      in any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or business
      organization, entity or enterprise that competes with or is engaged in a
      business which is substantially similar to the business of the Company except
      that ownership of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities
      of any class of any publicly held entity shall not be deemed a violation of
      this
      Section 2.5; provided,
      further,
      that
      any investment specifically listed on Schedule A shall not be deemed a violation
      of this Section 2.5.

      the
      Company, or would otherwise be deemed to constitute an opportunity appropriate

      opportunities do not have a material adverse effect on the performance of the

    3.3 Equity-Based
      Compensation.
      The
      Executive shall be entitled to participate in all equity-based compensation
      plans offered by the Company to the same extent as provided to other senior
      executives of the Company and as determined by the Board of Directors. The
      Executive understands that as of the date of this Agreement, the only
      equity-based plan offered by the Company is the 2005 Long-term Incentive
      Plan.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, effective January 1, 2008, the Executive
      shall be entitled to 20,000 restricted shares of Teton common stock, which
      shall
      vest in equal increments over a period of three years and be subject to a
      restricted stock agreement in a form substantially similar to the form of

      grant of 100,000 (base objective) or 200,000 (stretch objective) performance
      share units (or such similar form of award as the Compensation Committee may
      determine) under the Company’s Long-term Incentive Plan at the next regularly
      scheduled grant (which normally occurs during the first quarter of the Company’s
      fiscal year). The Executive understands that this target is in respect of the
      first grant for which the Executive becomes eligible and that future grants,
      if
      any, will be subject to the discretion of the Compensation
      Committee.

     

    Upon
      a
      Change of Control, all equity-based compensation will be treated in the same
      manner as if Executive’s employment was terminated by the Company Without
      Cause.

      In Benefit Plans.
      

     

    (a) Retirement

      periods, in all qualified retirement plans provided to other executive officers
      and other key employees.

     

    (b) Taxes.
      The
      Company shall pay, on a grossed-up basis for federal, state, and local income
      taxes, the amount of any excise tax payable by Executive as a result of any
      payments triggered by this Agreement, or other compensation agreements between
      Executive and the Company, or any of its subsidiaries and any income tax payable
      by Executive as a result of any payments in Common Stock triggered by this
      Agreement or other compensation agreements between Executive and the Company,
      or
      any of its subsidiaries, except as might otherwise be provided such benefit
      plan.

     

    (c) Employee
      Benefit Plans and Insurance.
      The
      Executive shall have the right to participate in employee benefit plans and
      insurance programs of the Company that the Company may sponsor from time to
      time
      and to receive customary Company benefits, if those benefits are so offered
      to
      other senior executives of the Company. Nothing herein shall obligate the
      Executive to accept such benefits if and when they are offered.

     

    (d) Vacation.

     

    (i) The
      Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation per calendar year,
      which vacation level shall be reviewed by the Board from time to time. No more
      than 1.5 times (1.5x) Executive’s authorized annual vacation allocation may be
      accrued, at any given time. In the event that Executive has reached his maximum
      authorized vacation allocation, accrual will not re-commence until Executive
      uses some of his paid vacation credit and thereby brings the balance below
      his
      maximum. Accrued paid vacation credit forfeited because of an excess balance
      can
      not be retroactively reapplied.

      only be provided for any unused, accrued paid vacation credit at the time of
      Executive’s separation from the business by the Company due to a reduction in
      force, by Executive upon retirement, or upon the death of an employee, provided
      that Executive has been a regular full-time employee for three calendar months
      prior to such event. Termination of employment for Cause by the Company, or
      Executive’s resignation, will result in the forfeiture of any unused paid
      vacation credit.

     

    (e) Paid
      Holidays.
      The
      Executive shall be entitled to such paid holidays as are generally available
      to
      all employees. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company’s employees are
      permitted to observe ten (10) paid holidays.

      injury or disease or any other incapacity due to mental or physical illness)
      after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive
      by the CEO or the Board, which specifically identifies the manner in which
      the
      CEO or the Board believes the Executive has not substantially performed the
      Executive’s duties; or 

     

    (ii) the
      willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that
      is
      materially and demonstrably detrimental to the Company and/or its affiliated
      companies, monetarily or otherwise. 

    

    For
      purposes of this provision, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the
      Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by
      the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s
      action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure
      to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by
      the
      Board, upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or another senior
      officer of Company, or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall
      be
      conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in
      good faith and in the best interests of the Company and its affiliated
      companies. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed
      to
      be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive
      a
      copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
      two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board then in office at a meeting
      of
      the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided
      to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with
      counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion
      of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph
      (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     

    (iii) the
      Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony of theft,
      fraud, embezzlement or violent crime.

    (b) Termination
      Without Cause.

     

    All
      terminations by the Company that are not for Cause, or on the occasion of the
      Executive’s death or disability, or that are not terminations during the 60-day
      period prior to any anniversary date as provided in Section 2.2 or Section
      4.5,
      shall be considered Without Cause.

     

    4.4 Termination
      by Executive.
      The
      Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder (x) at any
      time during the Employment Term for Good Reason (as defined below) or (y) during
      the Window Period (as defined below) Without Good Reason. For purposes of this
      Agreement, the “Window Period” shall mean the 30-day period immediately
      following the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and “Good Reason” shall
      mean any of the following (without the Executive’s express written consent):

     

    (a) The
      assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with
      the
      Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting
      requirements), duties, functions, responsibilities or authority as contemplated
      by Section 2.3 of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company that
      results in a diminution in such position, duties, functions, responsibilities
      or
      authority, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent
      action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly
      after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

     

    (b) Any
      failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 2.3
      of
      this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action
      not
      taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt
      of notice thereof given by the Executive; 

     

    (c) The
      Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other
      than as provided in Section 2.8 of this Agreement or the Company’s requiring the
      Executive to travel on the Company’s or its affiliated companies’ business to a
      substantially greater extent than during the three-year period immediately
      preceding the Effective Date; 

    

    (d) Any
      failure by the Company to provide Executive with the compensation provided
      for
      in Article III, which is not promptly remedied by the Company after notice
      thereof given by Executive;

     

    (e) Any
      failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 8.1 of this Agreement;
      or 

     

    (f) Any
      purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment hereunder
      otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement, and for purposes of
      this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective. 

    

    For
      purposes of this Section 4.4, any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made
      by the Executive shall be conclusive. 

     

    4.5 Termination
      without Prejudice.
      The
      Company or Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time during the 60-day
      period prior to each Automatic Extension.

