to the $8.1 million increase in gross profit described above, plus approximately $1.2 million of gains from property sales. These increases were partially offset by approximately $1.3 million of increased administrative expenses, primarily from increased employee and liability related expenses, plus approximately $0.7 million of increased accretion expense as a result of acquisitions of producing properties.

Production Enhancement Division – Production Enhancement Division revenues increased from $44.2 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $78.1 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $33.9 million, or 76.6%. This increase was primarily due to the operations of Compressco, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2004. In addition, the Division’s production testing and process services operations revenues increased by approximately $5.7 million during the first nine months of 2005, due to increased activity from certain of their customers.

Production Enhancement Division gross profit increased from $12.4 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $29.6 million during the first nine months of 2005, a $17.2 million or 137.9% increase. Increased gross profit was due mainly to the acquisition of Compressco, and to a lesser degree was due to increased activity in the production testing business.

Income before taxes for the Production Enhancement Division increased from $6.7 million during the first nine months of 2004 to $19.9 million during the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $13.2 million or 197.9%. This increase was primarily due to the increased gross profit discussed above, less approximately $3.8 million of increased administrative costs, primarily related to administrative costs associated with Compressco.

Corporate Overhead – Corporate overhead includes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest income and expense, and other income and expense. Such expenses and income are not allocated to the Company’s operating divisions, as they relate to the Company’s general corporate activities. Corporate overhead increased $10.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $22.2 million, from $11.7 million during the prior year period, due to increased administrative costs and net interest expense. The Company recorded an increase in net interest expense of approximately $4.2 million related to the outstanding balance of long-term debt during the first nine months of 2005 compared to the prior year period. There were no such borrowings outstanding during the majority of the first nine months of 2004. Administrative costs increased approximately $6.3 million due to approximately $4.2 million of increased salaries and incentive compensation, approximately $0.9 million of increased audit and professional service expenses, approximately $0.2 million of increased depreciation, and approximately $1.0 million of increased office and other general expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s readily available capital resources consist primarily of the cash flows from its three operating divisions, and from the additional borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company generated approximately $69.7 million of cash flow from operating activities. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $133.0 million of long-term debt outstanding, including a balance of $44.2 million under its $140 million revolving line of credit facility, which, along with approximately $16.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaves a net availability of approximately $79.6 million.

Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities was $69.7 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $46.1 million during the prior year period, an increase of $23.6 million. Net cash from operating activities was generated from the increased net income during the first nine months of 2005, which was net of increased non-cash expenses for depreciation and depletion and a Maritech property impairment. Increased receivables resulting from the Company’s increased operating activities during the period and the use of operating cash for increased inventory requirements were more than offset by a corresponding increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Future operating activities will include the repair and

19


restoration of certain assets that suffered hurricane related damage during the third quarter of 2005. The significant majority of such repair expenditures are covered by the Company’s various insurance policies and the Company expects that such covered expenditures will be reimbursed following the processing of insurance claims. As of September 30, 2005, approximately $3.7 million of such costs were classified as receivables awaiting claims processing. The Company has historically generated net operating cash flow from each of its three operating divisions. While the Company expects that the growth of its operations will continue, such growth and the resulting net cash flow will continue to be affected by the level of oil and gas industry activity, the Company’s equipment and personnel capacity constraints, the impact of competition, the prices for its products and services, and the operating and administrative costs required to deliver its products and services.

In addition to the above factors, future operating cash flow will be affected by the commodity prices received for Maritech’s oil and gas production and the timing of expenditures required for the plugging, abandonment and decommissioning of Maritech’s oil and gas properties. Following the third quarter 2005 acquisitions of additional producing properties, Maritech entered into additional oil and gas commodity derivative transactions which extend through 2008 and are designed to hedge a portion of Maritech’s operating cash flows from risks associated with the fluctuating prices of oil and natural gas. Also, as a result of these acquisitions, the third party discounted fair value, including an estimated profit, of Maritech’s decommissioning liability increased significantly to $137.1 million ($174.5 million undiscounted) as of September 30, 2005. The cash outflow necessary to extinguish this liability is expected to occur over several years, shortly after the end of each property’s productive life. This timing is estimated based on the future oil and gas production cash flows as indicated by the Company’s oil and gas reserve estimates and, as such, is imprecise and subject to change due to changing commodity prices, revisions of these reserve estimates, and other factors. The Company’s decommissioning liability is net of amounts allocable to joint interest owners and any contractual amounts to be paid by the previous owners of the properties. In some cases, the previous owners are contractually obligated to pay Maritech a fixed amount for the future well abandonment and decommissioning work on these properties as the work is performed, partially offsetting Maritech’s future obligation expenditures. As of September 30, 2005, Maritech’s total undiscounted decommissioning obligation is approximately $251.3 million, and consists of Maritech’s liability of $174.5 million plus approximately $76.8 million which is contractually required to be reimbursed to Maritech pursuant to such contractual arrangements with the previous owners.

Investing Activities – Cash capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $78.6 million. Approximately $46.3 million was invested by the WA&D Division, primarily related to Maritech acquisition and exploitation and development activities. During the third quarter, Maritech paid cash of approximately $41.6 million as a portion of the consideration for one of its acquisition transactions and received approximately $18.3 million in the net closing settlement of another of its acquisition transactions. These amounts, along with approximately $21.4 million of drilling and development expenditures, represented the majority of the WA&D Division investment activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Maritech conducts development and exploitation operations on certain of its oil and gas properties, which are intended to increase the cash flows on such properties prior to their ultimate abandonment. The Production Enhancement Division expended approximately $25.7 million, primarily for Compressco’s continuing fleet expansion and the additions and enhancements to the Company’s production testing equipment fleet. The Fluids Division incurred approximately $5.7 million of capital expenditures, primarily for the expansion of blending facilities related to its domestic completion fluids business. The remaining capital expenditures were used to support general corporate activities. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company generated $5.5 million from the sales of assets, mainly from the sale by the Fluids Division of certain international assets and from the sale by the WA&D Division of certain Maritech properties as well as certain well abandonment and pipeyard assets.

The Company expects to continue its ongoing capital expenditure program in order to grow and expand its existing operations in each of its operating divisions. The Company expects to fund such capital expenditures largely from cash flow from its operations. The vast majority of the Company’s future cash capital expenditure plans is discretionary, however, and may be changed, postponed, or cancelled as conditions change. In addition, the Company’s continuing strategy also includes the pursuit of suitable acquisition transactions and the identification of opportunities to establish operations in additional niche oil and gas service markets. Given the Company’s financial position, such acquisitions could be consummated using debt, equity, or any combination thereof. To the extent the Company consummates a significant transaction, the Company’s liquidity position could be affected.

Financing Activities – To fund its fixed capital, acquisition, and working capital requirements, the Company supplements its existing cash balances and cash flow from operating activities as needed from long-term borrowings, short-term borrowings, equity issuances, and other sources of capital. In September 2004, the

20


Company entered into a five year $140 million bank credit facility, which the Company may increase to a maximum of $200 million with the agreement of the existing or additional lenders. The facility is unsecured and guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.75%, depending on a certain financial ratio of the Company. As of September 30, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding balance under the credit facility was 4.62%. The Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.375% on unused portions of the facility.

The Company’s credit facility agreement contains customary financial ratio covenants and dollar limits on the total amount of capital expenditures, acquisitions, and asset sales. Access to the Company’s revolving credit line is dependent upon its ability to comply with certain financial ratio covenants set forth in the credit agreement. Significant deterioration of these ratios could result in a default under the credit agreement and, if not remedied, could result in termination of the agreement and acceleration of any outstanding balances under the facility. The credit facility agreement also includes cross-default provisions relating to any other indebtedness greater than $5 million. If any such indebtedness is not paid, or is accelerated, and such event is not remedied in a timely manner, a default will occur under the Company’s credit facility. The credit facility agreement also prohibits dividends and the Company’s repurchase of equity interests if the Company is in default, or if such distribution or repurchase would result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of its credit facility as of September 30, 2005. The Company’s continuing ability to comply with these financial covenants centers largely upon its ability to generate adequate cash flow. Historically, the Company’s financial performance has been more than adequate to meet these covenants, and the Company expects this trend to continue. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company borrowed additional funds of approximately $44.6 million under the credit facility, primarily to fund the August 2005 acquisition of producing properties by Maritech. Also during the first nine months of 2005, the Company repaid approximately $49.6 million of the balance outstanding under the credit facility. The Company intends to continue to utilize surplus cash flows from operations to further reduce its borrowings.

In September 2004, the Company issued, and sold through a private placement, $55 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-A Notes and 28 million Euros (approximately $33.7 million equivalent as of September 30, 2005) in aggregate principal amount of Series 2004-B Notes pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (collectively the Senior Notes). The Series 2004-A Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.07% and mature on September 30, 2011. The Series 2004-B Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.79% and also mature on September 30, 2011. Interest on the Senior Notes is due semiannually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured and guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions, requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, and contains customary default provisions as well as cross-default provisions relating to any other indebtedness of $20 million or more. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of its Senior Notes as of September 30, 2005. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Senior Notes may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding at the time.

The Company also has filed a universal acquisition shelf registration statement on Form S-4 that permits the Company to issue up to $400 million of common stock, preferred stock, senior and subordinated debt securities and warrants in one or more acquisition transactions that the Company may undertake from time to time. As part of the Company’s strategic plan, the Company evaluates opportunities to acquire businesses and assets and intends to pursue attractive acquisition opportunities, which may involve the payment of cash or issuance of debt or equity securities. Such acquisitions may be funded with existing cash balances, with funds under the Company’s credit facility, or with securities issued under the Company’s acquisition shelf registration on Form S-4.

In addition to the aforementioned revolving credit facility, the Company funds its short-term liquidity requirements from cash generated by operations, short-term vendor financing, and, to a minor extent, from leasing with institutional leasing companies. The Company believes its principal sources of liquidity, cash flow from operations, revolving credit facility, and other traditional financing arrangements are adequate to meet its current and anticipated capital and operating requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements – As of September 30, 2005, the Company had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material affect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

21


Commitments and Contingencies – The Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcomes of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material impact on the financial statements.

A subsidiary of the Company, TETRA Micronutrients, Inc. (TMI), previously owned and operated a production facility located in Fairbury, Nebraska. TMI is subject to an Administrative Order on Consent issued to American Microtrace, Inc. (n/k/a/ TETRA Micronutrients, Inc.) in the proceeding styled In the Matter of American Microtrace Corporation, EPA I.D. No. NED00610550, Respondent, Docket No. VII-98-H-0016, dated September 25, 1998 (the Consent Order), with regard to the Fairbury facility. TMI is liable for future remediation costs at the Fairbury facility under the Consent Order; however, the current owner of the Fairbury facility is responsible for costs associated with the closure of that facility. The Company has reviewed the estimated remediation costs prepared by its independent, third party environmental engineering consultant, which it based on a detailed environmental study. The estimated remediation costs range from $0.6 million to $1.4 million. Based upon its review and discussions with its third party consultants, the Company has established a reserve for such remediation costs of $0.6 million, undiscounted, at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The reserve will be adjusted as information develops or conditions change.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein and elsewhere may be deemed to be forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the “safe harbor” provisions of that act, including without limitation, statements concerning future sales, earnings, costs, expenses, acquisitions or corporate combinations, asset recoveries, working capital, capital expenditures, financial condition, effects of the recent hurricanes, including damages to our equipment and facilities, and the Company’s ability to resume all of its operations, and other results of operations. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements. Some of the risk factors that could affect the Company's actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from any such results that might be projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted by the Company in such forward-looking statements are set forth in the section titled “Certain Business Risks and Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as well as other risks identified from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company has market risk exposure in the pricing applicable to its oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by prevailing worldwide prices for crude oil and spot prices in the U.S. natural gas market. Historically, prices received for oil and gas production have been volatile and unpredictable, and price volatility is expected to continue. The Company’s risk management activities involve the use of derivative financial instruments, such as swap and collar agreements, to hedge the impact of market price risk exposures for a portion of its oil and gas production. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company’s Maritech Resources, Inc. subsidiary consummated the acquisition of additional oil and gas producing properties in three separate acquisition transactions. Given the increased oil and gas production volumes expected as a result of these acquisitions, the Company entered into additional derivative financial instruments designed to hedge the price volatility associated with a portion of the increased production. The Company is exposed to the volatility of oil and gas prices for the portion of its oil and gas production that is not hedged.

22


FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had the following cash flow hedging swap and collar contracts outstanding relating to a portion of Maritech’s oil and gas production:

Each oil and gas swap contract uses WTI NYMEX or NYMEX Henry Hub as the referenced commodity, as applicable. The market value of the Company’s oil swap contracts at September 30, 2005 was approximately $4.8 million, which is reflected as a liability. A $1 per barrel increase in the future price of oil would result in the market value of the combined oil derivative liability increasing by $2.1 million. The market value of the Company’s natural gas swap and collar contracts at September 30, 2005 was approximately $9.7 million, which is reflected as a liability. A $0.10 per Mmbtu increase in the future price of natural gas would result in the market value of the combined natural gas derivative liability increasing by $0.8 million.

The market value of the Company’s oil swap at December 31, 2004 was $60,000, which was reflected as a liability. A $1 per barrel increase in the future price of oil would have resulted in the market value of the derivative liability increasing by $183,000.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2005, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Purchase Price has been allocated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5 herein.

(b) Adjusted Purchase Price. The net price which the Purchaser shall pay for the Assets (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) shall be:

(1) The Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.1(a) above;

(2) Plus the amount of all direct expenditures and costs (capital and expensed) chargeable to the Assets under any applicable operating or unit agreement and incurred and paid by or on behalf of Seller in the ordinary course of owning and operating the Assets and attributable to the period from the Effective Time to the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, those expenditures and costs set forth in Section 13.17(a);

(3) Plus an amount equal to all prepaid expenses that are actually paid by or on behalf of Seller prior to the Closing Date in the ordinary course of owning and operating the Assets as heretofore owned and operated and attributable to the Assets and allocable to any period after the Effective Time;

(4) Plus an amount equal to the value of Seller’s interest in all merchantable oil in the tanks on the Effective Time attributable to the Assets net of all applicable taxes and royalties paid by Seller;

7


(5) Less the amount of gross proceeds received by or credited to Seller that are attributable to the sale of any hydrocarbon production from the Assets for any period of time after the Effective Time net of all applicable taxes and royalties paid by Seller;

(6) Less the amount of all expenditures and costs relating to the Assets, such as unpaid ad valorem, property, production, severance, and similar taxes and assessments (but not including income, franchise, or similar taxes) based upon or measured by the ownership of the Assets, or the production of hydrocarbons or the receipt of proceeds therefrom, which are payable or which accrued to the Assets prior to the Effective Time and that are unpaid as of the Closing Date;

(7) Less the allocated value for any of the Subject Properties deleted from this transaction pursuant to this Agreement;

(8) Plus or less, as applicable, any amounts determined to be subject to a Purchase Price Adjustment provided for in Sections 2.4 (Deposit), 3.5 (Title Defects), 3.7 (Environmental Defects), 3.10 (Preferential Purchase Rights), and 12.3 (Casualty Loss) herein; and

(9) As adjusted up or down pursuant to Section 13.17(a).

2.2 Manner of Payment. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay Seller or Seller’s designee the Adjusted Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to Seller’s written instructions.

2.3 Like Kind Exchange Option. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

2.4. Deposit. Prior to the execution hereof or upon or after the execution hereof Purchaser has paid or shall pay to Seller Four Million Nine Hundred Thousand ($4,900,000.00) (US$) Dollars (the "Deposit"). Except as provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will not bear interest and is not refundable. The Deposit is composed of two parts.

ARTICLE 3. DEFECTS

3.1 Access to Records and the Properties. For the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on August 9, 2005 (“Examination Period”), Seller shall, beginning on the first Business Day after the Execution Date, give Purchaser and its authorized representatives, during regular business hours, at Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and expense, access to all written geological, geophysical, production, engineering and other technical data and records, including without limitation 2D and/or 3D seismic data, other seismic data, logs, maps, and other technical data, and to all contract, land, environmental, regulatory, title, lease, accounting and marketing records, to the extent such data and records are in Seller’s possession and relate to the Assets, and to such other information relating to the Assets as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, Seller shall have no obligation to provide Purchaser access to any data or information which is an Excluded Asset or that relates to an Excluded Asset, or to which access Seller cannot legally provide Purchaser without penalty, cost or liability or because of third-party restrictions on Seller. Seller agrees to use its reasonable efforts (at no cost to Seller) to assist Purchaser in obtaining the consent of any such third party to furnish such information to Purchaser. Except where restricted by agreement, Purchaser shall be allowed to make copies of such data at its own expense. Purchaser shall obtain confidentiality agreements (in a form acceptable to Seller) with any third parties it employs to conduct the review of such data. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser shall keep all materials and data obtained, and all reports resulting therefrom, confidential and shall return any and all materials and data as to any properties not purchased at Closing and shall destroy materials containing confidential information or summaries, or excerpts thereof if Closing does not occur. Seller makes no warranty of any kind as to the title information and other information supplied, and Purchaser agrees that any conclusions drawn from any information provided shall be the result of Purchaser’s own judgment and independent examination. Further, Seller shall, subject to the forty-eight (48) hour prior written notification period provided in Section 3.7.(b) below, afford Purchaser and its authorized representatives reasonable access during the Examination Period to the Assets it operates and to Authorized Contacts, at the locations where such Persons work. Although Seller shall endeavor to cooperate, at Purchaser’s cost, Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to provide any information to Purchaser that is available to the general public, whether in public records or from a Governmental Entity or Agency upon request. Further, Seller’s obligation under Sections 3.1 and 3.6 shall be limited to Seller’s present capability to allow Purchaser’s access in Seller’s offices, without disruption or undue inconvenience to Seller’s ongoing business, and Seller shall not be required to create, assemble (in a form different than such Records currently exist) or develop Records for Purchaser’s access.

3.2 Special Warranty of Title. Under the Assignment and Bill of Sale to be provided at Closing, Seller will warrant and shall defend title to the Subject Properties against any and all persons whomsoever claiming the same or any part thereof by through or under Seller, but not otherwise. Said warranty will survive the Closing until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, from and after which time such warranty will terminate and cease to be of further force and effect. Furthermore, the standard for this warranty is Acceptable Title as defined below.

3.3 Definition of Acceptable Title. As used herein, the term "Acceptable Title" shall mean, as to the Subject Properties, such right, title and interest that as to the existing production from the currently producing intervals in the Wells, (a) entitles Seller to receive not less than the net revenue interest set forth in Exhibit "A-1" of all oil, gas and associated liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed from the currently producing intervals of the respective Subject Properties; (b) obligates Seller to bear costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operation of the Wells relative to the respective Subject Properties in a percentage not greater than the working interest set forth in Exhibit “A-1” for each, unless there is a corresponding increase in the applicable net revenue interest; and (c) except for Permitted Encumbrances, is free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances; provided, however that the presence of a preferential right to purchase provision shall not be considered to be a Title Defect as defined in Section 3.5 below. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any net revenue interests and working interests reflected on Exhibit "A-1" are for the convenience of Seller and Purchaser and included solely for the purpose of determining Acceptable Title prior to Closing; Seller does not and shall not represent or warrant that the interest conveyed in the Subject Properties is equal to any such interests in any respect, but agrees that (i) for purposes of determining Defects prior to Closing, with respect to those Subject Properties listed on Exhibit "A-1" with "0.0000" "APO" interests, the "APO" interests shall be deemed to be the same as the corresponding "BPO" interests, and (ii) Purchaser may assert as a Title Defect (as defined in and subject to this Article 3) any matter reasonably expected to reduce the net revenue interest assigned to such Subject Property or well or any matter reasonably expected to increase the working interest assigned to such Subject Property and Well unless there is a corresponding increase in the applicable net revenue interest.

