- 2 -

(“Retained Properties”) and as further defined in Exhibit A-1. Seller’s retained leasehold rights shall be subject to a fifty (50%) percent back-in (50.0% working interest and 41.665% net revenue interest) and in favor of Buyer after delivery of up to 150 mmcf of helium to Praxair in accordance with the proposed term sheet and shall be further subject to the execution of an AAPL 610 Form (1989) Operating Agreement with the XXXXX 1984 Accounting Procedure by and between Seller and Buyer providing that Buyer shall be named Operator of any and all xxxxx produced and drilled on the leasehold. Subject Operating Agreement shall provide for producing rate overhead of $750/well/month and drilling rate overhead of $5,000/workover or drill well operation as well as the reimbursement by Seller of any of Buyer’s costs for bonding associated with any of Seller’s retained xxxxx or interests and reimbursement of any and all operating expenses associated with the operations of any xxxxx retained or drilled by Seller. To the extent that Seller completes its proposed transaction with Praxair and is required to produce, workover or drill any xxxxx on the Retained Properties, Seller agrees to enter into an escrow agreement with Buyer for such amounts as Buyer and Seller shall agree may be reasonably necessary to pay for and complete the production, workover or drilling operations contemplated by the Praxair agreement, including the payment of advance overhead rates to Buyer. Except for the forward sale to Praxair on similar terms as contemplated in the Confidential Term Sheet between Seller and Praxair, Seller agrees not to further encumber the Retained Properties in any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to the assignment of overriding royalty, net profits or other mineral rights or interests, pledging as collateral, selling or otherwise creating additional financial burdens against the Retained Properties or the modification or addition of any plant processing, operating or service fees related to the processing of the helium gas stream at the Shiprock Plant, that would reduce the economic value to Buyer of the back-in interest included herein.

If Buyer elects not to purchase the Retained Properties, the leasehold interest of Seller in the Retained Properties shall remain subject to a fifty (50%) percent back-in after delivery or sales of 150 mmcf of helium in favor of Buyer. Seller agrees not to further encumber the Retained Properties in any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to the assignment of overriding royalty, net profits or other mineral rights or interests, pledging as collateral, selling or otherwise creating additional financial burdens against the Retained Properties or the modification or addition of any plant processing, operating or service fees related to the processing of the helium gas stream at the Shiprock Plant, that would reduce the economic value to Buyer of the assets as if purchased as of the Closing of this Agreement. Buyer shall notify Seller of its election to purchase or not purchase the Retained Properties in writing within 90 days after the expiration of Seller’s rights to complete a forward sale to Praxair.

Seller has not received prepayments (including, but not limited to, payments for gas not taken pursuant to “take or pay” arrangements) for any oil or gas produced from the

- 6 -

Properties (or other properties) as a result of which the obligation exists to deliver oil or gas produced from the Properties after the Effective Date without then receiving payment (or without then receiving full payment) therefor or to make repayments in cash (and Seller has not, since the Effective Date, so delivered any oil or gas from the Properties or so made any such repayment in cash). There exist no gas balancing arrangements or agreements whereby production from a well included in the Properties can be used to balance overproduction from another well (whether or not such other well is on the Properties) nor do there exist any gas sales contracts, or other arrangements, under which production from a well on the Properties can be used (or cash payments by the owners of such a well can be required) to make up take or pay (or other similar payments) made with respect to another well (whether or not such other well is on the Properties). No well included in the Properties is subject to having allowable production after the date hereof reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction during Seller’s ownership of such well (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) prior to the date hereof (and no such reduction has occurred with respect to any well on the Properties since the Effective Date).

To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no matter which has not been disclosed to Buyer which materially and adversely affects or, so far as Seller can now reasonably foresee, will materially and adversely affect the Properties or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(q) Not a Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 (or similar provisions) of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., no Seller is a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).

(r) Consents and Preferential Purchase Rights. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, there are no Preferential Rights (below defined) or Consents (below defined) of third parties, with respect to any of the Properties that are applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, including the consummation of such transactions.

(s) Independent Evaluation. Seller is sophisticated in the evaluation, purchase, ownership and operation of oil and gas properties and related facilities.

physical condition of and contractual arrangements and other matters affecting the business of Imperial. Seller has no knowledge of any fact that results in the material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Buyer given hereunder with respect to which Seller has not provided Buyer written notice.

(t) Accredited Investor. Seller is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will acquire the Imperial Shares for its own account and not with a view to a sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, any applicable state blue sky Laws or any other applicable securities Laws.

(g) Regulatory. Buyer is now (or will be as of the date for Closing set forth in Section 10(a)), and hereafter (or thereafter) shall continue to be, qualified to own and assume

- 10 -

operatorship of the Leases, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement will not cause Buyer to be disqualified as such an owner or operator. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, Buyer currently has (or will have as of the date for Closing set forth in Section 10(a)), and will hereafter (or thereafter) continue to maintain, lease bonds, area-wide bonds or any other surety bonds as may be required by, and in accordance with, all applicable Laws governing the ownership and operation of such Leases.

5. Certain Covenants of Seller Pending Closing. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date:

(a) Access by Buyer.

(i) Records.

Buyer may make copies of such records, at its cost, but shall, if Seller so request, return (or if Buyer so elects, destroy) all copies so made if the Closing does not occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to provide Buyer with access to any records or data where such access would breach a confidentiality agreement with a third party; provided that, if requested by Buyer, Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to attempt to obtain a release of such confidentiality restriction.

- 11 -

(ii) Physical Inspection. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5(a), Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer’s authorized representatives, at all reasonable times before the Closing Date and upon adequate notice to Seller, with physical access to the Properties for the purpose of inspecting same; provided that such access shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and liability. Buyer recognizes that some or all of the Properties may be operated by parties other than Seller and that Seller’s ability to obtain access to such properties, and the manner and extent of such access, is subject to such third parties’ approval.