    4.6 Notice
      of Termination.
      Any
      termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder by the Company or by the
      Executive (other than a termination pursuant to Section 4.1) shall be
      communicated by a Notice of Termination (as defined below) to the other party
      hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
      notice which (a) indicates the specific termination provision in this
      Agreement relied upon, (b) in the case of a termination for Disability,
      Cause or Good Reason, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
      circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s
      employment under the provision so indicated, and (c) specifies the Date of
      Termination (as defined in Section 4.7 below); provided, however, that
      notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Notice of
      Termination given in connection with a termination (i) for Cause shall be given
      by the Company, or (ii) for Good Reason shall be given by the Executive, within
      a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 120 days, following the
      occurrence of or the discovery of the event giving rise to such right of
      termination. The failure by the Company or the Executive to set forth in the
      Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing
      of
      Disability, Cause or Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Company or
      the
      Executive hereunder or preclude the Company or the Executive from asserting
      such
      fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s or the Executive’s rights
      hereunder. 

     

    4.7 Date
      of Termination.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement, the “Date of Termination” shall mean the effective
      date of termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, which date shall be
      (a) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive’s death,
      the date of the Executive’s death, (b) if the Executive’s employment is
      terminated because of the Executive’s Disability, the Disability Effective Date,
      (c) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (or
      applicable affiliated company) for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason,
      the date on which the Notice of Termination is given, (d) if the
      Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 2.2, the date on which
      the Employment Term ends pursuant to Section 2.2 due to a party’s delivery of a
      Notice of Termination thereunder, and (e) if the Executive’s employment is
      terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of
      Termination, which date shall in no event be earlier than the date such notice
      is given; provided, however, that if within 30 days after any
      Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination
      notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination,
      the
      Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally
      determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a final
      judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
      appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected).

     

    4.8 Obligations
      of the Company upon Termination.
      

     

    (a) Good
      Reason or During the Window Period; Other Than for Cause, Death or
      Disability.
      If,
      during the Employment Term, the Company (or applicable affiliated company)
      shall
      terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder other than for Cause, Death or
      Disability or the Executive shall terminate the Executive’s employment either
      for Good Reason or Without Good Reason during the Window Period: 

     

    (i) the
      Company shall pay to the Executive (either in a lump sum or on in equal monthly
      installments over a 12-month period after the Date of Termination, at the
      Company’s option) the sum
      of
      (1)  that portion of Executive’s Base Salary that was not previously paid
      to the Executive from the last payment date through the Date of Termination,
      and
      (2) an
      amount equal to 12 months salary at the level of the Executive’s Base Salary
      then in effect, (such 12 months amount is hereinafter referred to as the
“Severance Amount”);

     

    (ii) all
      stock
      options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock shall immediately
      vest;

    (iii) all
      stock
      options and stock appreciation rights shall be payable in Common Stock;

    

    (iv) all
      performance share units that would vest in the course of any fiscal year shall
      vest on a pro rata basis; and

    

    (v) the
      Company shall pay, on a grossed-up basis (as determined in the same manner
      as
      under Section 3.4(b) herein) the amount of any excise and income taxes payable
      by Executive as a result of any payments in Common Stock triggered by this
      Agreement, or other agreements between Executive and the Company, or any of
      its
      subsidiaries.

     

    To
      the
      extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide
      to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided
      or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy,
      practice or arrangement or contract or agreement of the Company and its
      affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits hereinafter referred
      to as
      the “Other Benefits”).

     

    (b) Death.
      If the
      Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during
      the Employment Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further compensation
      obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other
      than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations (which shall be paid to the
      Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within
      90 days of the Date of Termination) and the timely payment or settlement of
      any other amount pursuant to the Other Benefits and (ii)
      treatment of all other compensation under existing plans as provided by the
      terms and rules of those plans.

     

    (c) Disability.
      If the
      Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability
      during the Employment Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further
      compensation obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of Accrued
      Obligations (which shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within
      90 days of the Date of Termination) and the timely payment or settlement of
      any other amount pursuant to the Other Benefits, and (ii) treatment of all
      other compensation under existing plans as provided by the terms and rules
      of
      those plans.

     

    
      (d) Cause;
        Other than for Good Reason or During the Window Period.
        If the
        Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Term, this
        Agreement shall terminate without further compensation obligations to the
        Executive other than the obligation to pay the Executive the Base Salary

        the Date of Termination plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred
        by the Executive, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid and to reimburse
        expenses pursuant to Section 3.4(g) incurred prior to the Termination Date.
        If
        the Executive voluntarily terminates the Executive’s employment during the
        Employment Term, excluding a termination either for (i) Good Reason or (ii)
        Without Good Reason during the Window Period, this Agreement shall terminate
        without further compensation obligations to the Executive, other than for
        the

        Executive from the last payment date through the effective date of the
        Executive’s voluntary termination plus the amount of any compensation previously
        deferred by the Executive, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid,
        to
        reimburse expenses pursuant to Section 3.4(g) incurred prior to the Termination
        Date and the timely payment or provision of the Other Benefits, as provided
        in
        any applicable plan; and the Executive shall have no further obligations
        nor
        liability to the Company. In such case, any amounts owed to the Executive
        shall
        be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 90 days of the Date
        of Termination subject to applicable laws and regulations.

    4.9 Continuation
      of Payments During Disputes.
      The
      Parties agree that in the case of:

     

    (a) termination
      which the Company contends is for Cause, but Executive claims is not for Cause;
      or 

     

    (b) termination
      by Executive under Section 4.4 herein,

     

    the
      Company shall continue to pay all compensation due to the Executive hereunder
      until the resolution of such dispute, but the Company shall be entitled to
      repayment of all sums so paid, if ultimately it shall be determined by a court
      of competent jurisdiction, in a final non-appealable decision, that the
      termination was for Cause or such termination by Executive was not authorized
      under Section 4.4 herein, and all sums so repaid shall bear interest from the
      date from the date on which such court makes such determination at the prime
      rate as published in The
      Wall Street Journal
      on the
      date on which such court makes such determination. Any such reimbursement of
      payments by the Executive shall not include any legal fees or other loss, costs,
      or expenses incurred by the Company, notwithstanding any provision of the
      Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit
      A
      and is
      considered a part of this Agreement.

      Non-Competition; and Non-Solicitation.
      

     

    6.1 Confidentiality.
      In
      consideration of employment by the Company and the Executive’s receipt of the
      salary and other benefits associated with the Executive’s employment, and in
      acknowledgment that (a) the Company is engaged in the oil and gas business,
      (b)
      maintains secret and confidential information, (c) during the course of the
      Executive’s employment by the Company such secret or confidential information
      may become known to the Executive, and (d) full protection of the Company’s
      business makes it essential that no employee appropriate for his or her own
      use,
      or disclose such secret or confidential information, the Executive agrees that
      during the time of the Executive’s employment and for a period of one (1) year
      following the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the
      Executive agrees to hold in strict confidence and shall not, directly or
      indirectly, disclose or reveal to any person, or use for his own personal
      benefit or for the benefit of anyone else, any trade secrets, confidential
      dealings, or other confidential or proprietary information of any kind, nature,
      or description (whether or not acquired, learned, obtained, or developed by
      Executive alone or in conjunction with others) belonging to or concerning the
      Company or any of its subsidiaries, except (i) with the prior written consent
      of
      the Company duly authorized by its Board, (ii) in the course of the proper
      performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, (iii) for information (x) that
      becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of unauthorized
      disclosure by Executive or his affiliates or (y) that becomes available to
      the
      Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company
      or
      its subsidiaries who is not bound by a duty of confidentiality, or other
      contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation, to the Company, or (iv) as required
      by applicable law or legal process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
      is not intended, nor shall be construed, to prohibit the Executive’s use of the
      Executive’s general knowledge, skill and experience or the Executive’s inventive
      powers.

