ARTICLE II
THE LOANS

Section 2.1 The Loans.

(a) The Initial Loan. Borrower desires to borrow funds to be reimbursed for certain expenses (including accounting, legal and other similar fees) or obtain advances to pay certain expenses (i) actually incurred by Borrower in connection with preparation, execution, due diligence and the closing of the PSA and relating to land and title work, and environmental assessment and review in connection with the Properties, (ii) actually incurred by Borrower and by Lender under Section 7.1(z), and the initial Administration Fee payable under Section 7.1(gg), and (iii) relating to filing fees which may be required to properly file any and all Security Documents (collectively, the "Closing Costs"). Borrower also desires to borrow funds to fund the Purchase Price, as defined in the PSA (the "Purchase Price"). In addition to the Closing Costs and the Purchase Price, Borrower has agreed to pay Lender an initial Facility Fee pursuant to Section 7.1(bb) and Lender has agreed to advance the Committed Development Loan (defined below). The aggregate amount of the advances for the payment of the Closing Costs in the amount of $175,000, the Purchase Price in an amount of $8,000,000, the Facility Fee in an amount of $191,000 plus the $5000 Administrative Fee, the Committed Development Loan in an amount of $1,300,000 and an advance of $70,000 to be maintained in reserve to satisfy the current ratio requirement set forth in Section 7.2(t)(i); shall be in the aggregate amount of $9,741,000 (collectively, the "Initial Loan"). Subject to the terms and conditions hereunder, Lender agrees to advance the Initial Loan to Borrower and agrees to wire transfer the amount of the Initial Loan, less the initial Facility Fee, to the designated payees noted in the Wire Transfer Instructions on the Closing Date. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to transfer the initial Facility Fee to Lender's account and the initial Facility Fee shall be deemed advanced by Lender to Borrower and paid by Borrower to Lender contemporaneously with Closing.

     (b) Development Loans.
          (i) Prior to the Drawdown Termination Date, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make additional advances to Borrower of the Development Loan(s) up to an aggregate of $20,259,000 (less the aggregate amount of Facility Fees) to be used exclusively for certain Development Operations. Any Request for Commitment for a Development Loan in relation to one or more Development Operations shall be for a minimum of $1,000,000 and will be subject to Lender's approval in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Request for Commitment shall also include (1) the applicable request for an advance of the additional Facility Fee payable pursuant to Section 7.1(bb), (2) a variance allowance not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the estimated expenses set forth in the Request for Commitment (such allowance will be available only to the extent the actual costs of any Development Operation exceeds 100% of the estimated costs) and (3) the AFE(s) applicable to such Development Operation(s) and other supporting materials sufficient for Lender to assess whether it will grant approval thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower is hereby deemed to have provided the requisite Request for Commitment to Lender for $1,300,000 of the Development Loans (the "Committed Development Loan") for certain of Development Operations as more particularly described on Schedule 2.1(b)(i) plus the applicable Facility Fee. Lender is hereby deemed to have committed to make such Committed Development Loan on the Closing Date, subject, however, to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth herein. The Development Operations described on Schedule 2.1(b)(i) that are ultimately conducted with proceeds of the Committed Development Loan shall be subject to mutual agreement between Lender and Borrower.

          (ii) Within ten (10) days after the receipt from Borrower prior to the Drawdown Termination Date of a Request for Commitment listing all applicable expenditures that Borrower desires to make to conduct a Development Operation, Lender shall notify Borrower in writing whether in its sole and absolute discretion Lender will make an advance equal to the total estimated expenditures shown on such Request for Commitment. If Lender does not agree to make an advance as requested in any such Request for Commitment covering any Development Operation, Borrower's participation in the proposed Development Operation identified in its Request for Commitment may not result in an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. If Lender agrees to make any such advance for a Development Operation, then Lender shall advance the funds necessary to pay Borrower's share of the costs and expenses attributable to such proposed operations (not to exceed the amount requested in the Request for Commitment, including the 10% variance). Any advances to be made by Lender under this Section 2.1(b), if at all, shall be made on the date specified on the applicable Request for Commitment. Within ten (10) Business Days after completion of any funded Development Operation(s), Borrower shall provide Lender a completed cost certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "E" (the "Cost Certificate"), duly executed by an authorized Member of Borrower, certifying the amount of costs and expenses that were incurred and paid by Borrower. To the

