      2.01.          Purchase
      Price.  As consideration for the purchase, sale and assignment of
      the Membership Interests to Buyer, at Closing, as defined herein, Buyer will
      cause the Company to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Seller a production
      payment, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the
“Production Payment”), pursuant to which the Company shall pay
      to Seller fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds, as defined below,
      attributable to the Company’s interest, whether now owned or acquired within
      five (5) years after the Closing, in the subject Leases, including any renewals
      or extensions thereof, until such time as Seller has received an amount equal
      to
      the Payment Amount, as defined below.

     

    Section
      2.02.          Production
      Payment Amount.

     

    (a)            As
      used herein, the “Payment Amount” means US$1,072,258.22, being
      the sum of:

     

    (i)           US$878,987.56,
      such amount being the “Sunk Costs”, as defined in the
      Participation Agreement, paid by the Company with respect to the Leases, plus
      interest thereon at 8% per annum from the date such Sunk Costs were paid by
      the
      Company to October 22, 2007; and

     

    (ii)           US$193,270.66
      (the Discovery Share Amount”), such amount being equal to
      1,000,000 (being the number of Entek Discovery Shares, as defined in the
      Participation Agreement, granted to Ridgelake under the Participation Agreement)
      multiplied AUD$0.22 (being the volume weighted average opening price of the
      ordinary shares of Entek Energy Limited as traded on the Australian Stock
      Exchange Limited during the immediately preceding five (5) trading days prior
      to
      execution of this Agreement), converted into U.S. Dollars using a conversion
      factor of US$0.878503 to AUD$1.00 (such conversion factor being the 12 noon
      buying rate on October 22, 2007 as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of
      New
      York).

     

    (b)            As
      used herein, “Net Proceeds” means all amounts actually received
      by the Company from the sale or other disposition of oil, gas or other
      hydrocarbons produced from or otherwise allocable to the subject Leases, after
      deduction of any royalties and other burdens on production therefrom which
      are
      existing as of the date hereof and any production, severance, or other similar
      taxes applicable thereto.

     

    (c)            The
      Sunk Costs paid by the Company as of the date hereof with respect to each Lease
      are as follows:

    (d)            The
      Production Payment shall be a non-recourse obligation of the Company payable
      solely out of proceeds of production from the Leases burdened thereby; provided,
      however, that if prior to receiving an assignment from Ridgelake with respect
      to
      any Lease, the Company assigns it rights under the Participation Agreement
      with
      respect to such Lease to a third party, then Buyer shall immediately pay to
      Seller an amount equal to the Sunk Costs attributable to such Lease (plus
      interest thereon as provided above), and upon receipt thereof, Seller shall
      execute and deliver to Buyer a release of the Production Payment with respect
      to
      such Lease.  Net Proceeds received by Seller attributable to a Lease
      shall be applied first to the Sunk Costs with respect to such Lease, and
      thereafter to the Discovery Share Amount.  At such time as the Net
      Proceeds paid to Seller and applied toward the Discovery Share Amount are equal
      to the Discovery Share Amount, all further payments of Net Proceeds attributable
      to a Lease shall be applied to any remaining Sunk Costs with respect to such
      Lease until payments of Net Proceeds attributable to such Lease and applied
      to
      Sunk Costs for such Lease equal the Sunk Costs (plus interest thereon as
      provided above) for such Lease.  At that time, the Production Payment
      shall automatically terminate as to such Lease only, and Seller shall, upon
      request, deliver to Buyer a partial release of the Production Payment, executed
      and acknowledged by Seller, evidencing such partial termination.

      third party Claims asserted against any Buyer Party, arising out of or in

      obligation in the Participation Agreement with respect to the Entek Discovery
      Shares is terminated or released, then Seller shall have no further indemnity
      obligation hereunder.

      by any person or entity or by any administrative agency or governmental
      authority pending against the Seller or the Company in any legal, administrative

      on
      the Company.

     

    (g)            Taxes.  There
      are no claims against the Company for any Taxes (or against Seller with respect
      to any Tax for which any of the Company may be liable), and no assessment,
      deficiency or adjustment has been asserted, proposed, or threatened with respect
      to any such Tax.  The Company has been treated as a disregarded entity

      not.

     

    (h)            Preferential
      Rights and Required Consents.  Except as set forth on Exhibit
      B attached hereto, there are no rights or agreements that may permit any
      person or entity to purchase or acquire the Membership Interests that are
      triggered by the transactions contemplated herein, and there are no material
      required consents, approvals or authorizations of, or notifications to, any
      person or entity (excluding any of the foregoing customarily obtained following
      Closing), in each case, that are applicable to the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

     

    (i)             Compliance
      with Laws.  The Company is in compliance in all material respects
      with all applicable laws.

