ARTICLE 2. SALE AND PURCHASE

     On the Closing Date, effective as of the Effective Time, and upon the terms and conditions
herein set forth, Seller agrees to sell and assign the Subject Interests to Buyer and Buyer agrees
to buy and accept the Subject Interests in the respective percentages set forth below.

     2.1. Percentages.

	 	 	 	 	 
	Parallel Petroleum Corporation
	 	89% of 8/8ths
	Ted Collins, Jr.
	 	11% of 8/8ths

ARTICLE 3. PURCHASE PRICE

     3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to adjustments as set forth herein, the total purchase
price for the Subject Interests shall be Thirty Nine Million Nine Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars (US $39,900,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), payable in full at Closing in immediately
available funds.

     3.2 Earnest Money Deposit. Within one (1) Business Day of the execution of this
Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Seller a deposit in the amount of One Million Nine Hundred Ninety
Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $1,995,000.00) (the “Earnest Money Deposit”). If Closing
occurs, the Purchase Price shall be credited by the amount of the Earnest Money Deposit. If
Closing does not occur, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer, unless (a) Closing
does not occur because of Buyer’s failure or refusal to Close in breach of this Agreement or (b)
because the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to Close provided in Sections 13.1.1 and
13.1.2 are unmet at the time set for Closing, in which case Seller shall retain the Earnest Money
Deposit as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. If, however, in the case of either (a) or (b)
above, any conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to Close provided in Section 13.2 are unmet
at the time set for Closing, Seller shall not be entitled to retain the Earnest Money Deposit as
hereinabove provided.

     3.3 Allocation. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is Buyer’s good faith allocation of the
Purchase Price which shall be used in providing any required preferential purchase right
notifications and in determining any Purchase Price adjustments pursuant to this Agreement.

     3.4 Preferential Rights. If any of the Subject Interests are burdened with
preferential purchase rights, the assignment of the Subject Interests subject to such preferential
rights shall be conditioned upon Seller obtaining the necessary waiver or expiration of such right;
and this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof without such
waiver or expiration. If the time for exercising any preferential purchase right has not expired
and the holder thereof has not waived the same prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall
postpone Closing until that date which is five (5) Business Days after the date on which the rights
have expired or on which notice of waiver has been
received. If, prior to Closing, a holder of a preferential purchase right notifies Seller that it
intends to exercise its rights with respect to

7

 

any of the Subject Interests to which its
preferential purchase right applies, the Subject Interests covered by said preferential purchase
right shall be excluded from the Subject Interests to be conveyed to Buyer, and the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by the value allocated to said Subject Interests by Buyer in accordance with
Section 3.3. If the holder of the preferential purchase right fails to consummate the purchase of
the Subject Interests that are the subject of any notice of an intent to exercise such right
received by Seller before or after Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing. In such
event, the Closing Date shall be extended to the first Business Day following the sixtieth (60th)
day after Seller gives Buyer such notice, at which time Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall
purchase from Seller, such Subject Interests under the terms of this Agreement for a price equal to
the aforesaid value allocated to such Subject Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer
shall have no obligation to purchase such Subject Interests if Buyer does not receive such notice
within ninety (90) Days after August 15, 2008.

     3.5 Consents. If any of the Leases require the consent of a Third Party to assign Seller’s
interest therein, the assignment of the Subject Interests in and to such Lease(s) subject to
consent requirements shall be conditioned upon Seller obtaining such consent prior to Closing
(except for consents from governmental bodies customarily obtained after assignment which shall not
be required to be obtained prior to Closing). With respect to any leasehold interest for which
consent is not obtained prior to Closing, such interest shall not be conveyed to Buyer at Closing
and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value allocated to said Subject Interest by Buyer in
accordance with Section 3.3. If Seller obtains the required consent(s) within ninety (90) days
following Closing, Seller shall sell and Buyer shall purchase the interest(s) affected thereby
under the terms of this Agreement for a price equal to the Purchase Price adjustment made therefor
at Closing.

ARTICLE 4. REVIEW BY BUYER

     4.1 Review of Records. Seller shall make available to Buyer after execution of this
Agreement Records in Seller’s possession relating to the Properties including, without limitation
all environmental site assessments and environmental compliance reports in Seller’s possession
relating to the Properties which are listed on Exhibit H. Buyer shall be entitled to
review said Records during normal business hours or other mutually agreeable time and shall have a
right to request a reasonable number of copies of such Records, at Buyer’s expense.

     4.2 Adjustment of Purchase Price for Title Defects. As soon as reasonably practicable
after Buyer’s review of the Records in accordance with Section 4.1, but in no event later than
eight (8) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any
Leases or Wells which are subject to Alleged Title Defects and/or whose net revenue interest and/or
working interest is/are less than or greater than that amount specified on Exhibit C-1 or
Exhibit C-2 (collectively, the “Interest Adjustments”). Notice of Title Defects or
Interest Adjustments shall include a description and full explanation of each Title Defect and
Interest Adjustment being claimed and
a value which Buyer in good faith attributes to each. With respect to Alleged Title Defects,
Seller may undertake to satisfy some, all or none of those raised by Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost
and expense. Buyer and Seller shall meet at least three (3)

8

 

