authorized by Buyer and no other action on the part of Buyer is necessary to
authorize the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms except that (i)

remedy of specific performance and injunctive relief are subject to certain
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceedings may be brought, and (iii) rights to indemnification hereunder may
be limited under applicable securities laws.
3.2 No Violations. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby by Buyer and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) violate any
statute, rule, regulation, order or decree of any public body or authority by
which Buyer or his properties or assets are bound, or (c) result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute a default under or result in the
creation of any encumbrance upon, or create any rights of termination,
cancellation or acceleration in any person with respect to any agreement,
contract, indenture, mortgage or instrument to which Buyer is a party or any
of his properties or assets is bound.
3.3 Consents. No consent, approval or other authorization of any
governmental authority or third party is required as a result of or in
connection with the execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and the
other agreements and documents to be executed by Buyer or the consummation by
Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.4 Title. The Buyer has good title to the interests in the properties
comprising part of the Total Consideration (the "Interests") and such
Interests are free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances
or security interests of any nature whatsoever and all material environmental
requirements have been met.
3.5 Compliance with Laws. To the Buyer's best knowledge and belief,
the current use of the Interests complies with all material federal, state
and local laws.
12
3.6 Taxes. All taxes that could be the basis for a lien to be imposed
against the Interests have been paid in full through December 31, 1996 and
none will be due and owing as of the Closing Date. The Buyer has duly filed
all tax reports and returns related to the Interests and required to be filed
on or prior to the Closing Date with all federal, state and local taxing
authorities (including without limitation, those due in respect of its
properties, income, franchises, licenses, sales and payrolls) and has paid
all taxes shown as due on such returns in respect of the periods covered
thereby. The Buyer is not delinquent in the payment of any taxes with
respect to the Interests which have become due and payable on or prior to the
date of this Agreement, and no deficiencies have been assessed or asserted
with respect to taxes related to the Interests for periods ending prior to
the date of this Agreement which have not been paid or reserved.
3.7 Financial and Labor/Material Obligations. Any financial
obligations under any contracts or leases affecting the Interests are current
and there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Buyer, threatened
litigation relating to the Interests. All bills for services, labor and
material relating to the Interests shall have been paid prior to the Closing
Date and at the Closing there will be no liens or lienable claims arising
from the labor performed or materials supplied, or both, affecting the
Interests except those created by or under the directions of the Company, if
any.
3.8 Assignment. The Buyer holds, and hereby assigns, delivers and
conveys to the Company by duly and validly executed Assignment of Oil and Gas
Leases in the form attached hereto as Annex E or any other instruments of
conveyance required to convey good and marketable fee simple title to the

any commission or broker's, advisor's or finder's fees from any of the
parties hereto, or from any of their respective Affiliates, in connection
with any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.10 Investment Representations. The Buyer is acquiring the Shares for
the Buyer's own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing the same
other than in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The Buyer
understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by reason of their issuance in a
transaction intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws based, in part, upon the
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein. The Buyer
understands that neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved any of the Shares offered or passed upon
or endorsed the merits of the offering or confirmed the accuracy or
determined the adequacy of any materials or information presented or made
available to the Buyer in connection with this transaction, none of which has
been reviewed by any federal, state or other regulatory authority. The Buyer
understands that the Buyer must bear the economic risk of the investment
indefinitely because none of the Shares may be sold, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of unless
13
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or unless an exemption from registration is available.
ARTICLE IV
CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER
The obligation of Buyer to purchase the Shares, and to cause the other
transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, shall be subject to
the satisfaction of each of the following conditions at or prior to the
Closing:
4.1 Representations and Warranties. Each representation and warranty
of the Company contained in this Agreement and in any Schedule or other
disclosure in writing from the Company shall be true and correct when made,
and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Closing Date with the same effect as though such representation and warranty
had been made on and as of the Closing Date.
4.2 Covenants of Company. All of the covenants and agreements herein
on the part of Xxxxxxxx or the Company to be complied with or performed on or
before the Closing Date shall have been fully complied with and performed.
4.3 Certificate of the Company. There shall be delivered to Buyer a
certificate dated the Closing Date and signed by the President of the Company
to the effect set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, which certificate shall have
the effect of a representation and warranty made by the Company on and as of
the Closing Date.
4.4 Resignations and Releases of Directors and Officers. Buyer shall
have received the resignations of and releases from each of the officers of
the Company and each of the directors of the Company except Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx

CLOSING

location as is agreed to by Buyer and the Company, concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement (the "Closing Date").
5.2 Delivery of the Shares. At the Closing, the Company shall issue to
Buyer the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares.
5.3 Payments to Company. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the