     

    (j)             Contracts.  The
      Participation Agreement (including all exhibits thereto) is the only contract
      or
      agreement to which the Company is a party.  The Participation
      Agreement is
      in
      full force and effect and no default or breach (or event that, with notice
      or
      lapse of time or both, would become a default or breach) thereof has occurred
      or
      is continuing on the part of the Company or, to Seller’s knowledge, any other
      party thereto.  Seller has delivered to Buyer or made available to
      Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of the Participation
      Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (k)            Planned
      Future Commitments.  Except as set forth on Exhibit B
      attached hereto, as of the date hereof, (i) there are no outstanding authorities
      for expenditures (“AFEs”) or other commitments to make capital
      expenditures that are binding on the Company, and (ii) there are no outstanding
      AFEs under the Participation Agreement as to which the Company has not made
      (or
      been deemed to have made) an election.

     

    (l)             Non-Consent
      Operations.  Except as set forth on Exhibit B, the Company
      has not gone “non-consent” or failed to participate in the drilling of any well
      or other operation under the Participation Agreement which has caused the
      Company to suffer a penalty or loss or forfeit any of its interests in any
      of
      the Leases.

     

    (m)           Capitalization.  The
      Membership Interests comprise one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and
      outstanding membership interests in the Company and are owned beneficially
      and
      of record by Seller, free and clear of all liens and
      encumbrances.  There are no outstanding or authorized options,
      warrants, subscriptions, calls, puts, conversion or other rights, contracts,
      agreements, commitments or understandings of any kind respecting the Membership
      Interests obligating Seller or the Company to issue, sell, purchase, return,
      redeem or pay any distribution or dividend with respect to any membership or
      other ownership interest in the Company.  All of the Membership
      Interests have been duly authorized, validly issued, and were issued in
      compliance with all applicable federal and state laws.

     

    (n)            Subsidiaries.  The
      Company has no subsidiaries and does not own any direct or indirect equity
      interest in any person or entity.

     

    (o)            Employee
      and Employee Benefits.  The Company does not have, nor has the
      Company  ever had, any employees or employee benefit
      plans.

     

    (p)            Assets
      and Business.  The assets of the Company consist solely of its
      interest in the Participation Agreement and any rights or interests arising
      from
      or relating thereto.  The Company has not engaged in any business
      other than in connection with the Participation Agreement.

     

    (q)            Liabilities.  The
      Company does not have any existing, contingent, or threatened liabilities or
      obligations.

    Section

      and Warranties.  Buyer represents and warrants to Seller
      that:

     

    (a)            Formation.  Buyer
      is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
      laws of the State of Nevada, and is duly qualified to carry on its business
      in
      all jurisdictions in which such qualification is required by law except where
      the failure to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Buyer’s
      ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer has
      full legal power, right and authority to carry on its business as such is now
      being conducted and as contemplated to be conducted.

     

    (b)            Authorization.  Buyer
      has the legal power and right to enter into and perform this Agreement and
      the
      transactions contemplated hereby. The consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement will not violate, or be in conflict
      with:

     

    (i)            
      any provision of Buyer’s governing documents;

     

    (ii)           
      any material agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by which
      Buyer
      or its assets are bound; or

     

    (iii)           any
      judgment, order, ruling, decree, law, rule or regulation applicable to
      Buyer.

     

    (c)            Execution.  The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions
      contemplated hereby are duly and validly authorized by all requisite action
      on
      the part of Buyer. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
      obligation of Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
      same
      may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws relating to or affecting
      the rights of creditors generally, and by general equitable
      principles.

     

    (d)            Brokers.  No
      broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee, or to any
      commission, based in any way on agreements, arrangements or understandings
      made
      by or on behalf of Buyer.

     

    (e)            Bankruptcy.  There
      are no bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings pending, being
      contemplated by or to the best of Buyer’s knowledge threatened against
      Buyer.

     

    (f)             Suits
      and Claims.  There is no suit, action, written claim or proceeding
      by any person or entity or by any administrative agency or governmental
      authority pending against the Buyer in any legal, administrative or arbitration
      proceeding or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer that could
      materially affect Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
      herein.

     

    (g)            Independent
      Evaluation.  Buyer acknowledges that it is an experienced and
      knowledgeable investor in the oil and gas business, and the business of
      purchasing, owning, developing
      and operating oil and gas properties.  In making the decision to enter
      into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
      Buyer has relied solely upon its own independent due diligence investigation
      of
      the Company, the Membership Interests and the Participation Agreement and it
      has
      been advised by and has relied solely on its own expertise and its own legal,
      tax, financial and other professional counsel and advisors concerning this
      transaction.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (h)            Acquisition
      not for Distribution.  Buyer is acquiring the Membership Interests
      for its own account and not with a view to, or for offer of resale in connection
      with, a distribution thereof, within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
      15 U.S.C. § 77a et seq., and any other rules, regulations, and laws
      pertaining to the distribution of securities.

