         THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of August
31, 2006, but effective as of August 28, 2006, is between and among MID-POWER
RESOURCE CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Seller"); MARION ENERGY, INC., a
Texas corporation ("Buyer"); and MARION ENERGY LIMITED, an entity organized
under the laws of Australia ("Parent"). Hereinafter, Buyer and Parent are
sometimes collectively referred to as "Marion." Seller, Buyer and Parent are
each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties" as referred to herein.

         WHEREAS, Seller owns certain oil and gas properties and related assets
located in Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah, and known as the "Clear Creek
Project";

<PAGE>

The Cash Payment, Share Payment, Immediately Exercisable Options, and the
Reserve-Based Options together shall constitute the "Purchase Price." The
Immediately Exercisable Options and the Reserve-Based Options together are
sometimes referred to herein as the "Options." The Share Payment, the Options,
and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options are referred
to together as the "Securities."

         Section 2.2 Payment. At the Closing, Buyer shall wire transfer the Cash
Payment in immediately available funds to the account of Seller as it shall
separately direct or such other account specified by Seller to Buyer on or prior
to the second business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                              RESERVE-BASED OPTIONS

         Section 3.1 Definition of Reserves. For purposes of this Agreement, the
following definitions adopted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers will apply:

         Proved Reserves shall mean those quantities of oil, gas and associated
         hydrocarbons that, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can
         be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable,
         from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under economic
         conditions, operating methods, and government regulations as of the
         date of the evaluation, by deterministic methods intended to express a
         high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. Proved
         Reserves shall include both developed and undeveloped reserves.

         Probable Reserves shall mean those reserves that analysis of geological
         and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be
         recoverable and may include (a) reserves anticipated to be proved by
         normal step-out drilling where sub-surface control is inadequate to
         classify these reserves as proved, (b) reserves in formations that
         appear to be productive based on well log characteristics but lack core
         data or definitive tests and that are not analogous to producing or
         Proved Reserves in the area, (c) incremental reserves attributable to
         infill drilling that could have been classified as proved if closer
         statutory spacing had been approved at the time of estimate, (d)
         reserves attributable to improved recovery methods that have been
         established by repeated commercially successful applications when (i) a
         project or pilot is planned but not in operation and (ii) rock, fluid,
         and reservoir characteristics appear favorable for commercial
         application, (e) reserves in an area of the formation that appears to
         be separated from the proved area by faulting and the geologic
         interpretation indicates the subject area is structurally higher than
         the proved area, (f) reserves attributable to a future workover,
         treatment, re-treatment, change of equipment, or other mechanical
         procedures, when such procedure has not been proved successful in wells
         that exhibit similar behavior in analogous reservoirs, and (g)
         incremental reserves in proved reservoirs where an alternative
         interpretation of performance or volumetric data indicates more
         reserves than can be classified as proved.

         Section 3.2 250 Bcf Hurdle. Parent will, at Closing, grant Seller
options to purchase two million (2,000,000) of Parent's ordinary shares pursuant
to that certain option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C at an exercise
price of eighty cents Australian (AU$0.80) per share, which options shall become
exercisable in the event an Annual Reserve Report, as defined below, estimates
that the aggregate of all Proved and Probable Reserves of hydrocarbons in place,
in whatever form, attributable to Buyer's interests in any hydrocarbons below
the surface of the Lands, at any depth and whether acquired by Buyer pursuant to

                                       3
<PAGE>

this Agreement or otherwise, either before or after the date hereof, plus all
hydrocarbons produced and delivered for sale from the Hydrocarbon Interests
since the Effective Time, appropriately adjusted to avoid duplication, are equal
to or greater than two hundred fifty billion cubic feet (250 Bcf) (the "250 Bcf
Hurdle"). All such options granted when the 250 Bcf Hurdle is met shall expire
unless exercised within thirty-six (36) months from the date the 250 Bcf Hurdle
is met.

         Section 3.3 500 Bcf Hurdle. Parent will, at Closing, grant Seller
incremental options to purchase two million (2,000,000) of Parent's ordinary
shares pursuant to that certain option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C at
an exercise price of eighty cents Australian (AU$0.80) per share, which options
shall become exercisable in the event an Annual Reserve Report estimates that
the aggregate of all Proved and Probable Reserves of hydrocarbons in place, in
whatever form, attributable to Buyer's interests in any hydrocarbons below the
surface of the Lands, at any depth and whether acquired by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, either before or after the date hereof, plus all
hydrocarbons produced and delivered for sale from the Hydrocarbon Interests
since the Effective Time, appropriately adjusted to avoid duplication, are equal
to or greater than five hundred billion cubic feet (500 Bcf) (the "500 Bcf
Hurdle"). All such options granted when the 500 Bcf Hurdle is met shall expire
unless exercised within thirty-six (36) months from the date the 500 Bcf Hurdle
is met.

         Section 3.4 750 Bcf Hurdle. Parent will, at Closing, grant Seller
incremental options to purchase four million (4,000,000) of Parent's ordinary
shares pursuant to that certain option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C at
an exercise price of eighty cents Australian (AU$0.80) per share, which options
shall become exercisable in the event an Annual Reserve Report, estimates that
the aggregate of all Proved and Probable Reserves of hydrocarbons in place, in
whatever form, attributable to Buyer's interests in any hydrocarbons below the
surface of the Lands, at any depth and whether acquired by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise, either before or after the date hereof, plus all
hydrocarbons produced and delivered for sale from the Hydrocarbon Interests
since the Effective Time, appropriately adjusted to avoid duplication, are equal
to or greater than seven hundred fifty billion cubic feet (750 Bcf) (the "750
Bcf Hurdle"). All such options granted when the 750 Bcf Hurdle is met shall
expire unless exercised within thirty-six (36) months from the date the 750 Bcf
Hurdle is met.

         Section 3.5 Change of Control. Following the Closing, upon a Change of
Control of Parent (as defined below) that occurs prior to any of the reserve
hurdles set forth above (the 250 Bcf Hurdle, the 500 Bcf Hurdle, or the 750 Bcf
Hurdle) being met, all of said reserve hurdles shall be deemed to have been met
and all of the options described above (an aggregate of 8,000,000 options) shall
be immediately vested and be immediately exercisable for a period of thirty-six
(36) months from the date of the event constituting a Change of Control. For
purposes of this Agreement, Change in Control shall mean (a) an acquisition of
any voting securities of the Buyer or Parent by any person, entity or group
acting in concert immediately after which such person, entity or group acting in
concert has beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the combined voting power of
the Buyer or Parent then outstanding voting securities without the approval of
the board; (b) a merger or consolidation that results in more than 50% of the
combined voting power of the Buyer's or Parent's then outstanding voting
securities of the Buyer or its successor or Parent or its successor changing
ownership (whether or not approved by the board); (c) the sale of all or
substantially all of the Buyer's or Parent's assets in a single transaction or
series of related transactions; (d) approval by the shareholders of the Buyer or
the Parent of a plan of complete liquidation of the Buyer or Parent; or (e) the
individuals constituting the board of Buyer or Parent as of the date of this
Agreement (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least
1/2 of the members of the board of Buyer or Parent; provided, however, that if
the election, or nomination for election by the Buyer's or Parent's
shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of the Incumbent Board,
such new director shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board.

