and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are
within Cyrus's corporate powers and have been duly approved by the Board of

                    2.3. FILINGS; FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CONDITION. Cyrus
has filed, complete and accurate in all material respects, all reports,
registrations and statements required to be filed with any governmental, taxing
or regulatory authority complying in all material respects with applicable laws
or regulations. Cyrus has heretofore delivered or will deliver to EMB (i) the
unaudited statements of assets, liabilities and equity-income tax basis of Cyrus
and related statements of revenues, expenses, and retained earnings-income tax
basis for the annual periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently
applied regarding the assets to be acquired by EMB; and (ii) federal corporate
income tax returns of Cyrus for the year ended December 31, 1999.

                    The statements and returns referred to present fairly on the
income tax basis the assets, liabilities and equity of Cyrus and its revenues,
expenses and retained earnings for the periods to which they pertain. The books
and records of Cyrus are complete and correct in all material respects, have
been maintained in accordance with good business practices and accurately
reflect in all material respects the basis for the financial condition and
results of operations of Cyrus.

                    2.4. ABSENCE OF MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE AND UNDISCLOSED
LIABILITIES. Since December 31, 1999, there has not been any material adverse
change, actual or threatened, in the financial condition, business, properties,
assets, or operations of Cyrus. The liabilities listed on the attached Schedule
I are all of the present material accounts payable, notes payable and all other
forms of indebtedness, both current and long term, of Cyrus relating to the
assets to be acquired by EMB and there are no material liabilities, liquidated
or unliquidated, contingent or otherwise, not specifically reflected or noted in
detail on said Schedule I or the financial statements and returns set forth in

licenses and other instruments to which Cyrus, as indicated therein, is a party
relating to the assets to be acquired by EMB. Except only as to contracts or
instruments included in Schedule II, Cyrus is not a party to or bound by any
written or oral significant contract not made in the ordinary course of business
relating to such assets.

                    2.6. COMPLIANCE WITH CONTRACTS. To date, Cyrus has in
all material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by it
under the contracts and other instruments and is not in default under any of
these contracts or instruments, nor to the best of the knowledge of Cyrus has
any condition, event or act occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would give rise to such a default on its part under any such Schedule II
contract or other instrument. All leases and licenses of Cyrus are adequate for
the operation of its gas plants as now conducted and are in full force and
effect. Cyrus is not subject to any restriction contained in any charter,
by-laws, mortgage, agreement, other instrument, order, arbitration award,
judgment, decree, or to any other restriction of any kind, which would prevent
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no
obligation of it under any mortgage, agreement, other instrument, order,
arbitration award, judgment or decree shall be breached or accelerated by reason
of such consummation.

                    2.7. PATENTS.  No patents or patent  licenses  are owned by
Cyrus relating to the assets to be acquired by EMB.

                    2.8. INSURANCE; COVERAGE. Insurance held by Cyrus and in
force at the execution of this Agreement is in such amount, and insures against
such risks and losses, as are necessary to protect Cyrus from any material
losses and to satisfy any statutory requirements, and valid policies in respect
of such insurance will be outstanding and maintained in force through the
Closing Date. Cyrus has insurance policies and fidelity bonds covering its
assets, business, equipment, properties, operations, employees, officers and
directors of the type and in the amounts customarily carried by persons
conducting businesses similar to those of Cyrus. All premiums due and payable
under all such policies

                                       4

and bonds have been paid, and Cyrus is otherwise in full compliance with the
terms and conditions of all such policies and bonds.

                    2.9. ITIGATION. There are no legal actions, suits or
proceedings pending before any court, commission or other authority or, to the
knowledge of Cyrus, threatened, affecting Cyrus or the assets to be acquired by
EMB which (a) are not fully covered by insurance or (b) if determined adversely
to Cyrus, would have a materially adverse effect on the natural gas plants of
Cyrus in the aggregate, as the case may be. Cyrus is not aware of any reasonable
basis for the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding. There is no
investigation pending or to the knowledge the assets to be acquired by EMB of
Cyrus threatened by any public or governmental body, agency or authority,
involving Cyrus other than as set forth in the attached Schedule IV.

