OTHER EVENTS. On March 6, 2003, Denbury Resources Inc. and affiliates of the Texas Pacific Group ("TPG") entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Lehman Brothers Inc. (the "Underwriter"), pursuant to which TPG is to sell to the Underwriter an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of Denbury's common stock at a price of $10.95 per share, representing approximately 12.6% of the shares of Denbury common stock owned by TPG. Additionally, TPG has granted to the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares to cover over- allotments, if any. Denbury will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by TPG and this offering will not affect the number of Denbury shares issued and outstanding. Upon closing, TPG's ownership of Denbury's issued and outstanding common shares will drop from approximately 36.8% to approximately 32.2% (31.5% if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full). TPG remains Denbury's largest stockholder and representatives of TPG currently hold four of nine seats on Denbury's board of directors. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to the Underwriter or to any officer, employee or controlling person of the Underwriter. (b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Stock), to which the Underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this Section to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Underwriter by such Selling Stockholder directly or through such Selling Stockholder's representatives, specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and shall reimburse the Underwriter, its officers and employees and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter, its officers and employees or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholders shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged -23- untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein which consists solely of the information specified in Section 10(f) hereof and provided, further, that with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus, the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of the Underwriter from whom the person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased Stock, or any person controlling the Underwriter, if copies of the Prospectus were timely delivered to the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement and a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. However, in no event shall the Selling Stockholder be liable under the provisions of this Section 10 for any amount in excess of the total proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Stock by such Selling Stockholder (after deducting commissions, but before taxes and any other expenses) pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have to the Underwriter or any officer, employee or controlling person of the Underwriter. (c) The Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and employees, each of its directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each Selling Stockholder and its officers and employees, each of its directors, and each person if any, who controls the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Marketing Materials any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Underwriter by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company, such Selling Stockholder and any such director, officer or controlling person of the Company or the Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer or controlling person of the Company or the Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Underwriter -24- may otherwise have to the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person of the Company or the Selling Stockholder. (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Underwriter shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the Underwriter and its respective officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriter against the Company or any Selling Stockholder under this Section 10 if, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, it is advisable for the Underwriter, officers, employees and controlling persons to be jointly represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company or Selling Stockholders. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such -25- indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Stock or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute under this Section 10(e) only with respect to losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with the information contained in Section 10(g) or Section 10(f), respectively, hereunder. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Stock purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the shares of the Stock purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the shares of the Stock under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), (i) the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock underwritten by it and distributed to the public was offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the offering of the Stock by such Selling Stockholder (after deducting commissions, but before taxes and any other expenses). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be -26- entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) The Underwriter confirms and the Company acknowledges that the statements with respect to the public offering of the Stock by the Underwriter set forth on the cover page of, the name of the Underwriters and its participation in the sale of Stock under the caption "Underwriting" in, and the paragraphs addressing the underwriting discount, concessions and reallowances, stabilization, short positions, syndicate transactions and penalty bids appearing under the caption "Underwriting" in, the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning the Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. 11. [SECTION INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 12. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriter by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 9(l) or 9(m) hereof, shall have occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement. 13. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If any Selling Stockholder shall fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriter by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition of the Underwriter's obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company or the Selling Stockholders is not fulfilled, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof by reason of the default of the Underwriter, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall be obligated to reimburse the Underwriter on account of those expenses. 14. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and: (a) if to the Underwriter, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Lehman Brothers Inc., Syndicate Registration Department, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, (Fax: 212-526-0943), with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 8(c), to the Director of Litigation, Office of the General Counsel, Lehman Brothers Inc., 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022; (b) if to the Company, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex, facsimile transmission or recognized overnight delivery service to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Phyl Rykhoek (Fax: (972) 673-2051); and -27- (c) if to any Selling Stockholder, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex, facsimile transmission or recognized overnight delivery service to such Selling Stockholder at the address set forth on Schedule 2 hereto; provided, however, that any notice to the Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(d) above shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex, facsimile transmission or recognized overnight delivery service to the Underwriter at its address set forth in its acceptance telex to the Underwriter, which address will be supplied to any other party hereto by the Underwriter upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect at the time of receipt thereof. The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Underwriter by Lehman Brothers Inc., and the Company and the Underwriter shall be entitled to act and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on behalf of the Selling Stockholders by a custodian. 15.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 15, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. -28- 16.

Definition of the Terms "Business Day" and "Subsidiary." For purposes of this Agreement, (a) "BUSINESS DAY" means any day on which the American Stock Exchange is open for trading and (b) "SUBSIDIARY" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations. 18.
