In order to induce Apollo and Apollo LNG to enter into this Agreement, Selling Stockholder covenants, warrants and represents to Apollo and Apollo LNG that each of the following representations and warranties are materially true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and will be materially true and correct on and as of the Closing Date:

Schedule 6.1(a) lists (i) the states and other jurisdictions where each Company is so qualified; and (ii) the assumed names under which each Company conducts business or has conducted business during the past five (5) years. The Governmental Approvals of each Company are now and will be current and valid as of the Closing Date.

Selling Stockholder has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform, or to cause HLDM and Arizona LNG to perform, their or its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery

and performance of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreements to which they are a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and limited liability company action on the part of HLDM and Arizona LNG, respectively. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Selling Stockholder and is a valid and binding obligation of Selling Stockholder, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, and the Collateral Agreements when executed and delivered by the Selling Stockholder, HLDM, or Arizona LNG, as applicable, shall be the valid and binding obligations of such Parties, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity.

The Stock and Member Units listed on Schedule 6.1(c) hereto constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of capital Stock of HLDM and Member Units of Arizona LNG and have been validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have not been issued in violation of any preemptive rights or of any federal or state securities Law and no personal liability is attached to the ownership thereof. There is no security, option, warrant, right, call, subscription, agreement, commitment or understanding of any nature whatsoever, fixed or contingent, that directly or indirectly (i) calls for the issuance, sale, pledge or other disposition of any shares of capital Stock of HLDM or Member Units of Arizona LNG, or any securities convertible into, or other rights to acquire, any shares of capital Stock of HLDM or Member Units of Arizona LNG; or (ii) obligates either of the Companies to grant, offer or enter into any of the foregoing; or (iii) relates to the voting or control of such capital Stock or Member Units, securities or rights, except as provided in this Agreement, or in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of HLDM, or in the limited liability company agreement of Arizona LNG.

(d) Governmental Approvals. Schedule 6.1(d) sets forth all Governmental Approvals held by HLDM and Arizona LNG. To Selling Stockholder’s Knowledge, no Governmental Approvals other than those listed on Schedule 6.1(d) are necessary for the transaction of HLDM’s or Arizona LNG’s business as currently conducted. All such Governmental Approvals are currently in force. No notice of any violation has been received in respect of any such Governmental Approvals and Selling Stockholder has no Knowledge of any proceeding which is pending or threatened that would suspend or revoke or limit any such Governmental Approvals.

(e) Financial Reports. Attached as Schedule 6.1(e) are true and complete copies of (i) a preliminary October 2005 trial balance for HLDM derived from HLDM’s accounting records (the “HLDM Trial Balance”), and (ii) the preliminary unaudited balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flow of Arizona LNG (the “Arizona LNG Financial Statements”) as of September 30, 2005 (the “Balance Sheet Date”). (The HLDM Trial

Balance and the Arizona LNG Financial Statements are collectively referred to herein as the “Financial Reports”).

The Arizona LNG Financial Statements have been prepared in material accordance with and are consistent with the books and records of Arizona LNG, fairly present the financial positions and results of operations of Arizona LNG as of the dates and for the periods indicated, are stated in material conformity with GAAP, consistently applied, except as otherwise clearly and conspicuously stated, and except that they do not contain a full set of footnotes, and can be legitimately reconciled with the financial statements and with the financial records maintained and the accounting methods applied by Arizona LNG for federal income tax purposes.

Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(e), the statements of income included in the Arizona LNG Financial Statements do not contain any material items of special or non-recurring income except as expressly specified therein, and the balance sheet included in the Arizona LNG Financial Statements does not reflect any write-up or revaluation increasing the book value of any assets except as otherwise clearly and conspicuously stated therein.

The Companies have previously supplied to Apollo in conjunction with Apollo’s investigation of the Companies certain forward-looking financial estimates with respect to Arizona LNG (the “Projections”), a description of which is attached here as Schedule 6.1(g). The Projections (and accompanying supporting information), were predicated upon assumptions and subjective judgments (including those provided with the Projections) believed by Selling Stockholder to be reasonable at the time the Projections were prepared, but which may or may not, in fact, prove to be correct. No representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy of such Projections. The Projections and supporting data did not, to Selling Stockholder’s Knowledge, contain any material computational errors. The Projections may in certain instances also contain information regarding the projected potential financial performance of assets and business activities in addition to those of Arizona LNG. The Projections are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other variable and unpredictable factors and accordingly, they are not intended to be construed as an assurance or guarantee that actual financial performance will, in any respect, be as indicated therein.
