Re:          Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter sets forth the Loan Agreement (this “Loan Agreement”) among TENGASCO, INC. (“Borrower”), a Delaware corporation; TENNESSEE LAND & MINERAL CORPORATION (“TLMC”), TENGASCO PIPELINE CORPORATION (“TPC”) and MANUFACTURED METHANE CORPORATION (“MMC”) (each of TLMC, TPC, and MMC are a “Guarantor” and collectively “Guarantors”); and PROSPERITY BANK, successor by merger to The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“Lender”), a Texas state banking association, with respect to loans from Lender to Borrower and obligations of Borrower and Guarantors to Lender.  This Loan Agreement amends and restates the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 29, 2006, between Borrower and Lender’s predecessor-in-interest, Citibank, N.A., a national banking association formerly known as Citibank Texas, N.A., as Agent and as a Bank, which was succeeded first by Sovereign Bank and then by Lender.

1.             Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith (collectively the “Loan Documents”), Lender agrees to make a revolving loan in the maximum amount of $50,000,000.00 to Borrower (the “Revolving Loan”) on the terms set forth in the Revolving Promissory Note attached as Exhibit A to this Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Note”).  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow on a revolving basis from time to time during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on July 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”) such amounts as Borrower may request under the Revolving Loan; provided, however, the total principal amount outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate sums permitted under the Borrowing Base (as defined below), which is initially set at $1,250,000.00 or (ii) $50,000,000.00.  All sums advanced under the Revolving Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term hereof, Borrower shall reduce the principal balance to $0 for at least one period of thirty (30) consecutive days during the period between March 16, 2017 and the Maturity Date.

(b)       The unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note shall bear interest from the date advanced until paid or until Event of Default (as defined below) or the Maturity Date at the floating rate per annum set forth in the Revolving Note.

(c)       Advances on the Revolving Loan may be used only for the following purposes: (i) the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas reserves, (ii) the issuance of Letters of Credit (as defined below), (iii) capital expenditures, and (iv) working capital purposes.

Lender may require Borrower to give notice to Lender of any requested advance on the Revolving Loan, in the form of the Request for Borrowing attached as Exhibit B, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Tulsa, Oklahoma time) on the date of the requested advance.  Lender may also allow Borrower to provide the notice of advance telephonically if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of Request for Borrowing. Lender may also allow Borrower to transfer funds from Borrower’s operating account to the Revolving Loan via Lender’s online banking system in lieu of the Request for Borrowing.

(d)       At the request of Borrower, Lender may from time to time issue one or more letters of credit for the account of Borrower or any affiliates (the “Letters of Credit”); provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit if:  (i) the conditions set forth in Subsection (b) of Section 5 are not met, (ii) the form of the Letter of Credit is not acceptable to Lender, (iii) issuance of the Letter of Credit will not comply with the purposes and provisions of Subsection (c) of Section 1 of the Loan Agreement, or (iv) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (the “LC Exposure”) will exceed ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base.  Borrower’s availability on the Revolving Loan will be reduced by the LC Exposure.  Any fundings under any Letters of Credit will be treated as an advance on the Revolving Loan and will be secured by the Security Documents (as defined below).  All Letters of Credit shall be for a term of up to one year (or longer if necessary for regulatory requirements) but shall expire not later than five days prior to the Maturity Date unless adequately secured by cash collateral held by Lender.  Unless Lender expressly agrees otherwise, no Letter of Credit will be issued for the benefit of a third-party counterparty as security for any Hedge Transactions (as defined below).  Borrower will sign and deliver Lender’s customary forms for the issuance of Letters of Credit and pay the Letter of Credit Fee set forth below.

(e)       At the request of Borrower and in the sole discretion of Lender, Lender may from time to time issue one or more auction letters or letters of guarantee in connection with auctions or other purchases of oil and gas properties by Borrower.  Each auction letter and letter of guarantee will have an expiration date not longer than ten (10) days from the date of the letter. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Borrower’s availability on the Revolving Loan will be reduced by the aggregate maximum amount stated in all unexpired auction letters and letters of guarantee until Lender is satisfied that (i) Borrower was unsuccessful in the auction or purchase, or (ii) Borrower consummates the purchase of the oil and gas properties.  Any

fundings pursuant to an auction letter or letter of guarantee will be treated as an advance on the Revolving Loan and will be secured by the Security Documents.  Borrower agrees to pay to Lender its customary fees for issuance of each auction letter and letter of guarantee.