Business Days prior to the Closing
Date in an attempt to mutually agree on a resolution with respect to any Alleged Title Defects or
Interest Adjustments which by such time have not been agreed between the parties in writing. It is
recognized that good faith differences of opinion may exist between Buyer and Seller in connection
with Alleged Title Defects or Interest Adjustments, including without limitation, disputes as to
(i) whether or not the alleged defect constitutes a Title Defect within the meaning of this
Agreement, (ii) whether or not the magnitude of such defect is great enough that Buyer is
contractually entitled to assert such Title Defect, (iii) whether or not the Title Defect was
properly and timely asserted by Buyer pursuant to this Article, and (iv) the appropriate upward or
downward adjustment, if any, to be made to the Purchase Price on account of such Title Defect. In
determining whether a portion of a Lease contains a Title Defect, it is the intent of the parties
to include, when possible, only that portion of the Lease adversely affected. If the value
properly allocated to a Title Defect cannot be determined directly from Exhibit G because
the Title Defect is included within, but does not totally comprise, the Lease to which the
allocated value relates, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to proportionately reduce the allocated
value on Exhibit G. To the extent that an Alleged Title Defect being asserted is failure
of Seller to have in whole or in part Defensible Title to any portion(s) of the Leases or Wells (a
“Material Defect”) which remains on the scheduled Closing Date uncured or otherwise unresolved by
the parties, such affected portion(s) of the Leases or Wells shall be excluded from the Leases and
Wells conveyed to Buyer at Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced accordingly. If the
parties cannot mutually agree on a Purchase Price adjustment for a Material Defect, Buyer shall
have the right to (i) proceed to Closing and accept the Lease with the Material Defect with no
Purchase Price adjustment or (ii) terminate this Agreement as to the Lease or Well affected by the
Material Defect and receive a Purchase Price adjustment for such Lease or Well as set forth on
Exhibit G or, where applicable, the proportionate allocated value. If any difference of
opinion regarding an Alleged Title Defect (excluding any Material Defect) or Interest Adjustment or
value of the Title Defect (excluding any Material Defect) (collectively, the “Title Defect
Dispute”) is not resolved by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller prior to the Closing Date, then
either party has the right, exercisable within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, to refer the
same to arbitration in accordance with the following procedure.

     ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE BINDING ARBITRATION HELD IN HOUSTON, TEXAS BEFORE ONE (1)
MUTUALLY AGREEABLE ARBITRATOR WHO IS AN ATTORNEY LICENSED IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTIES ARE
LOCATED AND WHO HAS AT LEAST FIFTEEN (15) YEARS OIL AND GAS TITLE EXPERIENCE IN SUCH STATE. THE
ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN
ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION; AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (TITLE
9 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE). IF THERE IS ANY INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THIS SECTION AND ANY STATUTE
OR RULES, THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL. ARBITRATION SHALL BE INITIATED BY ONE PARTY (“CLAIMANT”)
GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER OR ADVERSARIAL PARTY (“RESPONDENT”) AND TO THE HOUSTON REGIONAL
OFFICE OF THE
AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), ATTENTION: REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT, WITH A COPY TO THE
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE AAA, THAT

9

 

THE CLAIMANT ELECTS TO REFER THE ARBITRABLE DISPUTE TO ARBITRATION,
AND THAT THE PARTIES HAVE APPOINTED AN ARBITRATOR, WHO SHALL BE IDENTIFIED IN SUCH NOTICE. IF THE
PARTIES FAIL TO AGREE ON AN ARBITRATOR WITHIN SUCH SIXTY (60) DAY PERIOD, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL BE
APPOINTED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR’S DESIGNEE. SELLER AND BUYER SHALL EACH PAY ONE-HALF OF THE
COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF THE ARBITRATOR, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT ALL COSTS CAN BE ASSESSED
AGAINST THE LOSING PARTY, IF THE ARBITRATORS SO DECIDE. IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING QUALIFICATION
THE ARBITRATOR MUST BE A NEUTRAL PARTY WHO HAS NEVER BEEN AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR OR EMPLOYEE OF THE
PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES. THE HEARING SHALL BE COMMENCED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER
NOTICE OF THE ARBITRATION IS GIVEN TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE PARTIES AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL
PROCEED DILIGENTLY AND IN GOOD FAITH IN ORDER THAT THE ARBITRAL AWARD SHALL BE MADE AS PROMPTLY AS
POSSIBLE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR REGARDING TITLE DEFECT DISPUTE(S) SHALL BE FINAL AS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall either party have any
obligations hereunder with respect to any Title Defects or Interest Adjustments except to the
extent that (i) each such Title Defect or Interest Adjustment exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) and (ii) all such Title Defects and Interest Adjustments exceed in the aggregate Three
Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $399,000.00), and each party hereby waives all
upward or downward adjustments to the Purchase Price for Title Defects and/or Interest Adjustments
the individual value of which is $50,000 or less and the cumulative value of which is $399,000.00
or less.

     4.3 Waiver. Except for claims Buyer asserts under Seller’s special warranty of title
described in Section 9.1, all Alleged Title Defects and Interest Adjustments which are not raised
by Buyer within the time period provided in Section 4.2 or which are raised and not thereafter
submitted to arbitration in accordance with such Section shall be deemed waived by Buyer for all
purposes, and Buyer shall have no right to seek an adjustment to the Purchase Price, make a claim
against Seller or seek indemnification from Seller on account of the same. All upward Interest
Adjustments which are not raised by Seller within the time period provided in Section 4.2 or which
are raised and not thereafter submitted to arbitration in accordance with such Section shall be
deemed waived by Seller for all purposes, and Seller shall have no right to seek an adjustment to
the Purchase Price, make a claim against Buyer or seek indemnification from Buyer on account of the
same.

ARTICLE 5. INSPECTION OF PROPERTIES

     5.1 Physical and Environmental Inspection. After execution of this Agreement, Seller shall permit Buyer and its authorized representatives
reasonable physical access to the Properties, at times approved by Seller and at Buyer’s sole cost,
risk and expense, for the

10

 

purposes of inspecting the same and conducting such tests, examinations,
investigations and assessments as may be reasonable and necessary to evaluate the physical and
environmental condition of the Properties. Buyer shall repair any damage to the Properties
resulting from its inspection, and releases the “Seller Group” (hereinafter defined) from, and
shall defend and indemnify the Seller Group from any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
expenses, costs, obligations and claims of whatsoever nature arising from Buyer inspecting the
Properties, including, without limitation, (i) all claims for personal injury to or death of
employees of Buyer, its agents, contractors, subcontractors or invitees and/or damage to the
property of Buyer or others acting on behalf of Buyer, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE CAUSED
BY THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER OR THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES but excluding
claims caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller, and (ii) all claims for
personal injury to or death of Third Parties and damage to the property of Third Parties, to the
extent caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer, or its employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors or invitees.