    6.2 Non-Competition.
      During
      the Executive’s employment with the Company and for so long as the Executive
      receives any Severance Benefit or is receiving any Severance Amount as provided
      in Section 4.8(a)(i) in respect of the termination of his employment, Executive
      shall not be engaged as an officer or executive of, or in any way be associated
      in a management or ownership capacity with any corporation, company, partnership
      or other enterprise or venture which conducts a business which is in direct
      competition with the business of the Company; provided,
      however,
      that
      Executive may own not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities,
      or equivalent equity interests, of any class of any corporation, company,
      partnership, or enterprise that is in direct competition with the business
      of
      the Company, which securities are listed on a national securities exchange
      or
      traded in the over-the-counter market. For purposes of this Agreement, if the
      Executive is paid a lump sum Severance Amount then it shall be deemed that
      the
      Executive is continuing to receive a Severance Benefit or Severance Amount
      for
      the number of months of the Executive’s Base Salary represented by the lump sum
      payment. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law for breach of this
      covenant is inadequate and that injunctive relief shall be available to prevent
      the breach thereof.

     

    6.3 Non-Solicitation.
      The
      Executive also agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the
      term
      of his employment or within one (1) year after termination of his employment
      for
      any reason, in any manner, encourage, persuade, or induce any other employee
      of
      the Company to terminate his employment, or any person or entity engaged by
      the
      Company to represent it to terminate that relationship without the express
      written approval of the Company. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at
      law
      for breach of this covenant is inadequate and that injunctive relief shall
      be
      available to prevent the breach thereof.

      Definitions.

     

    7.1 Change
      of Control Effective Date.
      The
“Change of Control Effective Date” shall mean the first date during the Change
      of Control Period (as defined in Section 7.2) on which a Change of Control

      of Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with the Company (or
      applicable affiliated company) is terminated prior to the date on which the
      Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive
      that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party
      who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or
      (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of
      Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Change of Control
      Effective Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such
      termination of employment. 

     

    7.2 Change
      of Control Period.
      The
“Change of Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of this
      Agreement and ending on the third anniversary of such date; provided,
      however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on
      each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary
      thereof herein referred to as the “Renewal Date”), the Change of Control Period
      shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years after such
      Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company
      shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall
      not
      be so extended.

      purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean: 

     

    (a) the
      acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section
      13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership
      (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
      15% or more of either (A) the then outstanding Common Shares the Company
      (the “Outstanding Shares”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then
      outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in
      the
      election of directors (the “Outstanding Voting Securities”); provided,
      however,
      that
      for purposes of this Subsection 7.3(a) the following acquisitions shall not
      constitute a Change of Control: (w) Company-sponsored recapitalization that
      is approved by the Incumbent Board, as defined below; (x) a capital raise
      initiated by the Company where the Incumbent Board remains for at least at
      least
      548 days after the closing date of the raise, or (y) an acquisition of another
      company or asset(s) initiated by the Company and where the Company’s
      shareholders immediately after the transaction own at least 51% of the equity
      of
      the combined concern; or 

     

    (b) individuals
      who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Company’s Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of such Board
      of Directors; provided,
      however,
      that
      any individual becoming a director of the Company shareholders subsequent to
      the
      date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s
      shareholders was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors of the
      Company then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such
      individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
      purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
      result of either an actual or threatened election contest or other actual or
      threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person
      other
      than the Company Board; or 

     

    (c) consummation
      of a reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company,
      with
      or without approval by the shareholders of the Company, in each case, unless,
      following such reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation,
      (i) more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
      stock (or equivalent security) of the company resulting from such
      reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation and the combined voting
      power of the then outstanding voting securities of such company entitled to
      vote
      generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly
      or
      indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
      were
      the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Shares and Outstanding
      Voting Securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, amalgamation
      or consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
      immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation,
      of the Outstanding Shares and Outstanding Voting Securities, as the case may
      be,
      (ii) no Person (excluding a parent of the Company that may come into being
      after the date of this Agreement through any transaction deliberately undertaken
      by the Company after an affirmative vote of its Incumbent Directors and the
      Company shareholders), any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
      Company or such company resulting from such reorganization, merger, amalgamation
      or consolidation, and any Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to
      such
      reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation, directly or indirectly,
      15% or more of the Outstanding Shares or Outstanding Voting Securities, as
      the
      case may be) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of,
      respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock (or equivalent
      security) of the company resulting from such reorganization, merger,

      outstanding voting securities of such company entitled to vote generally in
      the
      election of directors, and (ii) a majority of the members of the board of
      directors of the company resulting from such reorganization, merger,
      amalgamation or consolidation were members of the Incumbent Board at the time
      of
      the execution of the initial agreement providing for such reorganization,
      merger, amalgamation or consolidation; or

    8.2 Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of
      the
      State of Colorado without resort to any principle of conflict of laws that
      would
      require application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided,
      however,
      that
      Delaware law shall govern with respect to the Executive’s rights under a Change
      of Control under Article Seven herein.

     

    8.3 Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in counterparts and via facsimile, each of which
      shall
      be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute
      one and the same Agreement. Each such counterpart shall become effective when
      one counterpart has been signed by each Party thereto.

     

    8.4 Headings.
      The
      headings of the various articles and sections of this Agreement are for
      convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement
      or considered in construing the provisions thereof.

     

    8.5 Severability.
      Any
      term or provision of this Agreement that shall be prohibited or declared invalid
      or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
      ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or declaration, without
      invalidating the remaining terms and provisions hereof or affecting the validity
      or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and if any term
      or provision of this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction
      to
      be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable in any given circumstance or
      situation, then all other terms and provisions hereof, being severable, shall
      remain in full force and effect in such circumstance or situation, and such
      term
      or provision shall remain valid and in effect in any other circumstances or
      situation.

     

    8.6 Construction.
      Use of
      the masculine pronoun herein shall be deemed to refer to the feminine and neuter
      genders and the use of singular references shall be deemed to include the plural
      and vice versa, as appropriate. No inference in favor of or against any Party
      shall be drawn from the fact that such Party or such Party’s counsel has drafted
      any portion of this Agreement.

