PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 14, 2010, by and among ROXANNA ROCKY MOUNTAINS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Roxanna”), MRC ROCKIES COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“Matador” and together with Roxanna collectively referred to as “Owners”), ROXANNA OIL, INC., a Texas corporation (“ROI”), MATADOR RESOURCES COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“MRC”), MATADOR PRODUCTION COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“Operator”), ALLIANCE CAPITAL REAL ESTATE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Participant”) and ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AllianceBernstein”). Roxanna, Matador, ROI, MRC, Operator, Participant and AllianceBernstein are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Matador has record title to, and Owners have equitable title to, the oil and gas leases (individually a “Lease” and collectively the “Leases”) more specifically described in Exhibit A attached hereto covering approximately 140,000 gross acres of land located in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and they desire to have Participant participate in the exploration and development of the Leases and, in particular, to provide the funding for the drilling of an exploratory test well on the Leases;

WHEREAS, Participant desires to participate in the exploration and development of the Leases and is willing to agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to pay the costs to drill, core and case a test well on the Leases in exchange for (i) an assignment of a 50% working interest in the Leases located within a specified area around such well and (ii) the options to acquire up to a 50% working interest in the remainder of the Leases or participate in the drilling of a subsequent test well on the Leases; and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to memorialize their rights and obligations.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants and benefits herein provided and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

Initial Test Well

1.1 Obligation to Drill, Core and Case Initial Test Well. Operator, as operator under the Operating Agreement (hereinafter defined), agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to drill, core and case a vertical well at the location set forth on the map attached hereto as Exhibit B located in Section 35, Township 24 North, Range 120 West, Lincoln County, Wyoming, or such other location as may agreed upon by the Parties (the “Initial Test Well”), before the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Operator will use commercially

 

1


reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Test Well to be drilled to a vertical depth of approximately 9,300 feet or a depth sufficient to test the Meade Peak-Phosphoria Shale Formation (the “Contract Depth”) and to cause a conventional whole core to be taken through the Meade Peak-Phosphoria Shale Formation (approximately 200 feet of whole core). The obligations of Operator under this Section 1.1 will be conditioned on Participant’s compliance with its obligations hereunder to pay the Initial Commitment Amount (as defined below).

1.2 Payment of Costs of Initial Test Well. Participant will pay 100% of the actual costs to drill, core and case the Initial Test Well up to an aggregate cost of $4,200,000.00 (the “Initial Commitment Amount”), as estimated in the authorization for expenditure (“AFE”) for the Initial Test Well, which is agreed upon by the Parties and attached hereto as Exhibit C. Participant shall prepay $1,000,000.00 of the Initial Commitment Amount by depositing such cash amount with Operator within 30 days of the date of this Agreement. Operator shall notify Participant approximately 60 days prior to the expected spud date of the Initial Test Well, and Participant shall prepay the remaining $3,200,000.00 of the Initial Commitment Amount by depositing such cash amount with Operator within 30 days after its receipt of such notice of the expected spud date. If the aggregate actual costs for the Initial Test Well reach the Initial Commitment Amount and the drill, core and case operations have not been concluded, Owners will pay up to an additional $630,000.00 in an attempt to conclude the drill, core and case operations. If the aggregate actual costs of the Initial Test Well reach $4,830,000.00, and the drill, core and case operations have not been concluded, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to determine the best course of action at that time. If the Parties determine to continue operations on the Initial Test Well, it is expected that each of Participant, on the one hand, and Owners, on the other hand, will pay 50% of all subsequent costs of the Initial Test Well. Neither Participant nor Owners will be obligated to pay costs for the Initial Test Well beyond its respective limits as specified in this Section 1.2 in order to conclude the drill, core and case operations on the Initial Test Well. Within 90 days after the conclusion of the drill, core and case operations, any unexpended portion of the prepayment deposits made by Participant with respect to the Initial Commitment Amount, after payment of all actual costs of such operations, will be refunded to Participant.

1.3 No Guarantee of Success. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Initial Test Well is a rank wildcat, exploratory well and that neither Owners, Operator nor MRC can guarantee the drill, core and case operations will be concluded successfully.

1.4 Assignment of Initial Earned Interest. In consideration for funding up to the Initial Commitment Amount of the costs of the Initial Test Well, Participant will receive a 50% working interest in the Leases insofar and only insofar as they cover 5,760 gross acres of contiguous or non-contiguous land (the “Initial Prospect Area”) surrounding the drill site of the Initial Test Well (the “Initial Earned Interest”), as more particularly described on Exhibit D attached hereto. Within 30 days after payment by Participant of the Initial Commitment Amount with respect to the Initial Test Well, Matador will assign to Participant the Initial Earned Interest, subject to the prior assignment to Roxanna of a proportionately reduced 2.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest in the assigned Leases. Said assignment will be made without warranty of title, except by, through and under Matador, but to no further extent, and will be subject to the Operating Agreement and the provisions of the assigned Leases. All assignments of interest to Participant will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Assignment”). The net revenue interest acquired by Participant in each assigned Lease will not

 

2


be less than 50% of the net revenue interest shown for such Leases in Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to Roxanna’s overriding royalty interest.

ARTICLE II.

Participant’s Options to Purchase or Drill Second Test Well

2.1 Options for Participant. Within 90 days after Participant’s receipt of the laboratory analysis of the core data from the Initial Test Well (“Initial Election Period”), Participant will have the option either (A) (herein called “Option A”) to purchase up to a 50% working interest in the balance of the Leases, excluding the Initial Earned Interest assigned by Owners to Participant pursuant to Section 1.4 above (the “First Purchase Interest”), or (B) (herein called “Option B”) to elect for Owners and Participant, subject to Section 2.3 below, to drill and complete a second test well (the “Second Test Well”), at a location on the Leases to be determined by the Parties, including a production test on the well, as provided in an AFE to be agreed by the Parties. Participant may not elect both Option A and Option B. Participant must exercise Option A or Option B by written notice to Owners within the Initial Election Period.

2.2 Option A Purchase and Assignment. If Participant timely elects Option A, the Parties will consummate the purchase and sale of the First Purchase Interest within 30 days after Owners receive notice of such election. The purchase price payable by Participant to Owners will be $195.00 per net acre, proportionately reduced to the interest acquired. Participant will wire transfer the purchase price to Owners in accordance with written instructions provided by Owners. In exchange for payment of the purchase price, Matador will execute and deliver to Participant an Assignment of the First Purchase Interest, subject to the prior assignment to Roxanna of a proportionately reduced 2.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest in the assigned Leases. Said Assignment will be made without warranty of title, except by, through and under Matador, but to no further extent, and will be subject to the Operating Agreement and the provisions of the assigned Leases. The net revenue interest acquired by Participant in each assigned Lease will not be less than Participant’s purchased working interest share of the net revenue interest shown for such Leases in Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to Roxanna’s overriding royalty interest.

2.3 Option B Second Test Well. If Participant timely elects Option B, Operator will use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the drilling of the Second Test Well before the first anniversary of the date of Participant’s exercise of Option B. The Second Test Well will be drilled to a vertical depth sufficient to test the Meade Peak-Phosphoria Shale Formation. Participant will pay 100% of the actual costs to drill and complete, and to perform a production test of, the Second Test Well up to an aggregate cost of $5,000,000.00 (the “Second Commitment Amount”). Operator shall request payment for the estimated costs of the Second Test Well, and Participant shall prepay such costs, according to the procedures for prepayment of costs set forth in Articles VII.C. and XV.F. of the Operating Agreement. If the aggregate actual costs for the Second Test Well reach the Second Commitment Amount and the drilling, completing and production testing operations have not been concluded, all subsequent costs with respect to the Second Test Well shall be borne and paid 50% by Participant and 50% by Owners. Within 90 days after the conclusion of the drilling, completion and production test operations on the Second Test Well, any unexpended portion of the prepayment deposit made by Participant

 

3


with respect to the Second Commitment Amount, after payment of all actual costs of such operations, will be refunded to Participant. The obligations of Operator under this Section 2.3 will be conditioned on Participant’s compliance with its obligations hereunder to pay the Second Commitment Amount.

2.4 Assignment of Second Earned Interest. In consideration for funding up to the Second Commitment Amount of the costs of the Second Test Well and 50% of all additional costs of the Second Test Well as may be incurred, Participant will receive a 50% working interest in the Leases insofar and only insofar as they cover 5,760 gross acres of contiguous or non-contiguous land (the “Second Prospect Area”) surrounding the drill site of the Second Test Well (the “Second Earned Interest”). Within 30 days after payment by Participant of the Second Commitment Amount with respect to the Second Test Well, Matador will execute and deliver to Participant an Assignment of the Second Earned Interest, subject to the prior assignment to Roxanna of a proportionately reduced 2.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest in the assigned Leases. Said Assignment will be made without warranty of title, except by, through and under Matador, but to no further extent, and will be subject to the Operating Agreement and the provisions of the assigned Leases. The net revenue interest acquired by Participant in each assigned Lease will not be less than 50% of the net revenue interest shown for such Leases in Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to Roxanna’s overriding royalty interest.

2.5 Option C Purchase and Assignment. If Participant elected Option B instead of Option A and the Second Test Well was drilled, completed and production tested, Participant will then have the further option (herein called “Option C”) to purchase up to a 50% working interest in the balance of the Leases in which the Initial Earned Interest and Second Earned Interest were not assigned by Owners to Participant pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 2.4 above (the “Second Purchase Interest”). Participant must exercise Option C by written notice to Owners within 90 days after the completion of the production testing of the Second Test Well (the “Second Election Period”). If Participant timely elects Option C, the Parties will consummate the purchase and sale of the Second Purchase Interest within 30 days after Owners receive notice of such election. The purchase price payable by Participant to Owners will be $195.00 per net acre, proportionately reduced to the interest acquired. Participant will wire transfer the purchase price to Owners in accordance with written instructions provided by Owners. In exchange for payment of the purchase price, Matador will execute and deliver to Participant an Assignment of the Second Purchase Interest, subject to the prior assignment to Roxanna of a proportionately reduced 2.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest in the assigned Leases. Said Assignment will be made without warranty of title, except by, through and under Matador, but to no further extent, and will be subject to the Operating Agreement and the provisions of the assigned Leases. The net revenue interest acquired by Participant in each assigned Lease will not be less than Participant’s purchased working interest share of the net revenue interest shown for such Leases in Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to Roxanna’s overriding royalty interest.

ARTICLE III.

Operating Agreement

3.1 Execution of Operating Agreement. Operator, Matador, Roxanna and Participant agree promptly to execute and deliver the form of Operating Agreement (the “Operating

 

4


Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit F, naming Matador Production Company as Operator. All operations on the Initial Test Well, the Second Test Well and any subsequent wells drilled on any of the Leases in which Participant, Matador and Roxanna (or their respective successors or assigns) jointly own working interests will be conducted under the terms of the Operating Agreement, subject to this Agreement. Operator, Matador, Roxanna and Participant agree to amend Exhibit “A” to the Operating Agreement by inserting an addendum to reflect the working interest of the Parties with respect to the Leases if Participant elects Option A or Option C and purchases less than a 50% working interest in the balance of the Leases.

3.2 Sharing of Costs and Subsequent Well Elections. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, after payment of costs (i) by Participant of up to the Initial Commitment Amount and, if applicable, by Owners of up to an additional $630,000.00, for the Initial Test Well, and (ii), if applicable, by Participant up to the Second Commitment Amount for the Second Test Well, the Parties will pay all subsequent costs with respect to the Initial Test Well (subject to Section 1.2) and, if applicable, the Second Test Well on a “heads-up” basis (i.e., Participant paying 50% and Owners paying 50%). The costs for any subsequent wells drilled on the Leases within any area covered by the Operating Agreement will be allocated and paid in accordance with the provisions of the Operating Agreement. All interests of the Parties will be subject to proportionate reduction to the extent, if any, that the Leases do not cover 100% of the mineral interests in the underlying lands covered by the Leases. All elections under the Operating Agreement with respect to the drilling and completing of all subsequent wells after the Initial Test Well and any Second Test Well shall be on an “all in or all out basis” within the Initial Prospect Area, any Second Prospect Area and, if Participant elects Option A or C, any contractual drilling units (“Drilling Units”) established for such subsequent wells in accordance with this Section 3.2. If Participant elects Option A or C, the Parties agree that a Drilling Unit will be established for each such subsequent well (except for a well drilled in a pre-existing Drilling Unit) drilled on the Leases and any other leases in which the Parties own working interests subject to the Operating Agreement (collectively, the “Operating Agreement Leases”), that the size of each of the Drilling Units will be 5,760 acres, or as close to 5,760 acres as is reasonably possible, and that each Drilling Unit shall consist of the Operating Agreement Leases that are as contiguous as reasonably possible but only to the extent they cover the lands within the Drilling Unit. The Parties further agree that such Drilling Units will be established to permit the orderly exploration of the Operating Agreement Leases and will not necessarily conform to any federal, state, production, regulatory, proration or other units that may be established. As such subsequent wells are proposed to be drilled, Drilling Units will continue to be established from time to time, until all of the Operating Agreement Leases are included in a Drilling Unit. For any subsequent well drilled in the Initial Prospect Area or the Second Prospect Area, the Drilling Unit for such well for the purposes of this Section 3.2 will be the Initial Prospect Area or the Second Prospect Area, as applicable. If any of Roxanna, Matador or Participant elects not to participate in the drilling or completion of any subsequent well that is subject to the Operating Agreement, such non-participating Party shall relinquish all of its working interests in all of the Operating Agreement Leases to the extent they cover lands within the Drilling Unit in which the subsequent well is located, including all rights to such subsequent well and the production therefrom, less and except all of such Party’s working interest in such Operating Agreement Leases to the extent they cover lands within any governmental proration unit or units associated with any other wells then existing within such Drilling Unit in which such non-participating Party has participated (such relinquished working interests are referred to as the “Remaining Working Interest”). Within 30 days following its election not to participate, such non-

 

5


participating Party shall execute and deliver to the participating working interest owners an assignment of all of such Party’s Remaining Working Interest, if any, in the Drilling Unit in which the well is located.

3.3 Area Covered by Operating Agreement. The area covered by the Operating Agreement will be (a) initially the Initial Prospect Area, and (b) if and after Participant timely elects Option B, then in addition the Second Prospect Area, and (c) if and after Participant timely elects Option A or Option C and consummates the purchase of an interest in the remaining Leases, thereafter the lands covered by the Leases and by any other oil and gas leases in which Owners and Participant acquire an interest pursuant to the AMI (as defined below). The Operating Agreement will cover all depths owned by Owners and Participant in the Leases and other leases acquired in the future to the extent they cover lands in the foregoing area.

3.4 Conflicts with Operating Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Operating Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control as between the Parties.

3.5 Area of Mutual Interest. The parties agree that an area of mutual interest (“AMI”) shall exist within the boundary of the area as outlined on Exhibit G attached hereto. While the AMI exists and during the period prior to the date when Participant elects Option A or Option C and consummates the purchase of an interest in the remaining Leases, (i) each of Participant and AllianceBernstein agrees that Owners will have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire at cost 50% of any interest in any oil and gas lease Participant or AllianceBernstein directly or indirectly acquires within the AMI, and (ii) Matador, Roxanna, ROI and MRC agree that any oil and gas lease acquired directly or indirectly by them within the AMI shall become part of and added to the Leases described on Exhibit A attached hereto for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations in this clause (ii) of Matador, Roxanna, ROI and MRC will nevertheless terminate (a) at the end of the Initial Election Period unless Participant has timely exercised Option A or Option B or (b) at the end of the Second Election Period unless Participant has timely exercised Option C and, in either case of (a) or (b), Participant has subsequently complied with its payment obligations regarding the Second Test Well (if Option B was exercised) and its purchase of an interest in the remaining Leases (if Option A or Option C was exercised). If and after Participant timely elects Option A or Option C and consummates the purchase of an interest in the remaining Leases, each of Participant, on the one hand, and Owners, on the other hand, will have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire at cost their respective working interest shares (based on the amount of working interest acquired by Participant pursuant to the exercise of such option) in all interests that may thereafter be renewed or acquired by any of the Parties, directly or indirectly, in any oil and gas lease located within the AMI. If a Party intends to participate in a Federal or State auction of leases in the AMI, such Party shall notify the other Parties in writing at least 15 days before such sale. The AMI will exist for a term of 10 years from the date of this Agreement. Roxanna will be entitled to a proportionately reduced 2.5% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest in all interests that may be renewed or acquired by any of the Parties, directly or indirectly, in any oil and gas lease located within the AMI. If any Lease (or pooled unit associated with any Lease) is producing or in its primary term or being extended by continuous drilling provisions at the end of the 10-year period, the terms of the AMI will extend beyond the 10-year period only as to such Lease(s) and the lands covered thereby until: (i) the end of its or their primary term; or (ii) operations pursuant to the continuous drilling provisions have ceased and the continuous drilling provisions

 

6


are no longer in effect; or (iii) a Lease, or the pooled unit associated with such Lease(s), ceases to produce in commercial quantities, as the case may be. Alternatively, the Parties may elect to terminate the AMI at any time upon their mutual agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

Representations and Warranties of Matador, MRC and Operator

Each of Matador, MRC and Operator (each “Matador Entity”), jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to Roxanna, ROI, Participant and AllianceBernstein that the statements contained in this Article IV are true and correct as of the date hereof.

4.1 Existence and Qualification. Each Matador Entity is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and otherwise hold and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of Matador and Operator is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Matador Entity, and the consummation by each Matador Entity of the transactions contemplated hereby have been validly authorized by each Matador Entity, and no other action on the part of any Matador Entity is necessary to validly authorize such transactions. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Matador Entity and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties hereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Matador Entity, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity.

4.3 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms and conditions hereof and thereof will not violate, breach or be in conflict with: (i) any material provision of the governing documents of any Matador Entity; (ii) any material provision of any agreement or instrument to which any Matador Entity is a party, or by which any Matador Entity or any of the Leases is bound; or (iii) any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to any Matador Entity, except for consents and approvals of governmental authorities customarily obtained subsequent to a transfer of title.