     5.2 Environmental Defects.

     5.2.1 Inspection and Test Results. Buyer agrees to provide Seller with a copy
of any and all environmental inspections and assessments, including, without limitation, all
written reports, data and conclusions. Buyer and Seller shall keep any and all data or
information acquired by all such examinations and results of all analysis of such data and
information strictly confidential and not disclose same to any person or agency other than
each party’s employees, consultants, lenders and partners, without the prior written
approval of the other party, unless required to do so by applicable Law or by the order of a
court or regulatory agency. Each party shall be responsible for insuring that the
employees, consultants, lenders and partners to whom it discloses such information (i) use
such information solely for the purposes of evaluating, negotiating, entering into and
performing this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby and (ii) hold the such
information in strictest confidence and observe the confidentiality obligations set forth
herein. The foregoing obligation of confidentiality shall survive for one (1) years after
the Closing and shall survive the termination of this Agreement without closing.

     5.2.2 Notice of Environmental Defects. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall review
the inspection and testing results of the Properties and determine if any “Environmental
Defect” (hereinafter defined) exists with respect to the Properties. An “Environmental
Defect” shall mean an Environmental Claim attributable to or arising out of a violation of
any Environmental Law, such Environmental Claim being (i) in effect on or before the
Effective Time and applicable to conditions prior to the Closing Date, (ii) made known to
Buyer prior to Closing and (iii) one which a prudent operator of oil and gas properties
would expect to be resolved, remediated or corrected by Seller prior to such operator’s
acquisition of the Properties. No later than eight (8) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any Environmental Defects with respect to the
Properties, and the estimated value of any such Environmental Defects (e.g. the estimated
cost of remediating or correcting such Environmental Defects). In the event such notice is
not timely delivered, all Environmental Defects of which Buyer has notice

11

 

as of such date
shall be deemed waived for all purposes and Buyer shall thereafter have no right to claim
Environmental Defects; and in the event the Environmental Defect notice is timely delivered,
all Environmental Defects of which Buyer has notice as of such date and are not claimed in
such notice shall be deemed waived for all purposes.

     5.2.3 Rights and Remedies for Environmental Defects. (a) With respect to any
Environmental Defect affecting the Properties, Buyer may (i) request Seller to cure the
Environmental Defect to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, but Seller shall have no obligation
to cure the Environmental Defect (if Seller elects not to cure the Environmental Defect to
Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction or fails to do so for any reason prior to five (5) Business
Days before Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected the following subparagraph (ii)),
or (ii) request an adjustment to the Purchase Price equal to the estimated value of the
Environmental Defect.

     (b) The rights and remedies of the parties with respect to any Environmental Defects
for which the Buyer requests a Purchase Price adjustment are as follows:

     (i) If the aggregate of Buyer’s good faith estimated value of all Environmental
Defects is less than or equal to Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100
Dollars (US $399,000.00), the parties shall be obligated to proceed with Closing as
to all of the Properties without curative action by Seller for all such
Environmental Defects and without an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

     (ii) If the aggregate of Buyer’s good faith estimated value of the
Environmental Defects exceeds Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars
(US $399,000.00), and the parties agree with respect to the existence of such
Environmental Defects and the value thereof, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the positive difference between the agreed upon value of the Environmental Defects
and Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $399,000.00), and the
parties shall be obligated to proceed with Closing, subject to the termination
rights of the parties under subpart (iv) of this Section 5.2.3(b).

     (iii) If the aggregate of Buyer’s good faith estimated value of all
Environmental Defects exceeds Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars
(US $399,000.00) and the parties cannot agree with respect to the existence of
and/or the value of the Environmental Defects, the parties shall refer the matter to
a mutually agreed upon third party expert for determination of the existence of
and/or the value of the Environmental Defects. The determination of
such expert shall be binding on the parties, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by the positive difference between the determined value of the Environmental Defects
and Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $399,000.00). The
parties shall be obligated to proceed with Closing after such determination of such
expert, subject to the termination rights of the parties under subpart (iv) of this
Section 5.2.3(b).

12

 

     (iv) If the aggregate value of the Environmental Defects equals or exceeds ten
percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, or the aggregate value of the Environmental
Defects and the Alleged Title Defects equals or exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the
Purchase Price, either party may terminate this Agreement, and neither party shall
have any further obligation to conclude the transfer of the Properties under this
Agreement. However, the right of termination under this subpart (iv) must be
exercised no later than three (3) Business Days before Closing (or, in the case of a
determination under (iii), within five (5) Business Days after the determination of
the expert), after which both parties shall be deemed to have waived their
termination rights under this subpart (iv) in connection with Environmental Defects.

     (c) Notwithstanding any agreement by Buyer and Seller to cure an Environmental Defect
or to reduce the Purchase Price due to an Environmental Defect with respect to the
Properties, or any other provision of this Agreement, if the terms and conditions of this
Article 5 are satisfied and the Environmental Defect is cured or the Purchase Price is
reduced as provided herein, then at Closing Buyer shall assume all environmental obligations
with respect to the Properties, as provided in Sections 8.3 and 12.4 hereof.

ARTICLE 6. ACCOUNTING

     6.1 Revenues, Expenses and Capital Expenditures. All Hydrocarbons produced prior to
the Effective Time (irrespective of whether payment for the same has been made or received) which
are attributable to the Subject Interests shall belong to Seller, and all such Hydrocarbons
produced from and after the Effective Time shall belong to Buyer. Seller shall be entitled to all
revenues and related accounts receivable attributable to the ownership or operation of the Subject
Interests, and shall be responsible for all costs and expenses and related accounts payable
attributable to the ownership or operation of the Subject Interests, to the extent they relate to
the time prior to the Effective Time. Buyer shall be entitled to all revenues and related accounts
receivable attributable to the ownership of the Subject Interests, and shall be responsible for all
costs and expenses and related accounts payable attributable to the ownership or operation of the
Subject Interests, to the extent they relate to the time from and after the Effective Time. The
actual amounts or values associated with the above shall be accounted for in the preliminary
Closing statement and the Final Accounting Settlement. Buyer shall assume Seller’s suspense funds
associated with the acquired Subject Interests as of the Effective Time, and these funds shall be
accounted for in the Final Accounting Settlement.