extent any Development Loan proceeds remain unused by Borrower subsequent to the completed Development Operations for which they were advanced, Borrower may use such unused funds only for other Development Operations approved by Lender.
          (iii) Any Request for Commitment shall be made by Borrower for business opportunities, projects, and/or uses that are described as Development Operations subject, without limitation, to the following:
     (1) All statements of costs and estimates provided to Lender shall be rendered in sufficient detail to give Lender complete and accurate information as to the purpose for and amount of all items included therein, and Lender shall be entitled to such additional information regarding such expenditures as Lender may reasonably request. All such data shall be subject to audit by Lender's representatives at any time mutually agreeable to the parties.

     (2) Borrower agrees that, subject to any other conditions expressly set forth in this Agreement, with respect to any Development Operation consisting of a new-well drill or any other operation requiring Borrower to expend more than $70,000, Lender's funding of such operation is further subject to the requirement that prior to or contemporaneously with the submission of a Request for Commitment covering each such operation Borrower shall submit to Lender a then-current Title Opinion relating to the Leases covering the lands relating to such operations, unless a current Title Opinion covering such lands has already been provided hereunder following Closing, which confirms that Borrower owns Defensible Title thereto subject only to a first priority lien under the Deed of Trust in favor of Lender and Permitted Encumbrances. If such Development Operation relates to the acquisition of one or more leases, however, Borrower shall only be required to deliver title materials satisfactory to Lender covering the lands covered by such lease or leases.

     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Lender be obligated to make any Development Loans, including the Committed Development Loan, pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) in excess of an aggregate amount of $20,259,000 (less the aggregate amount of Facility Fees) for all combined Development Operations approved by Lender.
     (4) No Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Loan shall be advanced following the Drawdown Termination Date.

(c) Promissory Note. The Loans described in Section 2.1 and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") issued by Borrower to Lender in the face amount of $30,000,000, in the form of

Exhibit "B," appropriately completed. The final maturity date of such Note shall be the Loan Termination Date and all amounts evidenced by the Note shall be secured by the Security Documents.

Section 2.2 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate and shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof.
     (b) If any amount payable by Borrower (other than interest) under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Furthermore, while any Event of Default exists (either before or after acceleration), Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Repayment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, including the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time to time. Interest which has accrued and is not paid when due shall be added to and become part of the principal under the Note; provided, however, the capitalization of such accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this sentence will not preclude Lender from declaring or maintaining an Event of Default based on Borrowers' failure to pay such amount to the extent Lender has such right under any other provision of this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents.
     (d) All computations of interest and all fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on the day on which the Loan is made, but shall not accrue on the day on which the Loan or such portion thereof is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
     (e) To the extent the percent of Net Revenue swept and applied by Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(b) below to pay Debt Service and other Obligations for a particular Interest Period is insufficient to pay the Debt Service and other Obligations due for that Interest Period (including any such amounts remaining unpaid from any prior Interest Period), the percent of Net Revenue swept and applied by Lender shall automatically be increased to a percentage (up to 100% if necessary) necessary to sweep a sufficient portion of the Net Revenue to pay (i) all Debt Service and other Obligations due for that Interest Period plus (ii) all Debt Service and other Obligations remaining unpaid from any prior Interest Period. To the extent all payments for such previously

unpaid Debt Service and other Obligations are satisfied, the percent of Net Revenue swept shall be reduced to eighty-five percent (85%).

Section 2.3 Repayment of the Loans. Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans evidenced by the Note plus all interest accrued thereon by the Loan Termination Date.

