(with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under (i) any note, bond, mortgage, license, or loan or credit agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser or any of its Properties may be bound or (ii) any other such agreement, instrument or obligation, except in the case of clauses (a) and (c) where such violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure to receive consent or approval, or acceleration with respect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.03. Investment. The Purchased Common Stock is being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, or the accounts of clients for whom such Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority (all of whom such Purchaser represents and warrants are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Common Stock or any part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America or any state, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Common Stock under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or under an exemption from such registration available thereunder (including, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Common Stock, such Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so only (i) in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities Law, as then in effect, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or (ii) in the manner contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities.

Section 4.04. Nature of Purchaser. Such Purchaser (a) is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Common Stock, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 4.05. Receipt of Information; Authorization. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a) had access to the Endeavour SEC Documents and (b) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of Endeavour regarding such matters. Such Purchaser believes it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of the purchase of the Common Stock.

Section 4.06. Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the shares of Purchased Common Stock it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Endeavour in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

In this connection, Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.07. Certain Fees. No fees or commissions will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased Common Stock or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 3.11 above, Endeavour will not be liable for any such fees or commissions. Such Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, that it will indemnify and hold harmless Endeavour from and against any and all claims, demands or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of Purchased Common Stock or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.08. Legend. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Common Stock initially will bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder and, in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such Act or the issuer has received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under such Act.”

Section 4.09. No Side Agreements. Except for the Registration Rights Agreement and any confidentiality agreements entered into by and between such Purchaser and Endeavour, there are no other agreements by, among or between Endeavour or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

Section 4.10. Short Selling. Such Purchaser represents that it has not, and none of its Subsidiaries have, entered into any Short Sales of the Common Stock between the time it first began discussions with Endeavour or the Placement Agent about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the date hereof (it being understood that the entering into a total return swap that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act should not be considered a Short Sale of Common Stock).

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS

Section 5.01. Taking of Necessary Action. From time to time after the date of this Agreement, without further consideration, Endeavour and each of the Purchasers shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

Section 5.02. Non-Disclosure; Interim Public Filings. Endeavour shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on or before the second Business Day following execution of this

Agreement, issue a press release disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding the material terms of the Basic Documents. Before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on or before the second Business Day following the date of this Agreement, Endeavour shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and including as exhibits to such 8-K Filing this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, Endeavour shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.03. Use of Proceeds. Endeavour shall use the collective proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Common Stock to finance a portion of its 2010 capital budget.

Section 5.04. Tax Information. Endeavour shall cooperate with the Purchasers and provide the Purchasers with any reasonably requested tax information related to their ownership of the Purchased Common Stock.

Section 5.05. Short Selling Acknowledgement and Agreement. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of securities “against the box” prior to the effective date of a registration statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will not and it will cause its Subsidiaries not to engage in any Short Sales that result in the disposition of the Common Stock acquired hereunder by the Purchaser until such time as the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is declared effective.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 6.01. Indemnification by Endeavour. Endeavour agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to (i) any actual or proposed use by Endeavour of the proceeds of any sale of the Purchased Common Stock or (ii) the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Endeavour contained herein.

Section 6.02. Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify Endeavour and its Representatives (collectively, “Endeavour Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings

(including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the covenants of such Purchaser contained herein; provided, however, that the liability of each Purchaser shall not be greater in amount than such Purchaser’s Commitment Amount.

Section 6.03. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Endeavour Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of or has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third party, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and/or the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or settlement within a reasonable time or failed to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of

the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, involves no admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

Section 7.03. No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.

(a) Delay.
