**ARTICLE
      III**




**PURCHASE
      PRICE AND PAYMENT**




**3.1** **Purchase
      Price.** Subject
      to adjustment as set forth below, the aggregate purchase price
      paid by the Buyer to the Sellers for the Interests shall be Nine Million Eight
      Hundred Four Thousand
      Eight Hundred Thirty-Nine Dollars ($9,804,839) less the sum of (a) Partnership
      Debt and
      (b)
      adjustments in accordance with Section
      3.3 (the "Purchase
      Price"). The
      Buyer
      shall pay the Purchase Price at Closing in cash, by wire transfer as directed
      by
      the Sellers, and such Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers in
      the
      manner set forth on Exhibit
      B.




3.2 **Additional
      Consideration.**




(a)
      Following each Reserve Determination Date, Buyer shall have prepared and
      delivered to Sellers and Sellers shall have prepared and delivered to Buyer
      a
      Reserve Report setting
      forth the PDP Reserves and Proved Reserves in each CVR Well that is producing
      as
      of the
      Reserve Determination Date. In addition to the Purchase Price, Buyer shall
      pay
      to Sellers additional consideration for the CVR Wells ("Additional
      Consideration"), which
      additional





14




consideration
      shall be calculated, with respect to any Reserve Determination Date, in the following
      manner:




(i)  First, a
      value
      shall be determined for each CVR Well based upon




the
      following formula:




((AxB)+(CxD))xB where




A
      = the
      sum of (i) the MCFE of PDP Reserves for the CVR Well in the Reserve
      Report, and (ii) the MCFE of all production from the CVR Well since the
      Effective Time.




B  $3.00
      or,
      if Section
      3.2(d) applies,
      the Adjusted PDP Price.




C
      =  the
      MCFE
      of all Proved Reserves, other than PDP Reserves, for the CVR




Well
      in
      the Reserve Report.




D
      =  $3.00
      or,
      if Section
      3.2(d) applies,
      the Adjusted Proved Price.




E=  The
      lesser of (i) .35 or (ii) the working interest, expressed as a
      percentage,




retained
      by EBS in the CVR Well.




(ii) Second, the
      aggregate value of all CVR Wells shall be determined by
      adding
      together all of the individual values for each CVR Well determined in Section 3
      .2(a)(i).




(iii)  Third, the
      cumulative Additional Consideration Offsets shall be subtracted from the value
      obtained in Section
      3.2(a)(ii); provided, however,
      that the calculations set forth in this Section
      3.2(a) shall
      be
      made in a manner such that the entire amount
      of
      deductions for Additional Consideration Offsets shall be applied solely against the
      Additional Consideration payments allocable to the Class A Limited Partners,
      in accordance
      with their relative percentage ownership percentages as set forth in Exhibit
      B, and
      payments of Additional Consideration to the Class B Limited Partners shall
      not
      be affected by Additional Consideration Offsets.




(iv)  Fourth, the
      cumulative value of Additional Consideration previously
      paid to Sellers shall be subtracted from the value obtained in Section 3
      .2
      (a)(iii).




(b)
      In
      determining the volumes of MCFE to be used in calculating the Additional
      Consideration, the average of the Proved Reserves and PDP Reserves in the
      Reserve Report
      prepared by the reserve engineer of each Party shall be utilized, provided
      that
      in no event shall
      the
      average ever exceed 125% of the Proved Reserves or PDP Reserves stated in the Reserve
      Report prepared by Buyer's reserve engineer. Unless otherwise approved by the
      other Party,
      Buyer shall use NSAI as their reserve engineer and Sellers shall utilize one
      of
      the reserve





15




engineering
      firms set forth on Exhibit
      M. All
      Reserve Reports shall be prepared in good faith utilizing reporting standards
      mandated by the SEC and each Party shall be responsible for the costs and
      expenses associated with the preparation of the Reserve Reports by their
      respective reserve
      engineers. In the event a Party fails to deliver a Reserve Report in a timely
      manner, such Reserve
      Report shall be disregarded, and the MCFE volumes in the other Party's Reserve
      Report shall
      be
      applied for purposes of this Section
      3.2.




(c)  The
      Additional Consideration, if any, shall be allocated among Sellers in the
      manner set forth on Exhibit
      B (subject
      to necessary adjustments among the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iii)),
      and
      shall be paid to Sellers (i) within thirty (30) days following the applicable
      Reserve Report Delivery Date for any Additional Consideration paid in the form
      of WHT
      Stock
      and (ii) within ten (10) days following the applicable Reserve Report Delivery
      Date for
      any
      Additional Consideration paid in cash (in each case, referred to as an "Additional
      Consideration Payment Date"). In
      no
      event will Buyer be required to make any payments of Additional Consideration
      prior to the Closing.




