RECITALS:

A.

NGP1 is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco; Holdco is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of NGPC; and NGPC is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of NGP;

B.

Pursuant to a commitment letter between Glitnir Banki hf (“Bridge Lender”) and NGPC, dated as of July 24, 2007, NGP1 will enter into a loan agreement with Bridge Lender pursuant to which Bridge Lender will make a development loan of up to $20 million to NGP1 (the execution date of such loan agreement, the “Loan Effective Date”);

C.

The parties desire and intend to engage in the contributions described below in Recital C, which are required to be made as a condition to the loans under the loan agreement described above and which will ultimately result in all right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Assets (as defined below) being held by NGP1; and

 

D.

NGP and NGPC desire to transfer and assign, indirectly through a series of capital contributions described herein, all of their interest in the Contributed Assets to NGP1, and NGP1 desires to accept the transfer and assignment of the Contributed Assets as a capital contribution.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be bound legally hereby, covenant and agree as follows:

1.

Definition.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Contributed Assets” means all right, title and interest in and to all of the assets (tangible and intangible), rights, contracts, permits, leases and agreements of NGP and NGPC set forth on Exhibit A and all liabilities, obligations and commitments relating thereto or arising therefrom, in each case, as the same shall exist on the Effective Date.

2.

Capital
  Contribution.  Effective as of the earlier of the execution of an Assignment
  and Assumption of Leases in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and
  the Loan Effective Date (and in any event prior to the execution of the loan
  agreement described in Recital B), and in distinct but immediately succeeding
  transactions, first (a) NGP hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, conveys,
  delivers and contributes to NGPC 

1

all of NGP’s right, title, interest and
  obligations in and to the Contributed Assets, if any, as a capital contribution
  to NGPC and for no other consideration, and (b) NGPC hereby irrevocably accepts
  the transfer, assignment, conveyance, delivery and contribution of all of NGP’s
  right, title, interest and obligations in and to the Contributed Assets as a

  the foregoing, to the extent consent of a third party is required to assign
  any of the Contributed Assets, the parties irrevocably commit to the foregoing
  transactions with respect to such Contributed Assets, but such transactions
  shall not be deemed to have occurred until such consents are obtained. 

3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, NGPC’s or NGP’s, as applicable, right title and interest in such real property and permit interests shall be deemed to have been contributed to NGPC (if applicable) and Holdco pursuant to this Agreement immediately prior to their assignment to NGP1 pursuant to the terms of such assignment documentation.

4.

Enforcement of Rights Under Drilling Contract.  The parties acknowledge that a certain Daywork Drilling Contract, effective as of March 30, 2007, by and between NGPC and ThermaSource, Inc. has been entered into in connection with the Contributed Assets, but such contract is or is expected to soon be fully performed.  NGPC shall, for the benefit of NGP1, use reasonable efforts to enforce any material rights and remedies that may arise after the date hereof under any indemnity or otherwise as set forth in such contract, and shall promptly contribute to NGP1 any proceeds realized as a result of the exercise of such rights and remedies.

5.