                    2.10. NON-CONTRAVENTION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Cyrus has
full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
participate in the transaction to the extent contemplated hereby, and neither
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement nor the consummation
of such transaction will give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any right or obligation of Cyrus or constitute a default under,
or conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions
of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Cyrus, or any provision of any
indenture, mortgage, Lien, loan agreement, contract, instrument, law, order,
judgment, decree, award, ordinance, regulation, rule or other legal restriction
to which Cyrus is a party or by which it or any of its property is or will be
bound. Cyrus is not in violation of any applicable provisions of any laws,
statutes, ordinances, regulations, administrative interpretations, orders,
judgments, policies or decrees of any court or governmental or administrative
authority that are applicable to it or its natural gas plants. Cyrus has all
permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals of, and has
made all filings, applications and registrations with federal, state, local or
foreign governmental or regulatory bodies that are required in order to permit
it to carry on its

                                       5

business substantially as presently conducted, except for such permits,
licenses, certificates of authority, orders, appraisals, filings, applications
or registrations the failure so to have or to make would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on its natural gas plants. All such
permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals are in full
force and effect, and, to the knowledge of Cyrus, no suspension or cancellation
of any of them is threatened, and all such filings, applications and
registrations are current in all material respects, except for such filings,
applications and registrations which the failure to have would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No investigation by any governmental entity with respect to Cyrus is
pending or, to the knowledge of Cyrus, threatened, and, to the knowledge of
Cyrus, no governmental entity has indicated an intention to conduct the same
other than those the outcome of which will not have a Material Adverse Effect on
the business, assets, earnings, liquidity, or financial condition of Cyrus.

compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to health, sanitation, pest, vermin, and insect abatement, waste

an intention to conduct the same, other than those the outcome of which will not

               Party in this Agreement;

               Effect.

                                   ARTICLE VI

MEASUREMENT AND TESTING
-----------------------

6.1 Processor shall install, maintain and operate, or cause to be installed,
maintained and operated at no cost or expense to Producer, measuring equipment
of ample size and proper type for the accurate measurement of the volume and
heat content of gas delivered for processing hereunder. Such meter shall be
located and measurement taken at the point Producer or Transporter delivers same
to Processor. Producer may, at its option and expense, install check meters at
any Point of Delivery for checking Processor's metering equipment and same shall
be so installed as not to interfere with the operation of Processor's
facilities. The charts and records by which such measurements are determined
shall be available for the use of both Processor and Producer in fulfilling the
terms and conditions thereof. Processor shall install, operate and maintain, or
cause to be installed, operated and maintained, at no cost or expense to
Producer, suitable meter or meters and/or other necessary equipment for the
purpose of measuring the following:

          a)   The volume of each Component Plant Product recovered and saved
               from gas delivered to the Plant.
          b)   The volume and heating content of gas used as fuel in the Plant.
          c)   The volume and heating content of Residue Gas and gas bypassed
               around the Plant.

6.2 Processor's measurement facilities shall be used in determining the total
Plant fuel usage for settlement hereunder. In the event of Plant emergency
conditions and/or flaring of gas delivered hereunder, the volume of gas so
vented or flared shall be measured or estimated by Processor. The charts and
records by which Plants fuel, flare and other factors are determined by
Processor shall be made available to Transporter for use in fulfilling the terms
and conditions of the Purchase Contract, if necessary.

6.3 Gas delivered for processing hereunder, the volume of gas delivered for
processing from other sources and Plant fuel, shall be measured by orifice
meters of standard make and manufacture, installed and operated, and
computations made, as prescribed in Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 of
the American Gas Association as such report may be amended or revised from time
to time.

The unit of volume shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas as a base temperature of
sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit, and at a base pressure of fourteen and sixty-five
hundredths (14.65) pounds per square inch absolute as provided by the Standard
Gas Measurement Law of the State of Texas (Article 6066 b of Vernon's Texas
Civil Statutes). The atmospheric pressure will be assumed to be fourteen and
sixty-five hundredths (14.65) pounds per square inch absolute regardless of the
variations of such atmospheric pressure from time to time. Temperature shall be
determined by use of recording thermometer so installed that it may continuously
record the temperature of gas passing the meters. The specific gravity shall be
determined by use of a recording gravitometer, a gravity type balance or other
instrument acceptable to the industry.

Corrections for deviations from Ideal Gas Laws shall be made for all gas metered
hereunder. Such corrections shall be made by the use of the American Gas
Association Manual for the Determination of Super-compressibility Factors for
Natural Gas (PAR Project NX-19) as the

                                       5
<PAGE>

same may be amended or revised from time to time. The arithmetical average
recorded temperature, the factor for specific gravity, and the corresponding
correction FOR DEVIATION FROM Ideal Gas Laws applicable during each period shall
be used to make computations of volumes hereunder.

