In addition to the conveyance to the Trustee herein made, in the event of a default by Mortgagor (as described herein), Mortgagor shall transfer, assign, deliver and convey unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, all of the oil, gas and other minerals produced, saved or sold from the Mortgaged Property and attributable to the interest of Mortgagor therein, together with the proceeds of any sale thereof; and in such event, Mortgagor shall direct any purchaser taking any production from the Mortgaged Property to pay to Mortgagee such proceeds derived from the sale thereof, and to continue to make payments directly to Mortgagee until notified in writing by Mortgagee to discontinue the same; and the purchaser of any such production shall not be required to see to the application of the proceeds thereof by Mortgagee and payment made to Mortgagee shall be binding and conclusive as between such purchaser and to execute all such further assignments, transfer and division orders, and other instruments as may be required or desired by Mortgagee or any other party to have such proceeds and revenues so paid to Mortgagee.

B. Application of Proceeds. In the event that Mortgagee takes possession of all of the oil, gas and other minerals produced saved or sold from the Mortgaged Property in accordance with A. immediately above, Mortgagor authorizes and empowers Mortgagee to receive, hold and collect all sums of money paid to Mortgagee in accordance with the Contingent Assignment, and to apply the same as hereinafter provided, all without any liability or responsibility on the part of Mortgagee, save and except as to good faith and proper business practices in so receiving and applying such sums. All payments provided for in the Contingent Assignment shall be paid promptly to Mortgagee, and any provisions contained in any note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness or any part thereof to the contrary notwithstanding, Mortgagee may apply the same or so much thereof as it elects to the payment of the Indebtedness, application to be made in such manner as it may elect, regardless of whether the application so made shall exceed the payments of principal and interest then due as provided in the note or notes evidencing the Indebtedness. After such application has been so made by Mortgagee, the balance of any such payment or payments remaining shall be paid to Mortgagor.

C. No Postponement of Installments on Indebtedness. It is understood and agreed that should such payments provided for by the Contingent Assignment be less than the sum or sums then due on the Indebtedness, such sum or sums then due shall nevertheless be paid by Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions of the note, notes, guaranty agreements or other instrument or instruments evidencing the Indebtedness, and neither the Contingent Assignment nor any provisions and provisions of such note, notes, guaranty agreements or other instrument or instruments evidencing the Indebtedness. Likewise, neither the Contingent Assignment nor any provisions hereof shall in any manner be construed to affect the liens, rights, title and remedies herein granted securing the Indebtedness or Mortgagor's liability therefore. The rights under the Contingent Assignment are cumulative of all other rights, remedies, and powers granted under this Deed of Trust, and are cumulative of any other security which Mortgagee now holds or may hereafter hold to secure the payment of the Indebtedness.

D. Turnover to Mortgagee. Should Mortgagor receive any of the proceeds of any sale of oil, gas or other minerals produced, saved or sold from the Mortgaged Property, which under the terms of this Article VI. should have been remitted to Mortgagee, Mortgagor will immediately remit same in full to Mortgagee.

E. Release of Proceeds Upon Payment of Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of all Indebtedness, the remainder of such proceeds held by Mortgagee, if any, shall be paid over to Mortgagor upon demand, and a release of the interest hereby assigned will be made by Mortgagee to Mortgagor at its request and its expense.

F. Duty of Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall not be liable for any failure to collect, or for any failure to exercise diligence in collecting, any funds assigned hereunder. Mortgagee shall be accountable only for funds actually received.

ARTICLE VII.

ADDITIONAL REMEDIES

A. Mortgagee's Remedying of Mortgagor's Failure to Comply. If Mortgagor should fail to comply with any of the covenants or obligations of Mortgagor hereunder, then Mortgagee or the Trustee may perform the same for the account and at the expense of mortgagor but shall not be obligated so to do, and any and all expenses incurred or paid in so doing shall be payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, with interest at the greater of (i) the rate of 10% per annum or (ii) the rate agreed upon in any other document or instrument relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof from the date when same was so incurred or paid, and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by and under this time when paid shall be fully established by the affidavit of Mortgagee or any officer or agent thereof, or by the affidavit of any Trustee acting hereunder; provided, however, that the exercise considered or constitute a waiver of the right of Mortgagee upon the happening of an event of default hereunder to declare the Indebtedness at once due and payable but shall be cumulative of such right and all other rights herein given.