(iii) Environmental Inspections. Buyer shall be entitled to conduct environmental property assessments with respect to the Properties. Seller or its designee shall have the right to accompany Buyer and Buyer’s representatives whenever they are on site on the Properties and also to collect split test samples if any are collected. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall not have access to, and shall not be permitted to conduct any environmental due diligence with respect to any Properties where Seller does not have the authority to grant access for such due diligence (provided, however, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain permission from any applicable third party to allow Buyer and Buyer’s representatives such access).

(iv) Coordination of Inspections. Buyer shall coordinate its environmental property assessments and physical inspections of the Properties to minimize any inconvenience to or interruption of the conduct of business by Seller and its co-owners of the Leases and other lands included in the Properties. 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 Properties including any environmental or other inspection or assessment of the Properties. Buyer hereby defends, indemnifies and holds each of the operators of the Properties and Seller Group (below defined) harmless from and against any and all Losses (below defined) arising out of, resulting from or relating to any field visit, environmental property assessment, or other due diligence activity conducted by Buyer or any Buyer’s representative with respect to the Properties and Seller’s records pertaining thereto, even if such Losses arise out of or result from the sole, active, passive, concurrent or comparative negligence, strict liability or other fault or violation of law of or by a member of Seller Group, excepting only Losses actually resulting on the account of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a member of Seller Group.

(v) Copies of Reports. 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 Properties. 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 Properties or to the accuracy of said documents or the information contained therein.

(vi) Restoration of Properties. Upon completion of Buyer’s due diligence, Buyer shall at its sole cost and expense, (A) close all bore holes from its environmental property assessment (B) repair all damage done to the Properties in

- 12 -

connection with Buyer’s due diligence, (C) restore the Properties to the approximate same condition than it was prior to commencement of Buyer’s due diligence and (D) remove all equipment, tools or other property brought onto the Properties in connection with Buyer’s due diligence. Any disturbance to the Properties (including, without limitation, the real property associated with such Properties) resulting from Buyer’s due diligence will be promptly corrected by Buyer.

(b) Interim Operation. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or as expressly consented to in writing by Buyer, Seller agrees that from and after the date hereof until Closing, to (i) operate the Properties in the usual, regular and ordinary manner consistent with past practice; (ii) not transfer, sell, mortgage, pledge or dispose of any material portion of the Properties other than the sale and/or disposal of hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business and sales of equipment that is no longer necessary in the operation of the Properties or for which equivalent replacement equipment has been obtained, and (iii) except in connection with emergency operations, make or become liable for any capital expenditures with respect to the Properties which individually or in the aggregate exceeds twenty-five thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Buyer acknowledges Seller owns undivided interests in certain of the properties comprising the Properties that it is not the operator thereof, and Buyer agrees that the acts or omissions of the other working interests owners (including the operators) who are not Seller or any Affiliates of Seller shall not constitute a breach of the provisions of this Section 5(b), nor shall any action required by a vote of working interest owners constitute such a breach so long as Seller has voted its interest in a manner that complies with the provisions of this Section 5(b). Except for those disclosed (including the authorities for expenditures) on the Disclosure Schedule (with respect to which Seller may take the action or actions disclosed in connection therewith on such Disclosure Schedule), Seller will not, without Buyer’s consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), propose or conduct the drilling of any additional xxxxx, or propose or conduct the deepening, plugging back, reworking or abandoning of any existing xxxxx, or propose or conduct any other operations which require consent under the applicable operating agreement where the cost thereof (with respect to Seller’s interest) is reasonably expected to exceed twenty-five thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Except for those disclosed (including the authorities for expenditures) on the Disclosure Schedule (with respect to which Seller may take the action or actions disclosed in connection therewith on such Disclosure Schedule), Seller will advise Buyer of any such proposals made by other parties, and will consult with Buyer concerning such proposals, and will respond in the manner required by Buyer; provided that, if the period for responding to such a proposal extends beyond the Closing Date, Seller will not respond to such proposal unless the Closing does not occur prior to the next to last day allowed to respond (in which case Seller shall respond in the manner required by Buyer). Seller will not modify any Lease or any Material Contract included in or relating to the Properties or enter into any new Material Contract relating to the Properties without Buyer’s consent, other than production sales contracts, or other marketing related agreements, which terminate, or can be terminated, (in each case without penalty or other detriment) in thirty-one (31) days or less. Seller will not enter into any agreements or other arrangements for the pre-sale of oil, natural gas, plant products, helium, nitrogen or any other commodities from the Properties

- 13 -

without the express written consent of Buyer. Seller will remain as operator of the Properties shown on the Disclosure Schedule as being operated by Seller.

(c) Preferential Rights and Consents. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from all parties holding either (i) preferential rights to purchase (“Preferential Rights”) or (ii) rights to consent (“Consents”) which would be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby (and in accordance with the documents creating such rights) execution of waivers of such Preferential Rights and Consents. If a party from whom a waiver of a Preferential Right is requested refuses to give such waiver and validly exercises its preferential purchase right, then Seller will tender to such party the required interest in the Property (at a price equal to the amount specified in Schedule I hereto for such Property, reduced appropriately, as determined by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller, if less than the entire Property must be tendered), and such interest in such Property will be excluded from the transaction contemplated hereby and the Base Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of the price at which it was so tendered; provided that if such a party who exercises a Preferential Right fails to conclude its purchase of the applicable interest pursuant to such exercise within ninety (90) days following the Closing, then Seller shall notify Buyer and Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to elect to acquire (but shall have no obligation to acquire) such interest for the price at which such party was tendered the same, as provided above, and otherwise on the same terms provided herein.