         Section 3.6 Annual Engineering Study. At Marion's expense, Marion shall
cause Ryder Scott Company or any other independent, qualified petroleum
engineering firm of national standing reasonably acceptable to Seller (the
"Engineering Firm") to prepare a written engineering report evaluating the
Proved Reserve and Probable Reserve quantities attributable to the Hydrocarbon
Interests on an annual basis until the 750 Bcf Hurdle is met or until December
31, 2016 (the "Annual Reserve Report") in accordance with the following:

                  (a) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year
(the "Reserve Study Date"), but in any event by July 31 of the following year,
Marion shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Engineering Firm and upon
request to the Seller all (i) geological, geophysical and engineering data,
including drilling logs, drillstem tests, pressure tests, delivery and
deliverability records, geological and engineering studies or other data
gathered prior to and as of the Reserve Study Date respecting the Clear Creek
Natural Gas Unit; (ii) records of all hydrocarbons delivered for sale from the
Hydrocarbon Interests for the fiscal year ending on the Reserve Study Date;
(iii) a copy of each report, study, evaluation, estimate or other writing
respecting the Hydrocarbon Interests prepared by or on behalf of Marion for
internal uses or for delivery to any governmental authority, potential funding
source, owner, investor or other third party; and (iv) such other information
under the care, custody, or control of Marion that the Engineering Firm or
Seller may reasonably request, to the extent that such other information can be
obtained by or on behalf of Marion without unreasonable effort or expense.

                  (b) As soon as practicable after the receipt of the
information required to be delivered by Marion pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
section, but in any event by September 30 of the year following the Reserve
Study Date, the Engineering Firm shall prepare and transmit to Marion and Seller
the Engineering Firm's estimate of the Proved and Probable Reserves attributable
to the Hydrocarbon Interests together with a calculation of the sum of such
Proved and Probable Reserves and all hydrocarbons produced and delivered for
sale from the Hydrocarbon Interests since the Effective Time, appropriately
adjusted to avoid duplication, all in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement and, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, the standards of
the American Society of Petroleum Engineers. In the event that hydrocarbons
other than gas are present, such other hydrocarbons shall be converted at their
British Thermal Unit equivalent in accordance with standard engineering
practice, as shall be described in such report. The Engineering Firm's study and
estimate prepared in accordance with this paragraph is hereinafter referred to
as the "Preliminary Hurdle Calculation."

                  (c) Marion and Seller shall promptly review the Preliminary
Hurdle Calculation, and each shall advise the other of the respects, if any, in
which it disputes such calculation, setting forth with reasonable specificity
the particulars of such disagreement (the "Disagreement Notice"). If one such
Party does not provide the other Party with a Disagreement Notice within 20 days
after delivery of the Preliminary Reserve Calculation, the amount set forth
therein shall be deemed conclusively acceptable to such Party. If neither such
party delivers a Disagreement Notice, such Preliminary Hurdle Calculation shall
be deemed conclusive and determinative as to whether a specific hurdle has been
met. If either or both such Parties provide the other with a Disagreement Notice
within 20 days after delivery of the Preliminary Hurdle Calculation, the Parties
shall proceed with diligence and dispatch in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the alternative dispute resolution procedures set forth in
Schedule 12.2 attached hereto and fully incorporated herein.

                  (d) In the event Marion refuses to timely deliver to the
Engineering Firm the information required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph
(a) above and such failure continues for greater than 90 days after written
notice and demand for cure from Seller to Marion, then the next succeeding
hurdle shall be deemed to have been met and the Options to become exercisable on
meeting such hurdle shall automatically be immediately vested and become
exercisable.

         Upon assignment of the Assets by Seller to Buyer, Seller shall reserve
and retain as an interest in lands a Net Profits Interest equal to 12.5% of the
net revenue attributable to 100% of the working interest based on an approximate
80% net revenue interest in the rights of Buyer in the Clear Creek Unit, payable
pursuant to Exhibit D and Exhibit E attached hereto.

                                   ARTICLE V.

         (b) Authority. Buyer has all requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all

<PAGE>

         (a) Subsidiaries. Parent owns, directly or indirectly, all of the
capital stock or other equity interests of Buyer free and clear of any liens,
and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Buyer are validly
issued and are fully paid, non-assessable, and free of preemptive and similar
rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Parent has no other
subsidiaries.

         (b) Organization and Qualification. Parent and Buyer are each an entity
duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as
applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.
Neither the Parent nor Buyer is in violation or default of any of the provisions
of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. Each of the Parent and the Buyer is duly
qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be,
could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse
effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the
agreements for the Immediately Exercisable Options and the Reserve-Based Options
(together, the "Transaction Documents"), (ii) a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Parent and the Buyer, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material
adverse effect on the Parent's ability to perform in any material respect on a
timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or
(iii), a "Material Adverse Effect") and no proceeding has been instituted in any
such jurisdiction revoking, limiting, curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or
curtail such power and authority or qualification.

         (c) Authority. Parent has the requisite corporate power and authority
to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by
Parent and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the
Parent and no further action is required by the Parent, its board of directors
or its stockholders in connection therewith. Each Transaction Document has been
(or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Parent and, when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Parent enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as
indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

         (d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by Parent, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the
consummation by Parent of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Parent's
or Buyer's certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Parent or Buyer, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time
or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing a Parent or Buyer debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which
Parent or Buyer is a party or by which any property or asset of the Parent or
Buyer is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Parent or Buyer

                                       9
<PAGE>

is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by
which any property or asset of Parent or Buyer is bound or affected; except in
the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (e) Actions. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or
investigation before or by any court, public board, governmental agency or
authority, or self-regulatory organization or body pending or threatened against
or affecting Parent, Buyer, or any of their respective directors or officers in
their capacities as such, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding
would have a Material Adverse Effect or would adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or that would adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of, or the authority or ability of Parent to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and Buyer are unaware of any
facts that could give rise to a claim or proceeding that, if asserted or
conducted with results unfavorable to Parent or Buyer, could have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (f) Brokerage Fees and Commissions. Neither Parent nor Buyer has
incurred any obligation or entered into any agreement for any investment
banking, brokerage or finder's fee or commission in respect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement for which Seller shall incur any liability.

exercise of the Options, when issued in accordance with the terms of the

authorized capital stock the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant
to this Agreement and the Options.

         (h) Capitalization.

                  (i) The authorized capital stock of Parent consists of
         192,414,201 fully paid issued ordinary shares. In addition, a total of
         88,141,201 listed and unlisted options to purchase ordinary shares were
         issued. Each of the outstanding shares of Parent is duly authorized,
         validly issued, and fully paid and nonassessable, and has not been
         issued in violation of (nor are any of the authorized shares of
         Parent's capital stock subject to) any preemptive or similar rights
         created by statute, Parent's charter documents, or any agreement to
         which Parent is a party or bound, and such outstanding shares owned by
         Parent are owned free and clear of all security interests, liens,
         claims, pledges, agreements, limitations on Parent's voting rights,
         charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.

                  (ii) Except as identified in section 5.3(h)(i) or as set forth
         in Schedule 5.3(h), there are no options, warrants, or other rights
         (including registration rights), agreements, arrangements, or
         commitments of any character to which Parent is a party relating to the
         issued or unissued capital stock of Parent or obligating Parent to
         grant, issue, or sell any shares of its capital stock. Except as set
         forth in Schedule 5.3(h), Parent has no obligations, contingent or
         otherwise, to (1) repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any ordinary
         shares or other capital stock of Parent; or (2) provide material funds
         to, or make any material investment in (in the form of a loan, capital
         contribution, or otherwise), or provide any guarantee with respect to
         the obligations of any other person. Except as described in Schedule
         5.3(h), Parent does not directly or indirectly own, has not agreed to
         purchase or otherwise acquire, or does not hold any interest
         convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, 5% or more of the
         capital stock of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other
         business association or entity. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.3(h),
         there are no agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character
         (contingent or otherwise) pursuant to which any person is or may be
         entitled to receive any payment based on Parent's revenues or earnings
         or calculated in accordance therewith. Except as set forth in Schedule

                                       10
<PAGE>

         5.3(h), there are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or
         understanding to which Parent is a party or by which Parent is bound
         with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock of Parent.

