ARTICLE I
CONVEYANCE
Section 1.1 Conveyance. For and in consideration of One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid by Royalty Owner to
Working Interest Owner, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Working Interest Owner hereby GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, CONVEYS,
ASSIGNS, TRANSFERS, SETS OVER AND DELIVERS unto Royalty Owner a term overriding
royalty interest in and to the Subject Interests and in and to the Subject
Hydrocarbons attributable thereto that is equal to the Production Payment
Percentage with respect to each Subject Interest and the Subject Hydrocarbons
attributable thereto (but not to exceed during any Month the Scheduled
Quantities plus any Adjustment Quantity of the Subject Hydrocarbons produced and
saved that Month), together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances
thereto in anywise belonging thereto (the "Production Payment") insofar as and
limited to the Subject Wells described in the Property Exhibit.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Production Payment unto Royalty Owner, its
successors and assigns until the Termination Time.
Section 1.2 Non-Operating, Non-Expense-Bearing Interest. The Production
Payment conveyed hereby is a non-operating, non-expense-bearing limited term
overriding royalty interest, free of all cost and expense of production,
operations and delivery to the applicable Delivery Points. The Production
Payment and the Production Payment Hydrocarbons will be free and clear of, and
in no event will Royalty Owner ever be liable or responsible in any way for
payment of, any and all (a) costs, expenses and liabilities associated with
acquiring, exploring, developing, drilling, redrilling, maintaining, producing,
operating, reworking, repairing, recompleting, and remediating the Subject
Interests, or (b) cash balancing obligations or Delivery Point Charges. All
costs and expenses associated with acquiring, exploring, developing, drilling,
redrilling, maintaining, producing, operating, reworking, repairing,
recompleting, and remediating the Subject Interests and all cash balancing
2
obligations and Delivery Point Charges will be borne by the Retained Interests
and paid by Working Interest Owner promptly, on or before the dates the same
become delinquent.
Section 1.3 Royalties; Taxes. The Production Payment will be free and clear
of (and without deduction of) any and all royalties, overriding royalties, other
production payments, and other burdens on production and will bear no part of
the same; the Retained Interests will be burdened with, and Working Interest

THE PRODUCTION PAYMENT AND THE PRODUCTION PAYMENT HYDROCARBONS, AND THE
PRODUCTION PAYMENT HYDROCARBONS WILL BE FREE OF TAXES AND DELIVERED WITHOUT
DEDUCTION FOR TAXES.
Section 1.4 Termination.
(a) The Production Payment will remain in full force and effect until the
Termination Time. At the Termination Time, all rights, titles and interests
hereby conveyed to Royalty Owner in the Subject Interests will automatically
terminate and vest in Working Interest Owner and, upon request by Working
Interest Owner, Royalty Owner (at Working Interest Owner's expense) will execute
and deliver such instruments (in recordable form) as may be reasonably necessary
to evidence the termination of the Production Payment, provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, any
obligations which any Person may have to indemnify, reimburse, or compensate
Royalty Owner, or to make payments to Royalty Owner on account of Production
Payment Hydrocarbons produced before the Termination Time, or to give reports or
take other actions with respect to such Production Payment Hydrocarbons or such
payments, will survive any termination of the Production Payment.
(b) No pipeline company or other Person purchasing, taking or processing
Production Payment Hydrocarbons will be required to take notice of or to keep
informed concerning termination of the Production Payment until actual receipt
of a termination instrument signed by Royalty Owner as contemplated in the
preceding subsection.
(c) If any individual Subject Interest (or portion thereof, as applicable)
should by its terms terminate before the Termination Time and not be extended,
renewed or replaced, then the Production Payment will no longer apply to that
particular Subject Interest (or such portion thereof, as applicable), but the
Production Payment will remain in full force and effect and undiminished as to
all remaining Subject Interests (and all remaining portions of such Subject
Interest, as applicable), as well as to any new lease referred to in the last
sentence of the definition of "Lease" in Section 2.1. No Scheduled Quantity,
Adjustment Quantity or Monthly Adjustment Amount will ever be reduced or
diminished by reason of the termination of all or any portion of a Subject
Interest.