(d) Covenants to Close. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and as may be required by applicable law, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each individual Seller entitled to vote on matters submitted to Seller’s stockholders authorizing the execution and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) prepare and file, if required, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Preliminary Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or if required by law to obtain the approval contemplated in the foregoing clause (i), a Preliminary Proxy Statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, providing notice of and describing such approval in the manner required by the Exchange Act, the Nevada Revised Statutes and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Seller; (iii) respond promptly to comments delivered by the SEC, if any, with respect to the Information Statement or Proxy Statement, as the case may be; and (iv) deliver the definitive Information Statement or Proxy Statement, as the case may be, to every security holder of each class of equity security that is entitled to vote or give an authorization, proxy or consent in regard to the execution and performance by Seller of this Agreement and take such other actions as may be required by the Exchange Act, Utah law, and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Seller to obtain the approval of shareholders contemplated in the foregoing clause (i) as soon as reasonably practicable.

6. Due Diligence Reviews.

(a) Review By Buyer.

i) Determination of Defects. Buyer may conduct, at its sole cost, such title examinations or investigations, environmental assessments and other

- 14 -

examinations and investigations, as it may in its sole discretion choose to conduct with respect to the Properties in order to determine whether Defects exist. Should, as a result of such examinations and investigations, or otherwise, one or more matters come to Buyer’s attention which would constitute a Defect, and should there be one or more of such Defects which Buyer is unwilling to waive and close the transaction contemplated hereby notwithstanding the fact that such Defects exist, Buyer may notify Seller in writing of such Defects as soon as is practicable but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to Closing (such Defects of which Buyer so provides notice are herein called “Asserted Defects” and such time by which Buyer must notify Seller in writing, the “Defect Claim Date”). Such notification shall include, for each Asserted Defect, (i) a description of the Asserted Defect and the xxxxx and/or units and/or other Property to which it relates, along with all supporting documentation reasonably necessary to fully describe the basis for the Defect, (ii) for each applicable well, unit, or other Property identified pursuant to (i) above, the size of any variance from “Net Revenue Interest” or “Working Interest” which does or could result from such Asserted Defect and (iii) the amount by which Buyer reasonably would propose to adjust the Base Purchase Price based upon the cost to cure or remediate such Asserted Defect. Buyer shall also promptly furnish Seller with written notice of any Title Benefit (below defined) that 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 Properties prior to the Defect Claim Date. If a third party asserts a claim with respect to the Properties, or otherwise alleges the existence of a matter which would be a Defect, Seller shall notify Buyer of such fact promptly, and in any event on or before the earlier of the Closing Date or five days after such assertion; any such matter of which Buyer so receives, or should have received, notice of may be asserted as an Asserted Defect at any time up to Closing.

(b) Nature of Defects. The term “Defect” as used in this Section shall mean the following:

(i) NRI or WI Variances. Seller’s ownership of the Properties is such that, with respect to a well, unit or lease, it (A) entitles Seller to receive a decimal share of the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced from such well, unit, or lease, which is less than the decimal share set forth on Schedule I in connection with such well, unit or lease in the column headed “Net Revenue Interest” or (B) causes Seller to be obligated to bear a decimal share of the cost of operation of such well, unit or lease greater than the decimal share set forth on Schedule I in connection with such well, unit or leas in the column headed “Working Interest” (without at least a proportionate increase in the share of production to which Seller is entitled to receive therefrom).

(ii) Liens. Seller’s ownership of a Property is subject to a lien or other encumbrance other than a Permitted Encumbrance (below defined).

(iii) Imperfections in Title. Seller’s ownership of a Property is subject to an imperfection in title which, if asserted, would cause a Defect, as defined in

- 15 -

subparagraph (i) above, to exist, or would otherwise materially interfere or restrict Buyer’s use, operation, ownership or benefit thereof (as currently used, operated and owned).

(iv) Representation Untrue. Any representation set forth in Section 3 above is not true and correct.

(v) Consents. Seller’s ownership of a Property is subject to a Consent which has not been waived.

(i) Cure. Seller may (but shall have no obligation to) attempt to cure, prior to Closing, one or more Asserted Defects.

(ii) Postpone Closing. Whether or not Seller has then begun to, or ever begins to, cure one or more Asserted Defects (and whether or not Seller has elected option (iii) below with respect to one or more Asserted Defects), Seller may postpone the Closing by designating a new Closing Date not later than September 30, 2007, so that it may attempt to cure one or more Asserted Defects. Notwithstanding any such election to postpone Closing, Seller shall still have no obligation to cure Asserted Defects.

(iii) Adjustment. Notwithstanding any other election made under this Section (without limitation, it being expressly recognized that Seller may attempt to cure Asserted Defects while acting under this election), Seller may elect to have one or more Asserted Defects handled under Section 7 below.

(iv) Dispute Resolution. If, prior to Closing, Seller provides written notice to Buyer that Seller, in good faith, disputes that an Asserted Defect is a Defect, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve such dispute, by negotiation among senior executives of their companies who have authority to settle the controversy, within five (5) business days. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in such time period, then it shall be submitted to expedited binding arbitration in accordance with Section 17(l).

(d) Covered by Representations, Agreements. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth in this Section and any adjustments that may be made to the Base Purchase Price or any exclusions of Properties (in each case) pursuant to Section 7 below and notwithstanding anything in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement (below defined) to the contrary, to the extent that an Asserted Defect or Post-Closing Asserted Defect (as defined in the Post Closing Escrow Agreement) is covered by a representation or indemnification or other agreement of Seller set forth in this Agreement, then such Asserted Defect and/or Post-Closing Asserted Defect shall be deemed a disclosure and exception to such representation or indemnification or other agreement. In no event shall either party be entitled to duplicate compensation with respect to any Defect, Loss or any breach of representation, warranty or agreement herein asserted under the terms of this Agreement, even though such Defect, Loss or breach may be addressed by more than one provision of this Agreement.