Section 2.4 Prepayment of the Loans.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time after the Closing Date; provided that Borrower shall provide Lender at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice thereof, except in connection with Section 2.4(b).
(b) Mandatory Prepayment. Except as expressly provided otherwise in Sections 2.6 and 6.7, Borrower shall deliver to Lender to apply one hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds against the Note of any disposition of Collateral the Business Day following Borrower's receipt of such proceeds. Any insurance proceeds or the net proceeds from the issuance of any equity of Borrower shall be used by Borrower to promptly acquire new or replacement assets which are contemporaneously subjected to a first priority Lien in favor of Lender and otherwise on terms satisfactory to Lender. In furtherance thereof, Borrower agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lender a Deed of Trust and any other Security Documents described in Section 6.1 to grant Lender a first priority lien in such Property, and further agrees to promptly execute and deliver an Overriding Royalty Interest Conveyance as required under Section 8.4.
(c) Prepayments Generally. Any principal prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment.

Section 2.5 Commencement of ORRI Payments. The ORRI will be applicable with respect to all Hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to the Properties from and after the Closing Date, as more particularly described in the Overriding Royalty Interest Conveyance.

Section 2.6 Application of Receipts. Net Revenue shall be calculated by Lender based on the Property Operating Statement. Borrower shall prepare and deliver the Property Operating Statement to Lender once per month, as soon as practical and in any event no later than the last Business Day of each month. Such Property Operating Statement shall detail Borrower's Gross Receipts and Expenses with respect to the current month the Property Operating Statement is due and for any other such amounts relating to any preceding months that were not previously accounted for in a Property Operating Statement. The first Property Operating Statement shall be delivered no later than May 31, 2006; provided, however, that this first Property Operating Statement shall cover the period from Closing through and including May 31, 2006. On the Repayment Date at the end of each Interest Period, Gross Receipts for such Interest Period shall be applied as follows:

(a) First, to the amount necessary to pay the Expenses.

     (b) Second, eighty-five percent (85.0%) of the Net Revenue to Lender for payment of amounts which are included within Debt Service and other Obligations to Lender for such Interest Period; provided that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (and to the extent required by Section 2.2(e) above), the percentage of the Net Revenue to be applied for Debt Service and other Obligations to Lender shall be increased to one hundred percent (100%) or such other amount specified in Section 2.2(e) above. The amount paid to Lender pursuant to this subpart (b) shall be applied first to any interest due on the Note, until all accrued interest is paid in full, and any remaining amounts paid pursuant to this subpart (b) shall be applied to remaining outstanding principal under the Note.
     (c) Third, $5,000 to Lender as the Administration Fee (other than the initial Administration Fee) to the extent such fee accrues in the current month the Property Operating Statement is due.
     (d) Fourth, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining amounts shall be paid to Borrower by remitting such sums to the Borrower Operating Account in accordance with Section 2.7(b).
Section 2.7 Borrower Sub-Account.
     (a) Until all of Borrower's Obligations have been fully satisfied, Borrower shall direct and cause all Purchasers of Hydrocarbons, the Operator, all account debtors of Borrower, and any other customers of Borrower to deposit all payments of any nature whatsoever due and owing by such Persons to Borrower directly into an account maintained by Lender (the "Lender Account"); provided, however, that Purchasers of Hydrocarbons may make distributions to royalty interest owners and third-party working interest owners and may withhold Severance Taxes. Lender shall establish a sub-account (the "Borrower Sub-Account") on its internal books and records and shall credit to such Borrower Sub-Account all collected funds which constitute payments referred to in the preceding sentence. Borrower authorizes Lender to debit the Borrower Sub-Account for the payment of all Obligations hereunder when due and payable.
     (b) As soon as practical after the Borrower delivers to the Lender its monthly Property Operating Statement, provided that no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and after satisfying all distributions to Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Lender will release to Borrower the funds credited to the Borrower Sub-Account, by remitting such amounts to the Borrower Operating Account, in order to pay (i) the Expenses which have been incurred and are due and payable and which are referenced in the most recent Property Operating Statement delivered to Lender and (ii) the amount payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(d) (the "Net Revenue Reimbursement Amount"). Borrower will have one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of such funds to contest the amounts of funds released, after which time the amounts released will be deemed conclusively correct absent manifest error, provided Borrower may not contest any such amounts released for any reason after two hundred seventy (270) days after the receipt of such funds or ninety (90) days after the Loan Termination Date. Borrower shall be permitted, with prior reasonable notice and during