     

    8.7 Equitable
      Remedies.
      The
      Parties hereto agree that, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by either
      Party, the other Party, if not then in breach of this Agreement, may be without
      an adequate remedy at law owing to the unique nature of the contemplated
      relationship. In recognition thereof, in addition to (and not in lieu of) any
      remedies at law that may be available to the non-breaching Party, the
      non-breaching Party shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including
      the
      remedies of specific performance and injunction, in the event of a breach of
      this Agreement, by the Party in breach, and no attempt on the part of the
      non-breaching Party to obtain such equitable relief shall be deemed to
      constitute an election of remedies by the non-breaching Party that would
      preclude the non-breaching Party from obtaining any remedies at law to which
      it
      would otherwise be entitled.

     

    8.8 Attorney’s
      Fees.
      If any
      Party hereto shall bring an action at law or in equity to enforce its rights
      under this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action shall be entitled
      to
      recover from the Party against whom enforcement is sought its costs and expenses
      incurred in connection with such action (including fees, disbursements and
      expenses of attorneys and costs of investigation). In
      the
      event that Executive institutes any legal action to enforce Executive’s legal
      rights hereunder, or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, Executive,
      if Executive prevails in whole or in part, shall be entitled to recover from
      the
      Company reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Executive with
      respect to the claims or matters on which Executive has prevailed.

    8.9 No
      Waiver.
      No
      failure, delay or omission of or by any Party in exercising any right, power
      or
      remedy upon any breach or default of any other Party, or otherwise, shall impair
      any such rights, powers or remedies of the Party not in breach or default,
      nor
      shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy, or
      an
      acquiescence in any similar breach or default; nor shall any waiver of any
      single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
      theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval
      of
      any kind or character on the part of any Party of any provisions of this
      Agreement must be in writing and be executed by the Parties and shall be
      effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such
      writing.

     

    8.10 Remedies
      Cumulative.
      All
      remedies provided in this Agreement, by law or otherwise, shall be cumulative
      and not alternative. 

     

    8.11 Amendment.
      This
      Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by all of the Parties
      hereto.

     

    8.12 Entire

      This
      Agreement and the documents and instruments referred to herein constitute the
      entire contract between the parties to this Agreement and supersede all other
      understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this
      Agreement.

     

    8.13 Survival.
      This
      Agreement shall constitute a binding obligation of the Company and any successor
      thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the obligations
      under Articles 5 and 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     

    8.14 Savings
      Clause.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the indemnification
      provisions in Exhibit
      A
      hereto
      or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of
      competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Executive
      as to Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
      with
      respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion
      of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
      permitted by applicable law.

     

    8.15 Modifications
      and Waivers.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnification
      provisions in Exhibit
      A
      hereto
      and the Change of Control provisions Article Seven herein, may be amended from
      time to time to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other
      reasons.

    Exhibit

    Indemnification
      Agreement

     

    INDEMNIFICATION
      AGREEMENT

     

    This
      INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated and effective as of January
      1, 2008, and is made by and between Teton Energy Corporation a Delaware
      corporation (the “Company”), and Lonnie Brock, an officer or director of the
      Company (the “Indemnitee”).

     

    RECITALS

     

    A. The
      Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly
      reluctant to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are
      protected by comprehensive liability insurance and/or indemnification, due
      to
      increased exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service
      to
      such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no
      reasonable relationship to the compensation of such directors and
      officers;

     

    B. The
      Board
      of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has concluded that, to retain and
      attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as officers and directors
      of the Company and to encourage such individuals to make the business decisions
      necessary or appropriate for the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries
      (as
      defined in Section 1 below), it is necessary for the Company contractually
      to
      indemnify its directors and certain of its officers, and certain of the
      directors and officers of its Subsidiaries, and to assume for itself maximum
      permissible liability for Expenses, losses, liabilities and damages in
      connection with claims against such officers and directors relating to their
      service in such capacities, and has further concluded that the failure to
      provide such contractual indemnification could result in significant harm to
      the
      Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company’s stockholders;

     

    C. The
      statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers
      are often difficult to apply, ambiguous, or conflicting, and therefore fail
      to
      provide such directors and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of legal
      risks to which they are exposed or information regarding the proper course
      of
      action to take;

     

    D. Plaintiffs
      often seek damages in such large amounts and the costs of litigation may be
      so
      great (whether or not the case is meritorious), that the defense and/or
      settlement of such litigation may be beyond the personal resources of directors
      and officers;

     

    E. Section
      145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, under which the Company is
      organized (the “GCL”), empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its
      officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request
      of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other
      corporations or enterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification
      provided by the GCL is not exclusive; further the provisions of the Amended
      Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”)
      specifically state that the rights to indemnification and payment of expenses
      described therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts
      with
      respect to indemnification and payment of Expenses by the Company and similar
      obligations of the Company may be entered into by and between the Company and
      persons entitled to such rights described in the Certificate of Incorporation;
      and

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    F. The
      Company desires and has requested the Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve
      as a director or officer of the Company. As an inducement to serve and in
      consideration for such service, the Company has agreed to indemnify the
      Indemnitee for claims for damages arising out of or related to the performance
      of such services to the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions
      set
      forth in this Agreement.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree
      as
      follows:

     

    1. Definitions.

     

    1.1.
      Agent.
      For the purposes of this Agreement, “Agent” of the Company means any person who
      is or at any time was a director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary
      of
      the Company; or is or at any time was serving at the request of, for the
      convenience of, or to represent the interest of the Company or a subsidiary
      of
      the Company as a director or officer of another foreign or domestic corporation,
      partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or an affiliate of the
      Company; or was a director or officer of another enterprise or affiliate of
      the
      Company at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interests
      of such predecessor corporation. The term “enterprise” includes any employee
      benefit plan of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessor
      corporations.

     

    1.2.
      Change
      in
      Control. “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring
      after January 1, 2008, of a nature that would be required to be reported in
      response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to
      any
      similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to
      such reporting requirement; provided,
      however,
      that,
      without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
      if
      after January 1, 2008, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)
      and 14(d) of the Act) other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
      under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly
      or
      indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
      proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or
      indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the
      combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities without the
      prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors
      of the Company in office immediately prior to such person attaining such
      percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a
      party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other
      reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the board
      of directors of the Company then in office, as a consequence of which members
      of
      the board of directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event
      constitute less than a majority of the board of directors thereafter; or (iii)
      during any period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event
      described in clause (ii) of this subsection (c), individuals who at the
      beginning of such period constituted the board of directors of the Company
      (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for
      election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least
      two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the
      beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
      of the board of directors.

    1.3.
      Company.
      As used herein the term “Company” includes all successors and assigns to the
      Company, including, without limitation, any corporation or other entity that
      is
      a successor to the Company by virtue of a Change in Control.