- 16 -

(e) Definitions.

(i) As used in this Agreement the term “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean:

(A) lessor’s royalties, non-participating royalties, overriding royalties, reversionary interests, and similar burdens upon, measured by, or payable out of production if the net cumulative effect of such burdens does not (and will not under the existing terms of the documents creating such burdens) operate to reduce the Net Revenue Interest of Seller in any well or unit to an amount less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Schedule I for such well or unit and does not obligate Seller to bear a Working Interest for such well or unit in any amount greater than the Working Interest set forth on Schedule I for such well or unit (unless the Net Revenue Interest for such well or unit is greater than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Schedule I in the same proportion as any increase in such Working Interest);

(B) liens for taxes or assessments not yet due or delinquent;

(D) conventional rights of reassignment;

(E) such Title Defects as Buyer may have waived;

(F) all applicable Laws, and rights reserved to or vested in any governmental authority with respect to the Properties;

(H) easements, conditions, covenants, restrictions, servitudes, permits, rights-of-way, surface leases and other rights in the Properties for the purpose of surface operations, roads, alleys, highways, railways, pipelines, transmission lines, transportation lines, distribution lines, power lines, telephone lines, and removal of timber, grazing, logging operations, canals, ditches, reservoirs, and other like purposes, or for the joint or common use of real estate, rights-of-way, facilities, and equipment which do not materially impair the use, ownership or operation of the Properties as currently owned and operated;

(I) vendors, carriers, warehousemen’s, repairmen’s, mechanics, workmen’s, materialmen’s, construction or other like liens arising by operation of Law in the ordinary course of business or incident to the construction or improvement of any property in respect of obligations which are not yet due;

- 17 -

(J) liens created under leases and/or operating agreements or by operation of Law in respect of obligations that are not yet due;

(K) any encumbrance affecting the Properties which is discharged by Seller at or prior to Closing (including any liens created by the Seller’s Loan Documents);

(L) any matters referenced on Exhibit B;

(M) the Leases and all other liens, charges, encumbrances, Contracts, agreements, instruments, obligations, defects, and irregularities affecting the Properties that (1) individually or in the aggregate are not such as to materially interfere with the ownership, operation or use of any of the Properties (as currently owned and operated), do not operate to reduce the Net Revenue Interest of Seller in any well or unit to an amount less than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Schedule I for such well or unit, (2) do not obligate Seller to bear a Working Interest for such well or unit in any amount greater than the Working Interest set forth on Schedule I for such well or unit (unless the Net Revenue Interest for such well or unit is greater than the Net Revenue Interest set forth on Schedule I in the same proportion as any increase in such Working Interest), and (3) otherwise do not materially affect Buyer’s use, ownership or operation of the Properties (as currently used, owned and operated).

(ii) The term “Seller’s Loan Documents” shall mean any and all indebtedness secured directly or indirectly by the interest of Seller in the Properties with banks or other similar financial institutions.

(iii) The term “Title Benefit” shall mean any right, circumstance or condition that operates to increase the Net Revenue Interest of Seller in any well or unit above that shown for such well or unit, to the extent the same does not cause a greater than proportionate increase in Seller’s Working Interest therein above that shown on Schedule I.

(iv) The term “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another person or entity. The term “control” and its derivatives with respect to any Person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(f) Seller’s Title Benefit Notices. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Buyer on or before the Defect Claim Date with respect to each Title Benefit a notice (a “Title Benefit Notice”) including (i) a description of the Title Benefit and the xxxxx, units and/or other Property to which it relates, along with all supporting documentation reasonably necessary to fully described the basis for the Title Benefit, (ii) for each applicable well, unit or other Property identified pursuant to (i) above, the size of any variance from “Net

- 18 -

Revenue Interest” or Working Interest” which results from such Title Benefit, and (iii) the amount by which Seller would propose in good faith to adjust the Base Purchase Price. Subject to Buyer’s obligation under Section 6(a), Seller shall be deemed to have waived all Title Benefits of which it has not given notice on or before the Defect Claim Date.

(g) Remedies for Title Benefits. With respect to each well or unit affected by a Title Benefit reported under Section 6(a)(i) or Section 6(f), the Base Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the increase in the value set forth in Schedule 1 for such well or unit caused by such Title Benefits, as determined pursuant to Section 7(a).

7. Certain Price Adjustments. In the event that, as a part of the due diligence reviews provided for in Section 6 above, Asserted Defects are raised by Buyer and Seller is unable (or unwilling) to cure such Asserted Defects prior to Closing, or in the event that Seller or Buyer has asserted a Title Benefit, or in the event that Seller has elected (pursuant to Section 14) to treat an Oil and Gas Property affected by a casualty loss as if it was Property affected by an Asserted Defect, then:

(a) Buyer and Seller shall, with respect to each Property affected by such matters, for a period of five (5) business days, attempt, in good faith, to agree upon the existence of any Asserted Defects and/or Title Benefits and, as applicable, an appropriate downward (or upward, in the case of a Title Benefit) adjustment of the Base Purchase Price to account for such matters; provided that if (i) the Alleged Defect is an encumbrance or lien that is undisputed and liquidated in amount, then the downward adjustment to the Base Purchase Price shall be the amount necessary to be paid to remove the Alleged Defect from the affected Property, (ii) the Alleged Defect represents a discrepancy between (A) the Net Revenue Interest for any well or unit and (B) the Net Revenue Interest stated in Schedule I for such well or unit, then the downward adjustment to the Base Purchase Price shall be the product of the amount set forth on Schedule I with respect to such well or unit 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 Schedule I and (iii) the Title Benefit represents a discrepancy between (A) the Net Revenue Interest for any well or unit and (B) the Net Revenue Interest stated in Schedule I for such well or unit, then the upward adjustment to the Base Purchase Price shall be the product of the amount set forth on Schedule I with respect to such well or unit 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 Schedule I; or