(d)  In
      the
      event EBS has commenced drilling of CVR Wells on or before the final
      Reserve Determination Date but it is not reasonably possible to complete a
      Reserve Report prior
      to
      the applicable Reserve Report Delivery Date, an additional Reserve Determination
      Date of
      not
      later than August 31, 2006, shall be permitted upon written request of the
      Sellers, provided, however,
      (i) such additional Reserve Determination Date shall be permitted only with respect
      to CVR Wells for which EBS has commenced drilling on or before June 30, 2006,
      and for
      which
      no Reserve Report has been delivered on or before the final Reserve Report
      Delivery Date,
      and
      (ii) any payments of Additional Consideration relating to such Reserve
      Determination Date
      shall be computed using the Adjusted PDP Price or the Adjusted Proved Price,
      as
      the case may
      be.




(e)
      The
      Additional Consideration following the first two Reserve Determination
      Dates shall be comprised of sixty percent (60%) WHT Stock and forty percent (40%)
      cash; and after the final Reserve Determination Date, the Additional
      Consideration shall be
      comprised of a combination of WHT Stock and cash such that the total
      consideration paid to Sellers
      under this Agreement, including the Purchase Price and all Additional
      Consideration payments, shall be comprised of fifty percent (50%) WHT Stock
      and
      fifty percent (50%) cash; provided, however,
      Buyer may, in its sole discretion and based upon its own forecasts, adjust
      the
      ratio of WHT Stock to cash paid as Additional Consideration after any Reserve
      Determination Date as necessary to achieve a final composition of fifty percent
      (50%) WHT Stock and fifty percent (50%) cash for the total consideration paid
      to
      Seller under this Agreement.




The
      number of shares of WHT Stock to be issued as Additional Consideration shall
      be
      calculated as follows:




S=
      V I P




where




S
      =
      number of shares of WHT Stock





16


value
      of
      Additional Consideration to be comprised of WHT Stock






P
      =   the
      average of the Closing Price of WHT Stock for the twenty (20)




trading
      days following the applicable Reserve Determination Date




(f)  After
      the
      Closing, neither EBS nor Buyer shall have any obligation whatsoever to finance
      or otherwise contribute to the development of CVR Wells other than through
      the
      sale by EBS, through the Principals' marketing efforts, of interests in CVR
      Wells. Buyer
      shall have the option, but shall have no obligation, to fund CVR Wells subject
      to the Lease
      Bank Agreement in the manner set forth in the Lease Bank Agreement. In addition,
      Buyer shall
      have the option, but shall have no obligation, to fund twenty-five percent
      (25%)
      of CVR Wells
      not
      subject to the Lease Bank Agreement on standard partnership terms. Neither
      EBS
      nor Buyer
      shall be subject to any liability to Sellers on the basis of EBS's or Buyer's
      refusal to provide
      financing or any other support relating to the development of CVR
      Wells.




(g)  The
      Sellers acknowledge that from and after the Effective Time, the Principals
      shall bear sole responsibility, subject to Buyer's participation options set
      forth above, for
      securing financing for and developing, on behalf of EBS, all of the CVR Wells
      through the sale
      of
      interests in the CVR Wells to third parties. It is the Parties' intention that
      the proceeds of EBS's
      sales, through the Principals' sales efforts, of interests in CVR Wells will
      be
      sufficient to cover EBS's share of all drilling and completion costs in the
      CVR
      Wells. For each CVR Well, Westside
      will maintain a ledger comparing (i) the proceeds EBS has received, from and
      after the Effective
      Date, from the sale of interests in such CVR Well (the "CVR
      Promote Proceeds") with (ii)
      the
      drilling and completion costs actually paid by EBS from and after the Effective
      Date in respect of EBS's retained interest in such CVR Well (the "CVR
      Costs"), which,
      for each CVR Well,
      shall result in either an excess of CVR Promote Proceeds over CVR Costs (a "CVR Surplus") or
      an
      excess of CVR Costs over CVR Promote Proceeds (a "CVR
      Deficiency"). In
      the event
      of
      a CVR Deficiency for any CVR Well, the Class A Limited Partners shall pay to
      EBS
      an amount
      equal to such CVR Deficiency, reduced by the cumulative amount of any CVR Surpluses,
      to the extent not previously taken into account for purposes of this sentence,
      on CVR Wells
      previously completed (the "Net
      CVR Deficiency"). If
      the
      Class A Limited Partners should
      fail to pay EBS the full amount of any Net CVR Deficiency, the CVR Well in
      question will no longer constitute a CVR Well for all purposes of this Section
      3.2.




