                             INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

     THIS INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the
5th day of August, 2005, by and between Quest Resource Corporation, a Nevada
corporation ("QRC"), and Cherokee Energy Partners LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("CEP"), with respect to certain financial arrangements with
Quest Cherokee, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Borrower").

                                    RECITALS:
                                    ---------

     A. QRC has made to Borrower loans in the aggregate principal amount of up
to $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note dated as of July 20,
2005 (together with any subsequent advances of monies to Borrower from QRC, the
"QRC Loans"). All monies, liabilities and obligations, of any and every kind and
nature, owed to ORC from Borrower under the QRC Loans are referred to herein as
the "QRC Obligations."

     B. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, CEP desires to loan to
Borrower up to $3,000,000, in the form of a 15% Promissory Note (the "CEP Loan"
and, together with the QRC Loans, the "Loans"). All monies, liabilities and
obligations, of any and every kind and nature, owed to CEP from Borrower under
the CEP Loan is included in the definition of "CEP Obligations."

     The parties hereto wish to agree upon the relative rights of interest of
CEP and QRC with respect to payments received from Borrower on or in respect of
the Loans.

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the terms and conditions
set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as

from or on behalf of Borrower, by set-off or in any other manner, the whole or
any part of any monies which may now or hereafter be owing by Borrower with
respect to the Obligations, (b) to initiate or participate with others in any
suit, action or proceeding against Borrower to (i) enforce payment of or to

     Section 3. Priority of Indebtedness. The indebtedness and payment
obligations of Borrower with respect to the QRC Obligations and the CEP
Obligations shall be of equal priority, and none shall have a priority of
payment over or be subordinate to the other. The parties agree that these
amounts shall be repaid prior to any other indebtedness owed to QRC or CEP being
repaid

QRC and CEP shall share pro rata any payments made by the Borrower on any of the
Obligations and the proceeds of any Enforcement Action based upon the following

the Borrower on any of the Obligations and in the proceeds of any Enforcement
Action, and (2) CEP shall have a 60% pro rata interest in any payments made by
the Borrower on any of the Obligations and in the proceeds of any Enforcement
Action. Each party that receives any payments from the Borrower on any of the
Obligations or proceeds from any Enforcement Action shall promptly pay to the
other party its pro rata share of such amounts.

agree to fund the requested Advance according to the following pro rata share:
(1) QRC shall fund 40% of the Advance, and (2) CEP shall fund 60% of the

     Section 6. Default. Each party hereto shall provide prior written notice to
the other parties hereto (other than Borrower) of any Event of Default of which
it is aware under the Loans. If an Event of Default occurs on either the CEP
Loans or the QRC Loans, such default shall be deemed to be an Event of Default
with respect to all Loans. CEP shall have the right to control the exercise of
remedies related to such Event of Default in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

     Section 7. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the terms and
provisions hereof are solely for the benefit of CEP and QRC and shall not

any remedies (including the commencement and prosecution of any Enforcement
Action) against the Borrower with respect to an Event of Default under the

the Borrower, QRC agrees to cooperate with CEP in the exercise of the remedies
that are set forth in any written instrument evidencing any of the Obligations,
including without limitation any promissory notes executed by Borrower in favor
of CEP or QRC (all such written instruments are referred herein to as "Financing
Documents").

waives any right to require the other party to marshal any security or
collateral or otherwise to compel the other party to seek recourse against or
satisfaction of the indebtedness owed to it from one source before seeking
recourse or satisfaction from another source.

     Section 11. Relation of Parties. This Agreement is entered into solely for
the purposes set forth in the Recitals above, and, except as is expressly
provided otherwise herein, no party to this Agreement assumes any responsibility
to the other party to advise such other party of information known to such party
regarding the financial condition of Borrower or of any other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations of Borrower to the
parties hereto. Each party shall be responsible for managing its relation with
Borrower and neither party shall be deemed the agent of the other party for any
purpose. Each of the parties hereto may alter, amend, supplement, release,
discharge or otherwise modify any terms of the documents evidencing and
embodying their respective Obligations without notice to or consent of the
other.

QUEST CHEROKEE, LLC

By:    /s/ Jerry D. Cash
       --------------------------
Name:  Jerry D. Cash
Title: Chief Executive Officer

                                       6EXHIBIT 10.6
                                  ------------

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

     THIS AGREEMENT is made effective as of April 18, 2003, by and between
FIRSTBANK NORTHWEST (the "BANK"); FIRSTBANK NW CORP. ("COMPANY"), a Washington
State corporation; and Terence A. Otte ("EXECUTIVE").

     WHEREAS, the BANK recognizes the substantial contribution EXECUTIVE has
made to the BANK and wishes to protect his position as Chief Operating Officer
therewith for the period provided in this Agreement in the event of a Change in
Control (as defined herein); and

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and upon the other terms
and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Term Of Agreement

     The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date
first above written and shall continue for a period of thirty-six (36) full
calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the first anniversary date of this
Agreement and continuing at each anniversary date thereafter, the Board of
Directors of the BANK ("Board") may extend the Agreement for an additional year.
The Chief Financial Officer of the Bank will conduct a performance evaluation of
EXECUTIVE for purposes of determining whether to extend the Agreement, and the
results thereof will be reported to the Board.