Section 1.5 Delivery to Royalty Owner. Working Interest Owner will cause
the Production Payment Hydrocarbons to be delivered each Day to Royalty Owner,
or to the credit of Royalty Owner, into the facilities of the Delivery Point
Recipient at the applicable Delivery Point, in a condition satisfactory to meet
or exceed all specifications and requirements of such Delivery Point Recipient
and free of all Delivery Point Charges. Such delivery will be made on a first
priority basis (along with the other Subject Hydrocarbons), to the extent
permitted by applicable Law and by any contracts existing on the date hereof,
and Working Interest Owner hereby dedicates to the Subject Hydrocarbons all
gathering, transportation, processing, treating and compression plants and
equipment (whether owned or possessed by contract right) and all contract rights
and other rights useful in making such delivery and agrees that the same will be
used to deliver the Subject Hydrocarbons in such condition prior to being used
for other Hydrocarbons belonging to Working Interest Owner or its Affiliates.
Although the Production Payment Hydrocarbons are owned by Royalty Owner when and
as produced at the wellhead, Working Interest Owner will be solely responsible
for causing delivery thereof to occur at the Delivery Points and for the
handling, management and care of the Production Payment Hydrocarbons until such
delivery has been completed and solely responsible for any damage, injury or
loss that may occur in connection therewith. To the extent it has the right to
do so, Working Interest Owner hereby grants to Royalty Owner and its purchasers
and agents easements and rights-of-way over and across the Leases and all lands
subject thereto or pooled, communitized and/or unitized therewith, together with
rights of ingress and egress to go on or about such lands and all related
production, processing, handling and other facilities, for the purposes of
receiving, accepting and taking Production Payment Hydrocarbons at the
applicable Delivery Points and for the further transportation thereof.
Section 1.6 Certain Limitations. The Production Payment will be subject to
the following provisions:
(a) Royalty Owner will look solely to the Production Payment Hydrocarbons
for satisfaction and discharge of the Production Payment, and Working Interest
Owner will not be personally liable under this Conveyance for the payment and
discharge thereof (although Working Interest Owner will be personally liable for
the performance of its representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities
in the Production Payment Documents (as defined in the Purchase and Sale
Agreement)).
(b) The Oil produced from the Subject Interests will be allocated first to
the Production Payment.
(c) Neither the occurrence of an event of force majeure nor any other event
or condition reducing or eliminating production or delivery of Subject
Hydrocarbons will suspend the calculation and increase of any Monthly Deficiency
or other component of the Monthly Adjustment Amount.
Section 1.7 Measurement. Measurement of Subject Hydrocarbons will be
determined under the applicable agreement with the Delivery Point Recipient (or
under the applicable marketing agreement with any Person purchasing such Oil at
the Delivery Point) and, if such agreement does not specify measurement
procedures, in accordance with generally accepted industry practices in effect
at the time and place of delivery using then current testing methods of the
4
American Society for Testing Materials or the American Petroleum Institute. All
measurements of Oil will be subject to the rights of Working Interest Owner and
Royalty Owner to audit and confirm such measurements. Working Interest Owner
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Royalty Owner that, with respect to
the Subject Hydrocarbons, production of Oil from each Subject Well is and will
continue to be measured at a point prior to any point where Oil from such
Subject Well is commingled with Oil from any other well or wells that are not
Subject Wells.
Section 1.8 No Mortgage, Assignment or Pooling by Working Interest Owner.