**33** **Purchase
      Price Adiustments/Post-Closing Settlement.** The
      Purchase Price




shall
      be
      adjusted as follows:


(a) The
      Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by the following ("Sellers' Credits"):




(1)
      the
      value of (i) all Inventory Hydrocarbons, such value to be based upon
      the
      prevailing market value for crude oil in effect as of the Effective Time
      adjusted for grade
      and
      gravity, less taxes and transportation fees deducted by the purchaser of such
      oil, such oil
      to be
      measured at the Effective Time by the operators of the Properties; and (ii)
      the
      value of all
      of
      EBS's unsold inventory of gas plant products, if any, attributable to the Leases
      at the Effective
      Time valued in the same manner as if such products had been sold;
      and





17




(2)
      the
      amount of any ad valorem, property, production, severance and similar
      taxes and assessments on the Properties paid by EBS after the Effective Time
      (but prior to
      the
      Closing) and attributable to the ownership of the Properties during the period
      after the Effective Time or attributable to production that occurs after the
      Effective Time.




(b)  The
      Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by the following




("Buyer's
      Credits"):




(1)  the
      total
      sales value of all Hydrocarbons sold by EBS after the Effective
      Time, all of which are attributable to the Properties, and any other monies
      collected by EBS
      with
      respect to the ownership or operation of the Properties after the Effective
      Time, to the extent such monies are distributed or otherwise transferred by
      EBS
      to the Sellers prior to the Closing;




(2)  the
      amount of any ad valorem, property, production, severance and similar
      taxes and assessments on the Properties paid by EBS after the Effective Time
      and
      attributable to the ownership of the Properties during the period prior to
      the
      Effective Time or attributable to production that occurs prior to the Effective
      Time;




(3)
      the
      amount of any net working capital deficit, as shown on the Financial
      Statements, excluding (A) all amounts with related parties, and (B) purchase
      price adjustment amounts taken into account in other paragraphs of this Section
      3.2(b); and




(4)  the
      Allocated Value of any Casualty Loss affecting any of the




Properties
      or any portion thereof.




(c)
      Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, at least fifteen (15) days prior
      to
      Closing, Sellers' estimate of the adjusted Purchase Price to be paid at Closing,
      together with a preliminary statement setting forth Sellers' estimate of the
      amount of each adjustment to the Purchase Price to be made pursuant to this Section
      3.3. On
      or
      before Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall
      mutually prepare and agree to a closing statement substantially in the form
      set
      forth on Exhibit
      L
      evidencing the amount actually wire transferred and all adjustments to the
      Purchase Price
      taken into account at Closing, including all of the Buyer's and Sellers' Credits
      set forth in this Section
      3.3 (the "Settlement
      Statement"). The
      Settlement Statement shall be applied in determining the Purchase Price to
      be
      paid to Sellers at Closing.




(d)
      Within 120 days after Closing, Buyer shall provide to Sellers, for Sellers'
      concurrence, an accounting (the "Post
      Closing Settlement Statement") of
      the
      actual amounts of Sellers'
      and Buyer's Credits for the adjustments set out in this Section 3.3. Within
      thirty (30) days
      after receipt of such statement from Buyer, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer
      a
      written report containing all of Sellers' proposed changes to such statement
      with explanations therefor, it being agreed
      that Sellers' failure to deliver such report to Buyer within such time period
      shall constitute
      acceptance by Sellers of Buyer's statement (unless failure is a result of
      Buyer's failure to
      provide necessary information or data to Sellers in a timely manner). Except
      for
      the changes raised by Sellers in their written report, no additional changes
      to
      the statement provided by Buyer shall
      be
      considered by the Parties. If Sellers have timely delivered such written report,
      the Parties shall
      then undertake to agree on the items in dispute and the adjusted Purchase Price
      no later than





18




thirty
      (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of the Post Closing Settlement Statement.
      The Parties shall
      attempt to resolve any disagreements **on** a
      best
      efforts basis. **In** the
      event
      such disagreements
      cannot be resolved, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration by either
      Party
      pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. The difference between
      the final determination
      of the Purchase Price set forth on the final Post Closing Settlement Statement
      and that
      set
      forth on the Settlement Statement shall be added to or subtracted from, as
      the
      case may be,
      Additional Consideration payments following the date of such final
      determination. Buyer will
      prepare any information reasonably requested by Sellers in order for Sellers
      to
      prepare such statement
      or verify Buyer's written report. Notwithstanding any provision in this
      Agreement to the contrary, any Party may, at its own cost and expense, engage
      third party consultants for the purpose of preparing and reviewing the Post
      Closing Settlement Statement and determining the final Purchase Price
      adjustments under this Article
      III.