         (i) Required Filings and Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule
5.3(i), the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent does not, and
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, require Parent to
obtain any consent, license, permit, approval, waiver, authorization or order
of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any governmental or
regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except when the failure to obtain
such consents, licenses, permits, approvals, waivers, authorizations or orders,
or to make such filings or notifications, would not, either individually or in
the aggregate, materially interfere with Parent's performance of its obligations
under this Agreement and would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (j) Reports and Financial Statements.

                  (i) Parent has furnished to Seller complete and accurate
         copies, as amended or supplemented, of (1) its annual report for the
         fiscal year ended June 30, 2005; (2) its interim financial report for
         the half-year ended December 31, 2005; and (3) its quarterly report for
         the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as filed with the Australian Stock
         Exchange ("ASX"), and all other reports filed by Parent with the ASX
         since June 30, 2005.

                  (ii) The audited consolidated financial statements of Parent
         included in Parent's annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30,

         accounting requirements, including the Accounting Standards, Urgent
         Issues Consensus Views, the Authoritative Pronouncements of the
         Australian Accounting Standard Board, and the Corporations Act 2001;

         operations, and cash flows of Parent as of the respective date thereof
         and for the period referred to therein, and (3) are consistent with
         Parent's books and records.

         (k) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in
Schedule 5.3(k), since the date of Parent's most recent balance sheet provided
in accordance with the description in section 5.3(j), there has not been any
material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, level of
inventory, assets, or condition of the business or any damage, destruction, or
loss (whether or not covered by insurance) or Parent or Buyer, including:

                  (i) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial
         condition, or operating results of Parent or Buyer, except changes in
         the ordinary course of business;

                  (ii) any damage, destruction, or loss, whether or not covered
         by insurance;

                  (iii) any waiver by Parent or Buyer of a valuable right or of
         a material debt owed to it;

                  (iv) any change or amendment to Parent's charter documents or
         any agreement by which Parent or any of its assets or properties is
         bound or subject;

                  (v) any loans made by Parent or Buyer to or for the benefit of
         their employees, officers, or directors, or any members of their
         immediate families, other than travel advances and other advances made
         in the ordinary course of their business;

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (vi) any resignation or termination of any executive officer
         or key employee of Parent or Buyer, and Parent is not aware of any
         impending resignation or termination of employment of any such officer
         or key employee;

                  (vii) any material change in any compensation arrangement or
         agreement with any employee, director, or equity owner;

                  (viii) any adoption, creation, or material change in any
         profit sharing, bonus, deferred compensation, insurance, pension,
         retirement, or other employee benefit plan, payment, or arrangement
         made to, for, or with the officers, directors, or employees of Parent
         or Buyer;

                  (ix) any sale, assignment, or transfer of any patents,
         trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, or other intangible assets;

                  (x) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien or payment of
         any obligation by Parent or Buyer, except in the ordinary course of
         business and that is not material to the business, properties,
         prospects, or financial condition of Parent or Buyer;

                  (xi) any declaration, setting aside, or payment or other
         distribution in respect of any of Parent's equity ownership, or any
         direct or indirect redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of any of
         such equity ownership by Parent;

                  (xii) any lien created by Parent or Buyer respecting any of
         their material properties or assets, except liens for taxes not yet due
         or payable;

                  (xiii) any other event or condition of any character that has
         had a material adverse effect; or

                  (xiv) any agreement or commitment by Parent or Buyer to do any
         of the things described or in accordance with this section 5.3.

         (l) Compliance. Neither Parent nor Buyer (i) is in default under or in
violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by Parent or Buyer
under), nor has Parent or Buyer received notice of a claim that it is in default
under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or
any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been
waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or
governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or
regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all
foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business and all such
laws that affect the environment, except in each case as could not have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (m) No Vote Required. No vote of the holders of any class or series of
Parent's equity security is necessary to approve the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.

         (n) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or is imminent
with respect to any of the employees of Parent that could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of Parent's or Buyer's employees is
a member of a union that relates to such employee's relationship with Parent,
and neither Parent nor Buyer is a party to a collective bargaining agreement,
and Parent and Buyer believe that their relationships with their employees are
good. No executive officer is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or

                                       12
<PAGE>

proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject Parent or Buyer to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. Parent and Buyer are in compliance
with all U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating
to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (o) Information Supplied. Without limiting any of the representations
and warranties contained herein, no representation or warranty of Parent and no
statement by Parent or other information contained in or documents referred to
in Parent's disclosure schedules, as of the date of such representation,
warranty, statement, or document, contains or contained any untrue statement of
material fact, or, at the date thereof, omits or omitted to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of
the circumstances under which such statements are or were made, not misleading.

         (p) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither Parent nor Buyer has, nor any
director, officer, agent, employee, or other person acting on behalf of Parent
or Buyer has in the course of his or her actions for or on behalf of Parent,
used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment, or
other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or made any bribe,
rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback, or other unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Parent and Buyer have not directly or indirectly
made or agreed to make (whether or not said payment is lawful) any payment to
obtain, or with respect to, sales other than usual and regular compensation to
its or their employees and sales representatives with respect to such sales.

         (q) Title to Assets. Parent and Buyer have good and marketable title in
fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business
of Parent and Buyer and good and marketable title in all personal property owned
by them that is material to the business of Parent and Buyer, in each case free
and clear of all liens, except for liens as do not materially affect the value
of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed
to be made of such property by Parent and Buyer and liens for the payment of
federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor
subject to penalties. All oil and gas royalty, working or operating interests or
other rights held under lease on an oil and gas drilling location are held by
Parent or Buyer under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases, farmout or
participation agreements or other agreements with which Parent and Buyer are in
compliance. Any other real property and facilities held under lease by Parent
and Buyer are held by them under valid, subsisting, and enforceable leases with
which Parent and Buyer are in compliance.

         (r) Insurance. Parent and Buyer are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
are prudent and customary in the businesses in which Parent and Buyer are
engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance
coverage. Neither Parent nor Buyer has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

         (s) Governmental Permits, etc. Each of Parent and Buyer has all
necessary franchises, licenses, certificates, and other authorizations from any
foreign, federal, state, or local government or governmental agency, department,

                                       13
<PAGE>

or body that are currently necessary for the operation of its business as
currently conducted, except when the failure to currently possess could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         (t) Proprietary Rights. Parent does not own any material inventions,
patent applications, patents, trademarks (both registered and unregistered),
trade names, copyrights, or trade secrets necessary for the conduct of the
business of Parent or Buyer as currently conducted.

         (u) Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.3(u), none of the officers or directors of Parent and none of the
employees of Parent is presently a party to any transaction with Parent or Buyer
(other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any
contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of
services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from,
or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such
employee or any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has
a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each
case in excess of $60,000 other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting
fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf
of Parent and (iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option
agreements under any stock option plan of Parent.

         (v) Key Employees; Parent's Knowledge. Each Key Employee (as defined
below) is currently serving Parent in the capacity disclosed in its most recent
annual report. No Key Employee is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, noncompetition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each Key Employee does not subject Parent or Buyer to any liability with
respect to any of the foregoing matters. No Key Employee has any intention to
terminate or limit his employment with, or services to, the Parent or Buyer, nor
is any such Key Employee subject to any constraints (e.g., litigation) that
would cause such employee to be unable to devote his full time and attention to
such employment or services. "Key Employee" means each officer of Buyer.