(f)        Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the following fees that are non- refundable and earned by Lender upon execution of this Loan Agreement unless otherwise stated:

(i)         Upon execution of this Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay

Lender an Origination Fee in the amount of $9,375.00.

(ii)        Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an Unused Fee equal to three- eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days) of the average for the period of calculation of an amount determined daily equal to the difference between the Borrowing Base and the sum of the following (collectively the “Aggregate Exposure”): (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan at such time, plus (ii) the LC Exposure.  This Unused Fee is payable quarterly within ten (10) days of Borrower’s receipt of an invoice from Lender, setting forth evidence of the calculation of the Unused Fee for the preceding calendar quarter.

(iii)       Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a Letter of Credit Fee equal to the greater of (x) $500 or (y) two percent (2.0%) per annum, calculated on the aggregated stated amount of each Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed as if each year consisted of 360 days), due upon issuance.  Any renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit will be treated as a new issuance for the purpose of the Letter of Credit fees.

(iv)       Upon each subsequent unscheduled redetermination of the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower, Borrower will pay a Redetermination Fee in the amount of $5,000.00, in addition to applicable fees.

(g)       The Revolving Loan, all other loans now or hereafter made by Lender to Borrower, and any renewals or extensions of or substitutions for those loans, will be referred to collectively as the “Loans.”  The Revolving Note, all other promissory notes now or hereafter payable by Borrower to Lender, and any renewals or extensions of or substitutions for those notes, will be referred to collectively as the “Notes.”

(h)       So long as there are no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Note, no outstanding Letters of Credit, and no outstanding Hedge Transactions with Lender or any Hedge Provider, Borrower may terminate the Revolving Loan by providing three (3) days written notice to Lender.  After Borrower has provided such notice to Lender, Borrower may not make any additional advances on the Revolving Loan, request the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or enter into any Hedge Transaction with Lender or any Hedge Provider.  Upon expiration of the three

day notice, this Loan Agreement shall terminate, except for any provisions that expressly survive the termination.

2.             Collateral.  (a)  Payment of the Notes, the Hedge Liabilities (as defined below), all obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, all other obligations, fees, and expenses due pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all obligations, fees, and expenses with respect to treasury and cash management services, and all other secured indebtedness under the Security Documents (collectively the “Secured Obligations”) will be secured by the first liens and first security interests created or described in the following (collectively the “Security Documents”): (i) a Kansas Mortgage, Assignment of Production, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of June 29, 2006, executed by Tengasco, Inc. and Tennessee Land & Mineral Corporation originally in favor of Citibank Texas, N.A. (now known as Citibank, N.A.) and now in favor of Lender, as from time to time amended (the “Mortgage”); (ii) a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated March 16, 2017, executed by Borrower in favor of Lender, and covering all personal property of Borrower; and (iii) any other security documents now or hereafter executed in connection with the Loans, the Hedge Liabilities, or any other Secured Obligations. All oil and gas properties now or hereafter mortgaged to Lender by Borrower, including the oil and gas properties covered by the Mortgage will be referred to as the “Properties.”  If requested by Lender, Borrower will execute in favor of Lender mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, or amendments, in Proper Form (as defined below), mortgaging any additional oil and gas properties and all additional interests in the Properties acquired by Borrower so that Lender will continuously maintain under mortgage not less than eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate present value (as calculated by Lender in its sole discretion in accordance with the methods set forth below for the Borrowing Base) assigned to Borrower’s oil and gas properties based upon Lender’s most-recent in-house evaluation.  The term “Proper Form” means in form, substance, and detail satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.