4.4 Record Title. Matador owns record title to the Leases.

4.5 Liability for Brokers’ Fees. No Matador Entity has incurred any liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokers’ or finders’ fees relating to the transactions contemplated hereunder for which Participant or AllianceBernstein shall have any responsibility whatsoever.

 

7


4.6 No Bankruptcy. There are no bankruptcy proceedings pending, being contemplated by, or to the actual knowledge of any Matador Entity, threatened against any Matador Entity or any of their respective affiliates.

4.7 Taxes. No taxes, assessments, or obligations relating thereto (including any interest, fines, penalties or additions to taxes or assessments), pertaining to the Leases based on ownership of such properties for all taxable periods prior to the taxable period in which the date hereof occurs are due or assessable.

4.11 Environment. To the actual knowledge of any Matador Entity, there has been no contamination of groundwater, surface water or soil on the Leases resulting from oil and gas operations conducted by any Matador Entity, which required remediation between the date of acquisition of the Leases and the date of this Agreement under applicable Environmental Laws but which has not been remediated. “Environmental Laws” means, as the same have been amended to the date hereof, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.; the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 1471 et seq.; the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 2601 through 2629; the Oil Pollution Act, 33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.; the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, 42 U.S.C. § 11001 et seq.; and the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300f through 300j, and all similar Laws as of the date hereof of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the property in question addressing pollution or protection of the environment or biological or cultural resources and all regulations implementing the foregoing.

be treated, for purposes of federal income taxation and for purposes of certain state income tax laws that incorporate or follow federal income tax principles, as resulting in (a) the creation of a partnership (the “Tax Partnership”) in which Participant and the Owners are treated as partners, with the Tax Partnership being treated for tax purposes as holding equitable title to, and engaging in all activities of the Parties with respect to, the Leases insofar as they cover the Initial Prospect Area and, if Participant elects Option B, the Second Prospect Area, (b) a contribution by the Owners to the Tax Partnership of their interests in the Leases to the extent they cover the Initial Prospect Area and a commitment by Participant to make capital contributions to the Tax Partnership in order to fund the costs allocable to it under Section 1.2 of the Participation Agreement in exchange for a 50% interest in the Tax Partnership, (c) if Participant elects Option B, a contribution by the Owners to the Tax Partnership of their interests in the Leases to the extent they cover the Second Prospect Area and a commitment by Participant to make capital contributions to the Tax Partnership in order to fund the costs allocable to it under Section 2.3 of the Participation Agreement, and (d) the realization by the Tax Partnership of all items of income or gain and the incurrence by the Tax Partnership of all items of costs or expenses attributable to the ownership, operation or disposition of the Leases insofar as they cover the Initial Prospect Area and, if Participant elects Option B, the Second Prospect Area, notwithstanding that such items are realized, paid or incurred by the Parties individually. The governing terms and conditions of the Tax Partnership are set forth in Exhibit H hereto.

ARTICLE IX.

Miscellaneous

9.1 Several Liability; Relationship of Parties. The rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of Operator, Matador, Roxanna and Participant hereunder will be several, not joint or collective. It is not the purpose or intention of this Agreement to create any mining partnership, commercial partnership or other partnership relation other than the Tax Partnership created pursuant to Section 8.1.

9.2 Access to Documents. Owners agree, upon reasonable request by Participant, to furnish copies of Leases, instruments, title opinions and other related data contained in its files relating to the Leases. Owners, MRC, ROI and Operator make no representation as to the accuracy or reliability of any information or data furnished to Participant or AllianceBernstein and assumes no responsibility with respect thereto.

9.3 Title Failures. If, on or before the date of the execution and delivery of the Assignment to Participant of the Initial Earned Interest in accordance with Section 1.4 or the execution and delivery of the Assignment to Participant of the Second Earned Interest in accordance with Section 2.4, any of the Leases that would otherwise be included in such Assignment has terminated because of the expiration of its primary term or other title failure, Matador will substitute for the terminated Lease in the Assignment another Lease that is contiguous, or as near to contiguous as is practicable, to the Initial Prospect Area or Second Prospect Area, as applicable, and that is in full force and effect so that the revised Initial Prospect Area or Second Prospect Area, as applicable, containing the substitute Lease (or portion thereof that is assigned) continues to cover 5,760 gross acres. If, on or before the date of the execution and delivery of the Assignment to Participant of Participant’s working interest in the balance of the Leases pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.5, any of the Leases that would otherwise be included in such Assignment has terminated because of the expiration of its primary term or other title failure, such terminated Lease will be excluded from such Assignment, and Participant will not be obligated to pay any purchase price with respect to such terminated Leases. Participant and AllianceBernstein acknowledge and agree that Owners and Operator have no obligation to extend or renew any Lease that may terminate due to expiration of its primary term. The foregoing obligations of Matador in this Section 9.3 represent the sole rights and remedies of Participant and AllianceBernstein under this Agreement with respect to any Lease that has terminated because of the expiration of its primary term or other title failure prior to the execution and delivery by Matador of an Assignment to Participant of an interest in such Lease. After execution and delivery of any of the foregoing Assignments to Participant, renewals and extensions of the Leases covered by such Assignments will be governed by the terms of the Operating Agreement. Should Matador elect to extend or renew any Lease that may terminate due to expiration of its primary term prior to Participant’s election of Option A or Option C hereunder, Matador may, in its sole discretion, offer Participant the right to participate for up to a 50% working interest in such extension or renewal of said Lease. Should Participant elect to participate in such extension or renewal and pay its share of the costs thereof, Participant will be assigned its working interest in said Lease within 30 days of the Lease renewal or extension and payment of its share of the costs and will have no further obligation to acquire said Lease under the terms outlined in this Agreement pursuant to Participant’s election of Option A or Option C hereunder. Should Participant decline to participate in such extension or renewal of said Lease, Matador retains the right, but not the obligation under this Agreement, to offer and assign said Lease to Participant pursuant to Participant’s election of Option A or Option C hereunder.

9.4 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, changed, altered or supplemented only by written instrument duly executed by the Parties specifically for such purpose and which specifically refers to this Agreement. Neither the waiver by any of the Parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of any Party hereto, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

ARTICLE III.

INTERESTS OF PARTIES

A. Oil and Gas Interests:

If any party owns an oil and gas interest in the Contract Area, that interest shall be treated for all purposes of this agreement and during the term hereof as if it were covered by the form of oil and gas lease attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, and the owner thereof shall be deemed to own both the royalty interest reserved in such lease and the interest of the lessee thereunder.

B. Interests of Parties in Costs and Production:

Unless changed by other provisions, all costs and liabilities incurred in operations under this agreement shall be borne and paid, and all equipment and materials acquired in operations on the Contract Area shall be owned, by the parties as their interests are set forth in Exhibit “A”. In the same manner, the parties shall also own all production of oil and gas from the Contract Area subject to the payment of royalties, overriding royalty interests and other burdens out of production which shall be borne as provided under the terms of the Participation Agreement. to the extent of which shall be borne as hereinafter set forth.

Regardless of which party has contributed the lease(s) and/or oil and gas interest(s) hereto on which royalty is due and payable, each party entitled to receive a share of production of oil and gas from the Contract Area shall bear and shall pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the extent of its interest in such production, the royalty amount stipulated hereinabove and shall hold the other parties free from any liability therefor. No party shall ever be responsible, however, on a price basis higher than the price received by such party, to any other party’s lessor or royalty owner, and if any such other party’s lessor or royalty owner should demand and receive settlement on a higher price basis, the party contributing the affected lease shall bear the additional royalty burden attributable to such higher price.

Nothing contained in this Article III.B. shall be deemed an assignment or cross-assignment of interests covered hereby.

C. Excess Royalties, Overriding Royalties and Other Payments:

Unless changed by other provisions, if the interest of any party in any lease covered hereby is subject to any royalty, overriding royalty, production payment or other burden on production in excess of the amount stipulated in Article III.B., such party so burdened shall assume and alone bear all such excess obligations and shall indemnify and hold the other parties hereto harmless from any and all claims and demands for payment asserted by owners of such excess burden.

D. Subsequently Created Interests:

If any party should hereafter create an overriding royalty, production payment or other burden payable out of production attributable to its working interest hereunder, or if such a burden existed prior to this agreement and is not set forth in Exhibit “A”, or was not disclosed in writing to all other parties prior to the execution of this agreement by all parties, or is not a jointly acknowledged and accepted obligation of all parties (any such interest being hereinafter referred to as “subsequently created interest” irrespective of the timing of its creation and the party out of whose working interest the subsequently created interest is derived being hereinafter referred to as “burdened party”), and:

 

  1.

If the burdened party is required under this agreement to assign or relinquish to any other party, or parties, all or a portion of its working interest and/or the production attributable thereto, said other party, or parties, shall receive said assignment and/or production free and clear of said subsequently created interest and the burdened party shall indemnify and save said other party, or parties, harmless from any and all claims and demands for payment asserted by owners of the subsequently created interest; and,

 

  2.

If the burdened party fails to pay, when due, its share of expenses chargeable hereunder, all provisions of Article VII.B. shall be enforceable against the subsequently created interest in the same manner as they are enforceable against the working interest of the burdened party.

ARTICLE IV.

TITLES

A. Title Examination:

Title examination shall be made on the drillsite of any proposed well prior to commencement of drilling operations. or, if the Drilling Parties so request, title examination shall be made on the leases and/or oil and gas interests included, or planned to be includ- ed, in the drilling unit around such well. The opinion will include the ownership of the working interest, minerals, royalty, overriding royalty and production payments under the applicable leases. At the time a well is proposed, each party contributing leases and/or oil and gas interests to the drillsite, or to be included in such drilling unit, shall furnish to Operator all abstracts (including federal lease status reports), title opinions, title papers and curative material in its possession free of charge. All such information not in the possession of or made available to Operator by the parties, but necessary for the examination of the title, shall be obtained by Operator. Operator shall cause title to be examined by attorneys on its staff or by outside attorneys. Copies of all title opinions shall be furnished to each party hereto. The cost incurred by Operator in this title program shall be borne as follows:

¨ Option No. 1: Costs incurred by Operator in procuring abstracts and title examination (including preliminary, supplemental, shut-in gas royalty opinions and division order title opinions) shall be a part of the administrative overhead as provided in Exhibit “C”, and shall not be a direct charge, whether performed by Operator’s staff attorneys or by outside attorneys.

ARTICLE IV

continued

þ Option No. 2: Costs incurred by Operator in procuring abstracts and fees paid outside attorneys for title examination (including preliminary, supplemental, shut-in gas royalty opinions and division order title opinions) and fees paid to outside landmen for abstracts, runsheets or title curative shall be borne by the Drilling Parties in the proportion that the interest of each Drilling Party bears to the total interest of all Drilling Parties as such interests appear in Exhibit “A”. Operator shall make no charge for services rendered by its staff attorneys or other personnel in the performance of the above functions.

Operator Each party shall be responsible for securing curative matter and pooling amendments or agreements required in connection with leases or oil and gas interests contributed by such party. Operator shall be responsible for the preparation and recording of pooling designations or declarations as well as the conduct of hearings before governmental agencies for the securing of spacing or pooling orders. This shall not prevent any party from appearing on its own behalf at any such hearing. Costs incurred by Operator in procuring spacing or pooling orders, including fees paid to outside attorneys and landmen, shall be borne by the Drilling Parties.

No well shall be drilled on the Contract Area until after (1) the title to the drillsite or drilling unit has been examined as above provided, and (2) the title has been approved by the examining attorney or title has been accepted by Operator or, at Operator’s election, all of the parties who are elect to par- ticipate in the drilling of the well.

B. Loss of Title:

1. Failure of Title: Should any oil and gas interest or lease, or interest therein, be lost through failure of title, which loss results in a reduction of interest from that shown on Exhibit “A”, the party contributing the affected lease or interest shall have ninety (90) days from final determination of title failure to acquire a new lease or other instrument curing the entirety of the title failure, which acquisition will not be subject to Article VIII.B., and failing to do so, this agreement, nevertheless, shall continue in force as to all remaining oil and gas leases and interests: and,

(a) The party whose oil and gas lease or interest is affected by the title failure shall bear alone the entire loss and it shall not be entitled to recover from Operator or the other parties any development or operating costs which it may have theretofore paid or incurred, but there shall be no additional liability on its part to the other parties hereto by reason of such title failure;

(b) There shall be no retroactive adjustment of expenses incurred or revenues received from the operation of the interest which has been lost, but the interests of the parties shall be revised on an acreage basis, as of the time it is determined finally that title failure has occurred, so that the interest of the party whose lease or interest is affected by the title failure will thereafter be reduced in the Contract Area by the amount of the interest lost;

(c) If the proportionate interest of the other parties hereto in any producing well theretofore drilled on the Contract Area is increased by reason of the title failure, the party whose title has failed shall receive the proceeds attributable to the increase in such in- terest (less costs and burdens attributable thereto) until it has been reimbursed for unrecovered costs paid by it in connection with such well;

(d) Should any person not a party to this agreement, who is determined to be the owner of any interest in the title which has failed, pay in any manner any part of the cost of operation, development, or equipment, such amount shall be paid to the party or parties who bore the costs which are so refunded;

(e) Any liability to account to a third party for prior production of oil and gas which arises by reason of title failure shall be borne by the party or parties whose title failed in the same proportions in which they shared in such prior production; and,

(f) No charge shall be made to the joint account for legal expenses, fees or salaries, in connection with the defense of the interest claimed by any party hereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each shall defend title to its interest and bear all expenses in connection therewith.

2. Loss by Non-Payment or Erroneous Payment of Amount Due: If, through mistake or oversight, any rental, shut-in well payment, minimum royalty or royalty payment, is not paid or is erroneously paid, and as a result a lease or interest therein terminates, there shall be no monetary liability against the party who failed to make such payment. Unless the party who failed to make the required payment secures a new lease covering the same interest within ninety (90) days from the discovery of the failure to make proper payment, which acquisition will not be subject to Article VIII.B., the interests of the parties shall be revised on an acreage basis, effective as of the date of termination of the lease involved, and the party who failed to make proper payment will no longer be credited with an interest in the Contract Area on account of ownership of the lease or interest which has terminated. In the event the party who failed to make the required payment shall not have been fully reimbursed, at the time of the loss, from the proceeds of the sale of oil and gas attributable to the lost interest, calculated on an acreage basis, for the development and operating costs theretofore paid on account of such interest, it shall be reimbursed for unrecovered actual costs theretofore paid by it (but not for its share of the cost of any dry hole previously drilled or wells previously abandoned) from so much of the following as is necessary to effect reimbursement:

(a) Proceeds of oil and gas, less operating expenses, theretofore accrued to the credit of the lost interest, on an acreage basis, up to the amount of unrecovered costs;

(b) Proceeds, less operating expenses, thereafter accrued attributable to the lost interest on an acreage basis, of that portion of oil and gas thereafter produced and marketed (excluding production from any wells thereafter drilled) which, in the absence of such lease termination, would be attributable to the lost interest on an acreage basis, up to the amount of unrecovered costs, the proceeds of said portion of the oil and gas to be contributed by the other parties in proportion to their respective interest; and,

(c) Any monies, up to the amount of unrecovered costs, that may be paid by any party who is, or becomes, the owner of the interest lost, for the privilege of participating in the Contract Area or becoming a party to this agreement.

3. Other Losses: All losses of title incurred, other than those set forth in Articles IV.B.1. and IV.B.2. above, shall be joint losses and shall be borne by all parties in proportion to their interests. There shall be no readjustment of interests in the remaining portion of the Contract Area.

If Operator and its affiliate, MRC Rockies Company, terminates its legal existence, no longer owns an interest hereunder in the Contract Area, or is no longer capable of serving as Operator, Operator shall be deemed to have resigned without any action by Non-Operators, except the selection of a successor. Operator may be removed if it fails or refuses to carry out its duties hereunder, or becomes insolvent, bankrupt or is placed in receivership, by the affirmative vote of two (2) or more Non-Operators owning a majority interest based on ownership as shown on Exhibit “A” remaining after excluding the voting interest of Operator. Such resignation or removal shall not become effective until 7:00 o’clock A.M. on the first day of the calendar month following the expiration of ninety (90) days after the giving of notice of resignation by Operator or action by the Non-Operators to remove Operator, unless a successor Operator has been selected and assumes the duties of Operator at an earlier date. Operator, after effective date of resignation or removal, shall be bound by the terms hereof as a Non-Operator. A change of a corporate name or structure of Operator or transfer of Operator’s interest to any single affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor corporation shall not be the basis for removal of Operator.

2. Selection of Successor Operator: Upon the resignation or removal of Operator, a successor Operator shall be selected by the parties. The successor Operator shall be selected from the parties owning an interest in the Contract Area at the time such successor Operator is selected. The successor Operator shall be selected by the affirmative vote of two (2) or more parties owning a majority interest based on ownership as shown on Exhibit “A”; provided, however, if an Operator which has been removed fails to vote or votes only to succeed itself, the successor Operator shall be selected by the affirmative vote of two (2) or more parties owning a majority interest based on ownership as shown on Exhibit “A” remaining after excluding the voting interest of the Operator that was removed.

C. Employees:

The number of employees used by Operator in conducting operations hereunder, their selection, and the hours of labor and the compensation for services performed shall be determined by Operator, and all such employees shall be the employees of Operator. or its parent, Matador Resources Company.

D. Drilling Contracts:

All wells drilled on the Contract Area shall be drilled on a competitive contract basis at the usual rates prevailing in the area.

ARTICLE VI.

DRILLING AND DEVELOPMENT

A. Initial Well:

On or before the                     day of                         , (year)                        , Operator shall commence the drilling of a well for oil and gas at the following location:

The Initial Well shall mean the “Initial Test Well” and, if Participant elects option B, the “Second Test Well,” as defined in the Participation Agreement.

and shall thereafter continue the drilling of the well with due diligence to

unless granite or other practically impenetrable substance or condition in the hole, which renders further drilling impractical, is en-countered at a lesser depth, or unless all parties agree to complete or abandon the well at a lesser depth.