    Section
      10.09.        Counterparts.  This
      Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts with the same effect
      as if

      this Agreement.

     

    Section
      10.11.        Severability.  If

      affected in any materially adverse manner to the other party.

     

    Section
      10.12.        Expenses.  All

    Section
      10.13.       CONSPICUOUSNESS/EXPRESS

      AROSE SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE,
      STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF DUTY (STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER FAULT OF

      with any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the breach
      hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.14 does
      not diminish or otherwise affect the parties’ rights and obligations to be
      indemnified against, and provide indemnity for, indirect, consequential,
      punitive or exemplary damages awarded to any third party for which
      indemnification is provided in this Agreement or Seller’s right to receive
      liquidated damages.

      interest in SMI 152, subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof;

                days
                prior to the anticipated commencement date for such Operations, and
                thereafter shall pay its respective Cost Share of all costs and expenses

    ADDITIONAL
      CONSIDERATION

    

    (Note:  In
      this Article II, Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
      the
      meanings assigned to them in Exhibit “E.”)

     

    
      	
               

            	
              2.1

            	
              As
                additional consideration for its participation in the prospects developed
                by Ridgelake on the Leases, GulfX has procured the issuance to Ridgelake
                and/or its designee(s) of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000)
                Discovery Shares (the “GulfX Discovery Shares”) in GulfX Limited, an
                Australia company (“GulfX Limited”), the terms of which are specified in
                Exhibit “E-1” attached hereto.

            

    

     

    Likewise,
      as additional consideration for its participation in the prospects developed
      by
      Ridgelake on the Leases, South Marsh has procured the issuance to Ridgelake
      and/or its designee(s) of (i) One Million (1,000,000) Discovery Shares (the
      “Entek Discovery Shares”) in Entek Energy Ltd. (“Entek”), the terms of which are
      specified in Exhibit “E-2” attached hereto; and (ii) Three Hundred Thousand
      (300,000) options (the “Options”) in Entek or any successor by name change,
      merger or other corporate action, the terms of which are specified in Exhibit
      “E-3” attached hereto.

    

    The
      GulfX
      Discovery Shares and Entek Discovery Shares are collectively referred to herein
      as the “Discovery Shares.”

    

    The
      Discovery Shares and Options are subject to whatever restrictions that may
      be
      placed upon them under the rules and regulations of the Australian Stock
      Exchange Ltd. (“ASX”).  Each Participant shall use its best efforts to
      ensure that the issuer of the Discovery Shares or Options, as applicable,
      procured by it shall not impose or cause to be imposed restrictions on the
      conversion of such Discovery Shares or the resale of the Shares in addition
      to
      those set forth (i) in this Agreement and the respective Exhibit “E-1,” “E-2,”
or “E-3,” as applicable or (ii) by operation of law under the rules and
      regulations of the ASX.

              Each
                Discovery Share and each Option shall be convertible into one Share
                as set
                forth in the respective Exhibit “E-1,” “E-2,” or “E-3,” as
                applicable.  If, following the date of this Agreement, an issuer
                of Discovery Shares or Options elects to undertake a consolidation
                of share capital, then any Discovery Shares or Options issued to
                Ridgelake
                or its designee(s) shall be subject to consolidation at the same
                ratio;
                provided, however, that Ridgelake shall not suffer, as the result
                of any
                such consolidation, a dilution in the value of the Discovery Shares,
                in
                the value of the Options, or in the value of Shares to be issued
                upon
                conversion of the Options or Discovery Shares, as
                applicable.

                Meeting (“EGM”) of the issuer of the Discovery Shares or Options procured
                by such Participant, such issuer’s shareholders approved corporate
                resolutions necessary to, among others, (i) change the nature of
                the
                issuer’s business direction to that of an oil and gas company, (ii) as to
                issuers of Discovery Shares, amend the issuer’s constitution to create the
                class of shares entitled “Discovery Shares” with terms and conditions as
                set forth herein and in Exhibit E-1 or E-2, as applicable, (iii)
                authorize
                the issuer’s Board of Directors to issue Options and/or Discovery Shares
                to Ridgelake (300,000 Options, 2,500,000 Discovery Shares in the
                case of
                the GulfX Discovery Shares, and 1,000,000 Discovery Shares in the
                case of
                the Entek Discovery Shares) and, (iv) authorize its Board of Directors
                to
                authorize Shares necessary to accommodate conversion of the Options
                and/or
                Discovery Shares, as applicable, and (v) authorize a consolidation
                of
                capital of the issuer.

              Authorization
                and Issuance.  Each Participant shall use its best efforts

                Shares
                procured by such Participant will have been duly authorized by the
                Board

                in
                accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be fully paid,
                non-assessable and validly issued.

