On behalf of the Partnership and MD, a Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (Registration No._________) dated ___________, as amended, relating to the
offer and sale of the Interests (hereinafter defined) was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, (the "Act"). On _________, 2004, MD filed with the Commission on behalf
of the Partnerships Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. The
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on ________,
2004. MD, the Partnerships and the Interests are described in the Prospectus
dated ________, 2004 (the "Prospectus") that forms a part of the Registration
Statement. As used in this Soliciting Dealer Agreement (this "Agreement"), the
terms "Prospectus" and "Registration Statement" refer solely to the Prospectus
and Registration Statement, as amended, described above, except that (i) from
and after the date on which any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the term "Registration
Statement" shall refer to the Registration Statement as amended by that
post-effective amendment, and the term "Prospectus" shall refer to the
Prospectus then forming a part of the Registration Statement, and (ii) if the
Prospectus filed by MD pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) promulgated by the
Commission under the Act differs from the Prospectus on file with the Commission
at the time the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
shall have become effective, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to the Prospectus
filed pursuant thereto from and after the date on which it was filed. Terms
defined in the Prospectus and not otherwise defined herein will have the
meanings set forth in the Prospectus.
MD desires to raise a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of
$25,000,000 in capital for each Partnership by the sale of up to an aggregate of
$50,000,000 of limited partner interests (the "Limited Partner Interests") and
general partner interests (the "General Partner Interests") in the Partnerships
(the Limited Partner Interests and the General Partner Interests are
collectively referred to as the "Interests"). The Interests will be offered in
$1,000 increments, with a minimum purchase of twenty Interests ($20,000).
Xxxxxxxxx Securities, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Dealer Manager")
has entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Managing Partner under
which the Dealer Manager is appointed the exclusive agent of the Managing
Partner and of the Partnerships to form a group of National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. member firms who will solicit subscribers for the
purchase of Interests.
The following are the terms on which the Managing Partner, on behalf of
the Partnership, and the Dealer Manager appoint you and you agree to such
appointment to solicit subscribers for the purchase of Interests:
Section 1. Appointment as Soliciting Dealer. On the basis of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, but
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, you are hereby appointed
to serve as a soliciting dealer ("Soliciting Dealer") during the Offering Period
(as defined below) for Interests in both Partnerships for the purpose of finding
subscribers for the Interests through a public offering, at the price of $1,000
per Interest, with a minimum subscription of twenty Interests ($20,000), as
described in the
Xxxxxxxxx Development 04-05 Drilling Program
Soliciting Dealer Agreement
_____________, 2004

Prospectus. The "Offering Period" (as such term is used in this Agreement) for
Interests in Xxxxxxxxx Energy Partners 04-A, L.P. will commence on or about the
date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective and will end no
later than December 31, 2004 unless the Managing Partner accelerates or delays
such termination date. The Offering Period for Interests in Xxxxxxxxx Energy
Partners 05-A, L.P. will commence on ________, 2005 and will end no later than

conditions set forth in this Agreement to use your reasonable efforts to solicit
subscriptions for the Interests during each Offering Period and until the
earlier of (i) the termination of the Offering Period or (ii) the Closing (as
hereinafter defined) with respect to that Partnership. Neither your acceptance
of that appointment nor this Agreement shall constitute you and MD or a
Partnership as an association, partnership, unincorporated business or other
separate entity. If an offering for Interests in a Partnership is commenced and
subscriptions funds of $1,000,000 or more are not received by the termination of
that Partnership's Offering Period with respect to Interests in that
Partnership, all subscription funds received by the termination of such Offering
Period with respect to Interests in that Partnership shall be returned in full
to the subscribers, together with any interest earned thereon, if any (as
provided in the Prospectus), and this Agreement as to that Partnership will
terminate without obligation on your part or on the part of MD, except that (a)
you will promptly, upon notice, transmit to MD any sales commissions and due
diligence fees received by you pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and (b) the
indemnification and contribution provisions of Section 9 hereof shall continue
after such termination of this Agreement. In the event that you violate the
terms, conditions, agreements or warranties herein, the Managing Partner or the
Dealer Manager, in their sole and absolute discretion, may terminate this
Agreement.