Operator shall make reasonable tests of all formations encountered during drilling which give indication of containing oil and gas in quantities sufficient to test, unless this agreement shall be limited in its application to a specific formation or formations, in which event Operator shall be required to test only the formation or formations to which this agreement may apply.

If, in Operator’s judgment, the well will not produce oil or gas in paying quantities, and it wishes to plug and abandon the well as a dry hole, the provisions of Article VI.E.1. shall thereafter apply.

B. Subsequent Operations:

1. Proposed Operations: Should any party hereto desire to drill any well on the Contract Area other than the well or wells provided for in Article VI.A., or to rework, deepen or plug back a dry hole drilled at the joint expense of all parties or a well jointly owned by all the parties and not then capable of producing in paying quantities, the party desiring to drill, rework, deepen or plug back such a well shall give the other parties written notice of the proposed operation, specifying the work to be performed, the location, proposed depth, objective formation and the estimated cost of the operation. The parties receiving such a notice shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice within which to notify the party wishing to do the work whether they elect to participate in the cost of the proposed operation. If a drilling rig is on location, notice of a proposal to rework, plug back or drill deeper may be given by telephone and the response period shall be limited to forty-eight (48) hours, exclusive inclusive of Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays. Failure of a party receiving such notice to reply within the period above fixed shall constitute an election by that party not to participate in the cost of the proposed operation. Any notice or response given by telephone shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than the Initial Test Well and the Second Test Well only MRC Rockies Company shall have the right to propose the drilling of a well pursuant to this Agreement.

If all parties elect to participate in such a proposed operation, Operator shall, within ninety (90) days after expiration of the notice period of thirty (30) days (or as promptly as possible after the expiration of the forty-eight (48) hour period when a drilling rig is on location, as the case may be), actually commence the proposed operation * and complete it with due diligence at the risk and expense of all parties hereto; provided, however, said commencement date may be extended upon written notice of same by Operator to the other parties, for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days if, in the sole opinion of Operator, such additional time is reasonably necessary to obtain permits from governmental authorities, surface rights (including rights-of-way) or appropriate drilling equipment, or to complete title examination or curative matter required for title approval or acceptance. Notwithstanding the force majeure provisions of Article XI, if the actual operation has not been commenced within the time provided (including any extension thereof as specifically permitted herein) and if any party hereto still desires to conduct said operation, written notice proposing same must be resubmitted to the other parties in accordance with the provisions hereof as if no prior proposal had been made.

*Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Operator or the participating parties from actually commencing the proposed Operation before the expiration of the notice period nor shall the timing of such commencement affect in any way the validity of a Party’s election or deemed election.

2. Operations by Less than All Parties: If any party receiving such notice as provided in Article VI.B.1. or VII.D.1. (Option No. 2) elects not to participate in the proposed operation, then, in order to be entitled to the benefits of this Article, the party or parties giving the notice and such other parties as shall elect to participate in the operation shall, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the notice period of thirty (30) days (or as promptly as possible after the expiration of the forty-eight (48) hour period when a drilling rig is on location, as the case may be) actually commence the proposed operation * and complete it with due diligence. Operator shall perform all work for the account of the Consenting Parties; provided, however, if no drilling rig or other equipment is on location, and if Operator is a Non-Consenting Party, the Consenting Parties shall either: (a) request Operator to perform the work required by such proposed operation for the account of the Consenting Parties, or (b) designate one (1) of the Consenting Parties as Operator to perform such work. Con- senting Parties, when conducting operations on the Contract Area pursuant to this Article VI.B.2., shall comply with all terms and conditions of this agreement.

*Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Operator or the participating parties from actually commencing the proposed Operation before the expiration of the notice period nor shall the timing of such commencement affect in any way the validity of a Party’s election or deemed election.

If less than all parties approve any proposed operation, the proposing party, immediately after the expiration of the applicable notice period, shall advise the Consenting Parties of the total interest of the parties approving such operation and its recommendation as to whether the Consenting Parties should proceed with the operation as proposed. Each Consenting Party, within forty-eight (48) hours (exclusive inclusive of Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays) after receipt of such notice, shall advise the proposing party of its desire to (a) limit participation to such party’s interest as shown on Exhibit “A” or (b) carry its proportionate part of Non-Consenting Parties’ interests, and failure to advise the proposing party shall be deemed an election under (a). In the event a drilling rig is on location, the time permitted for such a response shall not exceed a total of forty-eight (48) hours (inclusive of Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays). The proposing party, at its election, may withdraw such proposal if there is insufficient participation and shall promptly notify all parties of such decision. and pay all costs incurred as a result of such proposal and the withdrawal thereof.

The entire cost and risk of conducting such operations shall be borne by the Consenting Parties in the proportions they have elected to bear same under the terms of the preceding paragraph. Consenting Parties shall keep the leasehold estates involved in such operations free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of every kind created by or arising from the operations of the Consenting Parties. If such an operation results in a dry hole, the Consenting Parties shall plug and abandon the well and restore the surface location at their sole cost, risk and expense. If any well drilled, reworked, deepened or plugged back under the provisions of this Article results in a producer of oil and/or gas in paying quantities, the Consenting Parties shall complete and equip the well to produce at their sole cost and risk,

and the well shall then be turned over to Operator and shall be operated by it at the expense and for the account of the Consenting Parties. Upon commencement of operations for the drilling, reworking, deepening or plugging back of any such well by Consenting Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Article, each Non-Consenting Party shall be deemed to have relinquished to Consenting Parties, and the Consenting Parties shall own and be entitled to receive, in proportion to their respective interests, all of such Non-Consenting Party’s interest in the well and share of production therefrom until the proceeds of the sale of such share, calculated at the well, or market value thereof if such share is not sold, (after deducting production taxes, excise taxes, royalty, overriding royalty and other interests not excepted by Article III.D. payable out of or measured by the production from such well accruing with respect to such interest until it reverts) shall equal the total of the following:

400

(a) 100% of each such Non-Consenting Party’s share of the cost of any newly acquired surface equipment beyond the wellhead connections (including, but not limited to, stock tanks, separators, treaters, pumping equipment and piping), plus 400 400% of each such

Non-Consenting Party’s share of the cost of operation of the well commencing with first production and continuing until each such Non-Consenting Party’s relinquished interest shall revert to it under other provisions of this Article, it being agreed that each Non-Consenting Party’s share of such costs and equipment will be that interest which would have been chargeable to such Non-Consenting Party had it participated in the well from the beginning of the operations; and

(b) 400 % of that portion of the costs and expenses of drilling, reworking, deepening, plugging back, testing and completing,after deducting any cash contributions received under Article VIII.C., and         400        % of that portion of the cost of newly acquired equip-ment in the well (to and including the wellhead connections), which would have been chargeable to such Non-Consenting Party if it had participated therein.

An election not to participate in the drilling or the deepening of a well shall be deemed an election not to participate in any reworking or plugging back operation proposed in such a well, or portion thereof, to which the initial Non-Consent election applied that is conducted at any time prior to full recovery by the Consenting Parties of the Non-Consenting Party’s recoupment account. Any such reworking or plugging back operation conducted during the recoupment period shall be deemed part of the cost of operation of said well and there shall be added to the sums to be recouped by the Consenting Parties four one hundred percent 400 (400%) of that portion of the costs of the reworking or plugging back operation which would have been chargeable to such Non-Consenting Party had it participated therein. If such a reworking or plugging back operation is proposed during such recoupment period, the provisions of this Article VI.B. shall be applicable as between said Consenting Parties in said well.

During the period of time Consenting Parties are entitled to receive Non-Consenting Party’s share of production, or the proceeds therefrom, Consenting Parties shall be responsible for the payment of all production, severance, excise, gathering and other taxes, and all royalty, overriding royalty and other burdens applicable to Non-Consenting Party’s share of production not excepted by Article III.D.

In the case of any reworking, plugging back or deeper drilling operation, the Consenting Parties shall be permitted to use, free of cost, all casing, tubing and other equipment in the well, but the ownership of all such equipment shall remain unchanged; and upon abandonment of a well after such reworking, plugging back or deeper drilling, the Consenting Parties shall account for all such equipment to the owners thereof, with each party receiving its proportionate part in kind or in value, less cost of salvage. and, if an owner is a Non-Consenting Party, less such owner’s proportionate share of the cost of plugging and abandoning the well, which proportionate share shall be the same as such owner’s proportionate share in the most recent operation on the well in which such owner participated.

Within sixty (60) days after the completion of any operation under this Article, the party conducting the operations for the Consenting Parties shall furnish each Non-Consenting Party with an inventory of the equipment in and connected to the well, and an itemized statement of the cost of drilling, deepening, plugging back, testing, completing, and equipping the well for production; or, at its option, the operating party, in lieu of an itemized statement of such costs of operation, may submit a detailed statement of monthly billings. Each month thereafter, during the time the Consenting Parties are being reimbursed as provided above, the party conducting the operations for the Consenting Parties shall furnish the Non-Consenting Parties with an itemized statement of all costs and liabilities incurred in the operation of the well, together with a statement of the quantity of oil and gas produced from it and the amount of proceeds realized from the sale of the well’s working interest production during the preceding month. In determining the quantity of oil and gas produced during any month, Consenting Parties shall use industry accepted methods such as, but not limited to, metering or periodic well tests. Any amount realized from the sale or other disposition of equipment newly acquired in connection with any such operation which would have been owned by a Non-Consenting Party had it participated therein shall be credited against the total unreturned costs of the work done and of the equipment purchased in determining when the interest of such Non-Consenting Party shall revert to it as above provided; and if there is a credit balance, it shall be paid to such Non-Consenting Party.

ARTICLE VI

continued

If and when the Consenting Parties recover from a Non-Consenting Party’s relinquished interest the amounts provided for above, the relinquished interests of such Non-Consenting Party shall automatically revert to it, on the first day of the month following the month of payout and, from and after such reversion, such Non- Consenting Party shall own the same interest in such well, the material and equipment in or pertaining thereto, and the production therefrom as such Non-Consenting Party would have been entitled to had it participated in the drilling, completing reworking, deepening or plugging back of said well. Thereafter, such Non-Consenting Party shall be charged with and shall pay its proportionate part of the further costs of the operation of said well in accordance with the terms of this agreement and the Accounting Procedure attached hereto.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VI.B.2., it is agreed that without the mutual consent of all parties, no wells shall be completed in or produced from a source of supply from which a well located elsewhere on the Contract Area is producing, unless such well conforms to the then-existing well spacing pattern for such source of supply.

The provisions of this Article shall have no application whatsoever to the drilling of the initial well or the Second Test Well described in Article VI.A. except (a) as to Article VII.D.1. (Option No. 2), if selected, or (b) as to the reworking, completing deepening and plugging back of such initial well, or after itf has been drilled to the depth specified in Article VI.A. if it shall thereafter prove to be a dry hole or, if initially completed for production, ceases to be capable of producing producing in paying quantities.

3. Stand-By Time: When a well which has been drilled or deepened has reached its authorized depth and all tests have been completed, and the results thereof furnished to the parties, stand-by costs incurred pending response to a party’s notice proposing a reworking, deepening, plugging back or completing operation in such a well shall be charged and borne as part of the drilling or deepening operation just completed. Stand-by costs subsequent to all parties responding, or expiration of the response time permitted, whichever first occurs, and prior to agreement as to the participating interests of all Consenting Parties pursuant to the terms of the second grammatical paragraph of Article VI.B.2., shall be charged to and borne as part of the proposed operation, but if the proposal is subsequently withdrawn because of insufficient participation, such stand-by costs shall be allocated between the Consenting Parties in the proportion each Consenting Party’s interest as shown on Exhibit “A” bears to the total interest as shown on Exhibit “A” of all Consenting Parties.

4. Sidetracking: Except as hereinafter provided, those provisions of this agreement applicable to a “deepening” operation shall also be applicable to any proposal to directionally control and intentionally deviate a well from vertical so as to change the bottom hole location (herein call “sidetracking”), unless done to straighten the hole or to drill around junk in the hole or because of other mechanical difficulties. Any party having the right to participate in a proposed sidetracking operation that does not own an interest in the affected well bore at the time of the notice shall, upon electing to participate, tender to the well bore owners its proportionate share (equal to its interest in the sidetracking operation) of the value of that portion of the existing well bore to be utilized as follows:

(a) If the proposal is for sidetracking an existing dry hole, reimbursement shall be on the basis of the actual costs incurred in the initial drilling of the well down to the depth at which the sidetracking operation is initiated.

(b) If the proposal is for sidetracking a well which has previously produced, reimbursement shall be on the basis of the well’s salvable materials and equipment down to the depth at which the sidetracking operation is initiated, determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C”, less the estimated cost of salvaging and the estimated cost of plugging and abandoning.

In the event that notice for a sidetracking operation is given while the drilling rig to be utilized is on location, the response period shall be limited to forty-eight (48) hours, inclusive exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays; provided, however, any party may request and receive up to eight (8) additional days after expiration of the forty-eight (48) hours within which to respond by paying for all stand-by time incurred during such extended response period. If more than one party elects to take such additional time to respond to the notice, stand by costs shall be allocated between the parties taking additional time to respond on a day-to-day basis in the proportion each electing party’s interest as shown on Exhibit “A” bears to the total interest as shown on Exhibit “A” of all the electing parties. In all other instances the response period to a proposal for sidetracking shall be limited to thirty (30) days.

C. TAKING PRODUCTION IN KIND:

Each party shall have the option to take in kind or separately dispose of its proportionate share of all oil and gas produced from the Contract Area, exclusive of production which may be used in development and producing operations and in preparing and treating oil and gas for marketing purposes and production unavoidably lost. Any extra expenditure incurred in the taking in kind or separate disposition by any party of its proportionate share of the production shall be borne by such party. Any party taking its share of production in kind shall be required to pay for only its proportionate share of such part of Operator’s surface facilities which it uses.

In the event any party shall fail to make the arrangements necessary to take in kind or separately dispose of its proportionate share of the oil and/or gas produced from the Contract Area, Operator shall have the right, subject to any dedications to a gas contract and subject to the revocation at will by the party owning it, but not the obligation, to purchase such oil and/or gas or sell it to others at any time and from time to time, for the account of the non-taking party at a price negotiated in good faith by the Operator. at thebest price obtainable in the area for such production. Any such purchase or sale by Operator shall be subject always to the right of the owner of the production to exercise at any time its right to take in kind, or separately dispose of, its share of all oil and/or gas not previously delivered to a purchaser. Any purchase or sale by Operator of any other party’s share of oil and or gas shall be only for such reasonable periods of time as are consistent with the minimum needs of the industry under the particular circumstances, but in no event for a period in excess of one (1) year.

In the event one or more parties’ separate disposition of its share of the gas causes split-stream deliveries to separate pipelines and/or deliveries which on a day-to-day basis for any reason are not exactly equal to a party’s respective proportionate share of total gas sales to be allocated to it, the balancing or accounting between the respective accounts of the parties shall be in accordance with the any gas balancing agreement between the parties hereto, whether such an agreement is attached as Exhibit “E”. , or is a separate agreement.

D. Access to Contract Area and Information:

Each party shall have access to the Contract Area at all reasonable times, at its sole cost and risk to inspect or observe operations, and shall have access at reasonable times to information pertaining to the development or operation thereof, but only with respect to any well in which a party has elected to participate including Operator’s books and records relating thereto.

ARTICLE VII.

EXPENDITURES AND LIABILITY OF PARTIES

A. Liability of Parties:

The liability of the parties shall be several, not joint or collective. Each party shall be responsible only for its obligations, and shall be liable only for its proportionate share of the costs of developing and operating the Contract Area. Accordingly, the liens granted among the parties in Article VII.B. are given to secure only the debts of each severally. It is not the intention of the parties to create, nor shall this agreement be construed as creating, a mining or other partnership or association, or to render the parties liable as partners.

B. Liens and Payment Defaults:

Each Non-Operator grants to Operator a lien upon its oil and gas rights in the Contract Area, and a security interest in its share of oil and/or gas when extracted and its interest in all equipment, to secure payment of its share of expense, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Exhibit “C”. To the extent that Operator has a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state, Operator shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. The bringing of a suit and the obtaining of judgment by Operator for the secured indebtedness shall not be deemed an election of remedies or otherwise affect the lien rights or security interest as security for the payment thereof. In addition, upon default by any Non-Operator in the payment of its share of expense, Operator shall have the right, without prejudice to other rights or remedies, to collect from the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of such Non-Operator’s share of oil and/or gas until the amount owed by such Non-Operator, plus interest, has been paid. Each purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon Operator’s written statement concerning the amount of any default. Operator grants a like lien and security interest to the Non-Operators to secure payment of Operator’s proportionate share of expense.

If any party fails or is unable to pay its share of expense within sixty (60) days after rendition of a statement therefor by Operator, the non-defaulting parties, including Operator, shall, upon request by Operator, pay the unpaid amount in the proportion that the interest of each such party bears to the interest of all such parties. Each party so paying its share of the unpaid amount shall, to obtain reimbursement thereof, be subrogated to the security rights described in the foregoing paragraph.

C. Payments and Accounting:

Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, Operator shall promptly pay and discharge expenses incurred in the development and operation of the Contract Area pursuant to this agreement and shall charge each of the parties hereto with their respective proportionate shares upon the expense basis provided in Exhibit “C”. Operator shall keep an accurate record of the joint account hereunder, showing expenses incurred and charges and credits made and received.

Operator, at its election, shall have the right from time to time to demand and receive from the other parties payment in advance of their respective shares of the estimated amount of the expense to be incurred in operations hereunder during the next succeeding month, which right may be exercised only by submission to each such party of an itemized statement of such estimated expense, together with an invoice for its share thereof. Each such statement and invoice for the payment in advance of estimated expense shall be submitted on or before the 20th day of the next preceding month. Each party shall pay to Operator its proportionate share of such estimate within fifteen (15) days after such estimate and invoice is received. If any party fails to pay its share of said estimate within said time, the amount due shall bear interest as provided in Exhibit “C” until paid. Proper adjustment shall be made monthly between advances and actual expense and appropriate billings, credits or reimbursements shall thereupon be made to the end that each party shall bear and pay its proportionate share of actual expenses incurred, and no more.