3.4 Definition of Permitted Encumbrances. As used herein, the term "Permitted Encumbrances" shall mean the following items, provided none of the following items shall operate, as of Closing, to increase the working interest of Seller as set forth in Exhibit “A-1” for any of the Subject Properties, without a corresponding increase in the applicable net revenue interest, or decrease the net revenue interest of Seller set forth in Exhibit “A-1” for any of the Subject Properties:

(a) lessors' royalties, overriding royalties, production payments, reversionary interests and similar burdens;

(b) division orders and sales contracts;

10


(c) preferential rights to purchase on any of the Subject Properties as identified in writing by Seller and described on Schedule 3.4(c);

(j) Title Defects that Purchaser may have expressly waived in writing or which are deemed to have been waived pursuant to Article 3;

(k) all conveyances, reservations and exceptions which are present in the records of the Governmental Entities having jurisdiction over the Subject Properties or are recorded in the public records of the parish in which the affected Assets are located or contained in the Records and/or information made available to Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.1 affecting the Assets and which do not materially and adversely affect the Properties or their use for oil and gas development purposes or impair Purchaser’s surface operations associated with the Assets;

11


(l) that letter of credit (and any extensions or amendments thereof) up to the aggregate sum of $7,000,000.00 required or issued pursuant to or in conformance with the terms of the ASA and Closing Agreement, as defined in Section 9.2 (f)(ii) below, for the benefit of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., or Chevron Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries to secure abandonment of Wells or other Assets, all or in part (the “Chevron Letter of Credit”); or

(m) all other liens, charges, encumbrances, contracts, agreements, instruments, obligations, defects and irregularities which are not such as to interfere materially with the operation or use of the Subject Properties (taken as a whole) or materially reduce the value thereof.

(4) Seller is in default under a material provision of a lease, farmout agreement, operating agreement or other contract or agreement affecting the Subject Properties and such default has originally occurred between January 1, 1990 and the Execution Date and is reasonably expected to interfere materially with the operation of such Subject Properties or materially reduce the value thereof.

12


(b) In the event Purchaser, prior to the end of the Examination Period, discovers the existence of valid contracts or agreements binding on Seller which are such as to interfere materially with the operation or use of the Subject Properties (taken as a whole) in the manner the same have been operated by Seller or materially reduce the value thereof, and the same do not or in the passage of time will not cause the net revenue or working interest set forth on Exhibit A-1 to be affected, Purchaser may assert such matters as “Materially Adverse Agreements” and submit the same as if they were a Defect under Section 3.8 and subject to the terms, including but not limited to, the Threshold therein. Materially Adverse Agreements do not include any matter which could be raised as a Title Defect or:

Seller will not be required to perform any additional title work, and if there are any existing abstracts and title opinions, Seller will not be required to make them current.

(a) Subject to the terms hereof and the Confidentiality Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right at its sole risk and expense to make an environmental and other physical assessment of the Lands and Assets during the Examination Period, as defined in Section 3.1 above. If Purchaser desires to undertake an environmental assessment, the identity of the consultant(s) conducting the assessment shall be disclosed to Seller by Purchaser, and if Seller makes a reasonable objection to such consultant, such consultant will not be used by Purchaser.

(b) During Seller's normal business hours and subject to the terms of this Agreement and Related Agreements, Purchaser and its employees, contractors and consultants (“Agents”), at their sole cost and expense, shall have the right to enter upon the Assets operated by Seller and all buildings and improvements thereon (and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission from third parties for Purchaser to gain access to Assets operated by others but such access and the terms of such access cannot be guaranteed), inspect the same, conduct soil

14


and water tests and non-destructive borings, and generally conduct such tests, examinations, investigations and studies as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for the preparation of appropriate environmental and other reports relating to the Assets, their condition, and the presence of wastes or contaminants. Purchaser shall provide Seller with forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of the identity of the consultant, projected scope of the assessment and testing protocol to be employed in the assessment, regardless of who operates the same, and Seller shall have the right to (i) witness all such tests and investigations, (ii) receive an equal distribution of all samples taken by Purchaser or its Agents, and (iii) prohibit such tests and investigations which it reasonably believes could damage its properties or business interests. In the event Purchaser reasonably determines to expand the scope of its assessment, including testing protocols, beyond those initially identified by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall give Seller forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice. Seller shall then have the right to prohibit such expanded assessment which it reasonably believes could damage its properties or business interests.

(c)In the event Seller exercises its right to prohibit such expanded assessment, then Purchaser shall have the option to claim the full allocated value of such property affected as an Environmental Defect, subject to the threshold amounts in Section 3.8 below.

(d)Entry onto the Assets by Purchaser or its Agents will be subject to third-party restrictions, if any, and to Seller’s safety, industrial hygiene, and drug and alcohol policies and guidelines and Purchaser will be responsible for assuring compliance with same by itself and its Agents.

(e)Purchaser and its Agents shall keep any data or information acquired by all such examinations and the results of all analyses of such data and information strictly confidential and not disclose any of the same to any Person unless otherwise required by law or regulation and then only after written notice to Seller of the need for disclosure and the identity of all intended recipients.

(f) Seller hereby grants Purchaser access to the Assets to conduct its environmental and other physical assessment upon the condition that PURCHASER HEREBY RELEASES, INDEMNIFIES, DEFENDS AND HOLDS SELLER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSON THAT HAS SERVED AS A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE THEREOF, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF WHATEVER NATURE FOR OR RELATED TO PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR AS A RESULT OF THE ACTIVITIES BY OR ON BEHALF OF PURCHASER OR ITS AGENTS ON OR RELATED TO THE ASSETS IN CONDUCTING SUCH ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL ASSESSMENTS OR THE EXERCISE OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS SECTION 3.7.

3.8 Notice of Defects. If any matter is discovered by Purchaser that, in Purchaser's reasonable, good faith opinion, would (a) constitute a Title Defect; (b) constitute an Environmental Defect; but as to (a) above, only to the extent that each such matter exceeds a value of $20,000.00 and for, and only for, (b) above individual defects must exceed a minimum

15


of $75,000.00 individually, a "Defect," and collectively the "Defects”, then if, and only if, the total value of all Defects as to Sections 3.5 and 3.7 exceed five per cent (5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Threshold”), Purchaser may provide written notice (a "Notice of Defects") thereof actually delivered to Seller not later than noon, on the first Business Day after the end of the Examination Period. A Notice of Defects shall specifically identify the Defect and include (i) the Purchaser's purported value of each specific Defect which value, collectively for all Defects for that Subject Property or Asset, cannot exceed as to the total of all Environmental Defects or, separately, the total of all Title Defects, the Allocated Value of the affected Subject Property or Asset as set out on Exhibit "A-1" and the final adjustment for the total Defects claims as to any Subject Property cannot exceed the Allocated Value for that Subject Property, (ii) an identification of each affected Asset, (iii) Purchaser's basis for determining the existence and value of such Defect, together with copies of all associated reports, title opinions, data, curative information, evidence, valuations, assessments, conclusions and supporting calculations, and (iv) Purchaser's statement of steps reasonably necessary to cure or minimize each such Defect to its satisfaction, all of which shall be kept strictly confidential by Purchaser and its Agents, except to the extent required by law, regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority or as may be necessary to address Defects identified in a Notice of Defects. If there exists one or more Title Defects or Environmental Defects, such Defects must be raised in the Notice of Defects or be forever waived by Purchaser.

IN ADDITION TO PURCHASER’S OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, UPON AND AFTER CLOSING, SHALL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH AND EVERY DEFECT BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE THRESHOLD.

3.9 Remedy for Title and Environmental Defects. In Seller's sole discretion, but without obligation, it may, at its sole cost, take such steps it deems appropriate or as are identified by Purchaser’s Notice of Defects pursuant to Section 3.8 above as are reasonably necessary to cure or minimize Defects identified in the Notice of Defects. In the event Seller is unable or elects not to cure or minimize any or all such Defects claiming a reduction in the Purchase Price, or if any examination by Purchaser or Seller results in a finding that the interest of Seller is greater than stated in Exhibit "A-1" and such increase (which such increase must, if found by Purchaser, be identified by Purchaser in the Notice of Defects to Seller) serves to increase the value of the Subject Properties or component of the Assets, Seller and Purchaser may, at Seller's option, meet and discuss the validity of each such Defect claim and the need for and the amount of any mutually acceptable Purchase Price adjustment.

(a) Title Defects. Title Defect adjustments shall be made with reference (as a maximum) to the Allocated Value for each affected Asset as set forth in Exhibit "A-1" and based on the criteria set forth in Section 3.5. At any time after the Notice of Defects, if Purchaser has not agreed to waive such Defect, and if the Parties cannot otherwise agree on the amount of an adjustment or other remedy, Seller may, in addition to any of its rights to terminate this Agreement, at its sole option and upon written notice to Purchaser sent no later than the third Business Day before the Closing Date, either:

16


(1) elect to delay, without penalty or liability, the Closing for thirty (30) days in order to cure the Defect at its own expense, with such delay having no effect on, and being in addition to and under the same terms as, Seller’s right to delay pursuant to Section 8.1;

(2) remove the affected Asset from this Agreement and adjust the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value for the Asset; or

(3) elect to resolve the dispute under the procedures set forth in Section 13.23 of this Agreement.

(b) Environmental Defects. Environmental Defects will be based on the criteria set forth in Section 3.7. At any time after the Notice of Defects, if Purchaser has not agreed to waive such Defect and the Parties cannot otherwise agree on the amount of an adjustment or other remedy, Seller may, in addition to any of its rights to terminate this Agreement, at its sole option, and upon written notice to Purchaser sent no later than the third Business Day before the Closing Date, either:

(1) elect to delay, without penalty or liability, the Closing for thirty (30) days in order to cure or remediate or decide whether to elect to cure and remediate, the Defect at its own expense (under the terms and procedures set forth below), with such delay having no effect on, and being in addition to and under the same terms as, Seller’s right to delay pursuant to Section 8.1;

(2) adjust the Purchase Price allocation for an Asset by a mutually acceptable amount reflecting Seller’s net proportionate share, based on its working interest, of the cost reasonably estimated to remediate the Environmental Defect (in the manner described below) affecting the Assets, but only to the level required by the Environmental Laws in effect at the end of the Examination Period and not to exceed the full allocated value for the affected Asset(s). Seller may require Purchaser to remit the full allocation at Closing, without adjustment for the Environmental Defect, but if it does so, it will pay the amount of the adjustment to Purchaser when the remediation performed by Purchaser is complete under applicable law. If the cost to remediate exceeds the amount of the adjustment, Purchaser will pay the additional costs to remediate the Environmental Defect as required by applicable law;

(3) remove the affected Asset from this Agreement and adjust the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value for the affected Asset; or

(4) elect to resolve the dispute under Section 13.23 of this Agreement.

(c) Procedures if Seller Remediates. If, prior to Closing, Seller elects or agrees with Purchaser to remediate an Environmental Defect or is required by a Governmental

17


Entity to remediate an Environmental Defect, the following will govern the remediation:

(1) Seller will be responsible for all negotiations and contacts with federal, state, and local agencies and authorities with regard to the Environmental Defect or remediation. Purchaser may not make any independent contacts with any agency, authority, or other third party with respect to the Environmental Defect or remediation and will keep all information regarding the Environmental Defect confidential, except in each instance to the extent required by applicable law. Seller will provide to Purchaser a final report of Seller’s remediation activities. Seller will notify purchaser forty-eight (48) hours in advance of its remediation activities on site of the Assets, and Purchaser and/or its Agents will have the right to be present during such remediation activities, at Purchaser’s sole risk, expense and option.

(2) Seller will remediate the Environmental Defect to the level agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser or as required by any Governmental Entity, but in no event will Seller be required to remediate the Environmental Defect beyond the level required by the Environmental Laws in effect on the Execution Date or as required by any Governmental Entity.

(3) If such remediation activities occur after Closing, during Purchaser’s normal business hours, Purchaser will grant reasonable access to the Assets and entry on the Lands, Subject Properties and Property (and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to obtain permission for Seller to gain access to Assets operated by others but such access and the terms of such access cannot be guaranteed) after Closing to Seller, its Representatives, and third parties conducting assessments or remediation, to the extent and as long as necessary to conduct and complete the assessment or remediation work, to remove any equipment and facilities used in connection with Seller’s assessment or remediation, and to perform any other activities reasonably necessary in connection with assessment or remediation.

(4) If such remediation activities occur after Closing, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with Seller’s ingress or egress or assessment or remediation activities. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the work so as to minimize disruption to Purchaser’s business activities and to the Assets, the Lands and the Property.

(5) Seller will continue remediation of the Environmental Defect until the first of the following occurs:

(a) The appropriate governmental authorities provide written notice that no further remediation of the Environmental Defect is required (the Party receiving notice shall immediately provide such notice to the other Party); or

18


(b) Seller reasonably determines that the Environmental Defect has been remediated to the level required by the Environmental Laws or as agreed in writing by the Parties.

Upon the occurrence of either (a) or (b) above, Seller will notify Purchaser that remediation of the Environmental Defect is complete and provide a copy of the notification described in (a) above, if applicable. Upon delivery of Seller’s notice, Seller will be released, without further action or documentation, from all liability and have no further obligations under any provisions of this Agreement in connection with said Environmental Defect.

(6) Until Seller completes remediation of an Environmental Defect, Seller and Purchaser will each promptly notify the other of any pending or threatened Claim, action, or proceeding by any authority or private party that relates to or would affect the environmental condition, the assessment, or the remediation of the affected Assets or Property.

(7) After Closing and before Seller has completed remediation of an Environmental Defect, if a leak, spill, or discharge of any material or substance (“Occurrence”) occurs on the Property or Assets, or any part of them, Purchaser will promptly notify Seller and act promptly to minimize the effects of the Occurrence. If a spill, leak or discharge occurs and Seller determines that it may affect that area where Seller is conducting remediation or assessment, Purchaser will hire a consultant (who must be acceptable to Seller) to assess the effect of the Occurrence on the environmental condition of the Property or Assets, Seller’s remediation work and the cost of the additional work required as the result of the Occurrence. Unless the Occurrence was caused solely or substantially by Seller, Purchaser will be responsible for the incremental cost of remediating the impact of the Occurrence. If Seller’s remediation is expanded to incorporate remediation of the Occurrence, Purchaser will promptly pay its share of costs and expenses to Seller as the work is performed, within thirty days of receipt of invoices for the work (with supporting documentation). Payments not made timely will bear interest at a rate of twelve percent per annum or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is less, compounded daily from the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the invoice until paid.

If the cost of the additional work equals or exceeds the cost which would have been incurred but for the Occurrence, Seller will pay Purchaser the cost that would have been incurred by Seller to complete the remediation but for the Occurrence, unless the Occurrence was caused solely or substantially by Seller. As consideration for this payment, Purchaser will accept the environmental condition of the Property and Assets as they exist on the date of the payment, assume full responsibility for remediating the Property and Assets and related off-site contamination in accordance with this Agreement, and agree to release,

19


indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Seller and its Representatives as to Claims arising from the Occurrence to the same extent as described in Article 9.

(8) If Seller undertakes remediation as to any Assets in which Seller’s ownership was less than 100%, Purchaser will bill the other working interest owners for their share of the remediation expenses. Regardless of whether Purchaser recoups any amount from the other working interest owners, Purchaser will refund to Seller, within sixty days of each Seller invoice, with documentation, any amounts expended by Seller over the amount formerly attributable to Seller’s working interest share.

(9) If Seller will assess or remediate the Assets or Property after Closing, the Assignment and Bill of Sale or other recordable instrument will restate the rights and obligations of this section.

3.10. Preferential Purchase Rights and Consents to Assign. (a) Seller has used reasonable efforts in preparing Schedules 3.4(c) and 3.4(d), which identify Persons (and their addresses) who may hold preferential rights to purchase affecting the Subject Properties or rights to consent with respect to any assignments required hereby in order the convey the Assets, other than such consents of governmental authorities, which are usually obtained in the normal course of business after Closing. Purchaser recognizes that there may be other Persons who may hold preferential rights to purchase all or part of the Subject Properties or rights to consent. (b) On or before the third Business Day after the Execution Date, Purchaser shall give Seller written notice, the mutually agreed form of notice to be used, and instructions for Seller to send notice to those Persons who may hold preferential rights to purchase or rights to consent to assign as set forth in Schedules 3.4(d) and 3.4(e) or otherwise identified by Purchaser. Within four (4) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s written notification and instruction by Purchaser, or upon Seller’s own initiative, with or without Purchaser’s approval, but without obligation to initiate, Seller shall send notice of this Agreement to all such Persons (i) offering to sell to each such Person the Subject Properties for which a preferential right is held on and subject to the terms hereof and for the same allocated value for such Subject Properties reflected on Exhibit "A-1", or (ii) requesting, where appropriate, consent to any assignment required in connection herewith in order to convey the Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and recognizing that Seller wants to sell the entirety of the Subject Properties in accordance herewith, Seller will have no obligation to complete the sale of a Subject Property or Subject Properties to a holder of a preferential purchase right if Closing does not occur. If additional preferential rights to purchase or consents to assign, exclusive of those set forth in Section 3.4 above, are discovered by Purchaser or Seller during the Examination Period, Seller will use reasonable commercial efforts to send notices as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with this Section 3.10. Although Purchaser is ultimately responsible for the sending of such notices; until Closing Seller shall be responsible for sending such notices and collecting responses from each and every applicable Person, including but not limited

20


to, lessors, joint interest owners, farmors, sublessors, assignors, grantors, co-parties to Agreements, Governmental Entities having jurisdiction, or third parties, relating to approvals and consents and will provide Purchaser on or before the Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, with copies of each consent, approval or waiver Seller has received. Seller and Purchaser shall meet and agree on the form of all such notices; provided that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) If, prior to Closing, any of such Persons asserting a preferential purchase right notifies Seller that it intends to consummate the purchase of the Subject Properties to which it holds a preferential purchase right pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, or if the period allowed for acceptance of the notice provided by Seller has not expired or will not expire as of Closing (subject to Seller’s right to extend the date of Closing), then such Subject Properties shall be excluded at Closing from the Assets to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the allocated value of such Subject Properties reflected in Exhibit "A-1"; provided, however, that if the holder of such preferential right fails to consummate the purchase of such Subject Properties before or within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (unless the notice or acceptance period for the right of preferential purchase allows for a longer period of time), then Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser, and Seller shall sell promptly (with a reasonable time given Seller to assemble documentation for such sale) to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, for a price equal to the allocated value of such Subject Properties and upon the other terms of this Agreement, the Subject Properties to which the preferential purchase right was asserted. (d) All Subject Properties for which all preferential purchase rights have been waived or have not been accepted prior to expiration after timely notice of the acceptance period by the holder of such right shall be sold to Purchaser at Closing pursuant and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If one (1) or more of the holders of any preferential purchase rights notifies Seller subsequent to Closing that it intends to assert its preferential purchase right, Seller shall give notice thereof to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall satisfy all such preferential purchase right obligations of Seller to such holders including, but not limited to, transferring the affected Assets to the holder of such rights and shall indemnify and hold Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives harmless from and against any and all Claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection therewith, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive upon satisfaction in full by Purchaser of all the foregoing obligations all proceeds received from such holders in connection with such preferential purchase rights. AT, UPON AND AFTER CLOSING, PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY, RELEASE, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER, SELLER’S AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) ASSERTED OR INCURRED AT ANY TIME (WHETHER BEFORE, ON OR AFTER CLOSING) WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE CLAIMS OF ANY PERSON TO A PREFERENTIAL PURCHASE RIGHT OR RIGHT TO

21


CONSENT AFFECTING ANY OF THE ASSETS TRANSFERRED TO PURCHASER HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE ALLOCATED VALUE PLACED BY PURCHASER ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OR THE FORM , TIMELINESS OR MANNER OF NOTICE OR FAILURE TO NOTIFY.

3.11 Termination by Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to Closing, Seller shall have an absolute right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Purchaser, without liability or further obligation to Purchaser if the Title Defects presented by Purchaser and the Environmental Defects presented by Purchaser combined exceed ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to Purchaser or any Person to sell, convey, deliver or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Assets if Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.11. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Seller has no obligation to adjust the Purchase Price with respect to Defects.