Lender's normal business hours, to review at Lender's offices any documents in which specific references to and the calculation of the Net Revenue Reimbursement Amount distributed during the ninety (90) day period preceding such review are made. If Borrower desires to contest any such amount it shall do so by providing Lender written notice with a report analyzing its basis regarding any error. If Lender agrees with such analysis, Lender will endeavor to disburse any such amounts to Borrower within fifteen (15) days thereafter.

Any amounts deposited into the Lender Account owing to third-party working interest, overriding royalty interest and royalty interest holders whose interests in the Properties were created prior to the time such Properties became subject to any of the Security Documents or to taxing authorities for production taxes shall be released by Lender to Borrower within two (2) Business Days after receipt of a certificate from Borrower detailing such amounts and the party to be paid so that Borrower may return such amounts to such third-party working interest, overriding royalty interest and royalty interest holders and taxing authorities. Lender shall have the right to undertake audit procedures during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to periodically confirm that such payments have been made by Borrower. Lender shall have the right at its option, but not the obligation, to make such payments directly to the third-party working interest, overriding royalty interest and royalty interest holders and taxing authorities upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default hereunder. Except as provided in this paragraph, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any funds in the Borrower Sub-Account may be applied, at Lender's option, against all unpaid Obligations.

Section 2.8 Use of Proceeds. Initial Loan proceeds may be used by Borrower for the purposes described in Section 2.1(a). Committed Development Loan proceeds may be used by Borrower for the purposes described in Section 2.1(b)(i). Development Loan proceeds may be used by Borrower for the purposes of funding Borrower's share of costs and expenses relating to the conduct of the Development Operations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and approved by Lender in writing. In no event shall funds from the Loans be used by Borrower, directly or indirectly, for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes, or any other purpose not specifically described in this Section 2.8.

Section 2.9 Initial Swap Agreement. Contemporaneous with Closing (but no later than one day following Closing), Borrower shall enter into a Permitted Swap Agreement consisting of one or more hedge transactions that in the aggregate subject, at a minimum, 1500 barrels of crude oil production per month for the period commencing on May 1, 2006, through and including April 30, 2008.

If Borrower shall be required by any applicable laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount of principal and interest it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable laws, and (iv) within thirty days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

Section 3.2 Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate. If Lender determines in connection with any request for a Loan or continuation thereof for any reason that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate, Lender will promptly so notify Borrower if Lender reasonably determines that such event or events have any impact on the application of the Interest Rate. In such event, Lender shall use, as the LIBOR Rate, the average LIBOR Rate for the two immediately preceding months (for one-month terms) until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

ARTICLE IV

In addition to the initial Permitted Swap Agreement described in Section 2.9, Borrower will from time to time, upon thirty (30) days' notice by Lender, enter into one or more Hydrocarbon price swaps pursuant to a Permitted Swap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such that up to but not more than ninety percent (90%) of the volume of Borrower's Net Revenue Interest share of the Proved Developed Producing Reserves scheduled to be produced during the term of this Agreement, but not beyond the Loan Termination Date (based upon the most recent Reserve Report) are dedicated to the Permitted Swap Agreements or such other price risk management program as approved by Lender; provided, however, if projected Net Revenue is insufficient to fully amortize the Loans by their stated maturity, as more particularly described in Section 10.1(b), Lender may require that Borrower enter into one or more such swaps for a term or terms that extend beyond the Loan Termination Date. Borrower and Lender shall endeavor to agree upon a swap strategy that will most accurately reflect the make-up and pricing of the Hydrocarbons produced and sold by Borrower, but if the parties are unable to agree on the swap strategy, Borrower shall not be released from its obligation to implement the Permitted Swap Agreement(s) required by this Section 7.1(x).
     (y) Post-Closing Title Opinions. Borrower will deliver to Lender, within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Title Opinions covering Leases comprising 85% of the PW10 of Borrower's Proved Developed Producing Reserves in the Properties and 85% of the PW10 of Borrower's other Proved Reserves in the Properties as of Closing showing Defensible Title to the Properties in Borrower subject only to: (i) a first priority