D. Limitation of Expenditures:

1. Drill or Deepen: Without the consent of all parties, no well shall be drilled or deepened, except any well drilled or deepened pursuant to the provisions of Article VI.B.2. of this agreement. Consent to the drilling or deepening shall include:

When such well has reached its authorized depth, and all tests have been completed, and the results thereof furnished to the parties, Operator shall give immediate notice to the Non-Operators who have the right to participate in the completion costs. The parties receiving such notice shall have forty-eight (48) hours (exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays) in which to elect to participate in the setting of casing and the completion attempt. Such election, when made, shall include consent to all necessary expenditures for the completing and equipping of such well, including necessary tankage and/or surface facilities. Failure of any party receiving such notice to reply within the period above fixed shall constitute an election by that party not to participate in the cost of the completion attempt. If one or more, but less than all of the parties, elect to set pipe and to attempt a completion, the provisions of Article VI.B.2. hereof (the phrase “reworking, deepening or plugging back” as contained in Article VI.B.2. shall be deemed to include “completing”) shall apply to the operations thereafter conducted by less than all parties.

2. Rework or Plug Back: Without the consent of all parties, no well shall be reworked or plugged back except a well reworked or plugged back pursuant to the provisions of Article VI.B.2. of this agreement. Consent to the reworking or plugging back of a well shall include all necessary expenditures in conducting such operations and completing and equipping of said well, including necessary tankage and/or surface facilities.

3. Other Operations: Without the consent of all parties, Operator shall not undertake any single project reasonably estimated to require an expenditure in excess of Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($ 50,000.00 ) except in connection with a well, the drilling, reworking, deepening, completing, recompleting, or plugging back of which has been previously authorized by or pursuant to this agreement; provided, however, that, in case of explosion, fire, flood or other sudden emergency, whether of the same or different nature, Operator may take such steps and incur such expenses as in its opinion are required to deal with the emergency to safeguard life and property but Operator, as promptly as possible, shall report the emergency to the other parties. If Operator prepares an authority for expenditure (AFE) for its own use, Operator shall furnish any Non-Operator so requesting an information copy thereof for any single project costing in excess of Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($ 50,000.00 ) but less than the amount first set forth above in this paragraph. An AFE is an estimate only of costs and in no way shall the execution of an AFE limit the liability of any party.

E. Rentals, Shut-in Well Payments and Minimum Royalties:

Rentals, shut-in well payments and minimum royalties which may be required under the terms of any lease shall be paid by the party or parties who subjected such lease to this agreement at its or their expense. In the event two or more parties own and have con- tributed interests in the same lease to this agreement, such parties may designate one of such parties to make said payments for and on behalf of all such parties. Any party may request, and shall be entitled to receive, proper evidence of all such payments. In the event of failure to make proper payment of any rental, shut-in well payment or minimum royalty through mistake or oversight where such payment is required to continue the lease in force, any loss which results from such non-payment shall be borne in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.B.2.

Operator shall notify Non-Operator of the anticipated completion of a shut-in gas well, or the shutting in or return to production of a producing gas well, at least five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays), or at the earliest opportunity permitted by circumstances, prior to taking such action, but assumes no liability for failure to do so. In the event of failure by Operator to so notify Non-Operator, the loss of any lease contributed hereto by Non-Operator for failure to make timely payments of any shut-in well payment shall be borne jointly by the parties hereto under the provisions of Article IV.B.3.

F. Taxes:

Beginning with the first calendar year after the effective date hereof, Operator shall render for ad valorem taxation all property subject to this agreement which by law should be rendered for such taxes, and it shall pay all such taxes assessed thereon before they become delinquent. Prior to the rendition date, each Non-Operator shall furnish Operator information as to burdens (to include, but not be limited to, royalties, overriding royalties and production payments) on leases and oil and gas interests contributed by such Non- Operator. If the assessed valuation of any leasehold estate is reduced by reason of its being subject to outstanding excess royalties, overriding royalties or production payments, the reduction in ad valorem taxes resulting therefrom shall inure to the benefit of the owner or owners of such leasehold estate, and Operator shall adjust the charge to such owner or owners so as to reflect the benefit of such reduction. If the ad valorem taxes are based in whole or in part upon separate valuations of each party’s working interest, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, charges to the joint account shall be made and paid by the parties hereto in accordance with the tax value generated by each party’s working interest. Operator shall bill the other parties for their proportionate shares of all tax payments in the manner provided in Exhibit “C”.

If Operator considers any tax assessment improper, Operator may, at its discretion, protest within the time and manner prescribed by law, and prosecute the protest to a final determination, unless all parties agree to abandon the protest prior to final deter- mination. During the pendency of administrative or judicial proceedings, Operator may elect to pay, under protest, all such taxes and any interest and penalty. When any such protested assessment shall have been finally determined, Operator shall pay the tax for the joint account, together with any interest and penalty accrued, and the total cost shall then be assessed against the parties, and be paid by them, as provided in Exhibit “C”.

Each party shall pay or cause to be paid all production, severance, excise, gathering and other taxes imposed upon or with respect to the production or handling of such party’s share of oil and/or gas produced under the terms of this agreement.

G. Insurance:

At all times while operations are conducted hereunder, Operator shall comply with the workmen’s compensation law of the state where the operations are being conducted; provided, however, that Operator may be a self-insurer for liability under said com- pensation laws in which event the only charge that shall be made to the joint account shall be as provided in Exhibit “C”. Operator shall also carry or provide insurance for the benefit of the joint account of the parties as outlined in Exhibit “D”, attached to and made a part hereof. Operator shall require all contractors engaged in work on or for the Contract Area to comply with the workmen’s compensation law of the state where the operations are being conducted and to maintain such other insurance as Operator may require.

In the event automobile public liability insurance is specified in said Exhibit “D”, or subsequently receives the approval of the parties, no direct charge shall be made by Operator for premiums paid for such insurance for Operator’s automotive equipment.

ARTICLE VIII.

ACQUISITION, MAINTENANCE OR TRANSFER OF INTEREST

A. Surrender of Leases:

The leases covered by this agreement, insofar as they embrace acreage in the Contract Area, shall not be surrendered in whole or in part unless all parties consent thereto; however no consent shall be necessary to release a lease which has expired or otherwise terminated.

However, should any party desire to surrender its interest in any lease or in any portion thereof, and the other parties do not agree or consent thereto, the party desiring to surrender shall assign, without express or implied warranty of title, all of its interest in such lease, or portion thereof, and any well, material and equipment which may be located thereon and any rights in production thereafter secured, to the parties not consenting to such surrender. If the interest of the assigning party is or includes an oil and gas in- terest, the assigning party shall execute and deliver to the party or parties not consenting to such surrender an oil and gas lease covering such oil and gas interest for a term of one (1) year and so long thereafter as oil and/or gas is produced from the land covered thereby, such lease to be on the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. Upon such assignment or lease, the assigning party shall be relieved from all obligations thereafter accruing, but not theretofore accrued, with respect to the interest assigned or leased and the operation of any well attributable thereto, and the assigning party shall have no further interest in the assigned or leased premises and its equipment and production other than the royalties retained in any lease made under the terms of this Article. The party assignee or lessee shall pay to the party assignor or lessor the reasonable salvage value of the latter’s interest in any wells and equipment attributable to the assigned or leased acreage. The value of all material shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit “C”, less the estimated cost of salvaging and the estimated cost of plugging and abandoning. If the assignment or lease is in favor of more than one party, the interest shall be shared by such parties in the proportions that the interest of each bears to the total interest of all such parties.

Any assignment, lease or surrender made under this provision shall not reduce or change the assignor’s, lessor’s or surrendering party’s interest as it was immediately before the assignment, lease or surrender in the balance of the Contract Area; and the acreage assigned, leased or surrendered, and subsequent operations thereon, shall not thereafter be subject to the terms and provisions of this agreement.

B. Renewal or Extension of Leases:

If any party secures a renewal of any oil and gas lease subject to this agreement, all other parties shall be notified promptly, and shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice in which to elect to participate in the ownership of the renewal lease, insofar as such lease affects lands within the Contract Area, by paying to the party who acquired it their several proper proportionate shares of the acquisition cost allocated to that part of such lease within the Contract Area, which shall be in proportion to the interests held at that time by the parties in the Contract Area.

If some, but less than all, of the parties elect to participate in the purchase of a renewal lease, it shall be owned by the parties who elect to participate therein, in a ratio based upon the relationship of their respective percentage of participation in the Contract Area to the aggregate of the percentages of participation in the Contract Area of all parties participating in the purchase of such renewal lease. Any renewal lease in which less than all parties elect to participate shall not be subject to this agreement.

Each party who participates in the purchase of a renewal lease shall be given an assignment of its proportionate interest therein by the acquiring party.

The provisions of this Article shall apply to renewal leases whether they are for the entire interest covered by the expiring lease or cover only a portion of its area or an interest therein. Any renewal lease taken before the expiration of its predecessor lease, or taken or contracted for within six (6) months after the expiration of the existing lease shall be subject to this provision; but any lease taken or contracted for more than six (6) months after the expiration of an existing lease shall not be deemed a renewal lease and shall not be subject to the provisions of this agreement.

The provisions in this Article shall also be applicable to extensions of oil and gas leases.

C. Acreage or Cash Contributions:

While this agreement is in force, if any party receives contracts for a contribution of cash towards the drilling of a well or any other operation on the Contract Area, such contribution shall be paid to the party who conducted the drilling or other operation and shall be applied by it against the cost of such drilling or other operation. If the contribution be in the form of acreage, the party to whom the contribution is made shall promptly tender an assignment of the acreage, without warranty of title, to the Drilling Parties in the proportions

ARTICLE VIII

continued

said Drilling Parties shared the cost of drilling the well. Such acreage shall become a separate Contract Area and, to the extent possible, be governed by provisions identical to this agreement. Each party shall promptly notify all other parties of any acreage or cash contributions it may obtain in support of any well or any other operation on the Contract Area. The above provisions shall also be applicable to optional rights to earn acreage outside the Contract Area which are in support of a well drilled inside the Contract Area.

If any party contracts for any consideration relating to disposition of such party’s share of substances produced hereunder, such consideration shall not be deemed a contribution as contemplated in this Article VIII.C.

D. Maintenance of Uniform Interests:

For the purpose of maintaining uniformity of ownership in the oil and gas leasehold interests covered by this agreement, no party shall sell, encumber, transfer or make other disposition of its interest in the leases embraced within the Contract Area and in wells, equipment and production unless such disposition covers either:

1. the entire interest of the party in all leases and equipment and production; or

2. an equal undivided interest in all leases and equipment and production in the Contract Area.

Every such sale, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition made by any party shall be made expressly subject to this agreement and the party acquiring such interest shall ratify in writing and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Participation Agreement and shall be made without prejudice to the right of the other parties.

If, at any time the interest of any party is divided among and owned by four or more co-owners, Operator, at its discretion, may require such co-owners to appoint a single trustee or agent with full authority to receive notices, approve expenditures, receive billings for and approve and pay such party’s share of the joint expenses, and to deal generally with, and with power to bind, the co-owners of such party’s interest within the scope of the operations embraced in this agreement; however, all such co-owners shall have the right to enter into and execute all contracts or agreements for the disposition of their respective shares of the oil and gas produced from the Contract Area and they shall have the right to receive, separately, payment of the sale proceeds thereof.

E. Waiver of Rights to Partition:

If permitted by the laws of the state or states in which the property covered hereby is located, each party hereto owning an undivided interest in the Contract Area waives any and all rights it may have to partition and have set aside to it in severalty its undivided interest therein.

F. Preferential Right to Purchase:

Should any party desire to sell all or any part of its interests under this agreement, or its rights and interests in the Contract Area, it shall promptly give written notice to the other parties, with full information concerning its proposed sale, which shall include the name and address of the prospective purchaser (who must be ready, willing and able to purchase), the purchase price, and all other terms of the offer. The other parties shall then have an optional prior right, for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of the notice, to purchase on the same terms and conditions the interest which the other party proposes to sell; and, if this optional right is exercised, the purchasing parties shall share the purchased interest in the proportions that the interest of each bears to the total interest of all purchasing parties. However, there shall be no preferential right to purchase in those cases where any party wishes to mortgage its interests, or to dispose of its interests by merger, reorganization, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to a subsidiary or parent company or to a subsidiary of a parent company, or to any company in which any one party owns a majority of the stock.

ARTICLE IX.

INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ELECTION

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Participation Agreement, this This agreement is not intended to create, and shall not be construed to create, a relationship of partnership or an association for profit between or among the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any provision herein that the rights and liabilities hereunder are several and not joint or collective, or that this agreement and operations hereunder shall not constitute a partnership, if, for federal income tax purposes, any portion of this agreement and the operations hereunder, other than the portions specifically treated as a tax partnership and the terms of the Participation Agreement, are regarded as a partnership, each party hereby affected elects to be excluded from the application of all of the provisions of Subchapter “K”, Chapter 1, Subtitle “A”, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 1954, as permitted and authorized by Section 761 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to such portions of this agreement and the operations hereunder that are not specifically treated as a tax partnership under the Participation Agreement (the “Excluded Operations”). Operator is authorized and directed to execute on behalf of each party hereby affected such evidence of this election with respect to the Excluded Operations as may be required by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States or the Federal Internal Revenue Service, including specifically, but not by way of limitation, all of the returns, statements, and the data required by Federal Regulations 1.761. Should there be any requirement that each party hereby affected give further evidence of this election, with respect to the Excluded Operations, each such party shall execute such documents and furnish such other evidence as may be required by the Federal Internal Revenue Service or as may be necessary to evidence this election. No such party shall give any notices or take any other action inconsistent with the election made hereby. If any present or future income tax laws of the state or states in which the Contract Area is located or any future income tax laws of the United States contain provisions similar to those in Subchapter “K”, Chapter 1, Subtitle “A”, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 1954, under which an election similar to that provided by Section 761 of the Code is permitted, each party hereby affected shall make such election with respect to the Excluded Operations as may be permitted or required by such laws. In making the foregoing election, each such party states that the income derived by such party from operations hereunder can be adequately determined without the computation of partnership taxable income.

ARTICLE X.

CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS

Operator may settle any single uninsured third party damage claim or suit arising from operations hereunder if the expenditure does not exceed One Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($ 100,000.00) and if the payment is in complete settlement of such claim or suit. If the amount required for settlement exceeds the above amount, the parties hereto shall assume and take over the further handling of the claim or suit, unless such authority is delegated to Operator. All costs and expenses of handling, settling, or otherwise discharging such claim or suit shall be at the joint expense of the parties participating in the operation from which the claim or suit arises. If a claim is made against any party or if any party is sued on account of any matter arising from operations hereunder over which such individual has no control because of the rights given Operator by this agreement, such party shall immediately notify all other parties, and the claim or suit shall be treated as any other claim or suit involving operations hereunder.

ARTICLE XI.

FORCE MAJEURE

If any party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this agreement, other than the obligation to make money payments, that party shall give to all other parties prompt written notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it; thereupon, the obligations of the party giving the notice, so far as they are affected by the force majeure, shall be suspending during, but no longer than, the continuance of the force majeure. The affected party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the force majeure situation as quickly as practicable.

The requirement that any force majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor difficulty by the party involved, contrary to its wishes; how all such difficulties shall be handled shall be entirely within the discretion of the party concerned.

The term “force majeure”, as here employed, shall mean an act of God, strike, lockout, or other industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, blockade, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood, explosion, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, unavailability of equipment, and any other cause, whether of the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise, which is not reasonably within the control of the party claiming suspension.

ARTICLE XII.

NOTICES

All notices authorized or required between the parties and required by any of the provisions of this agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided, shall be given in writing by mail or telegram, postage or charges prepaid, or by telex or telecopier and addressed to the parties to whom the notice is given at the addresses listed on Exhibit “A”. The originating notice given under any provision hereof shall be deemed given only when received by the party to whom such notice is directed, and the time for such party to give any notice in response thereto shall run from the date the originating notice is received. The second or any responsive notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail or with the telegraph company, with postage or charges prepaid, or sent by telex or telecopier. Each party shall have the right to change its address at any time, and from time to time, by giving written notice thereof to all other parties.

ARTICLE XIII.

TERM OF AGREEMENT

This agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the oil and gas leases and/or oil and gas interests subject hereto for the period of time selected below; provided, however, no party hereto shall ever be construed as having any right, title or interest in or to any lease or oil and gas interest contributed by any other party beyond the term of this agreement.

þ    Option No. 1: So long as any of the oil and gas leases subject to this agreement remain or are continued in force as to any part of the Contract Area, whether by production, extension, renewal, or otherwise.

¨    Option No. 2: In the event the well described in Article VI.A., or any subsequent well drilled under any provision of this agreement, results in production of oil and/or gas in paying quantities, this agreement shall continue in force so long as any such well or wells produce, or are capable of production, and for an additional period of             days from cessation of all production; provided, however, if, prior to the expiration of such additional period, one or more of the parties hereto are engaged in drilling, reworking, deepening, plugging back, testing or attempting to complete a well or wells hereunder, this agreement shall continue in force until such operations have been completed and if production results therefrom, this agreement shall continue in force as provided herein. In the event the well described in Article VI.A., or any subsequent well drilled hereunder, results in a dry hole, and no other well is producing, or capable of producing oil and/or gas from the Contract Area, this agreement shall terminate unless drilling, deepening, plugging back or reworking operations are commenced within             days from the date of abandonment of said well.

It is agreed, however, that the termination of this agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability which has accrued or attached prior to the date of such termination.

PREPAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, and without prejudice to any other rights of the Operator, Operator will have the right to request and receive from each Non-Operator payment in advance of its respective share of (i) all or part of the total well cost for any well to be drilled hereunder to which such Non-Operator has consented, and (ii) the cost of any completion, reworking, recompletion, sidetracking, deepening, plugging back operation or any other operation hereunder to which such Non-Operator has consented (any such operation under clause (i) or (ii) being herein called a “Drilling Operation”). Such request for advance payment may be made on all Non-Operators or on any one Non-Operator in writing and may be either mailed, hand-delivered or transmitted by facsimile machine.

