(z) Public Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act Status . The Company is not a “holding company” or a “public utility company” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(aa) ERISA . No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities will not involve any transaction which is

subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that, if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial interest in any of the Purchasers, is an “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to which the Company is a “party in interest” (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA), the requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are met. As used in this Section 2.1(aa), the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.

(bb) Anti-takeover Device . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any outstanding shareholder rights plan or “poison pill” or any similar arrangement. There are no provisions of any anti-takeover or business combination statute applicable to the Company, the Articles and the Bylaws which would preclude the issuance and sale of the Securities, the reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(cc) Independent Nature of Purchasers . The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert

or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(dd) No Integrated Offering . Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and since February 1, 2005, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock except as disclosed in this Agreement.

(ee) Sarbanes-Oxley Act . The Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “ Sarbanes-Oxley Act ”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

(ff) Dilutive Effect . The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and its obligations to issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interest of other stockholders of the Company.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers . Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser as follows as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchasers . If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

(b) Authorization and Power . Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as

the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c) No Conflict . The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Acquisition for Investment . Each Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided , however , that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser's investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.

(e) Rule 144 . Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (" Rule 144 "), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either

registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

(f) General . Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities. Commencing on the date that the Purchasers were initially contacted regarding an investment in the Securities, none of the Purchasers has engaged in any short sale of the Common Stock and will not engage in any short sale of the Common Stock prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) No General Solicitation . Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications. Each Purchaser, in making the decision to purchase the Securities, has relied upon independent investigation made by it and has not relied on any information or representations made by third parties.

(h) Accredited Investor . Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

(i) Certain Fees . The Purchasers have not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders' structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(j) Independent Investment . No Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.

(k) Short Sales and Confidentiality . Each Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales (as defined below) during the period after the date that such Purchaser first received a term sheet from the Company or any other person or entity setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date that the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 3.10. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 3.10, such Purchaser will maintain, the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). 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 shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the Effective Date is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will (i) comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, (ii) comply with all prospectus delivery requirements and (iii) will not knowingly violate Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (a) each Purchaser may engage in hedging activities at various times while the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during any amortization pricing periods under the Notes in which the value of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes is being determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. For purposes hereof, “ Short Sales ” shall include all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act.

So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

Section 3.10 Disclosure of Transaction . The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “ Press Release ”) on the day of the Closing but in no event later than one hour after the Closing; provided , however , that if Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “ Form 8-K ”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the form of Note, the Registration Rights Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment by one counsel to the Purchasers. " Trading Day " means any day during which the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded shall be open for trading.

Section 3.11 Disclosure of Material Information . The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

Section 3.12 Pledge of Securities . The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of the Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

Section 3.13 Amendments . The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect exercise rights, voting rights, conversion rights, prepayment rights or redemption rights of the holder of the Notes.

Section 3.14 Distributions . So long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.

Section 3.15 Reservation of Shares . So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

Section 3.16 Transfer Agent Instructions . The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “ Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions ”). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.16 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares

and Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.16 shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.16, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Section 3.17 Disposition of Assets . So long as the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for sales of obsolete assets and sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 3.18 Form SB-2 Eligibility . The Company currently meets, and will take all necessary action to continue to meet, the "registrant eligibility" and transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form SB-2 applicable to "resale" registrations on Form SB-2 during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission in a timely manner so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form SB-2.

Section 3.19

Subsequent Financings .

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a " Rights Notice ") the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a “ Subsequent Financing ”), of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including convertible debt securities (collectively, the " Financing Securities "). The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail,

the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of all investors participating in the Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the “ Rights Option ”) during the ten (10) Trading Days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the “ Option Period ”) to inform the Company whether such Purchaser will purchase up to its pro rata portion of the securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing. If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in the aggregate does not exceed the total Purchase Price hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to “pro rata” means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Notes purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total principal amount of all of the Notes purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.19(a), including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice.

CERTIFICATE LEGEND

Section 5.1 Legend Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR EDEN ENERGY CORP. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

The Company agrees to issue or reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected, or (iii) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (" DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (" DWAC ") system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 General Indemnity . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by

the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure . Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of

a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VII

No. CN-05-____

$__________

Dated: August 25, 2005

For value received, EDEN ENERGY CORP., a Nevada corporation (the " Maker "), hereby promises to pay to the order of __________________________ (together with its successors, representatives, and permitted assigns, the " Holder "), in accordance with the terms hereinafter provided, the principal amount of _____________________ ($__________), with interest thereon. Concurrently with the issuance of this Note, the Maker is issuing separate convertible promissory notes (the “ Other Notes ”) to separate purchasers (the “ Other Holders ”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined in Section 1.1 hereof).

All payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made in United States Dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder first set forth above or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder's account, instructions for which are attached hereto as Exhibit A . The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on August 25, 2008 (the " Maturity Date ") or at such earlier time as provided herein.

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1 Purchase Agreement . This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2005 (the " Purchase Agreement ”) by and among the Maker and the purchasers listed therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Section 1.2

Interest .

(a) Beginning on the issuance date of this Note (the “ Issuance Date ”), the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal

to six percent (6%) payable semi-annually on December 1 ^st and June 1 ^st of each year commencing December 1, 2005 at the option of the Maker in cash or registered shares of the Maker’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “ Common Stock ”). The shares of Common Stock to be issued as interest payments under this Note shall be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 3.1(b) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as payment of accrued and unpaid interest shall be determined by dividing (a) the total amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be converted into Common Stock by (b) the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof) and (ii) the average of the VWAP (as defined in Section 1.2(b) below) for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the interest payment date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall accrue commencing on the Issuance Date. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof), then to the extent permitted by law, the Maker will pay interest to the Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum.

(b) For purposes hereof, “ VWAP ” means, for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board (or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading) as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time); (ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading) and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.

Section 1.3 Payment on Non-Business Days . Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may be due on the next succeeding business day and such next succeeding day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued interest payable on such date.

Section 1.4 Transfer . This Note may be transferred or sold, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 of this Note, or pledged, hypothecated or otherwise granted as security by the Holder.

Section 1.5 Replacement . Upon receipt of a duly executed, notarized and unsecured written statement from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof), and without requiring an indemnity bond or other security, or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