lien created by the Deed of Trust in favor of Lender, (ii) the ORRI, and (iii) the Permitted Encumbrances, and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.
     (z) Legal Fees; etc. Borrower will pay, on or before the Closing Date, all reasonable third-party and out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all title, due diligence, environmental, engineering, technical, travel, legal and related expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder (to be financed by Lender as a portion of the Initial Loan) and, thereafter, reimburse Lender for all such expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any subsequent amendment, mortgage, extension, release or renewal of any Loan Document or the legal expenses attributable to the enforcement of the same or continuing or additional due diligence.
     (aa) Environmental Compliance. Within sixty (60) days of Closing, Borrower shall remedy all matters set forth in the Environmental Report and any environmental compliance issues listed on Schedule 4.1(s) so as to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
     (bb) Facility Fee. The Facility Fee in relation to the Initial Fee shall be earned and payable by Borrower to Lender out of the Initial Loan advances evidenced by the Note. A Loan in the amount of the Facility Fee will be deemed to have been advanced by Lender to Borrower on the Closing Date, with such Facility Fee having been deemed contemporaneously paid by Borrower to Lender. Each time Lender advances a Loan (other than the Initial Loan), a Loan in the amount of an additional Facility Fee will be earned and Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Lender advance to Borrower such additional Facility Fee on such date, with such additional Facility Fee having been contemporaneously paid by Borrower to Lender.

Borrower's intent, willingness and ability to conduct each of the Development Operations and the actual implementation of such Development Operations is a material inducement to Lender's entry into this Agreement, in the absence of which Lender would not have done so. Time is of the essence in the proposal and conduct by Borrower of each of the Development Operations approved by Lender.

     (dd) Protection Against Drainage. Until the Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed, (i) to the extent that Properties are operated by Borrower, Borrower shall act as a prudent operator in an effort to identify and prevent the occurrence of any drainage of Hydrocarbons from the Properties and (ii) to the extent that Properties are not operated by Borrower, Borrower shall utilize its property and contractual rights as a prudent owner in an effort to identify and prevent the occurrence of any drainage of Hydrocarbons from the Properties.

     (gg) Administration Fee. At Closing, and on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, Borrower shall pay to Lender an administration fee in the amount of $5,000 ("Administration Fee"). The initial Administration Fee shall be deemed advanced by Lender to Borrower on the Closing Date as part of the Initial Loan and paid by Borrower to Lender contemporaneously therewith, and each subsequent Administration Fee shall be paid by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 2.6.
     (hh) Further Assurances. Borrower agrees, upon request of Lender and at Borrower's expense, to furnish to Lender such information, to execute and deliver to Lender such documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as Lender may reasonably request.

The powers granted herein, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable. Neither Lender nor the agent and attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act or omission, error in judgment or mistake of law so long as the same is not malicious or grossly negligent. Upon payment and performance of all Obligations of Borrower to Lender, such power of attorney will become null and void.

Borrower's premises at any time; and (ii) until it completes the enforcement of its rights in the Equipment or other Collateral subject to its Lien and the sale or other disposition of any property subject thereto, take possession of such premises without charge, rent or payment therefor, or place custodians in control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Borrower's Equipment and other Collateral for the purpose of completing any work in process, preparing any Collateral for disposing of or collecting any Collateral.

So long as the Obligations remain, Borrower shall also assign to Lender additional ORRIs equal to seven percent (7%) proportionately reduced to Borrower's Working Interest (plus Borrower's royalty interests) on oil and gas properties acquired from time to time.

