<PAGE>
7.       WARRANTY OF TITLE
         No party warrants title to its working interest in the Title Documents
         or the Joint Lands. Each party covenants that it has complied with the
         terms of the Title Documents to the extent necessary to keep them in

         enter into this Agreement and represents that it has not, as of the
         Effective Date, received any notice of default in respect thereof. No
         party warrants any better title than it now holds by virtue of the
         Title Documents.

8.       ENCUMBRANCES
         If the interest of a party in the Joint Lands is now or hereafter
         becomes encumbered by any royalty, excess royalty, overriding royalty,

         nature (herein called "encumbrances"), other than the royalties payable
         under the Title Documents to the grantors thereof or as otherwise
         identified herein, such encumbrances shall be charged to and paid
         entirely by the party whose interest is or becomes encumbered. Such
         party shall ensure that any such encumbrances shall either be
         terminated upon that party ceasing to have an interest in the Joint
         Lands so encumbered or shall be assumed by the transferee to which such
         party transfers its interest, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that in no event shall
         a party hereto acquiring an interest in the Joint Lands by virtue of
         the operation of any provision of the body of this Agreement or of the
         Operating Procedure (except for Clause 2401 B of the Operating
         Procedure, where applicable), ever be required to assume any part of
         such encumbrances, and the party which has so encumbered its interest
         shall at all times indemnify and hold the other parties harmless.

9.       FURTHER ASSURANCES
         Each of the parties shall from time to time do such further acts and
         execute and deliver all such further deeds and documents as shall be
         reasonable required in order to fully perform and carry out the terms
         of this Agreement.

10.      MISCELLANEOUS

     a.   If any term or condition of this Agreement conflicts with a term or
          condition in the Title Documents then such term or condition in the
          Title Documents shall prevail and this Agreement shall be deemed to be
          amended to the extent necessary to give effect to such term or

          thereby covered. If any term or condition of this Agreement conflicts

     b.   Wherever any term or condition, express or implied, of any such
          Schedule, including the Operating Procedure, conflicts with or is at
          variance with any term or condition of this Agreement, such term or
          condition of this Agreement shall prevail.

     c.   This Agreement and the relationship between the parties shall be
          construed and determined according to the laws of the Province of
          Alberta. The paties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts
          of the Province of Alberta.

     d.   The terms of this Agreement express and constitute the entire
          agreement between the parties and no implied covenant or liability of
          any kind on the part of the parties is created or shall arise by
          reason of these presents or anything contained in this Agreement.

     e.   This Agreement replaces and supersedes all prior agreements,
          documents, writings and verbal understandings between the parties
          relating to the Joint Lands and the Title Documents.

     f.   Subject to the terms herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
          enure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
          and permitted assigns.
