The cost of any such Title Consultant shall be borne                  fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by                  Buyer.  Each Party shall present a written statement of its                  position on the Title Defect and/or Title Defect Value in question                  to the                  Title Consultant within five (5) days after the Title Consultant                  is                  selected, and the Title Consultant shall make a determination of                  all                  points of disagreement in accordance with the terms and conditions                  of this                  Agreement within ten (10) business days of receipt of such position                  statements.

If necessary,                  the Closing Date shall be deferred only as to those Assets affected                  by any                  unresolved disputes regarding the existence of a Title Defect and/or                  the                  Title Defect Value until the Title Consultant has made a determination                  of                  the disputed issues with respect thereto and all subsequent dates                  and                  required activities with respect to any such Assets having reference                  to                  the Closing Date shall be correspondingly deferred; provided, however,                  that, unless Seller and Buyer mutually agree to the contrary, the                  Closing                  Date shall not be deferred in any event for more than thirty (30)                  days                  beyond the scheduled Closing Date in Section 3.1.

In evaluating whether a                  Title Defect exists, due consideration shall be given to the length                  of                  time that the particular Asset has been producing Oil and Gas and                  whether                  such fact, circumstance or condition is of the type expected to                  be                  encountered in the area involved and is usual and customarily acceptable                  to reasonable and prudent operators, working interest owners and/or                  purchasers engaged in the business of the exploration, development,                  and                  operation of oil and gas                  properties. |

| (i) | adjust                  the Base Purchase Price in the amount of the Title Defect Value                  of the                  Asset to which such Title Defect relates and proceed to Closing                  on all                  Assets; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to transfer                  any Assets                  for which the Title Defect Value equals or exceeds such Asset’s Allocated                  Value; or |

| (ii) | proceed                  with (a) Closing on those Assets not affected by the valid Title                  Defects                  and such Assets to which a Title Defect relates but for which Seller                  has                  elected to proceed to Closing with an adjustment of the Base Purchase                  Price in the amount of the Title Defect Value of such Assets and                  (b) defer Closing on those other Assets to which a Title Defect                  relates and for which Seller has elected to attempt to cure such                  Title                  Defect and to not proceed to Closing, for which Buyer shall place                  into                  escrow an amount equal to the Allocated Values of the Assets affected                  by                  the valid Title Defects, which withheld amount shall be paid to                  Seller                  when the Asset affected by any valid Title Defect is cured or the                  Title                  Defect is waived by Buyer and the affected Asset is conveyed from                  Seller                  to Buyer.  If neither of the above occurs and if Seller later                  determines it will not cure a Title Defect on or before six (6)                  months                  from the Closing Date, the amount in the escrow account attributable                  to                  such Title Defect will be returned to Buyer and Seller shall retain                  such                  Asset affected by such Title                  Defect. |

| (B) | The                  diminution in value of an Asset attributable to a valid Title Defect                  (the                  “Title Defect Value”) notified in a Notice shall be determined by the                  following: |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (i) | if                  the valid Title Defect asserted is that the actual Net Revenue                  Interest                  attributable to the producing or valued formation in any Asset                  is less                  than that stated in the applicable Exhibit, then the Title Defect                  Value is                  the product of the Allocated Value attributed to the affected formation(s)                  in such Asset, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which                  is the                  difference between the Net Revenue Interest set forth in the applicable                  Exhibit and the actual Net Revenue Interest, and the denominator                  of which                  is the Net Revenue Interest stated in the applicable Exhibit;                  or |
|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (ii) | if                  the valid Title Defect represents an obligation, encumbrance, burden                  or                  charge upon the affected Asset (including any increase in Working                  Interest                  for which there is not a proportionate increase in Net Revenue                  Interest),                  the amount of the Title Defect Value is to be determined by taking                  into                  account the Allocated Value of such Asset, the portion of the Asset                  affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect,                  the                  potential economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of                  the                  affected Asset, and the Title Defect Values placed upon the Title                  Defect                  by Buyer and Seller. |