3.12 Purchaser’s Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in Article 3 to the contrary, in the event Seller delivers a notice terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.11, Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after receipt of said notice to forever waive, by written notice delivered to Seller on or before said date and time, Defects which constitute the grounds stated for termination in said termination notice, and if Purchaser so waives said Defects and matters, the notice of termination delivered by Seller shall be considered withdrawn. If Closing occurs after such withdrawal, Purchaser shall be deemed to have forever waived and/or assumed any and all Claims, known and unknown, arising from or related to any and all Defects or title to or defect or other condition of the Assets in whole or in part, including, without limitation, whether or not identified in a Notice of Defects, and notwithstanding the fact that Seller may not have cured any such Defect(s) to Purchaser's satisfaction, and Seller shall have no obligation with respect thereto.

Pursuant to the ASA and the Closing Agreement, Chevron retained responsibility for the plugging and abandoning of certain wells and the restoration and reclamation of certain pits and pit areas and the surface areas associated with certain wells (“Chevron Retained Liabilities”) among other matters relating to the Assets. Seller agrees that as between Seller and Purchaser, Seller shall be responsible for any Claims arising to the extent and only to the extent pertaining to the obligations comprising the Chevron Retained Liabilities as provided herein:

(5) the losses or damages claimed by Purchaser shall exceed, in the aggregate, a deductible of *** dollars (US$***) which has been or is to be borne by Purchaser, however, in no event shall Seller be responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities hereunder, to the extent such Claims equal or exceed or have equaled or exceeded, in the aggregate, an amount borne or to be borne by Seller of *** dollars ($***).

During the period when Purchaser is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities, Seller shall cooperate and coordinate with Purchaser to contact Chevron and take such further action as may be reasonable and necessary to have Chevron perform its obligations under the ASA and Closing Agreement pertaining to the Chevron Retained Liabilities. During the period when Seller is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities, Purchaser shall cooperate and coordinate with Seller to contact Chevron and take such further action as may be reasonable and necessary to have Chevron perform its obligations under the ASA and Closing Agreement pertaining to the Chevron Retained Liabilities. During the period when Purchaser is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities, Purchaser shall be deemed to have been assigned all rights of Seller under the ASA and Closing Agreement to enforce against Chevron the Sections pertaining

39


to the Chevron Retained Liabilities and similarly during the period when Seller is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities, Seller shall be deemed to have retained all rights of Seller under the ASA and Closing Agreement to enforce against Chevron the Sections therein pertaining to the Chevron Retained Liabilities. The Parties shall take such reasonable steps and execute such reasonable documents to assist the other during the period the other Party is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities. During the period when Seller is responsible for the Chevron Retained Liabilities, Purchaser shall allow Seller and its representatives and contractors access to the Assets and Subject Properties, without charge, so that Seller may fulfill its obligations hereunder pertaining to the Chevron Retained Liabilities.

9.3. Further Assurances. After Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to take such further actions and to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further documents and take such further action that is necessary or useful in carrying out the purposes of this Agreement or of any document delivered pursuant hereto. The Parties will cooperate at all times after Closing to execute and record correction instruments to correct scrivener's errors in the preparation of Closing documents.

9.4 Delivery of Records. As soon as reasonably possible but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver the Records covering the Assets with Purchaser bearing the expense for such delivery; provided, that Seller (i) shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser at Closing or as soon thereafter as is practicable with all Records necessary to assume and conduct operations of the Assets, and (ii) shall have the right to retain, as its own, original Records that pertain to Excluded Assets and copies (at Seller’s cost) of all other Records. Purchaser shall provide access to Seller to all Records, with the right to copy same, upon reasonable notice during regular business hours, for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date.

9.5 Access to Data. Subject to the rights of third parties and Seller's proprietary rights, Seller, upon and after Closing, to the extent it can do so without cost or penalty, shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to Seller's books and records for a period ending two (2) years after Closing as necessary for Purchaser to prepare its financial statements.

9.6 Purchaser’s Release of Seller. Upon and after Closing, subject to Section 3.2 and Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(f), and without further action or documentation, Purchaser releases and discharges, to the maximum extent allowed by law (but no further), Seller and Seller's Affiliates and their respective Representatives from all Claims relating in any way to the Assets, the Property or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of when or how the Claims arose or arise, or whether the Claims were foreseeable or unforeseeable. Purchaser’s release of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives includes Claims resulting in any way from the negligence or strict liability of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives,

40


whether the negligence or strict liability is active, passive, joint, concurrent, or sole, but expressly excluding willful misconduct. There are no exceptions to Purchaser’s release of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Affiliates, and this release is binding on Purchaser and its successors and assigns. PURCHASER EXPRESSLY WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS AND DOES HEREBY STATE AND REPRESENT THAT NO PROMISE OR AGREEMENT WHICH IS NOT HEREIN EXPRESSED HAS BEEN MADE TO PURCHASER IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT OR AGREEING TO THIS RELEASE AND THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION OF SELLER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF SELLER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES. PURCHASER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AND SAID COUNSEL HAS READ AND EXPLAINED TO PURCHASER THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS RELEASE AND EXPLAINED THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

9.7 Retroactive Effect. Purchaser acknowledges that its obligations to release, indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives harmless apply to matters occurring or arising before, on and after the Effective Time to the extent provided in this Agreement.

9.8 Inducement to Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that it evaluated its obligations under this article and that its assumption of these obligations is a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement with and Close the sale to Purchaser.

9.9 Related Agreements. Unless specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the sale of the Assets is made subject to all oil, gas and mineral leases, deeds, purchase and sale agreements, asset sale agreements, assignments, subleases, farmout agreements, joint operating agreements, unit agreements, pooling agreements, letter agreements, easements, rights of way and all other agreements with respect to or pertaining to the Assets to the extent they are binding on Seller or Seller's Affiliates (the “Related Agreements”). Upon and after Closing, Purchaser expressly assumes the obligations and liabilities of Seller or Seller's Affiliates under such agreements insofar as the obligations and liabilities concern or pertain to the Assets and to execute any documents necessary to effectuate such assumption. The Parties agree that this Section 9.9 is applicable to all instruments whether they are recorded or not.

9.10 Litigation. Upon and after Closing, Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Seller and be responsible and liable for all litigation listed on Schedule 9.10, and all matters, costs, judgments, and expenses related thereto or arising therefrom. Seller reserves the right to remove litigation from Schedule 9.10 on or before Closing.

9.11 Purchaser’s Indemnity of Seller. Subject to Section 3.2 and except for Seller’s limited indemnity of Purchaser contained in Section 9.2(f), and without diminishing the express provisions of this Article 9, it is the intent of Purchaser and Seller that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, Seller, Seller's Affiliates and their respective Representatives be indemnified, defended and held harmless by Purchaser at all times

41


upon and after Closing in a manner so that Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, will be protected as if Seller has never at any time owned, used or operated the Assets, Lands, Subject Properties or the Property or any interest therein or pertaining thereto, in whole or in part. If any provision in this Article 9 is invalid or not allowed by Law, it is deemed modified to the limited and minimum extent to conform to law to provide Seller, and Seller's Affiliates and their respective Representatives the greatest possible protection and benefit allowed by Law.

ARTICLE 10. TERMINATION

10.1 Right of Termination. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing under the following conditions (subject to extensions allowed Seller in this Agreement):

(a) By Seller if Closing does not occur on or before September 30, 2005, for any reason other than Seller’s wrongful failure or refusal to perform its material obligations under this Agreement;

(b) By mutual written consent of the Parties;

(c) By either Seller or Purchaser if the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Entity having appropriate jurisdiction enjoining or awarding substantial damages in connection with the consummation or the transactions contemplated herein;

(d) By Purchaser if the aggregate net value of all downward and upward adjustments to the Purchase Price claimed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Article 3 and Article 12 of the Agreement, which remain unresolved as of the Closing Date, would reduce the Purchase Price by an amount exceeding 20% of the Purchase Price;

(e) By Seller if the aggregate value of all downward adjustments to the Purchase Price claimed by Purchaser pursuant to Article 3 and Section 12.3 of the Agreement exceeds 10% or more of the Purchase Price; or

(f) By Seller if any condition specified in Article 6 has not been satisfied on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, and shall not theretofore have been waived by Seller, provided that the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before such date did not result from the failure by Seller to fulfill any undertaking or commitment of Seller provided for herein that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to Closing. By Purchaser if any condition specified in Article 7 has not been satisfied on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, and shall not theretofore have been waived by Purchaser, provided that the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before such date did not result from the failure by Purchaser to fulfill any

42


undertaking or commitment of Purchaser provided for herein that is required to be fulfilled on or prior to Closing.

10.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect (except for the provisions of Sections 2.4, 3.7(f) (the penultimate sentence only), 4.4, 4.14 (the third to the last and penultimate sentences only), 5.4, Article 10 and Sections 13.1 through 13.11, Sections 13.13, 13.14, 13.15, 13.16, 13.20, 13.21, 13.22 and 13.27, each of which shall survive such termination and continue in full force and effect). If Seller validly terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or (f) above, Seller may retain up to 100% of the Deposit without further liability or obligation to Purchaser. The Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(b), (c), (d), or (e) or if validly terminated by Purchaser pursuant to 10.1(f). If Seller retains the Deposit, or a portion thereof as provided above, then such retention by Seller of the Deposit, all or in part, shall be treated by the Parties as liquidated damages, in lieu of all other damages or other remedies (it being agreed by the Parties that damages in said event would be extremely difficult to determine and that the Deposit (or the portion thereof) retained by Seller represents a fair and reasonable estimate of such damages to Seller under the circumstances and does not constitute a penalty). If the Deposit is returned to Purchaser, Seller shall have no further obligation or liability to Purchaser and PURCHASER HEREBY COVENANTS NOT TO SUE SELLER, OR SELLER’S AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR INITIATE LITIGATION OR OTHERWISE PURSUE ANY CLAIM AGAINST SELLER WITH REGARD TO ANY DISPUTES, ISSUES OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE DEPOSIT (OR ANY PURPORTEDLY LOST INTEREST THEREON) OR SELLER’S RETENTION OF ALL OR PART OF THE DEPOSIT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 10.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller shall be free immediately to enjoy all rights of ownership of the Assets and may sell, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Assets to any party without any restriction under this Agreement.

11.1 Apportionment of Ad Valorem and Property Taxes. All ad valorem taxes, real property taxes, personal property taxes, and similar obligations concerning the Assets with respect to the tax period in which the Effective Time occurs ("Property Taxes") shall be apportioned as of the Effective Time between Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed all required reports and returns incident to the Property Taxes and shall pay or cause to be paid to the taxing authorities all Property Taxes relating to the tax period in which the Effective Time occurs. Seller shall pay to Purchaser Seller’s pro rata portion of Property Taxes within thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller's invoice therefor.

43

These taxes shall be collected and remitted under applicable law. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless with respect to the payment of any of these taxes, if any, including any interest or penalties assessed thereon. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in providing any documentation necessary for Purchaser to obtain an exemption for such taxes.

11.3 Other Taxes. Except as otherwise provided herein, income taxes, franchise and similar taxes shall be the responsibility of the party incurring same. Severance taxes shall be allocated to each party based on the ownership (as of the Effective Time) of the hydrocarbon production giving rise to the liability. Except as otherwise provided herein, all taxes (other than income taxes) that are imposed on or with respect to the production of oil, natural gas or other hydrocarbons or minerals or the receipt of proceeds therefrom (including but not limited to severance, production, and excise taxes) shall be apportioned between the Parties based upon the respective shares of production taken by the Parties as of the Effective Time. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for paying or withholding or causing to be paid or withheld all such taxes and for filing all statements, returns, and documents incident thereto.

11.4 Cooperation. Each party to this Agreement shall provide the other party with reasonable access to all relevant documents, data and other information which may be required by the other party for the purpose of preparing tax returns and timely responding to any audit by any taxing jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other party made in connection with contesting the imposition of taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither party to this Agreement shall be required at any time to disclose to the other party any tax return or other confidential tax information.

11.5 Tax Reporting. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Assets subject to this Agreement do not constitute an “applicable asset acquisition” as described under Internal Revenue Code section 1060 and the regulations thereunder, and do not constitute a trade or business in the ordinary sense of the term. Nevertheless, in the event that the Assets are determined by the Internal Revenue Service (or any other regulatory body) to constitute an “applicable asset acquisition,” then both Seller and Purchaser agree and proclaim that any and all transferred assets are limited to reserves in the ground and tangible equipment and are “Class III Assets” and that there is no “goodwill” or “going concern value” attached to the transferred assets. Both Parties agree to the necessary and timely exchange of information required to complete and timely file a Form 8594, and any other form required by the Internal Revenue Service or any other regulatory agency.

ARTICLE 12. CONDITION OF THE ASSETS

44


TREATMENT, PROCESSING, DISPOSAL, INJECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF OIL AND GAS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES AND RELATED OIL AND GAS FIELD OPERATIONS. POLUTION, SUBSIDENCE, FRACTURES OR PHYSICAL CHANGES IN THE PROPERTY MAY HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF SUCH USES. THE ASSETS OR THE PROPERTY ALSO MAY INCLUDE BURIED PIPELINES, WASTES AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, WHETHER OR NOT OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE LOCATIONS OF WHICH MAY BE HIDDEN OR NOT NOW BE KNOWN OR NOT READILY APPARENT BY A PHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THE AFFECTED ASSETS. HYDROCARBONS AND OTHER SUBSTANCES, INCLUDING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, MAY HAVE COME TO BE RELEASED OR LOCATED ON OR BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE ASSETS OR THE PROPERTY.

12.2 Assumption of Assets in Present Condition. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) THE CONSUMMATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY BY PURCHASER SHALL BE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE ASSETS AND PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, SUBSURFACE CONDITION; (ii) THE ASSETS AND PROPERTY HAVE BEEN USED IN THE MANNER AND FOR THE PURPOSES SET FORTH ABOVE AND THAT PHYSICAL CHANGES TO THE ASSETS AND THE PROPERTY MAY HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF SUCH USE; AND (iii) NORM AND ASBESTOS OR MAN-MADE MATERIAL FIBERS (COLLECTIVELY “MMMF”) MAY BE PRESENT AT SOME LOCATIONS. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NORM IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON ASSOCIATED WITH MANY OIL AND GAS FIELDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. PURCHASER SHALL MAKE ITS OWN DETERMINATION OF THIS PHENOMENON AND OTHER CONDITIONS. SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRESENCE OF NORM OR MMMF ON OR AFFECTING THE ASSETS OR THE PROPERTY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.2, AT CLOSING, PURCHASER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT THE ASSETS OR THE PROPERTY MAY CONTAIN WASTES OR CONTAMINANTS AND ADVERSE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OF PIPELINES, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER ITEMS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY, TANK BOTTOMS, HEATER TREATER SLUDGE, AND WASTES OR CONTAMINANTS WHICH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY PURCHASER’S INVESTIGATION. IN ADDITION TO PURCHASER'S OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, UPON AND AFTER CLOSING, ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY RELATED TO DISPOSALS, SPILLS, WASTES, OR CONTAMINATION, OR OTHER ADVERSE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS ON, BELOW, OR RELATED TO OR AFFECTING THE ASSETS OR THE PROPERTY SHALL BE ASSUMED BY PURCHASER AND PURCHASER SHALL, NOTWITHSTANDING WHEN THE BASIS FOR ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT, JUDGMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE FOR DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE) SHALL HAVE OCCURRED OR MAY OCCUR, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER AND SELLER’S

12.3 Casualty Loss. Assuming Closing occurs and subject to the provisions of Section 13.17, in the event of any material damage by fire or other casualty to any of the Assets after the Effective Time but prior to the Closing ("Casualty Loss"), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and as to each affected Asset, Seller shall at its election either collect (and when collected pay over to Purchaser) or assign to Purchaser any and all insurance claims to the extent and only to the extent covering such damage, and Purchaser shall take title to the affected Asset without reduction in the Purchase Price and Purchaser will be allowed a Price Adjustment for any uncompensated Casualty Loss not to exceed the allocated value of the affected Asset.

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that they have read this Agreement, have had the opportunity to review it with an attorney of their respective choice, and have agreed to all its terms. Under these circumstances, Purchaser and Seller agree that the rule of construction that a contract be construed against the drafter shall not be applied in interpreting this Agreement and that in the event of any ambiguity in any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, including any exhibits hereto and whether or not placed of record, such ambiguity shall not be construed for or against any party hereto on the basis that such party did or did not author the same.

13.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. SELLER AND PURCHASER DO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other with regard to all publicity and other releases and disclosures to be made prior to, at or within ninety (90) days after Closing concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which are not otherwise expressly permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement, and, except as required by applicable law or the applicable rules or regulations of any governmental body or stock exchange, neither party shall make any disclosure or issue any publicity or other release without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

13.17 Accounting.

(a) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on or before the fourth Business Day prior to Closing the Preliminary Settlement Statement setting forth any adjustments to the Purchase Price provided for in or required by this Agreement including, without limitation, items such as the Purchase Price, Deposit, expenses, prepaid items, revenue received, Property Taxes, excise and energy taxes, copying and recording fees, to the

49


extent such information is available or estimated by Seller on or before Closing. The Preliminary Settlement Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and with standard industry and accounting practices. In connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Settlement Statement, the Purchase Price shall be (1) increased by (a) the costs and expenses that are attributable to the Assets for the period from the Effective Time to the Closing Date that are paid by Seller (including, but not limited to, Seller's internal cost for administrative overhead for each well operated by Seller at the rate of $800.00 per well per month for wells not otherwise subject to an applicable COPAS overhead rate under an operating agreement and an amount equal to the applicable COPAS overhead rate less any non-operator billed overhead amounts that have actually been received by Seller for wells subject to an applicable COPAS under an operating agreement), and (b) other amounts due Seller and contemplated hereby, and (2) reduced by (a) proceeds received by Seller for hydrocarbons attributable to the Subject Properties produced after the Effective Time, and (b) other amounts due Purchaser and contemplated hereby.

(b) Within 120 days after the Closing, Seller shall prepare, in accordance with this Agreement and with standard industry and accounting practices, and deliver to Purchaser, a final accounting statement showing the proration calculation of credits and payment obligations of Purchaser and Seller hereunder. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to be made to such statement. The Parties shall use their best efforts to reach agreement (the "Final Accounting") on the final accounting statement on or before the fifteenth (15) Business Day after Purchaser’s receipt of the final accounting statement (such date the "Final Accounting Date", whether or not Seller and Purchaser have agreed on the Final Accounting).

(c) Purchaser shall not have any separate rights to receive production or income, proceeds, receipts and credits with respect to which an adjustment has been made. Except as otherwise provided or addressed or adjusted for in this Agreement, any revenues received or costs and expenses paid by Purchaser after the Final Accounting Date which are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Assets before the Effective Time shall be billed or reimbursed to Seller, as appropriate. Except as otherwise provided or addressed or adjusted for in this Agreement, any revenues received or costs and expenses paid by Seller after the Final Accounting Date which are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Assets after the Effective Time, and not expressly reserved by Seller, shall be billed or reimbursed to Purchaser, as appropriate.

13.18 Operatorship. Seller does not represent to Purchaser that Purchaser will automatically succeed to the operatorship of any given Subject Property as to which Seller is currently the operator. Purchaser recognizes and agrees that Purchaser will be required to comply with applicable operating agreements, unit operating agreements or other similar contracts relating to any elections or other selection procedures in order to succeed Seller as operator.

50


13.19 Seller's Employees. Purchaser will interview and evaluate in accordance with its normal employment procedures those full time operating personnel employed by Seller in connection with the Subject Properties and identified by Seller in a document received by Purchaser as soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement but in no event later than August 5, 2005. Purchaser will offer employment to those Persons for whom Purchaser in its sole discretion determines a need at such appropriate salaries as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion. Prior to notification by Seller, Purchaser shall not interview any of Seller’s personnel.

13.20 Time of Performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

13.21 No Partnership Created. It is not the purpose or intention of this Agreement to create (and it shall not be construed as creating) a joint venture, partnership or any type of association, and the Parties are not authorized to act as agent or principal for each other with respect to any matter related hereto.

13.22 Express Negligence Rule; Conspicuousness. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT ARE SET OUT IN ITALICS, IN BOLD, UNDERLINE OR CAPITALS, OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF, SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE AND/OR ARE CONSPICUOUS.

