    WITNESSETH,
      THAT:

    

    WHEREAS,
      Farmor is the owner of one hundred percent (100%) working interest in that
      certain State of Alaska Oil and Gas Lease ADL-390839 dated March 1, 2007
      ("Lease"); and,

    

    WHEREAS,
      said Lease is made subject to this Contract insofar and only insofar as said
      Lease covers the following described lands situated in:

    

    Township
      11 North, Range 17 East. Umiat Meridian, Alaska

    Section
      25: N2NE, SENE

    

    Sometimes
      referred to herein as "Farmout Lands"; and,

    

    WHEREAS,
      said Farmout Lands are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Lease Acreage";
      and,

    

    WHEREAS,
      Farmor has agreed to assign to Operator and Operator has agreed to accept from
      Farmor an assignment covering certain interests in the Farmout Lands, on the
      terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth;

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements hereinafter
      contained, to be performed by the parties hereto, it is agreed between the
      parties as follows:

    

    1. TEST
      WELL 

    

    1.1 Test
      Well:
      On or
      before March 15, 2008, Operator shall commence the actual drilling of a test
      well (hereinafter the "Test Well") at a lawful location of its choice in the
      NE
      of Section 29, Township 11 North, Range 18 East, Umiat Meridian, Alaska. Said
      Test Well shall be drilled diligently, without unnecessary delay, and in a
      workmanlike manner to a depth of 11,000 feet or to a depth sufficient to test
      the Cretaceous Kemik formation,. whichever depth is the lesser, and shall be
      production tested, and plugged and abandoned in accordance with all applicable
      laws, rules and regulations, and this Contract.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    1.2 References
      to "Test Well".
      For all
      purposes of this Contract, the term "Test Well" shall also apply to the drilling
      of a Substitute Well ("Substitute Well") as provided in 1.3 below. 

    

    1.3 Substitute
      Well.
      If
      Operator discontinues drilling the Test Well before the depth requirement is
      satisfied because of encountering impenetrable substances, heaving shale,
      excessive salt, mechanical conditions, or because of other conditions which
      make
      further drilling impracticable and which Operator, after a diligent effort,
      is
      unable to overcome, Operator shall have the right, but not the obligation,
      to
      drill a Substitute Well in the same quarter section in which the discontinued
      well was located, provided the actual drilling of said Substitute Well is
      commenced not later than three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the
      abandonment of the discontinued well.

    

    The
      Substitute Well shall be drilled in the manner and to the depth specified for
      the Test Well. If the Substitute Well is commenced, drilled, production tested,
      and plugged and abandoned as herein provided, Operator shall be deemed to have
      complied with this Contract to the same extent as if the Test Well had been
      commenced, drilled, production tested, and plugged and abandoned in accordance
      herewith.

    

    2. TITLES

    

    The
      rights granted Operator under this Contract are granted without warranty of
      title. Upon request, Farmor shall furnish to Operator such abstracts or other
      evidence of title as it has in its files, together with photostats of the basic
      Lease and any intermediate assignment(s) thereof, but there shall be no
      obligation on the part of Farmor to purchase new or supplemental abstracts.
      Operator shall furnish to Farmor, without cost, copies of all title opinions
      acquired by Operator covering the Lease Acreage.

    

    2.1 Deed
      of Trust.
      Reference is made to that certain deed of trust dated September 17, 2007 ("DOT")
      granted by True North to First American Title Insurance Company (Trustee) for
      the benefit of Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (Beneficiary). Prior to the delivery
      of
      any well information by Operator to True North as provided in Paragraph 6
      herein, True North shall secure a Subordination Agreement, which will document
      that the DOT is subordinate to this Contract so that the interest earned by
      Operator in the Lease Acreage is free and clear of lien imposed by said DOT.
      True North shall provide Operator with a copy of said Subordination
      Agreement.

    

    2.2 Consents.
      Except
      for governmental consents and approvals of assignment that are customarily
      obtained after assignment, True North represents and warrants that there are
      no
      pre-emptive rights or consents to assignment burdening the Lease
      Acreage.