Section 8.5 Set-Off Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to set-off and apply against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender or any depositary to Borrower whether or not the Obligations are then due, except for any amounts owing to third-party Working Interest and royalty interest holders of which Lender shall have been notified. Lender shall provide reasonable notice to Borrower following any application of such funds. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all money, instruments, and other property of Borrower now or hereafter held by Lender, including, without limitation, property held in safekeeping.

The representations, warranties and covenants made by Borrower in the Loan Documents, and the rights, powers and privileges granted to Lender in the Loan Documents, are cumulative, and, except for expressly specified waivers and consents, no Loan Document shall be construed in the context of another to diminish, nullify or otherwise reduce the benefit to Lender of any such representation, warranty, covenant, right, power or privilege.

Section 11.4 Parties in Interest; Transfers. All grants, covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of Lender. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.5 Governing Law; Submission to Process. Except to the extent that the law of another jurisdiction is expressly elected in a Loan Document, the Loan Documents shall be deemed contracts and instruments made under the laws of the State of Texas and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. This Agreement has been entered into in Houston, Texas and shall be performable for all purposes in Harris County, Texas. Subject to the provisions of Article XII, courts within the State of Texas shall have jurisdiction over any and all disputes between Borrower and Lender, whether in law or equity, including, but not limited to, any and all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

and venue in any such dispute whether in federal or state court shall be laid in Harris County, Texas.

Section 11.6 Limitation on Interest. Lender, Borrower and any other parties to any Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the parties stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in effect. Neither Borrower nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully charged under applicable law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section 11.6 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c) Lender or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law then in effect, then all such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at Lender's or such holder's option, promptly returned to Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific circumstance exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, Lender and Borrower (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, (x) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (y) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (z) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under applicable law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable law.

Section 11.7 Termination; Limited Survival. In their sole and absolute discretion, Borrower and Lender may each, at any time that no Obligations are owing, elect in a notice delivered to the other to terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt of such a notice, if no Obligations are then owing, this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall thereupon be terminated and the parties thereto released from any prospective obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, any waivers or admissions made by Borrower or Lender in any Loan Documents, and any obligations which any Person may have to indemnify or compensate Lender shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. At the request and expense of Borrower, Lender shall prepare and execute all necessary instruments to reflect and effect such termination of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.7 shall affect any and all continuing rights, validity and enforceability of the ORRIs.

Section 11.8 Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 11.10 Further Assurances. The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

Section 11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial, Punitive Damages, Etc. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY (a) KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AT ANY TIME ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY; (b) IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES; (c) CERTIFY THAT NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OR COUNSEL FOR ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE OR IMPLIED THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND (d) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11. 11 .

Section 11.12 Controlling Provision Upon Conflict. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise herein, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document or any other instrument referred to herein or executed in connection with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE XII
ARBITRATION

Section 12.1 Arbitration.

(a) Borrower and Lender and any other obligor party (the "parties") will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or Collateral promptly by negotiations between

