AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows.

SECTION 1. THE LOAN FACILITY

1.1 Amount of Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Lender agrees to lend, and the Borrower agrees to borrow, upon the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, in one or more advances (each an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”), the principal sum up to the aggregate amount of the Loan for the purposes described above. The Loan is not a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, upon repayment of any Advance, the Borrower shall not have any right to reborrow any amounts repaid to Lender subject to the terms of this Agreement.

1.2 Advances.

(a) The maximum outstanding principal amount of the Loan is Seventy-Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) (the “Maximum Advance Amount”). Advances of the Loan shall be available from the date hereof to and including the second (2^nd) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Final Draw Date”). Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9 below, the Borrower may request an Advance from time to time during the period from the date hereof until the Final Draw Date, the form of which request is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the cumulative outstanding amount of all Advances of the Loan made hereunder exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. The timing of the disbursements of any Advance shall be contingent upon the receipt by the Lender of the proceeds of the Bonds.

(b) The Loan availability under this Section shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the Note (defined below) and by the Loan Documents (defined below). At the option of the Lender, an Advance may be made on a current pay basis whereby the Borrower makes monthly payments to the Lender of interest only (“Current Pay Advance”).

(c) Each Advance may have a different term of maturity dates. In general, (i) the maturity date, payment terms and interest rate applicable to each Current Pay Advance shall be as set forth in Schedule 1 to the Subordinate Master Credit Note (Current Pay) (the “Current Pay Note) from the Borrower to the Lender dated as of the date hereof and evidencing the Loan.

(d) Regardless of the Maximum Advance Amount, no Advance may cause the Loan to exceed the borrowing limits set forth in Section 1.4 below. The Lender will evaluate each Advance request independently from any other Advances, which evaluation and funding shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein.

1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan will be used solely for the purpose of (i) purchasing mineral rights and non-operated working interests, as well as additional asset acquisitions, (ii) to finance potential drilling and exploration operations of one or more subsidiaries of the Borrower, and (iii) other working capital needs.

1.4 Borrowing Limits. The aggregate outstanding amount of all Advances shall not exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the aggregate total discounted present value of the Collateral (defined below) subject to the lien of one or more Mortgages, after deducting any allocable amount securing any outstanding Senior Debt (defined below) (the “Loan-to-Value Ratio”), which value shall be determined by one or more reserve studies obtained from time to time (each a “Reserve Study” and collectively, the “Reserve Studies”) as reported on an annual basis by the Borrower to the Lender. For purposes of this Section, a Reserve Study shall be determined by an independent, qualified third party, as selected and/or approved by the Lender in its sole discretion. Once approved by the Lender, the Reserve Study determined shall be conclusive and, until an updated Reserve Study is obtained, shall be the basis for calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratio. In the event the aggregate outstanding Advances exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio, such event shall not be deemed and Event of Default; and the Borrower shall cure such deficiency by either pledging additional Collateral or repaying a portion of the Loan until the Loan-to-Value Ratio is met.

1.5 Prepayment; Redemption. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. To the extent the underlying Bonds are accelerated, prepaid or redeemed, in whole or in part, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay, prepay or redeem, in whole or in part, as applicable, all or any part of an outstanding indebtedness under the Note or this Agreement, on the same terms as the underlying Bonds.

1.6 Loan Documents. This Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages (as defined below) and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant or subject hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”

2.2 The Borrower may, upon prior written notice to, but without the consent of, the Lender, release, add or substitute any portion of the Collateral, provided, however, that before and immediately following such release, addition or substitution, the Loan-to-Value ratio of the remaining Collateral will be less than or equal to eighty-five percent (85%) after deducting the amount securing any outstanding Senior Debt. The Lender will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release, addition or substitution, as applicable, of such Collateral, including the amendment of the applicable Mortgage.

All payments of Senior Debt then due must be satisfied before any current payment of the Loan may be made.

3.2 Lien Subordination. The Mortgages shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, other similar instrument, or any other encumbrance(s) which may now or which may at any time hereafter be made upon the Collateral to secure the Senior Debt.

3

3.3 Self-Operative. The subordination herein shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to effect the subordination and shall apply with respect to all advances, extensions, renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations or substitutions of the Loan or the Loan Documents.

3.4 Additional Documentation. The Lender hereby agrees to execute at the Borrower’s request and expense, any instrument that the Borrower or any lender may deem necessary or desirable to effect the subordination of this Agreement to any such mortgage, deed of trust, or other similar instrument executed in connection with the Senior Debt.