B. Entry and Operation. In case any one or more of the events of default shall happen, then in each and every such case the Trustee or Mortgagee or any holder of the Indebtedness or any part hereof, whether or not the Indebtedness shall have been declared due and payable, in addition to the other rights and remedies hereunder, may exercise the following additional remedy, but shall not be obligated so to do: the Trustee, Mortgagee or possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and may exclude Mortgagor, its agents and servants wholly there from and have, hold, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and produce the oil, gas and other minerals there from and market the same, all at the sole risk and expense of Mortgagor and at the expense of the Mortgaged Property, applying the net proceeds so derived, first, to the cost of maintenance and operation of such Mortgaged Property; second, to the payment of all Indebtedness secured hereby, principal and interest, application to be made first to interest and then to principal; and the balance thereof, if any, shall be paid to Mortgagor. Upon such payment of all such costs and Indebtedness, the Mortgaged Property shall be returned to Mortgagor in its then condition and such Trustee, Mortgagee or holder of the Indebtedness shall not be liable to Mortgagor for any damage or injury to the Mortgaged Property except such as may be caused through his, its or their fraud or willful misconduct.

C. Power of Attorney to Mortgagee. Mortgagor does hereby designate Mortgagee as Mortgagor's agent to act in the name, place and stead of Mortgagor in the exercise of each and every remedy set forth herein and in conducting any and all operations and taking any and all action reasonably necessary to do so, recognizing such agency in favor of Mortgagee to be coupled with the interests of Mortgagee under this Deed of Trust and, this, irrevocable.

ARTICLE VIII.

MISCELLANEOUS

A. Interest. Any provision in any document that may be executed in connection herewith to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of the Indebtedness shall in no event be entitle to receive or collect, nor shall any amounts received hereunder be credited so that the holder of the Indebtedness shall be paid as interest, a sum greater than that authorized by law. If any possible construction of this Deed of Trust or any instrument evidencing the Indebtedness, or any or all other notes, guaranties or papers relating to the Indebtedness, seems to indicate any possibility of a different power given to the holder of the Indebtedness, or any authority to ask for, demand, or receive any larger rate of interest, such as a mistake in calculation or wording, this clause shall override and control, and proper adjustments shall be made accordingly.

B. Agreement as Entirety. This Deed of Trust, for convenience only, has been divided into Articles and paragraphs, and it is understood that the rights, powers, privileges, duties and other legal relations of Mortgagor, the Trustee, and Mortgagee or any holder of the Indebtedness, shall be determined from this instrument as an entirety and without regard to the aforesaid division into Articles and paragraphs and without regard to headings prefixed to such Articles.

Words denoting sex shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine, and neuter when such construction is appropriate, and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general, but shall be construed as cumulative.

D. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Every right and remedy provided for herein shall be cumulative of each and every other right or remedy of Mortgagee, whether herein or otherwise conferred, and may be enforced concurrently therewith, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any one or more provisions, clauses, sentences or paragraphs of this instrument shall not render any other provision, clause, sentence or paragraph unenforceable or invalid. No security theretofore, herewith or subsequently taken by Mortgagee shall in any manner impair or affect the security given by this instrument or any security by endorsement or otherwise presently or previously given, and all security given by this instrument or any security by endorsement or otherwise presently or previously given, and all security shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative.

E. Parties in Interest. This Deed of Trust shall be binding upon the parties, their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the holder of the Indebtedness, and the covenants and agreements herein contained shall constitute covenants running with the Land.

F. Counterparts. This instrument is simultaneously executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which for all purposes shall be deemed an original and shall be deemed, and may be enforced from time to time, as a chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, assignment or contract, or as one or more thereof.