During the term of the Production Payment, (a) Working Interest Owner will not
mortgage, pledge or hypothecate the Subject Interests or create or allow to
remain any lien or security interest thereon or on any Hydrocarbons produced
therefrom, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and (b) Working Interest Owner
will not assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer the Subject Interests or any
part thereof, unless in each case Royalty Owner expressly consents thereto in
writing, the transferee expressly agrees to assume and perform all of Working
Interest Owner's obligations under this Conveyance and the other documents
executed in connection herewith (contingent, in the case of a mortgagee, upon
taking possession), and, except for the Security Documents (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), such mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, lien, security
interest, assignment, sale, conveyance or other transfer is made and accepted
expressly subject and subordinate to this Conveyance. Any purported mortgage,
pledge, hypothecation, lien, security interest, assignment, sale, conveyance, or
other transfer in violation hereof will be null and void. During the term of the
Production Payment, Working Interest Owner will not (except as may be required
by the terms of any existing or new Lease or by the terms of any Law or any
order of a court or regulatory authority having jurisdiction, or unless Working
Interest Owner and Royalty Owner have the same or larger Net Revenue Interest in
each affected Subject Interest both before and after pooling or unitization)
pool, communitize or unitize the Production Payment or the Subject Interests (or
amend any presently existing pooling, communitization or unitization agreement
with respect thereto) without the express written consent of Royalty Owner, and
any purported pooling, communitization, unitization or amendment in
contravention of the preceding clause will be null and void as to Royalty Owner
and will not have the effect of pooling or otherwise affecting the Production
Payment.
Section 1.9 Title. Working Interest Owner hereby binds itself and its
successors and assigns to WARRANT and forever DEFEND all and singular title to
the Production Payment and the Production Payment Hydrocarbons unto Royalty
Owner, its successors and assigns, against every Person lawfully claiming or who
may claim the same or any part thereof, including any Person claiming under a
Permitted Encumbrance. In addition, and without limitation of the foregoing,
Working Interest Owner warrants and represents to Royalty Owner that:
(a) each Lease is a valid and subsisting oil, gas and/or mineral lease,
deed or other instrument covering the lands and depths described in such Lease
(subject to any limitations as to depth or areal extent set forth in the
Property Exhibit with respect to such Lease).
(b) the ownership of Working Interest Owner of the Subject Interests does
and will, with respect to each Lease, unit, formation, or well identified in the
Property Exhibit, (i) entitle Working Interest Owner and Royalty Owner
collectively to receive and retain a percentage Net Revenue Interest share of
5
the Hydrocarbons produced from (or, to the extent pooled or unitized, allocated
to) such Lease, unit, formation or well equal to (or exceeding) the Warranted
Net Revenue Interest Percentage set forth in the Property Exhibit, determined
after taking all Non-Consent Provisions, if any, into account, and (ii) cause
Working Interest Owner to be obligated to bear a percentage share of the costs
associated with operations on such Lease, unit, formation, or well that is no
more than the Warranted Working Interest Percentage set forth in the Property
Exhibit, which share of costs is not subject to increase (except as specifically
described in such Exhibit) without either a corresponding proportional increase
in the associated Net Revenue Interest or the right to receive immediate
reimbursement for such increased costs from another owner of interests in such
Lease, unit, formation or well.
(c) such shares of production, as reflected on the Property Exhibit, which
Working Interest Owner and Royalty Owner are entitled to receive and retain, and
such shares of expenses, as reflected on the Property Exhibit, which Working
Interest Owner is obligated to bear, are not subject to change upon Working
Interest Owner's or any other Person's achievement of payout or some other
measure of recovery of costs incurred with respect to any of the Subject
Interests prior to the Effective Time, except as expressly described in the
Property Exhibit.
(d) Working Interest Owner's title to the Subject Interests, the Subject
Hydrocarbons and the facilities, equipment, and all related contractual rights
needed for the operation of the Subject Interests and the production of the
Subject Hydrocarbons is free and clear of (i) any encumbrances, liens, mortgages
or pledges, other than Permitted Encumbrances and any liens and security
interests being released concurrently with the grant of the Production Payment,
(ii) any preferential purchase rights (other than those that have been waived or
the time period for exercise of which has expired without exercise) or
requirements for consents to assignment (other than those that have been
obtained or waived) that would be applicable to or exercisable as a result of
this Conveyance, and (iii) any other defects that would materially and adversely
affect or interfere with the operation, use, possession, ownership or value
thereof as currently owned, operated, conducted and used by Working Interest
Owner or, if not Working Interest Owner, the current operator of the applicable
Lease.
