PROCEEDS FROM PRODUCTION
------------------------
3.1 ASSIGNMENT OF PRODUCTION.
------------------------
(a) Mortgagor, in order to further secure the Obligations, up to the
maximum amount provided above in Section 2.3, effective as of the date hereof
at 7:00 a.m. Central Time, U.S.A., has assigned, transferred, conveyed and
delivered and does hereby assign, transfer, convey and deliver unto Mortgagee
for itself and as collateral agent on behalf of ECT Securities Corp. and any
holder of Obligations described in clause (f) of the definition of
Obligations, Mortgagor's interest, now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to
the Hydrocarbons (or the proceeds therefrom), the same to be delivered into
pipelines connected to the Oil and Gas Properties, or to any other purchaser
thereof to the credit of Mortgagee.
(b) All parties producing, purchasing, taking, possessing, processing or
receiving any production from the Oil and Gas Properties, or having in their
possession any such production or the proceeds of runs for which they or
others are accountable to Mortgagee by virtue of the provisions of this
Article 3.1, are authorized and directed by Mortgagor to treat and regard
Mortgagee as the assignee and transferee of Mortgagor and entitled in its
place and stead to receive Mortgagor's interest, now owned or hereafter
acquired, in and to the Hydrocarbons and the proceeds thereof.
(c) Mortgagor directs and instructs each purchaser of production from
the Oil and Gas Properties to pay to Mortgagee all of the proceeds of
Mortgagor's interest, now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Hydrocarbons until such time as such purchaser has been furnished evidence
that all of the Obligations have been paid and that the privilege evidenced
hereby has been released. Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to receive and
collect all sums of money derived from the proceeds of all of Mortgagor's
interest, now owned or hereafter acquired in and to the Hydrocarbons, and no
purchaser of any production from the Oil and Gas Properties shall have any
responsibility for the application of any funds paid to Mortgagee.
(d) Mortgagee may (i) endorse and cash any and all checks and drafts
payable to the order of Mortgagor or Mortgagee for the account of Mortgagor,
received from or in connection with the revenues and proceeds of the
Hydrocarbons affected hereby, and the same may be applied as provided herein
and (ii) execute any transfer or division orders in the name of Mortgagor or

-6-
(e) Mortgagee shall have the right at Mortgagee's election and in the
name of Mortgagor, or otherwise, to prosecute and defend any and all actions

reasonable costs, expenses and attor neys fees incurred in connection
therewith being paid by Mortgagor.
(f) The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 shall constitute an
absolute and present assignment of all Mortgagor's interest in the
Hydrocarbons. Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a conditional license to receive
and sell such Hydrocarbons, and the proceeds therefrom, and to use the same
in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage until Mortgagee delivers
written notice to Mortgagor that Mortgagee has elected to terminate such
license at which time such conditional license shall terminate without
further notice or action on the part of Mortgagee. The existence or exercise
of such conditional license shall not operate to subordinate this assignment,
in whole or in part, to any subsequent assignment by Mortgagor permitted
hereunder, and any such subsequent assignment by Mortgagor shall be subject
to the rights of Mortgagee hereunder.
3.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All payments received by Mortgagee
pursuant to this Article III shall either be held by Mortgagee in a cash
collateral account as additional Collateral or, at the option of Mortgagee,
applied at the time of receipt, or from time to time at the discretion of

connection with the collection of such proceeds, and the payment of any part
of the Obligations not represented by a written instrument;

constituting part of the Obligations; and

Mortgagees may at any time and from time to time release to Mortgagor or its
order all or any portion of the funds received from the proceeds of oil, gas or
other minerals as provided in this Article III without in any wise impairing,
releasing or discharging the lien, privilege and security of this instrument,
and the pledge and assignment herein provided for or affecting the validity
thereof.
-7-