14
ARTICLE VI
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
6.1 Registration Rights. At any time after the Closing Date, Buyer may
make a written request to the Company requesting that the Company effect the
registration of all or a portion of the Shares (the "Registrable Securities")
by filing a registration statement under the Securities Act. After receipt
of such a request, the Company will, as soon as practicable, use its best
efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities that the
Company has been so requested to register by the Buyer for offer or sale on
such appropriate registration form as will be selected by the Company and
will permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method of disposition thereof. If the Company at any time after
the Closing Date proposes to file on its behalf or on behalf of any of its
security holders a registration statement under the Securities Act on any
form (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or any successor form
unless such form is being used in lieu of, or as the functional equivalent
of, registration rights) for any Common Stock, the Company will, at each such
time, give written notice setting forth the terms of the proposed offering
and such other information as the Buyer may reasonably request at least 30
days before the anticipated initial filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") of such registration statement, and offer to
include in such filing such Registrable Securities as Buyer may request. If
Buyer desires to have Registrable Securities registered under this Section,
he will advise the Company in writing within 15 days after the date of
receipt of such notice from the Company, setting forth the number of such
Registrable Securities for which registration is requested. The Company will
thereupon include in such filing the number of Registrable Securities for
which registration is so requested, and will use its best efforts to effect
registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the prior sentence, if the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of such offering deliver a
written opinion to the Company, with a copy to the Buyer, that the success of
the offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion of
the Registrable Securities requested to be included, then the amount of
securities to be offered for the account of the Buyer will be reduced to the
extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in
such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or
underwriters; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the
account of other persons as well as the Company and the Buyer, then, with
respect to the Registrable Securities intended to be offered for the account
of the Buyer, the proportion by which the amount of Common Stock intended to
be offered for the account of the Buyer is reduced will not exceed the
proportion by which the amount of Common Stock intended to be offered by such
other persons (other than the Company) is reduced. The Company shall bear
the costs and expenses of any such registrations, other than underwriting
commissions or broker's fees.
15
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION; RECISSION
7.1 Buyer's or Company's Losses.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and his
directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys from,
against and in respect of any and all Buyer's Losses (as defined below)
suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any of them by reason
of (i) any representation or warranty made the Company in or pursuant to this
Agreement being untrue or incorrect in any respect; or (ii) any liability for
warranty claims arising from the sale of goods or services by the Company
through the Closing Date, except in any instance (other than any instance
relating to matters described in Sections 2.1, 2.10 or 2.31 hereof) to the
extent the Buyer's Losses result from the Buyer's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. This Section is intended to indemnify the Buyer and his
directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys from
the results of their negligence.
(b) "Buyer's Losses" shall mean all damages (including, without
limitation, amounts paid in settlement with the Company's consent, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld), losses, obligations, liabilities,
liens, deficiencies, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees), penalties, fines, interest, monetary sanctions and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred to comply with injunctions and other court and agency orders, and
other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action, investigation, claim
or proceeding or to establish or enforce the Buyer's or such other persons'
right to indemnification hereunder.
(c) The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys from,
against and in respect of any and all Company's Losses (as defined below)
suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any of them by reason
of any representation or warranty made the Buyer in or pursuant to this
Agreement being untrue or incorrect in any respect, except in any instance to
the extent the Company's Losses result from the Company's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This Section is intended to indemnify the
Company and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and
attorneys from the results of their negligence.
(d) "Company's Losses" shall mean all damages (including, without
limitation, amounts paid in settlement with the Buyer's consent, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld), losses, obligations, liabilities,
liens, deficiencies, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees), penalties, fines, interest, monetary sanctions and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
incurred to comply with injunctions and other court and agency orders, and
other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action, investigation, claim
or proceeding or to establish or enforce the Company's or such other persons'
right to indemnification hereunder.
16
7.2 Notice of Loss. Except to the extent set forth in the next
sentence, no party will have any liability under the indemnity provisions of
this Agreement with respect to a particular matter unless a notice setting
forth in reasonable detail the breach or other matter which is asserted has
been given to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) and, in addition, if
such matter arises out of a suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim,
such notice is given promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after
the Indemnified Party (as defined below) is given notice of the claim or the
commencement of the suit, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice
hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under
this Article, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. With respect to Buyer's Losses,
the Company shall be the Indemnifying Party and Buyer and his directors,
officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the
Indemnified Parties. With respect to Company's Losses, the Buyer shall be the
Indemnifying Party and the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the Indemnified Parties.
7.3 Right to Defend. Upon receipt of notice of any suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding for which indemnification might be claimed
by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend,
contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation,
claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must
cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in
defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has
relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular
matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the
event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect
in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation,
thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make
any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from
the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which
settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable
judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject
such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of
such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party;
provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good
faith or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity
therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters,
the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party
17
does not abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the
Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the
reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
7.4 Cooperation. The Company, Buyer, and each of their affiliates,
successors and assigns shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any
suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim by a third party and, during
normal business hours, shall afford each other access to their books and
records and employees relating to such suit, action, investigation, proceeding
or claim and shall furnish each other all such further information that they
have the right and power to furnish as may reasonably be necessary to defend
such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim, including, without
limitation, reports, studies, correspondence and other documentation relating
to Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission matters.
7.5 Waiver of Contribution and Indemnification. Xxxxxxxx hereby waives
and releases any rights of indemnification or contribution he may have against
the Company as a result of any payment made under this Article.
7.6 Rescission. In addition to the other remedies provided for under
this Agreement or any remedies available at law or in equity, in the event that
any of the representations or warranties made by the Company in Sections 2.10
or 2.31 of this Agreement are determined to be untrue or incorrect in any
respect pursuant to any suit, action or proceeding, Buyer shall have the right
to rescind the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and receive the
prompt return of the Total Consideration from the Company.
