                Exchange Agreement dated November 22, 2006 (the “Agreement”)
                by and among, Manas Petroleum Corporation (formerly known as Express
                Systems Corporation) (the “Company”),
                DWM Petroleum AG (“DWM Petroleum”) and the Exchanging Shareholders
                signatory thereto (each, an “Exchanging
                Shareholder”
                and collectively referred to as the “Exchanging
                Shareholders”)

            


    

     

    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    Defined
      terms not otherwise defined herein (the “Letter
      Agreement”)
      shall
      have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. The undersigned irrevocably agrees
      with the Exchanging Shareholders that, for a period of three (3) years from
      the
      date of the closing of the Agreement (such period, the “Restriction
      Period”),
      the
      undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose
      of, or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably
      be
      expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or
      effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the
      undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with
      the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, directly or indirectly,
      (otherwise than in the filing of a registration statement with the U.S.
      Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company) in respect of, or establish
      or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent
      position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules
      and
      regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares
      of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents beneficially owned, held or
      hereafter acquired by the undersigned (the “Securities”).
      Beneficial
      ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
      Act. In order to enforce this covenant, the Company will impose irrevocable
      stop-transfer instructions preventing the transfer agent from effecting any
      actions in violation of this agreement.

    


    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing and subject to the limitations and requirements of Rule 144 of
      the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), after the date which is a
      full twenty (20) months from the date of the closing of the Agreement ( the
      “Trigger Date”), the restrictions on transfer set forth above shall not apply to
      or restrict the sales an amount of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
      equal to, in the aggregate in any three (3) month period 3% of the total amount
      of Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned excluding any shares
      included in any registration statement filed by the Company as of the Trigger
      Date (the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing limits on
      dispositions are cumulative and may be carried over from quarter to quarter).
      All share amounts shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock
      splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. Additionally,
      the Company may, at any time and at its sole option, remove any and all
      restrictions made pursuant to this Letter Agreement so long such removal applies
      equally to each of the Exchanging Shareholders.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    This
      Letter Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified in any respect without
      the written consent of each of the Company, the Exchanging Shareholders and
      the
      undersigned. This Letter Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
      with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America, without regard
      to the principles of conflicts of laws. The undersigned hereby irrevocably
      submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the provincial and federal courts
      sitting in British Columbia, Canada, for the adjudication of any dispute
      hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
      or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert
      in
      any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
      to
      the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding
      is
      improper. The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
      and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
      by
      receiving a copy thereof sent to the Company at the address in effect for
      notices to it under the Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
      good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The undersigned
      hereby waives any right to a trial by jury. Nothing contained herein shall
      be
      deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted
      by
      law. The undersigned agrees and understands that this letter does not intend
      to
      create any relationship between the undersigned and the Exchanging Shareholders
      and that the Exchanging Shareholders are not entitled to cast any votes on
      the
      matters herein contemplated and that no issuance or sale of the Securities
      is
      created or intended by virtue of this letter.

     

    This
      Letter Agreement shall be binding on successors and assigns of the undersigned
      with respect to the Securities and any such successor or assign shall enter
      into
      a similar agreement for the benefit of the Exchanging Shareholders.