6.4 The accuracy of the gas measuring equipment specified herein shall be
verified as specified herein. All tests of such measuring equipment shall be
made at the expense of the party installing and furnishing same. If at any time
any of the gas measuring or testing equipment is found to be out of service or
registering inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be adjusted at once to read
accurately, within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer. If such equipment
is out of service or inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%) at a
reading corresponding to the average flow for the period since the last
preceding test, the previous readings of such equipment shall be disregarded for
any period definitely known or agreed upon, or for a period of one-half of the
elapsed time since the last test. The volume of gas measure during such period
shall be estimated (a) by using the data recorded by any check measuring
equipment if installed and measuring accurately, or if not installed or
registering accurately, (b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error
is ascertainable by calibration, test, or mathematical calculation, or if
neither such method is feasible, (c) by estimating the quantity or quality
measured, based upon deliveries under similar conditions during a period when
the equipment was registering accurately. No correction shall be made for
recorded inaccuracies of two percent (2%) or less. Producer and Processor shall
have the right to inspect equipment installed or furnished by the other, and the
charts and other measurement or testing data of the other at all times during
business hours; but the reading, calibration and adjustment of all metering
equipment and changing of charts shall be done only by the party installing and
furnishing same. Each party shall be preserve all original test data, charts,
and other similar records in such party's possession for a period of at least
one (1) year.

6.5 The gross heating value of gas may, at Processor's option, be determined by
a recording calorimeter installed by Processor. The arithmetical average of the
hourly gross heating value recorded each day during the time that gas was
actually flowing through the meter shall be considered the gross heating value
during such day. If Processor does not elect to install a recording calorimeter,
the gross heating value shall be determined by Processor at least quarterly by
taking samples at Processor's meter; said samples may be run on a calorimeter at
another location; or the gross heating value may be computed from fractional
analysis of such samples. The result shall be applied to gas deliveries during
the month when the sample is taken and for all following months until a new
sample is taken. Copies of each such analysis shall be furnished by Processor to
Producer. Should Producer not be satisfied with the results of such analysis, it
shall notify Processor in writing. Promptly thereafter, representatives of the
parties shall, using mutually satisfactory procedures, obtain simultaneously
under normal conditions, two (2) individual samples of the gas at the Delivery
Point in question and by appropriate laboratory analysis determine the total
gross heating value thereof in accordance with the terms of this contract,
reporting the results to the other in writing. The average of the total gross
heating value shown by such two (2) analyses shall be used for all purposes of
this Agreement for the period covered by the analysis made by Processor which
gave rise to the joint determination. The "gross heating value" is defined as
the number of Btu's produced by combustion, at a constant pressure, of the
amount of gas which would occupy a volume of one (1) cubic foot at a temperature
of 60 degrees Fahrenheit; if saturated with water vapor and under a pressure of
fourteen and sixty-five hundredths (14.65) pounds per square inch absolute, with
air of the same temperature of gas and air, and when the water formed by
combustion is condensed to the liquid state.

                                       6
<PAGE>

6.6 Processor shall determine or cause to be determined, the hydrocarbon
content of gas at each point Producer delivers to Transporter, at such time as
the gross heating value is determined. Fractional analysis of test sample shall
be performed by Processor utilizing gas chromatography equipment or such other
method as may be commonly used in the industry. From such fractional analysis,
Processor shall determine the composition in molecular percent of each of the
following chemical compounds: (1) carbon dioxide, (2) nitrogen, (3) methane, (4)
ethane, (5) propane, (6) iso-butane, (7) normal butane, (8) iso-pentane, (9)
normal pentane and (10) hexanes and heavier hydrocarbons. Processor shall, upon
request, furnish to Producer each such fractional analysis.

                                   ARTICLE VII

ALLOCATION OF PLANT PRODUCTS AND RESIDUE GAS
--------------------------------------------

7.1 It is understood that Processor may
      i) process gas from Producer along with gas from others, and
     ii) receive Producer's gas commingled with gas from others, and
    iii) produce Plant Products and Residue Gas attributable to Producer
          commingled with such commodities attributable to others; therefore,
          settlement hereunder shall be in accordance with the procedure for
          allocation herein specified.

7.2 "Delivery Point" shall mean the inlet of the measurement facilities
through which Processor receives gas from Producer or from parties other than
Producer at the Plant Site.

7.3 "Processed Volume" shall mean the volume of gas (in Mcf) received by
Processor at a particular Delivery Point.

7.4 "Theoretical Test Gallons" of a particular Component Plant Product
shall mean the result obtained by multiplying the particular Component Plant
Product content of a particular gas stream (expressed in gallons per Mcf) by the
quantity (in Mcf) of that particular stream delivered for processing (the result
being expressed in gallons).

