In addition to the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Sellers additional consideration for the CVR Xxxxx ("Additional Consideration"), which additional


14



 
consideration shall be calculated, with respect to any Reserve Determination Date, in the following manner:
 
(i) First, a value shall be determined for each CVR Well based upon
 
the following formula:
 
((AxB)+(CxD))xB where
 
A = the sum of (i) the MCFE of PDP Reserves for the CVR Well in the Reserve Report, and (ii) the MCFE of all production from the CVR Well since the Effective Time.
 
B $3.00 or, if Section 3.2(d) applies, the Adjusted PDP Price.
 
C = the MCFE of all Proved Reserves, other than PDP Reserves, for the CVR
 
Well in the Reserve Report.
 
D = $3.00 or, if Section 3.2(d) applies, the Adjusted Proved Price.
 
E= The lesser of (i) .35 or (ii) the working interest, expressed as a percentage,
 
retained by EBS in the CVR Well.
 
(ii) Second, the aggregate value of all CVR Xxxxx shall be determined by adding together all of the individual values for each CVR Well determined in Section 3 .2(a)(i).
 
(iii) Third, the cumulative Additional Consideration Offsets shall be subtracted from the value obtained in Section 3.2(a)(ii); provided, however, that the calculations set forth in this Section 3.2(a) shall be made in a manner such that the entire amount of deductions for Additional Consideration Offsets shall be applied solely against the Additional Consideration payments allocable to the Class A Limited Partners, in accordance with their relative percentage ownership percentages as set forth in Exhibit B, and payments of Additional Consideration to the Class B Limited Partners shall not be affected by Additional Consideration Offsets.
 
(iv) Fourth, the cumulative value of Additional Consideration previously paid to Sellers shall be subtracted from the value obtained in Section 3 .2 (a)(iii).
 
(b) In determining the volumes of MCFE to be used in calculating the Additional Consideration, the average of the Proved Reserves and PDP Reserves in the Reserve Report prepared by the reserve engineer of each Party shall be utilized, provided that in no event shall the average ever exceed 125% of the Proved Reserves or PDP Reserves stated in the Reserve Report prepared by Buyer's reserve engineer. Unless otherwise approved by the other Party, Buyer shall use NSAI as their reserve engineer and Sellers shall utilize one of the reserve


15



 
engineering firms set forth on Exhibit M. All Reserve Reports shall be prepared in good faith utilizing reporting standards mandated by the SEC and each Party shall be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the preparation of the Reserve Reports by their respective reserve engineers. In the event a Party fails to deliver a Reserve Report in a timely manner, such Reserve Report shall be disregarded, and the MCFE volumes in the other Party's Reserve Report shall be applied for purposes of this Section 3.2.
 
(c) The Additional Consideration, if any, shall be allocated among Sellers in the manner set forth on Exhibit B (subject to necessary adjustments among the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iii)), and shall be paid to Sellers (i) within thirty (30) days following the applicable Reserve Report Delivery Date for any Additional Consideration paid in the form of WHT Stock and (ii) within ten (10) days following the applicable Reserve Report Delivery Date for any Additional Consideration paid in cash (in each case, referred to as an "Additional Consideration Payment Date"). In no event will Buyer be required to make any payments of Additional Consideration prior to the Closing.
 
(d) In the event EBS has commenced drilling of CVR Xxxxx on or before the final Reserve Determination Date but it is not reasonably possible to complete a Reserve Report prior to the applicable Reserve Report Delivery Date, an additional Reserve Determination Date of not later than August 31, 2006, shall be permitted upon written request of the Sellers, provided, however, (i) such additional Reserve Determination Date shall be permitted only with respect to CVR Xxxxx for which EBS has commenced drilling on or before June 30, 2006, and for which no Reserve Report has been delivered on or before the final Reserve Report Delivery Date, and (ii) any payments of Additional Consideration relating to such Reserve Determination Date shall be computed using the Adjusted PDP Price or the Adjusted Proved Price, as the case may be.
 