13.23. Arbitration. Prior to Closing or termination of this Agreement and unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, Seller may initiate arbitration for any and all disputes arising pertaining to Defects or purported Defects under the terms of this Agreement (“Arbitrable Dispute.”) Such arbitration shall be referred to and resolved through the use of binding arbitration using one (1) arbitrator, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code). If there is any inconsistency between this Section 13.23 and any statute or rule, the terms of this Section 13.23 shall control the rights and obligations of the parties. Arbitration shall be initiated within the applicable time limits set forth in this Agreement and not thereafter. It is the intent of the parties that, to the extent practicable, there not be multiple arbitrations and that arbitration shall not delay Closing. If an arbitration is pending on or before the Closing Date, Seller at its sole election may require the occurrence of Closing, subject to post Closing adjustments pursuant to Section 13.17(b) resulting from said arbitration. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if any Defect(s) is referred to arbitration under this Agreement, and the asserted or unresolved value of the Defect(s) would not permit either party to terminate this Agreement under Sections 10.1(d) or (e) or Section 3.11 hereof, or the Agreement has not been so terminated, then the parties shall proceed to Closing, the affected Subject Properties shall be conveyed to Purchaser, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the said asserted unresolved value of Defects (not to exceed the allocated value for the affected Subject Properties) from the Notice of Defects to be arbitrated minus the greater of $0.00 or the amount remaining by subtracting from the Threshold (5% of the Purchase Price) the amount agreed by Seller and Purchaser to be the Defect values for Defects not to be arbitrated and previously netted

51


against the Threshold (the “Withheld Payment”). The Withheld Payment shall be placed in a mutually acceptable escrow account. The Withheld Payment shall be paid as follows:

(i) If the arbitrator decides that any Defect asserted by the Purchaser is not a Defect, then the Withheld Payment with respect to the asserted Defect value shall be paid to the Seller.

(ii) If the arbitrator decides that any one or more of the Defects asserted by the Purchaser is in fact a Defect, then the amount of said Defect value (not to exceed the Allocated Value) as determined by the Arbitrator shall be deducted from the Withheld Payment, and shall be distributed to the Purchaser, and the remainder, if any, shall be distributed to the Seller. The total amount awarded to Purchaser may not exceed the Withheld Payment.

Arbitration shall be initiated by Seller (“Claimant”) serving written notice on the Purchaser (“Respondent”) that the Claimant elects to refer the Arbitrable Dispute to binding arbitration, and that the Claimant has listed three (3) persons, ranked in order of preference, any of whom Claimant accepts as the arbitrator. The Respondent shall respond to the Claimant within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Claimant’s notice, identifying the arbitrator it prefers from Claimant’s list or its list of three (3) potential arbitrators, ranked in order of preference, acceptable to Respondent. The proposed arbitrators of Claimant and Respondent must be nominated in good faith and have not less than ten (10) years recent experience as an oil and gas lawyer if the matter primarily pertains to title or an environmental engineer or lawyer with at least ten (10) years recent oil and gas experience serving oil and gas companies if the matter pertains primarily to environmental matters. The proposed arbitrators must have formal education in the area of dispute. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of Respondent’s notice, the Claimant and Respondent shall meet and rank the proposed arbitrators. The Respondent and Claimant shall then jointly meet or call the proposed arbitrator highest on the rank list to determine if the said arbitrator is available and interested in serving as the arbitrator. If so, said arbitrator shall be selected. If not, the Claimant and Respondent shall proceed down the list until an arbitrator is selected. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of the compensation and expenses of the arbitrator who ultimately is selected. All proposed arbitrators must be neutral parties, with no financial stake or interest in the arbitration outcome, who, for the period of five (5) years prior to the Execution Date have not been officers, directors, contractors or employees of the parties or any of their Affiliates. The hearing shall be commenced within ten (10) days after the selection of the arbitrator. The hearing shall occur in Dallas, Texas, or such other locale as is mutually agreed by the parties. The parties and the arbitrator shall proceed diligently and in good faith in order that the decision shall be made as promptly as possible. The arbitrator’s decision must be limited to select and adopt either the Claimant’s position or Respondent’s position on an individual Defect basis. In fulfilling the obligations of the arbitration hereunder the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on and non-appealable by the parties. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to grant or award indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages. Seller and Purchaser shall bear their own costs incurred in presenting their respective cases

52


13.24 Transfer Fees. Purchaser shall pay any fees or other payments required by a third party in order to transfer the Assets.

13.25 Filing and Recording. Purchaser will file or record the various originals of the Assignment and Bill of Sale and other conveyancing documents promptly after Closing at Purchaser's sole cost. If Purchaser fails to promptly record such documents then Seller may, without obligation, record such documents. Purchaser will reimburse Seller for the costs of filing, recording, and other reasonable fees actually incurred by Seller if Seller records or files said documents, such costs or fees to be used in the Final Accounting Settlement. The recording Party will provide either the original or photocopies of the recorded documents, including the recording data, to the non-recording Party promptly.

13.26 Removal of Signs. Seller may either remove its name and signs from the Seller-operated Assets and Property or require Purchaser to do so for those Assets that it will operate. If Seller’s name or signs remain on the Property or Assets after Seller ceases to be operator and Purchaser has become operator, Purchaser must (a) remove any remaining signs and references to Seller promptly, but no later than the time required by applicable regulations or forty-five days after Seller ceases to be operator, whichever occurs first, (b) install signs complying with applicable governmental regulations, including signs showing Purchaser as operator of the Assets it operates, and (c) notify Seller of the removal and installation. Seller reserves a right of access, but not the obligation, to the Assets and Property after it ceases to be operator to remove its signs and name from all Wells, facilities and Property, or to confirm that Purchaser has done so for the Assets operated by Purchaser. If Seller removes signs because Purchaser has not done so, Seller will charge its costs to Purchaser, and Purchaser will pay the invoice within fifteen days of receipt.

13.27 References. In this Agreement, except as expressly provided to the contrary,

(a) References to the singular includes the plural, and vice versa;

(b) References to any Article or Section means an Article or Section of this Agreement;

(c) Reference to any Exhibit or Schedule means an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, all of which are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement;

(d) “Hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, and words of similar import are references to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular Section or other provision of this Agreement; and

(e) “Include” and “including” shall mean include and including without limiting the generality of the description proceeding such term.

53


13.28 Waiver of Louisiana Rights in Redhibition. THE PURCHASER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR INTENDED PURPOSES OR GUARANTEE AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT REDHIBITORY VICES UNDER LOUISIANA LAW, INCLUDING LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE ARTICLES 2520 (1870) THROUGH 2548 (1870), AND THE WARRANTY IMPOSED BY LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE ARTICLE 2476; WAIVES ALL RIGHTS IN REDHIBITION PURSUANT TO LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE ARTICLE 2520, ET SEQ., ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS EXPRESS WAIVER SHALL BE CONSIDERED A MATERIAL AND INTREGAL PART OF THIS SALE AND THE CONSIDERATION THEREOF; AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PURCHASER AND EXPLAINED IN DETAIL AND THAT PURCHASER HAS VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY CONSENTED TO THIS WAIVER OF WARRANTY OF FITNESS AND/OR WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY VICES AND DEFECTS FOR THE ASSETS, TO THE EXTENT THE ASSETS ARE LOCATED IN LOUISIANA.

13.29 Plugging and Abandonment Commitment. As additional consideration for the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to either plug and abandon a minimum of *** wells situated on the Assets per year or spend a minimum of *** dollars annually on plugging and abandonment expenses pertaining to the Assets commencing in 2006. Purchaser shall provide reasonable access to the Assets and Purchaser’s books and records during normal business hours so that Seller may audit and confirm Purchaser’s performance of this commitment. If Purchaser fails to meet the commitment as set forth herein, Seller may, in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity or under this Agreement, at its sole election exercised from time to time, require Purchaser to place the difference between the actual cost of plugging and abandonment work completed annually and *** dollars into a plugging and abandonment trust under terms and administration acceptable to Seller. This commitment shall run with the land and be binding on Purchaser’s successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, any such expenditures made by Purchaser in a given year in excess of *** dollars may be applied to its minimum *** dollar expenditure requirement for any subsequent year.

This Guaranty (this “Guaranty”), dated July __, 2005, effective as of April 1, 2005, is made by TETRA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), for the benefit of Maritech Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and for the benefit of “Counterparty”(as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, the Company, which is a subsidiary corporation of Guarantor, has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”) dated July __, 2005, to be effective April 1, 2005, with Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (the “Counterparty”), and the Agreement requires the Company and Guarantor to perform obligations as specified in the Agreement, including, but not limited to plugging and abandonment operations, indemnification by Company and Guarantor of Counterparty and others (as specified in the Agreement), insurance to be provided by Company and Guarantor, and other obligations, all as specified in the Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration for Counterparty’s agreement to forego having Company provide performance bonds as a guaranty for Company’s performing its obligations under the Agreement, the Guarantor is providing this Guaranty, for the benefit of Counterparty, at the request of Company, to fully guarantee Company’s and Guarantor’s performance of all of its obligations under the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as an inducement for, the Counterparty entering into the Agreement, the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

1. Guaranty. The Guarantor, as a primary obligor, along with Company, and not merely surety, hereby unconditionally and absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to the Counterparty the prompt performance, when due, of any and all obligations of whatsoever nature of Company and/or of Guarantor, specified in the Agreement (the “Obligations”), including without limiting the forgoing in any respect, the plugging and abandonment, site restoration, indemnification, insurance and defense obligations, and including any and all damages which may become due to Counterparty caused by failure of performance or payment by either Company or Guarantor under the Agreement or under the Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees that its obligation to Counterparty is as a primary obligor, along with Company, and includes the obligation to fully compensate Counterparty for all damages, of whatsoever nature, incurred by Counterparty, its successors and assigns, because of the failure of either Guarantor or Company to fully perform all of their Obligations under the Agreement, or the failure of Guarantor to perform the

1


obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor agrees to perform the Obligations as they become due under the Agreement at any time, and from time to time, as requested by Counterparty.

2. Nature of Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of: (i) whether or not any legal action has been commenced by Counterparty against the Company, or against Guarantor, to enforce the Agreement; (ii) whether or not any judgment has been entered against Company or Guarantor, and whether or not any action is taken by Counterparty to enforce a judgment; (iii) whether or not Counterparty has failed to take any steps necessary to preserve its rights; (iv) the waiver of all or any obligations of either Company, or Guarantor, by the Counterparty; (v) any failure by the Counterparty to demand performance of the Obligations by Company or by Guarantor; (vi) whether there is any subsequent amendment of the Agreement, or any modification or amendment of any documentation relating to the Agreement, or any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, or waiver, by Counterparty of any Obligations under the Agreement or any amendments thereof; (vii) any acts or failures to act by Company. In the event that any payment of Guarantor in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or recovered from Counterparty as a preference or fraudulent transfer under the United States federal bankruptcy code, laws or regulations, or any applicable state law, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder in respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective if Company merges or consolidates with or into another entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to exist.

3. Waivers. The Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Counterparty, or any other notice whatsoever; (ii) notice of any Obligations to which this Guaranty may apply or of any security therefor; (iii) diligence; presentment; demand for payment, and protest; (iv) notice of protest, acceleration, and dishonor; (v) filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, or any similar incapacity of the Company; (vi) all demands whatsoever; and (vi) any right to require a lawsuit or proceeding first against the Company.

4. Unconditional Guaranty. This Guaranty is intended to be and shall be construed to be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty, and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations under the Agreement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, are fully performed.

5. Notices. All notices and other communications relating to this Guaranty must be in writing, may be given by facsimile, hand delivery or overnight courier service and must be addressed or directed to the respective parties as follows:

The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, and has full power and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the Obligations of the Agreement and of this Guaranty;

The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by the Guarantor have been, remain, and will remain duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, and do not violate any laws or any existing agreements to which Guarantor is subject;

All consents, authorizations, approvals, registrations and declarations required for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained from or, as the case may be, filed with, the relevant governmental authorities having jurisdiction and shall remain in full force and effect, and all conditions thereof have been and will be duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority having jurisdiction is required for execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty; and

This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights or by general principles of equity as such apply to the Guarantor.

7. Setoffs and Counterclaims. Guarantor reserves to itself all rights, setoffs, counterclaims and other defenses to which the Company is or may be entitled under the Agreement; except Guarantor agrees that it shall not assert, and shall not be entitle to assert: (i)

3


defenses arising out of bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation, or reorganization of the Company, or any matters of a similar nature, or any proceedings affecting either Company or its assets or resulting in any release or discharge of any Obligations; and (ii) defenses based upon any invalidity in whole or in part, whether because of statute or otherwise, of any provisions of the Agreement. The defenses specified in 7(i) and (ii) are hereby irrevocably waived by Guarantor.

8. Subrogation. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights against Company that it may acquire by way of subrogation until all Obligations of Company and Guarantor under the Agreement and this Guaranty to Counterparty shall have been fully performed. Subject to the foregoing, upon performance of all of the Obligations to Counterparty, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Counterparty against the Company, and the Counterparty agrees, at that time, to take, at the Guarantor’s sole expense, the steps that Guarantor may reasonably request to implement this subrogation.

9. Expenses. Guarantor hereby agrees to pay on demand all damages caused by a failure of either Company or Guarantor to perform the Obligations of Company and of Guarantor under the Agreement, and under this Guaranty, as well as all court and administrative costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees paid by Counterparty in enforcing its rights against Company and Guarantor under the Agreement and under this Guaranty; provided, that Guarantor shall not be liable for damages to and expenses of the Counterparty, if neither Guarantor nor Company are in default of any of Company’s and Guarantor’s Obligations under the Agreement, and if Guarantor is, also, not in default of any of its obligations under this Guaranty.

10. Assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and upon its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Counterparty and its successors and assigns, and shall be effective immediately upon the signature of Guarantor. The Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty or delegate its duties hereunder, unless Guarantor has received the prior express written consent of Counterparty, which shall not be unreasonably withheld if the proposed assignee thereof has the financial strength and capacity to fulfill the requirements of this Guaranty equal to or greater than Guarantor.

11. Amendments. No term or provision of this Guaranty shall be amended, modified, altered, waived, or supplemented except in a writing signed by Guarantor and Counterparty.

12. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Texas, without reference to conflict of laws principles, and all provisions hereof shall be construed to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Except as specified in the Agreement, this Guaranty is the entire and only agreement between the Guarantor and the Counterparty with respect to the guarantee of the Obligations to the Counterparty arising out of the Agreement. All representations, warranties, agreements, or undertakings heretofore or contemporaneously made, which are not set forth herein or in the Agreement are superseded hereby.

4

Seller shall also make available to Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, Seller’s personnel knowledgeable with respect to the Assets in order that Buyer may make such diligence investigation as Buyer considers necessary or appropriate. All investigations and due diligence conducted by Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative shall be conducted at Buyer’s sole cost, risk and expense and any conclusions made from any examination done by Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative shall result from Buyer’s own independent review and judgment.

In the event that Buyer’s Phase I environmental property assessments identify actual or potential “recognized environmental concerns”, then Buyer may request Seller’s permission to conduct additional Phase II environmental property assessments. The additional Phase II environmental property assessment procedures relating to any additional investigation shall be submitted to Seller in a Phase II environmental property assessment plan. Thereafter, Seller may, in its sole discretion, approve said Phase II environmental property assessment plan, in whole or in part and Buyer shall not have the right to conduct any activities set forth in such plan until such time that Seller has approved such plan in writing. Any such approved Phase II environmental property assessment plan shall be performed in accordance with this Article 11.1 and in compliance with all Laws.

(c) Buyer shall coordinate its environmental property assessments and physical inspections of the Assets with Seller to minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of business by Seller. Buyer shall abide by Seller’s, and any Third Party operator’s safety rules, regulations, and operating policies while conducting its due diligence evaluation of the Assets including any environmental or other inspection or assessment of the Assets. Buyer hereby defends, indemnifies and holds harmless each of the operators of the Assets and Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of, resulting from or relating to any field visit, environmental property assessment, or other due

28


diligence activity conducted by Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative with respect to the Assets, EVEN IF SUCH LIABILITIES ARISE OUT OF OR RESULT FROM, SOLELY OR IN PART, THE SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY A MEMBER OF SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, EXCEPTING ONLY LIABILITIES ACTUALLY RESULTING ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A MEMBER OF SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(d) Buyer agrees to promptly provide Seller, but in no less than five (5) days after receipt or creation, copies of all final reports and test results, prepared by Buyer and/or any of Buyer’s Representatives and which contain data collected or generated from Buyer’s due diligence with respect to the Assets. Seller shall not be deemed by its receipt of said documents or otherwise to have made representation or warranty, expressed, implied or statutory, as to the condition to the Assets or to the accuracy of said documents or the information contained therein.

(e) Upon completion of Buyer’s due diligence, Buyer shall at its sole cost and expense and without any cost or expense to Seller or its Affiliates, (i) close all bore holes from its Phase I environmental property assessment and any approved work with respect to a Phase II environmental property assessment in accordance with recognized industry standards, (ii) repair all damage done to the Assets in connection with Buyer’s due diligence, (iii) restore the Assets to the approximate same or better condition than it was prior to commencement of Buyer’s due diligence and (iv) remove all equipment, tools or other property brought onto the Assets in connection with Buyer’s due diligence. Any disturbance to the Assets (including, without limitation, the real property associated with such Assets) resulting from Buyer’s due diligence will be promptly corrected by Buyer.

(f) During all periods that Buyer, and/or any of Buyer’s Representatives are on the Assets, Buyer shall maintain, at its sole expense and with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Seller, policies of insurance of the types and in the amounts reasonably requested by Seller. Coverage under all insurance required to be carried by Buyer hereunder will (i) be primary insurance, (ii) list Seller Indemnified Parties as additional insureds, (iii) waive subrogation against Seller Indemnified Parties and (iv) provide for five (5) days prior notice to Seller in the event of cancellation or modification of the policy or reduction in coverage. Upon request by Seller, Buyer shall provide evidence of such insurance to Seller prior to entering the Assets.

11.2 Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that, pursuant to its right of access to the Records or the Assets, Buyer will become privy to confidential and other information of Seller and that such confidential information shall be held confidential by Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. If the Closing should occur, the foregoing confidentiality restriction on Buyer, including the Confidentiality Agreement, shall terminate (except as to (i) such portion of the Assets that are not conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) the Excluded Assets).

ARTICLE XII

TITLE MATTERS; CASUALTIES; TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

12.1 Seller’s Title.

(a) General Disclaimer of Title Warranties and Representations. Except for the special warranty of title as set forth in Article 12.1(b) and without limiting Buyer’s remedies for Title Defects set forth in this Article XII, Seller makes no warranty or representation, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to Seller’s title to any of the Assets and Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s sole remedy for any defect of title, including any Title Defect, with respect to any of the Assets (i) before Closing, shall be as set forth in Article 12.2 and (ii) after Closing, shall be pursuant to the special warranty of title set forth in Article 12.1(b).

(b) Special Warranty of Title. If the Closing occurs, then effective as of the Closing Date, Seller warrants Defensible Title to the Wells (or the specified zone(s) therein) shown in Exhibit A and, to the other Assets unto Buyer against every Person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by, through or under Seller or its Affiliates, but not otherwise, subject, however, to the Permitted Encumbrances and to any

31


matters of record prior to the Title Claim Date; provided, however, that, except with respect to any liability of Seller for any claim asserted in writing by Buyer to Seller in accordance with Article 12.1(c) on or before the expiration of the Survival Period for breach of such special warranty, such special warranty shall cease and terminate at the end of such Survival Period. No warranty of title shall be contained in the Assignment. Said special warranty of title shall be subject to the further limitations and provisions of this Article XII.

(c) Recovery on Special Warranty.

(i) Buyer’s Assertion of Title Warranty Breaches. Prior to the expiration of the two-year period commencing as of the Closing Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary thereof (the “Survival Period”), Buyer shall furnish Seller a Title Defect Notice meeting the requirements of Article 12.2(a) setting forth any matters which Buyer intends to assert as a breach of Seller’s special warranty in Article 12.1(b). For all purposes of this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no further liability for, any breach of Seller’s special warranty that Buyer fails to assert by a Title Defect Notice given to Seller on or before the expiration of the Survival Period. Seller shall have a reasonable opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure any Title Defect asserted by Buyer pursuant to this Article 12.1(c)(i). Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with any attempt by Seller to cure any such Title Defect.