themselves. The negotiation process may be started by the giving of written notice by any party to the other parties in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3, and the parties agree to negotiate in good faith, and select an independent mediator to facilitate the negotiations and conduct up to eight consecutive hours of mediated negotiations in Houston, Texas within 30 days after the notice is first sent. If, within 10 days after the initial notice, the parties are not able to agree upon a mediator, the party originally giving the notice shall promptly notify American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), 1331 Lamar, Suite 1180, Houston, Texas 77010, (713) 739-1302. AAA will promptly designate a mediator who is independent and impartial, and AAA's decision about the identity of the mediator will be final and binding.
(b) No arbitration may be commenced by any party unless and until a negotiation complying with the foregoing paragraph has been completed, and no litigation or other proceeding may ever be instituted at any time in any court for the purpose of adjudicating, interpreting or, except as may be set forth in Section 12.1(h), enforcing any rights or obligations of the parties hereto or any rights or obligations relating to the subject matter hereof, whether or not covered by the express terms of this Agreement, or for the purpose of adjudicating a breach or determination of the validity of this Agreement, or for the purpose of appealing any decision of an arbitrator.
(c) If a controversy or dispute is not resolved after completion of the negotiation process described above, then, upon notice by any party to the other parties (an "Arbitration Notice") and to AAA, the controversy or dispute shall be submitted to an arbitration panel for binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, in accordance with AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Rules"). The parties agree that they will faithfully observe this Agreement and the Rules and that they will abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitration panel. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1-16 (or by the same principles enunciated by such Act in the event it may not be technically applicable). The award or judgment of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on all parties and judgment upon the award or judgment of the arbitration panel may be entered and enforced by any court having jurisdiction. If any party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States of America, any state or commonwealth or any other nation or political subdivision thereof, then, to the extent permitted or not prohibited by applicable law, any factual or substantive legal issues arising in or during the pendency of any such proceeding shall be subject to all of the foregoing mandatory mediation and arbitration provisions and shall be resolved in accordance therewith. The agreements contained herein have been given for valuable consideration, are coupled with an interest and are not intended to be executory contracts. The fees and expenses of the arbitration panel will be shared by all parties engaged in the dispute or controversy on a basis determined to be fair and equitable by the arbitrator, taking into account the relative fault of each party, the relative credibility and merit of all claims and defenses made by each party and the cooperation, speed and efficiency of each party in conducting the arbitration proceedings and complying with the Rules and with orders and requests of the arbitrator.

     (d) Promptly after the Arbitration Notice is given, each party will select an independent and impartial arbitrator who will in turn select an independent and impartial third arbitrator (each such arbitrator must be experienced or have extensive familiarity with the oil and gas industry). If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable to agree on a third arbitrator, then one of the parties shall notify AAA and AAA shall select the third arbitrator with oil and gas industry experience or familiarity. The decision of AAA with respect to the selection of the arbitrator will be final and binding in such case. Such three arbitrators will constitute the arbitration panel.
     (e) Within 10 days after the selection of the arbitration panel, the parties and their counsel will appear before the arbitration panel at a place and time in Houston, Texas, as may be designated by the arbitration panel for the purpose of each party making a one hour or less presentation and summary of the case. Thereafter, the arbitration panel will set dates and times for additional hearings until the proceeding is concluded. The desire and goal of the parties is, and the arbitration panel will be advised that its goal should be, to conduct and conclude the arbitration proceeding as expeditiously as possible. If any party or his counsel fails to appear at any scheduled hearing, the arbitration panel shall be entitled to reach a decision based on the evidence which has been presented to it by the parties who did appear. Any arbitral award may be confirmed by a Texas state court.
     (f) Any arbitral award may be enforced in the courts of the state of Texas or of the United States of America for the Southern District of Texas, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereby accept for themselves and in respect of their property, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for said purpose and the parties hereby irrevocably waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection, including without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which they may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.
     (g) The arbitration panel will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding, or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     (h) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1 the provisions of this Section 12.1 relating to arbitration of disputes shall not apply to litigation that is instituted for the sole purpose of either: (i) compelling a party to submit to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1, (ii) obtaining enforcement of any award or judgment of the arbitrator(s) issued pursuant to this Section 12.1, or (iii) Lender's enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the Security Documents arising out of an Event of Default.

(ii) any other matter which has resulted or may result in a material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or assets of Borrower.

Section 6.3 is hereby amended by deleting the text of that Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

Section 6.3 Release of Collateral. If (a) the Obligations (other than those arising under the Overriding Royalty Interest Conveyance), have been paid in full, and (b) no Umnatured Event of Default or Event of Default then exists, then (i) Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrower, at Borrower's expense, (A) a release of the Deposit Account Control Agreement, (B) releases and satisfactions of all Liens and financing statements (and other registrations of security) with respect to the Collateral (including releasing Liens on the Alliance Properties, the Properties

Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall require Lender to release any Liens on the Alliance Properties which secure the obligations to Lender under the Alliance Loan Agreement.