     

    1.4.
      Controlled.
      “Controlled” means subject to the power to exercise a controlling influence over
      the management or policies of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
      or other entity.

     

    1.5.
      Expenses.
      For purposes of this Agreement, “Expenses” includes all direct and indirect
      costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
      attorneys’ fees and related disbursements and retainers, costs of travel, other
      out-of-pocket costs such as fees and disbursements of expert witnesses, private
      investigators and professional advisors, court costs, transcript costs, fees
      of
      experts, duplicating, printing, and binding costs, telephone and fax
      transmission charges, postage, delivery services, secretarial services and
      other
      disbursements and expenses and reasonable compensation for time spent by the
      Indemnitee for which he is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any
      third
      party) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with
      the
      investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing
      a
      right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement,
      Section 145 of the GCL or otherwise.

     

    1.6.
      Proceeding.
      For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Proceeding” means any threatened,
      pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution
      process, investigation, administrative hearing, appeal, inquiry or other
      proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or any other
      type whatsoever, whether formal or informal, including a proceeding initiated
      by
      Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement to enforce Indemnitee’s
      rights hereunder.

     

    1.7.
      Subsidiary.
      For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” means any corporation, partnership,
      limited liability company, trust, joint venture, or other entity of which more
      than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities is owned directly
      or indirectly by the Company, by the Company and one or more of its subsidiaries
      or by one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries.

     

    2. Agreement
      to Serve.
      The
      Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or continue to serve as an agent of the Company,
      at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such agreement
      exists), in the capacity the Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of the
      Company, faithfully and to the best of his ability, so long as he is duly
      appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions
      of the charter documents of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;
      provided, however, that the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign
      from such position (subject to any contractual obligation that the Indemnitee
      may have assumed apart from this Agreement), and the Company or any Subsidiary
      shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Indemnitee in
      any
      such position. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and Indemnitee each
      acknowledge and agree that the resignation or other termination of Indemnitee
      as
      an agent of the Company under this paragraph 2 shall not impair any right that
      Indemnitee may otherwise have to be indemnified under the terms of this
      Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    3. Directors’
      and Officers’ Insurance.
      The
      Company shall, to the extent that the Board determines it to be economically
      reasonable, maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
      (“D&O Insurance”), on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the
      Board.

     

    4. Mandatory
      Indemnification.
      Subject
      to Section 9 below, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless
      to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL. Without limiting the generality
      of
      the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee
      as
      follows:

     

    4.1.
      Third
      Party Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is
      threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or
      in
      the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or at any time was
      an
      agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any
      such capacity, against any and all claims, expenses and liabilities of any
      type
      whatsoever (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines,
      ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
      reasonably incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense,
      settlement or appeal of such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
      manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
      of
      the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
      reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and/or

     

    4.2.
      Derivative
      Actions. If the Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party or is threatened
      to
      be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure
      a
      judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or at any time was an
      agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any
      such capacity, against any and all claims, expenses and liabilities, including
      without limitation attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement of any such
      proceeding and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in
      connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such
      proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
      to
      be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; except that no
      indemnification under this subsection shall be made in respect of any claim,
      issue or matter as to which such person shall have been finally adjudged, in
      a
      judgment not subject to appeal, to be liable to the Company by a court of
      competent jurisdiction due to willful misconduct of a culpable nature in the
      performance of his duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that
      the
      Court of Chancery in Delaware or the court in which such proceeding was brought
      shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
      but
      in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
      reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts which the Court of Chancery
      or
      such other court shall deem proper; and/or

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4.3.
      Exception
      for Amounts Covered by Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
      shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities
      of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA
      excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such
      have been paid directly to the Indemnitee by D&O Insurance.

     

    5. Partial
      Indemnification and Contribution.

     

    5.1.
      Partial
      Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
      Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any
      expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited
      to,
      judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
      settlement) incurred by him in the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal
      of a proceeding but is not entitled, however, to indemnification for all of
      the
      total amount thereof, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the
      Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which
      the
      Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

     

    5.2.  Contribution.
      If the Indemnitee is not entitled to the indemnification provided in Section
      4
      for any reason other than the statutory limitations set forth in the GCL, then
      in respect of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding in which the
      Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
      proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses (including
      attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
      reasonably incurred and paid or payable by the Indemnitee in such proportion
      as
      is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company
      on
      the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from
      which such proceeding arose and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the
      one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events
      which resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as
      well
      as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
      Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be
      determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent,
      knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the
      circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement
      amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if
      contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation
      or any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the foregoing
      equitable considerations.

     

    6. Mandatory
      Advancement of Expenses.

     

    6.1.
      Advancement.
      Subject to Section 9 below, the Company shall advance all expenses incurred
      by
      the Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, participation, defense,
      settlement or appeal of any proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party or
      is
      threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is
      or at
      any time was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything done or not done
      by him in any such capacity. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes promptly to repay
      such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately
      be
      determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company
      under the provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, or
      Bylaws of the Company, the GCL or otherwise. The advances to be made hereunder
      shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following
      delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee to the
      Company.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    6.2.
      Exception.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, the Company shall
      not be obligated to advance any expenses to the Indemnitee arising from a
      lawsuit filed directly by the Company against the Indemnitee if an absolute
      majority of the members of the Board reasonably determines in good faith, within
      thirty (30) days of the Indemnitee’s request to be advanced expenses, that the
      facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly
      and convincingly that the Indemnitee acted in bad faith. If such a determination
      is made, the Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed by another forum, in
      the
      manner set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, with all references
      therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to “advancement of expenses,”
and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate clearly and
      convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, the Indemnitee acted
      in
      bad faith. The Company may not avail itself of this Section 6.2 as to a given
      lawsuit if, at any time after the occurrence of the activities or omissions
      that
      are the primary focus of the lawsuit, the Company has undergone a change in
      control. For this purpose, a change in control shall mean a given person or
      group of affiliated persons or groups increasing their beneficial ownership
      interest in the Company by at least fifteen (15) percentage points without
      advance Board approval.

     

    7. Notice
      and Other Indemnification Procedures.

     

    7.1.
      Promptly
      after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat
      of commencement of any proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if the Indemnitee
      believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the
      Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat
      of commencement thereof.

     

    7.2.
      If,
      at
      the time of the receipt of a notice of the commencement of a proceeding pursuant
      to Section 7.1 hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company
      shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers
      in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The
      Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such
      insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result
      of
      such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance
      policies.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    7.3.
      In
      the
      event the Company shall be obligated to advance the expenses for any proceeding
      against the Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume
      the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which
      approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the
      Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such
      notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such
      counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under
      this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee
      with respect to the same proceeding, provided that: (a) the Indemnitee shall
      have the right to employ his own counsel in any such proceeding at the
      Indemnitee’s expense; (b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own
      counsel in connection with any such proceeding, at the expense of the Company,
      if such counsel serves in a review, observer, advice, and counseling capacity
      and does not otherwise materially control or participate in the defense of
      such
      proceeding; or (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been
      previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably
      concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and
      the
      Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not,
      in
      fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then
      the
      fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the
      Company.