| (iii) | Notwithstanding                  the above, in no event shall the total of the Title Defect Values                  related                  to a particular Asset exceed the Allocated Value of such                  Asset. |

| (C) | If                  the aggregate value of (i) the Base Purchase Price adjustment for                  Title Defect Values plus (ii) the Allocated Value of Assets which are                  retained in lieu of cure or adjustment equals or exceeds ten percent                  (10%)                  of the Base Purchase Price, then by notice delivered prior to the                  Closing                  either Party may terminate this Agreement and neither Party shall                  have any                  further obligation to conclude the transfer of the Assets under                  this                  Agreement. |

| (i) | If                  any preferential right to purchase any portion of the Assets is                  exercised                  prior to the Closing Date, or if the time frame for the exercise                  of such                  preferential purchase rights has not expired and Seller has not                  received                  notice of an intent not to exercise or waiver of the preferential                  purchase                  right, that portion of the Assets affected by such preferential                  purchase                  right shall be excluded from the Assets and the Purchase Price                  shall be                  adjusted downward by an amount equal to the Allocated Value of                  such                  affected Assets without the requirement for Buyer to give notice                  (with                  such adjustment being an “Exclusion Adjustment”). Notwithstanding any                  other provision in this Agreement, if a preferential purchase right                  subject to this Agreement is exercised, Buyer has the right, at                  its sole                  discretion, to terminate this Agreement, provided that the allocated                  value                  of all preferential rights exercised is equal to or exceeds ten                  percent                  (10%) of the Base Purchase Price. |

| (ii) | If                  a third party exercises its preferential right to purchase, but                  fails to                  consummate the purchase prior to the Closing, Seller shall retain                  the                  affected Assets and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward                  by an                  amount equal to the Allocated Value of such affected Assets (with                  such                  adjustment being an “Exclusion                  Adjustment”). |

| (iv) | If                  a preferential purchase right is not discovered prior to Closing,                  and the                  affected Asset is conveyed to Buyer at Closing, and the preferential                  purchase right is exercised and subsequently consummated after                  Closing,                  Buyer agrees to convey such affected Assets to the party exercising                  such                  right on the same terms and conditions under which Seller conveyed                  such                  Assets to Buyer and retain all amounts paid by the party exercising                  such                  preferential right to purchase.  In the event of such exercise,                  Buyer shall prepare, execute and deliver a form of conveyance of                  such                  Asset to such exercising party, such conveyance to be in form and                  substance as provided in this Agreement, and Seller agrees to hold                  harmless and indemnify Buyer from any and all liabilities and obligations                  associated with such conveyed Asset, and to reimburse Buyer for                  reasonable                  expenses incurred by Buyer relating to the conveyed                  Asset. |

| (C) | Exclusive                  Remedy. |
|-----|------------------------------------|

| (A) | Buyer                  acknowledges that the Assets have been used for oil and gas drilling                  and                  production operations and possibly for the storage and disposal                  of waste                  materials or hazardous substances related to standard oil field                  operations.  Physical changes in or under the Assets or adjacent                  lands may have occurred as a result of such uses.  The Assets                  also may contain previously plugged and abandoned wells, buried                  pipelines,                  storage tanks and other equipment, whether or not of a similar                  nature, the                  locations of which may not now be known by Seller or be readily                  apparent                  by a physical inspection of the Assets.  Buyer understands that                  Seller does not have the requisite information with which to determine                  the                  exact nature or condition of the Assets nor the effect any such                  use has                  had on the physical condition of the Assets.  Pursuant to the                  Safe Water Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, Buyer is                  hereby                  notified and assumes the risk that detectable amounts of chemicals                  known                  to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm may                  be found                  in, on or around the Assets.  Upon consummation of the Closing                  Buyer shall be deemed to have assumed the risk of expense, claim,                  damage                  or liability arising from any such matter referred to in this section,                  including without limitation the risk that the Assets may contain                  waste or                  contaminants and that adverse physical conditions, including the                  presence                  of waste or contaminants, may not have been revealed by Buyer’s                  investigation.  Consummation of the Closing shall transfer all                  responsibility and liability related to disposal, spills, waste                  or                  contamination from, on or below the Assets from Seller to                  Buyer. |