**ARTICLE
      VI**




**TITLE
      MATTERS**




**6.1** **Notice
      of Title Defect.** Westside
      shall notify Sellers in writing as soon as reasonably
      practicable after Westside has knowledge thereof, and in any event on or before
      the final
      Reserve Determination Date, of any matter that would cause EBS's title to any
      or
      all of the Properties
      not to be Marketable Title ("Title
      Defect"), in
      each
      case together with an explanation of
      (a)
      the nature of such Title Defect, (b) the Properties (or portions thereof)
      affected thereby, and
      (c)
      Westside's proposed Defect Value (as hereinafter defined) for such Title Defect.
      Any matters that would otherwise constitute Title Defects but which are not
      specifically raised in writing
      (with the explanation as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence)
      by Westside
      prior to the final Additional Consideration Payment Date shall conclusively
      be
      deemed waived
      by
      Westside.





23




**6.2** **Remedies
      for Title Defects.**






(a)  Buyer
      shall be entitled to an Additional Consideration Offset for any Title Defects
      at any time on or before the final Additional Consideration Payment Date. A
      notice requesting
      an Additional Consideration Offset for Title Defects must be timely and in
      writing and include appropriate documentation to substantiate the adjustment,
      or
      Buyer will be deemed to
      have
      waived its claim to such offset.




(b)  If
      Buyer
      gives notice under the previous section, the Parties will meet and use
      their
      best efforts to agree on the validity of the claim and, if applicable, the
      amount of the adjustment (the "Defect
      Value"), using
      the
      following criteria:




(1)
      If
      the claim is based on EBS owning a different net revenue interest in a
      Property than that shown on Exhibit
      D with
      respect to such Property, then the
      adjustment will be the absolute value of the number determined by the following
      formula:




Adjustment
      = A x (1-[ **B** /C])




A
      =
      Allocated Value for the affected interest




B
      =
      Correct net revenue interest for the affected interest




C
      = Net
      revenue interest for the affected interest as shown on Exhibit
      D




(2)
      If
      the claim is based on any other obligation or burden, the adjustment will
      be
      the sum necessary to compensate Buyer for the adverse economic effect
      on
      the affected Property.




(c)  If
      the
      Defect Value cannot be determined based on the above criteria, and if
      the
      Parties cannot otherwise agree on the Defect Value or the Parties are unable
      to
      agree upon whether
      a
      Title Defect exists, subject to the provisions of Article
      6.2(d) below,
      the Parties may elect to resolve the dispute under the arbitration provisions
      in
      this Agreement.




(d)  No
      Additional Consideration Offset for Title Defects shall be made unless and
      until
      the aggregate value of all Title Defects (herein called the "Aggregate
      Title Defect Value") exceeds
      a
      threshold of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and once the threshold
      is exceeded, all Defect Values shall be considered in applying this Article
      VI. Defect Values
      with an agreed individual value of less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00)
      shall not be
      included in the calculation of the Aggregate Title Defect Value. For purposes
      of
      this section, the
      cost
      to cure a Title Defect shall not be considered in determining Aggregate Title
      Defect Value.




(e)
      Sellers may, at their sole option, notify Westside at any time within ten (10)
      business days after receiving notice from Buyer of a Title Defect that they
      elect to cure some
      or
      all of such Title Defects. No Additional Consideration Offset will be applied
      for Title Defects
      that Sellers cure. If any Title Defect is not cured within thirty (30) days
      after Sellers so





24




notify
      Westside of their intention to cure, an Additional Consideration Offset will
      be
      applied as described in Section
      3.2.

      before proceeding on such matter.




**7.5** **Consent
      and Waiver.** Each
      Seller hereby consents to all transaction contemplated
      under this Agreement and waives application of any provision in any of the
      EBS Credit

**ARTICLE
      IX**




**INDEMNIFICATION**




**9.1** **Buyer's
      Indemnity.** Buyer
      shall indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and against
      any and all Losses arising out of or otherwise relating to (1) the breach by
      Buyer of any representation,
      warranty or covenant herein set forth, or (2) the ownership of EBS after the
      Closing.




**9.2** **The
      Principal Parties' Indemnity.** The
      Principal Parties shall indemnify and hold
      EBS
      and the Buyer Group harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out
      of
      or otherwise
      relating to (1) the breach by Sellers of any representation, warranty or
      covenant herein set
      forth
      or (2) the ownership of EBS prior to the Closing (a "Seller
      Indemnified Loss").




