8. CERTAIN ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) Appropriate adjustments shall be made between Buyer and Seller so
that (i) all expenses (including, without limitation, all drilling costs, all
capital expenditures and all overhead charges under applicable operating
agreements) which are incurred in the operation of the Oil and Gas Properties
before the Effective Date will be borne by Seller and all proceeds (net of
applicable production, severance, and similar taxes) from sales of oil, gas
and/or other minerals which are produced from (or attributable to) the Oil and
Gas Properties before the Effective Date will be received by Seller, and (ii)
all expenses (including, without limitation, all drilling costs, all capital
expenditures and all overhead charges under applicable operating agreements)
which are incurred in the operation of the Oil and Gas Properties after the
Effective Date will be borne by Buyer and all proceeds (net of applicable
production, severance, and similar taxes) from the sale of oil, gas and/or
other minerals which were produced from (or attributable to) the Oil and Gas
Properties after the Effective Date will be received by Buyer. It is agreed
that, in making such adjustments: (A) oil which was produced from the Oil and
Gas Properties and which was, on the Effective Date, stored in tanks located on
the Oil and Gas Properties and above pipeline connections shall be deemed to
have been
-6-
7
produced before the Effective Date to the extent that written records indicate
such tanks were gauged on such date; otherwise oil shall be deemed to have been
produced prior to the Effective Date to the extent of the latest written record
of oil produced prior to the Effective Date, whether it be a prior tank
reading, run ticket or other record of physical measurement; (B) ad valorem and
similar taxes assessed with respect to a period which the Effective Date splits
shall be prorated based on the number of days in such period which fall on each
side of the Effective Date (with the day on which the Effective Date falls
being counted in the period after the Effective Date); and (C) no consideration
shall be given to the local, state or federal income tax liabilities of any
party.
(b) Three days prior to, and for the purposes of, the Closing, the
parties shall determine, based upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and payments received to that

foregoing, it is determined that an amount is owed to Buyer, Seller shall
tender to Buyer at Closing an amount equal to 100% of such amount less any
portion thereof that has been previously tendered to ING, New England and ELP
as payment on those certain promissory notes dated May 22, 1992, executed by
Seller in favor of ING, New England and ELP in an aggregate principal amount
equal to $12,000,000. If, based on the foregoing, it is determined that an
amount is owed to Seller, Buyer shall tender to Seller at Closing an amount
equal to 100% of such amount. On or before 90 days after Closing, Buyer and
Seller shall review any additional information which may then be available
pertaining to the adjustments provided for above, shall determine if any
additional adjustments (whether the same be made to account for expenses or
revenues not considered in making the adjustments made at Closing, or to
correct errors made in such adjustments) should be made beyond those made at
Closing, and shall make any such adjustments by appropriate payments from
Seller to Buyer or from Buyer to Seller. Following such final adjustment, no
further such adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. Buyer shall agree (and, upon the delivery to Buyer
of the documents and cash referenced in Section 7, shall be deemed to have
agreed), (a) to assume, and to timely pay and perform, all duties, obligations
and liabilities relating to (i) the Assumed Debt or (ii) the ownership and/or
operation of the Oil and Gas Properties, whether arising before, on or after
the Closing Date (including, without limitation, those arising under the
contracts and agreements related to the Oil and Gas Properties), and (b) to
indemnify and hold Seller, its affiliates, and its and their directors,
officers, employees, attorneys and agents harmless from and against any and all

Debt or (ii) the ownership and/or operation of the Oil and Gas Properties,
