qualified to do business and in good standing in the
State of Texas. Reef International is a limited
liability company formed under the laws of the State
of Texas and is duly qualified to do business and in

(ii) Due Authorization. Seller has full power to enter
into and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and has taken all proper action to authorize entering
into this Agreement and performing its obligations
hereunder.
(iii) Approvals. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, nor the compliance with the
terms hereof, will result in any default under any
agreement or instrument to which Seller or Reef is a
party, or violate any order, writ, injunction,
decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
Seller or Reef.
(iv) Valid, Binding and Enforceable. This Agreement
constitutes (and the Assignment provided for herein
to be delivered at Closing will, when executed and
delivered, constitute) the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with
its terms.
(v) Litigation. Except as disclosed on the disclosure
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D (the
"Disclosure Schedule"), there are no pending suits,
actions, or other proceedings (including arbitration
proceedings) in which Seller and Reef, or either of
them, are a party (or, to Seller's knowledge, which
have been threatened to be instituted against Seller
and/or Reef) which affect Seller and/or Reef in any
material respect or affect the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(vi) Financial Statements. Exhibit E sets forth the
consolidated, unaudited balance sheets of Seller and
Reef as of December 31, 2002, and the related
statements of income and retained earnings, together
with the notes thereto (collectively, the "Financial
Statements"). The December 31, 2002 balance sheet is
3
hereinafter referred to as the "Balance Sheet." The
Financial Statements, together with all other
financial statements of Seller and/or Reef delivered
by Seller to Buyer, are correct and complete in all
material respects and fairly present the consolidated
financial position, results of operations and
stockholders' equity of Seller and/or Reef as of the
dates and for the periods indicated. The Financial
Statements delivered to Buyer were prepared in a
manner consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied.
(vii) Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. As of the Closing
Date, Seller and Reef will not have any liabilities
or obligations, secured or unsecured, accrued or
contingent, known or unknown, except for the lawsuit
set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and except as
and to the extent reflected or reserved against in
the most recent of the Financial Statements or as
disclosed in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto;
and, Seller does not know of any valid basis for the
assertion against them of any such liability or
obligation.
(viii) Interim Operations. Since the date of the Financial
Statements, the business of Seller and Reef has been
conducted only in the ordinary and usual course
consistent with past practice. Since the date of the
Balance Sheet, there have not been, to the best of
Seller's information and belief, any material adverse
changes in the financial condition, assets or results

Reef are not aware of any circumstances unique to
them which may cause either of them to suffer any
material adverse change in their respective

State of Texas necessary to construct,
implement, own, operate, manage, and
maintain the Liquids Project, and (ii) are

(c) Reef International is in full compliance
with all terms and conditions of the
Permits, the failure with which to comply
would have a materially adverse effect on

International is currently operated, or (ii)
the Project. Seller and Reef International,
or either of them, have not received any
notice of any past, present or future events
or conditions which may interfere with
continued compliance with the Permits.
4

(a) Company and Reef have duly filed all tax
reports and returns required to be filed and
have duly paid all taxes and other charges
due or claimed to be due by federal, state,
local or foreign taxing authorities.
(b) The reserves for taxes reflected in the
Balance Sheet, if any, are reasonably
believed by Seller to be adequate and there
are no tax liens upon Reef, or any of its
assets, except liens for current taxes not
yet due.
(c) No issue has been raised by the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") in any
examination of Reef's or Seller's federal
income tax returns which reasonably could be
expected to result in a proposed deficiency
for any period not so examined by the IRS.
Furthermore, no state of facts exists or has
existed which would constitute grounds for
the assessment of any tax liability against
Reef or Seller with respect to the periods
which have not been audited by the IRS.
(xi) Liens and Encumbrances. The assets of Reef are free
and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Further,
there are no claims, pending liabilities or
contingent liabilities against Reef or Seller not set
forth on the Disclosure Schedule which could
adversely affect the Properties and/or Sold Interest
from and after the Effective Time.

not:

take possession of all or substantially of
their assets;

seizure of all or substantially all of their
assets;

Seller as the same come due, except for (i)
those creditors and amounts set forth on
Exhibit C which will be paid from the
Purchase Price at Closing; and (ii) those
creditors of Reef who are owed monies
allocable to the calendar year 2003, which
creditors and amounts are set forth on
Exhibit F hereto and will be paid by Buyer,
on behalf of Reef Ventures.
(xiii) Employment Liabilities. The Sold Interest can be
transferred to Buyer at Closing free and clear of any
employment contract attendant to the operation and
maintenance of Reef.

and effect and constitute all contracts necessary to
meet gas purchase and delivery commitments
contemplated in the Gas Project.

Project. Further, neither Seller nor Reef has entered
any marketing agreement, transportation agreement or
other contractual arrangement respecting the Liquids
Project as of the Effective Time.
(xvi) Violations of Law. Reef is not in violation of any
statute, law, rule or regulation or any judgment,
order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
tribunal in any jurisdiction or any public,
governmental or regulatory body, agency, department,
commission, board, bureau, or other authority
(domestic or foreign) which would adversely affect
the Project, and no material expenditures are, or
based on present requirements will be, required of
Reef in order for it to comply or remain in
compliance with any such laws, statutes, rules,
regulations, orders, judgments, writs, injunctions or
decrees. Seller and Reef have not received any
notification of any asserted present or past failure
by Reef to comply with any such law, rule, regulation
or other requirements.

any obligation, contract, plan or arrangement, which
default or defaults would, singly or in the

collectively referred to as the "Buyer Group"), from and
against any and all claims, actions, causes of action,
demands, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments,
settlements, penalties, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), of any nature
whatsoever (collectively, "Damages"), asserted against,
resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by the Buyer Group,
directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any
breach by Seller of Seller's representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement
(collectively, "Buyer Claims"), to the extent and only to the
extent that such Buyer Claims arise and are communicated in
writing to Seller prior to the expiration of the four-year
anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) any claim which
relates to, arises from or is associated with Reef and/or the
Project for periods prior to the Effective Time, to the extent
and only to the extent that such claim arises and is

(b) Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall and does hereby
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Reef and Seller, and their
respective subsidiary companies, partners and other
affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, contractors and agents (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Seller Group"), from and
against any and all Damages asserted against, resulting to,
imposed upon or incurred by the Seller Group, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from any breach by Buyer
of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement (collectively, "Seller
Claims"), to the extent and only to the extent that such
Seller Claims arise and are communicated in writing to Buyer
prior to the four-year anniversary of the Closing Date.
(c) Limitation on Liability. The indemnification obligations of
the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject
to the following limitations:
(i) The amount of Damages required to be paid by any
party to indemnify any other party pursuant to this
Section 7(c) as a result of any Seller Claim or any
Buyer Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any
amounts actually received by such other party after
the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the
insurance policies (if any) covering such claim.
(ii) The indemnification obligations of the parties
pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to actual
Damages and shall not, except in the case of a
willful breach of this Agreement, include incidental,
consequential, indirect, punitive, or exemplary
Damages, provided that any incidental, consequential,

recoverable under such indemnity.
(d) Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an

commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party under such Section, give written notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure so
to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party with
respect to such action. In case any such action shall be
brought against an indemnified party and it shall give written
notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such

the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to
participate in the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party
elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such
action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the
defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the
expense of the indemnifying party.