(ii) Limitations on Special Warranty. For purposes of Seller’s special warranty of title, the value of the Wells (or the specified zone(s) therein) shown in Exhibit A and the other Assets shall be deemed to be the Allocated Value thereof, as adjusted herein. Recovery on Seller’s special warranty of title shall be limited to an amount (without any interest accruing thereon) equal to the reduction in the Purchase Price to which Buyer would have been entitled had Buyer asserted the Title Defect giving rise to such breach of Seller’s special warranty of title as a Title Defect prior to Closing pursuant to Article 12.2, in each case taking into account the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible. Seller shall be entitled to offset any amount owed by Seller for breach of its special warranty of title with respect to any Asset by the amount of any Title Benefits with respect to such Asset as to which Seller gives Buyer notice after the Title Claim Date.

12.2 Notice of Title Defects; Defect Adjustments.

(a) Title Defect Notices. On or before August 23, 2005 (the “Title Claim Date”), Buyer must deliver claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Article 12.2(a) (collectively the “Title Defect Notices” and individually a “Title Defect Notice”) setting forth any matters which, in Buyer’s reasonable opinion, constitute Title Defects and which Buyer intends to assert as a Title Defect pursuant to this Article XII. For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived, and Seller shall have no liability for, any Title Defect which Buyer fails to assert as a Title Defect by a Title Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Title Claim Date; provided, however, that, for purposes of Seller’s special warranty to title under Article 12.1(b), such waiver shall not apply to any matter that prior to the Title Claim Date is neither reflected of record nor discovered by any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees or any title attorney, landman or other title examiner while conducting Buyer’s due diligence with respect to the

32


Assets. To be effective, each Title Defect Notice shall be in writing, and shall include (i) a description of the alleged Title Defect(s), (ii) the Wells (and the applicable zone(s) therein) and/or other Assets affected by the Title Defect (each a “Title Defect Property”), (iii) the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property, (iv) supporting documents reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Title Defect(s), and (v) the amount by which Buyer reasonably believes the Allocated Value of each Title Defect Property is reduced by the alleged Title Defect(s) and the computations upon which Buyer’s belief is based. To give Seller an opportunity to commence reviewing and curing Title Defects, Buyer agrees to use reasonable efforts to give Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Title Claim Date, written notice of all Title Defects discovered by Buyer during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Title Claim Date. Buyer shall also promptly furnish Seller with written notice of any Title Benefit which is discovered by any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, title attorneys, landmen or other title examiners while conducting Buyer’s due diligence with respect to the Assets prior to the Title Claim Date.

(b) Title Benefit Notices. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Buyer on or before the Title Claim Date with respect to each Title Benefit a notice (a “Title Benefit Notice”) including (i) a description of the Title Benefit, (ii) the Wells (and the applicable zone(s) therein) affected by the Title Benefit, and (iii) the amount by which Seller reasonably believes the Allocated Value of those Wells (and the applicable zone(s) therein) is increased by the Title Benefit, and the computations upon which Seller’s belief is based. Except for purposes of defending against or paying any claim that Seller has breached its special warranty of title under Article 12.1(c)(ii), Seller shall be deemed to have waived all Title Benefits of which it has not given notice on or before the Title Claim Date.

(c) Seller’s Right to Cure. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt, at its sole cost, to cure at any time prior to Closing (the “Cure Period”), any Title Defects of which it has been advised by Buyer.

(d) Remedies for Title Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Title Defect and/or the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto and subject to the rights of the parties pursuant to Article 15.1(d), in the event that any Title Defect timely asserted by Buyer in accordance with Article 12.2(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured on or before Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to:

(i) subject to the Individual Title Defect Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, reduce the Purchase Price by an amount (“Title Defect Amount”) determined pursuant to Article 12.2(g) or 12.2(j) as being the value of such Title Defect;

(ii) indemnify Buyer against all Liability resulting from such Title Defect pursuant to an indemnity agreement (the “Title Indemnity Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;

(iii) retain the entirety of the Title Defect Property that is subject to such Title Defect, together with all associated Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be

33


reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property and such associated Assets; or

(iv) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 15.1(d).

(e) Remedies for Title Benefits. With respect to each Well (or specified zone(s) therein) affected by Title Benefits reported under Article 12.2(b), the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount (the “Title Benefit Amount”) equal to the increase in the Allocated Value for such Well caused by such Title Benefits, as determined pursuant to Article 12.2(h).

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for Seller’s special warranty of title under Article 12.1(b), Article 12.2(d) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to Seller’s failure to have Defensible Title with respect to any Asset.

(g) Title Defect Amount. The Title Defect Amount resulting from a Title Defect shall be the amount by which the Allocated Value of the affected Title Defect Property is reduced as a result of the existence of such Title Defect and shall be determined in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

(i) if Buyer and Seller agree on the Title Defect Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount;

(ii) if the Title Defect is an Encumbrance that is undisputed and liquidated in amount, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Title Defect from the Title Defect Property;

(iii) if the Title Defect represents a discrepancy between (A) the Net Revenue Interest for any Title Defect Property and (B) the Net Revenue Interest stated in Exhibit A, then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value of such Title Defect Property multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Revenue Interest decrease and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated in Exhibit A; provided, however, if there is a discrepancy between (A) and (B) as to a Title Defect Property, and Seller is, pursuant to this Agreement, reserving an overriding royalty interest in that Title Defect Property, then to the extent all or a portion of that reserved overriding royalty interest, if transferred to Buyer could: (a) diminish that discrepancy, then that portion of the overriding royalty interest that could diminish the discrepancy will be assigned to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and the combined Net Revenue Interest and the overriding royalty interest to be assigned shall be combined and shall be “(A),” the numerator for the fraction; or (b) cause there to be no discrepancy, then that portion of the overriding royalty interest which would cause there to be no discrepancy will be assigned to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and there shall be no Title Defect.

(iv) if the Title Defect represents an obligation or Encumbrance upon or other defect in title to the Title Defect Property of a type not described above, the Title Defect Amount shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property, the portion of the Title Defect Property affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the Title Defect

34


Property, the values placed upon the Title Defect by Buyer and Seller and such other reasonable factors as are necessary to make a proper evaluation; provided, however, that if such Title Defect is reasonably capable of being cured, the Title Defect Amount shall not be greater than the reasonable cost and expense of curing such Title Defect;

(v) If (A) a Title Defect Property is not a Well (or specified zone(s) therein), (B) such Title Defect Property does not have an Allocated Value, (C) the Title Defect with respect to such Title Defect Property causes a loss of title to such Title Defect Property, and (D) the loss of such title to such Title Defect Property will prevent the continued operation or production of a Well (or one or more specified zone(s) therein) shown in Exhibit A (such Well or the specified zone(s) therein being referred to as the “Affected Well”) and the other Assets are not capable of providing an alternative means to support, in all material respects, the continued operation or production of the Affected Well, then such Title Defect Property (a “Defective Support Property”) and such Affected Well shall collectively be considered a single Title Defect Property for purposes of this Article XII; provided, however, that the Title Defect Amount resulting from the Title Defect affecting such Defective Support Property shall be the lesser of (1) the reasonable cost to replace such Defective Support Property (not to exceed the current fair market value of such Defective Support Property in its current depreciated condition), if such Defective Support Property is reasonably capable of being replaced, (2) the reasonable cost of providing an alternative means to support in all material respects the continued operation or production of the Affected Well, or (3) the Title Defect Amount that would otherwise be applicable to such Title Defect under this Article XII.

(vi) the Title Defect Amount with respect to a Title Defect Property shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Amount hereunder; and

(vii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XII, the aggregate Title Defect Amounts attributable to the effects of all Title Defects upon any Title Defect Property shall not exceed the Allocated Value of the Title Defect Property.

(h) Title Benefit Amount. The Title Benefit Amount resulting from a Title Benefit shall be determined in accordance with the following methodology, terms and conditions:

(i) if Buyer and Seller agree on the Title Benefit Amount, then that amount shall be the Title Benefit Amount; and

(ii) if the Title Benefit represents a discrepancy between (A) the Net Revenue Interest for any Well (or the specified zone(s) therein) and (B) the Net Revenue Interest stated in Exhibit A, then the Title Benefit Amount shall be the product of the Allocated Value of the affected Well (or the specified zone(s) therein) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Revenue Interest increase and the denominator of which is the Net Revenue Interest stated in Exhibit A.

(i) Title Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller

35


for any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) (“Individual Title Defect Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Title Defect that exceeds the Individual Title Defect Threshold unless (A) the sum of (1) the Title Defect Amounts of all such Title Defects that exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold, in the aggregate, excluding any Title Defects cured by Seller, plus (2) the Remediation Amounts of all Environmental Defects, in the aggregate, excluding any individual Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold and any Environmental Defects cured by Seller, (B) exceeds the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies only with respect to such Title Defects in excess of such Aggregate Deductible.

(j) Title Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree on all Title Defects, Title Benefits, Title Defect Amounts and Title Benefit Amounts prior to Closing. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree by Closing, the Title Defect Amounts and Title Benefit Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved pursuant to this Article 12.1(j). There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be a title attorney with at least ten (10) years experience in oil and gas titles involving properties in the regional area in which the Title Defect Properties are located, as selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Cure Period, and absent such agreement, by the Houston office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Title Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Article. The Title Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon both parties, without right of appeal. In making his determination, the Title Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in Articles 12.2(g) and 12.2(h) and, subject to the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Title Arbitrator are necessary to make a proper determination. The Title Arbitrator, however, may not award the Buyer a greater Title Defect Amount than the Title Defect Amount claimed by Buyer in its applicable Title Defect Notice and may not award Seller a greater Title Benefit Amount than the Title Benefit Amount claimed by Seller in its applicable Title Benefit Notice. The Title Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Title Defect, Title Benefit, Title Defect Amounts and/or Title Benefit Amounts submitted by either party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party with respect to any matter. Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Each of Seller and Buyer shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Title Arbitrator. To the extent that the award of the Title Arbitrator with respect to any Title Defect Amount or Title Benefit Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 3.5 or Article 3.6, then within ten (10) days after the Title Arbitrator delivers written notice to Buyer and Seller of his award with respect to a Title Defect Amount or a Title Benefit Amount, (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, so awarded by the Title Arbitrator to Seller and (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, so awarded by the Title Arbitrator to Buyer.

12.3 Casualty or Condemnation Loss.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the Effective Time, Buyer shall assume all risk of loss with respect to production of Hydrocarbons through normal depletion (including watering out of any well, collapsed casing or sand infiltration of any well) and the depreciation of personal property due to ordinary wear and tear, in each case, with respect to the Assets.

(b) If, after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the Assets is destroyed by fire or other casualty or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain, and the loss as a result of such individual casualty or taking exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price based on the Allocated Value of the affected Assets, Buyer shall nevertheless be required to close and Seller shall elect by written notice to Buyer prior to Closing either (i) to cause the Assets affected by such casualty or taking to be repaired or restored to at least its condition prior to such casualty or taking, at Seller’s sole cost, as promptly as reasonably practicable (which work may extend after the Closing Date), (ii) to indemnify Buyer through a document reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer against any costs or expenses that Buyer reasonably incurs to repair the Assets subject to such casualty or taking or (iii) to treat such casualty or taking as a Title Defect with respect to the affected Asset or Assets under Article 12.2. In each case, Seller shall retain all rights to insurance, condemnation awards and other claims against third parties with respect to the casualty or taking except to the extent the parties otherwise agree in writing.

(c) If, after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the Assets is destroyed by fire or other casualty or is taken in condemnation or under right of eminent domain, and the loss to the Assets as a result of such individual casualty or taking is twenty percent (20%) or less of the Purchase Price based on the Allocated Value of the affected Assets, Buyer shall nevertheless be required to close and Seller, at Closing, shall pay to Buyer all sums paid to Seller by Third Parties by reason of such casualty or taking insofar as with respect to the Assets and shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer or subrogate Buyer to all of Seller’s right, title and interest (if any) in insurance claims, unpaid awards, and other rights against Third Parties (excluding any Liabilities, other than insurance claims, of or against any Seller Indemnified Parties) arising out of such casualty or taking insofar as with respect to the Assets; provided, however, that Seller shall reserve and retain (and Buyer shall assign to Seller) all rights, title, interests and claims against Third Parties for the recovery of Seller’s costs and expenses incurred prior to the Closing in pursuing or asserting any such insurance claims or other rights against third parties or in defending or asserting rights in such condemnation or eminent domain action with respect to the Assets.

(d) If any action for condemnation or taking under right of eminent domain is pending or threatened with respect to any Asset or portion thereof after the date of this Agreement, but no taking of such Asset or portion thereof occurs prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall nevertheless be required to close and Seller, at Closing, shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer or subrogate Buyer to all of Seller’s right, title and interest (if any) in such condemnation or eminent domain action, including any future awards therein, insofar as they are attributable to the Assets threatened to be taken, except that Seller shall reserve and retain (and Buyer shall assign to Seller) all rights, titles, interests and claims against Third Parties for the recovery of Seller’s costs and expenses incurred prior to the Closing in defending or asserting rights in such action with respect to the Assets.

37


12.4 Preferential Purchase Rights and Consents to Assign. (a) With respect to each preferential purchase right pertaining to an Asset and the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller, prior to the Closing, shall send to the holder of each such right a notice, in material compliance with the contractual provisions applicable to such right. In addition, prior to the Closing, Seller shall send to each holder of a right to consent to assignment pertaining to the Assets and the transactions contemplated hereby a notice seeking such party’s consent to the transaction contemplated hereby.

(b) If, prior to the Closing, any holder of a preferential purchase right notifies Seller that it intends to consummate the purchase of the Asset to which its preferential purchase right applies, the exercise of such preferential purchase right shall not constitute a Title Defect, that Asset shall be excluded from the Assets to be conveyed to Buyer to the extent of the interest affected by the preferential purchase right, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of the relevant Asset allocable to such interest. Seller shall be entitled to all proceeds paid by a party exercising a preferential purchase right prior to the Closing. If such holder of such preferential purchase right thereafter fails to consummate the purchase of the Asset covered by such right on or before thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, then Seller shall so notify Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase on or before ten (10) days following receipt of such notice, subject to Buyer’s satisfaction that such preferential right has been waived, such Asset from Seller, under the terms of this Agreement for a price equal to the portion of the Purchase Price previously allocated to it.

(c) If a preferential purchase right burdening any Asset is not exercised prior to the Closing Date and the time for exercising such preferential purchase right has not expired prior to the Closing Date, then the Closing Date with respect to such Asset shall be extended to the earlier of five (5) business days from the date such preferential right is waived or the period to exercise such preferential right has expired. If such preferential purchase right is exercised, Seller shall, without any further obligation to Buyer relating to the affected Asset (except a reduction in the Purchase Price of the allocated value of the Asset), deliver the affected Asset to the holder of such preferential purchase right pursuant to an assignment in substantially the same form as the Assignment and shall retain the proceeds paid for such Asset by the party exercising the preferential purchase right.

(d) All Assets for which preferential purchase rights have been waived, or as to which the period to exercise such right has expired prior to the Closing, shall be sold to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) If Seller fails to obtain a consent prior to the Closing and the failure to obtain such consent would cause the assignment of such Asset to Buyer to be void, then the portion of the Asset subject to such failed consent shall not constitute a Title Defect, that Asset shall be excluded from the Assets to be conveyed to Buyer to the extent of the interest affected by failure to secure the consent, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of the relevant Asset allocable to that interest.

ARTICLE XIII

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

38


13.1 Environmental Defects.

(a) Assertions of Environmental Defects. Buyer must deliver claim notices to Seller meeting the requirements of this Article 13.1(a) (collectively the “Environmental Defect Notices” and individually an “Environmental Defect Notice”) not later than August 23, 2005 (the “Environmental Claim Date”), setting forth any matters which, in Buyer’s reasonable opinion, constitute Environmental Defects and which Buyer intends to assert as Environmental Defects pursuant to this Article 13.1. For all purposes of this Agreement but subject to Buyer’s remedy for a breach of Seller’s representation contained in Article 4.15, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any Environmental Defect which Buyer fails to assert as an Environmental Defect by a Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Environmental Claim Date. To be effective, each Environmental Defect Notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Defect, (ii) a description of each Asset (or portion thereof) that is affected by the alleged Environmental Defect, (iii) Buyer’s assertion of the Allocated Value of the portion of the Assets affected by the alleged Environmental Defect, (iv) supporting documents reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect, and (v) a calculation of the Remediation Amount (itemized in reasonable detail) that Buyer asserts is attributable to such alleged Environmental Defect. Buyer’s calculation of the Remediation Amount included in the Environmental Defect Notice must describe in reasonable detail the Remediation proposed for the Environmental Condition that gives rise to the asserted Environmental Defect and identify all assumptions used by the Buyer in calculating the Remediation Amount, including the standards that Buyer asserts must be met to comply with Environmental Laws. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any claimed Environmental Defect on or before Closing.

(b) Remedies for Environmental Defects. Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Environmental Defect and/or the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto, in the event that any Environmental Defect timely asserted by Buyer in accordance with Article 13.1(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured on or before Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to:

(i) subject to the Individual Environmental Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, reduce the Purchase Price by the Remediation Amount;

(ii) assume responsibility for the Remediation of such Environmental Defect;

(iii) retain the entirety of the Asset that is subject to such Environmental Defect, together with all associated Assets, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of such Asset and such associated Assets; or

(iv) if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 15.1(d).

If Seller elects the option set forth in clause (i) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have assumed responsibility for Remediation of such Environmental Defect and such Environmental Defect and all Liabilities with respect thereto shall be deemed to constitute Assumed Obligations. If

39


Seller elects the option set forth in clause (ii) above, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to implement such Remediation in a manner which is consistent with the requirements of Environmental Laws in a timely fashion for the type of Remediation that Seller elects to undertake and shall have access to the affected Assets after the Closing Date to implement and complete such Remediation in accordance with an Access Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Access Agreement”). Seller will be deemed to have adequately completed the Remediation required in the immediately preceding sentence (A) upon receipt of a certificate or approval from the applicable Governmental Authority that the Remediation has been implemented to the extent necessary to comply with existing regulatory requirements or (B) upon receipt of a certificate from a licensed professional engineer that the Remediation has been implemented to the extent necessary to comply with existing regulatory requirements.

(c) Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Article 15.1(d) and Buyer’s remedy for a breach of Seller’s representation contained in Article 4.15, Article 13.1(b) shall be the exclusive right and remedy of Buyer with respect to any Environmental Defect.

(d) Environmental Deductibles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any individual Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount does not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (“Individual Environmental Threshold”); and (ii) in no event shall there be any adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies provided by Seller for any Environmental Defect for which the Remediation Amount exceeds the Individual Environmental Threshold unless (A) the sum of (1) the Remediation Amounts of all such Environmental Defects that exceed the Individual Environmental Threshold, in the aggregate, excluding any Environmental Defects cured by Seller, plus (2) the Title Defect Amounts of all Title Defects, in the aggregate, excluding any individual Title Defect for which the Title Defect Amount does not exceed the Individual Title Defect Threshold and any Title Defects cured by Seller, (B) exceeds the Aggregate Deductible, after which point Buyer shall be entitled to adjustments to the Purchase Price or other remedies only with respect to such Environmental Defects in excess of such Aggregate Deductible.

(e) Environmental Dispute Resolution. Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree on all Environmental Defects and Remediation Amounts prior to Closing. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree by Closing, the Environmental Defects and/or Remediation Amounts in dispute shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Article 13.1. There shall be a single arbitrator, who shall be an environmental attorney with at least ten (10) years experience in environmental matters involving oil and gas producing properties in the regional area in which the affected Assets are located, as selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, and absent such agreement, by the Houston office of the American Arbitration Association (the “Environmental Arbitrator”). The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Houston, Texas and shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of this Article. The Environmental Arbitrator’s determination shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission of the matters in dispute and shall be final and binding upon both parties, without right of appeal. In making his determination, the Environmental Arbitrator shall be bound by the rules set forth in this Article 13.1 and, subject to

40


the foregoing, may consider such other matters as in the opinion of the Environmental Arbitrator are necessary or helpful to make a proper determination. The Environmental Arbitrator, however, may not award the Buyer a greater Remediation Amount than the Remediation Amount claimed by Buyer in its applicable Environmental Defect Notice. The Environmental Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific disputed Environmental Defects and/or Remediation Amounts submitted by either party and may not award damages, interest or penalties to either party with respect to any matter. Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own legal fees and other costs of presenting its case. Each of Seller and Buyer shall bear one-half of the costs and expenses of the Environmental Arbitrator. To the extent that the award of the Environmental Arbitrator with respect to any Remediation Amount is not taken into account as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 3.6, then within ten (10) days after the Environmental Arbitrator delivers written notice to Buyer and Seller of his award with respect to a Remediation Amount, and subject to Article 13.1, (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, so awarded by the Environmental Arbitrator to Seller and (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, so awarded by the Environmental Arbitrator to Buyer.

