Three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) of the first tranche of the above Warrants shall be delivered to First American Title in Anchorage, Alaska in the name of Sellers and Miller.  These Warrants shall be immediately released to the Sellers from the escrow account simultaneously upon the delivery to the Purchaser of the release of all claims from VAI, Inc. and its successors.  All warrants delivered to the Sellers shall carry standard proforma language essentially as follows:


a.

Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions.  In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof complete a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or complete to all its stockholders another distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision, the Conversion Price of this Warrant shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

3.

The Warrants shall be issued in accordance with the following schedule:  


a.

A first tranche of Warrants entitling the Sellers to purchase from Miller Petroleum, Inc., (“Miller”) at any time or from time to time during the period of the date of this agreement to four years from the date of this agreement, one million (1,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Miller's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to one cent ($0.01).

d.

If at any time, Purchaser shall receive a bona fide offer from any third-Person of all or a portion of the Membership Interests (including through the sale of Miller Petroleum itself), which offer Purchaser shall desire to accept, then Purchaser shall promptly provide Sellers with notice of such offer.  Within thirty (30) days thereof, each Seller may elect to receive the balance of the total Warrants due to them under this Agreement, regardless of date, or (b) choose to receive a cash payment equal to the number of unexercised and/or un-awarded warrants as of the Company’s stock price on the close of the business day immediately prior




to the completion of the sale.  This provision shall not apply with respect to transfers between Purchaser and any of its affiliates.

e.

Should any of the Sellers be declared deceased or otherwise become incapacitated, their estate shall have full entitlement to the award of warrants, which would have been due to that party in life.

f.

The stock certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issued to Sellers hereunder will bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENSE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT THAT IS THEN APPLICABLE TO THE SHARES, AS TO WHICH A PRIOR OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER OR TRANSFER AGENT MAY BE REQUIRED.”

To indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its bankers, professionals, lawyers, consultants and affiliates, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents and employees and each other person, if any, controlling the Puchaser, the banker or any of its affiliates to the full extent lawful, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by them (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) that result from actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any statements made or any statement omitted to be made) by the Puchaser, its agents or employees which relate to the scope of this Transaction and the performance of the services by the Purchaser hereunder.  

b)

The Sellers will also indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of Purchaser, its affiliates (Purchaser and each such entity or person, an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively "Liabilities") that result from this Transaction, and will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, "Expenses") as they are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation and whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party (collectively, "Actions"):

1.

caused by, or arising out of, or in connection with, any information or statement, or materials provided by the Sellers including any statements or alleged misstatement of a material fact in connection with this Transaction,

2.

otherwise arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement,

3.

otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,

4.

or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions with regard to this Transaction, the Sellers also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with enforcing such Indemnified Person's rights under this Agreement.  


c)

This indemnity by the Seller to the Purchaser also holds forth specifically against any potential claims brought by VAI, Inc., including any of its successors, affiliates, respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents and employees against CIE, the Purchaser or any of its successors, affiliates, respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents and employees.

d)

Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Sellers in writing; provided that failure so to notify the Sellers shall not relieve the Sellers from any liability which the Sellers may have on account of this indemnity or otherwise, except to the extent the Sellers shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.  

e)

The Sellers shall, if requested by Purchaser, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.  Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be




at the expense of such Indemnified Person, unless: (i) the Sellers have failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Sellers, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Sellers; provided that the Sellers shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel in connection with any Action in the same jurisdiction, in addition to any local counsel.

f)

The Sellers shall not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).  

g)

In addition, the Sellers will not, without prior written consent of Purchaser, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action.  

h)

In the event that the foregoing indemnity is judicially determined to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person (other than in accordance with the terms hereof), the Sellers shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) benefits to the Sellers and its shareholders, on the one hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted by the applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Sellers contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses pursuant to this Agreement.  

i)

The Sellers also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Sellers for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the Transaction contemplated hereby or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Sellers that are determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to appeal or further review to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services in connection with this Transaction.

j)

The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person's services under or in connection with, this Agreement.


16.

Further Documentation.  All parties hereto agree to execute such further documents or agreements as may be necessary or desirable to affect the purposes of this Agreement and to carry out its provisions.

17.

Breach.  In the event that either party defaults on or refuses to abide by any provision of this Agreement and the non-defaulting party is forced to resort to legal action against the defaulting party then the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for all attorney’s fees and costs reasonably incurred in curing the default or refusal.



18.

Other Items   If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  

19.

Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Tennessee and the exclusive jurisdiction of any legal actions relating to this transaction shall be in the courts of the State of Tennessee.
