STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 27, 2007, is entered into by and among (i) Prism Gas Systems I, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Purchaser”), (ii) Woodlawn Pipeline Company, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”) and (iii) Lantern Resources, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and David P. Deison (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Sellers are the owners of those shares of capital stock of the Company listed opposite their names on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto (collectively, the “Company Shares”);

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, all of the Company Shares, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A attached hereto.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and the respective representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Stock. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser will purchase from each Seller, and each Seller will severally sell to Purchaser, the Company Shares listed opposite each Seller’s name on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price; Escrow Amount.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Company Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall equal $30,200,000, (i) plus (or minus, to the extent a negative number) an amount equal to Working Capital as of the Effective Date, (ii) minus the Wells Fargo Payment Amount, and (iii) minus the Escrow Amount. The Purchase Price shall be divided among Sellers in proportion to the number of Company Shares sold to Purchaser by each of them as provided in Section 1.1 (subject to such adjustments as shall be made with the consent of each Seller affected thereby). The Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.2, shall be payable in cash at Closing in immediately available funds to the accounts specified in writing by the Sellers at least 48 hours prior to Closing.

(b) Purchaser shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., at closing an amount equal to all outstanding obligations owed by the Company to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Wells Fargo Payment Amount”). Such funds shall be wired to the account specified in writing by the Sellers at least 48 hours prior to Closing.

(c) $250,000 of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be placed in escrow pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Agreement shall provide that the funds shall relate to the remediation, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser, of all deficiencies in the plant and field compressor permits listed on Schedule 3.11. In the event that the cost of the remediation of such deficiencies is less than the Escrow Amount, upon completion of such remediation, the difference between the cost expended by the Purchaser to undertake such remediation, including all fees, fines and expenses of advisors and counsel, and the Escrow Amount shall be released to Sellers. The parties have agreed that the Sellers will continue to supervise the activities of the third party consultant, Crowther & Associates, Austin, Texas, retained by the Company to obtain the necessary plant and field compressor air quality permits listed in Schedule 3.11 from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; provided however, that Sellers must consult with and obtain the prior consent of Purchaser (which consent may not unreasonably be withheld) in connection with each step in the permit remediation process before the TCEQ. All expenses of remediation will be submitted by the Sellers to the Purchaser and paid under the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.3 Closing. The purchase and sale (the “Closing”) provided for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of the Purchaser at 10:00 a.m. C.D.T., on the date that is the later of, (i) May 2, 2007, or (ii) two (2) Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), or at such other time and place as the parties may agree in writing. The date and time on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. Upon consummation, the closing shall be deemed to be effective for financial and accounting purposes as of the close of business on the Effective Date.

Section 1.4 Pre-Closing Deliveries. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Working Capital as of the Effective Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), (ii) the Wells Fargo Payment Amount and (iii) the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), and a reasonably detailed computation of such estimates, including an estimated consolidated balance sheet for the Company as of the Effective Date, supporting schedules, including, without limitation, accounting reconciliations for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and other relevant information, in each case prepared in accordance with the Company’s historical method of accounting on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2006 balance sheet included in the Financial Statements in a manner agreed to by the parties that fairly presents the assets, liabilities and equity of the Company as of the Effective Date. Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct a timely review of such information and to provide good faith, reasonable objections to any such calculations not later than one (1) Business Day prior to

the Closing Date. Subject to resolution of any such good faith, reasonable objections, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be paid at Closing and shall be subject to further adjustment post-Closing as provided in Section 1.6.

Section 1.5 Closing Deliveries.

(a) At the Closing, Sellers or the Company will deliver to Purchaser:

(i) certificate(s) representing the Company Shares, which certificate(s) shall be duly endorsed in blank (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers);

(ii) a certificate of non-foreign status executed by each Seller in compliance with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2);

(iii) certificates, dated the Closing Date, executed by each Seller and the Company and certifying the matters set forth in Section 7.2(d);

(iv) duly executed copies of all consents and approvals required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the consents listed on Schedule 3.4;

(v) certified copies of resolutions of the general partner of Lantern Resources, L.P. authorizing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(vi) duly executed resignations of all officers and directors of the Company;

(vii) non-competition agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Non-Competition Agreements”) duly executed by each of Richard C. Coe, H. Douglas Coe, Jr., Barbara Anne Coe and W. Philip Coe;

(viii) the Amendments to the Star Compression Contracts pursuant to Section 6.5, duly executed by Star;

(ix) the Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 6.6, duly executed by Joe Baugh; and

(x) such other documents to be delivered by Sellers as may be required by this Agreement or reasonably requested by Purchaser.