(b)       (i) Payment of the Secured Obligations are guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to a Restated Guaranty (collectively the “Guaranties” and each a “Guaranty”).  The Secured Obligations shall also be guaranteed by all existing and hereafter acquired companies, subsidiaries, or partnerships of Borrower; and Borrower agrees to cause all such companies, subsidiaries, and partnerships to execute and deliver guaranties in Proper Form to Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of any Guaranties, to the extent that a Guarantor is not an “eligible contract participant” and is not deemed to be an “eligible contract participant” by virtue of the keepwell covenant set forth in Subparagraph (ii) of Subsection (b) of Section 2 below, in either case, when required under the Commodity Exchange Act, the Hedge Liabilities that are guaranteed under such Guarantor’s Guaranty shall exclude any Excluded

Swap Obligation.  As used in this Loan Agreement, the following terms have the meanings assigned below:

(1)          “Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, any successor statute, and all regulations promulgated thereunder.

(2)          “Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Hedge Liability if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guaranty of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, as applicable, such Hedge Liability (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act, or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof), by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure to constitute an “eligible contract participant,” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor or grant of security by such Guarantor becomes or would become effective with respect to such Hedge Liability.  If a Hedge Liability arises under a master agreement governing more than one Hedge Liability, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Hedge Liabilities that is attributable to the Hedge Liability for which such guarantee or security interest, as applicable, is or becomes illegal.

(3)          “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Hedge Liability, each Guarantor that is not an individual and that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000.00 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Hedge Liability, or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act, and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell covenant under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(4)          “Subsidiaries” shall mean entities for which Borrower owns, directly or indirectly, interests having more than fifty-one percent (51%) of the outstanding ownership or fifty-one percent (51%) of the ordinary voting power for the election of directors or managers of such entity.

(ii)        Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under its respective Guaranty in respect of Hedge Liabilities; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Subparagraph (ii) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Subparagraph (ii), or otherwise under its own Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Subparagraph (ii) shall remain in full force and effect until discharged.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Subparagraph (ii) constitute, and this Subparagraph (ii) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.  The terms and provisions of this Subparagraph (ii) of Subsection (b) of Section 2 are hereby incorporated by reference into each of the Guaranties.

(c)       In connection with the Mortgage and at such time as Lender requires Borrower to mortgage additional oil and gas properties, Borrower shall, upon request of Lender, deliver to Lender title opinions and/or other title information acceptable to Lender  covering at least eighty percent (80%) of the present value (as determined by Lender in the manner set forth for Borrowing Base determinations below) of the Properties and the oil and gas properties which are to become Properties, along with such other information regarding title as Lender shall reasonably request, all in Proper Form and from attorneys or landmen acceptable to Lender. Lender reserves the right to immediately exclude any oil and gas property from the Borrowing Base if Lender learns of any material title issue with respect to the oil and gas property or if Lender’s review of Borrower’s title to the oil and gas property indicates that Borrower’s title is unacceptable to Lender, in its sole discretion.

(d)       After an Event of Default (as defined below) that remains uncured after the expiration of any notice and cure period required by this Loan Agreement, or if there is an existing Borrowing Base deficiency that is not addressed by Borrower in accordance with Subsection (b) of Section 3 below, Lender reserves the right to require Borrower to set up a lockbox account to be managed by Lender for the purpose of collection of production proceeds attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties.  Borrower agrees that upon Lender’s election to require the lockbox after an Event of Default, Lender will receive the proceeds of oil and gas produced from or attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties for application to the Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its discretion; and Borrower hereby directs all production purchasers or operators distributing proceeds to pay Borrower’s distributions attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties directly to Lender, if Lender so elects.  All production proceeds attributable to the Properties received in the lockbox account by Lender that are attributable to another person’s or entities’ interest in the Properties shall be released immediately to Borrower upon Borrower’s request.  All production proceeds attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties received in the lockbox account by Lender in excess of the current scheduled monthly payment and any other fees or expenses owed to Lender will be transferred to Borrower at the end of each month for its use consistent with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, so long as there is no existing Event of Default.  If the production proceeds attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties received by Lender during any month are not sufficient to make the scheduled monthly payment, Borrower will pay Lender the deficiency within ten (10) days.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this Loan Agreement, Borrower will sign and deliver to Lender letters in lieu of transfer orders to all purchasers of production directing those parties to pay all proceeds attributable to Borrower’s interest in the Properties to the lockbox account, and these letters, signed in blank, will be held by Lender until such time as Lender elects to require the lockbox after an Event of Default in accordance with this Subsection (d) of Section 2.