**9.3** **Indemnification
      Procedures.** In
      the
      event that any claim for which a Party providing
      indemnification (the "Indemnifying
      Party") would
      be
      liable to the other Party (the "Indemnified
      Party") is
      asserted against or sought to be collected by any third person, the Indemnified
      Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, specifying
      the
      nature of such claim and the amount of the estimated amount thereof to the
      extent then feasible (which
      estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) (the "Indemnity
      Claim Notice"). The
      Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Claim
      Notice (the "Indemnity
      Notice Period") to
      notify
      the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes its liability to the
      Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim, and (ii) if it does
      not
      dispute such liability, whether or not it desires, at its sole cost and expense,
      to defend the
      Indemnified Party against such claim; provided however, that the Indemnified
      Party is hereby authorized
      prior to and during the Indemnity Notice Period to file any motion, answer
      or
      other pleading, submission or document which it shall deem necessary or
      appropriate to protect its interests. In the event that the Indemnifying Party
      notifies the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity
      Notice Period that it does not dispute such liability and desires to defend
      against such claim,
      then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such claim by
      appropriate





30




proceedings,
      which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted to a final conclusion,
      in such
      a
      manner as to avoid any risk of the Indemnified Party becoming subject to
      liability. If the Indemnified
      Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or
      settlement, it may do
      so at
      its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against
      such claim
      for
      which it is liable, whether by not giving timely notice as provided above or
      otherwise, the
      Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to defend against
      such claim, and
      the
      amount of any resulting Losses (including, without limitation, court costs
      and
      attorneys' fees)
      incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, shall be
      conclusively deemed to be the liability of the Indemnifying Party
      hereunder.




**9.4** **Buyer's
      Sole Remedy.** Buyer's
      sole remedy in the event of a Seller Indemnified Loss
      shall be recovery of any such Losses by way of an Additional Consideration
      Offset, except where
      such Seller Indemnified Loss is the result of gross negligence, fraud, or
      willful neglect on the
      part
      of any Seller.




**9.5** **Survival
      of Indemnity.** Each
      Party's indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall
      survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the Final Additional Consideration
      Payment Date.




**ARTICLE
      X**




**ARBITRATION**




**10.1** **Selection
      of Arbitrators.** Except
      as
      to any matter requiring the agreement of the Parties,
      as provided in this Agreement, and except for the right of either Party to
      apply
      to a court of
      competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary
      injunction, or other equitable
      relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, any controversy
      or failure to
      agree
      between the Parties hereto arising under this Agreement and not resolved by
      agreement shall
      be
      determined by a board of arbitration upon notice of submission given by either
      Party to the other, which notice shall name a qualified, impartial, and
      independent arbitrator. Within ten (10)
      days
      after the receipt of such notice, the other Party shall name a qualified,

      Within twenty-five
      (25) days after sending the original notice of submission the two arbitrators
      so
      appointed shall name the third qualified, independent arbitrator, or failing
      to
      do so, the third arbitrator may be appointed by the Senior Judge (in service)
      of
      the United States District Court serving Houston, Texas.




**10.2** **Determination.** The
      arbitrators selected to act hereunder shall be qualified by a minimum of twenty
      (20) years experience in the oil and gas industry to pass on the particular question
      in dispute. The arbitrators shall promptly hear and determine (after due notice
      of hearing
      and giving the Parties a reasonable opportunity to be heard) the questions
      submitted, and shall
      render their decision within sixty (60) days after appointment of the third
      arbitrator. If within
      said period a decision is not rendered by the board, or majority thereof, new
      arbitrators may
      be
      named and shall act hereunder at the election of the Parties in like manner
      as
      if none has been
      previously named.




**10.3**  **Decision
      Binding.** The
      decision of the arbitrators, or the majority thereof, made




in
      writing shall be final, binding and non-appealable upon the Parties hereto
      as to
      the questions





31




submitted,
      and Buyer and Sellers will abide by and comply with such decision. The expenses
      of arbitration,
      including reasonable compensation of the arbitrators, shall be borne equally
      by
      the Parties
      hereto, except that each Party shall bear the compensation and expenses of
      its
      own counsel,
      witnesses, and employees.




**ARTICLE
      XI**




**MISCELLANEOUS**




**11.1** **Amendment.** The

      a
      court of competent jurisdiction determines that any clause or provision
      of this Agreement is void, illegal, or unenforceable, the other clauses and

      Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the clauses and provisions