13.2 NORM, Wastes and Other Substances. Buyer acknowledges that the Assets have been used for exploration, development, and production of oil and gas and that there may be petroleum, produced water, wastes, or other substances or materials located in, on or under the Assets or associated with the Assets. Equipment and sites included in the Assets may contain asbestos, NORM or other Hazardous Substances. NORM may affix or attach itself to the inside of wells, materials, and equipment as scale, or in other forms. The wells, materials, and equipment located on the Assets or included in the Assets may contain NORM and other wastes or Hazardous Substances. NORM containing material and/or other wastes or Hazardous Substances may have come in contact with various environmental media, including without limitation, water, soils or sediment. Special procedures may be required for the assessment, remediation, removal, transportation, or disposal of environmental media, wastes, asbestos, NORM and other Hazardous Substances from the Assets.

14.7 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under Articles 11.1(c), 14.2 and 14.3 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) For purposes of this Article XIV, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the party or parties having an obligation to indemnify another party or parties with respect to such Liabilities pursuant to this Article XIV, and the term “Indemnified Party” when used in connection with particular Liabilities shall mean the party or parties having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Liabilities by another party or parties pursuant to this Article XIV.

(b) To make claim for indemnification under Articles 11.1(c), 14.2 or 14.3, an Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim under this Article 14.7, including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the Claim and shall enclose a copy

44


of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Article 14.7 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Articles 11.1(c), 14.2 or 14.3 (as applicable) except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against the claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was inaccurate or breached.

(c) In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party whether it admits or denies its liability to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party is authorized, prior to and during such thirty (30) day period, to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party admits its liability, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at its sole cost and expense, the Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate in contesting any Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 14.7(d). An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto which does not include an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim or (ii) settle any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto in any manner that may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity).

(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its liability or admits its liability but fails to diligently prosecute or settle the Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against the Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, with counsel of the Indemnified Party's choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its liability and assume the defense of the Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its liability for a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its liability for the Claim and (ii) if liability is so admitted, reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement.

(f) In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Liabilities complained of, (ii) admit its liability for such Liability or (iii) dispute the claim for such Liabilities. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within such 30 day period that it has cured the Liabilities or that it disputes the claim for such Liabilities, the

45


amount of such Liabilities shall conclusively be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

14.8 Survival. (a) The representations and warranties of the parties in Articles IV and V (other than the representations and warranties in Articles 4.7, 4.8(b), 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.18, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10 and 5.11) and the covenants and agreements of the parties in Articles 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 9.4, 11.1(a) and 11.1(b), shall survive the Closing for a period of ***.

The representation of Seller in Article 4.7 shall terminate as of Closing, subject to the following limited exception: if there is a death or personal injury that occurs before the Effective Time and a lawsuit is actually filed in an appropriate Court, having jurisdiction, within *** from the Closing Date, Seller will defend against that lawsuit, and indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from liabilities associated with the death or personal injury. The representation of Seller in Article 4.8(b) shall terminate at Closing, subject to the following limited exception: if there is a breach of the representation that occurs before the Effective Time and a lawsuit is actually filed in an appropriate Court, having jurisdiction, within *** from the Closing Date, Seller will defend against that lawsuit, and indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from liabilities associated with the breach. The representation of Seller in Article 4.11 shall terminate at Closing, subject to the following limited exception: if there is a breach of the representation and within *** from the Closing Date a lawsuit is actually filed by a non-governmental entity in an appropriate Court, having jurisdiction or a claim is actually made by a Governmental Authority, Seller will defend against that lawsuit, and indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from liabilities associated with the breach. The representation and warranty of Seller in Article 12.1 shall terminate as of the expiration of the Survival Period. Subject to the foregoing and as set forth in Article 14.8(b), the remainder of this Agreement (including, without limiting the foregoing in any respect, Articles 4.18, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and 6.5) shall survive the Closing without time limit. Representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be of no further force and effect after the date of their expiration, provided that there shall be no termination of any bona fide claim asserted pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement prior to its expiration date.

(b) The indemnities in Articles 14.2(a), 14.2(b), 14.3(a)(i) and 14.3(a)(ii) shall terminate as of the termination date of each respective representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is subject to indemnification, except in each case as to matters for which a specific written claim for indemnity has been delivered to the Indemnifying Party on or before such termination date. Buyer's indemnities in Articles 14.3(a)(iii), 14.3(a)(iv) and 14.3(b) shall survive the Closing without time limit and shall be deemed covenants running with the Assets (provided that Buyer and its successors and assigns shall not be released from any of, and shall remain jointly and severally liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for, the obligations or Liabilities of Buyer under such Articles of this Agreement upon any transfer or assignment of any Asset), and Seller's indemnity set forth in Article 14.2(c) shall survive the Closing without time limit.

14.9 Waiver of Right to Rescission. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the payment of money, as limited by the terms of this Agreement, shall be adequate compensation for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or for any other claim

46


arising in connection with or with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. As the payment of money shall be adequate compensation, Buyer and Seller waive any right to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

14.10 Insurance, Taxes. The amount of any Liabilities for which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or in connection with or with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall be reduced by any corresponding (i) tax benefit created or generated or (ii) insurance proceeds realized or that could reasonably be expected to be realized by such party if a claim were properly pursued under the relevant insurance arrangements.

14.11 Non-Compensatory Damages. None of the Buyer Indemnified Parties nor Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from Seller or Buyer, or their respective Affiliates, any indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or damages for lost profits of any kind arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent any such party suffers such damages (including costs of defense and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with defending of such damages) to a Third Party, which damages (including costs of defense and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with defending against such damages) shall not be excluded by this provision as to recovery hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, Buyer, on behalf of each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, and Seller, on behalf of each of Seller Indemnified Parties, waive any right to recover punitive, special, exemplary and consequential damages, including damages for lost profits, arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) In order to facilitate the post-Closing transition of operations of certain of the Seller-operated Assets, Seller and Buyer shall enter into a Transition Agreement , pursuant to which Buyer will become contract operator of certain of the Seller-operated Assets as is therein specified. The form of a Transition Agreement shall be mutually agreed upon on or before ten (10) days prior to Closing, and will provide, among other provisions, a full and complete indemnification of Seller by Buyer, and shall also include a provision that if Buyer does not qualify as a Designated Operator of an Asset with the MMS within ninety (90) days after Closing, Buyer will execute a Designation of Operator of a co-working interest owner of the Asset to become the Designated Operator, unless requested otherwise by Seller. Additionally Seller and Buyer shall enter into an accounting and marketing services agreement with respect to the Assets, the form of which shall be mutually agreed to on or before 10 days prior to Closing.

(b) As to those Assets in which Seller is retaining Deep Depths pursuant to this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree that it is to their mutual benefit that Buyer deliver to Seller copies of the monthly MMS OGAR reports relating to production of Hydrocarbons above those Deep Depths in those Assets, and Buyer agrees that it will do so.

53


(c) As to those Deep Depths in which Seller and Buyer will both own interests pursuant to this Agreement, for those Leases where there is no existing Operating Agreement applicable to the Deep Depths, Seller and Buyer shall (post-Closing, whenever requested, from time to time, by either Seller or Buyer) enter into an Operating Agreement, applicable separately on a Block by Block basis, substantially in the form attached hereto (or in such other form as they may mutually agree) as Exhibit G.

16.19 Revisions to Exhibits and Schedules. Between the date of execution of this Agreement and Closing the Parties agree to make such mutually agreeable revisions and/or corrections to the Exhibits and Schedules hereto as the Parties may deem appropriate.

Page 16 of 84


The provisions of this Agreement shall prevail in the event of conflict with Exhibit "C".

8.2 Authorization. Operator shall neither make any single expenditure nor undertake any project costing in excess of one Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) without prior approval of the Parties. Subject to any election provided in Articles 10 and 11, approval of an Exploratory Well or Development Well operation shall include approval of all necessary expenditures through drilling, coring, testing and logging to the objective depth and plugging and abandoning costs if applicable. In the event of an emergency, Operator may immediately make such expenditures that in its opinion are required to deal with the emergency. Operator shall report to the Parties, as promptly as possible, the nature of the emergency and action taken.

8.3 Advance Billings. In addition to any advance billing rights granted to Operator in Exhibit “C,” Operator shall have the right to require each Party to advance its respective share of estimated expenditures contained in an AFE that has been approved by such Party prior to commencement of the operation contemplated by the AFE. Such advance payment shall be due no later than thirty days (30) days prior to the commencement of operations contemplated by the AFE. Failure of a Party to pay amounts owed under this Article 8.3 shall be a condition of default subjecting such party to the provisions of Article 8.7 below.

8.4 Commingling of Funds. Funds received by Operator under this Agreement may be commingled with its own funds.

8.5 Security Rights. In addition to other security rights and remedies provided by law for services rendered or materials and equipment furnished under this Agreement, each Non-Operator grants a lien in, and mortgages, pledges, affects, and hypothecates to Operator, and Operator grants a lien in, and mortgages, pledges, affects, and hypothecates to the Non-Operators, all of its respective rights, title, and interest in and to the following (the “Mortgaged Property”):

(a) the Lease and all accounts, gas imbalance accounts, contract rights, inventory, and general intangibles relating thereto or arising therefrom;

(b) all property and fixtures, moveable or immovable, corporeal or incorporeal, attached to or located on the Lease;

(c) all production from the Lease and the proceeds attributable to the production; and

Page 17 of 84


(d) all personal property, corporeal or incorporeal, used, obtained, or constructed (including, but not limited to, Platforms and Platforms under construction) for use in connection with the Lease and operations thereon; to secure payment of charges against that Party and the performance of the obligations of that Party under this Agreement in the actual amount owed together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Exhibit “C” or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, plus attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other related collection costs, all as provided in Exhibit “F.” On request, each Party shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver multiple originals of the Memorandum of Operating Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit “F.” Any Party may file this Agreement, the Memorandum of Operating Agreement, or both, in any public office it deems appropriate. If a Party does not pay its charges and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and if the failure to pay or perform subjects that Party to foreclosure or execution proceedings under this Agreement, the defaulting Party waives (to the extent allowed by applicable law) (a) all rights of redemption from and after the date of judgment, (b) all required valuations or appraisements of the Mortgaged Property before sale, (c) all rights to stay execution or to require a marshalling of assets, and (d) all requirements for a bond if a receiver is appointed. In addition, to the extent allowed by applicable law, each Party hereby grants the other Parties a power of sale for each Mortgaged Property, such power to be exercised on default in payment or performance under this Agreement, in the manner provided by applicable law or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner and upon reasonable notice. A Party may use applicable state lien laws to secure the payment and performance obligations of each Party hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent allowed by applicable law, Operator may invoke use of the mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien laws to secure the payment to Operator of any sum due under this Agreement for services performed or materials supplied by Operator. If a Party does not pay the charges when due and until the amount owed has been paid, Operator (or Non-operators, if the defaulting Party is the Operator) shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies to realize upon its security under this Article 8.5, (a) the right of offset, (b) the right to notify the purchaser of the defaulting Party’s share of production about the unpaid charges, (c) the right to collect from the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of the production, and (d) the right to cause the purchaser to withhold or escrow the proceeds from the defaulting Party. Each purchaser may rely on Operator’s (or

Page 18 of 84


Non-operators’, if the defaulting Party is the Operator) statement of the amount owed. A purchaser of production may rely on a notification of default from a non-defaulting Party, stating the amount due as a result of the default. All Parties waive recourse against the purchasers for releasing, withholding, or escrowing production proceeds under this Section 8.5.

8.6 Unpaid Charges. If any Party fails to pay the charges due hereunder within sixty (60) days after rendition of Operator's statement, the other Participating Parties shall, upon Operator's request, pay the unpaid amount in proportion to their interests. Each Party so paying its share of the unpaid amount shall be subrogated to Operator's security rights to the extent of such payment.

8.7 Default. If any Party does not pay its share of the charges when due, Operator may give such Party notice that unless payment is made within fifteen (15) days, such Party shall be in default. Any Party in default shall have no further access to the maps, records, data, interpretations, or other information obtained in connection with operations. A defaulting Party shall not be entitled to vote on any matter until such time as said Party's payments are current. The voting interest of each non-defaulting Party shall be in the proportion its Participating Interest bears to the total non-defaulting Participating Interest. As to any operation approved and/or undertaken during the time a Party is in default, such Party shall be deemed to be a Non-Participating Party, notwithstanding any election by the defaulting Party to the contrary.

ARTICLE 9

NOTICES

9.1 Giving and Receiving Notices. All notices shall be in writing and delivered in person or by U.S. certified mail, overnight courier such as Federal Express or fax; however, if a drilling rig is on location and standby charges are accumulating, such notices shall be given by telephone and immediately confirmed in writing. Notice shall be deemed given only when received by the Party to whom such notice is directed, except that any notice by certified mail or equivalent properly addressed, pursuant to Article 6.1, and with all postage and charges prepaid shall be deemed given seventy-two (72) hours after such notice is deposited in the mail or twenty-four (24) hours after such notice is sent by facsimile (receipt confirmed).

location and/or a different projected depth for such well, the Operator shall call a meeting of the Parties to be held within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the counterproposal for the purpose of determining by majority vote in interest which location and/or to which depth the well shall be proposed. (In the event of a tie vote, the Operator shall determine which proposal shall be the proposal for consideration.) In such event, the period for response by each Party of its election whether or not to join in the drilling of such well shall expire fifteen (15) days after the meeting to determine what proposal to consider is held. If a mobile drilling rig is on location when an Exploratory Well is proposed, no Party shall have the right to make alternative Exploratory Well proposals pursuant to this Article 10.1.

10.2 Second Opportunity to Participate. If fewer than all but one (1) or more Parties having a combined Working Interest of fifty percent (50%) or more elect to participate, the Operator shall inform the Parties of the elections made, whereupon any Party originally electing not to participate may then elect to participate by notifying the Operator within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such information.

10.3 Final Election to Participate. If fewer than all Parties approve any proposed operation, the Operator, immediately after the expiration of the applicable response time, shall inform the Parties who initially elected to participate of the total interest of the Parties approving such operation. Each Participating Party, within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of such, shall advise the Operator of its desire to (a) limit participation to such Party's interest as shown on Exhibit "A”; or (b) carry its proportionate part of Non-Participating Parties’ interests, and failure to advise the proposing Party shall be deemed an election under (a), notwithstanding Article 9.4.

10.4 Operations by Fewer Than All Parties. If fewer than all but one (1) or more Parties having a combined Working interest of fifty percent (50%) or more elect to participate in and agree to bear 100% of the cost and risk of drilling the proposed well, Operator shall drill such well for the Participating Parties under this Agreement.

10.4.1 First Exploratory Well. If the first Exploratory Well proposed to be drilled on the Lease is commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the last applicable election date, the Parties participating in drilling the first Exploratory Well shall be entitled to receive pro-rata an assignment of the entire interest in the Lease from a Party which did not

Page 21 of 84


participate in drilling the well. Such Party not participating in the well hereby agrees to execute and deliver such an Assignment of its interest in the lease within thirty days after such party receives notice that well operations are concluded; provided however, the Assignor therein shall not be relieved of previously incurred obligations hereunder by virtue of such assignment.

10.4.2 Subsequent Exploratory Wells. Should any subsequent Exploratory Well(s) be proposed to be drilled on the Lease after completion of drilling of the first Exploratory Well as proposed, and be commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the last applicable election date as provided herein after the notice thereof, any Party not participating in the drilling of such subsequent Exploratory Well shall relinquish all of its interest in such well and the production therefrom, until the Parties participating in the drilling of such well shall have recovered the amounts as provided in Article 12.2.1, except that the percentage of recoupment as provided in Article 12.2.1(a) shall be Six Hundred Percent (600%) of the non-participating Party's share of the cost of drilling any subsequent Exploratory Well. If any Exploratory Well proposed hereunder is not commenced within the time period as prescribed above, the effect shall be as if the proposal had never been made.

10.4.3 Form of Assignment. Any assignment required pursuant to this Article 10.4 shall contain a special warranty of title and shall be free and clear of any royalties (other than the lessor’s royalty), overriding royalties, net profits payments, production payments, liens, mortgages, deeds of trust and other burdens on production, working and/or net revenue interest, except for such burdens as are listed on Exhibit “A” of this Agreement and shall be in a form that is acceptable to the United States of America, Minerals Management Service.

10.5.1 Operator’s Recommendation. At such time as an Exploratory Well has been drilled as proposed, Operator shall notify the Participating Parties setting forth Operator's recommendation either to:

(a) conduct additional coring, testing or logging of the formations encountered;

(b) deepen the well;

(c) attempt completion at the Objective Depth;

(d) sidetrack the well to another bottom hole location;

Page 22 of 84


(e) plug back the well and attempt completion at a shallower depth; or

(f) plug and abandon the well.

10.5.2 Response to Operator’s Recommendation. The Participating Parties, within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of Operator's recommendation, shall respond thereto either by approving it or by making another of the proposals listed in (a)–(f) above. If another proposal is made, the Participating Parties shall have an additional twenty-four (24) hours to respond thereto. If conflicting proposals are made, preference shall be given first to (a) above and next to (b) above and so forth subject to the required vote below. If different depths are proposed for plugging back and attempting completion, preference shall be given first to the deepest depth proposed and then to other depths in ascending order. If different depths are proposed as objectives for deepening, preference shall be given to depths in descending order. Failure of a Participating Party to respond to a proposal shall be deemed a negative response.

10.5.3 Approval to Conduct Operation. If all of the Participating Parties approve a proposal to conduct an operation, then Operator shall conduct the operation at the Participating Parties' costs and risks. If fewer than all but one (1) or more Participating Parties with a combined Working Interest of fifty percent (50%) or more approve an operation proposed pursuant to this provision and agree to bear all costs and risks thereof, other than a proposal to plug and abandon, Operator shall conduct said operation as a Non-Consent Operation for such Parties pursuant to the provisions of Article 12. Upon completion of said operation, the Operator shall notify the Participating Parties setting forth the Operator's recommendations for further operations and the Parties shall again determine the action to be taken by the prescribed vote in the above order of priority. The Participating Parties shall bear their proportionate share of any drilling rig standby charges that may accumulate during the above described election process until the operations to be conducted have been determined.

10.5.4 Failure to Agree. In the event the Participating Parties fail to agree upon further operations after reaching the Objective Depth and the necessary approvals to conduct further operations cannot be obtained, then Operator shall proceed to plug and abandon the well at the expense of the Participating Parties as provided herein.

Page 23 of 84


10.5.5 Election by Non-Participating Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if drilling to the initial objective depth on any Exploratory Well does not result in a well which will be qualified as a Producible Well and the decision is to drill deeper, each original Non-Participating Party shall be notified by the Operator of such decision. Any Non-Participating Party may then agree to participate in the deepening operation by notifying the Operator, within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving notice of the decision. In such event any Non-Participating Party which elects to participate in deepening the well as proposed shall pay its proportionate share of the costs of the well, to the initial objective depth. The foregoing shall not apply to the first Exploratory Well.

10.5.6 Plugging and Abandoning Cost. The Participating Parties shall pay all costs of plugging and abandoning except any costs associated with a subsequent Non-Consent Operation. The participants in a subsequent Non-Consent Operation shall pay any plugging and abandoning costs associated with such operation.

zone including completion or abandonment. All operations below the depth to which such Party agreed to participate shall be governed by Article 12.