This Conveyance is made with full substitution and subrogation of Royalty
Owner in and to all covenants, representations and warranties by others
heretofore given or made with respect to the Subject Interests.
Section 1.10 No Proportionate Reduction. It is understood and agreed that
the Production Payment Hydrocarbons and the Production Payment Percentages will
be determined based on 100% of the full Warranted Net Revenue Interest
Percentages of the Hydrocarbons produced from (or, to the extent pooled or
unitized, allocated to) the Subject Lands and will not be reduced for any reason
except to the extent expressly provided in Section 1.11. Among other things, the
Production Payment Hydrocarbons and the Production Payment Percentages will not
be reduced due to (a) the undivided interest owned by Working Interest Owner in
a Lease being less than the entire interest in such Lease, or (b) the interest
in Hydrocarbons or other minerals underlying any portion of the Subject Lands
which is covered by a particular Lease (or group of Leases) being less than the
entire interest in the Hydrocarbons and other minerals underlying such portion
of the Subject Lands.
6
Section 1.11 Government Regulation. The obligations of Working Interest
Owner hereunder will be subject to all applicable Laws. Working Interest Owner
will timely make all filings with all applicable agencies, boards, officials and
commissions having jurisdiction with respect to the Subject Interests, the
operation thereof or the Production Payment prior to or at the time any such
filing becomes due. Should any Laws, any Leases or any presently existing
provisions in presently existing private contracts (including those limiting the
size of overriding royalties and similar interests but excluding any contracts
directly entered into by Royalty Owner) be applicable to the Subject Interests
so as to limit the portion of the Hydrocarbons produced from a particular
Subject Interest which may be attributable to the Production Payment, the
Production Payment will, as to such Subject Interest and for the period of time
during which such Law, Lease or contractual provision is applicable, be limited
to the maximum amount of production from such Subject Interest which can be
attributed to the Production Payment under such Law, Lease or contractual
provision; provided, however, should such limitation be in effect as to any one
or more Subject Interests, then (without prejudice to other rights Royalty Owner
may have) the portion of production from (or, to the extent pooled or unitized,
allocated to) the other Subject Interests which would be attributable to the
Production Payment in the absence of the provisions of this subsection will be
increased to the maximum extent permitted (up to 90%) to cause Royalty Owner to
receive, by virtue of ownership of the Production Payment, the same aggregate
amount of Oil that Royalty Owner would have received had such Law, Lease or
contractual provision not reduced the share of production from such Subject
Interest with respect to which the Production Payment could be paid.
Section 1.12 Partial Release and Replacement. Working Interest Owner and
Royalty Owner agree that in the event that the Subject Interests located in
Taylor County, Texas, are to be sold by Working Interest Owner, Royalty Owner
will agree to reconvey to Working Interest Owner its remaining term overriding
royalty interest in such Subject Interests in exchange for either (at the
election of Royalty Owner) (a) the conveyance to Royalty Owner by Working
Interest Owner, upon substantially the same terms as this Conveyance, of a term
overriding royalty interest in additional Leases that will serve to replace the
Production Payment Hydrocarbons attributable to the Subject Interests being
sold, such additional Leases, term overriding royalty interest and all related
documents to be satisfactory in form and substance to Royalty Owner in its sole
discretion or (b) a reconveyance payment to Royalty Owner, in an amount to be
determined by Royalty Owner, and corresponding reductions in the Aggregate
Quantity and Scheduled Quantities as evidenced by a duly executed amendment to
this Conveyance, such reconveyance payment, such reductions and such amendment
to be satisfactory in form and substance to Royalty Owner.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 3.1 Nature of Production Payment; Intentions of the Parties. This
Conveyance is an absolute conveyance of an interest in real property. The
Production Payment constitutes a "production payment" as defined in Section
101(42A) of the Bankruptcy Code and referred to in Section 541(b)(4)(B)(i) of
the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties intend for the Production Payment to at all
times be treated for federal income tax purposes (and for the purpose of any
similarly calculated state income or franchise taxes, but for no other purposes)
as a mortgage loan (and not a "royalty" or other "economic interest" in
Hydrocarbons) within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the
regulations and judicial authority relating thereto, and the Parties agree to
report the Production Payment accordingly on all applicable tax returns. Nothing
in this Conveyance may be construed to constitute either Party (under state Law
or for tax purposes) in partnership with the other Party or to constitute an
assignment by Working Interest Owner to Royalty Owner of an interest in any tax
partnership burdening the Subject Interests. The Production Payment does not
include any ownership interest in and to any of the fixtures, structures,
equipment or other tangible personal property now or hereafter placed on, or
used in connection with, the Subject Interests or any right to conduct
operations with any of the foregoing.