         (w) Drilling Practices. The real property on which the Parent and Buyer
have the right to explore, develop, or recover oil and gas substances (the
"Current Properties"); all right, title, and interest of Parent and Buyer in and
to the Current Properties; and all machinery, equipment, jigs, drills, dies,
tools, handling equipment, furniture, furnishings and accessories and supplies
of all kinds used on the Current Properties (collectively the "Oilfield Assets")
have been operated in accordance with good oilfield practice, in compliance with
the applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree of
any governmental entity, court, or arbitration tribunal, except for possible
violations, the sanctions for which, either singly or in the aggregate would not
have a Material Adverse Effect, and materially in accordance with the terms and
conditions of all agreements applicable thereto.

         (x) Oil or Gas Balancing Agreements. Neither Parent nor Buyer, nor any
other person on their behalf, have entered into any agreement or arrangements,
commonly known as an oil or gas balancing, swaps, overproduction, or
underlift-overlift agreements, that are among two or more persons owning
interests in a portion of the Current Properties or pooled or unitized
therewith; nor has there been any circumstance or case whereby one of such
persons has taken, or may hereafter take, a share of the production of oil or
gas substances from such Current Properties greater than it would otherwise be
entitled to by virtue of its interest in such Current Properties, and which
excess taking entitled the other persons to a credit in respect of subsequent
production of Parent's oil and gas substances produced from such Current
Properties.

                                       14

         (y) Assets Subject to Obligations. The Oilfield Assets are not affected
by any "take or pay" obligations.

         (z) Allowables. None of the oil and gas wells operated by Parent or
Buyer on the Current Properties has been produced in excess of applicable
production allowables imposed by applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, or decree of any governmental entity, court, or arbitration
tribunal, since Parent or Buyer acquired its interest therein. Such oil and gas
wells are not subject to any production penalty and Parent is not aware of any
impending change in statutorily imposed or sanctioned production allowables
imposed by applicable governmental entities currently applicable to any of the
oil and gas wells other than changes that are in the public domain.

         (aa) Environmental Matters. The terms "hazardous waste," "hazardous
substance," "disposal," "release," and "threatened release," as used in this
Agreement, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42
U.S.C. ss. 9601, et seq., the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986, Pub. L. no. 99 499, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C.
ss. 1801, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 49 U.S.C. ss.
6901, et seq., or other applicable state or federal laws adopted pursuant to any
of the foregoing. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.3(aa), during the period of
ownership, use, or other occupancy of the properties of Parent and Buyer,
neither Parent nor Buyer have used, generated, manufactured, stored, treated,
disposed of, or released any hazardous waste or substance on, under, or about
any of the properties, except in compliance with environmental laws.

         (bb) Internal Accounting Controls. Parent and Buyer maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.

                             INVESTIGATION OF ASSETS

entry into the Farmout Agreement, and since that time has had full access to all
Records, and its personnel have had full access to the Clear Creek Natural Gas
Unit, both before and after the Operator Change Date. Buyer hereby acknowledges
it has had the opportunity to inspect the Assets to its full satisfaction and
specifically disclaims reliance on any representations, statements, or
warranties of Seller except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original

                    Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures

         In the event of any dispute, the Parties shall promptly negotiate in
good faith in attempt to resolve such dispute. Any dispute that is not resolved
by the Parties shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration in
accordance with the following procedures:

                  (a) Such arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the
         Federal Arbitration Act, except as expressly provided otherwise in this
         Agreement. The validity, construction, and interpretation of these
         procedures, and all procedural aspects of the arbitration conducted
         pursuant hereto, including the determination of the issues that are
         subject to arbitration (i.e., arbitrability), the scope of the
         arbitrable issues, allegations of "fraud in the inducement" to enter
         into the Agreement or these arbitration procedures, allegations of
         waiver, laches, delay or other defenses to arbitrability, and the rules
         governing the conduct of the arbitration (including the time for filing
         an answer, the time for the filing of counterclaims, the times for
         amending the pleadings, the specificity of the pleadings, the extent
         and scope of discovery, the issuance of subpoenas, the times for the
         designation of experts, whether the arbitration is to be stayed pending
         resolution of related litigation involving third parties not bound by
         the Agreement, the receipt of evidence, and the like), shall be decided
         by an independent expert, who shall serve as sole arbitrator (the
         "Independent Expert"). The Independent Expert shall be appointed by
         mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer from among candidates with
         experience and expertise in the area that is the subject of such
         Dispute, and failing such agreement, such Independent Expert for such
         Dispute shall be selected in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
         Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules"). The
         arbitration administered by the Independent Expert and shall be
         conducted pursuant to the Rules, except as expressly provided otherwise
         in this Agreement. The arbitration proceedings shall be subject to any
         optional rules contained in the Rules for emergency measures and, in
         the case of disputes with respect to amounts in excess of $1,000,000,
         optional rules for large and complex cases.

                  (b) The Independent Expert shall permit and facilitate such
         discovery as he/she determines is appropriate in the circumstances,
         taking into account the needs of the Parties and the desirability of
         making discovery expeditious and cost-effective. Such discovery may
         include pre-hearing depositions, particularly depositions of witnesses
         who will not appear personally to testify, if there is a demonstrated
         need therefor. The Independent Expert may issue orders to protect the
         confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets and other
         sensitive information disclosed in discovery.

                  (c) All arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted
         in Dallas, Texas, or such other mutually agreeable location.

                  (d) In deciding the substance of the dispute, the Independent
         Expert shall refer to the substantive laws of the State of Utah for
         guidance (excluding choice-of-law principles that might call for the
         application of the laws of another jurisdiction). Matters relating to
         arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

                  (e) The Parties shall request the Independent Expert to
         conduct a hearing as soon as reasonably practicable after appointment
         and to render a final decision completely disposing of the dispute that
         is the subject of such proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable
         after the final hearing. The Parties shall instruct the Independent
         Expert to impose time limitations he/she considers reasonable for each
         phase of such proceeding, including, without limitation, limits on the

<PAGE>

         time allotted to each Party for the presentation of its case and
         rebuttal. The Independent Expert shall actively manage the proceedings
         as he/she deems best so as to make the proceedings fair, expeditious,
         economical, and less burdensome than litigation. To provide for speed
         and efficiency, the Independent Expert may: (i) limit the time allotted
         to each Party for presentation of its case; and (ii) exclude testimony
         and other evidence they deem irrelevant or cumulative.

                  (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to
         the contrary, the Parties expressly agree that the Independent Expert
         shall have absolutely no authority to award consequential, incidental,
         special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages of any type under any
         circumstances regardless of whether such damages may be available under
         Utah law, or any other laws, or under the Federal Arbitration Act or
         the Rules.

                  (g) The Parties shall request that final decision of the
         Independent Expert be in writing, be as brief as possible, set forth
         the reasons for such final decision, and if the Independent Expert
         awards monetary damages to either Party, contain a certification by the
         Independent Expert that they have not included any consequential,
         incidental, special, treble, exemplary or punitive damages. To the
         fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitration proceeding and the
         Independent Expert's decision and award shall be maintained in
         confidence by the Parties and the Parties shall instruct the
         Independent Expert to likewise maintain such matters in confidence.

         immediately vested and exercisable for a period of 36 months from the

         voting securities of the MEI or MAE by any person, entity, or group

         combined voting power of the MEI or MAE then outstanding voting
         securities without the approval of the board; (b) a merger or
         consolidation that results in more than 50% of the combined voting
         power of the MEI's or MAE's then outstanding voting securities of the
         MEI or its successor or MAE or its successor changing ownership
         (whether or not approved by the board); (c) the sale of all or

         constitute at least one-half of the members of the board of MEI or MAE;
         provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by

         equivalents entitling any person to acquire ordinary shares at an

                                  EXISTING WELL
                         NET PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT

         THIS EXISTING WELL NET PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT (this "NPI
Agreement"), dated effective as of August 28, 2006, is entered into by and
between MID-POWER RESOURCE CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Owner"), and
MARION ENERGY, INC., a Texas corporation ("Buyer").