(e)       Unless a security interest would be prohibited by law or would render a nontaxable account taxable, Borrower grants to Lender a contractual possessory security interest in, and hereby assigns, pledges, and transfers to Lender all Borrower’s rights in any deposits or accounts now or hereafter maintained with Lender (whether checking, savings, or any other account), excluding, however, accounts maintained by Borrower at Lender for the purpose of revenue distribution to third parties entitled to those revenues and any other accounts held by Borrower for the benefit of a third party.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff any sums owing on the Secured Obligations against any and all such deposits and accounts; and Lender shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset and banker’s lien against all such accounts and other property or assets of Borrower with or in the possession of Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Secured Obligations.

3.             Borrowing Base.  (a) On or about March 31st and September 30th of each year, and at any other time and from time to time while this Loan Agreement is in force, Lender may determine or redetermine, in its sole discretion, a Borrowing Base.  In addition, Lender may require an unscheduled redetermination at any time and from time to time, and Borrower shall have the right to request an unscheduled redetermination of the Borrowing Base by Lender once per six-month period between scheduled redeterminations, and Lender shall conduct such redetermination using the methods described in this Section.  The term “Borrowing Base” refers to the designated loan value (as calculated by Lender in its sole discretion) assigned to the discounted present value of future net income accruing to Borrower’s oil and gas properties (and related gathering systems and processing and plant operations) based upon Lender’s in-house evaluation.  Lender’s determination of the Borrowing Base will use such methodology, assumptions, and discount rates customarily used by Lender with respect to credits of a similar size and nature in assigning collateral value to oil and gas properties and will be based upon such other credit factors or financial information available to Lender at the time of each determination, including, without limitation, current market conditions and Borrower’s assets, liabilities, cash flow, liquidity, business, properties, prospects, management, and ownership. Borrower acknowledges that increases in the Borrowing Base are subject to appropriate credit approval by Lender and may be subject to additional terms and conditions.

(b)       The sum of the outstanding principal balance owing on the Revolving Notes, plus the LC Exposure (collectively the “Aggregate Exposure”), may not exceed the Borrowing Base at any time, subject to the payout provisions below in the event of a Borrowing Base decrease.  A decrease in the Borrowing Base will result in an immediate decrease in Lender’s commitment under the Revolving Loan.  If the redetermined Borrowing Base is less than the Aggregate Exposure, Lender will notify Borrower of the amount of the Borrowing Base and the amount of the deficiency.  Within ten (10) days after notice is sent by Lender, Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of its intention to remedy the deficiency by one or more of the following:  (i) making a lump sum payment on the Revolving Note within thirty (30) days after the deficiency notice is sent by Lender to reduce the Aggregate Exposure to an amount equal to or less than the new Borrowing Base; or (ii) mortgaging additional collateral, which must be acceptable to Lender as to type, value, and title, within thirty (30) days after the deficiency notice is sent by Lender.

(c)       At the time of any redetermination, Lender reserves the right to establish an equal Monthly Commitment Reduction (“MCR”) amount by which the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced effective as of each calendar month until the next Borrowing Base redetermination.  Lender’s determination of the MCR will use such methodology, assumptions, and discount rates customarily used by Lender with respect to credits of a similar size and nature in determining commitment reductions and will be based upon such other credit factors or financial information available to Lender at the time of each determination, including, without limitation, the economic half-life of the Properties, and Borrower’s assets, liabilities, cash flow, liquidity, business, properties, prospects, management, and ownership.  The MCR will initially be set at zero dollars ($0).  If the Aggregate Exposure shall exceed the Borrowing Base solely because of an MCR reduction, Borrower shall promptly make a single lump sum payment in an amount not to exceed the MCR to reduce the Aggregate Exposure below the Borrowing Base.  If the Aggregate Exposure shall exceed the Borrowing Base because of a Borrowing Base redetermination (or a Borrowing Base redetermination combined with a required MCR), Borrower shall have the right to cure set forth in Subsection (b) above; provided, however, that if the MCR was applicable before the Borrowing Base redetermination, then the MCR amount will be due in a lump sum and Lender may continue the MCR at the same amount or change the MCR effective on the redetermination date.