A Non-Operator receiving a request for advance payment will, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such request if a drilling rig is on location and within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such request in all other cases, pay to Operator in cash the full amount of such request. Operator will credit the amount to the Non-Operator’s account for the payment of such Non-Operator’s share of costs of such Drilling Operation and, following the end of each month, Operator will charge such account with such Non-Operator’s share of actual costs incurred during such month.

Payment of an advance will not relieve a Non-Operator of the obligation to pay such Non-Operator’s share of the actual cost of a Drilling Operation and, when the actual costs have been determined, Operator will adjust the accounts of the parties by refunding any net amounts due or invoicing the parties for additional sums owing, which additional sums shall be paid in accordance with the Accounting Procedure.

In the event a Non-Operator to which a request for advance payment was made does not, within the time and manner above provided, fully satisfy the request for advance payment as provided in this paragraph F, then Operator will put Non-Operator on notice that it is in default. Non-Operator will have thirty (30) days to cure said default by making the advance payment, and if not paid within said thirty (30) day period, Operator may, in its sole discretion, exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) if the advance was requested for any Drilling Operation, Operator may notify such Non-Operator that such Non-Operator is deemed to have relinquished its interest in the well or unit, if any, established for the well to which the Drilling Operation relates; (b) sue the Non-Operator who failed to pay as provided above for its proportionate share of expenses plus interest; or (c) exercise any and all other rights and remedies available to the Operator under this Agreement and applicable law. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the other parties hereto any and all documents, agreements and acknowledgments necessary to evidence any actions taken by the Operator pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph F. All remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative, and no failure to exercise or delay in exercising any such right will operate as a waiver thereof.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Operator shall not request from Non-Operator advance payment for the drilling of more than one (1) well at a time which, in any event, shall not be construed to limit the number of wells which MRC Rockies Company may propose at any time.

 

G.

OPERATOR’S MARKETING OF PRODUCTION/DISTRIBUTION OF REVENUE

Except to the extent any Non-Operator elects to take production attributable to its interest in kind, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Operator (1) shall market Non-Operator’s share of any oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons produced from any well drilled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement contemporaneously with and on the same terms and conditions as Operator is marketing its own or its affiliates’ share of oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons from the well(s) within the Contract Area; and (2) shall disburse all proceeds (less applicable severance and production taxes and, subject to the limitations set forth below, any transportation, marketing or other post-production charges) received from the sale of such oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons to Non-Operators and, subject to applicable lease provisions, their respective royalty owners in proportion to their revenue interests in the Contract Area. Such authority may be expressly revoked by written notice to Operator by the party desiring such revocation.


Operator is fully authorized to negotiate and enter into sales agreements for oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons on behalf of all Non-Operators hereto (who have not expressly revoked such authority) covering all such production from the Contract Area. Operator may choose to sell to affiliated or unaffiliated marketing companies, pipeline companies, end users or any other purchasers deemed acceptable in Operator’s sole opinion. Subject to the limitations set forth below, such sales made by Operator on behalf of Non-Operators shall bear a proportionate share of any post-production expenses charged to or deducted by these entities. Any sales contracts entered into by Operator prior to receipt of notice of revocation of authority shall be binding upon the party desiring such revocation until expiration of the term of the contract in question. All sales of oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons arranged by Operator shall be made on behalf of all Non-Operators hereto in proportion to their interest in the Contract Area. Operator shall negotiate the sale of oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons on a good faith, reasonable efforts basis, and shall obtain prices for the oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons of Alliance Capital Real Estate, Inc. that are no less favorable than those it obtains for the other Non-Operators, if any, but Operator shall have no fiduciary obligation to obtain the best price obtainable for such oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons on behalf of Non-Operators or their royalty owners. Non-Operators recognize that factors other than price are valid considerations in gas marketing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that Non-Operator shall bear and pay its proportionate share of (i) all actual direct costs and expenses incurred by Operator or its affiliates, including, without limitation, fuel, compression, and similar post-production costs, (ii) all reasonable indirect costs and expenses, including, without limitation, gathering or transportation fees charged by Operator or its affiliates, with respect to gathering lines and facilities constructed outside the Contract Area at such rates as are reasonable under the circumstances, and (iii) all actual third party charges, including charges for transportation and marketing.

If Operator markets oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons on behalf of Non-Operators, Non-Operators agree to indemnify and save Operator and its affiliates harmless from any claim, demands, actions, judgments, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, any fees, costs or expenses incurred in the enforcement of any indemnity or provision thereof) (“Claims”) that Operator may sustain as a result of its marketing efforts under this Agreement, excluding, however, any Claims arising from Operator’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Further, Non-Operators warrant that they have the right to dispose of their share of production from all wells drilled in the Contract Area. These indemnity and warranty provisions will survive the termination of this Agreement for the period of time when Operator markets oil, gas and/or associated hydrocarbons on behalf of Non-Operators, without regard to when the Claims may be asserted but subject to the ordinary rules of any applicable statutes of limitation.

If, at any time, Operator is required by any court, governmental agency or other entity to refund the proceeds received by Operator pursuant to the sale of oil, gas or hydrocarbons hereunder, Non-Operator agrees to reimburse Operator for that portion of the refund, including any applicable interest or penalties, attributable to the oil, gas and/or hydrocarbons sold by Operator on behalf of Non-Operator, within sixty (60) days from a reimbursement request from Operator and presentation of the applicable final order from such court, governmental agency or other entity ordering such refund. Said reimbursement obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement.

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE

JOINT OPERATIONS

I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

1.

Definitions

“Joint Property” shall mean the real and personal property subject to the agreement to which this Accounting Procedure is attached.

“Joint Operations” shall mean all operations necessary or proper for the development, operation, protection and maintenance of the Joint Property.

“Joint Account” shall mean the account showing the charges paid and credits received in the conduct of the Joint Operations and which are to be shared by the Parties.

“Operator” shall mean the party designated to conduct the Joint Operations.

“Non-Operators” shall mean the Parties to this agreement other than the Operator.

“Parties” shall mean Operator and Non-Operators.

“First Level Supervisors” shall mean those employees whose primary function in Joint Operations is the direct supervision of other employees and/or contract labor directly employed on the Joint Property in a field operating capacity.

“Technical Employees” shall mean those employees having special and specific engineering, geological or other professional skills, and whose primary function in Joint Operations is the handling of specific operating conditions and problems for the benefit of the Joint Property.

“Personal Expenses” shall mean travel and other reasonable reimbursable expenses of Operator’s employees.

“Material” shall mean personal property, equipment or supplies acquired or held for use on the Joint Property.

“Controllable Material” shall mean Material which at the time is so classified in the Material Classification Manual as most recently recommended by the Council or Petroleum Accountants Societies.

 

2.

Statement and Billings

Operator shall bill Non-Operators on or before the last day of each month for their proportionate share of the Joint Account for the preceding month. Such bills will be accompanied by statements which identify the authority for expenditure, lease or facility, and all charges and credits summarized by appropriate classifications of investment and expense except that items of Controllable Material and unusual charges and credits shall be separately identified and fully described in detail.

 

3.

Advances and Payments by Non-Operators

 

  A.

Unless otherwise provided for in the agreement, the Operator may require the Non-Operators to advance their share of estimated cash outlay for the succeeding month’s operation within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the billing or by the first day of the month for which the advance is required, whichever is later. Operator shall adjust each monthly billing to reflect advances received from the Non-Operators.

 

  B.

Each Non-Operator shall pay its proportion of all bills within fifteen (15) days after receipt. If payment is not made within such time, the unpaid balance shall bear interest monthly at the prime rate in effect at Comerica Bank, Texas on the first day of the month in which delinquency occurs plus 1% or the maximum contract rate permitted by the applicable usury laws in the state in which the Joint Property is located, whichever is the lesser, plus attorney’s fees, court costs, and other costs in connection with the collection of unpaid amounts.

 

4.

Adjustments

Payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of any Non-Operator to protest or question the correctness thereof; provided, however, all bills and statements rendered to Non-Operators by Operator during any calendar year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) months following the end of any such calendar year, unless within the said twenty-four (24) month period a Non-Operator takes written exception thereto and makes claim on Operator for adjustment. No adjustment favorable to Operator shall be made unless it is made within the same prescribed period. The provisions of this paragraph shall not prevent adjustments resulting from a physical inventory of Controllable Material as provided for in Section V.

  A.

A Non-Operator, upon notice in writing to Operator and all other Non-Operators, shall have the right to audit Operator’s accounts and records relating to the Joint Account for any calendar year within the twenty-four (24) month period following the end of such calendar year; provided, however, the making of an audit shall not extend the time for the taking of written exception to and the adjustments of accounts as provided for in Paragraph 4 of this Section I. Where there are two or more Non-Operators, the Non-Operators shall make every reasonable effort to conduct a joint audit in a manner which will result in a minimum of inconvenience to the Operator. Operator shall bear no portion of the Non-Operators’ audit cost incurred under this paragraph unless agreed to by the Operator. The audits shall not be conducted more than once each year without prior approval of Operator, except upon the resignation or removal of the Operator, and shall be made at the expense of those Non-Operators approving such audit.

 

  B.

The Operator shall reply in writing to an audit report within 180 days after receipt of such report.

 

6.

Approval By Non-Operators

Where an approval or other agreement of the Parties or Non-Operators is expressly required under other sections of this Accounting Procedure and if the agreement to which this Accounting Procedure is attached contains no contrary provisions in regard thereto, Operator shall notify all Non-Operators of the Operator’s proposal, and the agreement or approval of a majority in interest of the Non-Operators shall be controlling on all Non-Operators.

II. DIRECT CHARGES

Operator shall charge the Joint Account with the following items:

 

1.

Ecological and Environmental

Costs incurred for the benefit of the Joint Property as a result of governmental or regulatory requirements to satisfy environmental considerations applicable to the Joint Operations. Such costs may include surveys of an ecological or archaeological nature and pollution control procedures as required by applicable laws and regulations.

 

2.

Rentals and Royalties

Lease rentals and royalties paid by Operator for the Joint Operations.

 

3.

Labor

BALANCING AREA

 

  2.1

If this Agreement covers more than one Balancing Area, it shall be applied as if each Balancing Area were covered by separate but identical agreements. All balancing hereunder shall be on the basis of Gas taken from the Balancing Area measured in (Alternative 1) þ Mcfs or (Alternative 2) ¨ MMBtus.

 

  2.2

In the event that all or part of the Gas deliverable from a Balancing Area is or becomes subject to one or more maximum lawful prices, any Gas not subject to price controls shall be considered as produced from a single Balancing Area and Gas subject to each maximum lawful price category shall be considered produced from a separate Balancing Area.

 

3.

RIGHT OF PARTIES TO TAKE GAS

 

  3.1

Each Party desiring to take Gas will notify the Operator, or cause the Operator to be notified, of the volumes nominated, the name of the transporting pipeline and the pipeline contract number (if available) and meter station relating to such delivery, sufficiently in advance for the Operator, acting with reasonable diligence, to meet all nomination and other requirements. Operator is authorized to deliver the volumes so nominated and confirmed (if confirmation is required) to the transporting pipeline in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

A.A.P.L. FORM 610-E — GAS BALANCING AGREEMENT — 1992

 

 

  3.2

Each Party shall make a reasonable, good faith effort to take its Full Share of Current Production each month, to the extent that such production is required to maintain leases in effect, to protect the producing capacity of a well or reservoir, to preserve correlative rights, or to maintain oil production.

 

  3.3

When a Party fails for any reason to take its Full Share of Current Production (as such Share may be reduced by the right of the other Parties to make up for Underproduction as provided herein), the other Parties shall be entitled to take any Gas which such Party fails to take. To the extent practicable, such Gas shall be made available initially to each Underproduced Party in the proportion that its Percentage Interest in the Balancing Area bears to the total Percentage Interests of all Underproduced Parties desiring to take such Gas. If all such Gas is not taken by the Underproduced Parties, the portion not taken shall then be made available to the other Parties in the proportion that their respective Percentage Interests in the Balancing Area bear to the total Percentage Interests of such Parties.

 

  3.4

All Gas taken by a Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of whether such Party is underproduced or overproduced, shall be regarded as Gas taken for its own account with title thereto being in such taking Party.

 

  3.5

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, no Overproduced Party shall be entitled in any month to take any Gas in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of its Percentage Interest of the Balancing Area’s then-current Maximum Monthly Availability; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to the extent that it would preclude production that is required to maintain leases in effect, to protect the producing capacity of a well or reservoir, to preserve correlative rights, or to maintain oil production. “Maximum Monthly Availability” shall mean the maximum average monthly rate of production at which Gas can be delivered from the Balancing Area, as determined by the Operator, considering the maximum efficient well rate for each well within the Balancing Area, the maximum allowable(s) set by the appropriate regulatory agency, mode of operation, production facility capabilities and pipeline pressures.

 

  3.6

In the event that a Party fails to make arrangements to take its Full Share of Current Production required to be produced to maintain leases in effect, to protect the producing capacity of a well or reservoir, to preserve correlative rights, or to maintain oil production, the Operator may sell any part of such Party’s Full Share of Current Production that such Party fails to take for the account of such Party and render to such Party, on a current basis, the full proceeds of the sale, less any reasonable marketing, compression, treating, gathering or transportation costs incurred directly in connection with the sale of such Full Share of Current Production. In making the sale contemplated herein, the Operator shall be obligated only to obtain such price and conditions for the sale as are reasonable under the circumstances and shall not be obligated to share any of its markets. Any such sale by Operator under the terms hereof shall be only for such reasonable periods of time as are consistent with the minimum needs of the industry under the particular circumstances, but in no event for a period in excess of one year. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3.4 hereof, Gas sold by Operator for a Party under the provisions hereof shall be deemed to be Gas taken for the account of such Party.

 

4.

IN-KIND BALANCING

 

  4.1

Effective the first day of any calendar month following atleast thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Operator, any Underproduced Party may begin taking, in addition to its Full Share of Current Production and any Makeup Gas taken pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement, a share of current production determined by multiplying twenty-five percent (25%) of the Full Shares of Current Production of all Overproduced Parties by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Percentage Interest of such Underproduced Party and the denominator of which is the total of the Percentage Interests of all Underproduced Parties desiring to take Makeup Gas. In no event will an Overproduced Party be required to provide more than fifty percent (50%) of its Full Share of Current Production for Makeup Gas. The Operator will promptly notify all Overproduced Parties of the election of an Underproduced Party to begin taking Makeup Gas.

 

  4.2

¨    (Optional—Seasonal Limitation on Makeup - Option 1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, the average monthly amount of Makeup Gas taken by an Underproduced Party during the Winter Period pursuant to Section 4.1 shall not exceed the average monthly amount of Makeup Gas taken by such Underproduced Party during the                                          (        ) months immediately preceding the Winter Period.

 

  4.2

þ (Optional—Seasonal Limitation on Makeup - Option 2) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, no Overproduced Party will be required to provide more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its Full Share of Current Production for Makeup Gas during the Winter Period.

 

  4.3

þ (Optional) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, at such time and for so long as Operator, or (insofar as concerns production by the Operator) any Underproduced Party, determines in good faith that an Overproduced Party has produced all of its share of the ultimately recoverable reserves in the Balancing Area, such Overproduced Party may be required to make available for Makeup Gas, upon the demand of the Operator or any Underproduced Party, up to seventy-five percent (75%) of such Overproduced Party’s Full Share of Current Production, except during the Winter Period as noted in Section 4.2 above.

 

5.

STATEMENT OF GAS BALANCES

 

  5.1

The Operator will maintain appropriate accounting on a monthly and cumulative basis of the volumes of Gas that each Party is entitled to receive and the volumes of Gas actually taken or sold for each Party’s account. Within forty-five (45) days after the month of production, the Operator will furnish a statement for such month showing (1) each Party’s Full Share of Current Production, (2) the total volume of Gas actually taken or sold for each Party’s account, (3) the difference between the volume taken by each Party and that Party’s Full Share of Current Production, (4) the Overproduction or Underproduction of each Party, and (5) other data as recommended by the provisions of the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies Bulletin No.24, as amended or supplemented hereafter. Each Party taking Gas will promptly provide to the Operator any data required by the Operator for preparation of the statements required hereunder.

 

  5.2

If any Party fails to provide the data required herein for four (4) consecutive production months, the Operator, or where the Operator has failed to provide data, another Party, may audit the production and Gas sales and transportation volumes of the non-reporting Party to provide the required data. Such audit shall be conducted only after reasonable notice and during normal business hours in the office of the Party whose records are being audited. All costs associated with such audit will be charged to the account of the Party failing to provide the required data.

 

6.

PAYMENTS ON PRODUCTION

 

  6.1

Each Party taking Gas shall pay or cause to be paid all production and severance taxes due on all volumes of Gas actually taken by such Party.

 

  6.2

¨    (Alternative 1—Entitlements) Each Party shall pay or cause to be paid all Royalty due with respect to Royalty owners to whom it is accountable as if such Party were taking its Full Share of Current Production, and only its Full Share of Current Production.

 

- 2 -


A.A.P.L. FORM 610-E — GAS BALANCING AGREEMENT — 1992

 

  6.2.1

¨    (Optional—For use only with Section 6.2—Alternative I—Entitlement) Upon written request of a Party taking less than its Full Share of Current Production in a given month (“Current Underproducer”), any Party taking more than its Full Share of Current Production in such month (“Current Overproducer”) will pay to such Current Underproducer an amount each month equal to the Royalty percentage of the proceeds received by the Current Overproducer for that portion of the Current Underproducer’s Full Share of Current Production taken by the Current Overproducer; provided, however, that such payment will not exceed the Royalty percentage that is common to all Royalty burdens in the Balancing Area. Payments made pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 will be deemed payments to the Underproduced Party’s Royalty owners for purposes of Section 7.5.