7.5 Each month the quantity (in gallons) of a particular Component Plant Product
recovered and saved in the Plant and attributable to a particular Delivery Point
shall be determined by multiplying the actual net Plant production (in gallons)
of the particular Component Plant Product by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Theoretical Test Gallons of the Particular Plant Product contained in the
Processed Volume attributable to the particular Delivery Point and the
denominator of which is the total quantity of Theoretical Test Gallons of the
particular Component Plant Product contained in the Processed Volume
attributable to all Delivery Points. Actual net Plant Production of a particular
Plant Product shall be the total net deliveries of that Component Plant Product
at the Plant to purchasers during the month, plus or minus any change in
inventory.

7.6 Theoretical Plant Fuel and losses attributable to a particular
Delivery Point shall be determined by multiplying the total quantity of gas used
as Plant Fuel and other plant usages (in MMBtu) by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Processed Volume (in Mcf) attributable to that particular
Delivery Point and the denominator of which shall be the Processed Volume (in
Mcf) attributable to all Delivery Points.

7.7 Theoretical Plant Product Shrinkages attributable to a particular Delivery
Point shall be determined by the conversion of the actual volume of each
Component Plant Product attributed to

                                       7
<PAGE>

the particular Delivery Point to its respective heat content equivalent
(in MMBtu) by multiplying the gallons thereof by the following factor
applicable:

COMPONENT PLANT PRODUCT ETHANE                          MMBTU PER GALLON
------------------------------                          ----------------

          Ethane                                           0.066330
          Propane                                          0.091065
          N-Butane                                         0.102989
          Iso-Butane                                       0.099022
          Pentanes and heavier                             0.113500

7.8 Residue Gas attributable to a particular Delivery Point shall be determined
by multiplying the total quantity of Residue Gas (in MMBtu) available at the
outlet of the Plant plus the total quantity of gas (in MMBtu) available for
processing but by-passed around the Plant unprocessed by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the heat content equivalent of the Processed Volume
(in MMBtu) less Theoretical Plant Fuel and losses (in MMBtu) and Theoretical
Plant Product Shrinkage (in MMBtu) and the denominator of which shall be the
aggregate of such determination for all Delivery Points. To determine the heat
content equivalent, the Processed Volume (in Mcf) attributable to a Delivery
Point shall be multiplied by the gross heating value (in Btu per cubic foot) for
that particular delivery Point as determined pursuant to Paragraph 6.5 hereof

equivalent in millions of Btu (MMBtu).

                                  ARTICLE VIII

PAYMENT TO PRODUCER
-------------------

8.1 For and in consideration of the grant, assignment and conveyance of
Producer's processing rights, Processor agrees to pay to Producer monthly a
portion of the net proceeds received, as hereinafter defined, for Plant Products
extracted, saved and sold from Producer's gas. The amount of such payment shall
be percent (-0- %) of the sum determined by aggregating the results obtained by
multiplying the volume of each Component Plant Product attributable to
Producer's Processed Volume by the weighted average monthly sales price for each
such Component Plant Product. After the Processor's share of the liquid revenue
totals one hundred percent (100%) of plant capital cost, the percentage above
shall be changed to (50%).

8.2 DELETED N/A

8.3 Before the Processor shall pay the keep whole amount defined in paragraph
8.2, Producer shall provide Processor with a copy of the statement from
Purchaser which defines the price paid for Residue gas in $/MMBtu for the
applicable period.

8.4 The "weighted average monthly sales price" of a particular Component Plant
Product shall be determined by dividing the total value invoiced for deliveries
of the particular Component Plant Product during the month by the total net
deliveries of the particular Component Plant Product during the month. The total
value invoiced shall be adjusted to an FOB Plant basis and may include without
limitation, adjustments for the excess outage, impurities and contamination
claims allowed, sales commissions not to exceed two and five-tenths percent,
transportation costs and similar costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the marketing of Plant Products.

8.5 In the event Processor or Producer takes deliveries of a portion of the
Plant Products produced during the month for its own account, or sells same to
an affiliated company, the weighted average monthly sales price of such portion
of Plant Product so taken or sold shall be established based on sales of a
similar quantity of like product under the same or similar conditions in the
immediate area.

8.6 Each party shall cause to be preserved for one (1) year all records
pertaining to the processing of gas hereunder. All statements shall be final as
to both parties unless questioned within one (1) year after payment thereof has
been made.