(e) The Additional Consideration following the first two Reserve Determination Dates shall be comprised of sixty percent (60%) WHT Stock and forty percent (40%) cash; and after the final Reserve Determination Date, the Additional Consideration shall be comprised of a combination of WHT Stock and cash such that the total consideration paid to Sellers under this Agreement, including the Purchase Price and all Additional Consideration payments, shall be comprised of fifty percent (50%) WHT Stock and fifty percent (50%) cash; provided, however, Buyer may, in its sole discretion and based upon its own forecasts, adjust the ratio of WHT Stock to cash paid as Additional Consideration after any Reserve Determination Date as necessary to achieve a final composition of fifty percent (50%) WHT Stock and fifty percent (50%) cash for the total consideration paid to Seller under this Agreement.
 
The number of shares of WHT Stock to be issued as Additional Consideration shall be calculated as follows:
 
S= VIP
 
where
 
S = number of shares of WHT Stock


16



value of Additional Consideration to be comprised of WHT Stock

trading days following the applicable Reserve Determination Date
 
(f) After the Closing, neither EBS nor Buyer shall have any obligation whatsoever to finance or otherwise contribute to the development of CVR Xxxxx other than through the sale by EBS, through the Principals' marketing efforts, of interests in CVR Xxxxx. Buyer shall have the option, but shall have no obligation, to fund CVR Xxxxx subject to the Lease Bank Agreement in the manner set forth in the Lease Bank Agreement. In addition, Buyer shall have the option, but shall have no obligation, to fund twenty-five percent (25%) of CVR Xxxxx not subject to the Lease Bank Agreement on standard partnership terms. Neither EBS nor Buyer shall be subject to any liability to Sellers on the basis of EBS's or Buyer's refusal to provide financing or any other support relating to the development of CVR Xxxxx.
 
(g) The Sellers acknowledge that from and after the Effective Time, the Principals shall bear sole responsibility, subject to Buyer's participation options set forth above, for securing financing for and developing, on behalf of EBS, all of the CVR Xxxxx through the sale of interests in the CVR Xxxxx to third parties. It is the Parties' intention that the proceeds of EBS's sales, through the Principals' sales efforts, of interests in CVR Xxxxx will be sufficient to cover EBS's share of all drilling and completion costs in the CVR Xxxxx. For each CVR Well, Westside will maintain a ledger comparing (i) the proceeds EBS has received, from and after the Effective Date, from the sale of interests in such CVR Well (the "CVR Promote Proceeds") with (ii) the drilling and completion costs actually paid by EBS from and after the Effective Date in respect of EBS's retained interest in such CVR Well (the "CVR Costs"), which, for each CVR Well, shall result in either an excess of CVR Promote Proceeds over CVR Costs (a "CVR Surplus") or an excess of CVR Costs over CVR Promote Proceeds (a "CVR Deficiency"). In the event of a CVR Deficiency for any CVR Well, the Class A Limited Partners shall pay to EBS an amount equal to such CVR Deficiency, reduced by the cumulative amount of any CVR Surpluses, to the extent not previously taken into account for purposes of this sentence, on CVR Xxxxx previously completed (the "Net CVR Deficiency"). If the Class A Limited Partners should fail to pay EBS the full amount of any Net CVR Deficiency, the CVR Well in question will no longer constitute a CVR Well for all purposes of this Section 3.2.
 
33Purchase Price Adiustments/Post-Closing Settlement. The Purchase Price
 
shall be adjusted as follows:
(a)The Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by the following ("Sellers' Credits"):
 
(1) the value of (i) all Inventory Hydrocarbons, such value to be based upon the prevailing market value for crude oil in effect as of the Effective Time adjusted for grade and gravity, less taxes and transportation fees deducted by the purchaser of such oil, such oil to be measured at the Effective Time by the operators of the Properties; and (ii) the value of all of EBS's unsold inventory of gas plant products, if any, attributable to the Leases at the Effective Time valued in the same manner as if such products had been sold; and


17



 
(2) the amount of any ad valorem, property, production, severance and similar taxes and assessments on the Properties paid by EBS after the Effective Time (but prior to the Closing) and attributable to the ownership of the Properties during the period after the Effective Time or attributable to production that occurs after the Effective Time.
 