2.   Payments To EXECUTIVE Upon Change In Control.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as herein defined) followed
within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the Change in Control by the
voluntary or involuntary termination of EXECUTIVE's employment, other than for
Cause, as defined in Section 2(c) hereof, the provisions of Section 3 shall
apply. For purposes of this Agreement, "voluntary termination" shall be limited
to the circumstances in which EXECUTIVE elects to voluntarily terminate his
employment within twelve (12) months of the effective date of a Change in
Control following any material demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority, material reduction in his annual compensation or benefits (other than
a reduction affecting the Bank's personnel generally), or the relocation of his
principal place of employment by more than 35 miles from its location
immediately prior to the Change in Control.

     (b) A "Change in Control" of the COMPANY or the BANK shall be deemed to
occur if and when (a) an offeror other than the COMPANY purchases shares of the
common stock of the COMPANY or the BANK pursuant to a tender or exchange offer
for 25% or more of such shares, (b) any person (as such term is used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the COMPANY or the
BANK representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power
of the COMPANY's or the BANK's then outstanding securities, (c) the membership
of the board of directors of the COMPANY or the BANK changes as the result of a
contested election, such that individuals who were directors at the beginning of
any twenty-four (24) month period (whether commencing before or after the date
of adoption of this Agreement) do not constitute a majority of the Board at the
end of such period, or (d) shareholders of the COMPANY or the BANK approve a
merger, consolidation, sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the
COMPANY's or the BANK's assets, or a plan of partial or complete liquidation.

<PAGE>

     (c) EXECUTIVE shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon Termination for Cause. The term "Termination
for Cause" shall mean termination because of EXECUTIVE's intentional failure to
perform stated duties, personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct,
any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, willful violation of any
law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or
final cease and desist order, or any material breach of any material provision
of this Agreement. In determining incompetence, the acts or omissions shall be
measured against standards generally prevailing in the savings institution
industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EXECUTIVE shall not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-fourths of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to EXECUTIVE and an opportunity
for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in
the good faith opinion of the Board, EXECUTIVE was guilty of conduct justifying
Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
EXECUTIVE shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for
any period after Termination for Cause.

3.   Termination

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, followed within twelve (12)
months of the effective date of a Change in Control by the voluntary or
involuntary termination of EXECUTIVE's employment other than Termination for
Cause, the BANK shall, in addition to the BANK's other obligations to the
EXECUTIVE under any other plan or agreement, pay to the EXECUTIVE or, in the
event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate,
as the case may be, an amount equal to 299% of the EXECUTIVE'S "base amount" as
determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Such amount shall be paid to EXECUTIVE in a cash lump sum no later
than thirty (30) days after the date of his termination.

     (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the BANK followed within
twelve (12) months of the effective date of a Change in Control by EXECUTIVE's
voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, other than Termination for
Cause, the BANK shall cause to be continued life, medical, dental and disability
coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the BANK for
EXECUTIVE prior to his severance. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon
expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of EXECUTIVE's termination.

     (c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, in the
event that the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to
EXECUTIVE under this Section, together with any other payments or benefits
received or to be received by EXECUTIVE in connection with a Change in Control,
would be deemed to include an "excess parachute payment" under ss.280G of the
Code, then, at the election of EXECUTIVE, (i) such payments or benefits shall be
payable or provided to EXECUTIVE over the minimum period necessary to reduce the
present value of such payments or benefits to an amount which is one dollar
($1.00) less than three (3) times EXECUTIVE's "base amount" under ss.280G(b)(3)
of the Code or (ii) the payments or benefits to be provided under this Section 3
shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid treatment as an excess
parachute payment with the allocation of the reduction among such payments and
benefits to be determined by EXECUTIVE.

                                       2
<PAGE>

4.   Effect On Prior Agreements And Existing Benefit Plans

     This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the BANK and EXECUTIVE, except that
this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation
inuring to EXECUTIVE of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that EXECUTIVE is subject to receiving
fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.

5.   No Attachment

     (a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.

     (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
EXECUTIVE, the COMPANY, the BANK and their respective successors and assigns.

6.   Modification And Waiver

     (a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.

     (b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there by an estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.

7.   Regulatory Suspension or Removal

     (a) If EXECUTIVE is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participation in the conduct of the BANK's affairs by a notice served under
Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or similar
statute, rule or regulations, the BANK's obligations under this Agreement shall
be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate
proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the BANK may, in its
discretion, (i) pay all or part of the compensation withheld while its
obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or
in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

     (b) If EXECUTIVE is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the BANK's affairs by an order issued under
Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or similar
statute, rule or regulations, all obligations of the BANK under this Agreement
shall terminate as of the effective date of that order.

                                       3
<PAGE>

8.   Severability

     If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each
such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.

Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, unless

Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel

such amounts and benefits shall be paid or provided by the COMPANY.

12.  Payment Of Legal Fees

direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or
substantially all the business or assets of the BANK or the COMPANY, expressly
and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the BANK's or the COMPANY's
obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that