     6.2 Taxes. All taxes and assessments, including without limitation, excise, ad valorem,
property, production and severance taxes and any other federal, state and local taxes and
assessments attributable to the ownership or operation of the Subject Interests prior to the
Effective Time shall remain Seller’s responsibility, and all deductions, credits and refunds
pertaining to the aforementioned taxes and assessments, no matter when received, shall belong to
Seller. All taxes and assessments, including without limitation, excise, ad valorem, property,

13

 

production and severance taxes and any other federal, state and local taxes and assessments
attributable to the ownership or operation of the Subject Interests after the Effective Time shall
be Buyer’s responsibility, and all deductions, credits and refunds pertaining to the aforementioned
taxes and assessments, no matter when received, shall belong to Buyer. The actual amounts or
values associated with the above, if any, shall be accounted for in the preliminary Closing
statement and the Final Accounting Settlement. The parties agree that the transaction contemplated
herein is an occasional sale of assets by Seller in which Seller does not trade in the ordinary
course of its business. Accordingly, the parties will take commercially reasonable actions to
establish the occasional sale exemption from any sales tax associated with the transaction
contemplated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all
transfer, sales, use or similar taxes resulting from or associated with the transaction
contemplated under this Agreement.

     6.3 Obligations and Credits. Any and all prepaid insurance premiums, utility
charges, taxes, rentals and any other prepays, to the extent applicable to periods of time after
the Effective Time and to the extent attributable to the Subject Interests shall be reimbursed to
Seller by Buyer; and accrued payables applicable to periods of time prior to the Effective Time, if
any, and attributable to the Subject Interests shall be the responsibility of Seller. The actual
amounts or values associated with the above shall be accounted for in the preliminary Closing
statement and the Final Accounting Settlement.

     6.4 Gas Imbalances. Seller’s estimate of the aggregate gas imbalance as of the
Effective Time for all the Subject Interests is zero (0) mcf over/under produced (cumulative
working interests), as more particularly set forth for each of the Subject Interests on Exhibit
I. In the event such gas imbalance estimate is revised by Seller prior to Closing, Seller
shall provide Buyer with a revised gas imbalance schedule for all the Subject Interests as of the
Effective Time. There shall be a Purchase Price adjustment at Closing for the volumetric
difference in the estimated and revised imbalance calculated on Seller’s net revenue interest at a
price of $8 per mcf. To the extent that there is any difference between Seller’s actual aggregate
gas imbalance as of the Effective Time and the imbalance position settled at Closing, then an
adjustment shall be made at the $8 per net mcf rate in the Final Accounting Settlement. There
shall be no further gas imbalance adjustments after the Final Settlement Date. In the event of a
Title Defect affecting all or a portion of the Subject Interests, the aggregate gas imbalance shown
above shall be adjusted to take into account the affected Subject Interests. Any Purchase Price
adjustments for gas imbalances shall be made only on those Subject Interests purchased by Buyer.

     6.5 Miscellaneous Accounting.

      6.5.1 A preliminary Closing statement will be prepared for Closing, as provided in
Section 15.1.

      6.5.2 In addition to the items set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, any other amounts due
between Buyer and Seller related to the ownership or operation of the Subject Interests
shall be accounted for in the Final Accounting Settlement.

14

 

     6.6 Final Accounting Settlement. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event
later than ninety (90) Days after Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a post-Closing statement
setting forth a detailed final calculation of all post-Closing adjustments applicable to the period
between the Effective Time and the Closing Date (“Final Accounting Settlement”). As soon as
reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) Days after Buyer receives the
post-Closing statement, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes Buyer
proposes to be made to such statement. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later
than thirty (30) Days after Seller receives Buyer’s proposed changes to the post-Closing statement,
the parties shall meet and undertake to agree on the post-Closing adjustments. If the parties fail
to agree on the post-Closing adjustments, resolution shall be handled in accordance with Section
6.8. The date upon which all amounts associated with the Final Accounting Settlement are agreed to
by the parties, whether by decision of the Accounting Referee or otherwise, shall be herein called
the “Final Settlement Date”. Any amounts owed by either party to the other as a result of such
post-Closing adjustments shall be paid within five (5) Business Days after the Final Settlement
Date.

     6.7 Post-Final Accounting Settlement. Any revenues received or costs and expenses
paid by Buyer after the Final Accounting Settlement which are attributable to the ownership or
operation of the Subject Interests prior to the Effective Time shall be billed to or reimbursed to
Seller, as appropriate. Any revenues received or costs and expenses paid by Seller after the Final
Accounting Settlement which are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Subject Interests
after the Effective Time shall be billed to or reimbursed by Buyer, as appropriate.

     6.8 Audit Rights. In order to verify the information provided by the parties under
this Article 6, Buyer and Seller shall each have the right to conduct, at such party’s sole
expense, an audit of the other party’s records relating thereto for a period of one hundred eighty
(180) days after the Closing Date. Objections or exceptions which are not raised within such audit
period shall be conclusively deemed to be waived by the parties for all purposes, and neither party
shall have the right to make a claim against the other party or seek indemnification or
reimbursement from the other party associated with the same. If within such fifteen (15) Days
after receiving the results of a party’s audit conducted in accordance with this Article, the
parties still cannot reach agreement, the disputed items shall be resolved by submitting the same
to PricewaterhouseCoopers, or if such firm declines to act in such capacity, by such other firm of
independent nationally recognized accountants mutually acceptable to the parties (the “Accounting
Referee”). The Accounting Referee shall be instructed to resolve the accounting dispute(s) within
thirty (30) Days after having the relevant materials submitted to it for review. The decision of
the Accounting Referee
shall be binding and non-appealable by the parties. The fees and expenses associated with the
Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

ARTICLE 7. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

     If a substantial part of the Properties shall be (a) destroyed prior to Closing by a Casualty
Loss, or (b) taken in condemnation or if proceedings for such purposes shall be pending
(collectively referred to as a “Taking”), then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this

15

 

Agreement
prior to the Closing. For the purpose of this Article 6, the term “substantial” shall be defined
as ten percent (10%) of the unadjusted Purchase Price. If either party terminates this Agreement
in accordance with this Section, neither party shall have any further obligations, except as
provided in this Article and in Section 14.2.1.