(b) with respect to each Property as to which Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the existence of an Asserted Defect and/or Title Benefit and/or an appropriate adjustment with respect to all such matters affecting such Property, then (unless Buyer elects to waive all Asserted Defects with respect to such Property prior to Closing) such Property will be excluded from the transaction contemplated hereby, and the Base Purchase Price will be reduced (or increased in the case of a Title Benefit) by the amount set forth on Schedule I to the xxxxx plus the amount set forth on Schedule I to the units in which such Property participates; and

(c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate downward adjustment to the Base Purchase Price for any title Defect attributable to any Property shall not exceed the amount set forth in Schedule I with respect to such Property.

If the amount of adjustments so determined which would result in a credit to Buyer exceed the amount of adjustments so determined which would result in a credit to Seller, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the net amount of such excess, and if the converse is true, then the amount to be paid by Buyer to Seller at Closing shall be increased by the net amount of such excess. Buyer and Seller shall attempt to agree in good faith upon such adjustments prior to Closing, provided that, if agreement is not reached, the average of the net adjustment resulting from Buyer’s computation and the net adjustment resulting from Seller’s computation shall be used at Closing (subject to further adjustment under subsection (c) and (d) below.

(i) Revised Closing Statement. On or before the ninetieth (90) day following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, in writing, a revised Closing Statement setting forth actual adjustments to Base Purchase Price.

The revised Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt thereof by Buyer (the “Final Settlement

- 25 -

Date”) unless Buyer gives written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Seller prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount and the nature and basis of any disagreement so asserted.

(ii) Final Statement. If the amount of the Purchase Price as set forth on the Final Statement (below defined) exceeds the amount of the estimated Purchase Price paid at the Closing, then Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Purchase Price as set forth on the Final Statement exceeds the amount of the estimated Purchase Price paid at the Closing within five (5) business days after the Final Settlement Date. If the amount of the Purchase Price as set forth on the Final Statement is less than the amount of the estimated Purchase Price paid at the Closing, then Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount by which the Purchase Price as set forth on the Final Statement is less than the amount of the estimated Purchase Price paid at the Closing within five (5) business days after the Final Settlement Date. The term “Final Statement” shall mean (i) if the revised Closing Statement becomes final pursuant to Section 11(c)(i), such revised Closing Statement, or (ii) upon resolution of any dispute regarding a Notice of Disagreement, the revised Closing Statement reflecting such resolutions, which the Parties shall issue, or cause the Accounting Arbitrator (below defined) to issue, as applicable, following such resolution.

(d) Additional Adjustments. Should any additional items which would be the subject of adjustments provided for in subsection (a) above come to the attention of Buyer or Seller after such adjustments under subsection (c) above are concluded, such adjustments shall be made by appropriate payments from Buyer to Seller or from Seller to Buyer.

(e) Accounting Arbitrator. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve the matters addressed in the Notice of Disagreement, each of Buyer and Seller shall within fourteen (14) business days after the delivery of such Dispute Notice, summarize its position with regard to such dispute in a written document of twenty-five pages or less and submit such summaries to the office of Xx X. XxXxxxxxx & Company, LLC, 10807 St. Mary’x Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or such other party as the parties may mutually select (the “Accounting Arbitrator”), together with the Notice of Disagreement, the revised Closing Statement and any other documentation such party may desire to submit. Within twenty (20) business days after receiving the parties’ respective submissions, the Accounting Arbitrator shall render a decision choosing either Seller’ position or Buyer’s position with respect to each matter addressed in any Notice of Disagreement based on the materials described above and based upon the books and records of Seller with respect to the Properties. Any decision rendered by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant hereto shall be final, conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer and will be enforceable against any of the parties in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Assumption and Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity by Buyer. Subject to Seller’s indemnity set forth in Section 12(b) below, effective upon Closing, Buyer (i) assumes, and agrees to timely pay and perform, all duties, obligations and liabilities relating to the ownership and operation of the Properties,

Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation or liability under Section 12(b).

EXHIBIT E

ESCROW AGREEMENT

This ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of , 2007 by and between Apollo Resources International, Inc., a Utah corporation, Mountain States Petroleum Company, a ___ corporation and BC&D Oil and Gas Corporation, a New Mexico corporation (herein collectively called “Seller”) and Imperial Petroleum, Inc. a Nevada corporation (herein called “Imperial” or “Buyer”). and Compass Bank, an Alabama state-chartered bank (the “Escrow Agent”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Imperial and Seller have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated , 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”); unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes;

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement provides that ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (hereafter, the “Holdback Funds”) shall be delivered by Buyer into an Escrow Account established under an Escrow Agreement, which Holdback Funds may be available to Buyer in the event of the discovery of post-Closing Defects or Material Costs (as that term is defined in Section 2(b) below);

WHEREAS, Imperial Seller and Escrow Agent desire to enter this Agreement, being the Escrow Agreement anticipated under the Purchase Agreement as to the Holdback Funds, to memorialize the terms and conditions controlling the disbursement of the Holdback Funds from the Escrow Account.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Escrow Account Established. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, Escrow Agent is appointed as escrow agent by Imperial and Seller and Escrow Agent agrees to act as escrow agent under this Agreement. At Closing, Imperial shall deposit the Holdback Funds with Escrow Agent and Escrow Agent shall retain the Holdback Funds until disbursed pursuant to the further terms hereof. Subject to Escrow Agent’s determination in accordance with Section 5 herein, during the Term (as defined hereafter at Section 16) of this Agreement, the funds on deposit with Escrow Agent shall be invested in Treasury notes, certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks insured by the federal government, or “money market” accounts, in accordance with Whittier’s written instructions provided from time-to-time.