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser will deliver to Sellers:

(i) the Purchase Price, as adjusted, in accordance with Section 1.2;

(ii) a certificate, dated the Closing Date, executed by Purchaser and certifying the matters set forth in Section 7.3(c);

(iii) certified copies of resolutions of the general partner of the Purchaser authorizing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv) the Non-Competition Agreements duly executed by the Purchaser;

(v) Amendments to the Star Agreements pursuant to Section 6.5, duly executed by the Purchaser;

(vi) the Letter of Credit; and

(vii) such other documents to be delivered by Purchaser as may be required by this Agreement or reasonably requested by Sellers.

Section 1.6 Adjustment of the Purchase Price.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but not later than 45 Business Days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers an actual balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Effective Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a certificate based on such Closing Balance Sheet setting forth the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Working Capital as of the Effective Date. The Closing Balance Sheet shall (x) fairly present the assets, liabilities and equity of the Company as of the Effective Date in accordance with the Company’s historical method of accounting applied on a basis consistent with those used in the preparation of the December 31, 2006 balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, and (y) include line items substantially consistent with those in such December 31, 2006 balance sheet; and (z) shall be prepared in the manner agreed to by the parties set forth in Schedule 1.6(a).

(b) If Sellers disagree with Purchaser’s calculation of the Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(a), Sellers may, within 10 Business Days after delivery of the documents referred to in Section 1.6(a), deliver a notice to Purchaser disagreeing with such calculation which specifies Sellers’ calculation of such amount and, in reasonable detail, Sellers’ grounds for such disagreement.

(c) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to this Section 1.6, Purchaser and Sellers shall, during the 15 Business Days following such delivery, use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Working Capital, which amount shall not be less than the amount thereof shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(a) nor more than the amount thereof shown in Sellers’ calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(b). If during such period, Purchaser and Sellers are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the audit group of a nationally recognized “Big 4” accounting firms, or another mutually acceptable accounting firm, that does not provide tax or audit services to Purchaser, the Company or any Seller (the “Accounting Referee”) promptly to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Working Capital. Each party shall set forth in writing its estimate of the Working Capital referred to the Accounting Referee for resolution and the Accounting Referee shall, as promptly

as practicable, be required to select the position of either one party or the other party with respect to the Working Capital and to communicate such selection to both parties. The costs of the Accounting Referee shall be borne entirely by the party which does not have its position selected by the Accounting Referee. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction.

(d) Purchaser and Sellers agree that they will, and cause their respective independent accountants to and the Company to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet, the calculation of the Working Capital and, if applicable, the reviews referred to in this Section 1.6, including making available, to the extent necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel of the Company.

(e) If the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Working Capital (as defined below), Sellers shall pay to Purchaser, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner and with the interest as provided in Section 1.6(f), the amount of such excess. If the Final Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, then Purchaser shall pay to Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 1.6(f), the amount of such excess. The “Final Working Capital” means the Working Capital as of the Effective Date (i) as shown in Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(a), if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and Sellers, or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined by the Accounting Referee pursuant to Section 1.6(c); provided that in no event shall the Final Working Capital be less than Purchaser’s calculation of the Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or more than Sellers’ calculation of the Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(b).

(f) Any payment pursuant to Section 1.6(e) shall be made within five days after the Final Working Capital has been determined (x) in the case of payments made by Purchaser, by delivery by Purchaser of immediately available funds, or (y) in the case of payments made by Sellers, by delivery from Sellers (pro rata from each Seller in accordance with the percentages of prior ownership of the stock of the Company) in immediately available funds. Payments made pursuant to Section 1.6(e) shall bear cash interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

Each Seller hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and its and their managers, directors, officers, members, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and after the Closing Date from and against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnitees for, any and all Losses, including without limitation any Losses arising out of the strict liability of any Person, paid, imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser

Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, resulting from, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to and with respect to any of, or any allegation by any third party of, the following:

(a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty on the part of Sellers or the Company under this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule); and

(b) any non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers or the Company under this Agreement that has not been expressly waived by the party seeking the indemnification in writing.

It shall not be necessary for Losses to be suffered as a result of or in connection with actions taken, made or threatened by any third party or Governmental Authority for such Losses to be indemnifiable under this Article IX.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Sellers (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and after the Closing Date from and against, and shall reimburse the Seller Indemnitees for, any and all Losses, including without limitation any Losses arising out of the strict liability of any Person, paid, imposed on or incurred by the Seller Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, resulting from, caused by, arising out of, or in any way relating to and with respect to any of, or any allegation by any third party of, the following:

(a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule); and

(b) any non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement that has not been expressly waived by the party seeking the indemnification in writing.

