provided,
that if Shares are being sold under clause (B) above, at a time when the

Environmental
Matters and Abandonment and Reclamation
Obligations

|
(b)
|

not be entitled to exercise and hereby waives any rights or remedies Purchaser
may now or in the future have against Vendor or Dover in respect of such
Environmental Liabilities or the Abandonment and Reclamation Obligations,
whether such rights and remedies are pursuant to the common law or statute or

warranty relating to such matter in section 6.1 or 6.2 as applicable, was untrue
at the date it was made and Purchaser has given notice of such breach to Vendor
within twelve (12) months of Closing. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, the liability of Vendor and Dover and the indemnity hereby
granted by Vendor and Dover in this Article 7 shall only apply with respect to
claims made by Purchaser within twelve (12) months of Closing. The
maximum cumulative liability of the Vendors and Dover to Purchaser pursuant to
sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall not exceed $200,000. The cumulative
liability of the Purchaser to Vendor pursuant to sections 7.3 and 7.4 shall not
exceed $200,000.

to, and shall not merge in, all assignments, transfers, conveyances, novations,
trust agreements and other documents conveying any of the Assets from Vendor to
Purchaser or from Dover to Sea Dragon or any other documents between Vendor and
Purchaser, notwithstanding the terms of such assignments, transfers,
conveyances, novations and other documents, the Regulations or any rule of law
or equity to the contrary, and all such rules are hereby waived.

|
(a)

make
any commitment or propose, initiate or authorize any capital expenditure
with respect to the Assets of which Vendor's share is in excess of

|
(c)
|
amend

shall apply to such operation or the exercise of such right or option
(hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal"):

shall, not later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time Vendor is
required to make its election with respect to the Proposal, advise Vendor,
by notice, whether it wishes Vendor to exercise its rights with respect to
the Proposal on behalf of Purchaser, provided that failure of Purchaser to
make such election within such period shall be deemed to be an election by
Purchaser to participate in the
Proposal;
|
-22-
- -
|
(iii)
|
Vendor
shall make the election authorized by Purchaser with respect to the
Proposal within the period during which Vendor may respond to the
Proposal; and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
election by Purchaser not to participate in any Proposal required to
preserve the existence of any of the Assets shall not entitle Purchaser to
any reduction of the Purchase Price in the event that Vendor's interest
therein is terminated as a result of such election, and such termination
shall not constitute a failure of Vendor's representations and warranties
pertaining to such Assets.
|
8.3
|
Following
Closing
|
|
(a)
|
Following
Closing, Vendor and Dover shall hold their title to the Assets in trust

steps required to transfer such title to Purchaser have been
completed.

(b)
|
Following
Closing, Vendor and Dover shall represent Purchaser in all matters arising
under a Title and Operating Document until Purchaser is substituted as a
party thereto in the place of Dover or Vendor, whether by novation, notice
of assignment or otherwise and, in furtherance thereof all payments
relating to the Assets received by Dover or Vendor pursuant to
the Title and Operating Documents, other than those to which Dover or
Vendor is entitled under Article 4, shall be received and held by Vendor
or Dover as a trustee for Purchaser and Vendor or Dover shall remit such
amounts to Purchaser within a reasonable period of
time.

|
(c)
|
Purchaser
shall indemnify and save harmless Dover and Vendor from and against all of
Vendor's or Dover's Losses and Liabilities arising as a consequence of the

