2.02 Transfer of ownership. Ownership rights in the Properties will remain with KLE and Sellers will be transferring their respective ownership rights in KLE. KLE will have the assets and liabilities as set forth on Exhibit B (as defined the Assumed Assets and Liabilities), with net changes in the worth of these assets and liabilities only to occur in the normal course of business during the period of operation prior to acquisition of the Limited Liability Interests by Purchaser.

2.03 Transfer free from charge. Interests tendered will be acquired on the terms of the offer, free from charges and encumbrances not specifically set forth in this Agreement, together with all rights attaching thereto.

2.05 Recommendation/Consent. KLE is a member managed limited liability company and therefore does not require the consent of any managing member. The sale of any member's limited liability interest requires the consent of a majority of the non-selling members. As there are only two members, the execution of this Agreement by both members shall constitute the requisite consent as required under applicable Kentucky law and the KLE operating agreement as well as any recommendation of sale by KLE's interest holders.

ARTICLE 3 – THE CLOSING; PURCHASE PRICE

3.01 Closing and Final Closing. The Closing shall occur upon execution of this Agreement which may be held in escrow pending final due diligence and arrangements for funding the Purchase Price. The Final Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall occur after June 1, 2005 and before August 31, 2005 at Purchaser's election. At the Final Closing, on the Closing Date, all rights to the Interests of Sellers in KLE shall be assigned, transferred and conveyed to Purchaser in exchange for the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 3.02, including the delivery of the agreed shares in Purchaser and cash in accordance with the Closing Procedure set out in Exhibit A.

3.02 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price is Twelve Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and no cents ($12,250,000) in a tax-free exchange (if applicable) of the Limited Liability Interest of Sellers for Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand (7,500,000) common shares (at an agreed upon value of $1.50 per share) in Wentworth stock and the payment of $1,000,000 (less the aggregate amount already paid to Buyer pursuant to the option agreement) in cash payable as follows: one-third (1/3) of the balance due at Closing payable on or before June 1, 2005, one-third (1/3) of the balance due at Closing payable on or before July 1, 2005 and the remaining one-third of the balance due at Closing on or before August 1, 2005 all of which shall be paid into an escrow account to be set up specifically for this purpose at Central Bank and Trust Company, a financial institution, located in Lexington, Kentucky. Therefore, on the Closing Date at the Final Closing, Purchaser shall purchase all of the Limited Liability Interests and associated rights for a price of Twelve Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and no cents ($12,250,000). Sellers, at their sole option, may elect to receive, in lieu of cash at Final Closing, an additional Six Hundred and Sixty Six Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Seven (666,667) common shares of Wentworth stock (valued for purposes of this Agreement at $1.50 per share), minus an amount of common shares equal to the amount of payments previously paid pursuant to the Option Agreement, divided by $1.50, with such election to be exercised in writing within one business day of the Closing Date.

3.02(a) At the Final Closing, Wentworth will also issue Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand (7,500,000) shares of Wentworth common stock (valued at $1.50 per share only for purpose of the exchange) to Sellers in the proportions of their ownership of the Limited Liability Interest in further exchange for the acquisition of the Limited Liability Interest and in satisfaction of Eleven Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and no cents ($11,250,000) of the Purchase Price which exchange shall be deemed a tax-free exchange.

3.02(b) At the Final Closing, if Wentworth is unable to make the payment of the cash portion of the Purchase Price as provided in section 3.02 ($1,000,000 less the amount of payments already made pursuant to the Option Agreement) it shall be at Sellers' sole option, whether to elect to take the entire Purchase Price in shares of Wentworth (valued for purposes of this Agreement at $1.50 per share) or declare the Agreement null and void. In electing to declare the Agreement null and void, Sellers shall retain the Option Amount as its sole liquidated damages.

3.03 Post Acquisition Cooperation. The Purchaser and Sellers, post acquisition, shall exert all efforts to increase the probability of prevailing in any existing and future litigation and in exploring, developing and leasing the Properties with the intent to bring them into production.

3.04 Representation to the Board of Directors. Sellers and Purchaser agree that, post Closing, it will be in the parties' interest to have at least two former members of KLE on the Board of Directors of Purchaser. It is therefore the expressed intention of the parties to make the necessary arrangements to propose to the annual general meeting of Purchaser to elect two new members to the Board of Directors of Purchaser reflecting the shareholders situation post-acquisition. To the extent possible, by a written consent of a majority of the Wentworth shareholders, the two (2) newly-appointed board members will be Xxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxx, and their appointment will be ratified, if necessary, at the next Annual General Meeting of the shareholders.

3.05 Total Number of Wentworth Shares Outstanding. Wentworth warrants that it shall have no more than twenty-five (25) million shares of common stock outstanding after the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the subsequent financing for the exploration and development of the Properties. Any subsequent issuance of additional Wentworth common stock shall be accomplished such that there shall be equal dilution of the ownership immediately after the final closing and issuance of the seven million five hundred thousand (7,500,000) shares to Sellers.