Mortgagor's absolute duty to make payment of the Obligations when the proceeds,
if any, received by Mortgagee pursuant to this Article are insufficient to pay
the same, and the receipt of proceeds under this Article will be in addition to
all other security now or hereafter existing to secure payment of the
Obligations.
3.5 LIABILITY OF MORTGAGEE. Mortgagee is hereby absolved from all
liability for failure to enforce collection of any of such proceeds, and from
all other responsibility in connec tion therewith except the responsibility to
account to Mortgagor for proceeds actually received by Mortgagee.

all claims, actions, liabilities, judgments, costs, attorneys fees or other
charges of whatsoever kind or nature (hereafter referred to in this Article as
"Claims") made against or incurred by Mortgagee as a consequence of the
assertion either before or after the payment in full of the Obligations, that
Mortgagee received Hydrocarbons or proceeds pursuant to this Article III which
were claimed by third persons. Mortgagee will have the right to employ
attorneys and to defend against any such Claims and unless furnished with
reasonable indemnity, Mortgagee will have the right to pay or compromise and
adjust all such Claims. Mortgagor will indemnify and pay to Mortgagee all such
amounts as may be paid in respect thereof, or as may be successfully adjudicated

-8-
cause Mortgagor to bear not more than that portion of the costs of drilling,
developing and operating such leases, than those set forth in the Engineering

obligation and to Mortgagor's knowledge no facts exist which might cause the
same to be imposed;

and requirements applicable to its business, the violation of which might
materially affect its obligations hereunder, and has obtained all approvals,

third parties affecting any part of the Collateral.

which Mortgagor is bound affecting any part of the Collateral requires
Mortgagor to bear any of the costs relating to the Collateral greater than
the leasehold interest of Mortgagor in such portion of the Collateral, except
in the event Mortgagor is obligated under an operating agreement to assume a
portion of a defaulting or non-consenting party's share of costs.
(g) Mortgagor has not received any prepayment prior to the date hereof

valid and subsisting, all covenants, conditions and obligations contained in

Mortgagee is authorized prior or subsequent to the institution of any
foreclosure proceedings, to enter upon the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and to exercise without interference from Mortgagor any and all rights which

and remedy herein specifically given and now or hereafter existing; and each and
every right, power and remedy, whether specifically given or otherwise existing,
may be exercised from time to time and so often and in such order as may be

of any such right, power or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to
exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No
delay or omission by Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy

of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Mortgagee may proceed against
the Personalty Collateral in accordance with the rights and remedies granted

remedies granted by the Uniform Commercial Code and this instrument. Mortgagee

this purpose Mortgagee may enter upon any premises on which any or all of the
Personalty Collateral is situated and, to the extent that Mortgagor could do so,
take possession of and operate the Personalty Collateral or remove it therefrom.
Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to assemble the Personalty Collateral and make
it available to Mortgagee at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which is

sold on a recognized market, Mortgagee will send Mortgagor reasonable notice of
the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private
sale or other disposi tion of the Personalty Collateral is to be made. This
requirement of sending reasonable notice will be met if such notice is mailed,
postage prepaid, to Mortgagor at the address designated in Section 6.12 (or such
other address as has been designated as provided herein) at least ten days
before the time of the sale or disposition. In addition to the expenses of
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, Mortgagee will be