Ch. 35 (Vernon 1987) relating to the granting of a security interest by utilities, and may also be filed as provided in TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. Ch. 9 (Tex. UCC) (Vernon Supp. 1988) relating to the granting of security interests by nonutilities to assure that the security interests granted by this Deed of Trust are perfected under Texas law. In this connection, this instrument will be presented to a filing officer under the Uniform Commercial Code to be filed in the real estate records as a Financing Statement covering minerals and fixtures, pursuant to TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. §§9.402(e) and 9.402(f) (Tex UCC) (Vernon Supp. 1988). The filing of this Deed of Trust under the provisions of TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. Ch. 35 (Vernon 1987) shall not constitute an admission by Mortgagor that it is a utility for purposes of TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE ANN. Ch. 35 (Vernon 1987) or any other statute or rule or regulation of any governmental authority or agency.

I. Addresses. For purposes of filing this Deed of Trust as a financing statement, the addresses for Mortgagor, as the debtor, and Mortgagee, as the secured party, are as set forth hereinabove.

J. Recording Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this instrument may be executed in multiple counterparts. For recording purposes, various counterparts have been executed and there may be attached to each such counterpart an Exhibit “A” containing only the description of the Mortgaged Property, or portions thereof, which relates to the county or state in which the particular counterpart is to be recorded. A complete, original counterpart of this instrument with a complete Exhibit “A” may be obtained from Mortgagee. Each of the counterparts hereof so executed shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

K. No Waiver by Mortgagee. The failure or delay of Mortgagee to file or give any notice as to this instrument, or to exercise any right, remedy or option to declare the maturity of the principal debt, or any other sums hereby secured, or the payment by Mortgagee of any taxes, liens, charges or assessments, shall not be taken or deemed a waiver of any rights to exercise such right or option or to declare any such maturity as to any past or subsequent violations of any of such covenants or stipulations, and shall not waive or prejudice any right or lien hereunder. Any election or failure by Mortgagee to exercise any rights, remedies or options hereunder shall not constitute a waiver or prejudice the exercise of other rights or remedies existing hereunder. All rights, powers, immunities, remedies and liens or Mortgagee existing and to exist hereunder or under any other instruments, and all other or additional security, and Mortgagee's rights at law and in equity, shall be cumulative and not exclusive, each of the other; and Mortgagee shall in addition to the remedies herein expressly provided, be entitled to such other remedies as my now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for securing and collecting the Indebtedness, for enforcing the covenants herein, and for foreclosing the liens hereof. Resort by Mortgagee to any remedy provided for hereunder or at law or in equity shall not prevent concurrent or subsequent resort to the same or any other remedy or remedies.

L. Partial Releases. On even date herewith, Mortgagor, as buyer, and Mortgagee, as seller, entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) whereby the Leases and Lands (together with other property rights and interests) were sold and conveyed including properties and interests described in the PSA as the “Subject Properties” (and individually, as a “Subject Property”). Exhibit “B” to the PSA contains, among other provisions, specific allocation of values for each Subject Property. Any provision in this Deed of Trust to the contrary notwithstanding, should there exist no outstanding Event of Default at the time when Mortgagor makes any prepayment(s) (as provided by the terms of the herein-described promissory note), from time to time while the Deed of Trust is in force and effect Mortgagor may designate in writing to Mortgagee a Subject Property or Subject Properties to be released from the lien and security interest created hereby. Any prepayment made by Mortgagor shall be applied, in accordance with the terms of the promissory note, first to accrued and outstanding unpaid interest, and the remainder to payment of principal. In the event of any prepayment made by Mortgagor, in an amount or amounts which are in excess of all then-outstanding and accrued interest (an “Excess Principal Payment”), such Excess Principal Payment may be utilized by Mortgagor to secure the release of a Subject Property or Subject Properties, by applying an Excess Principal Payment toward the allocated value(s) of a Subject Property or Subject Properties. Any Subject Property whose allocated value has been paid by Mortgagor utilizing an Excess Principal Payment, shall be released from the lien and security interest created hereby. Mortgagor shall prepare any Partial Releases of a Subject Property or Subject Properties to be released in accordance with the terms of this paragraph L. and provide a copy of same to Mortgagee for its execution and delivery to Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall file for record any such Partial Release and pay the filing fees for recordation of any such Partial Release.