2. Conditions and Procedures for Determining Buyer’s Right to Holdback Funds.

(a) Prior to Closing, Buyer will have conducted a due diligence review pursuant to the terms of Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement and will have provided, as appropriate, notice of Asserted Defects in accordance therewith. Buyer anticipates, however, and Seller expressly acknowledges, that additional due diligence, including, but not limited to, title examination or investigations, environmental assessments and other examinations and assessments may be prudent, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to conduct subsequent to Closing. If subsequent to Closing and prior to expiration of the Term, one or more matters come to Buyer’s attention that would constitute a Defect that Buyer is unwilling to waive, Buyer shall promptly provide written notice to Seller of such Defects (“Post-Closing Asserted Defects”). Such notice shall include, for each Post-Closing Asserted Defect, (i) a description of the Post-Closing Asserted Defect and the xxxxx and/or units listed on Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement or other Property to which it relates, along with all supporting documentation reasonably necessary to fully describe the basis for the Defect, (ii) for each applicable well, unit or other Property identified pursuant to (i) above, the size of any variance from “Net Revenue Interest” or “Working Interest” (as identified on Schedule I) which does or could result from such Post-Closing Asserted Defect, and (iii) the amount Buyer reasonably attributes to the cost to cure or remediate such Post-Closing Asserted Defect. If, subsequent to Closing and prior to expiration of the Term, a third party asserts to Seller a claim with respect to the Properties, or otherwise alleges to Seller the existence of a matter that would be a Defect, Seller shall notify Buyer of such fact promptly, and Buyer may thereafter identify such claim as a Post-Closing Asserted Defect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to Closing, Buyer identified Defects, but did not provide notice of same to Seller as Asserted Defects because such Defects, in the aggregate, were less than the Threshold Amount, then Buyer may not assert any Post-Closing Asserted Defects unless, when combined with Defects identified by Buyer but not asserted prior to Closing, as set forth above, the aggregate amount of such unasserted pre-Closing Defects plus the Post-Closing Asserted Defects is more than the Threshold Amount. If such aggregate amount is less than the Threshold Amount, then no claim for a disbursement by Buyer under this Agreement may be made for any of such Defects. If such pre- and post- Closing Defects exceed in the aggregate the Threshold Amount, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a disbursement under this Agreement for the total amount (as such amount is determined in accordance with the further terms of this Agreement) of all such pre- and post-Closing Defects claimed by Buyer, including those below the Threshold Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not receive a disbursement under this Agreement for any Defect that was asserted as an Asserted Defect prior to Closing and handled in accordance with the procedures outlined in Sections 6 (including dispute resolution) or 7 the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that a Post-Closing Asserted Defect is covered by a representation or indemnification or other agreement of Seller set forth in the Purchase Agreement, then such Post-Closing Asserted Defect, to the extent Buyer is compensated for the Post-Closing Asserted Defect under this Agreement, shall be deemed a disclosure and exception to such representation or indemnification or other agreement. In no event shall Buyer be

entitled to duplicate compensation with respect to any Defect, Loss or any breach of representation, warranty or agreement herein asserted under the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, even though such Defect, Loss or breach may be addressed by more than one provision of this Agreement and/or of the Purchase Agreement. As used in this subsection (a) and elsewhere in this Agreement, “Defect” shall have the meaning given in the Purchase Agreement, except to the extent such definition must necessarily be modified to account for identification subsequent to Closing.

(b) If subsequent to Closing, but prior to expiration of the Term, Buyer discovers conditions that reasonably cause Buyer to expect to incur, or causes Buyer to incur, material costs or liabilities in connection with its operations and/or ownership of the Properties, which arise out of or are the result of a breach by Seller of any obligation under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a disbursement under this Agreement equal to the total amount of such costs and/or liabilities. For purposes of this subsection (b), a cost and/or liability shall be deemed “material” if it causes Buyer to incur costs or expenses or creates a liability against Buyer in an aggregate amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) or more (a “Material Cost”). Buyer shall provide prompt written notice to Seller of a Material Cost as such is incurred or identified which notice shall be in substantially the same form as the notices required of Buyer to assert Pos-Closing Asserted Defects.

(c) In the event Buyer notifies Seller of Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or Material Costs in accordance with this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a disbursement from Escrow Account, according to the further procedures set forth herein, as such claims are claimed from time-to-time hereunder. In the alternative, if Buyer notifies Seller of Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or Material Costs in accordance with this Agreement, then prior to the expiration of the Term, Seller may (but shall have no obligation to) cure or remediate one or more such Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or conditions causing Material Costs.

(d) If, within five (5) business days following Seller’s receipt of notice from Buyer of any Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or Material Costs, Seller provides written notice to Buyer that Seller, in good faith, disputes that a Post-Closing Asserted Defect is a Defect and/or disputes that a Material Cost has been (or will be) incurred, or, in good faith, disputes the value attributed by Buyer to any of the foregoing (for purposes of determining the amount of a disbursement hereunder), Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve such dispute, by negotiation among senior executives of their companies who have authority to settle the controversy, within five (5) business days. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in such time period, then it shall be submitted to expedited binding arbitration by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx of the South Texas College of Law (the “Arbitrator”) who shall determine whether there is a Defect and/or a Material Cost, as appropriate, with the burden being upon Seller to disprove the claim made by Buyer. If the Arbitrator confirms that a Post-Closing Asserted Defect

constitutes a Defect and/or that a claim constitutes a Material Cost, as the case may be, or, if the basis of the dispute submitted to the Arbitrator was determination of the value attributed to a Defect and/or Material Cost, then, based upon information provided by Seller and Buyer, the Arbitrator shall determine the value of the Defect and/or Material Cost, as appropriate, and such amount(s) shall be disbursed to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement. The Arbitrator, in making any determination pursuant to this subsection (d), shall assess the costs of the Arbitrator against that party which the Arbitrator determines should bear such expense given the equities of the disputed claims. Any determinations by the Arbitrator pursuant to this provision shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer.