| (B) | In                  addition, Buyer acknowledges that some oil field production equipment                  located on the Assets may contain asbestos and/or naturally-occurring                  radioactive material (“NORM”).  In this regard, Buyer expressly                  understands that NORM may affix or attach itself to inside of wells,                  materials and equipment as scale or in other forms, and that wells,                  materials and equipment located on the Assets described herein                  may contain                  NORM and that NORM-containing materials may be buried or have been                  otherwise disposed of on the Assets.  Buyer also expressly                  understands that special procedures may be required for the removal                  and                  disposal of asbestos and NORM from the Assets where it may be found,                  and                  that upon consummation of the Closing Buyer shall be deemed to                  have                  assumed all liability when such activities are                  performed. |

Buyer shall immediately provide to Seller any data                  obtained from such assessments, including any reports and                  conclusions.  Seller and Buyer shall keep all information                  relating to such assessments strictly confidential whether or not                  Closing                  occurs, except as may be required pursuant to any Environmental                  Laws. |

| (B) | Buyer                  waives any Adverse Environmental Condition for which Buyer has                  received an                  adjustment to the Base Purchase Price in accordance with Section                  6.4(A). |

| (E) | The                  term “Remediate” or “Remediation” means, with respect to any valid Adverse                  Environmental Condition, the undertaking and completion of those                  actions                  and activities necessary to eliminate or correct such Adverse                  Environmental Condition to the degree sufficient that such Adverse                  Environmental Condition no longer constitutes an Adverse Environmental                  Condition as defined above.  Seller shall promptly notify Buyer                  at such time as it believes that it has Remediated an Adverse                  Environmental Condition.  Buyer shall promptly notify Seller                  whether it agrees such condition is Remediated.  If Buyer fails                  to notify Seller of its determination with respect to such Remediation                  within ten (10) business days following Seller’s notice, such Adverse                  Environmental Condition shall be deemed                  Remediated. |

| (F) | If                  Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on the amount of the Environmental                  Defect Value within ten (10) business days after Seller’s receipt of the                  Environmental Defect Notice or that an Adverse Environmental Condition                  exists, has been Remediated or is required to be Remediated, then                  the                  dispute will be submitted to a mutually acceptable company with                  recognized                  expertise in the oil and gas environmental remediation and regulation                  field (the “Environmental Consultant”) whose determination shall be final                  and binding upon the Parties.  Seller and Buyer shall each bear                  their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with                  any such                  dispute, and one-half (1/2) of the fees, costs and expenses charged                  by the                  Environmental Consultant.  Each Party shall present a written                  statement of its position on the Adverse Environmental Condition                  and/or                  the Environmental Defect Value in question to the Environmental                  Consultant                  within five (5) business days after the Environmental Consultant                  is                  selected, and the Environmental Consultant shall make a determination                  of                  all points of disagreement in accordance with the terms and conditions                  of                  this Agreement within ten (10) business days of receipt of such                  position                  statements.  If necessary, the Closing Date shall be deferred                  only as to those Assets affected by any unresolved disputes regarding                  the                  existence of an Adverse Environmental Condition and/or the Environmental                  Defect Value until the Environmental Consultant has made a determination                  of the disputed issues with respect thereto and all subsequent                  dates and                  required activities with respect to any such Assets having reference                  to                  the Closing Date shall be correspondingly deferred; provided, however,                  that, unless Seller and Buyer mutually agree to the contrary, the                  Closing                  Date shall not be deferred in any event for more than thirty (30)                  days                  beyond the scheduled Closing Date in Section 3.1.  All Assets as                  to which no such dispute(s) exist shall be conveyed to Buyer subject                  to                  the terms of this Agreement at Closing.  Once the Environmental                  Consultant’s determination has been expressed to both Parties, if                  applicable, Seller shall have five (5) business days in which to                  advise                  Buyer in writing which of the options available to Seller under                  Section                  6.4(A) Seller elects regarding each of the Assets as to which the                  Environmental Consultant has made a                  determination. |