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
6.1 ADVANCES BY MORTGAGEE. Each and every covenant of Mortgagor herein
contained shall be performed and kept by Mortgagor solely at Mortgagor's
expense. If Mortgagor fails to perform or keep any of the covenants of
whatsoever kind or nature contained in this instrument, Mortgagee or any keeper
may, but will not be obligated to, make advances to perform the same on
Mortgagor's behalf, and Mortgagor hereby agrees to repay such sums and any
attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith on demand plus interest thereon
from
-22-
the date of the advance until paid at the Default Rate. In addition,
Mortgagor hereby agrees to repay on demand any reasonable costs, expenses and
attorney's fees incurred by Mortgagee or any keeper which are to be obligations
of the Mortgagor pursuant to, or allowed by, the terms of this instrument, plus
interest thereon from the date of the advance until paid at the Default Rate.
Any such amounts so paid by Mortgagee or any keeper shall be considered part of
the Obligations secured hereby and shall be secured by this instrument and the
amount and nature of any such payment by Mortgagee and the date when paid shall
be held to be fully and authentically established by affidavit of Mortgagee or
its or their agents, servants or employees, and such amounts shall be paid as
part of the Obligations out of the proceeds of the sale of the Collateral in the
event of foreclosure or other proceedings together with interest thereon at the
rate provided for above; provided, however (a) that the amount of the
Obligations secured and to be secured hereby shall in no event exceed the amount
set out in Article 2.3 above and (b) that the exercise of any right or
advancement or payment of cost or expenses by Mortgagee or any keeper shall in
no manner be construed as a waiver of the rights of Mortgagee to demand payment
on the Note. Mortgagee and any future holder or holders of the Note shall be
and are hereby subrogated to all rights, liens and privileges securing payment
of any debt or claim for the payment of which Mortgagee may make advances
pursuant to the terms hereof.
6.2 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in
writing of the commencement of any legal proceedings affecting Mortgagor's title
to the Collateral or the lien and privilege created hereby, and shall take such
action, employing attorneys agreeable to the Mortgagee, as may be necessary to
preserve Mortgagor's and Mortgagee's rights herein. If Mortgagor fails or
refuses to defend Mortgagor's or Mortgagee's rights in and to the Collateral,
Mortgagee may take such action on behalf of and in the name of Mortgagor and at
Mortgagor's expense. Moreover, Mortgagee may take such independent action in
connection therewith as it may in its discretion deem proper, including, without
limitation, the right to employ indepen dent counsel and to intervene in any
suit affecting the Collateral. All costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred
by Mortgagee pursuant to this Article 6.2 shall be paid by Mortgagor on demand
plus interest thereon from the date of the advance by Mortgagee until paid at
the Default Rate.
6.3 PARTIAL RELEASES. The Mortgagee at all times shall have the right
to release any part of the Collateral now or hereafter subject to the lien and
privilege hereof or any part of the proceeds of production or any income herein
or hereafter assigned or pledged or any other security it now has or may
hereafter have securing said indebtedness, without releasing any other part of
said Collateral, proceeds, income or security and without affecting the lien
hereof as to the parts or parties not released, or the right to future proceeds
and income.
6.4 RENEWALS, AMENDMENTS AND OTHER SECURITY. Without notice or consent
of Mortgagor, renewals and extensions of the written instruments constituting
part or all of the Obligations may be given at any time and amendments may be
made to agreements relating to any part of such written instruments or the
Collateral. Mortgagee may take or hold other
-23-
security for the Obligations without notice to or consent of Mortgagor. The
acceptance of this instrument by Mortgagee shall not waive or impair any other
security Mortgagee may have or hereafter acquire to secure the payment of the
Obligations nor shall the taking of any such additional security waive or impair
the lien and security interests herein granted. Mortgagee may resort first to
such other security or any part thereof, or first to the security herein given
or any part thereof, or from time to time to either or both, even to the partial
or complete abandonment of either security, and such action will not be a waiver
of any rights conferred by this instrument.
6.5 ASSIGNMENT AND FINANCING STATEMENT. This instrument will be deemed
to be and may be enforced from time to time as an assignment, chattel mortgage,
contract, deed of trust, financing statement, real estate mortgage, or security
agreement, and from time to time as any one or more thereof if appropriate under
applicable state law. As a financing statement this instrument is intended to
cover all Personalty Collateral and Immovable Collateral, including without
limitation Mortgagor's interest in all Hydrocarbons as and after they are
severed by being reduced to possession at the wellhead and all accounts arising
from the sale thereof at the wellhead. This instrument shall be filed in the
appropriate records of the county or counties or parish or parishes and the