8.7 Producer shall have the right at reasonable times during normal office hours
and at its expense to examine the books and records of Processor which pertain
to the basis of payment hereunder at Processor's office where same is kept. In
the event an error is discovered in the amount shown to be due on any statement
rendered by Processor, such error shall be adjusted without penalty or interest
as soon as reasonably possible but in any event within one (1) year after
payment thereof has been made.

8.8 Processor shall on or about the last day of each month render to Producer a
statement of account for Producer's gas processed during the preceding calendar
month. Processor shall make payment to Producer within ten (10) days after such
statement is rendered. Processor may deduct from its payment to Producer sums,
if any, due Processor under the terms hereof.

8.9 In the event any Dedicated Lease is owned by two or more parties, payment of
sums due Producer shall be made to the party designated as Producer's
Representative.

8.10 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Processor shall
have the option but not the obligation to replace any fuel, shrinkage,
keep-whole amount or other such losses for which Producer is entitled to payment
with an amount of Residue Gas purchased or otherwise furnished by Processor
equal in value to the amount of such fuel, shrinkage, keep-whole amount or other
such losses for which Producer is entitled to payment. Processor agrees to
indemnify and hold Producer harmless from any suits, actions, debts, damages,
expenses, or losses of every kind arising out of such replaced gas.

                                   ARTICLE IX

WARRANTY OF TITLE
-----------------

9.1 Producer hereby warrants title to all Plant Products extracted and saved in

agreement with respect to gas from the Dedicated Leases, that it owns and holds
the exclusive right to process gas from the Dedicated Leases in the manner
herein contemplated and has the right to grant, assign and convey same to

of any and all persons whomsoever to or against the gas from Dedicated Leases,
Plant Products derived therefrom, the right of Processor to process gas from
Dedicated Leases as herein contemplated and against any proceeds from or the
value of any of same. If the title or rights of Producer are questioned or
involved in any action, Processor shall have the right to withhold without
interest during the pendency of such action until said title or rights are free
from such question or such action is

                                       9

finally determined, or until Producer furnishes bond conditioned to save
Processor harmless, with surety acceptable to the Processor, or such other
indemnity satisfactory to Processor.

DEFAULT
-------

14.1 If either party shall fail to perform any of the covenants and obligations
imposed upon it under and by virtue of this Agreement (except where such failure
shall be excused under any of the provisions of this Agreement), then in such
event the other party may at its option terminate this Agreement by proceeding
as follows: The party not in default shall cause a written notice to be served
on the party in default, stating specifically the cause for terminating this
Agreement and declaring it to be the intention of the party giving the notice to
terminate same, thereupon the party in default shall have sixty (60) days after
the service of the aforesaid notice in which to remedy or remove cause or causes
stated in the notice for terminating this Agreement, and, if within said period
of sixty (60) days the party in default does so remove or remedy said cause or
causes and fully indemnifies and/or reimburses the party not in default for any
and all damages, losses and consequences of such breach, then such notice shall
be withdrawn and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In case
the party in default does not so remedy or remove the cause or causes or does
not indemnify and/or reimburse the party giving the notice for any and all
damages, losses and consequences of such breach within said period of sixty (60)
days, then this Agreement shall at the expiration of said sixty (60) day period,
terminate except as to all accrued obligations not yet discharged; provided,
however, that if such default be remedied, but no indemnification therefore has
been made due to a bona fide dispute between the parties as to the amount
thereof, then this Agreement shall not terminate, but the party not in default
shall have the right to seek indemnification in any manner provided by law or by
this agreement. Any cancellation of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of
this Article shall be without prejudice to the right of the party not in default
to collect any amounts then due it; provided, however, the provisions herein for
termination of this Agreement shall not apply if the failure of Processor
involves failure to pay any sum or amount due hereunder, and Processor's refusal
to pay is a bona fide dispute, and Processor pays all amounts not in dispute;
provided, further, however, that any termination of this Agreement for breach
shall be carried out by the party not in default exclusively to the provisions
set out in this Article.

                                   ARTICLE XV

an interest in any properties described in Exhibit "A". If such owner executes
and delivers to Processor an instrument in writing ratifying and adopting this
Agreement insofar as such owner's interest in any such properties is concerned
and such written instrument is accepted by Processor as hereinafter provided,
such owner shall become a party Producer under this Agreement with like force
and effect, and to the same extent, as though such owner had executed this
Agreement on the first day of the month following such owner's execution; and
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall thereupon become binding
upon Processor and any such party Producer. It is understood and agreed that any
such additional owner shall, upon request by Processor, deliver to Processor a
title opinion identifying ownership and setting forth the current interest held