(b) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by the following
 
("Buyer's Credits"):
 
(1) the total sales value of all Hydrocarbons sold by EBS after the Effective Time, all of which are attributable to the Properties, and any other monies collected by EBS with respect to the ownership or operation of the Properties after the Effective Time, to the extent such monies are distributed or otherwise transferred by EBS to the Sellers prior to the Closing;
 
(2) the amount of any ad valorem, property, production, severance and similar taxes and assessments on the Properties paid by EBS after the Effective Time and attributable to the ownership of the Properties during the period prior to the Effective Time or attributable to production that occurs prior to the Effective Time;
 
(3) the amount of any net working capital deficit, as shown on the Financial Statements, excluding (A) all amounts with related parties, and (B) purchase price adjustment amounts taken into account in other paragraphs of this Section 3.2(b); and
 
(4) the Allocated Value of any Casualty Loss affecting any of the
 
Properties or any portion thereof.
 
(c) Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, at least fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, Sellers' estimate of the adjusted Purchase Price to be paid at Closing, together with a preliminary statement setting forth Sellers' estimate of the amount of each adjustment to the Purchase Price to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3. On or before Closing, Sellers and Buyer shall mutually prepare and agree to a closing statement substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit L evidencing the amount actually wire transferred and all adjustments to the Purchase Price taken into account at Closing, including all of the Buyer's and Sellers' Credits set forth in this Section 3.3 (the "Settlement Statement"). The Settlement Statement shall be applied in determining the Purchase Price to be paid to Sellers at Closing.
 
(d) Within 120 days after Closing, Buyer shall provide to Sellers, for Sellers' concurrence, an accounting (the "Post Closing Settlement Statement") of the actual amounts of Sellers' and Buyer's Credits for the adjustments set out in this Section 3.3. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement from Buyer, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a written report containing all of Sellers' proposed changes to such statement with explanations therefor, it being agreed that Sellers' failure to deliver such report to Buyer within such time period shall constitute acceptance by Sellers of Buyer's statement (unless failure is a result of Buyer's failure to provide necessary information or data to Sellers in a timely manner). Except for the changes raised by Sellers in their written report, no additional changes to the statement provided by Buyer shall be considered by the Parties. If Sellers have timely delivered such written report, the Parties shall then undertake to agree on the items in dispute and the adjusted Purchase Price no later than


18



 
thirty (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of the Post Closing Settlement Statement. The Parties shall attempt to resolve any disagreements on a best efforts basis. In the event such disagreements cannot be resolved, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration by either Party pursuant to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. The difference between the final determination of the Purchase Price set forth on the final Post Closing Settlement Statement and that set forth on the Settlement Statement shall be added to or subtracted from, as the case may be, Additional Consideration payments following the date of such final determination. Buyer will prepare any information reasonably requested by Sellers in order for Sellers to prepare such statement or verify Buyer's written report. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Party may, at its own cost and expense, engage third party consultants for the purpose of preparing and reviewing the Post Closing Settlement Statement and determining the final Purchase Price adjustments under this Article III.

TITLE MATTERS
 
 6.1 Notice of Title Defect. Westside shall notify Sellers in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after Westside has knowledge thereof, and in any event on or before the final Reserve Determination Date, of any matter that would cause EBS's title to any or all of the Properties not to be Marketable Title ("Title Defect"), in each case together with an explanation of (a) the nature of such Title Defect, (b) the Properties (or portions thereof) affected thereby, and (c) Westside's proposed Defect Value (as hereinafter defined) for such Title Defect. Any matters that would otherwise constitute Title Defects but which are not specifically raised in writing (with the explanation as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence) by Westside prior to the final Additional Consideration Payment Date shall conclusively be deemed waived by Westside.


23



 
6.2Remedies for Title Defects.
 
 
(a) Buyer shall be entitled to an Additional Consideration Offset for any Title Defects at any time on or before the final Additional Consideration Payment Date. A notice requesting an Additional Consideration Offset for Title Defects must be timely and in writing and include appropriate documentation to substantiate the adjustment, or Buyer will be deemed to have waived its claim to such offset.
 