(e) The provisions of Section 2(d) above shall also apply in the case of a disagreement between Seller and Buyer as to whether Seller has cured or remediated one or more such Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or conditions causing Material Costs.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the parties are unable to agree upon the existence of any Defect pertaining to the title to any Property, Seller may require Buyer to reconvey the Properties affected thereby to Seller. The right of Seller to require reconveyance shall be limited to those Properties selected by Buyer the total value of which does not exceed the amount remaining at that time in the Holdback Funds. The value of the Properties reconveyed to Seller shall be the value allocated to such Properties on Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement (plus the costs incurred by Buyer in operation of the Properties, less the revenues accrued by Buyer with respect to such Properties). Except in the case where Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the value of the Properties to be reconveyed for purposes of this Section 2(f), reconveyance of the Properties to Seller shall constitute full authorization to Escrow Agent to pay the value of the Properties, as such value is reported to Escrow Agent by joint written instruction from Buyer and Seller in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, to Buyer from the Holdback Funds. If Seller and Buyer cannot agree on the value of the Properties to be conveyed, Seller shall not have the right to require reconveyance and Escrow Agent shall have no duty to pay an amount to Buyer under this subsection (f) and any Defect pertaining to title shall be handled under the other provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, (1) Buyer shall not be permitted to assert any Defect pertaining to the title to any Property on or after the 30th day following the date of this Agreement, and (2) no disbursement shall be made to Buyer for any Post Closing Defect and/or Material Cost that Seller elects to cure or remediate prior to the expiration of the Term unless such Post Closing Defect and/or Material Cost is not so cured or remediated on or before the expiration of the Term.

3. Procedures for Determining Disbursement Amounts. With respect to any Post-Closing Asserted Defect or Material Cost, Seller and Buyer, for a period of five (5) business days, shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the value of such Defect or the

amount of such Material Cost, with consideration being given to values attributed to the Properties, or any of them, on Schedule I to the Purchase Agreement. Unless Seller disputes the value of a Defect or the amount of a Material Cost claimed, or if the parties otherwise mutually agree, disbursements pertaining to claims for Defects and Material Costs, as set forth above, shall be the amount(s) claimed by Buyer. The parties shall refer any disputes concerning the above determination of values to the Arbitrator as set forth in Section 2(d) above. If there is no dispute, or upon resolution of any dispute as set forth herein, each of Seller and Buyer agree to execute joint written instructions to Escrow Agent to deliver, within five (5) business days of such notice being provided to Escrow Agent, such portion of the Holdback Funds as is attributed to the agreed (or arbitrated) amounts, and all earnings thereon.

4. Disbursement of Holdback Funds. Escrow Agent shall make disbursements of the Holdback Funds as follows:

(a) To Buyer, within five (5) business days following Escrow Agent’s receipt of the joint written instructions of Seller and Buyer, as provided at Section 3 above.

(b) In the event Seller fails to comply with its obligation to provide written instructions for disbursement in accordance with Section 3 above and the dispute has been arbitrated in accordance with this Agreement, then Escrow Agent shall disburse amounts to Buyer to the extent and in the amount the Arbitrator provides, in his final and binding decision as provided at Section 2(d), that Buyer is entitled to for Post-Closing Asserted Defects and/or Material Costs. Such disbursement shall be made to Buyer within five (5) business days of Escrow Agent being provided with a true and correct copy of the Arbitrator’s final and binding decision, certified by the Arbitrator. However, should the balance of the Holdback Funds be less than the amount(s) specified in the Arbitrator’s final and binding decision, then, the balance of the Holdback Funds shall be disbursed, and Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall forthwith terminate.

(c) Upon termination of this Agreement according to the Term hereof, Escrow Agent shall disburse to Seller, upon joint written instruction of Seller and Buyer, all Holdback Funds, if any, not previously disbursed to Buyer, EXCEPT to the extent of any amounts then pending pursuant to Sections 2(e), 3 or 4(b) hereof. Provided, however, upon the written request of any party received by Escrow Agent prior to termination of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall delay final disbursement until such time as it shall receive joint written instruction from Seller and Buyer that all post-Closing accounting adjustments have been made in accordance with Section 11(c) of the Purchase Agreement, and upon receipt of such joint written instruction, Agent shall disburse all remaining Holdback Funds, if any, as directed in said joint written instruction.

5. Instructions and Disbursement of Earnings. Escrow Agent may not disburse the Holdback Funds or any income therefrom except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make disbursements of the Holdback Funds only as follows: (a) as set forth at Section 4 above; (b) into the registry of the court in accordance with Sections 12, (c) to a successor Escrow Agent under Section 13, and (d) to Escrow Agent as permitted by Section 14 of this Agreement. With respect to any interest or dividends that may be earned on the Holdback Funds, Seller and Buyer agree that it is impractical to anticipate the amounts of interest earned on the Holdback Funds, if any, accordingly, throughout the term of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall communicate the amount of any such earnings to Seller and Buyer as soon as such amounts are known to it, and Escrow Agent will disburse such amounts as directed by Seller and Buyer via joint written instruction.