     If neither party terminates this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, and Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree on a reduction in the Purchase Price,
reflecting the reduction in the value of the Subject Interests affected by the Casualty Loss and/or
Taking. If the parties cannot agree on a reduction, the Buyer’s reasonable good faith calculation
shall be used for purposes of Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall either party have any obligations hereunder with respect to any Casualty Loss and/or
Taking except to the extent that the value of all such Casualty Losses and/or Takings exceed in the
aggregate Three Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $399,000.00), and Buyer hereby
waives all downward adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Casualty Losses and/or Takings the
cumulative value of which is $399,000.00 or less. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Seller
shall retain any and all sums paid to Seller, unpaid awards, insurance proceeds and other payments
associated with or attributable to Casualty Losses and/or Takings to the extent that Buyer receives
a downward adjustment to the Purchase Price attributable to such Casualty Losses and/or Takings.
Otherwise, Buyer shall receive any and all sums paid to Seller, unpaid awards, insurance proceeds
and other payments attributable to such Casualty Losses and/or Takings.

ARTICLE 8. INDEMNITIES

     8.1 Seller’s Indemnity Obligations (excluding Environmental Claims). EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS WHICH
SHALL BE HANDLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.3, SELLER SHALL RELEASE BUYER AND BUYER’S
AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “BUYER GROUP”)
FROM AND SHALL FULLY PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, AND DEFEND BUYER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS
AND ANY AND ALL OCCURRENCES AND CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE CLAIMS BUT WHICH ARE ASSERTED BY
SELLER, RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF, OR CONNECTED WITH SELLER’S OWNERSHIP OR OPERATION OF THE
PROPERTIES PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE TIME, REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OF ACT OR OMISSION BY BUYER
GROUP; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT PROPER NOTICE UNDER SECTION 8.5 SHALL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO SELLER WITHIN EIGHTEEN
(18) MONTHS AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, AND FURTHER PROVIDED THAT BUYER SHALL BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL SUCH CLAIMS (IN AGGREGATE) UP TO THREE HUNDRED NINETY NINE
THOUSAND AND NO/100DOLLARS (US $399,000.00).

     8.2 Buyer’s Indemnity Obligations (excluding Environmental Claims).
EXCEPT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS WHICH
SHALL BE HANDLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.3, BUYER SHALL RELEASE SELLER AND

16

 

SELLER’S AFFILIATES
AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SELLER GROUP”) FROM AND
SHALL FULLY PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, AND DEFEND THE SELLER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND
ANY AND ALL OCCURRENCES AND CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE CLAIMS BUT WHICH ARE ASSERTED BY
BUYER RELATING TO, ARISING OUT OF, OR CONNECTED WITH THE OWNERSHIP OR OPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES
(i) PERTAINING TO THE PERIOD AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME, AND (ii) PERTAINING TO THE PERIOD PRIOR TO
THE EFFECTIVE TIME, UNLESS SUCH CLAIMS OR OCCURRENCES AND CONDITIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO
SELLER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOTICE PROVISIONS HEREOF WITHIN EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS AND ARE IN THE
AGGREGATE GREATER THAN THREE HUNDRED NINETY NINE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS (US $399,000.00). THIS
INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OF ACT OR OMISSION BY SELLER GROUP.

     8.3 Environmental Claims. BUYER SHALL RELEASE SELLER GROUP
AND SHALL FULLY PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, AND DEFEND SELLER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL
ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ANY AND ALL OCCURRENCES AND CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD CONSTITUTE
ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS BUT WHICH ARE ASSERTED BY BUYER PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTIES, NO MATTER WHEN
THE SAME ARISE OR TO WHAT PERIOD OF TIME THEY PERTAIN AND REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ACT OR
OMISSION OF SELLER GROUP.

     8.4 Asbestos and NORM. The parties acknowledge that the
Properties may contain asbestos and/or NORM, and that special procedures may be required for the
assessment, remediation, removal, transportation or disposal of asbestos and NORM. Buyer agrees to
assume any and all liability associated with or attributable to the assessment, remediation,
removal, transportation and disposal of the asbestos or NORM associated with or attributable to the
Properties and shall conduct said activities in accordance with all applicable Laws.

     8.5 Notice and Cooperation. If a Claim is asserted against
a party for which the party would be liable under the provisions of this Agreement, it is a
condition precedent to the indemnifying party’s
obligations hereunder that the indemnified party gives the indemnifying party written notice of
such Claim setting forth full particulars of the Claim, as known by the indemnified party,
including a copy of the Claim (if it was a written Claim.) The indemnified party shall make a good
faith effort to notify the indemnifying party within one (1) month of receipt of a Claim and shall
in all events effect such notice within such time as will allow the indemnifying party to defend
against such Claim and no later than three (3) calendar months after receipt of the Claim by the
indemnified party. The notice of a Claim given hereunder is referred to as a “Claim Notice.”

17

 

     8.6 Defense of Claims.

      8.6.1 Counsel. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party may assume the
defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects
in such defense. If any Claim involves Claims with respect to which Buyer indemnifies
Seller and also Claims for which Seller indemnifies Buyer, each party shall have the right
to assume the defense of and hire counsel for that portion of the Claim for which it has
liability. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, provided the fees and expenses of counsel
employed by an indemnified party shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless
otherwise agreed between the parties.

      8.6.2 Settlement. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party
within the earlier to occur of: (a) the time a response is due in the relevant litigation
matter, or (b) three (3) calendar months after receipt of the Claim Notice, that the
indemnifying party elects to undertake the defense thereof, the indemnified party has the
right to defend, at the sole expense of the indemnifying party, the Claim with counsel of
its own choosing, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of
any Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof at the indemnifying
party’s sole expense. In such event, the indemnified party shall send a written notice to
the indemnifying party of any proposed settlement of any Claim, which settlement the
indemnifying party may accept or reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) Days
of receipt of such notice, unless the settlement offer is limited to a shorter period of
time in which case the indemnifying party shall have such shorter period of time in which to
accept or reject the proposed settlement. Failure of the indemnifying party to accept or
reject such settlement within the thirty (30) Day period, or such shorter period of time, if
applicable, shall be deemed to be its rejection of such settlement. The indemnified party
may settle any matter over the objection of the indemnifying party but shall in so doing be
deemed to have waived any right to indemnity therefor as to (and only as to) liabilities
with respect to which the indemnifying party has recognized its liability.