(b) If Buyer gives notice under the previous section, the Parties will meet and use their best efforts to agree on the validity of the claim and, if applicable, the amount of the adjustment (the "Defect Value"), using the following criteria:
 
(1) If the claim is based on EBS owning a different net revenue interest in a Property than that shown on Exhibit D with respect to such Property, then the adjustment will be the absolute value of the number determined by the following formula:
 
Adjustment = A x (1-[B/C])
 
A = Allocated Value for the affected interest
 
B = Correct net revenue interest for the affected interest
 
C = Net revenue interest for the affected interest as shown on Exhibit D
 
(2) If the claim is based on any other obligation or burden, the adjustment will be the sum necessary to compensate Buyer for the adverse economic effect on the affected Property.
 
(c) If the Defect Value cannot be determined based on the above criteria, and if the Parties cannot otherwise agree on the Defect Value or the Parties are unable to agree upon whether a Title Defect exists, subject to the provisions of Article 6.2(d) below, the Parties may elect to resolve the dispute under the arbitration provisions in this Agreement.
 
(d) No Additional Consideration Offset for Title Defects shall be made unless and until the aggregate value of all Title Defects (herein called the "Aggregate Title Defect Value") exceeds a threshold of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and once the threshold is exceeded, all Defect Values shall be considered in applying this Article VI. Defect Values with an agreed individual value of less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) shall not be included in the calculation of the Aggregate Title Defect Value. For purposes of this section, the cost to cure a Title Defect shall not be considered in determining Aggregate Title Defect Value.
 
(e) Sellers may, at their sole option, notify Westside at any time within ten (10) business days after receiving notice from Buyer of a Title Defect that they elect to cure some or all of such Title Defects. No Additional Consideration Offset will be applied for Title Defects that Sellers cure. If any Title Defect is not cured within thirty (30) days after Sellers so


24



 
notify Westside of their intention to cure, an Additional Consideration Offset will be applied as described in Section 3.2.

If the Allocated Value of all the Properties or portions thereof affected by Casualty Losses exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, either Buyer or Sellers may terminate this Agreement upon written notification to the other, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall not be consummated and thereafter neither Buyer nor Sellers shall have any liability or further obligations to the other hereunder. Prior to Closing, the Principal Parties shall not, and shall cause EBS not to, voluntarily compromise, settle or adjust any amounts payable by reason of any Casualty Loss without first obtaining the written consent of Westside.

ARTICLE IX
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
 9.1 Buyer's Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or otherwise relating to (1) the breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty or covenant herein set forth, or (2) the ownership of EBS after the Closing.
 
 9.2 The Principal Parties' Indemnity. The Principal Parties shall indemnify and hold EBS and the Buyer Group harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or otherwise relating to (1) the breach by Sellers of any representation, warranty or covenant herein set forth or (2) the ownership of EBS prior to the Closing (a "Seller Indemnified Loss").
 
 9.3 Indemnification Procedures. In the event that any claim for which a Party providing indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") would be liable to the other Party (the "Indemnified Party") is asserted against or sought to be collected by any third person, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim, specifying the nature of such claim and the amount of the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim) (the "Indemnity Claim Notice"). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Claim Notice (the "Indemnity Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not it disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim, and (ii) if it does not dispute such liability, whether or not it desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim; provided however, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Indemnity Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading, submission or document which it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity Notice Period that it does not dispute such liability and desires to defend against such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such claim by appropriate


30



 
proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted to a final conclusion, in such a manner as to avoid any risk of the Indemnified Party becoming subject to liability. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against such claim for which it is liable, whether by not giving timely notice as provided above or otherwise, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to defend against such claim, and the amount of any resulting Losses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, shall be conclusively deemed to be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.
 
9.4 Buyer's Sole Remedy. Buyer's sole remedy in the event of a Seller Indemnified Loss shall be recovery of any such Losses by way of an Additional Consideration Offset, except where such Seller Indemnified Loss is the result of gross negligence, fraud, or willful neglect on the part of any Seller.
 
9.5 Survival of Indemnity. Each Party's indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate upon the Final Additional Consideration Payment Date.

If within said period a decision is not rendered by the board, or majority thereof, new arbitrators may be named and shall act hereunder at the election of the Parties in like manner as if none has been previously named.
 
10.3 Decision Binding. The decision of the arbitrators, or the majority thereof, made
 
in writing shall be final, binding and non-appealable upon the Parties hereto as to the questions