Section 9.3 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) If there occurs an event that either party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly provide notice (the “Notice of Claim”) to the other party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”). Providing the Notice of Claim shall be a condition precedent to any Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and the failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder but only if and to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnitee and it shall provide a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee of such election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying

Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee reasonably believes that counsel for the Indemnifying Party cannot represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party because such representation would be reasonably likely to result in a conflict of interest, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, at the sole reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such action by all appropriate proceedings. The Indemnitee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any such asserted liability. In any event, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such asserted liability. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the written consent of each Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release of the Indemnitee from all Liability in respect to such claim or litigation or that does not solely require the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Party agrees to afford the Indemnitee and its counsel, at the Indemnitee’s sole expense, the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all Persons, including any Governmental Authority, asserting any Claim against the Indemnitee or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such Persons. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, settle any Claim on terms that provide for (i) a criminal sanction against the Indemnitee or (ii) injunctive relief affecting the Indemnitee.

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have twenty calendar days (or such shorter period as may be appropriate under the circumstances) to contest its indemnification obligation with respect to such claim, or the amount thereof, by written notice to the Indemnitee (the “Contest Notice”); provided, however, that if, at the time a Notice of Claim is submitted to the Indemnifying Party the amount of the Loss in respect thereof has not yet been determined, such twenty day period in respect of, but only in respect of the amount of the Loss, shall not commence until a further written notice (the “Notice of Liability”) has been sent or delivered by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party setting forth the amount of the Loss incurred by the Indemnitee that was the subject of the earlier Notice of Claim. Such Contest Notice shall specify the reasons or bases for the objection of the Indemnifying Party to the claim, and if the objection relates to the amount of the Loss asserted, the amount, if any, that the Indemnifying Party believes is due the Indemnitee, and any undisputed amount shall be promptly paid over to the Indemnitee. If no such Contest Notice is given within such twenty day period, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to pay the Indemnitee the amount of the Loss set forth in the Notice of Claim, or subsequent Notice of Liability, shall be deemed established and accepted by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim or, having assumed the defense and settlement of such Claim, fails reasonably to contest such Claim in good faith, the Indemnitee, without waiving its right to indemnification, may assume, at the reasonable cost of the Indemnifying Party, the defense and settlement of such Claim; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to

join in the defense and settlement of such Claim and to employ counsel at its own expense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in the defense and settlement of such Claim in any manner reasonably requested by the Indemnitee and (iii) the Indemnitee shall not settle such Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall make any payment required to be made under this Article in cash and on demand. Any payments required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party under this Article that are not paid within five (5) Business Days of the date on which such obligation becomes final shall thereafter be deemed delinquent, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnitee, immediately upon demand, interest at the rate of ten percent per annum, not to exceed the maximum nonusurious rate allowed by Applicable Law, from the date such payment becomes delinquent to the date of payment of such delinquent sums, which interest shall be considered to be Losses of the Indemnitee.

Section 9.4 Survival.

(a) The liability of each Seller for his or her indemnification obligations arising under Section 9.1(a) of this Agreement shall be limited to claims for which a Purchaser Indemnitee delivers written notice to such Seller or to the Sellers, which shall constitute written notice to all Sellers, on or before the second anniversary date of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any indemnification obligation resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in (x) Sections 3.15, 3.17 and 3.18 shall survive until the applicable statute of limitations period has run with respect to such claims and (y) Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.16 and 3.24, as well as any claims under Section 9.1(b) shall not be limited.

(b) The liability of Purchaser for Purchaser’s indemnification obligations arising out of Section 9.2 shall be limited to claims for which a Seller Indemnitee delivers written notice to Purchaser on or before the third anniversary date of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any indemnification obligation relating to (i) Section 9.2(a) and resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.7 or (ii) Section 9.2(b) shall not be limited.

Section 9.5 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum indemnification liability of Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other, shall not exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate, provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any indemnification obligation resulting from a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.15, 3.17, 3.18 or 3.24 (ii) or Section 9.1(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum indemnification liability of Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other, shall not exceed the Purchase Price in the aggregate. No claim may be made by the Purchaser Indemnities for indemnification under Section 9.1 hereof until such Purchaser Indemnities have incurred aggregate Losses in excess of the Basket Threshold Amount in the aggregate, at which time all amounts (including the Basket Threshold Amount) may be recovered as provided in this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Inconsistent Provisions. The provisions of this Article shall govern and control over any inconsistent provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. The right to indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement. If at any time prior to Closing, any of the parties hereto has knowledge of any facts, circumstances or situations which constitute a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, such party shall give the other party prompt notice thereof.

Section 9.8 Express Negligence. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE ARE INTENDED TO BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THE PARTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPRESS TERMS AND SCOPE THEREOF, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE RULE OR ANY SIMILAR DIRECTIVE THAT WOULD PROHIBIT OR OTHERWISE LIMIT INDEMNITIES BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ARISING UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNITIES SET FORTH HEREIN MAY RESULT IN THE INDEMNITY OF A PARTY FOR ITS SIMPLE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OR OTHER FAULT OR STRICT LIABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY.