(d)       If Borrower sells, transfers, or otherwise disposes of any oil and gas properties included in the Borrowing Base that have a present value according to the reserve report meeting the requirements of Section 9(a)(4) below (the “Reserve Report”) used for the most-recent Borrowing Base redetermination in excess of five percent (5%) of the most-recent Borrowing Base, Lender reserves the right to redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 3, which redetermination will be in addition to any special redeterminations

permitted to Lender under Subsection (a) above.  Any Borrowing Base deficiency resulting from

the sale of any oil and gas properties shall be immediately reduced by a single lump sum payment in an amount not to exceed the net proceeds from the sale of the oil and gas properties, and any remaining deficiency after the Borrowing Base redetermination shall be cured by Borrower pursuant to Subsection (b) above.

4.             Xxxxxx and Swaps.  (a)  Definitions.  As used in this Loan Agreement and the

Loan Documents, the following terms have the meanings assigned below:

(i)         “ISDA Agreement” means any International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement or any similar agreement (with all related schedules, annexes, exhibits, amendments, and confirmations), now existing or hereafter entered into by Borrower, as amended, modified, replaced, consolidated, extended, renewed, or supplemented from time to time.

(ii)        “Hedge Transaction” means all Transactions (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) and any other commodity swap (including price protection for future production of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbons or mineral or mining interests and rights therein), commodity option, interest rate swap (including rate hedge products), basis or currency or cross- currency rate swap, forward rate, cap, call, floor, put, collar, future rate, forward agreement, spot contract, or other credit, price, foreign exchange, rate, equity, equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, rate protection agreement, currency option, or other option, or commodities derivative, exchange, risk management, or protection agreement, or commodity, securities, index, market, or price-linked transaction or agreement, or any option with respect to any such transaction or similar transaction or combination of any of the foregoing, now existing or hereafter entered into by Borrower, whether linked to one or more interest rates, foreign currencies, commodity prices, equity prices, indexes, or other financial measures and whether such transactions or combinations thereof are governed by or subject to any ISDA Agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement, including all obligations and liabilities thereunder, and including all renewals, extensions, amendments, and other modifications or substitutions.

(iii)       “Hedge Liabilities” means any and all liabilities and  obligations of every nature and howsoever created, direct, indirect, absolute, contingent, or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising, created, or accrued, of Borrower from time to time owed or owing to any Hedge Provider in connection with any ISDA Agreement [and each Transaction (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) and each Confirmation (as defined in the ISDA Agreement)] or any Hedge Transaction, including, but not limited to, obligations and liabilities arising in connection with or as a result of early or premature termination, cancellation, rescission, buy back, reversal, or assignment or other transfer of a Hedge Transaction, and including any obligations or liabilities under any Letters of Credit issued in connection with Hedge Transactions to which another entity is a counter-party, whether for principal, interest (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in  bankruptcy with respect to such obligor, would have accrued on such obligation, whether or not a claim is allowed for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceedings), reimbursement obligations, fees, expenses, indemnification, or otherwise.

(iv)      “Hedge Provider” means Lender, any affiliate of Lender, or any other third party approved by Lender now or hereafter entering into an agreement with Borrower with respect to any Hedge Transactions; provided, however, it is agreed and understood that Borrower is not obligated to enter into any Hedge Transaction and Borrower may hedge at its sole option and election as long as the terms of such Hedge Transaction are in accordance with the hedging terms in this Loan Agreement.

(b)       ISDA Agreement.  At Borrower’s sole option and discretion, Borrower and Hedge Provider may enter into an ISDA Agreement, governing certain Hedge Transactions available to Borrower from Hedge Provider; provided, however, that any ISDA Agreement among Borrower and any Hedge Provider must not provide for any collateral or credit support other than as provided under the Security Documents.  Borrower may enter into Transactions (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) subject to the provisions of Confirmations (as defined in the ISDA Agreement).

(c)       Security.  Upon the written agreement of Borrower and Lender, the Security Documents and the Guaranties shall secure payment of all Hedge Liabilities.