extent caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Vendor or
Dover, or their respective servants, agents or employees and except to the
extent reimbursed to Vendor or Dover by insurance. Vendor and
Dover shall indemnify and save harmless Purchaser from all of Purchaser’s
Losses and Liabilities arising as a result of the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of Vendor or Dover or their respective
servants, agents or employees in connection with Vendor’s and Dover's
obligations under subsections 8.3(a) or (b). Acts or omissions
taken by Vendor or Dover or their respective servants or agents with the
approval of Purchaser shall not constitute gross negligence or wilful
misconduct for purposes of this
subsection.
|
|
(d)
|
Insofar
as Vendor or Dover maintains the Assets and takes actions with respect
thereto on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Article, Vendor or Dover
shall be deemed to have been the agent of Purchaser
hereunder. Purchaser ratifies all actions taken by Vendor or
Dover, or refrained to be taken by Vendor or Dover, pursuant to the terms
of this Article 8 in such capacity during such period, with the intention
that all such actions shall be deemed to be those of
Purchaser.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned hereby tenders this certification to Egypt Oil Holdings Ltd. (the
“Company”) pursuant to
section 6.1(v) of the agreement of purchase and sale (the “Agreement”) dated March 21,
2008, by and between Mogul Energy International Inc., Sea Dragon Energy Inc.,
Dover Investments Limited and the Company, in connection with the distribution
to the undersigned as a shareholder of the Vendor of fully paid up and
non-assessable common shares without nominal or par value in the capital stock
of the Company (the “Shares”) held by the Vendor,
such Shares being acquired by the Vendor from the Company pursuant to the
Agreement. By execution of this certification, the undersigned
acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the accuracy and completeness of
the representations contained herein in complying with its obligations under
applicable securities laws.
1. Undersigned’s
Representations. The undersigned acknowledges and represents
that:
(a) The
undersigned is in a financial position to hold the Shares for an indefinite
period of time and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete
loss of the undersigned’s investment in the Shares;
(b) The
undersigned believes the undersigned, either alone or with the assistance of the
undersigned’s own professional advisor, has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the undersigned is capable of reading and
interpreting financial statements and evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment in the Shares and has the net worth to undertake such
risks;
(c) The
undersigned has obtained, to the extent the undersigned deems necessary, the
undersigned’s own personal professional advice with respect to the risks
inherent in the investment in the Shares, and the suitability of an investment
in the Shares in light of the undersigned’s financial condition and investment
needs;
(d) The
undersigned believes that the investment in the Shares is suitable for the
undersigned based upon the undersigned’s investment objectives and financial
needs, and the undersigned has adequate means for providing for the
undersigned’s current financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need
for liquidity of investment with respect to the Shares;
(e) The
undersigned has been given access to full and complete information
regarding the Company and has utilized such access to the
undersigned’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information regarding
the Company;
(f) The
undersigned recognizes that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree
of risk, including, but not limited to, the risk of economic losses from
operations of the Company;
(g) The
undersigned realizes that (i) the purchase of the Shares is a long-term
investment; (ii) the purchaser of the Shares must bear the economic risk of
investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the
securities laws of any state and, therefore, none of such securities can be sold
unless they are subsequently registered under said laws or exemptions from such
registrations are available; (iii) the undersigned may not be able to
liquidate the undersigned’s investment in the event of an emergency or pledge
any of such securities as collateral for loans; and (iv) the
transferability of the Shares is restricted and (A) requires the written
consent of the Company and (B) legends will be placed on the certificate(s)
representing the Shares referring to the applicable restrictions on
transferability; and
(h) The
undersigned certifies, under penalties of perjury, that the undersigned is not subject to the backup
withholding provisions of section 3406(a)(i)(C) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Note: you are subject to backup
withholding if (i) you fail to furnish your Social Security number or
taxpayer identification number herein; (ii) the Internal Revenue Service
notifies the Company that you furnished an incorrect Social Security number or
taxpayer identification number; (iii) you are notified that you are subject
to backup withholding; or (iv) you fail to certify that you are not subject
to backup withholding or you fail to certify your Social Security number or
taxpayer identification number.).
(i) The
undersigned is a bona fide resident of, is domiciled in and received the offer
and made the decision to invest in the Shares in the state set forth on the
signature page below, and the Shares are being purchased by the undersigned in
the undersigned’s name solely for the undersigned’s own beneficial interest and
not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the beneficial interest of, or with
the intention to transfer to, any other person, trust or
organization.
(j) The
undersigned has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws and that such securities are
being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws and that the
Company’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on the
undersigned’s representations as contained herein. The undersigned
represents and warrants that the Shares are being purchased for undersigned’s
own account and for investment and not with a view to distribution of the
Shares, that the undersigned has made no agreement with others regarding any of
the Shares and that the undersigned’s financial condition is such that it is not
likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Shares in the
foreseeable future. The undersigned is aware that, in the view of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Shares with an intent to
distribute by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated
change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in
connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained
for the acquisition of the Shares and for which the Shares were pledged, would
represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth
above. The undersigned further represents and agrees that if,
contrary to the undersigned’s foregoing intentions, the undersigned should later
desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Shares in any manner, the
undersigned shall not do so without first obtaining (i) the opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer
lawfully may be made without registration pursuant to the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or (ii) registration of the Shares under
the Securities Act (it being expressly understood that the Company shall not
have any obligation to register the securities for such purpose);
2. Entities. If
this purchase is made on behalf of a corporation, trust, partnership, limited
liability company or other form of business entity (an “Entity”), the undersigned
signatory certifies that he or she is empowered and duly authorized by the
Entity to execute and carry out the terms of this Certification of Investment
Intent and to purchase and hold the Shares, and certifies further that this
Certification of Investment Intent has been duly and validly executed on behalf