 

  6.2

þ    (Alternative 2—Sales) Each Party shall pay or cause to be paid Royalty due with respect to Royalty owners to whom it is accountable based on the volume of Gas actually taken for its account.

 

  6.3

In the event that any governmental authority requires that Royalty payments be made on any other basis than that provided for in this Section 6, each Party agrees to make such Royalty payments accordingly, commencing on the effective date required by such governmental authority, and the method provided for herein shall be thereby superseded.

 

7.

CASH SETTLEMENTS

 

  7.1

Upon the earlier of the plugging and abandonment of the last producing interval in the Balancing Area, the termination of the Operating Agreement or any pooling or unit agreement covering the Balancing Area, or at any time no Gas is taken from the Balancing Area for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, any Party may give written notice calling for cash settlement of the Gas production imbalances among the Parties. Such notice shall be given to all Parties in the Balancing Area.

 

  7.2

Within sixty (60) days after the notice calling for cash settlement under Section 7.1, the Operator will distribute to each Party a Final Gas Settlement Statement detailing the quantity of Overproduction owed by each Overproduced Party to each Underproduced Party and identifying the month to which such Overproduction is attributed, pursuant to the methodology set out in Section 7.4.

 

  7.3

þ    (Alternative I—Direct Party-to-Party Settlement) Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Final Gas Settlement Statement, each Overproduced Party will pay to each Underproduced Party entitled to settlement the appropriate cash settlement, accompanied by appropriate accounting detail. At the time of payment, the Overproduced Party will notify the Operator of the Gas imbalance settled by the Overproduced Party’s payment.

 

  7.3

¨    (Alternative 2—Settlement Through Operator) Within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Final Gas Settlement Statement, each Overproduced Party will send its cash settlement, accompanied by appropriate accounting detail, to the Operator. The Operator will distribute the monies so received, along with any settlement owed by the Operator as an Overproduced Party, to each Underproduced Party to whom settlement is due within ninety (90) days after issuance of the Final Gas Settlement Statement. In the event that any Overproduced Party fails to pay any settlement due hereunder, the Operator may turn over responsibility for the collection of such settlement to the Party to whom it is owed, and the Operator will have no further responsibility with regard to such settlement.

 

  7.3.1

¨    (Optional—For use only with Section 7.3, Alternative 2—Settlement Through Operator) Any Party shall have the right at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all other Parties to demand that any settlements due such Party for Overproduction be paid directly to such Party by the Overproduced Party, rather than being paid through the Operator. In the event that an Overproduced Party pays the Operator any sums due to an Underproduced Party at any time after thirty (30) days following the receipt of the notice provided for herein, the Overproduced Party will continue to be liable to such Underproduced Party for any sums so paid, until payment is actually received by the Underproduced Party.

 

  7.4

þ    (Alternative 1—Historical Sales Basis) The amount of the cash settlement will be based on the proceeds received by the Overproduced Party under an Arm’s Length Agreement for the Gas taken from time to time by the Overproduced Party in excess of the Overproduced Party’s Full Share of Current Production. Any Makeup Gas taken by the Underproduced Party prior to monetary settlement hereunder will be applied to offset Overproduction chronologically in the order of accrual.

 

  7.4

¨    (Alternative 2—Most Recent Sales Basis) The amount of the cash settlement will be based on the proceeds received by the Overproduced Party under an Arm’s Length Agreement for the volume of Gas that constituted Overproduction by the Overproduced Party from the Balancing Area. For the purpose of implementing the cash settlement provision of the Section 7, an Overproduced Party will not be considered to have produced any of an Underproduced Party’s share of Gas until the Overproduced Party has produced cumulatively all of its Percentage Interest share of the Gas ultimately produced from the Balancing Area.

 

  7.5

The values used for calculating the cash settlement under Section 7.4 will include all proceeds received for the sale of the Gas by the Overproduced Party calculated at the Balancing Area, after deducting any production or severance taxes paid and any Royalty actually paid by the Overproduced Party to an Underproduced Party’s Royalty owner(s), to the extent said payments amounted to a discharge of said Underproduced Party’s Royalty obligation, as well as any reasonable marketing, compression, treating, gathering or transportation costs incurred directly in connection with the sale of the Overproduction.

 

  7.5.1

þ     (Optional—For Valuation Under Percentage of Proceeds Contracts) For Overproduction sold under a gas purchase contract providing for payment based on a percentage of the proceeds obtained by the purchaser upon resale of residue gas and liquid hydrocarbons extracted at a gas processing plant, the values used for calculating cash settlement will include proceeds received by the Overproduced Party for both the liquid hydrocarbons and the residue gas attributable to the Overproduction.

 

  7.5.2

þ     (Optional—Valuation for Processed Gas—Option 1) For Overproduction processed for the account of the Overproduced Party at a gas processing plant for the extraction of liquid hydrocarbons, the full quantity of the Overproduction will be valued for purposes of cash settlement at the prices received by the Overproduced Party for the sale of the residue gas attributable to the Overproduction without regard to proceeds attributable to liquid hydrocarbons which may have been extracted from the Overproduction.

 

  7.5.2

¨    (Optional—Valuation for Processed Gas—Option 2) For Overproduction processed for the account of the Overproduced Party at a gas processing plant for the extraction of liquid hydrocarbons, the values used for calculating cash settlement will include the proceeds received by the Overproduced Party for the sale of the liquid hydrocarbons extracted from the Overproduction, less the actual reasonable costs incurred by the Overproduced Party to process the Overproduction and to transport, fractionate and handle the liquid hydrocarbons extracted therefrom prior to sale.

 

- 3 -


A.A.P.L. FORM 610-E—GAS BALANCING AGREEMENT—1992

 

  7.6

To the extent the Overproduced Party did not sell all Overproduction under an Arm’s Length Agreement, the cash settlement will be based on the weighted\ average price received by the Overproduced Party for any gas sold from the Balancing Area under Arm’s Length Agreements during the months to which such Overproduction is attributed. In the event that no sales under Arm’s Length Agreements were made during any such month, the cash settlement for such month will be based on the spot sales prices published for the applicable geographic area during such month in a mutually acceptable pricing bulletin.

 

  7.7

Interest compounded at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest applicable to the Balancing Area, whichever is less, will accrue for all amounts due under Section 7.1 beginning the first day following the date payment is due pursuant to Section 7.3. Such interest shall be borne by the Operator or any Overproduced Party in the proportion that their respective delays beyond the deadlines set out in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 contributed to the accrual of the interest.

 

  7.8

In lieu of the cash settlement required by Section 7.3, an Overproduced Party may deliver to the Underproduced Party an offer to settle its Overproduction in-kind and at such rates, quantities, times and sources as may be agreed upon by the Underproduced Party. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the manner in which such in-kind settlement gas will be furnished within sixty (60) days after the Overproduced Party’s offer to settle in kind, which period may be extended by agreement of said Parties, the Overproduced Party shall make a cash settlement as provided in Section 7.3. The making of an in-kind settlement offer under this Section 7.8 will not delay the accrual of interest on the cash settlement should the Parties fail to reach agreement on an in-kind settlement.

 

  7.9

þ (Optional—For Balancing Areas Subject to Federal Price Regulation) That portion of any monies collected by an Overproduced Party for Overproduction which is subject to refund by orders of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or other governmental authority may be withheld by the Overproduced Party until such prices are fully approved by such governmental authority, unless the Underproduced Party furnishes a corporate undertaking, acceptable to the Overproduced Party, agreeing to hold the Overproduced Party harmless from financial loss due to refund orders by such governmental authority.

 

  7.10

þ (Optional—Interim Cash Balancing) At any time during the term of this Agreement, any Overproduced Party may, in its sole discretion, make cash settlement(s) with the Underproduced Parties covering all or part of its outstanding Gas imbalance, provided that such settlements must be made with all Underproduced Parties proportionately based on the relative imbalances of the Underproduced Parties, and provided further that such settlements may not be made more often than once every twenty-four (24) months. Such settlements will be calculated in the same manner provided above for final cash settlements. The Overproduced Party will provide Operator a detailed accounting of any such cash settlement within thirty (30) days after the settlement is made.

 

8.

TESTING

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Party shall have the right, from time to time, to produce and take up to one hundred percent (100%) of a well’s entire Gas stream to meet the reasonable deliverability test(s) required by such Party’s Gas purchaser, and the right to take any Makeup Gas shall be subordinate to the right of any Party to conduct such tests; provided, however, that such tests shall be conducted in accordance with prudent operating practices only after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Operator and shall last no longer than seventy-two (72) hours.

 

9.

OPERATING COSTS

Nothing in this Agreement shall change or affect any Party’s obligation to pay its proportionate share of all costs and liabilities incurred in operations on or in connection with the Balancing Area, as its share thereof is set forth in the Operating Agreement, irrespective of whether any Party is at any time selling and using Gas or whether such sales or use are in proportion to its Percentage Interest in the Balancing Area.

 

10.

LIQUIDS

The Parties shall share proportionately in and own all liquid hydrocarbons recovered with Gas by field equipment operated for the joint account in accordance with their Percentage Interests in the Balancing Area.

 

11.

AUDIT RIGHTS

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties hereto, and further notwithstanding any termination or cancellation of this Agreement, for a period of two (2) years from the end of the calendar year in which any information to be furnished under Section 5 or 7 hereof is supplied, any Party shall have the right to audit the records of any other Party regarding quantity, including but not limited to information regarding Btu-content. Any Underproduced Party shall have the right for a period of two (2) years from the end of the calendar year in which any cash settlement is received pursuant to Section 7 to audit the records of any Overproduced Party as to all matters concerning values, including but not limited to information regarding prices and disposition of Gas from the Balancing Area. Any such audit shall be conducted at the expense of the Party or Parties desiring such audit, and shall be conducted, after reasonable notice, during normal business hours in the office of the Party whose records are being audited. Each Party hereto agrees to maintain records as to the volumes and prices of Gas sold each month and the volumes of Gas used in its own operations, along with the Royalty paid on any such Gas used by a Party in its own operations. The audit rights provided for in this Section 11 shall be in addition to those provided for in Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

 

12.

13.

ASSIGNMENT AND RIGHTS UPON ASSIGNMENT

 

  13.1

Subject to the provisions of Sections 13.2 (if elected) and 13.3 hereof, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, if any Party assigns (including any sale, exchange or other transfer) any of its working interest in the Balancing Area when such Party is an Underproduced or Overproduced Party, the assignment or other act of transfer shall, insofar as the Parties hereto are concerned, include all interest of the assigning or transferring Party in the Gas, all rights to receive or obligations to provide or take Makeup Gas and all rights to receive or obligations to make any monetary payment which may ultimately be due hereunder, as applicable. Operator and each of the other Parties hereto shall thereafter treat the assignment accordingly, and the assigning or transferring Party shall look solely to its assignee or other transferee for any interest in the Gas or monetary payment that such Party may have or to which it may be entitled, and shall cause its assignee or other transferee to assume its obligations hereunder.

 

  13.2

þ (Optional—Cash Settlement Upon Assignment) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including but not limited to the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof) or in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 hereof, in the event an Overproduced Party intends to sell, assign, exchange or otherwise transfer any of its interest in a Balancing Area, such Overproduced Party shall notify in writing the other working interest owners who are Parties hereto in such Balancing Area of such fact at least thirty (30) days prior to closing the transaction. Thereafter, any Underproduced Party may demand from such Overproduced Party in writing, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Overproduced Party’s notice, a cash settlement of its Underproduction from the Balancing Area. The Operator shall be notified of any such demand and of any cash settlement pursuant to this Section 13, and the Overproduction and Underproduction of each Party shall be adjusted accordingly. Any cash settlement pursuant to this Section 13 shall be paid by the Overproduced Party on or before the earlier to occur (i) of sixty (60) days after receipt of the Underproduced Party’s demand or (ii) at the closing of the transaction in which the Overproduced Party sells, assigns, exchanges or otherwise transfers its interest in a Balancing Area on the same basis as otherwise set forth in Sections 7.3 through 7.6 hereof, and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 7.7 hereof, beginning sixty (60) days after the Overproduced Party’s sale, assignment, exchange or transfer of its interest in the Balancing Area for any amounts not paid. Provided, however, if any Underproduced Party does not so demand such cash settlement of its Underproduction from the Balancing Area, such Underproduced Party shall look exclusively to the assignee or other successor in interest of the Overproduced Party giving notice hereunder for the satisfaction of such Underproduced Party’s Underproduction in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof.

 

  13.3

WHEREAS, MATADOR PRODUCTION COMPANY, as Operator, having a notice address of One Lincoln Centre, 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500, Dallas, TX 75240, and ROXANNA ROCKY MOUNTAINS, LLC, having a notice address of 952 Echo Lane, Suite 364, Houston, TX 77024, MRC ROCKIES COMPANY, having a notice address of One Lincoln Centre, 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75240, and ALLIANCE CAPITAL REAL ESTATE, INC., having a notice address of c/o AllianceBernstein L.P., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, as Non-Operators, have entered into that certain Operating Agreement dated as of May 14, 2010, covering oil and gas operations being conducted on those certain oil, gas and mineral leases described in Exhibit “A” (the “Contract Area” or the “Leases”) attached hereto, as said exhibit may be amended from time to time; and

WHEREAS, Operator and Non-Operators desire to give third parties record notice of the existence of said Operating Agreement and of the rights and obligations of Operator and Non-Operator thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Operator and Non-Operators hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

I.

The Operating Agreement is on an A.A.P.L. form 610-1982 Model Form Operating Agreement, as amended by the parties, plus attachments.

II.

Article VI.C. grants each party to the Operating Agreement the right to take in kind its proportionate share of all oil and gas produced from the Contract Area. Additionally, the parties have agreed to be bound by a Gas Balancing Agreement which is attached as Exhibit “E” to the Operating Agreement.

III.

Pursuant to Article VII.B., each Non-Operator grants to Operator a lien upon its oil and gas rights in the Contract Area, and a security interest in its share of oil or gas when extracted and its interest in all equipment, to secure payment of its share of expense under the Operating Agreement, together with interest thereon in accordance with the Operating Agreement. Upon default by Non-Operator in the payment of its share of expense, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies, Operator shall have the right to collect from the purchaser of production from the Contract Area the proceeds from the sale of such Non-Operator’s share of oil or gas until the amount owed by Non-Operator, including interest, has been paid. Each purchaser of oil and gas shall be entitled to rely upon Operator’s written statement concerning the amount of any default. Operator grants a like lien and security interest to the Non-Operator to secure payment of Operator’s proportionate share of expense.

 

Page 1 of 5


If any party fails or is unable to pay its share of expense within sixty (60) days after rendition of a statement therefor by Operator, the non-defaulting parties, including Operator, shall, upon request by Operator, pay the unpaid amount in the proportion that the interest of each such party bears to the interest of all such parties. Each party so paying its share of the unpaid amount shall, to obtain reimbursement thereof, be subrogated to the security rights described in the foregoing paragraph.

IV.

This Memorandum shall constitute a Financing Statement covering oil and gas extracted from the Contract Area to the extent that such oil and gas is owned by a defaulting party under the Operating Agreement. This Financing Statement shall be filed in the real estate records of any county in which the Contract Area is situated and/or with the Secretary of State and shall be filed by Operator upon its own initiative or upon the request of any Non-Operator. Each of the undersigned parties shall be considered as both a debtor, to the extent that such party has failed to pay its share of expense, and as a secured party.

V.

Certain provisions of the Operating Agreement are governed and controlled by the surviving provisions of that certain unrecorded Participation Agreement dated May 14, 2010, by and between Roxanna Oil, Inc., Roxanna Rocky Mountains, LLC, MRC Rockies Company, Matador Resources Company, Matador Production Company, Alliance Capital Real Estate, Inc., and AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Participation Agreement”). Every sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition made by any party to the Operating Agreement and/or the Participation Agreement shall be made expressly subject to the Operating Agreement and the person acquiring such interest shall ratify in writing and agree to be bound by the terms of the Operating Agreement and the surviving provisions of the Participation Agreement and such assignment, transfer or other disposition shall be made without prejudice to the rights of the other parties.

VI.

ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT “G” TO AND MADE A PART OF THE OPERATING AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG ROXANNA ROCKY MOUNTAINS, LLC, MRC ROCKIES COMPANY, MATADOR PRODUCTION COMPANY, AND ALLIANCE CAPITAL REAL ESTATE, INC.

TAX PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, ROXANNA ROCKY MOUNTAINS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Roxanna”), MRC ROCKIES COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“Matador” and together with Roxanna collectively referred to as “Owners”), ROXANNA OIL, INC., a Texas corporation (“ROI”), MATADOR RESOURCES COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“MRC”), MATADOR PRODUCTION COMPANY, a Texas corporation (“Operator”), ALLIANCE CAPITAL REAL ESTATE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Participant”) and ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AllianceBernstein”) (collectively, the “Parties”) have entered into that certain Participation Agreement dated as of May 14, 2010 (the “Participation Agreement”), and Operator, Matador, Roxanna and Participant have entered into that certain Operating Agreement dated as of May 14, 2010 (the “Operating Agreement”). The Participation Agreement, the Operating Agreement and the Exhibits to the Participation Agreement and the Operating Agreement are herein collectively referred to as the “Base Agreements”.

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the arrangements and undertakings evidenced by the Base Agreements in conjunction with their resulting co-ownership of interests in the Subject Oil and Gas Assets, pursuant to the terms of such Base Agreements, create a partnership solely for purposes of federal income taxation and certain state income tax laws that incorporate or follow federal income tax principles (the “Tax Partnership”);

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth the terms and provisions under which the Tax Partnership will exist and be accounted for as between the Parties; and

WHEREAS, except as may be otherwise provided herein, terms defined and used in the Base Agreements have the same meaning when used herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby enter into the following agreements relating to the Tax Partnership:

A

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Designation of Documents. This agreement is referred to in, and is attached as exhibits to, the Participation Agreement and the Operating Agreement and is hereinafter referred to as the “Tax Partnership Agreement.” The Tax Partnership Agreement shall govern the ownership interests of the Parties with respect to only the Subject Oil and Gas Assets and shall be effective as of the date of the Participation Agreement.