     8.7 Waiver of Certain Damages. Each of the parties
hereby waives, and agrees not to seek, indirect, consequential, punitive, exemplary or special
damages of any kind with respect to any Claim, occurrence, condition or dispute, arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or breach hereof; provided, however,
that this provision does not diminish or affect in any way the parties’ rights and obligations
under any indemnities provided for in this Agreement.

with prompt written notice so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy
and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this letter agreement, and (ii) cooperate with
Seller in pursuing any reasonable measures that Seller determines to pursue to resist or narrow any

Buyer will furnish only that portion of the confidential that is legally required and will exercise
all reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor and will cooperate with Seller’s
efforts to obtain such confidential treatment.

further consideration, Buyer will execute and deliver or use reasonable efforts to cause to be
executed and delivered such other instruments of conveyance and take such other actions as Seller

     16.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned, either in whole or
in part, without the prior express written consent of the non-assigning party. Assignment of this

anyone other than Seller or Buyer or their authorized successors and assigns to any claim, cause of
action, remedy or right of any kind whatsoever.

enter into this Agreement, the parties each can and do expressly waive the provisions of all
consumer protection Laws of the State of Texas, or any other state, applicable to this transaction
that may be waived by the parties; it is not the intent of the parties to waive and the parties
shall not waive any applicable Law or provision thereof which is prohibited by Law from being

review the preceding waiver provision, including the opportunity to submit the same to legal
counsel for review and comment, and understands the rights being waived herein.

the waivers and indemnities in Articles 4, 5, 7, 8, and 16. Based on said review and consultation,
the parties agree with each and every term contained in this Agreement. Based on the foregoing,
the parties agree that the rule of construction that a contract be construed against the drafter,
if any, shall not be applied in the interpretation and construction of this Agreement.

     16.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations,
understandings, letters of intent and agreements (whether oral or written) and any contemporaneous
oral agreements between the parties relating to the Subject Interests and constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the sale and purchase of the
Subject Interests.

     16.17 Conspicuousness of Provisions. The parties acknowledge that the provisions
contained in this Agreement that are set out in “bold” satisfy the requirement of the express
negligence rule and any other requirement at law or in equity that provisions contained in a
contract be conspicuously marked or highlighted.

Exemption from Withholding of Tax For

Dispositions of U.S. Real Property Interests

     Article 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property

L.P. that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest
by Diamond “M” Production Company (“DMPC”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following:

     1. DMPC is not a nonresident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign
trust, or foreign estate for purposes of U.S. income taxation;

     2. DMPC’s taxpayer identifying number is 71-0358796; and

     3. DMPC’s home office address is 2350 N. Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 125, Houston,
Texas 77032.

     DMPC understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by
Lime Rock Resources A, L.P. and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by
fine, imprisonment, or both.

     Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and, to the best
of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare I have
authority to sign this document.

GOVERNANCE AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

     THIS GOVERNANCE AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as
of the 1st day of July, 2008, by and among the Persons listed on Schedule I attached hereto
(collectively, the “Wynnefield Group”, and individually, a “member” of the
Wynnefield Group) and CROWN CRAFTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company is scheduled to hold its 2008 annual meeting of stockholders on August
12, 2008 (the “2008 Annual Meeting”);

     WHEREAS, the Wynnefield Group beneficially owns in the aggregate 1,463,325 shares of the
Company’s Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (such class of common stock being
referred to herein as “Common Stock”);

     WHEREAS, the Wynnefield Group has provided notice to the Company of its intention to nominate
two persons to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the 2008 Annual
Meeting and to communicate with stockholders of the Company in connection with the election of
directors of the Company at the 2008 Annual Meeting; and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto agree that it is in the best interests of all stockholders of the
Company for the Company and the Wynnefield Group to come to an amicable agreement with respect to
the matters addressed herein, including, without limitation, the election of directors at the 2008
Annual Meeting and certain matters with respect to the future composition of the Board;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. In addition to the words and terms elsewhere defined herein, the
following words and terms as used herein shall have the following meanings:

          (a) “2009 Annual Meeting” shall mean the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for
the 2009 calendar year.

          (b) “2010 Annual Meeting” shall mean the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for
the 2010 calendar year.

          (c) “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall each have the meaning set forth with
respect thereto in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that for
purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall not be deemed an Affiliate of the Wynnefield Group
and the Wynnefield Group shall not be deemed an Affiliate of the Company.

          (d) “Beneficially own”, “beneficial ownership” and “beneficial owner”
with respect to any securities means having “beneficial ownership” of such securities, as
determined

 

 

pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, without duplicative counting of the same
securities by the same holder. Securities beneficially owned by a person include securities
beneficially owned by all other persons with whom such person would constitute a 13D Group with
respect to securities of the same issuer.

          (e) “Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

          (f) “Person” shall mean any individual, partnership, firm, corporation, association,
trust, unincorporated organization, joint venture, limited liability company, governmental
authority or other entity.

          (g) “13D Group” shall mean any group of Persons formed for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting or disposing of Voting Securities which would be required under Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (as now in effect and based on present
legal interpretations thereof) to file a statement on Schedule 13D with the SEC as a “person”
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act if such group beneficially owned Voting
Securities representing more than 5% of the total combined voting power of all Voting Securities
then outstanding.

          (h) “Voting Securities” shall mean all classes of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

          (i) “Restricted Period” shall mean the period beginning on the date of this Agreement
and ending on the earlier of (A) the date immediately following the date of the 2009 Annual Meeting
and (B) August 31, 2009.