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer have previously entered into that certain
Farmout and Exploration Agreement for the Clear Creek Natural Gas Unit, Carbon
and Emery Counties, Utah, dated effective February 22, 2005 (the "Farmout
Agreement"), wherein Owner granted Buyer the right to earn a seventy-five
percent working interest (75% WI) in leases within the Clear Creek Natural Gas
Unit upon completion of certain earning conditions, including: (i) drilling
obligations; (ii) a Capital Expenditure Program described therein; and (iii) the
issuance of options to purchase five million (5,000,000) ordinary shares of the
corporate parent of Buyer, at an exercise price of forty cents Australian
(AU$0.40).

         WHEREAS, Buyer has initiated, but not yet completed, the performance of
its earning requirements under the Farmout Agreement as summarized above, and
Owner has not assigned, and has not become obligated to assign, to Buyer a 75%
WI in Owner's leasehold interests in the Clear Creek Natural Gas Unit.

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer have entered into a new agreement under which
Buyer has agreed to purchase certain assets of Owner being the Clear Creek
Natural Gas Unit in Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah, subject to the reservation
set forth herein, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated of
even date to which Owner and Buyer are parties (the "Purchase Agreement") and to
which this NPI Agreement is an exhibit.

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Farmout Agreement will
be terminated as between Owner and Buyer, but kept in place as to third parties
that were signatory to the Farmout Agreement, so that upon consummation of the
asset transfers contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will assume
Owner's position under the Farmout Agreement with respect to said third parties.

         WHEREAS, the above-referenced termination of the Farmout Agreement as
between Owner and Buyer has become effective in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, and under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Owner is now
obligated to convey its working interest in and to the leases in the Clear Creek
Natural Gas Unit, subject to a reserved interest equal to 12.5% of the net
profits from gross proceeds attributable to 100% of the working interest based
on an approximate 80% net revenue interest in such leasehold interests and
related assigned assets.

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer desire to enter into this NPI Agreement to
effect the foregoing reservation of such net profits interest from the transfer
of the leasehold interests and related assigned assets pursuant to the Agreement
and on the terms and conditions as provided herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Owner and Buyer do hereby agree as follows:

I. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND REFERENCES

II. RESERVATION OF NET PROFITS INTEREST

         2.1 Reservation. Owner hereby reserves from the Assignment a Net
Profits Interest in and to the portion of Assets, Leases, and Subject
Hydrocarbons, defined herein in this Section 2.1, equal to 12.5% of the Net
Profits from Gross Proceeds attributable to 100% of the working interest based
on an approximate 80% net revenue interest in the Assets and the Leases
(proportionately reduced for any well and related drilling spacing unit for
which the interest assigned constitutes less than 100% of the working interest)
(the "Net Profits Interest"); such payment not to exceed the Gross Proceeds
attributable to the Assets, and subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein. This NPI Agreement is made by Owner to Buyer without any warranty of
title whatsoever, whether express, implied, or statutory, except as against
Persons claiming by, through, or under Owner. This Net Profits Interest is
subject only to the existing wells and drilling site locations and spacing unit
on which they are situated as more particularly described on Appendix A attached
hereto.

         2.2 Interest in Real Property; Servitude upon Estate. The Net Profits
Interest hereby reserved by Owner (a) is excepted, retained, and reserved by
Owner and excluded from and carved out of the working interest conveyed, (b) is
and shall continue to be a perpetual charge, burden, and servitude of Owner on
the working interest conveyed, and (c) constitutes Owner's estate in land and
not personal property.

         2.3 Acknowledgment. Owner and Buyer acknowledge that the Net Profits
Interest reserved hereby creates a Net Profits Interest under the Code, and each
agrees to report consistently therewith on its tax returns and other filings
with the Internal Revenue Service.

III. ACCOUNTING AND PAYMENT

         3.1 Establishment of Net Profits Account. Buyer shall establish and
maintain a Net Profits Account (the "Net Profits Account") in accordance with
the various provisions of this NPI Agreement and at all times shall keep true
and correct books and records with respect thereto. Such books and records shall
be open for inspection, copying, and audit by Owner and its accountants and
representatives.

         3.2 Credits to Net Profits Account. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Net Profits Account shall be credited with an amount equal to the
sum of Gross Proceeds, Other Income, and Allowable Carry-forwards from the
immediately preceding Payment Period.

                  (a) "Gross Proceeds" shall mean, on a cash accounting basis,
all consideration directly or indirectly attributable to sales of Subject
Hydrocarbons, subject to the following:

                           (i) If a controversy exists (whether by reason of any
statute, order, decree, rule, regulation, contract, or otherwise) as to the
correct or lawful sales price of Subject Hydrocarbons, then, at Buyer's sole
election, Buyer may choose to treat amounts attributable to the Assets and
affected by such controversy (1) as Gross Proceeds attributable to the interest

                                       3
<PAGE>

of Owner, or (2) not as Gross Proceeds attributable to the interest of Owner and
in such case Buyer shall promptly deposit such amounts with an escrow agent
pending settlement of such controversy, provided that all amounts, including any
interest or Other Income, thereafter paid to Owner by such escrow agent out of
or on account of such escrow shall be considered to be amounts received from the
sale of Subject Hydrocarbons;

                           (ii) Cash settlements and cash make-ups attributable
to the interest of Buyer with respect to Subject Hydrocarbons under gas
balancing or similar agreements shall be considered derived from the sale of
Subject Hydrocarbons; and

                           (iii) Gross Proceeds shall not include Other Income.

                  (b) "Other Income" shall mean, on a cash accounting basis, the
following:

                           (i) The proceeds attributable to the interest of
Buyer after the Effective Time from (1) the sale of any materials, supplies,
equipment, and other personal property or fixtures, or any part thereof or
interest therein, located on or used in connection with the Assets, (2)
settlements and judgments from legal or other claims, (3) delay rentals, (4)
lease bonuses, and (5) rentals from reservoir use or storage; including, without
limitation, all amounts attributable thereto that are received by Buyer by way
of conformance of investment in personal property and equipment if the Assets or
any part or parts thereof are hereafter from time to time unitized or are
affected by the revision of a participating area in a unit;

                           (ii) The proceeds of all insurance attributable to
the interest of Owner (1) the cost of which is or was previously charged to the
Net Profits Account, directly or indirectly, and/or (2) that accrue to Buyer as
a consequence of the loss or damage to any one or more of the following that
occur after the Effective Time: the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons, or any part
thereof or interest therein, the interest of Buyer in any materials, supplies,
equipment or other personal property or fixtures located on or used in
connection with any or all of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons; except to the
extent such amounts are used to repair or replace the items damaged or lost
giving rise to the receipt of such amounts;

                           (iii) Amounts attributable to the interest of Buyer
received from a purchaser of Subject Hydrocarbons (1) as a prepayment of any
portion of the sales price for such Subject Hydrocarbons, (2) as advance gas
payments or (3) as payments pursuant to contractual provisions providing for
"take-or-pay" payments (including amounts awarded by a court or agreed to by the
parties in any settlement of a claim (net of costs and attorneys' fees incurred
in connection therewith) as damages for the failure or refusal of the purchaser
to take Subject Hydrocarbons pursuant to the contract that contains such
provisions) shall be considered to be attributable to the sale of Subject
Hydrocarbons; provided that such amounts shall not be considered attributable to
the sale of Subject Hydrocarbons at a later date when Subject Hydrocarbons are
delivered in respect of any such payments under "make-up" or similar provisions.