      ASSIGNMENT

    

    If
      Operator fails to drill the Test Well to the required depth, in the manner

      its right to acquire any interest in Farmor's Lease Acreage under this
      Contract.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    If
      Operator drills the Test Well to the required depth, in the manner and time
      herein provided, submits evidence thereof, and otherwise complies with and
      performs all other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, then Operator shall
      earn and be entitled to receive from Farmor an assignment, effective from the
      date of the release of the rotary rig from the Test Well, covering an undivided
      seventy-five percent (75%) of 8/8ths working interest and a proportionate (in
      accordance with Farmor's assigned working interest) seventy-eight and one-third
      percent (78.33%) net revenue interest in the Farmout Lands, limited to those
      depths and formations lying between the surface and the stratigraphic equivalent
      of 100 feet below the total depth drilled in the Test Well. Any assignment
      earned by Operator shall be without warranty of title; shall be subject to
      all
      of the expressed and implied terms of the Lease and any prior assignment(s)
      thereof, which will be assumed by Operator to the extent of the assigned
      interests; and shall be in the form of a State of Alaska Assignment Of Interest
      In Oil And Gas Lease. True North shall provide to Operator such assignment
      within thirty (30) days from the date that the rotary rig is released from
      the
      Test Well.

    

    4. COST
      OF TEST WELL

    

    The
      entire cost, expense, and risk of drilling, production testing, and plugging
      and
      abandoning the Test Well shall be borne by Operator, it being understood that

      to,
      any claim. demand, action, cause of action, judgment, attorney's fee or expense

      property, or for injury to or death of any person arising out of or in
      connection with the drilling of the Test Well, whether through an act or
      omission of a party to this Contract, or otherwise.

      any third party covering drilling and operations on the Lease Acreage or on
      other lands and leases which are pooled, unitized, or spaced with the Lease

      agreement, the Operating Agreement hereunder shall continue to govern the rights

      by the Operating Agreement. At such time, if ever, that such other operating
      agreement shall terminate, or any portion of the Lease Acreage is released
      therefrom, then the Operating Agreement issued hereunder shall again become
      effective as to such lands and depths; it being the intent of the parties that

for  such  conflicts,   defaults,   terminations,   amendments,   accelerations,

Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended  (the  "1934  Act")  (all of the

                                       4
<PAGE>
foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits  included  therein and
financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to
such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to
herein as the "SEC Documents").  As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material  respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the
rules and  regulations of the SEC promulgated  thereunder  applicable to the SEC
Documents,  and none of the SEC Documents,  at the time they were filed with the
SEC,  contained  any untrue  statement of a material  fact or omitted to state a
material  fact  required to be stated  therein or necessary in order to make the
statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has
been,  required to be amended or updated under  applicable  law (except for such
statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent  filings prior the date
hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial  statements of LBC included
in the  SEC  Documents  complied  as to  form  in  all  material  respects  with
applicable  accounting  requirements  and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect  thereto.  Such financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance  with  United  States  generally  accepted   accounting   principles,
consistently  applied,  during  the  periods  involved  (except  (i)  as  may be
otherwise  indicated in such financial  statements or the notes thereto, or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements,  to the extent they may not include
footnotes or may be condensed or summary  statements)  and fairly present in all
material  respects the  consolidated  financial  position of LBC as of the dates
thereof and the consolidated  results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods  then ended  (subject,  in the case of unaudited  statements,  to normal
year-end audit  adjustments).  LBC has no liabilities,  contingent or otherwise,
except as set forth in the  financial  statements of the LBC included in the SEC
Documents,  other  than (i)  liabilities  incurred  in the  ordinary  course  of
business  subsequent to December 31, 2006 and (ii)  obligations  under contracts
and  commitments  incurred in the  ordinary  course of business and not required
under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial
statements,  which,  individually  or in the aggregate,  are not material to the
financial condition or operating results of LBC.

     2.11 Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no
material  adverse  change and no  material  adverse  development  in the assets,
liabilities,  business, properties,  operations, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of LBC.

     2.12 Absence of Litigation.  There is no action,  suit, claim,  proceeding,
inquiry  or  investigation  before or by any  court,  public  board,  government
agency,  self-regulatory  organization  or body pending or, to the  knowledge of
LBC,  threatened  against or  affecting  LBC, or their  officers or directors in
their capacity as such. LBC is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might
give rise to any of the foregoing.