6. Scope of Undertaking/Reliance/Hold Harmless/Indemnification.


(a)		Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities in connection with this Agreement shall be purely ministerial and shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Escrow Agent is not a principal, participant, or beneficiary in any transaction underlying this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire beyond the terms and provisions of this Agreement except as specifically provided herein. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation of any kind in connection with this Agreement, the Holdback Funds or the Purchase Price Balance, and shall not be required to deliver the Holdback Funds or the Purchase Price Balance or any part thereof, or take any action with respect to any matters that might arise in connection therewith, other than to receive, hold, invest, reinvest, and deliver the Holdback Funds or the Purchase Price Balance as herein provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the parties hereto that Escrow Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility and, accordingly, shall have no duty to, or liability for its failure to, provide investment recommendations or investment advice to any of the parties hereto. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment, any act or omission, any mistake of law or fact, or for anything it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except to the extent of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Escrow Agent shall not be required to use, advance, or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.

(b)		Escrow Agent may rely on, and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting in accordance with any written notice, instruction, or request or other document furnished to it hereunder or pursuant hereto, and believed by it to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Escrow Agent shall only be responsible for holding, investing,


		reinvesting, and disbursing the Holdback Funds or the Purchase Price Balance as provided in this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for any lost profits, lost savings, or other special, exemplary, consequential, or incidental damages in excess of Escrow Agent’s fee hereunder; and provided, further, however, that Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss arising from any cause beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) acts of God, force majeure, including, without limitation, war (whether or not declared or existing), revolution, insurrection, riot, civil commotion, accident, fire, explosion, stoppage of labor, strikes or other differences with employees; (b) the act, failure, or neglect of any other party or any agent or correspondent or any other person selected by Escrow Agent; (c) any delay, error, omission, or default of any mail, courier, or telecopier operator; or (d) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. Escrow Agent is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of the subject matter of this Agreement and any part hereof, for the transaction or transactions requiring or underlying the execution of this Agreement or the form or execution hereof, or for the identity or authority of any person executing this Agreement or any part hereof, or for depositing the Holdback Funds or the Purchase Price Balance.

(c)		Escrow Agent shall be absolved from all liability and responsibility in connection with this Agreement, other than Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and may respond in good faith to (i) any joint directive of Buyer and Seller, (ii) any directive of any one party to make disbursement in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement, (iii) any notice of Buyer or Seller to delay final disbursement in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Agreement, or (iv) any need to return funds to the respective party or parties in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement, without responsibility for the consequences. Buyer and Seller hereby jointly and severally indemnify Escrow Agent, its officers, directors, partners, employees, and agents (each herein called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs, losses, costs, damages and claims, including, but not limited to, costs of investigation, litigation, and arbitration suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with or arising from or out of this Agreement, except such acts or omissions as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party.

(d)		Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and expressly agree that Escrow Agent has not been provided a copy of the Purchase Agreement, is not privy to the Purchase Agreement, and is not a party to the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer agree that Escrow Agent’s rights, privileges, obligations, responsibilities and duties in connection

with the subject matter hereof are to be construed without reference to the Purchase Agreement despite the existence of any provision to the contrary. Seller and Buyer hereby further agree that the provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. Notices. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing, and (a) sent by courier service (with proof of service), hand delivery or certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid) or (b) by facsimile or e-mail transmission provided that any facsimile or e-mail transmission shall be supplemented, by transmission on the same day the e-mail or facsimile is sent, with a copy of such facsimile or e-mail by courier service (with next business day delivery), addressed as follows:

9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed upon any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signature to each were upon the same agreement, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be deemed to be effective and binding as of the date all parties hereto have executed same.

10. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Should (a) any controversy arise involving the parties hereto or any other person, firm, or entity with respect to this Agreement or the Holdback Funds, or any earnings on the Holdback, (b) a substitute escrow agent fail to be designated as provided in Section 12, or (c) if Escrow Agent should be in doubt as to what action to take, Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, either to (i) withhold delivery of the Holdback Funds or any earnings thereon until the controversy is resolved, the conflicting demands are withdrawn, or its doubt is resolved, or (ii) institute a petition for interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties hereto.

13. Resignation. Escrow Agent may resign hereunder upon ten (10) days’ prior notice (the “Initial Notice”) to Seller and Buyer. Upon the effective date of such resignation, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Holdback Funds and all earnings thereon to any substitute escrow agent designated by the Seller and Buyer in writing. If Seller and Buyer fail to designate a substitute escrow agent within ten (10) days after the Initial Notice, Escrow Agent may institute a petition for interpleader. Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate after the Initial Notice and Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after the Initial Notice expires shall be to hold the Holdback Funds (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

14. Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses. Escrow Agent shall charge for its services hereunder in accordance with Escrow Agent’s fee schedule as in effect from time-to- time, and Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all expenses incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and enforcement of its rights hereunder and otherwise in connection with the preparation, operation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, brokerage costs, and related expenses incurred by Escrow Agent. Seller and Buyer shall be jointly liable for and shall pay all such fees and expenses in equal portions; provided, however, Escrow Agent may, in its discretion, charge all of such fees and expenses to Escrow Account if Seller and/or Buyer do not pay same after being billed, but provided that Escrow Agent shall first make reasonable attempts to collect same from Seller and Buyer.

15. Tax Matters. Form 1099 for interest earned on the Holdback Funds, if any, shall be furnished to Seller and Buyer in accordance with such portion of interest disbursed to each such party, respectively, and any tax owing thereon shall be the obligation of the party receiving such interest.

16. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be in effect for three (3) months following the date hereof (“Term”); provided, however, that this Agreement may survive beyond the Term for the limited purpose of allowing Escrow Agent to disburse all Holdback Funds in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof.