                           (iv) The proceeds of all judgments and claims
attributable to the interest of Buyer for damages to one
or more of the following that occur after the Effective Time: the Assets or
Subject Hydrocarbons, or any part thereof or interest therein, any materials,
supplies, equipment or other personal property or fixtures, or any part thereof
or interest therein, located on or used in connection with any of the Assets or
Subject Hydrocarbons; except to the extent such amounts are used to repair or
replace the items damaged or lost giving rise to the receipt of such amounts;

                           (v) Any interest, penalty or other amounts
attributable to the interest of Buyer which are attributable to Subject
Hydrocarbons and are not derived from the sale of Subject Hydrocarbons; and

                                       4
<PAGE>

                           (vi) All other monies and things of value (but not
including any tax credits or other tax benefits) which are attributable to the
interest of Buyer by virtue of the ownership after the Effective Time of the
Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons and the materials, supplies, equipment and other
personal property and fixtures located on or used in connection with the Assets
or Subject Hydrocarbons; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section
3.2(b)(1)(i), any proceeds received by Buyer from the sale or other disposition
of all or any portion of the Assets shall not be included as Gross Proceeds or
Other Income.

                  (c) "Allowable Carry-forwards" shall mean, with respect to any
Payment Period, the amount by which Net Profits exceed Gross Proceeds for such
Payment Period.

         3.3 Debits to Net Profits Account. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Net Profits Account has a beginning debit balance, as of the Effective Time,
of four million, seven hundred thousand dollars ($4,700,000). This amount is
comprised of the capital and operating expenditures of Buyer in the Clear Creek
Unit prior to the Closing Date of the Purchase Agreement, plus the cost of the
acquisition of one million dollars ($1,000,000). If it is determined that the
capital and operating amount requires post-Closing adjustment, the Parties agree
to adjust such amount as appropriate. Thereafter, with respect to each Payment
Period, the Net Profits Account shall be debited (without duplication), on a
cash accounting basis and to the extent directly accountable and allocable to
the Assets and the Leases, with the following amounts:

                  (a) All direct costs, if any, that are attributable to the
Assets, (i) for all direct labor (including fringe benefits), other services and
expenses necessary for developing, operating, producing, reworking and
maintaining the Assets, (ii) for dehydration, compression, separation,
gathering, transportation, and marketing of Subject Hydrocarbons, and (iii) for
all materials, supplies, equipment and other personal property and fixtures
purchased for use on, or in connection with, any of the Assets (including,
without limitation, (1) all amounts attributable to the interest of Buyer for
conformance of investment if the Assets or any part of parts thereof are
hereafter from time to time unitized or if any participating area in a unit is
changed, and (2) the cost of secondary recovery, pressure maintenance,
repressuring, recycling and other operations conducted for the purpose of
enhancing production);

                  (b) Costs (including, without limitation, outside legal,
accounting and engineering services) attributable to the Assets or Subject
Hydrocarbons of (i) handling, investigation and/or settling litigation,
administrative proceedings and claims (including, without limitation, lien
claims other than liens for borrowed funds), and (ii) judgments, penalties and
other liabilities (including interest thereon), attributable to the interest of
Buyer (and not reimbursed under insurance maintained by Buyer or others) and
involving any of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons, or incident to the
development, operation or maintenance of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons, or
requiring the payment or restitution of any proceeds of Subject Hydrocarbons, or
arising from tax or royalty audits, except that there shall not be debited to
the Net Profits Account any expense incurred by Buyer in litigation of any claim
or dispute arising hereunder between Buyer and Owner or amounts paid by Owner to
Buyer pursuant to a final order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
resolving any such claim or dispute or amounts paid by Owner to Buyer in
connection with the settlement of any such claim or dispute;

                  (c) All taxes (excluding income, transfer, inheritance,
estate, franchise and like taxes) with respect to the ownership of the Assets or
Subject Hydrocarbons or the production of Subject Hydrocarbons, including,
without limitation, production, severance, and/or excise and other similar taxes
assessed against, and/or measured by (or the proceeds or value attributable to)
Subject Hydrocarbons (without regard to the period of ownership for which such
taxes are assessed), occupation taxes, sales and use taxes, and ad valorem taxes
assessed against or attributable to the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons;

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (d) Insurance premiums attributable to the ownership or
operation of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons attributable to the interest of
Buyer for insurance actually carried for periods after the Effective Time with
respect to the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons, or incident to the development,
operation or maintenance of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons;

                  (e) All amounts attributable to the Assets or Subject
Hydrocarbons and consisting of (i) rent and other consideration paid for the use
or damage to the surface, and (ii) delay rentals, shut-in well payments, minimum
royalties and similar payments paid pursuant to the provisions of agreements in
force and effect before the Effective Time;

                  (f) If as a result of the occurrence of the bankruptcy or
insolvency or similar occurrence of the purchaser of Subject Hydrocarbons, any
amounts previously included in Gross Proceeds or Other Income are reclaimed from
Buyer or its representative, then the amounts reclaimed, as promptly as
practicable following Buyer's payment thereof; and

                  (g) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this NPI
Agreement, all other direct expenditures, if any, attributable to the Assets or
Subject Hydrocarbons for the necessary or proper development, operation,
maintenance and administration, of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons if
reasonably incurred; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein
provided to the contrary, the Net Profits Account shall not be debited with any
cost or expense that is deducted or taken into account in determining Gross
Proceeds or Other Income, including, without limitation, the value of any
component of Gross Proceeds or Other Income.

         3.4 Accounting for Net Profits. All debits to the Net Profits Account
calculated pursuant to Section 3.3 that are attributable to costs, expenses and
liabilities paid during a Payment Period, up to and including the last day of
such Payment Period, shall be debited against the Net Profits Account as of the
last day of such period. All credits to the Net Profits Account calculated
pursuant to Section 3.2 that are attributable to proceeds actually received
during a Payment Period from sales of Subject Hydrocarbons, up to and including
the last day of such Payment Period, shall be credited to the Net Profits
Account as of the last day of such Payment Period.

         3.5 Payment. Not more than 45 days following a Payment Period, Buyer
shall pay to Owner the balance in the Net Profits Account, if any, attributable
to such Payment Period (not to exceed the Gross Proceeds). Buyer shall send at
the same time a statement showing the calculation of the Net Profits Interest
and clearly showing (with sufficient description so that Owner can identify such
items and the particular wells and Subject Hydrocarbons involved) those items
which gave rise to debits and credits to the Net Profits Account during such
Payment Period and clearly showing the Subject Hydrocarbons produced during the
Payment Period covered by such statement, the prices at which such volumes were
sold, and the taxes paid with respect to such sales.

         3.6 Overpayments. If at any time Buyer is determined to have paid Owner
more than the amount then due with respect to the Net Profits Interest, Owner
shall be obligated to return any such overpayment after Buyer notifies Owner of
the amount of such overpayment and provides Buyer with substantiation thereof.
Alternatively, Buyer may offset future payments due with respect to the Net
Profits Interest for the amount of any such overpayment provided that such
overpayment is substantiated with written material to the satisfaction of Owner.