Section 3.2 Governing Law. THIS CONVEYANCE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCEWITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
Section 3.3 Successors and Assigns. The covenants, provisions and
conditions contained in this Conveyance are agreed and acknowledged to be
covenants running with the land and the respective interests of Working Interest
Owner and Royalty Owner and will be binding upon and (subject to the
restrictions in Section 1.8) inure to the benefit of Working Interest Owner and
Royalty Owner and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Royalty
Owner and its successors and assigns may, and nothing contained in this
instrument will in any way limit or restrict the right of Royalty Owner, or
Royalty Owner's successors and assigns to, sell, convey, assign, mortgage or
otherwise transfer the Production Payment or its rights and obligations under
this Conveyance in whole or in part. If at any time Royalty Owner, or Royalty
Owner's successors and assigns, execute a mortgage, pledge or deed of trust
covering all or any part of the Production Payment as security for any
obligation, the mortgagee, the pledgee or the trustee therein named or the
holder of the obligation secured thereby will be entitled, to the extent such
mortgage, pledge or deed of trust so provides, to exercise all of the rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein conferred upon Royalty Owner and to give
16
or withhold all consents herein required or permitted to be obtained from
Royalty Owner. All references herein to either Working Interest Owner or Royalty
Owner include their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section 3.4 Counterpart Execution. This Conveyance is executed in multiple
originals all of which constitute one and the same Conveyance; provided,
however, in order to facilitate recording of this Conveyance in the public
records of each of the jurisdictions in which the Subject Interests are located
(or in each of the jurisdictions adjacent to any offshore Subject Interests),
the exhibits attached to a counterpart recorded in a single jurisdiction may
contain only those pages (or portions thereof) which apply to Subject Interests
that are located in (or are adjacent to) such jurisdiction. Complete
counterparts of this Conveyance have been retained by each of the Parties, and a
complete counterpart of this Conveyance is recorded in Harrison County, Texas.
Section 3.5 Further Assurances. Working Interest Owner will take all such
further actions and will execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further
documents that may reasonably be requested by Royalty Owner to effectuate this
Conveyance or to carry out the purposes of this Conveyance.
Section 3.6 No Subordination to Permitted Encumbrance. Certain agreements,
contracts and other documents are listed in the Property Exhibit and included in
the definition of Permitted Encumbrances. References herein or in the Property
Exhibit to Permitted Encumbrances are made solely for the purpose of modifying
Working Interest Owner's warranties and representations as to the Subject
Interests, and without regard to whether or not any Permitted Encumbrance is
valid, subsisting, legal or enforceable or affects or is senior to the
Production Payment. Such references are not intended to constitute and do not
constitute any express or implied recognition or acknowledgment by any Party as
to the validity, legality, enforceability or priority of the same or of any
term, provision or condition thereof or the applicability or seniority thereof
to the Production Payment and do not revive or ratify the same or create any
rights in any third Person. No provision in this Conveyance may be construed as
an agreement or expression of intent by Royalty Owner to acquire the Production
Payment subject to any unrecorded Permitted Encumbrance.
Section 3.7 Partial Invalidity. Except as otherwise expressly stated
herein, in the event any term or provision contained in this Conveyance is for
any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent by a court or
regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction, such term or provision will
otherwise remain effective and be enforced, and all other terms and provisions
hereof will nevertheless remain effective and will be enforced, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law.