     2.15 Tax  Status.  LBC has made or filed all  federal,  state  and  foreign
income and all other tax  returns,  reports  and  declarations  required  by any
jurisdiction  to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that LBC has
paid all taxes and other governmental  assessments and charges that are material
in  amount,  shown  or  determined  to be  due  on  such  returns,  reports  and
declarations,  except  those being  contested in good faith and has set aside on
its  books  provisions  reasonably  adequate  for the  payment  of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations

                                       5
<PAGE>
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any  jurisdiction,  and the officers of LBC know of no basis
for any such claim. LBC has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of
limitations  relating to the  assessment or collection of any foreign,  federal,
state or local tax.

     2.16 Certain Transactions. Except for arm's length transactions pursuant to
which LBC or any of its  Subsidiaries  makes payments in the ordinary  course of
business upon terms no less favorable than LBC or any of its Subsidiaries  could
obtain from third parties and none of the officers,  directors,  or employees of
LBC is presently a party to any transaction  with LBC or any of its Subsidiaries
(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, to the  knowledge of LBC, any  corporation,  partnership,  trust or
other  entity  in  which  any  officer,  director,  or any such  employee  has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

     2.17 Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning LBC set forth in
this Agreement and in connection with the  transactions  contemplated  hereby is
true and correct in all  material  respects and LBC has not omitted to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements  made herein or therein,
in light of the  circumstances  under which they were made, not  misleading.  No
event or  circumstance  has occurred or exists with respect to LBC or any of its
Subsidiaries  or its or their  business,  properties,  prospects,  operations or
financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation,  requires
public  disclosure  or  announcement  by LBC but which has not been so  publicly
announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that LBC's reports filed under
the 1934 Act are being  incorporated  into an effective  registration  statement
filed by LBC's under the 1933 Act).

     2.18  Internal  Accounting  Controls.  LBC  maintains  a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the LBC's board of directors,
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.

     2.19 Foreign  Corrupt  Practices.  Neither LBC, nor any director,  officer,
agent,  employee or other person acting on behalf of LBC or any Subsidiary  has,
in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, LBC, 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.

                                       6
<PAGE>
     2.20 Solvency. LBC (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) is solvent (i.e.,  its assets have a fair market value in excess
of the amount required to pay its probable  liabilities on its existing debts as
they become  absolute and matured) and  currently  LBC has no  information  that
would lead it to reasonably  conclude that LBC would not, after giving effect to
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it
intend to take any action  that would  impair its ability to, pay its debts from
time to time incurred in connection  therewith as such debts mature. LBC did not
receive a qualified  opinion from its  auditors  with respect to its most recent
fiscal year end and,  after giving effect to the  transactions  contemplated  by
this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors
might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.

     2.21 Breach of  Representations  and  Warranties by LBC. If LBC  materially
breaches any of the  representations or warranties set forth in this Article II,
and in  addition  to any  other  remedies  available  to LBI,  pursuant  to this
Agreement,  LBC shall pay to LBI, liquidated damages in an amount ordered by any
court of  competent  jurisdiction  in cash or in shares  of common  stock at the
option of LBI., until such breach is cured.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                    COVENANTS

       3.1 Although LBC franchises shall be entitled to sell products other than
LaSalle Ice Cream,  in order to preserve the  reputation  of quality  associated
with  LaSalle  Brands  Ice  Cream,  LBI's  approval  of such  products  shall be
required, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

       3.2 LBC franchises  shall be prohibited  from selling any ice cream other
than LaSalle Brands Ice Cream.

      3.3 LBI shall  assist  LBC in the  preparation  of the  Uniform  Franchise
Offering Circular customarily used in the sale of franchises and LBC shall first
give LBI the right to review and approve all statements in the Circular.

     3.4 LBI shall be  prohibited  from granting any other third party the right
to operate retail establishments in the United States utilizing the name LaSalle
Brands Ice Cream.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LBC'S PERFORMANCE

     4.1  Conditions.  LBC's  obligations  hereunder  shall  be  subject  to the
satisfaction,  at or before the Closing, of all the conditions set forth in this
Article IV. LBC may waive any of these  conditions  in whole or in part  without

constitute  a waiver  by LBC of any  other  condition  of or any of LBC's  other
rights or  remedies,  at law or in equity,  if LBI shall be in default of any of
their representations, warranties, or covenants under this Agreement.

time.

representations, warranties, or covenants under this Agreement.