(d)       Required Xxxxxx and Termination.  Borrower, at its sole option and discretion, may enter into Hedge Transactions at such volumes and prices as Lender may reasonably approve in writing in connection with the Properties included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base including, without limitation, those set forth herein.  If Borrower elects to enter into a Hedge Transaction, to the extent any Hedge Transaction is used in calculation of the Borrowing Base even if not required, then such Hedge Transaction cannot be cancelled, liquidated, or “unwound” without the prior written consent of Lender.

(e)       Hedging Limitations.  Borrower shall not enter into any Hedge Transaction related to crude oil, natural gas, or other commodities, except hedging approved in writing by Lender and except for Hedge Transactions which meet the following requirements:

(i)         Hedge Transactions resulting in a cap or ceiling on the price to be received by Borrower, involving in the aggregate at any time not more than eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s anticipated production from its proved developed producing oil and gas

properties (as forecast in Lender’s most recent  engineering valuation of Borrower’s oil and gas properties) and calculated separately for oil and for natural gas; provided, however, that Borrower may enter into Hedge Transactions resulting only in a floor price per barrel or mcf that exceed these volume limitations to the extent that Borrower reasonably anticipates increased production from its oil and gas properties; and

(ii)        Hedge Transactions that would not result in a cap or ceiling price per barrel or mcf lower than the base case price used by Lender in the most-recent engineering evaluation of Borrower’s oil and gas properties, adjusted for variances between the hedging price and Borrower’s actual product price as determined by Lender, or otherwise at hedging prices acceptable to Lender; and

(iii)       Hedge Transactions that would result in a cap or ceiling price per barrel or mcf higher than or equal to the base case price used by Lender in the most-recent engineering evaluation of Borrower’s oil and gas properties, adjusted for variances between the hedging price and Borrower’s actual product price as determined by Lender, or otherwise at hedging prices acceptable to Lender; and

(iv)      Hedge Transactions that would result in a fixed price per barrel or mcf higher than or equal to the base case price used by Lender in the most-recent engineering evaluation of Borrower’s oil and gas properties, adjusted for variances between the hedging price and Borrower’s actual product price as determined by Lender, or otherwise at hedging prices acceptable to Lender; and

(v)       Hedge Transactions that include a “price floor” or comparable financial hedge or risk management agreement acceptable to Lender in all respects (including, without limitation, price and term); and

(vi)      Hedge Transactions that are each for a period not to exceed twenty-four (24) months or twelve (12) months beyond the Maturity Date; and

(vii)     Hedge Transactions where, in each case, the underlying contracts are with Hedge Provider, as counterparty, with a counter-party (or the parent entity thereof) approved in writing by Lender and who at the time the contract is made has long-term obligations rated BBB+ or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Baa1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc., or with a counter-party that is otherwise approved by Lender in writing; and

(viii)    Hedge Transactions that are not effective at concurrent or overlapping periods of time on the same volumes of production on both a physical and financial basis, unless the combined volumes are in compliance with the volume limitations set forth above; and

(ix)       Hedge Transactions with respect to which no margin account is established or maintained and which provide for no collateral security or posted collateral to be due from Borrower under any circumstances, other than the security provided to Hedge Providers under the Security Documents; and

(x)        Hedge Transactions that are otherwise in form, content, and substance acceptable to Lender.

At its sole option and discretion, Borrower may also enter into swaps, collars, floors, caps, options, corridors, or other contracts, as such terms are commonly known within the capital markets, which are intended to reduce or eliminate the risk of fluctuation in interest rates for the purpose and effect of fixing and capping interest rates on a principal amount of indebtedness of Borrower; provided that (A) the floating rate index of each such contract generally matches the index used to determine the floating rates of interest on the corresponding indebtedness of Borrower to be hedged by such contract and the interest rate exposure would not cause the notional amount of all such Hedge Transactions then in effect for the purpose of hedging interest rate exposure to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the total consolidated funded indebtedness of Borrower projected to be outstanding for any period covered by such Hedge Transaction, and (B) Borrower shall not establish or maintain any margin accounts with respect to such contracts.

(f)        Speculation.  Borrower shall not invest for speculative purposes in any

Hedge Transactions or in any other options, futures, or derivatives.