state in which the Realty Collateral is located, in the Uniform Commercial Code
records of a parish in the State of Louisiana or other appropriate office of the
State in which any Personalty Collateral or any Realty Collateral is located and
in the Uniform Commercial Code Records of the state where Mortgagor's principal
place of business is located (if not in Louisiana). At Mortgagee's request
Mortgagor shall execute financing statements covering the Personalty Collateral
and Immovable Collateral, which financing statements may be filed in the Uniform
Commercial Code records of a parish in the State of Louisiana or any other state
or other appropriate office of the state in which any of the Collateral is
located or where Mortgagor has its principal place of business or in the county
where Mortgagor has its principal place of business.
6.6 LIMITATION ON INTEREST. As used herein, the term "Maximum Rate"
shall mean and refer to the maximum rate of nonusurious interest, if any, that
Mortgagee may from time to time charge Mortgagor and in regard to which
Mortgagor would be prevented successfully from raising the claim or defense of
usury under applicable law as now, or to the extent permitted by law, as may
hereafter be, in effect (said law permitting the highest rate being herein
referred to as the "Interest Law"). It is the intention of Mortgagor and
Mortgagee to conform strictly to the Interest Law applicable to this loan
transaction. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges or
consideration constituting interest under applicable Interest Law that is taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Mortgage or otherwise
in connection with this loan transaction shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan
transaction. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for, or
shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, in the Note or in any of the
documents securing payment of the Note or otherwise relating thereto, then in
such event (a)
-24-
the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Mortgagor
nor Mortgagor's heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns or any other
party liable for the payment of the Note shall be obligated to pay the amount of
such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of
interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, (c)
any excess shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if there
tofore paid, shall be credited on the Note by Mortgagee (or if the Note shall
have been paid in full, refunded to Mortgagor) and (d) the effective rate of
interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Rate allowed
under such Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate
jurisdiction. All sums paid or agreed to be paid the Mortgagee for the use,
forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall, to the
extent permitted by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Note.
6.7 UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any provision hereof
is invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions hereof will remain in full
force and effect and will be liberally construed in favor of Mortgagee in order
to carry out the provisions hereof.
6.8 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. Each and every right, power and remedy herein
given to Mortgagee will be cumulative and not exclusive, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing
may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by Mortgagee, and the exercise, or the beginning of the
exercise, of any such right, power or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of the
right to exercise, at the same time or thereafter, any other right, power or
remedy. No delay or omission by Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power
or remedy will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver
thereof or of any other right, power or remedy then or thereafter existing.
6.9 WAIVER BY MORTGAGEE. Any and all covenants in this instrument may
from time to time by instrument in writing by the Mortgagee, be waived to such
extent and in such manner as Mortgagee may desire, but no such waiver will ever
affect or impair Mortgagee's rights hereunder, except to the extent specifically
stated in such written instrument. All changes to and modifications of this
instrument must be in writing by authentic act and signed by Mortgagee.
6.10 TERMS. The term "Mortgagor" as used in this instrument will be
construed as singular or plural to correspond with the number of persons
executing this instrument as Mortgagor. If more than one person executes this
instrument as Mortgagor, their duties, covenants, warranties and liabilities
under this instrument will be joint, several and in solido, and any occurrence
of an Event of Default as to one Mortgagor shall be deemed an Event of Default
as to each Mortgagor. The terms "Mortgagee" and "Mortgagor" as used in this
instrument include the heirs, executors or administrators, successors,
representatives, receivers, and assigns of those parties. This instrument is
binding upon Mortgagor, Mortgagor's successors and assigns, as well as upon
any person, firm or corporation hereafter acquiring title to any
-25-
of the Collateral by, through or under Mortgagor and will inure to the benefit
of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.
6.1 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INSTRUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO THE