 

1


2. Relationship of the Parties. The Parties intend and expect that the transactions contemplated by the Base Agreements will be treated, for purposes of federal income taxation and for purposes of certain state income tax laws that incorporate or follow federal income tax principles, as resulting in (a) the creation of a partnership in which Participant and the Owners are treated as partners, with the Tax Partnership being treated for tax purposes as holding equitable title to, and engaging in all activities of the Parties with respect to, the Subject Oil and Gas Assets, (b) a contribution by the Owners to the Tax Partnership of their interests in the Leases to the extent they cover the Initial Prospect Area and a commitment by Participant to make capital contributions to the Tax Partnership in order to fund the costs allocable to it under Section 1.2 of the Participation Agreement in exchange for a 50% interest in the Tax Partnership, (c) if Participant elects Option B, a contribution by the Owners to the Tax Partnership of their interests in the Leases to the extent they cover the Second Prospect Area and a commitment by Participant to make capital contributions to the Tax Partnership in order to fund the costs allocable to it under Section 2.3 of the Participation Agreement, and (d) the realization by the Tax Partnership of all items of income or gain and the incurrence by the Tax Partnership of all items of costs or expenses attributable to the ownership, operation or disposition of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets, notwithstanding that such items are realized, paid or incurred by the Parties individually.

3. Priority of Tax Partnership Agreement. The provisions of this Tax Partnership Agreement override any conflicting or inconsistent provisions in the Base Agreements.

B

TAX MATTERS

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Tax Partnership Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Party, the deficit balance, if any, in the Party’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Allocation Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Credit to the Capital Account any amounts which the Party is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) Debit to the Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6).

The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

2


“Allocation Year” means (i) the period commencing on the date of the Participation Agreement and ending on December 31, 2010, (ii) any subsequent period commencing on the first day of January and ending on the last day of December of the same year, or (iii) any portion of the period described in clauses (i) or (ii) for which the Tax Partnership is required to allocate items of Tax Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 4.

“Book Basis” means the Contribution Value of contributed property and the cost of other property acquired by the Tax Partnership, increased by any cost subsequently capitalized to such property and decreased by any depreciation, simulated depletion, or other amortization taken for Code Section 704(b) book purposes. Book Basis (i) that is attributable to oil and gas property included in the Subject Oil and Gas Assets treated as contributed to the Tax Partnership by Matador and Roxanna shall be allocated to the Parties in accordance with their Participating Interests and (ii) that is attributable to capitalized acquisition and development costs or Contribution Value of any other Subject Oil and Gas Asset shall be allocated to the Party that contributed the property or funded the costs.

“Book income” and “Book deductions” mean, for purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts, the income and deductions respectively of the Tax Partnership for federal income tax purposes, subject to the following:

(a) Any income or deductions attributable to the Section 754 Election shall be disregarded.

(b) Simulated depletion, simulated gain or simulated loss with respect to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets shall be computed at the partnership level using the Book Basis of such property. The simulated depletion taken each year will be the simulated depletion allowable with respect to an oil and gas property for the Allocation Year pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(k)(2) applying the cost depletion method. With respect to any oil and gas property whose fair market value differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of an Allocation Year, simulated depletion will be that amount determined by applying the cost depletion method as if the fair market value was the adjusted basis upon which simulated cost depletion is computed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(k)(2).

(c) Book income shall include any receipt that is not a contribution, loan proceed, recovery of capital, or part of a nonrecognition exchange.

(d) Book deduction shall include any cost that for United States federal income tax purposes is immediately deductible (including items described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code) and the amortization, depreciation or cost recovery deductions with respect to a cost that is capitalizable as all or part of the Tax Basis of property (or as part of its Contribution Value, in the case of an existing asset that becomes subject to the Base Agreements).

 

3


(e) Upon the distribution of property that is not pursuant to a liquidation of the Tax Partnership, the difference between the fair market value and book basis of the distributed assets will be treated as book income (if such difference is positive) or book deductions (if such difference is negative).

(f) The deemed gain or loss provided for in Section 6.1 hereof will be included.

“Capital Account” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.2.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

“Contribution Value” means the fair market value of an asset at the time the asset becomes subject to this Tax Partnership Agreement. In the case of the Leases covering the Initial Prospect Area, the Parties agree that the Contribution Value of those Leases is equal to the excess (if any) of the amount paid by Participant pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.2 of the Participation Agreement, over the amount (if any) paid by the Owners pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.2 of the Participation Agreement. If Participant elects Option B, the Parties agree that the Contribution Value of the Leases to the extent they cover the Second Prospect Area is equal to the amount paid by Participant pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3 of the Participation Agreement.

“Curative Allocations” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.3(c).

“Distribution Value” means, with respect to any asset of the Tax Partnership at any relevant time for which Distribution Value is to be determined under this Tax Partnership Agreement, the fair market value of such asset at such time.

“Option B” shall have the meaning set forth in the Participation Agreement.

“Participating Interests” means, with respect to particular Subject Oil and Gas Assets, the interests of the parties in such Subject Oil and Gas Assets as set forth in Exhibit A to the Operating Agreement, as amended from time to time.

“Recapture Income” means the portion of any gain recognized on the disposition of property which is classified as ordinary income under Code Sections 1245, 1254, or other Code sections, the amount of which is determined by deductions previously allowable with respect to such property.

“Regulatory Allocations” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.3(c).

“Section 754 Election” means an election under Code Section 754 (or corresponding provisions of future law) relating to the adjustment for tax purposes of the basis of the assets of the partnership as provided in Code Sections 734 and 743.

 

4


“Subject Oil and Gas Assets” shall mean the interests of the Parties in only the Initial Test Well and the Leases to the extent they cover the Initial Prospect Area and, if Participant elects Option B, the Second Test Well and the Leases to the extent they cover the Second Prospect Area, as those terms are defined in the Participation Agreement.

“Tax Basis” means as to any property the adjusted basis of such property as defined in Code Section 1011.

2. Tax Partnership.

2.1. Election With Respect to Subchapter K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement or the Base Agreements, each Party hereto agrees, with respect to all operations conducted hereunder (i) not to elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code; and (ii) to join in the execution of such additional documents and elections as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, if the income tax laws of any state in which the Parties conduct operations pursuant to the terms of this Tax Partnership Agreement or the Base Agreements contain provisions similar to those contained in Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, each Party hereby agrees not to elect to exclude all or any part of the interests of the Parties from the application of said provisions.

2.2. Capital Accounts. A Capital Account (herein so called) shall be maintained for each Party in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (a) to which will be credited the amount of cash and the Contribution Value of any property made subject to the Base Agreements and this Tax Partnership Agreement by such Party and the Book income allocated to such Party, (b) to which will be charged Book deductions allocated to such Party and the amount of cash and Distribution Value of any property released to such Party under the Base Agreements.

2.3 Term. The Tax Partnership will be effective as of the date of the Participation Agreement and will continue in effect for as long as the Parties each continue to own interests in the Subject Oil and Gas Assets; provided that either Party may elect to terminate the Tax Partnership after the termination of the Base Agreements.

2.4. Sale of Interest. A sale or other disposition of the interests of all Parties in any portion of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets shall be treated as a sale by the Tax Partnership, and the proceeds and gain or loss on such disposition will be allocated as provided in Section 5. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a sale of any portion of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets by less than all Parties will be treated by each Party as a sale of a portion of the selling Party’s interest in the Tax Partnership. Each Party agrees not to enter into a transaction that would cause its interest in some of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets to be owned by one entity and the rest by another.

3. Preparation and Filing of Partnership Tax Returns.

3.1. Duty to File Returns. Operator agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all United States federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed by the Tax Partnership and to make the appropriate elections on such returns. Operator shall charge the

 

5


Tax Partnership the cost of preparing all such tax returns. The Parties will bear and reimburse the Tax Partnership for such tax preparation costs up to $50,000 per tax year in accordance with their respective Participating Interests. If Operator estimates that such tax preparation costs will exceed $50,000 for any tax year (“Excess Tax Costs”), Operator shall notify Participant of the Excess Tax Costs and will not incur Excess Tax Costs without Participant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If such Excess Tax Costs are approved, the Parties will bear and reimburse the Tax Partnership for such approved Excess Tax Costs in accordance with their respective Participating Interests.

3.2. Duty of Participant, Matador and Roxanna to Furnish Information. Each Party agrees to furnish to Operator not later than 60 days before the return due date (including extensions) such data and information relating to the operations conducted under the Base Agreements as may be reasonably requested by Operator for the proper preparation, filing, computation and maintenance, as the case may be, of (i) such returns, (ii) other required reports and notifications, and (iii) the Capital Accounts.

3.3. Duty of Operator to Furnish Information. Operator agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to Participant, Matador, and Roxanna tax information relating to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets as may be reasonably requested by Participant, Matador, and Roxanna, including information relating to the estimated income and expenses attributable to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets for a particular period. Operator shall deliver estimates of income and expense information at least 15 days prior to the due date for an estimated tax payment required under Code Section 6655 for a U.S. corporation whose taxable year ends December 31.

3.4 Right of Pre-Filing Review. Operator shall submit copies of all returns to Participant, Matador and Roxanna (including Form K-1 to the Tax Partnership’s Form 1065) at least 15 days prior to the due date, including any extension thereof, to permit review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to filing and shall timely furnish each Party with all partnership information which is relevant to the preparation of such Party’s federal and state income tax returns.

3.5. Limitation of Liability. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to comply with responsibilities outlined in this Section, and in doing so shall incur no liability to any other Party.

3.6. Elections. Operator is authorized, and hereby agrees, on behalf of the Tax Partnership,

(a) to elect to deduct all intangible drilling and development cost incurred in drilling both productive and non-productive oil and gas wells and the preparation of wells for production (“IDC”) under the provisions of Code Section 263(c) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.612-4;

(b) to elect to amortize organization fees in accordance with Code Section 709(b);

(c) to compute the allowance for cost recovery in accordance with Code Section 168 utilizing the shortest life and the most accelerated rate permissible or, if

 

6


Code Section 168 is not applicable, to elect the depreciation method and useful life that results in the most rapid recovery of cost under Code Section 167 without in either case causing any Party’s percentage depletion to be reduced;

(d) to elect December 31 as the Tax Partnership’s taxable year;

(e) to elect the accrual method of accounting;

(f) to make, upon the request of a transferee of a Party’s interest, a Section 754 Election; and

(g) to make any other election that is provided for under Code Section 703(b) or 704(b) and the related Treasury Regulations or is otherwise appropriate and has been unanimously approved by the Parties.

3.7. Tax Audits and Resolution. If the Tax Partnership does not qualify for the “small partnership exception” of Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B) or the Tax Partnership, with the consent of the Parties owning a majority of the Participating Interests, makes the election provided in Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii),

(a) Matador shall be designated as the “tax matters partner” for the Tax Partnership in accordance with Code Section 6231(a)(7) and applicable regulations;

(b) Matador shall promptly notify every other Party of the commencement of a partnership level audit relating to the Tax Partnership and shall not agree to extend the statute of limitations with respect to partnership items of the Tax Partnership without the consent of the Parties; and

(c) Matador shall not take any other action with respect to a partnership level audit item which would be binding on Participant or Roxanna in computing its tax liability without the consent of Participant or Roxanna.

(d) If Matador incurs any expenses for the preparation of, or the pursuit of, administrative or judicial proceedings on behalf of the Tax Partnership, then the Parties shall agree on a method for sharing such expenses. If the Parties cannot agree on a method for sharing such expenses, then the Tax Partnership will pay for such expenses.

(e) The Parties shall furnish Matador, within two weeks from the receipt of the request, the information (including information specified in Code Section 6230(e) on partner identification and Code Section 6050K for transfers of partnership interests) Matador may reasonably request to comply with the requirements on furnishing information to the Internal Revenue Service.

(f) Inconsistent Treatment of Partnership Items. If any Party intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(b), such Party shall, prior to the filing of such notice, notify the other Parties of the (actual or potential) inconsistency of the Party’s intended treatment of a Tax Partnership item with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership.

 

7


(g) Request for Administrative Adjustment. No Party shall file pursuant to Code Section 6227 a request for an administrative adjustment of Partnership Tax items without first notifying the other Parties. If the other Parties agree with the requested adjustment, the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership shall file the request on behalf of the Tax Partnership. If consent is not obtained within thirty (30) days from such notice, or within the period required to timely file the request, if shorter, any Party, including the tax matters partner, may file a request for administrative adjustment on its own.

(h) Judicial Proceedings. Any Party intending to file a petition under Code Section 6226, 6228, or any other Code Section with respect to any Tax Partnership item, or other tax matters involving the Tax Partnership, shall notify the other Parties prior to such filing of the nature of the contemplated proceeding. In the case where the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership is the Party intending to file such petition, such notice shall be given within a reasonable time to allow the other Parties to participate in the choice of the forum for such petition. If the Parties do not agree on an appropriate forum, then the forum shall be chosen by the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership. If a Party intends to seek review of any court decision rendered as a result of such proceeding, the Party shall notify the other Parties prior to seeking such review.

3.8 Inconsistent Treatment of Partnership Items. If any Party intends to treat a Tax Partnership item in a manner that is, actually or potentially, inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of such inconsistency (actual or potential) of the Party’s intended treatment of a Tax Partnership item with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership.

4. Tax Allocations. Subject to Section 7 hereof, income, deductions, and basis shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes for any Allocation Year among the Parties as follows:

4.1. Production Income. Production from the Subject Oil and Gas Assets sold by the Parties or some other representative on behalf of the Parties shall be treated as if sold by the Tax Partnership and the proceeds of such sale were distributed by the Tax Partnership to the Parties. The income (net of Operating Expenses) from such sales shall be partnership income that is allocated among the Parties in the ratio in which the sale proceeds are distributable. In the event the Parties take their shares of production from a Subject Oil and Gas Asset in kind and make separate disposition thereof, the amount received from the sale of production and the amount of the fair market value of production taken in kind by the Parties shall be deemed to be identical; accordingly, such items may be omitted from the adjustments made to the Parties’ Capital Accounts.

4.2. IDC and Other Expenses. Each IDC and other cost that is deductible as paid or incurred shall be allocated to the Party which contributed the funds to pay such cost.

4.3. Equipment Depreciation and Gains and Losses. Depreciation and cost recovery deductions on equipment and other depreciable property shall be allocated among the Parties in accordance with their respective contributions to the Tax Basis of such property.

 

8


4.4. Depletable Basis. Pursuant to Code Sections 703 and 613A(c)(7)(D), tax depletion and taxable gain or loss on the disposition of depletable properties shall be computed by each Party separately and not by the Tax Partnership. For such purpose, each Party’s initial Tax Basis in each such property shall, subject to Section 4.8, be the amount it would have been if such property had not been contributed to the Tax Partnership and shall be increased by any costs charged to it which are capitalized as additional basis in such property.

4.5. Other Income and Deductions and Basis Allocations. Any other item of income not described above shall be allocated to the Party that received the related proceeds. Any other item of deduction or basis not described above shall be allocated to the Party that provided the funds to pay the cost giving rise to such item.

4.6. Recapture Income. Recapture Income as to a property shall be allocated to the Party to which the deductions giving rise to such Recapture Income were allocated (including in this Section 4.6 where applicable, deductions claimed by it outside the Tax Partnership).

4.7. Section 754 Election. Income, deductions and Tax Basis attributable to the Section 754 Election shall be allocated to the Parties entitled thereto under the Code.

4.8. Section 704(c). To the extent required by the Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations, any tax items of income, gain, loss and deduction relating to any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets that are contributed to the Tax Partnership by the Parties will be allocated among the Parties in a manner which takes into account the variation between the adjusted Tax Basis of the Subject Oil and Gas Asset and the Contribution Value of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets using the traditional allocation method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

4.9 Regulatory and Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for federal income tax purposes, the Tax Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Parties in the same manner as any such items are allocated under Section 5.3.

5. Book Allocations and Amount Realized Attributable to Sales Proceeds.

5.1 Book Allocations. Book income and Book deductions that correspond to taxable income and deductions shall be allocated in the same manner for Code Section 704(b) book purposes as they are for tax purposes. Code Section 704(b) simulated depletion and loss on the disposition of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets shall be allocated in the ratio and to the extent that Book Basis was allocated among the Parties. Book depletion shall equal the simulated depletion amount as computed in accordance paragraph (b) of the “Book income” and “Book deduction” definition. Other Book deductions shall be allocated among the Parties bearing the cost thereof. Subject to Section 5.2 hereof, other Book income shall be allocated to the Parties entitled to the receipts giving rise to such income.

5.2. Allocation of Amounts Realized Attributable to Sale of Subject Oil and Gas Assets. The amount realized from the sale or other disposition of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets described in the first sentence of Section 2.4 shall, to the extent of the Book Basis in

 

9


such asset at the time of sale, be allocated for Code Section 704(b) book purposes in the ratio that the Book Basis in such asset was allocated, and any simulated loss shall be reflected in the Parties’ Capital Accounts in the same ratio. The simulated gain resulting from amounts realized in excess of Book Basis shall be allocated to cause each Party’s Capital Account balance to be as nearly as possible equal to the sum of the amounts determined for each Subject Oil and Gas Asset and any other property of the Tax Partnership equal to the product of (i) the Party’s Participating Interest in such asset and (ii) the Distribution Value of such asset immediately prior to the sale. The Capital Accounts of the Parties shall be charged consistently with this Section 5.2.

5.3. Regulatory and Curative Allocations. Prior to making any other Book allocations, the Tax Partnership shall allocate the following items to the Parties in the following order:

(a) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Party unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of income and gain for such Allocation Year shall be specially allocated to such Party in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Party as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Party would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(a) were not in this Tax Partnership Agreement.

(b) Limit on Loss Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement, deductions and losses (or items thereof) shall not be allocated to a Party if such allocation would cause or increase a Party’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit and shall be reallocated to the other Parties, subject to the limitation provided in this Section 5.3(b).