          (j) “SEC” shall mean the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

     2. Covenants of the Company.

          (a) The Company hereby (i) confirms that the Board has formed a Strategic Review Committee
(the “Committee”), the members of which are Sidney Kirschner (Chairman), E. Randall
Chestnut and Frederick G. Wasserman, and that the Committee has approved and adopted a charter (the
“Charter”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; (ii) covenants and
agrees that the Committee shall actively undertake to discharge its responsibilities and fulfill
its purpose as set forth in the Charter and shall present its final report to the Board no later
than March 1, 2009 (the “Final Report Date”) setting forth its analysis and recommendations
with respect to strategic options available to the Company to enhance stockholder value (the
“Report”); and (iii) covenants and agrees that the Committee shall remain in place until
such time as it presents the Report to the Board and thereafter as may determined by the Board.
The Wynnefield Group shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate a member of the
Board to fill any vacancy on the Committee created prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period
by the resignation, death or removal of Frederick G. Wasserman. If there shall occur any vacancy
in the Committee prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period as a result of the resignation,
death or removal of either of the members of the Committee other than Frederick G. Wasserman, then
such vacancy shall be filled by an independent non-employee member of the Board (other than the
Wynnefield Designee (as hereinafter defined)) reasonably acceptable to the Wynnefield

-2-

 

Group. At all times prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the chairperson of the
Committee shall be an independent non-employee member of the Board. In the event the Committee
fails to present the Report to the Board on or before the Final Report Date, members of the Board
and/or the Wynnefield Group are authorized to publicly disclose the status of the Committee’s
activities and the reasons why the Committee has been unable to issue the Report to the Board by
the Final Report Date.

          (b) The Company hereby confirms that James A. Verbrugge, a Class III director, has notified
the Company that he does not intend to stand for re-election at the 2008 Annual Meeting, and the
Company agrees that it will not nominate him for re-election, or nominate anyone else in his stead,
at the 2008 Annual Meeting.

          (c) The Company agrees to (i) temporarily increase the size of the Board to eight (8)
directors until the 2008 Annual Meeting, and immediately following such meeting the Board shall
reduce the size of the Board to seven (7) directors; (ii) cause its directors to elect Joseph Kling
(the “Wynnefield Designee”) to the Board simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement to fill the vacancy created by the increase in the number of directors; (iii) include the
Wynnefield Designee in its slate of nominees for election as Class III directors of the Company at
the 2008 Annual Meeting; and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the re-election of the
Wynnefield Designee to the Board at the 2008 Annual Meeting (including, without limitation,
recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the re-election of the Wynnefield
Designee in the Company’s proxy statement with respect to the 2008 Annual Meeting). The
Wynnefield Group shall have the right to designate an individual reasonably acceptable to the
Company (the “Alternate Designee”) to fill any vacancy in the Board created prior to the
expiration of the Restricted Period by the resignation, death or removal of the Wynnefield Designee
or resulting from the failure of the Wynnefield Designee to be re-elected to the Board at the 2008
Annual Meeting, in which event the Company will (x) immediately appoint the Alternate Designee to
fill any vacancy created by the resignation, death or removal of the Wynnefield Designee or
resulting from the failure of the Wynnefield Designee to be re-elected to the Board at the 2008
Annual Meeting, (y) include such Alternate Designee in its slate of nominees for election as Class
II directors of the Company at the 2009 Annual Meeting and (z) use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the re-election of the Alternate Designee to the Board at the 2009 Annual Meeting (including,
without limitation, recommending in the Company’s proxy statement with respect to the 2009 Annual
Meeting that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the re-election of the Alternate
Designee).

          (d) Upon the written request of the Wynnefield Group delivered to the Company on or before May
1, 2010, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the resignation from the Board
(the “Resignation”), effective thirty (30) days prior to the latest date that notice of a
stockholder’s intention to nominate an individual must be provided to the Company with respect to

(1) director to be chosen by the Company, other than the Wynnefield Designee (or Alternate
Designee, as applicable) or a Class I Director, and the vacancy resulting from the Resignation
shall be filled only by election of the Company’s stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting (for
purposes of clarity only, at the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders will vote for the

Resignation and three (3) of whom will be Class I directors), provided that this

-3-

 

Agreement continues to be in effect at such time and that no member of the Wynnefield Group is in
breach of the terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Board, in
connection with the 2010 Annual Meeting, may nominate the director so resigning for election as a
director at the 2010 Annual Meeting to fill the vacancy resulting from the Resignation. If for any
reason no director resigns on or before thirty (30) days prior to the 2010 Nomination Date, then
the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and other representatives to, take all
necessary actions to increase the size of the Board to nine (9) members not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the 2010 Nomination Date.

          (e) The Company shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers and other representatives
not to, prior to or at the 2010 Annual Meeting, (i) increase the size of the Board to more than
seven (7) directors, unless such increase is pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2(c)(i) or 2(d)
hereof; (ii) create any new class of directors of the Board; (iii) create any new class of Voting
Securities; (iv) except as otherwise mandated or necessitated by applicable law, change any process
by which the Company’s stockholders may nominate or vote for an individual with respect to the
election of directors; or (v) otherwise amend the Company’s bylaws or certificate of incorporation
for the purpose of accomplishing any of the foregoing.

     3. Covenants of Wynnefield. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period and
subject to the further provisions hereof:

          (a) No member of the Wynnefield Group or any Affiliate or Associate of any such members (such
Affiliates and Associates, collectively and individually, the “Wynnefield Affiliates”)
shall:

          (i) solicit proxies or written consents of stockholders, engage in a proxy contest,
present any proposal for consideration or conduct any other type of referendum (binding or
non-binding) with respect to, or from the holders of, the Common Stock, or make, or in any
way participate in (other than by voting its shares of Common Stock in a way that does not
violate this Agreement), any “solicitation” of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote
any shares of Common Stock with respect to any matter, or become a participant in any
contested solicitation with respect to the Company, including, without limitation, relating
to the removal or the election of directors, or encourage any other Person to engage in any
of the foregoing;

          (ii) form or join in a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group that
would constitute a 13D Group, with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to the
matters set forth in Section 3(a)(i) hereof, or deposit any shares of Common Stock in a
voting trust or subject any shares of Common Stock to any voting agreement, other than
solely with other members of the Wynnefield Group or other Wynnefield Affiliates with
respect to the shares of Common Stock now or hereafter owned by them or pursuant to this
Agreement; or

          (iii) provided that this Agreement continues to be in effect at such time and that the
Company is not in breach of the terms of this Agreement, make, or cause to be made, any
statement or announcement that constitutes an ad hominem attack on the Company, its officers
or its directors in any document or report filed with or furnished to

-4-

available format. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or be construed to prohibit any
member of the Wynnefield Group or any Wynnefield Affiliate from commenting or presenting its
views on any issue or matter publicly disclosed by the Company and making any filings with
the SEC which any of the foregoing parties reasonably determines it is required to make in
connection therewith.