     

    8. Determination
      of Right to Indemnification.

     

    8.1.
      To
      the
      extent the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
      of any proceeding referred to in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or in
      the
      defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall
      indemnify the Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
      by
      him in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding,
      or such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be, including without limitation
      Indemnitee’s attorneys’ fees.

     

    8.2.
      In
      the
      event that Section 8.1 is inapplicable, or does not apply to the entire
      proceeding, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify the Indemnitee unless the
      Company shall prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum listed in
      Section 8.3 below that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
      conduct required to entitle the Indemnitee to such indemnification.

     

    8.3.
      The
      Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the
      Company’s claim under Section 8.2 hereof that the Indemnitee is not entitled to
      indemnification will be heard from among the following:

     

    (a) a
      quorum
      of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding
      for
      which indemnification is being sought;

     

    (b) the
      stockholders of the Company, provided however that the Indemnitee can select
      a
      forum consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the approval
      of
      the Company;

     

    (c) legal
      counsel mutually agreed upon by the Indemnitee and the Board, which counsel
      shall make such determination in a written opinion;

     

    (d) a
      panel
      of three arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom
      is
      selected by the Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two
      arbitrators so selected; or

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (e) the
      Court
      of Chancery of Delaware or other court having jurisdiction of subject matter
      and
      the parties.

     

    8.4.
      As
      soon
      as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the forum
      has
      been selected pursuant to Section 8.3 above, the Company shall, at its own
      expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is not
      entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith
      to assure the Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such
      claim.

     

    8.5.
      If
      the
      forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof is not a court, then after
      the final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or the Indemnitee
      shall have the right to apply to the Court of Chancery of Delaware, the court
      in
      which the proceeding giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification
      is or was pending or any other court having jurisdiction of subject matter
      and
      the parties, for the purpose of appealing the decision of such forum, provided
      that such right is executed within sixty (60) days after the final decision
      of
      such forum is rendered. If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3
      hereof is a court, then the rights of the Company or the Indemnitee to appeal
      any decision of such court shall be governed by the applicable laws and rules
      governing appeals of the decision of such court.

     

    8.6.
      Notwithstanding
      any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall
      indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in
      connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving the
      Indemnitee and against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
      with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving
      the
      interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this
      Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the
      material claims and/or defenses of the Indemnitee in any such proceeding was
      frivolous or not made in good faith.

     

    9. Exceptions.
      Any
      other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not
      be
      obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

     

    9.1.
      Claims
      Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to the Indemnitee
      with
      respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the
      Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings
      specifically authorized by the Board or brought to establish or enforce a right
      to indemnification and/or advancement of Expenses arising under this Agreement,
      the charter documents of the Company or any Subsidiary or any statute or law
      or
      otherwise, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided
      by the Company in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate;
      or

     

    9.2.
      Unauthorized
      Settlements. To indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid in
      settlement of a proceeding unless the Company consents in advance in writing
      to
      such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
      or

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    9.3.
      Securities
      Law Actions. To indemnify the Indemnitee on account of any suit in which
      judgment is rendered against the Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made
      from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company
      pursuant to the provisions of Section l6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
      of
      1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or
      local
      statutory law; or

     

    9.4.
      Unlawful
      Indemnification. To indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court
      having jurisdiction in the matter, in a judgment not subject to appeal, shall
      determine that such indemnification is not lawful. In this respect, the Company
      and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission
      takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the
      federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore,
      unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to
      appropriate courts for adjudication.

     

    10. Non-Exclusivity.
      

     

    THE
      PROVISIONS FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES SET FORTH IN THIS
      AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER RIGHTS WHICH THE INDEMNITEE
      MAY HAVE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF LAW, THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
      OR BYLAWS, THE VOTE OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS OR DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS,
      OTHER AGREEMENTS OR OTHERWISE, BOTH AS TO ACTION IN THE INDEMNITEE’S OFFICIAL
      CAPACITY AND TO ACTION IN ANOTHER CAPACITY WHILE OCCUPYING HIS POSITION AS
      AN
      AGENT OF THE COMPANY, AND THE INDEMNITEE’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER SHALL CONTINUE AFTER
      THE INDEMNITEE HAS CEASED ACTING AS AN AGENT OF THE COMPANY AND SHALL INURE
      TO
      THE BENEFIT OF THE HEIRS, EXECUTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS OF THE
      INDEMNITEE.

     

    11. Burden
      of Proof.
      In
      making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder,
      the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
      Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, and the Company
      shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with
      the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to
      that presumption.

     

    12. Duration
      of Agreement.

     

    This
      Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) 10 years
      after the date that the Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director
      and/or officer of the Company or director, officer, employee or agent of any
      other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
      or
      other enterprise which the Indemnitee served at the request of the Company;

                event, and provided that Participant remains continuously employed

                in Control Event, and provided that Participant remains continuously
                in
                the service of the Company until the date of such involuntary termination,
                all unvested Shares granted under this Agreement shall become immediately
                vested as of the last date of Participant’s employment with or service for
                the Company.

              in
                the event that the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company
                terminates because of death or Disability or at the request of the
                Chief
                Executive Officer of the Company (other than for Cause) or of a U.S.
                government agency, all the Shares issuable under this award will
                vest on
                such termination. Except to the extent provided in the preceding

                be
                entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of any actual or
                threatened breach of such restrictions. In addition, Participant
                also
                agrees that in the event it is found by a court of law to have violated
                the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, that an adequate
                remedy
                will including, among other things, the immediate forfeit of all
                shares

                with
                this grant. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
                unenforceable by any court, then such provision will be modified
                or
                omitted only to the extent necessary to make the remaining provisions
                of
                this Agreement enforceable.

      and Warranties of the Subscriber

    

    Subscriber
      represents and warrants to the Company that:

    

    2.1. No
      Government Recommendation or Approval.
      Subscriber understands no United States federal or state agency has passed
      upon
      or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Offering of
      the

      collectively with the Warrants, the “Securities”).

    

    2.2. Regulation
      D Offering.
      Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
      Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)

      a
      private placement exemption to “Accredited Investors” within the meaning of

      under state law.