ARTICLE 12

NON-CONSENT OPERATIONS

12.1 Operations by Fewer Than All Parties. All Non-Consent Operations shall be conducted at the sole risk and expense of the Participating Parties, in accordance with the following provisions:

12.1.1 Non-Interference. Non-Consent Operations shall not interfere unreasonably with operations being conducted by all parties, provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any temporary interference or hindrance of joint account operations, such as the shutting in of a producing well(s) owned by all Parties in order to hook up wells drilled as a Non -Consent Operation.

12.1.2 Multiple Completion Limitation. Non-Consent Operations shall not be conducted in a well having multiple completions unless:

(a) each completion is owned by the same Parties in the same proportions;

(b) the well is incapable of producing in paying quantities from any of its completions; or

(c) all Participating Parties in the well consent to such operations.

12.1.3 Metering. In Non-Consent Operations, production need not be separately metered but may be determined on the basis of well tests.

12.1.4 Non-Consent Well. Operations on a Non-Consent Well shall not be conducted in any reservoir into which a Producible Well has made or could make a completion without approval of each Non-Participating Party unless:

(a) such reservoir shall have been designated in the notice for such Non-Consent Well as an objective sand, formation or target; and

(b) the horizontal distance between the take point in the reservoir in such Non Consent Well and the take point in the reservoir in any existing well will be at least one thousand (1,000) feet if an oil-well completion or two thousand (2,000) feet if a gas-well completion.

12.1.5 Cost Information. Operator shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after completion of a Non-Consent Well, furnish the Parties an

Page 27 of 84


inventory and an itemized statement of the cost of such well and equipment pertaining thereto. Operator shall furnish to the Parties a quarterly statement showing operating expenses, and the proceeds from the sale of production from the well for the preceding month.

12.1.6 Completions. In determining the interests subject to production reversion penalties pursuant to 12.2.1 below, each completion taken in a well shall be considered a separate well.

12.2 Forfeiture of Interest. Upon commencement of Non-Consent Operations, each Non-Participating Party's interest and leasehold operating rights in the Non-Consent Operation and title to production therefrom shall be owned by and vested in each Participating Party in proportion to its Participating Interest or in proportions agreed to by the Participating Parties for as long as the operations originally proposed are being conducted or production is obtained, subject to the following:

12.2.1 Production Reversion Penalties. Such interest, rights and title shall revert to each Non-Participating Party when the Participating Parties have recouped out of the Non-Participating Party's Participating Interest in the proceeds of production from such Non-Consent Operations an amount, which when added to any amounts received under Article 12.5, equals the sum of the following:

(a) Four hundred percent (400%) of the Non-Participating Party's Share of the cost of drilling, completing, recompleting, deepening, deviating, or plugging back each Non-Consent Well, and equipping it through the wellhead connections, reduced by any contribution received under Article 21.1: plus

(b) One hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Non-Participating Party's Share of the cost of Facilities necessary to carry out the operation; plus,

(c) Three hundred percent (300%) of the Non-Participating Party's Share of the cost of any Non-Consent Platform which must be installed to carry out the operation; plus,

(d) One hundred percent (100%) of the Non-Participating Party's Share of the cost of using any Platform already installed as set forth in Article 12.6 below; plus,

(e) Non-Participating Party's Share of the cost of operating expenses, royalties and severance, gathering and production taxes.

Page 28 of 84


12.2.2 Reversion of Rights to Production. Upon the recoupment of all costs listed in (a) through (e) above by the Participating Parties, a Non-Participating Party shall become a Participating Party in such operations.

12.2.3 Failure to Recoup Penalties. If such Non-Consent Operations fail to obtain production or if such operations result in production which ceases prior to recoupment by the Participating Parties of the penalties provided for above, such operating rights shall revert to each Non-Participating Party except that all Non-Consent Wells, Platforms and Facilities shall remain vested in the Participating Parties; however, any salvage in excess of the sum remaining under Article 12.2.1 shall be credited to all Parties. The foregoing shall not apply to a Non-Participating Party’s interest forfeited as a result of an election not to participate in the first Exploratory Well.

12.3 Deepening of Non-Consent Development Well. If any Participating Party proposes to deepen a Non-Consent Development Well, a Non-Participating Party may participate by notifying the Operator within thirty (30) days after receiving the proposal, or within forty-eight (48) hours if a rig is on location and standby charges are being incurred, that it will join in the deepening operation and by paying to the Participating Parties an amount equal to what it would have paid had it initially participated in the well. Thereafter such Non-Participating Party shall be a Participating Party as to such deepening operations, and the provisions of Article 12.2.1(a) shall not be applicable to such Party as to the deepened portion of the well. The initial Participating Parties, however, shall continue to be entitled to recoup out of the proceeds of production from the non-consent portion of the well the full sum specified in Article 12.2.1 applicable to the Non-Consent Well, less the amount paid by a Non-Participating Party pursuant to this Article 12.3.

12.4 Operations from Non-Consent Platforms. A Party that did not originally participate in a Platform shall be a Non-Participating Party as to all operations from such Platform and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 12.2. Reversion shall occur only after the original Participating Parties have recouped the sum set forth in Article 12.2.1 for the Platform and the Non-Consent Operations thereon.

12.5 Discovery or Extension from Mobile Drilling Operations. If a Non-Consent Well is drilled from a mobile drilling rig or floating drilling vessel and results in the discovery of oil or gas or extension of a Producible Reservoir, the recoupment of costs applicable to such well and any well drilled into such

Page 29 of 84


Producible Reservoir shall be governed by Article 12.2 and shall be recovered by the Participating Parties in the following manner:

(a) If such Non-Consent Well is not completed and produced, recoupment shall be out of one-half (1/2) of the Non-Participating Party's share of production from all subsequently completed wells on the Lease which are completed in the Producible Reservoir discovered or extended by such Non-Consent Well and in which the Non-Participating Party in such Non-Consent Well has a Participating Interest.

(b) If such Non-Consent Well is completed and produced, recoupment shall be out of the Non-Participating Party's Share of all production from such Non-Consent Well and one-half (1/2) of the Non-Participating Party's share of production from all subsequently completed wells on the Lease which are completed in the Producible Reservoir discovered or extended by such Non-Consent Well and in which the Non-Participating Party in such Non-Consent Well has a Participating Interest.

12.6 Allocation of Platform Costs to Non-Consent Operations. Non-Consent Operations shall be subject to further conditions as follows:

12.6.1 Charges. If a Non-Consent Well is drilled from a Platform, the Participating Parties in such well shall pay to the Operator for credit to the owners of such Platform a charge for the right to use the Platform and its Facilities as follows:

(a) Such Participating Parties shall pay a sum equal to that portion of the total cost of the Platform, which one Platform slot bears to the total number of slots on the Platform. If the Non-Consent Well is abandoned, the right of Participating Parties to use that Platform slot shall terminate unless such Parties commence drilling a substitute well from the same slot within ninety (90) days after abandonment.

(b) If the Non-Consent Well production is handled through the Facilities, the Participating Parties shall pay a sum equal to that portion of the total cost of such Facilities which one well bears to the total number of wells utilizing the Facilities.

12.6.2 Operating and Maintenance Charges. The Participating Parties shall pay all costs necessary to connect a Non-Consent Well to the Facilities and that proportionate part of the expense of operating and maintaining the Platform and Facilities applicable to the Non-Consent Well. Platform operating and maintenance expenses shall be allocated equally to all well

Page 30 of 84


completions served, and operating and maintenance expenses for the Facilities shall be allocated equally to all active well completions.

12.6.3 Payments. Payment of sums pursuant to Article 12.6.1 is not a purchase of an additional interest in the Platform or Facilities. Such payments shall be included in the total amount that the Participating Parties are entitled to recoup out of production from the Non-Consent Well.

12.7 Non-Consent Activity to Maintain Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Party electing not to participate in a Lease Saving Operation shall be deemed to be a Withdrawing Party and the Participating Parties shall be the Remaining Parties subject to the terms and conditions of Article 15 below. If more than one well is drilled, any of which would maintain or extend the Lease or such portions thereof, withdrawal shall not be required from any party participating in any such well.

12.8 Retention of Lease by Non-Consent Well. If a Non-Consent Well is the only well on the Lease that is serving to perpetuate the Lease or portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Lease primary term, each Non-Participating Party in said well shall elect one of the following:

(a) to be deemed a Withdrawing Party subject immediately to the terms and conditions of Article 15 below; or

(b) immediately pay to the Participating Parties its share of well costs or the amount of such costs and penalties remaining to be recovered out of its share of production by the Participating Parties, whichever is lesser, such payment to be credited against the total amount to be recovered.

12.9 Application to Each Lease Separately. It is agreed that for the purposes of Articles 12.7 and 12.8, the word Lease refers to each lease listed in Exhibit "A" separately regardless whether this Agreement applies to multiple leases pursuant to Article 1.1 above.

12.10 Allocation of Costs Between Zones (Single Completion). For the purpose of allocating costs on any well completed in only one zone in which the ownership is not the same for the entire depth or the completion thereof, the cost of drilling, completing, and equipping such well shall be allocated on the following basis:

(a) Intangible drilling, completion, casing string and material costs from the surface to a depth one hundred (100) feet below the base of the completed zone shall be charged to the owners or the Parties participating in that zone.

Page 31 of 84


(b) Intangible drilling, completion, casing string and material costs, other than tubing costs, from a depth of one hundred (100) feet below the base of the completed zone to total depth shall be charged to the owners or the Parties participating in the costs to total depth.

12.11 Allocation of Costs Between Zones (Multiple Completions). For the purpose of allocating costs on any well completed in dual or multiple zones in which the ownership is not the same for the entire depth or the completion thereof, the cost of drilling, completing, and equipping such well shall be allocated on the following basis:

(a) Intangible drilling, completion, casing string and material costs other than tubing costs, from the surface to a depth one hundred (100) feet below the base of the upper completed zone.

(b) Intangible drilling, completion, casing string, and material costs, other than tubing, from a depth one hundred (100) feet below the base of the upper completed zone to a depth one hundred (100) feet below the base of the second completed zone shall be divided equally between the second and any other zone completed below such depth and charged to the owners thereof or to the Parties participating in each such zone. If the well is completed in additional zones, the costs applicable to each such zone shall be determined and charged to the owners thereof in the same manner as prescribed by the dual zones completion.

(c) Intangible drilling, completion, casing string and material costs, other than tubing costs, from a depth one hundred (100) feet below the base of the lower completed zone to total depth shall be charged to the owners or to the Parties participating in the costs to total depth.

(d) Costs of tubing strings serving each separate zone shall be charged to the owners or to the Parties participating in each zone.

(e) For the purposes of allocating tangible and intangible costs between zones that occur at less than one hundred (100) foot intervals, the distance between the base of the upper zone to the top of the next lower zone shall be allocated equally between zones.

12.12 Allocation of Costs Between Zones (Dry Hole). For the purpose of allocating costs on any well determined to be a dry hole, in which the ownership is not the same for the entire depth or the completion thereof, the cost of drilling, plugging and abandoning such well shall be allocated on the following basis:

Page 32 of 84


(a) Costs to drill, plug and abandon a well proposed for completion in single, dual, or multiple zones shall be charged to the Participating Parties in the same manner as if the well were completed as a producing well in all zones as proposed.

(b) Plugging and abandoning of any well following any deepening, completion attempt, or other operation shall be at the sole risk and expense of the Participating Parties in such operation, subject, however, to the provisions of Article 11.6.

12.13 Intangible Drilling and Completion Cost Allocations. For the purposes of allocating costs under Articles 12.10, 12.11 and 12.12, intangible drilling and completion costs, including non-controllable materials costs, shall be allocated between zones, including the interval from the lower completed zones to total depth, on a drilling day ratio basis where the factor for each zone is determined by a fraction for which the numerator is the number of drilling and completion days applicable to that zone and the denominator is the total number of days spent on the well, beginning on the day the rig arrives on location and terminating when the rig is released.

ARTICLE 13

FACILITIES

13.1 Approval. Any Party may propose the installation of Facilities by notice to the other Parties with information adequate to describe the proposed Facilities and the estimated costs. The affirmative vote of one (1) or more Parties having a combined Participating Interest of fifty percent (50%) or more in the wells to be served shall constitute approval which shall be binding on all owners of the wells to be served; however, nothing hereunder shall limit a Party's rights under Article 22.1.

13.2 Contracts. Operator may enter into contracts with independent contractors for the Facilities and, insofar as is reasonable, shall utilize competitive bidding.

13.3 Use of Platforms and Facilities For Lease Production.

13.3.1 Platform and Facilities Terms of Use. In the event joint operations are to be conducted hereunder, or should ______________ elect not to participate in any operation hereunder, the Parties agree to enter into a Platform Use and Production Handling Agreement (PHA) for any existing Platform located on the Lease that will be utilized in said operation and will

Page 33 of 84


provide for Devon’s use of such Platform for drilling, producing, and production handling and processing operations on the Lease. The Parties agree to enter into good faith negotiations to establish the fees, terms and conditions of the PHA at such time as such an agreement becomes necessary.

ARTICLE 14

ABANDONMENT AND SALVAGE

14.1 Platform Salvage and Removal Costs. When the Parties owning a Platform mutually agree to dispose of such Platform, it shall be disposed of by the Operator as approved by such Parties. The costs, risks, and net proceeds, if any, resulting from such disposition shall be shared by such Parties in proportion to their Participating Interests.

14.2 Abandonment of Producing Well. Any party who was a Participating Party in the drilling and completion of a well may propose the abandonment of such well by notifying the other Participating Parties. If such proposal receives the unanimous approval of the Participating Parties, the well shall be plugged and abandoned in accordance with the applicable regulations at the cost and risk of the Participating Parties. If any Participating Party fails to respond within the applicable response period, that Participating Party is deemed to have approved the abandonment of the well. If all Participating Parties do not approve abandoning the well, the well shall not be plugged and abandoned. Instead, the Operator shall prepare an estimate of the costs of plugging and abandonment of the well less the estimated salvage value of the well. The Participating Party (s) desiring to abandon the well (an “Abandoning Party”) shall each pay the Operator its share of such estimate. If an Abandoning Party(s)’s share of the estimated salvage value is greater than its share of the estimated costs, the Operator on behalf of the non-abandoning party(s) shall pay to the Abandoning Party(s) an amount equal to this difference. The Abandoning Party(s) shall thereafter have no further right, title or interest in the well and the non-abandoning parties shall assume all liabilities with respect to such well, including the costs to plug and abandon the well. Nothing in the foregoing shall preclude the Operator conducting operations at the expense of the Participating Parties for plugging and abandoning any well required to be plugged and abandoned by statute, regulation or order.

14.3 Assignment of Interest. Each Participating Party desiring to abandon a well pursuant to Article 14.2 shall, effective as of the last applicable

Page 34 of 84


election date, assign to the non-abandoning Parties in proportion to their Participating Interests its interest in such well and the equipment therein and its ownership in the production from such well. Any Party so assigning shall be relieved from any further liability with respect to said well.

14.4 Abandonment Operations Required by Governmental Authority. Any well abandonment or Platform removal required by a governmental authority shall be accomplished by Operator with the costs, risks, and net proceeds, if any, to be shared by the Parties owning such well or Platform in proportion to their Participating Interests.

ARTICLE 15

WITHDRAWAL

15.1 Right of Withdrawal: Subject to the limitations specified in this Article, any Party (the "Withdrawing Party") may withdraw from this Agreement by giving prior written notice to all other Parties (the "Remaining Parties") stating its intention to withdraw from continued joint operations under this Agreement. The withdrawal notice shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable offer by the Withdrawing Party to convey to the Remaining Party(ies) the Withdrawing Party's entire working interest in all of the Leases, the wells and associated Hydrocarbon reserves and production, any and all Platforms and Facilities, and all other property and equipment within the Lease owned under the terms of this Agreement (collectively “the Interest”). The withdrawal notice shall specify an effective date of withdrawal which date shall be at least sixty (60) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the withdrawal notice.

15.2 Response to Withdrawal: Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of withdrawal, each of the Remaining Parties shall elect in writing either to join in the withdrawal or to remain a Party to this Agreement. Failure to respond to a withdrawal notice shall be deemed an election to remain a Party to this Agreement.

15.3 Unanimous Withdrawal: If all the Parties agree to join in the withdrawal, no assignment of Interests shall take place and the Parties shall be deemed to have decided to abandon all joint operations within the Lease pursuant to Article 14 of this Agreement.

15.4 Acceptance of Withdrawing Interests: If fewer than all Parties agree to join in the withdrawal, then the Remaining Parties must accept an assignment of the Withdrawing Party's Interest. Unless otherwise agreed by the

Page 35 of 84


Remaining Parties, the Withdrawing Party's Interest shall be shared by the Remaining Party(ies) in the proportions which each of their Working Interests (prior to the withdrawal) bear to the sum of the Working Interests of all Remaining Parties (prior to the withdrawal). The Withdrawing Party(ies) shall take all necessary steps to accomplish the withdrawal by the effective date and execute and deliver to the Remaining Party(ies) all necessary instruments to assign its Interest to the Remaining Party(ies). All expenses associated with the withdrawal and the transfer of the Interest shall be borne by the Withdrawing Party(ies).

RENTALS, ROYALTIES AND OTHER PAYMENTS

16.1 Creation of Overriding Royalty. Any Party whose interest in the Lease is encumbered by an overriding royalty or other burden shall hold all other Parties free and harmless from such encumbrances. If any Party hereto shall create any overriding royalty, production payment or other burden against its Working Interest and if any other Party or Parties shall conduct Non-Consent Operations pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement and, as a result, become entitled to receive Working Interest production otherwise belonging to said Non-Participating Party, the Party entitled to receive the Working Interest production of the Non-Participating Party shall receive the production free and clear of burdens against such production which may have been created and the Non-Participating Party creating such subsequent burden shall save the Participating Party or Parties harmless with respect to said burden or burdens and will bear same at his own expense.

Page 37 of 84


16.2 Payment of Rentals and Minimum Royalties. Operator shall pay in a timely manner all rentals, minimum royalties, or similar payments accruing under the terms of the Lease and submit evidence of each such payment to the Parties. Operator shall not be held liable to the other Parties in damages for the loss of the Lease or interest therein if, through mistake or oversight, any rental, minimum royalty, or other payment is not paid or is erroneously paid.

16.3 Non-Participation in Payments. Should any Party elect not to pay its share of any rental, minimum royalty, or similar payment, such Party shall notify the other Parties at least sixty (60) days prior to the date on which such payment is due; and, in this event, Operator shall make such payment for the benefit of all the Participating Parties. In such event the Non-Participating Party shall, upon the request of the Participating Parties, assign to them such portions of its interest in the Lease as would be maintained by such payment. Unless otherwise agreed, such assigned interest shall be owned by each Participating Party in proportion to its Participating Interest.

16.4 Royalty Payments. Each party hereto shall be responsible for and shall separately bear and properly pay or cause to be paid all royalties due on production that it actually takes (regardless of its entitlement share) and on its share of any production used, consumed, or lost on the Lease. During such time as the Participating Parties in an operation in which fewer than all the Parties have participated are entitled to receive the Non-Participating Party's share of production, the Participating Parties shall bear the lease royalty due with respect to such share of production and shall hold the Non-Participating Parties harmless from liability for such royalty.

16.5 Federal Offshore Oil Pollution Compensation Fund Fee. Each Party agrees to pay and bear the Federal Offshore Oil Pollution Compensation Fund Fee payable on its share of oil produced, such fee being required by Article 302 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendment of 1978 and any regulation lawfully promulgated pursuant thereto; provided, however, should the oil owned by a Party be reported by another Party in the applicable reporting form, it shall be the obligation of such reporting Party and such reporting Party is specifically authorized to and agrees to pay the Federal Offshore Oil Pollution Compensation Fund Fee on those volumes which it reports for the benefit of the non-reporting party, and such reporting Party may charge such non-reporting Party for the payments so made.

Operator’s rights pursuant to this Article 19.4 shall not infringe upon any Party’s right to retain separate counsel to represent such Party at such Party’s separate expense. In that event, a Party shall still be liable for it’s pro rata share of legal expenses incurred by Operator in its defense of a claim.