(g)       Third Party Hedge Transactions.  If a Hedge Transaction is entered into with an outside counter-party, (i) notwithstanding Subsection (d) of Section 1 of this Loan Agreement, Lender shall not be required to provide any Letter of Credit with respect to any margin call on the Hedge Transactions, unless Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to do so; and (ii) Borrower shall collaterally assign and pledge in favor of Lender a first-priority continuing security interest in the applicable trading account and the Hedge Transactions, including the Hedge Transactions listed in Schedule 1 attached, as additional security for the Secured Obligations. In connection therewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such security agreements, control agreements, and financing statements as deemed appropriate by Lender to create and perfect the continuing security interest therein.

(b)       The term “Obligated Parties” means Borrower, Guarantors, or any other party liable, in whole or in part, for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, or otherwise, and any party executing any deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge agreement, assignment, or other contract of any kind executed as security in connection with or pertaining to the Secured Obligations, the Notes, or the Loans.  The term “Debtor Relief Laws” means any applicable liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally, as in effect from time to time.

11.           Remedies.  (a)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default and the expiration of any notice, cure, or grace period required by Subsection (b) below, the entire unpaid principal balances of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Secured Obligations then owing by Borrower to Lender, shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further presentation, demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or dishonor, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. Any and all rights and remedies of Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be exercised by Lender, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the expiration of any notice, cure, or grace period required by Subsection (b) below.  All remedies of Lender may be exercised singularly, concurrently, or consecutively, without waiver or election.

(b)       Upon any Event of Default described in Subsection 10 (a)(1) above regarding payment of sums owing to Lender, Borrower shall have five (5) days grace after the due date in the invoice provided by Lender in order to cure the default prior to acceleration of the Notes and exercise of any remedies.  Upon any other Event of Default described in Subsection 10 (a) above, Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice of the Event of Default and Borrower shall have ten (10) days after notice in order to cure the Event of Default prior to acceleration of the Notes and exercise of any remedies; except Borrower shall have no cure period for any voluntary filing by Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, for any voluntary transfer of any portion of the Properties, without obtaining Lender’s partial release, for any liquidation or termination of existence of Borrower, or for any Event of Default that is not capable of cure during that period, including, without limitation, breaches of any negative covenants, and provided that Lender is not obligated to provide written notice of any Event of Default which Borrower reports to Lender, but Borrower shall have the benefit of any applicable grace or cure period required herein.

(c)       All rights of Lender under the terms of this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, the rights of Lender under any and all other agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, but not limited to, the other Loan Documents), and not any other agreement.

12.           Waiver and Amendment.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power, or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.  No waiver of any provision in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.  No modification or amendment to this Loan Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

13.           Savings Clause.  Regardless of any provision contained in this Loan Agreement, the Notes, or any of the Loan Documents, it is the express intent of the parties that at no time shall Borrower or any of the Obligated Parties pay interest in excess of the Maximum Rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), and Lender will never be considered to have contracted for or to be entitled to charge, receive, collect, or apply as interest on any of the Notes or the other Secured Obligations, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious).  In the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the principal balances of the Notes or the Secured Obligations, and, if the principal balances of the Notes and the Secured Obligations are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower.  In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law:  (i) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof; and (iii) amortize, pro rate, or spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Notes so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the term.  The term “Maximum Rate” means the maximum interest rate which may be lawfully charged under applicable law.

(c)       If any provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance.

(g)       If there is a conflict between the terms of this Loan Agreement and the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Loan Agreement will control.

(h)       Lender shall have the right, with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no consent is needed), which will not be unreasonably withheld, (i) to assign the Loans or commitment and be released from liability thereunder, and (ii) to transfer or sell participations in the Loans or commitment with the transferability of voting rights limited to principal, rate, fees, and term.

(i)        This Loan Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one agreement, and Lender is authorized to attach the signature pages from the counterparts to copies for Lender and Borrower.  At Lender’s option, this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents may also be executed by Borrower and Guarantors in remote locations with signature pages faxed or scanned and e-mailed to Lender.  Borrower and Guarantors agree that the faxed or scanned signatures are binding upon Borrower and Guarantors, and Borrower and Guarantors further agree to deliver the original signatures for this Loan Agreement and all Loan Documents by overnight mail or expedited delivery.  It will be an Event of Default if they fail to promptly deliver all required original signatures to Lender and Lender does not receive all required original signatures within five (5) business days.