         3.7 Representation Regarding Expenses. At the time Buyer submits the
statement required under Section 3.5, Buyer shall represent to Owner that there
are no material past due invoices as of the end of the prior calendar quarter in
connection with the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         3.8 Owner's Right to Audit. Owner shall have the right, upon reasonable
prior notice and at reasonable times during regular business hours, to inspect
and audit Buyer's books and records kept in accordance with Section 3.1 (in
whatever form and wherever maintained or stored) to assure the accuracy of the
Net Profits Account. Buyer shall cooperate with Owner by giving Owner reasonable
office facilities, including access to and reasonable use of a copy machine and
assistance from Buyer's personnel (at Buyer's cost), in order for Owner to
perform its audit in compliance with generally-accepted accounting and auditing
principles. Buyer shall retain all records related to the Net Profits Account
for at least the three most recently-completed fiscal years, and Owner's right
to inspect and audit such books and records of Buyer hereunder shall survive for
three years following the end of each fiscal year. However, Owner shall not
inspect or audit such books and records more often than once per fiscal year
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer. If Owner's audit reveals that
Buyer has not maintained the Net Profits Account in compliance with the terms of
this NPI Agreement and such noncompliance results in an error in excess of 5% in
Buyer's calculation of the Net Profits Account Interest for any one or more
Payment Periods, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available,
Buyer shall reimburse Owner the reasonable cost of the audit. Except in the
context of a dispute related to this NPI Agreement, the results of the audit
shall not be released, transferred, or disclosed by Owner or its auditor outside
of its organization, and Owner will require any independent auditor to sign an
appropriate nondisclosure agreement.

IV. MISCELLANEOUS

         4.1 Governing Law. The validity, effect, and construction of this NPI
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without reference
to their respective conflict of laws provisions.

         4.2. Intentions of the Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to constitute either party hereto (under state law or for tax
purposes) the agent of, or in partnership with, the other party. If, however,
the parties hereto are deemed to constitute a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, the parties elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K,
Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Code, and agree not to take any position
inconsistent with such election. In addition, the parties hereto intend that the
Net Profits Interest reserved herein by Owner shall at all times be treated as
an interest in real property or land and as a Net Profits Interest based on net
profits under the Code, and each party hereto will file all tax returns and all
Internal Revenue Service filings consistent therewith.

         4.3 Notices. All notices and communications required or permitted under
this NPI Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by

                         NET PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT

         THIS FUTURE WELL NET PROFITS INTEREST AGREEMENT (this "NPI Agreement"),
dated effective as of August 28, 2006, is entered into by and between Mid-Power
Resource Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Owner"), and Marion Energy, Inc., a
Texas corporation ("Buyer").

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer have previously entered into that certain
Farmout and Exploration Agreement for the Clear Creek Natural Gas Unit, Carbon
and Emery Counties, Utah, dated effective February 22, 2005 (the "Farmout
Agreement"), wherein Owner granted Buyer the right to earn a seventy-five
percent working interest (75% WI) in leases within the Clear Creek Natural Gas
Unit upon completion of certain earning conditions, including: (i) drilling
obligations; (ii) a Capital Expenditure Program described therein; and (iii) the
issuance of options to purchase five million (5,000,000) ordinary shares of the
corporate parent of Buyer, at an exercise price of forty cents Australian
(AU$0.40).

         WHEREAS, Buyer has initiated, but not yet completed, the performance of
its earning requirements under the Farmout Agreement as summarized above, and
Owner has not assigned, and has not become obligated to assign, to Buyer a 75%
WI in Owner's leasehold interests in the Clear Creek Natural Gas Unit.

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer have entered into a new agreement under which
Buyer has agreed to purchase certain assets of Owner in the Clear Creek Natural
Gas Unit in Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah, subject to the reservation set
forth herein, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated of even
date to which Owner and Buyer are parties (the "Purchase Agreement") and to
which this NPI Agreement is an exhibit.

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Farmout Agreement will
be terminated as between Owner and Buyer, but kept in place as to third parties
that were signatory to the Farmout Agreement, so that upon consummation of the
asset transfers contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will assume
Owner's position under the Farmout Agreement with respect to said third parties.

         WHEREAS, the above-referenced termination of the Farmout Agreement as
between Owner and Buyer has become effective in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, and under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Owner is now
obligated to convey its working interest in and to the leases in the Clear Creek
Natural Gas Unit, subject to a reserved interest equal to 12.5% of the net
profits from gross proceeds attributable to 100% of the working interest based
on an approximate 80% net revenue interest in the leasehold interests and
related assets of Buyer in the Clear Creek Unit.

         WHEREAS, Owner and Buyer desire to enter into this NPI Agreement to
effect the foregoing reservation of such net profits interest from the transfer
of the leasehold interests and related assigned assets pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement and on the terms and conditions as provided herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Owner and Buyer do hereby agree as follows:

II. RESERVATION OF NET PROFITS INTEREST

         2.1 Reservation. Owner hereby reserves from the Assignment a Net
Profits Interest in and to the portion of Assets, Leases, and Subject

on an approximate 80% net revenue interest in the Lands or interests below the
surface of the Lands included in the interests conveyed, at any depth and
whether acquired by Buyer pursuant to this conveyance or otherwise, either
before or after the date hereof (proportionately reduced for any well and
related drilling spacing unit for which the interest held constitutes less than

exceed the Gross Proceeds attributable to the Assets, and subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein. This NPI Agreement is made by Owner to Buyer
without any warranty of title whatsoever, whether express, implied, or
statutory, except as against Persons claiming by, through or under Owner. This
Net Profits Interest is subject only to ALL PORTIONS OF THE Assets and Leases
not identified with particularity in that certain Existing Well Net Profits
Interest Agreement of even date herewith and further defined as those wells
drilled from this date forward and shall include any and all wells that produce
from zones within the Leases.

         2.2 Interest in Real Property; Servitude upon Estate. The Net Profits
Interest hereby reserved by Owner (a) is excepted, retained, and reserved by
Owner and excluded from and carved out of the working interest conveyed, (b) is
and shall continue to be a perpetual charge, burden, and servitude of Owner on
the working interest conveyed, and (c) constitutes Owner's estate in land and
not personal property.

         2.3 Acknowledgment. Owner and Buyer acknowledge that the Net Profits
Interest reserved hereby creates a Net Profits Interest under the Code, and each
agrees to report consistently therewith on its tax returns and other filings
with the Internal Revenue Service.

III. ACCOUNTING AND PAYMENT

         3.1 Establishment of Net Profits Account. Buyer shall establish and
maintain a Net Profits Account (the "Net Profits Account") in accordance with
the various provisions of this NPI Agreement and at all times shall keep true
and correct books and records with respect thereto. Such books and records shall
be open for inspection, copying, and audit by Owner and its accountants and
representatives.

         3.2 Credits to Net Profits Account. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Net Profits Account shall be credited with an amount equal to the
sum of Gross Proceeds, Other Income, and Allowable Carry-forwards from the
immediately preceding Payment Period.

election, Buyer may choose to treat amounts attributable to the Assets and
affected by such controversy (1) as Gross Proceeds attributable to the interest
of Owner, or (2) not as Gross Proceeds attributable to the interest of Owner and
in such case Buyer shall promptly deposit such amounts with an escrow agent
pending settlement of such controversy, provided that all amounts, including any
interest or Other Income, thereafter paid to Owner by such escrow agent out of

sale of Subject Hydrocarbons;

                           (ii) Cash settlements and cash make-ups attributable
to the interest of Buyer with
respect to Subject Hydrocarbons under gas balancing or similar agreements shall

occur after the Effective Time: the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons, or any part
thereof or interest therein, the interest of Buyer in any materials, supplies,
equipment or other personal property or fixtures located on or used in
connection with any or all of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons; except to the
extent such amounts are used to repair or replace the items damaged or lost
giving rise to the receipt of such amounts;

                           (iii) Amounts attributable to the interest of Buyer
received from a purchaser of Subject Hydrocarbons (1) as a prepayment of any
portion of the sales price for such Subject Hydrocarbons, (2) as advance gas
payments or (3) as payments pursuant to contractual provisions providing for

to take Subject Hydrocarbons pursuant to the contract that contains such
provisions) shall be considered to be attributable to the sale of Subject
Hydrocarbons; provided that such amounts shall not be considered attributable to

delivered in respect of any such payments under "make-up" or similar provisions.