    

    2.3. Intent.

      addition to the restrictions contained in the Escrow Agreement (as defined
      below), Subscriber acknowledges and understands the Warrants are being offered
      in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within
      the
      meaning of the Securities Act. The Securities have not been registered under
      the
      Securities Act, and, if in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell,
      pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, such Securities may be offered,
      resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective
      registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an
      exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
      Act,
      if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the
      registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance
      with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction.
      Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Securities or any interest therein
      is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer,
      Subscriber may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel
      satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or another available exemption
      from registration, the Subscriber agrees it will not resell the Securities.
      Subscriber explicitly understands and acknowledges the Securities and Exchange
      Commission (the “SEC”) has taken the position the Subscriber would be considered
      a promoter under the Securities Act and that promoters or affiliates of a blank
      check company and their transferees, both before and after a business
      combination, would act as “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling
      the securities of that blank check company. Accordingly, Rule 144 promulgated
      under the Securities Act will not be available to the Subscriber for the resale
      of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule
      144, in which event the resale transactions would need to be made through a
      registered offering.

    2.5. Sophisticated
      Investor.

    

    (i)
         Subscriber is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to
      evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the
      Securities.

    

    (ii)
         Subscriber is aware an investment in the Warrants is highly
      speculative and subject to substantial risks because, among other things, none
      of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act and therefore
      cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
      exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is able to bear the
      economic risk of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period
      of
      time.

    

    2.6. Independent
      Investigation.
      Subscriber, in making the decision to purchase the Warrants, has relied upon
      an
      independent investigation of the Company and has not relied upon any information
      or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written
      representations or assurances from the Company, its officers, directors or
      employees or any other representatives or agents of the Company, other than
      as
      set forth in this Agreement. Subscriber is familiar with the business,
      operations and financial condition of the Company and has had an opportunity
      to
      ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers and directors
      concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering of the
      Warrants and has had full access to such other information concerning the
      Company as the Subscriber has requested. Subscriber confirms all documents
      it
      has requested have been made available and that the Subscriber has been supplied
      with all of the additional information concerning this investment which
      Subscriber has requested.

    

    2.7. Authority.
      This
      Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Subscriber
      and
      is a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms,
      subject to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws
      affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution,
      delivery and performance of this Agreement by Subscriber does not and will
      not
      conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or
      instrument to which Subscriber is a party.

    

    2.8. No
      Legal Advice from Company.
      Subscriber acknowledges it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement
      and
      the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements entered
      into between the parties hereto with the Subscriber’s own legal counsel and
      investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of
      the
      Company made in this Agreement and the other agreements entered into between
      the
      parties hereto, Subscriber is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and
      not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its
      representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect
      to
      this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
      securities laws of any jurisdiction.

     

    2.9. Reliance
      on Representations and Warranties.
      Subscriber understands the Warrants are being offered and sold to Subscriber
      in
      reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities
      Act, and analogous provisions in the laws and regulations of various states,
      and
      that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
      warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber
      set
      forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such
      provisions.  

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          4

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    2.10. No
      Advertisements.
      The
      undersigned is not subscribing for the Warrants as a result of or subsequent
      to
      any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
      newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio,
      or
      presented at any seminar or meeting.

    

    2.11. Legend.
      Subscriber acknowledges and agrees the certificates evidencing the Warrants
      and
      the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), in form and
      substance as set forth in Section 4 hereof, prohibiting the offer, sale, pledge
      or transfer of the securities, except (i) pursuant to an effective registration
      statement covering these securities under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant
      to
      any other exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities
      Act
      and such laws which, in the opinion of counsel for this Company, are
      available.

     

    3.   Representations
      and Warranties of the Company

    

    The
      Company represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

    

    3.1. Valid
      Issuance of Capital Stock.
      The
      total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Company will
      have authority to issue is 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000
      shares of Preferred Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has 3,593,750
      shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
      All of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly
      authorized, validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.

    

    3.2.
      Organization
      and Qualification.
      The
      Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing in good standing under
      the laws of the state of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to
      own
      its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being
      conducted.

    

    3.3. Authorization;
      Enforcement.
      (i) The
      Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
      perform its obligations under this Agreement and to issue the Warrants and
      the
      underlying securities in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the execution,
      delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation
      by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by
      all
      necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the
      Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required, and (iii) this
      Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable
      against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
      may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
      moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally
      the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by equitable principles of
      general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and
      contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws or principles
      of public policy.

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    3.4. No
      Conflicts.
      The
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation
      by
      the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not (i) result in a
      violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (ii)
      conflict with, or constitute a default under any agreement, indenture or
      instrument to which the Company is a party. Other than any SEC or state
      securities filings which may be required to be made by the Company subsequent
      to
      the Closing, and any registration statement which may be filed pursuant thereto,
      the Company is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or
      regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
      or registration with, any court or governmental agency or self-regulatory entity
      in order for it to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue
      the Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.

    

    4.  
      Legends

    

    4.1. Legend.
      The
      Company will issue the Warrants, and when issued, the Warrant Shares, purchased
      by the Subscriber in the name of the Subscriber. The Securities will bear the
      following Legend and appropriate “stop transfer” instructions:

    

    “THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
      ACT
      OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND
      NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD,
      TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
      REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION
      FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION
      OF COUNSEL FOR THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.”

    

    THE
      SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND
      CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN A SECURITIES ESCROW AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) AND MAY
      NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE
      TERM
      OF THE ESCROW PERIOD (AS DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT).”

    

    4.2. Subscriber’s
      Compliance.
      Nothing
      in this Section 4 shall affect in any way the Subscribers’ obligations and
      agreements to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the
      Securities.

    

    4.3. Company’s
      Refusal to Register Transfer of the Securities.
      The
      Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities, if in the
      sole
      judgment of the Company such purported transfer would not be made (i) pursuant
      to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (ii)
      pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
      Securities Act.

    

    5. 
      Escrow.
      Upon
      consummation of the IPO, the holders of the Warrants shall enter into a
      securities escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with American Stock
      Transfer & Trust Company, whereby the Warrants shall be held in escrow until
      the earlier of: (i) the 30th
      day
      following consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the
      Company. As used herein, “Business Combination” shall mean an acquisition by the
      Company by merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
      reorganization or similar business combination of one or more operating
      businesses. 

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    6.    
      Securities
      Laws Restrictions.

     

    In
      addition to the restrictions contained in the Escrow Agreement, subscriber
      agrees not to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all
      or
      any part of the Warrant Shares unless, prior thereto (a) a registration
      statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws with respect to the Securities proposed to be transferred shall
      then be effective or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion from counsel
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required
      because such transaction complies with the Securities Act and the rules
      promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all
      applicable state securities laws.

    

    7.   Waiver
      of Liquidation Distributions.

    

    In
      connection with the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement, and with
      respect to any Common Stock purchased by Subscriber prior to the private
      placement, Subscriber hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim
      of any kind in or to any liquidating distributions by the Company in the event
      of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company’s failure to timely complete a
      Business Combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event Subscriber purchases
      shares of Common Stock in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any additional shares
      so purchased shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions by
      the
      Company. In no event will a Subscriber have the right to exercise any Warrants
      prior to the consummation of a Business Combination.