(c) Curative Allocations. The allocations under this Section 5.3 other than this Section 5.3(c) (such allocations, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. To the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Tax Partnership Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Tax Partnership Agreement to the contrary (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Partnership shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction (such allocation, the “Curative Allocations”) in whatever manner the Parties determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Party’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Party would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Tax Partnership Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.3(c), the Tax Partnership shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

6. Liquidation and Balancing Capital Accounts.

6.1. Accounting Adjustments. Upon termination of the Tax Partnership, the Subject Oil and Gas Assets and any other property of the Tax Partnership shall be valued at their Distribution Value and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement, the assets of the Tax Partnership shall be deemed to have been sold for their Distribution Values, and the resulting Book income (including any simulated gain) and Book deductions (other than items of simulated loss, which shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.2) shall be allocated among the Parties to the extent necessary to cause each Party’s Capital Account balance to be as nearly as possible equal to the sum of the amounts determined for each Subject Oil and Gas Asset and any other property of the Tax Partnership equal to the product of (i) the Party’s Participating Interest in such asset and (ii) the Distribution Value of such asset immediately prior to the sale. The Tax Partnership shall make such allocations as follows: first, items of simulated loss with respect to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets that are subject to depletion; second, items of simulated gain; third, other items of unrealized gain or loss; and fourth, other items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction.

6.2 No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon a liquidation within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), if any Party has a deficit balance in their Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Party shall have no obligation to make any contribution so as to restore its Capital Account to zero, and the negative balance of such Party’s Capital Account shall not be considered a debt owed by such Party to the other Parties, to the Tax Partnership, or to any other person for any purpose whatsoever.

6.2. Distribution to Balance Capital Accounts. After the adjustments required by Section 6.1 have been completed, the Parties shall determine the aggregate Distribution Value of the properties (“Deemed Distribution Properties”) that would be distributed to each Party if each property and related equipment were distributed to the Parties in accordance with their relative Participating Interests in such property. If any Party’s Capital Account balance is less than such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties, then (a) such Party may contribute cash to the Tax Partnership in an amount sufficient to cause such Party’s Capital Account balance to be equal to such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties, and/or (b) if all Parties agree, any cash or an undivided interest in certain select properties shall be distributed to any Party whose Capital Account balance exceeds such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties as is necessary to cause, following such distribution, all remaining Capital Account balances for each Party to be equal to each such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties (as adjusted for such distribution). Following such distribution, the Tax Partnership shall liquidate and distribute the properties of the Tax Partnership to the Parties in accordance with their relative Participating Interests in each Deemed Distribution Property.

6.3. Evaluation Procedure. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the fair market value of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets, the Parties shall engage a mutually-agreeable, independent oil and gas appraisal firm to prepare an evaluation of the fair market value of such property, the cost of which evaluation shall be an operating cost of the property.

“Tax Basis” means as to any property the adjusted basis of such property as defined in Code Section 1011.

2. Tax Partnership.

2.1. Election With Respect to Subchapter K. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement or the Base Agreements, each Party hereto agrees, with respect to all operations conducted hereunder (i) not to elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code; and (ii) to join in the execution of such additional documents and elections as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, if the income tax laws of any state in which the Parties conduct operations pursuant to the terms of this Tax Partnership Agreement or the Base Agreements contain provisions similar to those contained in Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, each Party hereby agrees not to elect to exclude all or any part of the interests of the Parties from the application of said provisions.

2.2. Capital Accounts. A Capital Account (herein so called) shall be maintained for each Party in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 (a) to which will be credited the amount of cash and the Contribution Value of any property made subject to the Base Agreements and this Tax Partnership Agreement by such Party and the Book income allocated to such Party, (b) to which will be charged Book deductions allocated to such Party and the amount of cash and Distribution Value of any property released to such Party under the Base Agreements.

2.3 Term. The Tax Partnership will be effective as of the date of the Participation Agreement and will continue in effect for as long as the Parties each continue to own interests in the Subject Oil and Gas Assets; provided that either Party may elect to terminate the Tax Partnership after the termination of the Base Agreements.

2.4. Sale of Interest. A sale or other disposition of the interests of all Parties in any portion of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets shall be treated as a sale by the Tax Partnership, and the proceeds and gain or loss on such disposition will be allocated as provided in Section 5. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a sale of any portion of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets by less than all Parties will be treated by each Party as a sale of a portion of the selling Party’s interest in the Tax Partnership. Each Party agrees not to enter into a transaction that would cause its interest in some of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets to be owned by one entity and the rest by another.

3. Preparation and Filing of Partnership Tax Returns.

3.1. Duty to File Returns. Operator agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all United States federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed by the Tax Partnership and to make the appropriate elections on such returns. Operator shall charge the

 

5


Tax Partnership the cost of preparing all such tax returns. The Parties will bear and reimburse the Tax Partnership for such tax preparation costs up to $50,000 per tax year in accordance with their respective Participating Interests. If Operator estimates that such tax preparation costs will exceed $50,000 for any tax year (“Excess Tax Costs”), Operator shall notify Participant of the Excess Tax Costs and will not incur Excess Tax Costs without Participant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If such Excess Tax Costs are approved, the Parties will bear and reimburse the Tax Partnership for such approved Excess Tax Costs in accordance with their respective Participating Interests.

3.2. Duty of Participant, Matador and Roxanna to Furnish Information. Each Party agrees to furnish to Operator not later than 60 days before the return due date (including extensions) such data and information relating to the operations conducted under the Base Agreements as may be reasonably requested by Operator for the proper preparation, filing, computation and maintenance, as the case may be, of (i) such returns, (ii) other required reports and notifications, and (iii) the Capital Accounts.

3.3. Duty of Operator to Furnish Information. Operator agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to Participant, Matador, and Roxanna tax information relating to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets as may be reasonably requested by Participant, Matador, and Roxanna, including information relating to the estimated income and expenses attributable to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets for a particular period. Operator shall deliver estimates of income and expense information at least 15 days prior to the due date for an estimated tax payment required under Code Section 6655 for a U.S. corporation whose taxable year ends December 31.

3.4 Right of Pre-Filing Review. Operator shall submit copies of all returns to Participant, Matador and Roxanna (including Form K-1 to the Tax Partnership’s Form 1065) at least 15 days prior to the due date, including any extension thereof, to permit review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) prior to filing and shall timely furnish each Party with all partnership information which is relevant to the preparation of such Party’s federal and state income tax returns.

3.5. Limitation of Liability. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to comply with responsibilities outlined in this Section, and in doing so shall incur no liability to any other Party.

3.6. Elections. Operator is authorized, and hereby agrees, on behalf of the Tax Partnership,

(a) to elect to deduct all intangible drilling and development cost incurred in drilling both productive and non-productive oil and gas wells and the preparation of wells for production (“IDC”) under the provisions of Code Section 263(c) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.612-4;

(b) to elect to amortize organization fees in accordance with Code Section 709(b);

(c) to compute the allowance for cost recovery in accordance with Code Section 168 utilizing the shortest life and the most accelerated rate permissible or, if

 

6


Code Section 168 is not applicable, to elect the depreciation method and useful life that results in the most rapid recovery of cost under Code Section 167 without in either case causing any Party’s percentage depletion to be reduced;

(d) to elect December 31 as the Tax Partnership’s taxable year;

(e) to elect the accrual method of accounting;

(f) to make, upon the request of a transferee of a Party’s interest, a Section 754 Election; and

(g) to make any other election that is provided for under Code Section 703(b) or 704(b) and the related Treasury Regulations or is otherwise appropriate and has been unanimously approved by the Parties.

3.7. Tax Audits and Resolution. If the Tax Partnership does not qualify for the “small partnership exception” of Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B) or the Tax Partnership, with the consent of the Parties owning a majority of the Participating Interests, makes the election provided in Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii),

(a) Matador shall be designated as the “tax matters partner” for the Tax Partnership in accordance with Code Section 6231(a)(7) and applicable regulations;

(b) Matador shall promptly notify every other Party of the commencement of a partnership level audit relating to the Tax Partnership and shall not agree to extend the statute of limitations with respect to partnership items of the Tax Partnership without the consent of the Parties; and

(c) Matador shall not take any other action with respect to a partnership level audit item which would be binding on Participant or Roxanna in computing its tax liability without the consent of Participant or Roxanna.

(d) If Matador incurs any expenses for the preparation of, or the pursuit of, administrative or judicial proceedings on behalf of the Tax Partnership, then the Parties shall agree on a method for sharing such expenses. If the Parties cannot agree on a method for sharing such expenses, then the Tax Partnership will pay for such expenses.

(e) The Parties shall furnish Matador, within two weeks from the receipt of the request, the information (including information specified in Code Section 6230(e) on partner identification and Code Section 6050K for transfers of partnership interests) Matador may reasonably request to comply with the requirements on furnishing information to the Internal Revenue Service.

(f) Inconsistent Treatment of Partnership Items. If any Party intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Code Section 6222(b), such Party shall, prior to the filing of such notice, notify the other Parties of the (actual or potential) inconsistency of the Party’s intended treatment of a Tax Partnership item with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership.

 

7


(g) Request for Administrative Adjustment. No Party shall file pursuant to Code Section 6227 a request for an administrative adjustment of Partnership Tax items without first notifying the other Parties. If the other Parties agree with the requested adjustment, the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership shall file the request on behalf of the Tax Partnership. If consent is not obtained within thirty (30) days from such notice, or within the period required to timely file the request, if shorter, any Party, including the tax matters partner, may file a request for administrative adjustment on its own.

(h) Judicial Proceedings. Any Party intending to file a petition under Code Section 6226, 6228, or any other Code Section with respect to any Tax Partnership item, or other tax matters involving the Tax Partnership, shall notify the other Parties prior to such filing of the nature of the contemplated proceeding. In the case where the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership is the Party intending to file such petition, such notice shall be given within a reasonable time to allow the other Parties to participate in the choice of the forum for such petition. If the Parties do not agree on an appropriate forum, then the forum shall be chosen by the tax matters partner of the Tax Partnership. If a Party intends to seek review of any court decision rendered as a result of such proceeding, the Party shall notify the other Parties prior to seeking such review.

3.8 Inconsistent Treatment of Partnership Items. If any Party intends to treat a Tax Partnership item in a manner that is, actually or potentially, inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of such inconsistency (actual or potential) of the Party’s intended treatment of a Tax Partnership item with the treatment of that item by the Tax Partnership.

4. Tax Allocations. Subject to Section 7 hereof, income, deductions, and basis shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes for any Allocation Year among the Parties as follows:

4.1. Production Income. Production from the Subject Oil and Gas Assets sold by the Parties or some other representative on behalf of the Parties shall be treated as if sold by the Tax Partnership and the proceeds of such sale were distributed by the Tax Partnership to the Parties. The income (net of Operating Expenses) from such sales shall be partnership income that is allocated among the Parties in the ratio in which the sale proceeds are distributable. In the event the Parties take their shares of production from a Subject Oil and Gas Asset in kind and make separate disposition thereof, the amount received from the sale of production and the amount of the fair market value of production taken in kind by the Parties shall be deemed to be identical; accordingly, such items may be omitted from the adjustments made to the Parties’ Capital Accounts.

4.2. IDC and Other Expenses. Each IDC and other cost that is deductible as paid or incurred shall be allocated to the Party which contributed the funds to pay such cost.

4.3. Equipment Depreciation and Gains and Losses. Depreciation and cost recovery deductions on equipment and other depreciable property shall be allocated among the Parties in accordance with their respective contributions to the Tax Basis of such property.

 

8


4.4. Depletable Basis. Pursuant to Code Sections 703 and 613A(c)(7)(D), tax depletion and taxable gain or loss on the disposition of depletable properties shall be computed by each Party separately and not by the Tax Partnership. For such purpose, each Party’s initial Tax Basis in each such property shall, subject to Section 4.8, be the amount it would have been if such property had not been contributed to the Tax Partnership and shall be increased by any costs charged to it which are capitalized as additional basis in such property.

4.5. Other Income and Deductions and Basis Allocations. Any other item of income not described above shall be allocated to the Party that received the related proceeds. Any other item of deduction or basis not described above shall be allocated to the Party that provided the funds to pay the cost giving rise to such item.

4.6. Recapture Income. Recapture Income as to a property shall be allocated to the Party to which the deductions giving rise to such Recapture Income were allocated (including in this Section 4.6 where applicable, deductions claimed by it outside the Tax Partnership).

4.7. Section 754 Election. Income, deductions and Tax Basis attributable to the Section 754 Election shall be allocated to the Parties entitled thereto under the Code.

4.8. Section 704(c). To the extent required by the Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations, any tax items of income, gain, loss and deduction relating to any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets that are contributed to the Tax Partnership by the Parties will be allocated among the Parties in a manner which takes into account the variation between the adjusted Tax Basis of the Subject Oil and Gas Asset and the Contribution Value of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets using the traditional allocation method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

4.9 Regulatory and Curative Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for federal income tax purposes, the Tax Partnership shall allocate items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Parties in the same manner as any such items are allocated under Section 5.3.

5. Book Allocations and Amount Realized Attributable to Sales Proceeds.

5.1 Book Allocations. Book income and Book deductions that correspond to taxable income and deductions shall be allocated in the same manner for Code Section 704(b) book purposes as they are for tax purposes. Code Section 704(b) simulated depletion and loss on the disposition of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets shall be allocated in the ratio and to the extent that Book Basis was allocated among the Parties. Book depletion shall equal the simulated depletion amount as computed in accordance paragraph (b) of the “Book income” and “Book deduction” definition. Other Book deductions shall be allocated among the Parties bearing the cost thereof. Subject to Section 5.2 hereof, other Book income shall be allocated to the Parties entitled to the receipts giving rise to such income.

5.2. Allocation of Amounts Realized Attributable to Sale of Subject Oil and Gas Assets. The amount realized from the sale or other disposition of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets described in the first sentence of Section 2.4 shall, to the extent of the Book Basis in

such asset at the time of sale, be allocated for Code Section 704(b) book purposes in the ratio that the Book Basis in such asset was allocated, and any simulated loss shall be reflected in the Parties’ Capital Accounts in the same ratio. The simulated gain resulting from amounts realized in excess of Book Basis shall be allocated to cause each Party’s Capital Account balance to be as nearly as possible equal to the sum of the amounts determined for each Subject Oil and Gas Asset and any other property of the Tax Partnership equal to the product of (i) the Party’s Participating Interest in such asset and (ii) the Distribution Value of such asset immediately prior to the sale. The Capital Accounts of the Parties shall be charged consistently with this Section 5.2.

5.3. Regulatory and Curative Allocations. Prior to making any other Book allocations, the Tax Partnership shall allocate the following items to the Parties in the following order:

(a) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Party unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of income and gain for such Allocation Year shall be specially allocated to such Party in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, any Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Party as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Party would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(a) were not in this Tax Partnership Agreement.

(b) Limit on Loss Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement, deductions and losses (or items thereof) shall not be allocated to a Party if such allocation would cause or increase a Party’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit and shall be reallocated to the other Parties, subject to the limitation provided in this Section 5.3(b).

(c) Curative Allocations. The allocations under this Section 5.3 other than this Section 5.3(c) (such allocations, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. To the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Tax Partnership Agreement. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Tax Partnership Agreement to the contrary (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Partnership shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction (such allocation, the “Curative Allocations”) in whatever manner the Parties determine appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Party’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Party would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Tax Partnership Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.3(c), the Tax Partnership shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.

6. Liquidation and Balancing Capital Accounts.

6.1. Accounting Adjustments. Upon termination of the Tax Partnership, the Subject Oil and Gas Assets and any other property of the Tax Partnership shall be valued at their Distribution Value and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Tax Partnership Agreement, the assets of the Tax Partnership shall be deemed to have been sold for their Distribution Values, and the resulting Book income (including any simulated gain) and Book deductions (other than items of simulated loss, which shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.2) shall be allocated among the Parties to the extent necessary to cause each Party’s Capital Account balance to be as nearly as possible equal to the sum of the amounts determined for each Subject Oil and Gas Asset and any other property of the Tax Partnership equal to the product of (i) the Party’s Participating Interest in such asset and (ii) the Distribution Value of such asset immediately prior to the sale. The Tax Partnership shall make such allocations as follows: first, items of simulated loss with respect to the Subject Oil and Gas Assets that are subject to depletion; second, items of simulated gain; third, other items of unrealized gain or loss; and fourth, other items of gross income, gain, loss or deduction.

6.2 No Deficit Restoration Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon a liquidation within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), if any Party has a deficit balance in their Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Party shall have no obligation to make any contribution so as to restore its Capital Account to zero, and the negative balance of such Party’s Capital Account shall not be considered a debt owed by such Party to the other Parties, to the Tax Partnership, or to any other person for any purpose whatsoever.

6.2. Distribution to Balance Capital Accounts. After the adjustments required by Section 6.1 have been completed, the Parties shall determine the aggregate Distribution Value of the properties (“Deemed Distribution Properties”) that would be distributed to each Party if each property and related equipment were distributed to the Parties in accordance with their relative Participating Interests in such property. If any Party’s Capital Account balance is less than such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties, then (a) such Party may contribute cash to the Tax Partnership in an amount sufficient to cause such Party’s Capital Account balance to be equal to such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties, and/or (b) if all Parties agree, any cash or an undivided interest in certain select properties shall be distributed to any Party whose Capital Account balance exceeds such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties as is necessary to cause, following such distribution, all remaining Capital Account balances for each Party to be equal to each such Party’s Distribution Value of the Deemed Distribution Properties (as adjusted for such distribution). Following such distribution, the Tax Partnership shall liquidate and distribute the properties of the Tax Partnership to the Parties in accordance with their relative Participating Interests in each Deemed Distribution Property.

6.3. Evaluation Procedure. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the fair market value of any of the Subject Oil and Gas Assets, the Parties shall engage a mutually-agreeable, independent oil and gas appraisal firm to prepare an evaluation of the fair market value of such property, the cost of which evaluation shall be an operating cost of the property.