                           (iv) The proceeds of all judgments and claims
attributable to the interest of Buyer for damages to one or more of the
following that occur after the Effective Time: the Assets or Subject
Hydrocarbons, or any part thereof or interest therein, any materials, supplies,
equipment or other personal property or fixtures, or any part thereof or
interest therein, located on or used in connection with any of the Assets or

                  (g) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this NPI
Agreement, all other direct expenditures, if any, attributable to the Assets or
Subject Hydrocarbons for the necessary or proper development, operation,
maintenance and administration, of the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons if
reasonably incurred; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein
provided to the contrary, the Net Profits Account shall not be debited with any
cost or expense that is deducted or taken into account in determining Gross
Proceeds or Other Income, including, without limitation, the value of any
component of Gross Proceeds or Other Income.

         3.4 Accounting for Net Profits. All debits to the Net Profits Account
calculated pursuant to Section 3.3 that are attributable to costs, expenses and
liabilities paid during a Payment Period, up to and including the last day of
such Payment Period, shall be debited against the Net Profits Account as of the
last day of such period. All credits to the Net Profits Account calculated
pursuant to Section 3.2 that are attributable to proceeds actually received
during a Payment Period from sales of Subject Hydrocarbons, up to and including
the last day of such Payment Period, shall be credited to the Net Profits
Account as of the last day of such Payment Period.

         3.5 Payment. Not more than 45 days following a Payment Period, Buyer
shall pay to Owner the balance in the Net Profits Account, if any, attributable
to such Payment Period (not to exceed the Gross Proceeds). Buyer shall send at
the same time a statement showing the calculation of the Net Profits Interest
and clearly showing (with sufficient description so that Owner can identify such
items and the particular wells and Subject Hydrocarbons involved) those items
which gave rise to debits and credits to the Net Profits Account during such
Payment Period and clearly showing the Subject Hydrocarbons produced during the
Payment Period covered by such statement, the prices at which such volumes were
sold, and the taxes paid with respect to such sales.

         3.6 Overpayments. If at any time Buyer is determined to have paid Owner
more than the amount then due with respect to the Net Profits Interest, Owner
shall be obligated to return any such overpayment after Buyer notifies Owner of
the amount of such overpayment and provides Buyer with substantiation thereof.
Alternatively, Buyer may offset future payments due with respect to the Net
Profits Interest for the amount of any such overpayment provided that such
overpayment is substantiated with written material to the satisfaction of Owner.

         3.7 Representation Regarding Expenses. At the time Buyer submits the
statement required under Section 3.5, Buyer shall represent to Owner that there
are no material past due invoices as of the end of the prior calendar quarter in
connection with the Assets or Subject Hydrocarbons.

         3.8 Owner's Right to Audit. Owner shall have the right, upon reasonable
prior notice and at reasonable times during regular business hours, to inspect
and audit Buyer's books and records kept in accordance with Section 3.1 (in
whatever form and wherever maintained or stored) to assure the accuracy of the
Net Profits Account. Buyer shall cooperate with Owner by giving Owner reasonable
office facilities, including access to and reasonable use of a copy machine and
assistance from Buyer's personnel (at Buyer's cost), in order for Owner to
perform its audit in compliance with generally-accepted accounting and auditing
principles. Buyer shall retain all records related to the Net Profits Account
for at least the three most recently-completed fiscal years, and Owner's right
to inspect and audit such books and records of Buyer hereunder shall survive for
three years following the end of each fiscal year. However, Owner shall not
inspect or audit such books and records more often than once per fiscal year
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer. If Owner's audit reveals that
Buyer has not maintained the Net Profits Account in compliance with the terms of
this NPI Agreement and such noncompliance results in an error in excess of 5% in
Buyer's calculation of the Net Profits Account for any one or more Payment
Periods, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available, Buyer
shall reimburse Owner the reasonable cost of the audit. Except in the context of
a dispute related to this NPI Agreement, the results of the audit shall not be
released, transferred, or disclosed by Owner or its auditor outside of its
organization, and Owner will require any independent auditor to sign an
appropriate nondisclosure agreement.

         4.6 Binding Effect. All the covenants and agreements of Buyer and Owner

provisions of this NPI Agreement.

         4.9 Multiple Counterparts. This NPI Agreement may be executed by Owner

original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. This NPI Agreement shall become operative when each party has
executed at least one counterpart of this NPI Agreement. Delivery of an executed

Mid-Power Resources Corporation
8290 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 186
Las Vegas, Nevada 89117

Attention: James W. Scott

Gentlemen,

Asset Purchase by Marion Energy, Inc. from Mid-Power Resources Corporation --
Clear Creek Natural Gas Unit, Carbon and Emery County, Utah, USA

Capitalised terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the same meaning as
in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

This opinion applies only in respect of the Parent and only has regard to the
laws of Australia and the relevant states thereof.

(a) The Parent is registered under the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia as a
public company limited by shares. It has all of the legal capacity and powers of
an individual and in addition the powers of a body corporate specified in
section 124(1) of the Corporations Act. That capacity and those powers qualify
it to conduct its business including the ownership of all of the capital stock
of the Buyer.

(b) The Asset Purchase Agreement, the stock option agreement relating to
Reserve-Based Options, the Share Payment and the Options have to the extent
necessary been authorized, executed and delivered by the Parent and are the
valid and binding obligations of the Parent, enforceable against the Parent in
accordance with their terms, subject to (a) any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; (b)
general equitable principles; and (c) clarification of the meaning and effect on
the Parent in respect of concepts and terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement
which have no meaning in the law of Australia or the relevant state of
Australia.

(c) There is no limit on the number of shares which might be issued by the
Parent, as the concept of authorized capital no longer applies in corporations
law in Australia. The issued capital of the Parent (prior to giving effect to
the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement) is set out in the
Asset Purchase Agreement, as is a description of the outstanding options
pursuant to which the Parent is or may be obliged to issue shares. These match
the total of (a) the corresponding information in the most recent Annual Report
of the Parent, which information would have been verified by the Auditors of the
Parent; and (b) additional information as to such shares and options advised by
the Parent to Australian Stock Exchange Limited ("ASX"), as it is required by
law to do, since the date to which that Annual Report is made up, namely 30 June
2005.

<PAGE>

(d) The most recent Annual Report of Parent records that Buyer is a wholly owned
subsidiary. That information would have been verified by the Auditors of the
Parent. Given the significance of the Buyer in the corporate group of which the
Parent is ultimate holding company, the absence of notification to ASX indicates
that no change has occurred.

(e) The Share Payment and the Immediately Exercisable Options that are being
issued pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement have been authorized and when
issued by the Directors of the Parent will be validly issued. The shares in the
Share Payment will be fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights of
others. No payment to the Parent is required for the Immediately Exercisable
Options as the consideration for their issue is provided by Seller under the
Asset Purchase Agreement. The Share Payment and the Immediately Exercisable
Options will have been issued in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations and the Constitution of the Parent.

(f) The Reserve-Based Options when issued, and the shares issued on their
exercise (which requires payment of the AUD 0.80 per option) will have been
authorized and when issued by the Directors of the Parent will be validly
issued. The shares will be fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights
of others. No payment to the Parent is required for the Reserve-Based Options as
the consideration for their issue is provided by Seller under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent is all that is
required.

Yours faithfully

/s/ Robert Paterson