    

    8.  
      Forfeiture
      of Warrants.

     

    8.1. Failure
      to Consummate Business Combination.
      The
      Warrants shall be forfeited to the Company in the event that the Company does
      not consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation
      of
      the IPO.

    

    8.2. Termination
      of Rights as holder; Escrow.
      If the
      Warrants are forfeited in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time
      the Subscriber (or successor in interest), shall no longer have any rights
      as a
      holder of such Warrants, and the Company shall take such action as is
      appropriate to cancel such Warrants. To effectuate the foregoing, all
      certificates representing the Warrants shall be held in escrow as provided
      in
      Section 5 hereof. In addition, Subscriber hereby irrevocably grants the Company
      a limited power of attorney for the purpose of effectuating the
      foregoing.

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

     

    9.  
      Rescission
      Right Waiver and Indemnification.
      

     

    9.1. Subscriber
      understands and acknowledges an exemption from the registration requirements
      of
      the Securities Act requires there be no general solicitation of purchasers
      of
      the Warrants. In this regard, if the IPO were deemed to be a general
      solicitation with respect to the Warrants, the offer and sale of such Warrants
      may not be exempt from registration and, if not, the Subscriber may have a
      right
      to rescind its purchase of the Warrants. In order to facilitate the completion
      of the Offering and in order to protect the Company, its stockholders and the
      trust account from claims that may adversely affect the Company or the interests
      of its stockholders, Subscriber hereby agrees to waive, to the maximum extent
      permitted by applicable law, any claims, right to sue or rights in law or
      arbitration, as the case may be, to seek rescission of its purchase of the
      Warrants. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees this waiver is being made in order
      to induce the Company to sell the Warrants to the Subscriber. Subscriber agrees
      the foregoing waiver of rescission rights shall apply to any and all known
      or
      unknown actions, causes of action, suits, claims or proceedings (collectively,
      “Claims”) and related losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages,
      whether compensatory, consequential or exemplary, and expenses in connection
      therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees and
      disbursements and all other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
      preparing or defending against any Claims, whether pending or threatened, in
      connection with any present or future actual or asserted right to rescind the
      purchase of the Warrants hereunder or relating to the purchase of the Warrants
      and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

     

    9.2. Subscriber
      agrees not to seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever
      in connection with its purchase of the Warrants or any Claim that may arise
      now
      or in the future. 

     

    9.3. Subscriber
      acknowledges and agrees the stockholders of the Company and the underwriters
      in
      the IPO are and shall be third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions
      of this Agreement.

    

    9.4.
      Subscriber
      agrees that to the extent any waiver of rights under this Section 9 is
      ineffective as a matter of law, Subscriber has offered such waiver for the
      benefit of the Company as an equitable right that shall survive any statutory
      disqualification or bar that applies to a legal right. Subscriber acknowledges
      the receipt and sufficiency of consideration received from the Company hereunder
      in this regard.

    

    10.  
      Terms
      of the Warrant

    

    The
      Warrants are substantially identical to the warrants included in the units
      offered in the IPO, except: (i) they
      will not have a claim to the funds held in the trust account, (ii) they
      will be placed in escrow and not released before, except in limited
      circumstances, until 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination,
      (iii) they are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the
      registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable
      only after they are registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement
      to be
      signed on or before the date of this prospectus, (iv) they will be
      non-redeemable so long as they are held by
      the
      initial holder thereof (or any of its permitted transferees),
      and
      (v) they are exercisable (a) on a “cashless” basis if
      held
      by the initial holder thereof or its permitted assigns
      and (b)
      in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the shares of
      common stock underlying the warrants. In
      no
      event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant
      exercise.

     

    
      For
        purposes of the transfer restrictions described herein, “permitted transferee”
means a transfer (i) to the members of Subscriber upon the dissolution and
        liquidation of Subscriber; (ii) by gift to an immediate family member of
        Subscribers’ members or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of
        Subscriber or a member of the immediate family of Subscribers’ members, (iii) by
        virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any member of
        Subscriber, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) in
        the
        event of the Company’s liquidation prior to its completion of a Business
        Combination or (vi) in the event of the Company’s consummation of a liquidation,
        merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all
        of its
        stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
        cash,
        securities or other property subsequent to the Company’s consummation of its
        initial Business Combination, provided, however, such permitted transferees
        must
        enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer
        restrictions.

    11. Voting

    Subscriber
      agrees to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by it immediately before this
      private placement in accordance with the majority of the shares of Common Stock
      voted by the public stockholders. Subscriber further agrees to vote the Common
      Stock acquired in the IPO or the aftermarket in favor of a Business Combination
      that the Company negotiates and presents for approval to the Company’s
      stockholders.

    

    12. Governing
      Law; Jurisdiction;
      Waiver
      of Jury Trial

    

    This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
      the
      State of Delaware for agreements made and to be wholly performed within such
      state. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection
      with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

    

    13.  
      Assignment;
      Entire Agreement; Amendment

    

    13.1. Assignment.
      Neither
      this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any party to any

      terms hereof.

    

    13.2. Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Subscription Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between
      the parties as to the subject matter thereof and merges and supersedes all
      prior
      discussions, agreements and understandings of any and every nature among

      and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted

      Indemnity

    

    14.1
      Notices.
      Unless
      otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication to a party
      hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered
      or
      sent by facsimile or other electronic transmission with copy sent in another
      manner herein provided or sent by courier (which for all purposes of this
      Agreement shall include Federal Express or other recognized overnight courier)
      or mailed to said party by certified mail, return receipt requested, at its
      address provided for herein or such other address as either may designate for
      itself in such notice to the other. Communications shall be deemed to have
      been
      received when delivered personally, on the scheduled arrival date when sent
      by
      next day or 2-day courier service, or if sent by facsimile upon receipt of
      confirmation of transmittal or, if sent by mail, then three days after deposit

      to
      be delivered (a) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail
      address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by
      a
      posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the
      stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and
      (2)
      the giving of such separate notice; and (c) if by any other form of electronic
      transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

    14.2 Indemnification.
      Each
      party shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including
      reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party’s
      breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this
      Agreement.

    

    15.
        Counterparts

    

    This
      Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken
      together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
      effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to
      the
      other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
      counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
      transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature
      shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
      behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
      facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

    

    16.
        Survival;
      Severability

    

    16.1. Survival.
      The
      representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereto
      shall survive the Closing.

    

    16.2. Severability.
      In the
      event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement
      shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that
      no
      such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic
      benefit of this Agreement to any party.