This Exhibit A sets forth the description of the Oil and Gas Properties

Capitalized terms used in this Preamble and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Mortgage.
1. This Exhibit A consists of descriptions of oil, gas and
mineral leases, overriding royalties and other interests covering lands located
within the State of Louisiana or federal lands located on the Outer Continental
Shelf and offshore of the State of Louisiana. The heading for each lease or
group of leases includes Mortgagor's internal prospect name.
2. Exhibit A includes one or more pages with the following
subheadings:
Leases: The description of the lease or leases in which Mortgagor owns
an interest covered by this Exhibit. Where applicable, the
original lessor and lessee, Federal Lease Number, the date of
the lease, the lands covered by the lease and other descriptive
information relating to the lease is set forth.
Limitations: The information next to this subheading describes the areas
under each lease in which Mortgagor owns an interest. Such
description shall include all of Mortgagor's right, title and
interest in the oil, gas and mineral leases and other interests
listed in this Exhibit and not any interest in excess thereof.
If "none" appears, there are no limitations on Mortgagor's
interest in the areas or depths under the lease.
Contract List: Exhibit A may include one or more pages with the heading
"Contract List" which list certain agreements that affect
Mortgagor's interest in the oil, gas and mineral leases and
other interests, and Mortgagor's interest in the xxxxx or units
described or referred to in the Exhibit, which oil, gas and
mineral leases and other interests and xxxxx or units are
located in the prospect identified in the heading of the page of
the Exhibit, to the extent such agreements are in force and
effect. The reference to such agreements shall not constitute a
ratification or other recognition of the validity or
effectiveness of such agreements or otherwise revive same. Such
contracts are referred to by the type of agreement and affects
Mortgagor's interest in oil, gas and mineral leases and other
interests. Also shown is the date or the effective date of the
agreement and amendments thereto, and the parties to the
agreement.
Ownership
Interests: Exhibit A includes Mortgagor's Working Interest and the Mortgagor's
Net Revenue Interest (identified as Mortgaged Interest) for certain
xxxxx, units or areas covered by a lease. The xxxxx or units are
located in the prospect identified in the heading of the exhibit,
and the prospect is located in the parish of the State of Louisiana
referred to in the description or on federal lands located on the
Outer Continental Shelf and offshore of the State of Louisiana. The
xxxxx or units in the particular prospect are located upon the
lands covered by the oil, gas and mineral leases, overriding
royalties or other interests described in the exhibit that relates
to that prospect or lands pooled therewith. The descriptions
include the following:
Well or
Unit Name: The particular well or unit located within
the prospect identified in the heading.
Working
Interest: Mortgagor's Working Interest.
Net Revenue
Interest: Mortgagor's Net Revenue Interest.
The Working Interests and Net Revenue Interests are computed and
set out herein after taking into account all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of the agreements and other instruments
listed on the "Contract List".
The Mortgagor's Net Revenue Interest means (i) with respect to a
unit for which the Mortgagor's Net Revenue Interest is stated, that
interest in the applicable oil or gas production produced, saved
and sold from such unitized, pooled, communitized or participating
areas with respect to the existing interval in which the well or
xxxxx located on such unit are completed, which is owned by the
Mortgagor by virtue of its ownership of the Mortgagor's Working
Interest in the leases included in whole or in part in such area
after deducting all burdens against the production therefrom, and
(ii) with respect to a well for which the Mortgagor's Net Revenue
Interest is stated, that interest in the existing interval in which
such well is completed for production after deducting all burdens
against the production therefrom which is owned by the Mortgagor by
virtue of its ownership of the Mortgagor's Working Interest in the
lease on which such well is located.
"Before Payout" and "After Payout" refer to the Mortgagor's Working
Interest and the Mortgagor's Net Revenue Interest "before payout"
and "after payout" as
defined in the applicable joint operating agreement or other
instrument affecting the well or unit as denoted in the Exhibit.
Mortgagor's interest may decrease or increase as a result of a
reversionary interest, an operation wherein Mortgagor has paid
costs attributable to the interest of a non-consenting party or a
con senting party has paid costs attributable to the interest of
Mortgagor as a non-consenting party, and the consenting party is
entitled to recover a percentage of its cost, or other circumstance
which triggers an increase or decrease in such interest. Mortgagor
makes no undertaking concerning the terms and conditions of the
reversion or the status of payout, the costs that may be recovered,
whether or when such recovery has occurred or will occur, or, in
the case of an election, what election will be made. If more than
one reversionary interest, non-consent operation or other
circumstance affects a well or unit, "After Payout" refers to the
occurrence of the reversion of the last of the reversionary
interest, recoupment or such other circumstance.
