Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE 12, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer or any other indemnified party pursuant to Section 12.2 for any Damages in respect of any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 12 if Buyer or the Company has received compensation for such Damages in accordance with Section 8.4.

12.8.

Monetary Limitation

(a)Subject to Section 12.7(b), the indemnifying party in respect of any claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 12 shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party for any Damages:

(i)until the aggregate amount of the indemnified parties' Damages for which the indemnified party is determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 12 exceeds two hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars (US $250,000), after which the indemnifying party shall be obligated for all the indemnified party's Damages for which the indemnified party is determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 12 that are in excess of two hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars (US $250,000); and

12.9.

Procedure for Indemnification – Third Party Claims

(a)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 of any claim against it by any Person, other than the other party and its Affiliates, that is subject to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this ARTICLE 12, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such claim is prejudiced by the indemnified party's failure to give such notice.

(b)If any claim referred to in this Section 12.9 is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in the defence of such claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such claim and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such claim and provide indemnification with respect to such claim), to assume the defense of such claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, acting reasonably, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this ARTICLE 12 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a claim, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Applicable Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. Each indemnified party hereby grants to the indemnifying party, to the extent permitted by law or by the terms of the indemnified party's insurance policies then in force, a right of subrogation to proceed against the particular third party or parties in question, and seek to recover therefrom any amounts to which such indemnifying party may be lawfully entitled.

(c)If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any claim and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of

monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(e)Seller and Buyer, in their capacity as the indemnifying party, hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any indemnified person for purposes of any claim that an indemnified person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on them with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

12.10.

Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

12.11.

Exclusive Remedy

Other than in respect of fraud, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that their respective sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement after the Closing shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 12.

ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT

13.1.

Assignment of Agreement

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may assign its rights to acquire the Shares to a third party who is either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer or (ii) a newly formed entity for which Buyer (or its Affiliates) have engaged in significant formation and financing activities, the purpose of which entity is to acquire the Shares. Seller agrees that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, assign its rights hereunder to purchase the Shares. Prior to Closing, Buyer will notify Seller of any such assignment and the identity of such assignee(s). Upon such notice any such assignee shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with full independent rights to (a) rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and (b) enforce all rights and obligations hereunder, as to the rights to acquire the Shares assigned to such assignee. From and after the date of any notice regarding an assignee, the term "Buyer" shall be deemed to include Valeura Energy Netherlands B.V. and any such assignee(s).

ARTICLE 14

If disclosure is required pursuant to the foregoing, the disclosing party will advise the other party as far in advance as is reasonably possible prior to making the disclosure, and the parties will cooperate in the making of such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller (or their respective Affiliates) may, without prior consultation with the other party, issue a press release or make public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby if the disclosure proposed to be so made, as it relates to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, is substantially the same as disclosure previously consented to by the pursuant to this Section 14.2(a).

The Parties shall cooperate with each other in determining which provisions should be redacted prior to making such filings, with a view to making such redactions to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require any Party to make any redactions not permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements or that would require such Party to make an application to any securities regulatory authorities.

(c)Seller and Buyer will consult with each other concerning the means by which the Company's employees, customers, and suppliers and others having dealings with the Company will be informed of the transactions contemplated hereby and the transition process resulting therefrom, and Buyer will have the right to be present for any such communication.

14.3.

(a)Buyer and Seller will maintain in confidence, and will cause their respective Affiliates and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors to maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another party or the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, unless (i) such information is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information is or becomes publicly available through no fault of such party, (ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the furnishing or use of such information is required by any Applicable Legal Requirement or the request of any Governmental Body, (iv) such information is disclosed to an Affiliate or the party's and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents who need to have knowledge of the confidential information, (v) such information is disclosed to a party's or Affiliates' auditors, legal counsel, lenders, brokers, underwriters, investment bankers and other professional advisers for whom such confidential information would be relevant, or (vi) in the case of Buyer, such information is disclosed in connection with the West Thrace Deep Rights Disposition. Each party shall ensure that any person to whom confidential information is disclosed by it under clause (iv), (v) or (vi) will not disclose such confidential information to any other person if such disclosure would be a breach of this Agreement had such disclosure been made directly by such party and will be liable to the other party hereunder for any disclosure by such person.

(b)Following Closing, the confidentiality obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 14.3(a) will cease to apply to information in respect of the Company.

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirement, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver

or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.