          (b) No member of the Wynnefield Group or any Wynnefield Affiliate will, directly or
indirectly, acquire any Voting Securities (except by way of stock dividends or other distributions
or offerings made available to holders of Voting Securities generally) if the effect of such
acquisition would be to increase the aggregate voting power in the election of directors of all
Voting Securities then owned by all members of the Wynnefield Group and the Wynnefield Affiliates
to greater than 20% of such total combined voting power of all Voting Securities then outstanding;
provided, however, that this Section 3(b) shall not apply if and to the extent that
the aggregate percentage ownership of the Wynnefield Group and the Wynnefield Affiliates is
increased as a result of a recapitalization or reincorporation of the Company, any redemption of
Voting Securities by the Company or any other action taken by the Company or its Affiliates. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the acquisition (prior to the expiration of the Restricted
Period or the earlier termination of this Agreement) and holding of Voting Securities by the
Wynnefield Group or the Wynnefield Affiliates in compliance with this Section 3(b) shall not result
in any member of the Wynnefield Group or any Wynnefield Affiliate being an “Acquiring Person” under
that certain Amended and Restated Rights Agreement between the Company and Computershare Investor
Services, LLC dated as of August 6, 2003, as the same may be amended from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Restricted Period, each member of the Wynnefield Group
acknowledges and agrees (i) that such member will be deemed to be an “insider” of the Company and
that the Wynnefield Group shall have the right to obtain non-public information from the Company’s
directors and management and receive all information (written or oral) discussed with or provided
to the Board in connection with its meetings, all of which the Wynnefield Group agrees to keep
strictly confidential; and (ii) that neither such member nor any Wynnefield Affiliate may buy or
sell any securities of the Company, either in the open market or in private transactions, other
than in compliance with all applicable laws and with such policies and procedures of the Company as
may be in effect from time to time relating thereto to which all of the Company’s directors are
subject.

     4. Additional Meeting Matters.

          (a) In furtherance of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 3 hereof, (i)
Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. hereby withdraws each of its two letters to the Company
dated June 20, 2008, requesting the opportunity to inspect and review certain books and records of
the Company and providing notice to the Company of its intention to nominate certain individuals

all efforts, direct or indirect, in furtherance of the Stockholder Nomination and any related
solicitation and shall not vote, deliver or otherwise use any proxies heretofore obtained in
connection with the Stockholder Nomination; and (iii) no member of the Wynnefield Group or any
Wynnefield Affiliate shall make any request to inspect or review the books and records of the
Company prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

-5-

CHARTER

STRATEGIC REVIEW COMMITTEE

CROWN CRAFTS, INC.

     The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Corporation”) has adopted
this charter (the “Charter”) for its Strategic Review Committee (the “Committee”).

Composition of the Committee

     Number. The Committee shall consist of three (3) members of the Board, two (2) of whom shall
be independent and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere
with the exercise of the independent judgment of such members in serving on the Committee.

     Appointment. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee, shall elect the Chairperson
and other members of the Committee. The Board may remove a member of the Committee, or replace the
Chairperson, only for cause, provided that the Board must, at all times, assure that the Committee
will have a Chairperson and sufficient members to satisfy the requirements set forth herein
relating to the composition of the Committee and number of Committee members.

Purpose and Responsibility

     The Committee shall have responsibility for developing, and for reviewing, evaluating and
recommending to the Board the merits of, the various strategic options available to the Corporation
to enhance stockholder value, including, but not limited to, exiting from existing lines of
business, entering into new lines of business and effecting other changes in the Corporation’s
operations; entering into joint ventures and other strategic alliances; engaging in selective
acquisitions, dispositions and other capital transactions; and entering into a merger, sale or
other extraordinary transaction involving the Corporation. The Committee shall review the
strategic planning process of the Corporation and strategic plans developed and implemented by
management and perform such other functions as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to
the Committee.

Committee Operations

     Meeting Schedule. The Committee shall meet as often as it deems appropriate to carry out its
responsibilities. Meetings shall be held on at least two (2) business days prior notice. The
Committee may meet in person or by telephone conference call and may act by unanimous written
consent. The Committee shall maintain written minutes of its meetings, which minutes shall be
filed in the Corporation’s minute book.

     Agenda and Materials. The Committee Chairperson shall approve the agenda for the meetings,
and any Committee member may suggest items for the Committee’s consideration.

 

 

     Attendance at Meetings. The Committee may, in the discretion of its Chairperson, invite
members of management, employees, external advisors and other experts to attend the Committee’s
meetings.

     Voting. A majority of the Committee members shall constitute a quorum. Each Committee member
shall have one vote, and actions at meetings may be approved by a majority of the members present;
provided, however, that any amendment of the Charter shall require the unanimous
approval of the Committee members.

     Reporting to the Board. At the Board meeting following each Committee meeting, the Committee
Chairperson (or the Chairperson’s designee) shall report to the full Board on the Committee’s
actions.

Committee Resources

     To assist the Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities, (i) each Committee member shall
have full access to members of management, and (ii) the Committee may retain and terminate
independent consultants, counsel, accountants, investment banking firms and other advisors, subject
to the Board’s approval of all such advisors and the terms of their engagement, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Corporation will bear the expense of
advisors engaged with the Board’s approval. Committee members shall be reimbursed for all of their
reasonable out of pocket expenses, and non-employee members of the Committee shall receive such
fees and compensation as may be determined by the Board.