              Compliance

                its best efforts to ensure that the issuer of the Options and/or
                Discovery
                Shares procured by it will comply in all material respects with the

                and
                Investments Commission (collectively, the “Regulator”).  To the
                knowledge of each Participant, the issuer of the Options and/or Discovery
                Shares procured by it has not received any written notice, nor does

                or
                threatened or that any such investigation or review is

                reports, documents or materials filed with or furnished to the Regulator
                or any governmental authority by the issuer of the Options and/or

                statement of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein
                not

                by
                such Participant discloses, to the extent required by applicable

                a Participant participates in and pays its respective Cost Share

                forth in the table in Section 1.1.1 above) of all Operations relevant
                to a
                particular Lease, delivers appropriate Options and/or Discovery Shares
                to

                Costs
                and Lease Expenses relevant to the Leases, then such Participant
                shall
                earn an undivided working interest in the Lease upon which such Operations
                have been conducted equal to its respective “Earning Share,” as set forth
                in the table in Section 1.1.1

      3.1.1              
It is understood that any working interest earned by a Participant shall be
      subject to and shall bear its proportionate share (i.e., its respective
      Earning Share) of all burdens that attach to each Lease, including, but not
      limited to, lessor’s royalty and overriding royalties that are applicable to
      each Lease as of the effective date of this Agreement.  (To the best
      of Ridgelake’s knowledge, each Lease is burdened with a 16 2/3% Royalty to
      Lessor and Overriding Royalties as follows:  Viosca Knoll Block 79 –
4%; High Island Block A 307 – 4%; Vermilion Block 317 – 3 1/3%; South Marsh
      Island Block 138 – 3 1/3%; and South Marsh Island Block 152 – 3
      1/3%.)

              Each
                Participant may earn its respective Earning Share in each Lease that
                is
                subject to this Agreement on a Lease-by-Lease basis.  However,
                subject to and without waiver of the right to audit and dispute costs
                and
                expenses, should a Participant not timely pay all of its Cost Share
                of all
                costs and expenses of Operations on a Lease, then, if such Participant
                fails to pay such costs and expenses within ten (10) days after receiving
                a notice of default from Ridgelake, such Participant shall forfeit
                its
                right to earn a working
                interest in the particular Lease and will have no right to a refund

                Lease.

                at
                Ridgelake’s sole discretion, until such time as a Participant has earned a
                working interest in a particular Lease.  Once a Participant has
                earned a working interest in a Lease, then, insofar and only insofar
                as
                said Lease is concerned, the terms of the JOA shall be applicable
                to a

              It
                is the intention of the Parties that a well shall be spudded on each
                Lease
                prior to the first day of the beginning of the last year of the primary
                term of each Lease.  However, it is understood and agreed that
                for various reasons a well may not be spudded on each Lease as
                anticipated.  If a well is not so spudded on a particular Lease
                before the first day of the beginning of the last year of the primary
                term
                for a particular Lease, then it is understood and agreed that a
                Participant in such Lease may submit a proposal to Ridgelake for
                the
                drilling of a well on the particular Lease in accordance with the
                terms of
                the JOA attached hereto.  If Ridgelake agrees to participate in
                the well proposed by such Participant, then the well shall be drilled
                in
                accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Participants
                must
                complete the interest earning operations in order to earn an interest
                in
                the Lease.  However, if Ridgelake does not agree to proceed with
                the well, then a Participant in the Lease may proceed to drill the
                well
                under the terms of the JOA attached hereto and, if the said well
                is
                completed by the Participant, then the Participants in such well
                shall
                earn their respective working interests in the Lease (as set forth
                in
                Section 3.1 above) and any penalties under the JOA shall be applicable
                to
                Ridgelake’s interest in the well.  (It is recognized that other
                parties may be participating in a particular Lease under agreements
                that
                are similar to this Agreement.  Accordingly, any penalty
                applicable to Ridgelake’s interest will be proportionately allocated to
                those parties who have agreed to participate in the
                well.)

                this Agreement shall no longer be applicable to the
                Lease.  However, it is understood and agreed that all money paid

                by
                Ridgelake and that there shall be no refund of any money to

              This
                Agreement and all instruments executed in accordance with it shall
                be
                governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State
                of

                that
                it is mandatory that the laws of some other jurisdiction, where the

                are located, shall apply.

                with
                respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
                understandings, negotiations and discussions.  Without limiting
                the generality of the foregoing, as between GulfX and South Marsh,
                this

                Participation Agreement, which, effective as of the date hereof,
                shall be
                of no further force or effect.  No supplement, amendment,
                alteration, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement
                shall be
                binding unless executed in writing by the Parties
                hereto.

                the
                addressee (except that notice given by telecopier shall be deemed