19.6 Liability for Losses, Damages, Injury or Death. Liability for losses, damages, injury, or death arising from operations under this Agreement shall be borne by the Parties in proportion to their Participating Interests in the operations out of which such liability arises, except when such liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Operator, in which case Operator shall be liable to the extent of its gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(a) Notwithstanding any provisions herein that the rights and liabilities hereunder are several and not joint or collective or that this Agreement and the operations hereunder shall not constitute a partnership, if for Federal income tax purposes this Agreement and the operations hereunder are regarded as a partnership, then for Federal income tax purposes each Party elects to be excluded from the application of all provisions of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A, Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as permitted and authorized by Section 761 of said Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) transferee agrees in writing to assume all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement related to the interest acquired; and

2. Statements and Billings

Operator shall bill Non-Operators on or before the last day of each month for their proportionate share of the Joint Account for the preceding month. Such bills will be accompanied by statements which identify the authority for expenditure, lease or facility, and all charges and credits, summarized by appropriate classifications of investment and expense except that items of Controllable Material and unusual charges and credits shall be separately identified and fully described in detail.

3. Advances and Payments by Non-Operators

A. In addition to any rights to require advance payment granted to Operator in the Agreement, the Operator may require the Non-Operators to advance their share of estimated cash outlay for the succeeding month's operation within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the billing or by the first day of the month for which the advance is required, whichever is later. Operator shall adjust each monthly billing to reflect advances received from the Non-Operators.

B. Each Non-Operator shall pay its proportion of all bills within fifteen (15) days after receipt. If payment is not made within such time, the unpaid balance shall bear interest monthly at the prime rate in effect at Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York on the first day of the month in which delinquency occurs plus 3% or the maximum contract rate permitted by the applicable usury laws of the jurisdiction in which the Joint Property is located, whichever is the lesser, plus attorney's fees, court costs, and other costs in connection with the collection of unpaid amounts.

Payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of any Non-Operator to protest or question the correctness thereof; provided, however, all bills and statements (including Payout Status Statements) rendered to Non-Operators by Operator during any calendar year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) months following the end of any such calendar year, unless within the said twenty-four (24) month period a Non-Operator takes written exception thereto and makes claim on Operator for adjustment.

Where there are two or more Non-Operators, the Non-Operators shall make every reasonable effort to conduct a joint audit in a manner which will result in a minimum of inconvenience to the Operator. Operator shall bear no portion of the Non-Operators’ audit cost incurred under this paragraph unless agreed to by the Operator.

B. The Operator shall reply in writing to an audit report within 180 days after receipt of such report. Subsequently, at least at 90-day intervals, the Non-Operator and the Operator should exchange substantive replies in order to come to a mutually agreeable resolution of the audit exceptions. After a period of 18 months if no resolution has been forthcoming, the lead audit company or Operator may call an audit exception conference for the purpose of resolving audit issues/exceptions that are outstanding. The meeting will require one month's advance written notice to Operator and all audit participants, and will be held at the Operator's office or other mutually agreeable location, and require the attendance of representatives of Operator and each audit participant responsible for the areas in which the exceptions are based and who have the authority to resolve issues on behalf of their company. Any party who fails to attend the resolution conference shall be bound by any resolution reached at the conference. The lead audit company will coordinate the response/position of the Non-Operators and continue to maintain its traditional

Page 52 of 84


role throughout the audit resolution process. Attendees will make good faith efforts to resolve outstanding issues, and each Party will be required to present substantive information supporting its position. An audit resolution conference may be held as often as agreed to by the parties.

EXHIBIT "E"

Attached to and made a part of that certain Offshore Operating Agreement dated _______________, 2005, by and between Devon Energy Production Company, L.P., as Operator, and _______________________, as Non-Operator, covering and affecting _________________________ Area, Block _____, OCS-G ______, offshore ____________, Gulf of Mexico.

GAS BALANCING AGREEMENT

1. General Provisions.

1.1 Scope. It is the intent of this Agreement that during the productive life of the Lease subject to the above mentioned "Operating Agreement" the parties shall share in the total cumulative production from the Lease in proportion to their working interests as set out in the Operating Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, each Party shall have the right and the obligation to take its share of gas in kind, separately market its full share of available production and arrange for the transportation of its gas. From time to time, it is recognized that imbalances may occur in that parties may not take their full working interest share of gas and other parties may take more than their working interest share. This Agreement is intended to protect each party against other parties receiving more than their proportionate share of the total cumulative production. For the purposes of this agreement, all volumes and amounts of gas shall be thermally adjusted so that such volumes and amounts shall be reported and balanced hereunder on a Btu basis. For the purposes of determining cumulative production hereunder, gas used in Lease operations, vented or lost shall be excluded.

Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(A) Arm’s Length Agreement shall mean any gas sales agreement with an unaffiliated purchaser or any gas sales agreement with an affiliated purchaser where the sales price represents market value in the Lease.

(B) Btu (British Thermal Unit) means the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) avoirdupois pound of pure water from 58.5 to 59.5 degrees Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute.

(C) Casinghead Gas (oil well gas) means natural gas produced from wells classified as oil wells by the Minerals Management Service.

(D) Cumulative Overproduction means the amount by which the cumulative volume of gas taken by a party exceeds the cumulative volume that party was entitled to take according to its working interest.

Page 66 of 84


(E) Cumulative Underproduction means the amount by which the cumulative volume of gas taken by a party is less than the cumulative volume that party was entitled to take according to its working interest.

(F) Make-Up Gas means the volume of gas taken by an Underproducer to make up Cumulative Underproduction pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 below. More specifically, "Make Up Gas" shall mean that amount of gas volume an Underproducer may take from an Overproducer in addition to its own proportionate share of current production, in order to correct the imbalance that exists between the Underproducer and Overproducer.

(G) MMBtu means one million Btus

(H) Non-affiliate as it relates to a party means any corporation or other business organization not in control of and not controlled by and not under common control with such party.

(I) Overproducer means a party charged with Cumulative Overproduction.

(J) Underproducer means a party credited with Cumulative Underproduction.

Application of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operating Agreement, if any party takes and disposes of less than its working interest share of gas produced and saved during any calendar month, the volume not taken by such party may be taken by any other party or parties hereto; however, a party shall not be obligated to take more than its entitlement share of production. If such volume is taken by more than one party, each taking party shall be entitled to take the proportion thereof that its working interest bears to the sum of the working interests of all taking parties, or in such other proportions as the taking parties may agree upon among themselves. In the event any of the parties hereto, whether or not such party has entered into a gas sales arrangement or contract, does not take its full share of the cumulative production or delivery capacity from the Lease, less gas used in operations, vented or lost, the terms of this Agreement shall automatically become effective. Regardless of whether such party is overproduced or underproduced, all gas taken by a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be regarded as gas taken for its own account with title thereto being in such party, whether such gas be attributable to such party's working interest share of production, or whether it is being taken as Overproduction, or whether it is being taken as Make Up Gas. It is the intent of this Agreement that an Overproducer shall not suffer financial loss as a result of the accommodation of an Underproducer and that an Underproducer shall not be unjustly enriched by said underproduction.

Page 67 of 84


2.1 Casinghead Gas. The following provisions shall control the disposition of Casinghead Gas (oil-well gas), which cannot be flared or vented:

(A) Each party shall own and have the right and obligation to take in kind and separately use or market its share of the disposable Casinghead Gas on a day-to-day basis. The first gas taken in kind or disposed of by a party is construed to be its Casinghead Gas.

(B) If any party fails to take in kind or dispose of its share of Casinghead Gas produced from the Lease, the Operator, or (if the Operator does not exercise this option) any other working interest owner (herein after referred to as the Selling Party) may at its election at any time and from time to time separately sell on behalf of the non-taking party said non-taking party’s share of Casinghead Gas production to others on a day-to-day basis at the price or prices then currently offered the Selling Party for such additional production. When the Selling Party makes such a sale on behalf of a non-taking party, the Selling Party, if not the Operator, shall notify the Operator who shall credit all such sales to the non-taking party’s account. Ninety percent (90%) of the net sales proceeds from such sales, calculated at the delivery point, shall be remitted to the non-taking party. The remaining ten percent of the net sales proceeds shall be retained by the Selling Party as a marketing fee. However, there shall be no marketing fee reduction if (1) Operator agrees to market small volumes to eliminate the Operator’s administrative burden of providing estimates of gas available for sale and periodic production updates to the non-taking party, or (2) the non-taking party’s share is included in pipeline imbalances attributed to other parties as a result of PDA’s or other pipeline allocation methods, as defined in Section 11. The non-taking Party shall be responsible for all royalty payments associated with the sale of its Casinghead Gas by others. Any such sale(s) to be subject to revocation at will by the non-taking party if and when said non-taking party does take in kind or separately dispose of its share of Casinghead Gas produced and saved from the Lease.

2.2 Gas Well Gas Imbalances. Gas production attributable to the percentage ownership of any party but not taken by that party shall be owned exclusively by the taking party and subject either:

(A) to later production, sale or makeup from the Lease by the Underproducer; or

(B) to final settlement in cases of the inability to balance because of depletion.

3. Operator's Statements. On or before the end of each calendar month, Operator shall furnish the parties with a written statement showing (a) each party’s

Page 68 of 84


entitlement, (b) the total volume of gas taken by each party during the preceding calendar month; (c) the total volume of Casinghead Gas disposed of under Section 2.1 on behalf of each party; (d) the overproduction volume, the Make Up Gas taken by, or the underproduction volume of each party during that month; and (e) the Cumulative Overproduction or Cumulative Underproduction, if any, of each party as of the end of that month.

4. Settlement of Imbalances.

4.1 Make Up. At the earliest reasonable time, an Underproducer shall endeavor to balance its gas production. The Underproducer shall, upon proper notice as provided for herein, be entitled to take Make Up Gas in addition to its full working interest share of gas during that month, provided that, in order to accommodate such Make Up Gas, no other party shall ever be required to provide more than 50% of its working interest share of gas during the months of April, May, June, July, August, and September, and provided that the right to take Make Up Gas shall be subordinate to the right of any other party to take its full working interest share of gas from time to time to satisfy the deliverability test requirements of its gas contract. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Overproducer shall not be required to provide as Make-Up Gas more than 25% of its working interest share during the months of October, November, December, January, February and March. If two or more Underproducers desire to take Make Up Gas during the same month and the combined volume they desire to take exceeds the volume available as Make Up Gas, the volume available as Make Up Gas shall be shared by such Underproducers in proportion to their respective working interests. Subject to the monthly limitation specified above, the volume taken as Make Up Gas during the month shall be deducted from the volume of gas otherwise available to the Overproducers, in proportion to their respective working interest shares of gas. Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating any party that is not an Overproducer at the time the Make-Up Gas is taken to contribute any volumes as Make-Up Gas to an Underproducer. Any Make-Up Gas taken by the Underproducer prior to monetary settlement hereunder will be applied to offset Cumulative Overproduction chronologically in the order of accrual.

4.2 Termination of Production. Upon the earlier of the plugging and abandonment of the last producing interval in the Lease, the termination of the Operating Agreement, or at any time no gas sales are taken from the Lease for a period of six (6) consecutive months without a plan on file with the MMS to return the Lease to production, the Overproducer shall elect to balance with the Underproducer by one of the following methods: 1) Furnish Make Up Gas of similar quality on an MMBtu basis at a mutually agreeable delivery point at a mutually acceptable makeup rate. If the Overproducer furnishes the Underproducer Makeup-Gas from another location, then it shall deliver to the Underproducer the volume of gas adjusted in volume to equal the same BTU content and gas quality the Underproducer would have received. Or, 2) make monetary settlement of the overproduction by payment to the Underproducer based on the price (per MCF or

Page 69 of 84


MMBTU) received for the Cumulative Overproduction within one hundred twenty (120) days from the above date or cessation of deliveries of Make-Up Gas from another location, whichever is later. Overproducer shall advise Operator five (5) workdays from the end of the month of the Make-Up Gas provided from another location in the prior calendar month, or the date Make-Up Gas deliveries from another location permanently cease.

The price used for the above monetary settlement calculation shall be based on the actual proceeds received for the sale of the Gas by the Overproducing Party after deducting any production or severance taxes paid and any Royalty actually paid as well as any reasonable marketing, compression, treating, gathering or transportation costs incurred directly in connection with the sale of the Overproduction.

To the extent the Overproduced Party did not sell Overproduction under an Arm’s Length Agreement, the cash settlement will be based on the weighted average price received by the Overproduced Party for any gas sold from the Lease under Arm’s Length Agreements during the months to which such Overproduction is attributed. In the event that no sales under Arm’s Length Agreements were made during any such month, the cash settlement for such month will be based on the spot sales price published for the applicable geographic area during such month in a mutually acceptable pricing bulletin.

4.3 Settlements. Operator shall issue the final cash balancing statement sixty (60) days prior to a monetary settlement being required under Section 4.1, and shall specify the date on which all monetary settlements are to be concluded. This settlement statement shall also include appropriate accounting detail itemizing the monthly volume and value used to calculate the settlement amounts. After receipt of Operator's final cash balancing statement, each Overproducer shall pay each Underproducer in accordance with the statement. To the extent any value used to calculate a cash settlement hereunder is subject to refund by the Overproducer pursuant to law, regulation or governmental order, the Underproducer entitled to such cash settlement shall, prior to payment thereof, furnish a corporate undertaking, acceptable to the Overproducer, agreeing to indemnify the Overproducer against the Underproducer's proportionate part of any refund (including interest) which the Overproducer shall be required to make. Any party may challenge any volumes or values or amounts specified in any of the statements furnished under this Section or Section 3 above, in accordance with Section 12 hereof. Underproducer may charge Overproducer interest on the settlement amount at the rate noted on the COPAS, Exhibit "C", Paragraph 3, attached to the Operating Agreement beginning the day after a monetary settlement is required to be concluded under Section 4.1, as identified on the Operator’s final cash balancing statement. Underproducer shall provide written notice to the Operator of the date when the Overproducer has settled the imbalance in full.

Page 70 of 84


5. Oil and Other Minerals. Regardless of the volume of gas actually taken by any party hereto, such party shall share, as otherwise provided in the Operating Agreement, in the production of crude oil, condensate and other minerals separated from the gas in facilities operated for the joint account. It is not the intent herein for this Agreement to act as a balancing agreement for liquid hydrocarbons, nor shall this Agreement act as a balancing agreement for liquefiable hydrocarbons recovered from a gas processing plant or for retrograde condensate recovered from a pipeline downstream of the field delivery point.

6. Costs and Expenses. Regardless of the volume of gas actually taken by any party hereto, such party shall bear costs and expenses as otherwise provided in the Operating Agreement.

7. Assignments. This Agreement shall accrue to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, representatives and assigns and until all accounts of the Overproducer(s) and Underproducer(s) have been settled in accordance with the provisions herein. If an Overproducer sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers to any Non-affiliate company not already a party to this Agreement any of its interest in the Lease to which this Agreement applies, the Overproducer has the sole option within sixty (60) days of such disposition to make an immediate cash balancing of its share of the Cumulative Overproduction in accordance with the concepts set forth in this Agreement, or provide a written acknowledgment to each Underproducer signed by the assignee and the assignor of the total Cumulative Overproduction of the assignor as of the effective date of the disposition, the balance of the total Cumulative Overproduction being assigned to the assignee, and the assignee’s acceptance of the obligation to settle the Cumulative Overproduction being assigned to it in accordance with the terms of this Gas Balancing Agreement.

8. Payments on Production. Each party shall pay all production or severance taxes, excise taxes, and royalties due on the gas it takes hereunder, subject to any applicable law or regulation. Each party hereto shall be responsible for the payment of and shall indemnify the other parties against liability for any overriding royalty, production payment or other payment on production burdening such individual party's interest as set forth in the Operating Agreement.

9. Nominations. Each Party shall provide written notice to Operator of its monthly working interest nominations and its Makeup Gas nominations by the 25th calendar day of the month prior to the month of sale. Notice of intent to Makeup Gas shall be provided to both Operator and the Overproducer in writing at least forty-five (45) days prior to the desired month of first delivery of Makeup-Gas production. Make-up will commence on the 1st day of the month following the expiration of the 45 day notice period.

Operator shall provide each party with estimated sustainable total gas volumes and estimated gas volumes available for Makeup-Gas, when applicable,

Page 71 of 84


by the 18th calendar day of the month prior to the month of production. The parties recognize that the Operator's estimated total sustainable gas sales volume and volumes available for Make-Up Gas are no more than estimates, and that these estimates may vary during the production month from the actual gas sales volumes. Operator will attempt to notify working interest owners of significant variances from the original estimated sustainable total gas sales volumes and estimated volumes available for Make-Up Gas.

A party's nomination as submitted to the Operator by the date specified above shall constitute a declaration of and shall be used to determine the volume of underproduction available for sharing in accordance with the terms herein. If subsequent to this initial nomination additional underproduction becomes available during the monthly production period, such additional volume shall also be available for sharing according to the terms hereof. In such cases, subsequent written nominations shall be submitted, but only by working interest owner(s) who have both met the original notice requirements herein and who have taken and marketed their full working interest share of the estimated sustainable total gas sales volumes. Such subsequent nominations shall constitute a declaration of their election to share in underproduction up to the nominated quantity.

10. Notices. Notices required in Section 9 shall be in writing and delivered in person or by mail, telegraph, or facsimile, or by telephone immediately confirmed in writing. Notice shall be deemed given only when received by the party to whom such notice is directed, as indicated below or such other address or number and to the attention of such other person as either party shall hereinafter designate to the other in writing from time to time. If notice is sent by facsimile transmission, it shall be effective upon actual receipt if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or at the beginning of the recipient’s next business day after receipt if not received during the recipient’s normal business hours.

11. Disposition of Gas and Liquid Hydrocarbons. Each party upon electing to take their share of gas in kind shall take in kind and remain individually responsible for the sale and disposition of its proportionate share of gas and liquid hydrocarbon production allocated to the Lease. Operator shall have no liability for the cost of production transportation and associated costs that are attributable and allocated to each party’s production.

Page 72 of 84


Each party is responsible for making, or causing to be made, all gas nominations to the gas transporter for such party’s production. Each party and Operator shall cooperate and use due diligence to avoid pipeline penalties as a result of Operational Flow Orders (“OFO’s”), Predetermined Allocation Methods (“PDA’s”) or other pipeline allocation methods, “unscheduled gas” (gas that has been nominated and scheduled, but the quantity that actually flows differs from the nominated and scheduled quantity), “unauthorized gas” (gas that flows into the pipeline with no nomination), or similar types of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) approved penalties, in addition to Gas Pipeline Imbalances, as defined herein, resulting in pipeline penalties under the provisions of the applicable transportation tariff of any transporting pipeline. Operator shall make reasonable efforts to furnish tests and production information, as provided for herein under Section 9, for each party to adjust nominations; however, Operator shall not be responsible for, and shall not be liable for any damages/penalties for any act done or omitted in Operator’s performance under this Agreement or for errors in judgment (excluding Operator's gross negligence or willful misconduct).

Any costs imposed on Operator as a result of OFO’s, PDA’s or other pipeline allocation methods, unscheduled gas, unauthorized gas, or Gas Pipeline Imbalances with transporters, as described herein, shall be borne by each party in the proportion that its nomination, failure to nominate, fault, negligence, or liability without fault caused such imbalance/penalties.

For the purposes of this Section 11, the term “Gas Pipeline Imbalances” shall be defined as the difference between monthly gas nominations accepted by the gas transporter and the actual monthly volumes allocated by the transporter and recognized as a pipeline receipt for each party’s account in accordance with the pipeline’s allocation methods.

Where there are two or more parties, said parties shall make every reasonable effort to conduct joint or simultaneous audits in a manner that will result in a minimum of inconvenience to the Operator. Operator shall bear no portion of the audit costs incurred hereunder unless agreed to by the Operator. Further, Operator and any party hereto will also

have the right to review all parties' records associated with the over/short balance, Make-Up and cash settlement thereof, in accordance with the above provisions.

13. General Terms. The descriptive headings of the provisions of this Agreement are formulated and used for convenience only, and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning of any such provisions. This Agreement shall be considered as a supplement to the Operating Agreement to which it is attached and shall remain in full force and effect as long as the Operating Agreement is in effect. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
