      Denbury Onshore, LLC., a subsidiary of Denbury Resources, Inc. (NYSE symbol:
      DNR, hereinafter referred to as &#8220;Denbury&#8221;) on May&#160;8, 2006 to conduct an

      Delhi Field in northeast Louisiana (the &#8220;Delhi Unit&#8221;). On June 12, 2006, NGS
      received $50 million and delivered to Denbury an initial 100% working interest

      the
      Delhi Unit, except as described below). Under the terms of the Sale Agreement,
      Denbury has agreed to contribute all development capital, technical expertise
      and required amounts of proven reserves of carbon dioxide that will be injected
      into the Delhi Unit oil reservoirs. After the project generates $200 million
      of
      net cash flows before capital expenditures for Denbury, NGS will regain a 25%
      working interest (20% net revenue interest) in the Delhi Unit. </font></div>

      to
      the portion of the Assets affected by such Title Defect will be deferred (the
      &#8220;Closing Deferred Property&#8221;). Closing with respect to all other Assets will
      proceed as provided in this Agreement, but the Base Purchase Price delivered
      to
      Seller at such initial Closing shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of all
      Closing Deferred Properties. If Seller cures any Title Defect within the Cure
      Period, then the Closing with respect to the Closing Deferred Property for
      which
      such Title Defect has been cured will proceed and will be finalized within
      seven
      (7) days following the end of the Cure Period. If Seller fails or refuses to
      cure any Title Defect prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, Seller shall
      notify Buyer in writing of such failure or refusal promptly upon the expiration
      of the Cure Period. In this event, Buyer shall have the right to elect by
      written notice to Seller, which notice shall be delivered within seven (7)
      days
      after receipt by Buyer of Notice from Seller of such failure or refusal to
      cure
      any such Title Defect, to waive all of the Title Defects applicable to any
      Closing Deferred Property (which waived Title Defects shall be deemed Permitted
      Encumbrances) and proceed to Closing on such Closing Deferred Property. If
      Buyer
      does not elect to waive an existing Title Defect, Seller shall retain the
      Closing Deferred Property and the Parties shall have no further obligation
      with
      respect thereto. In the event that any such property is retained by Seller
      and
      such property has been receiving revenue, without complaint, for a period in
      excess of two (2) years, then Buyer agrees (i) not to take any action to
      interfere with such revenue stream, and (ii) to the extent that Buyer becomes
      payor of such revenue, to pay Seller such revenue upon receipt of an indemnity
      agreement from Seller.</font></div>
