Re: Fifth Forbearance Agreement; Forbearance Period Advances
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Agreement”) sets forth (i) the fifth forbearance agreement among Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Infinity Texas”), Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Infinity Wyoming” and, together with Infinity Texas, “Guarantors”; Guarantors and Borrower are referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Parties”), and Amegy Bank, N.A. (“Lender”) and (ii) the terms and conditions of certain forbearance period advances to be made under the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined). The Credit Parties and Lender previously entered into a Forbearance Agreement dated August 31, 2007 (the “First Forbearance Agreement”), a Second Forbearance Agreement dated March 26, 2008 (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”), a Third Forbearance Agreement dated October 16, 2008 (the “Third Forbearance Agreement”) and a Fourth Forbearance Agreement dated December 4, 2009 (the “Fourth Forbearance Agreement” and, together with the First Forbearance Agreement, the Second Forbearance Agreement and the Third Forbearance Agreement, the “Forbearance Agreements”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms below have the meanings assigned in the Loan Agreement dated January 9, 2007, among the Credit Parties and Lender, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”).
1. Forbearance. Subject to the complete satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 19 hereof, Lender and the Credit Parties hereby agree to a forbearance period commencing as of January 31, 2010, and continuing through December 31, 2011, unless terminated earlier due to a Default, as defined in Section 20 hereof (such period, the “Forbearance Period”). During the Forbearance Period, but subject to the occurrence of a Default, Lender will forebear from exercising any remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Note, the Security Documents (as used herein, Security Documents shall include the Security Agreement defined in Section 16 of the Fourth Forbearance Agreement), the Guaranties, and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). The Credit Parties agree that all statutes of limitation with respect to enforcement of any Transaction Document will be tolled during the Forbearance Period and for ninety (90) days thereafter.
2. Revolving Loan. The “Termination Date” as defined in the Loan Agreement is hereby extended until 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) on December 31, 2011; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision in any Transaction Document to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) Borrower shall not be entitled to any further advances on the Revolving Loan, except as expressly set forth in Section 3 and Section 6 hereof, and (b) any advance made by Lender under the Loan Agreement (i) prior to the date hereof or (ii) at any time during the Forbearance Period, in each case, in excess of the Borrowing Base then in effect, and notwithstanding the existence of any Deficiency (as defined in any Forbearance Agreement, as applicable), constitutes a Revolving Loan.

(e) Interest on Forbearance Period Advances.

(ii) Interest payable pursuant to Section 3(e)(i) hereof shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Forbearance Period Advance, the date of the making of such Forbearance Period Advance shall be included, and the date of payment of such Forbearance Period Advance shall be excluded; provided, if a Forbearance Period Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Forbearance Period Advance.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default (as defined in Section 20 hereof), the principal amount of all Forbearance Period Advances outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Forbearance Period Advances or any fees or other amounts then due and owing hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 3.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Forbearance Period Advances (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts then due and owing hereunder, at a rate which is 3.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the Forbearance Period Advances). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 3(f) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default (as defined in Section 20 hereof) or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

The Nicaragua Letters of Credit shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to Lender and shall be for a term of up to one year and, if necessary, to renew automatically unless Xxxxxx gives prior written notice. Borrower will sign and deliver Xxxxxx’s customary forms for the issuance of Letters of Credit.

8. Subordinate Loans. [Borrower has entered into one or more subordinate loans in an aggregate amount equal to $1,275,000.00, which are subordinated to the Loans (the “Subordinate Loans”). The Subordinate Loans are secured by security documents on a fully-subordinated basis.]1 Unless otherwise agreed by Xxxxxx in writing, the proceeds from the Subordinate Loans may be used by Borrower for general and administrative expenses in excess of the monthly limit set forth below or for development of the Nicaragua Concessions.
9. Cash Flow. Borrower agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable best efforts (a) to cause the contribution of cash to Borrower to the extent necessary so that Borrower’s consolidated cash flow is a minimum of break even, after payment of interest expense on the Revolving Loan, (b) to prevent any additional accounts payable from becoming past due, and (c) to prevent any additional mineral liens under Chapter 56 of the Texas Property Code or similar applicable law from being filed against the Properties.
10. Lockbox. The Credit Parties agree that the following provisions continue to apply:
(a) The Credit Parties will direct all production proceeds attributable to their oil and gas properties to be paid to a lockbox account to be set up and maintained with Lender for the purpose of collection of production proceeds (the “Lockbox Account”).
(b) All production proceeds received in the Lockbox Account by Lender with respect to production, severance, ad valorem, or other taxes on production proceeds (excluding income taxes) or that are attributable to another person’s or entities’ royalty or other interest in the oil and gas properties shall be released immediately to Borrower upon Borrower’s request and verification of those amounts. The Credit Parties shall provide evidence of the timely payment of production, severance, ad valorem, or other taxes on production proceeds (excluding income taxes) and of the royalty and overriding royalty owners; provided, however, that no royalties and overriding royalty interests owned by the Credit Parties or any affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) thereof shall be paid from the Lockbox Account proceeds.

(d) At Borrower’s request, production proceeds in the Lockbox Account may be used to pay operating expenses, general and administrative expenses (subject to the limits in Section 15 below), and capital expenditures, all as approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or denied). The Credit Parties shall not pay in any month operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, or capital expenditures exceeding the aggregate budgeted expenses for each such category for that month set forth pursuant to Section 10(c) above, unless Lender has approved such payments.