partnership or otherwise qualified as a limited partnership in each jurisdiction
in which the nature of the activities conducted by it or the nature of the

Partnership or the rights or liabilities of its General or Limited Partners). In

partnership authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the related
Program Agreement and to own its properties and to conduct its business as

federal income tax purposes, and at all times subsequent hereto, MD will use its
best efforts to maintain the status of the Partnership as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes.
(i) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there is no litigation
or governmental proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge of MD, threatened

Partnership, MD or the offering.

or under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of MD or under any other
agreement, indenture or instrument by which a Partnership or MD is bound or, to
the best knowledge of MD, any law, rule, regulation, order or decree of any
court or any governmental body or administrative agency applicable to MD or a
Partnership.
(k) The financial information (including without limitation the
balance sheets and any accompanying notes and schedules) presented in the

has been, and through the Closing Date shall be, no material adverse change in
its financial condition since the date of that information.
(l) There has been no material adverse change in the condition,

(3) the term "normal commission" means an amount

(1) the prospective purchaser is or will be in a financial position to realize
the benefits described in the Prospectus of an investment in the Interests; (2)

of the purchase price for Interests received by you shall be subject to, and MD
and you hereby agree that you each shall act in accordance with, the following
provisions:

check, you shall, by noon of the business day following your receipt

may be made to investors (being those states with respect to which you
and other Soliciting Dealers requested that MD use its reasonable
efforts to register or qualify the Interests for offering and sale
under the securities or blue sky laws of such states pursuant to
Section 5(e) hereof).
(iii) All proceedings and documents in connection with the

the Prospectus and related Subscription Agreements and Sales Literature as you
may reasonably request.
(b) If any event that occurs before the last Closing Date and that

the Partnership makes it necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement in order that the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to
a subscriber, MD will (i) notify you of the occurrence of such event, (ii)
prepare, file, transmit and use its best efforts to cause to become effective
(to the extent appropriate) any such required amendments or supplements to the

(iii) advise you, promptly after MD receives notice thereof, of the time when
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective
or of the time when any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus has been filed
and (iv) promptly prepare and furnish to you a reasonable number of copies of
the amendments of, or supplements to, the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement.

writing of the issuance by the Commission or by any state securities
administrator of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
or qualification of the Interests for sale or enjoining the sale of the

every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if
any such stop order shall at any time be issued, to obtain the lifting thereof

(d) As soon as practicable after the receipt of any Subscription
Agreements, MD will approve or reject such subscriptions and notify you of the
same.

offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such additional
jurisdictions as you may request, will furnish all such information and
documents as may be reasonably necessary for such purpose and will notify you in
writing as to the effective date of such registrations or qualifications as soon
as practicable after the receipt or confirmation thereof; provided that you
shall have specified and made such request in writing to MD and the Dealer
Manager with respect to each additional jurisdiction in which you intend to
offer any of the Interests for sale, or solicit any offers to subscribe for or
buy any of the Interests, or otherwise negotiate with any person in respect of
any of the Interests, and MD and the Dealer Manager shall have no duty,
responsibility, liability or obligation to you under this subsection (e) or any
other provision hereof with respect to any other jurisdiction. MD will undertake
to file all reports required to be filed subsequent to completion of the
offering of the Interests and otherwise to continue to comply with the
securities or blue sky laws of each such jurisdiction.
Section 6. Payment of Expenses and Fees.
(a) Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement,
you, the Dealer Manager, MD and the Partnership will pay their own expenses
incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including fees of
their counsel.
(b) Prior to the time that $1,000,000 or more of subscription
funds for the Partnership are received and accepted, MD may, but is not
obligated to, advance from MD's own funds the sales commissions and due
diligence fees which would otherwise be payable in connection with subscription
funds received and accepted prior to such time; provided that such advance may
only be paid with respect to subscriptions that have been accepted by MD. Any
such advancement shall be made initially to the Dealer Manager and the Dealer
Manager shall immediately reallow to you such portion of the advancement as
represents sales commissions and due diligence fees which would otherwise be
payable to you. In the event that either (i) subscription funds of $1,000,000 or
more are not received by the termination of the Offering Period with respect to
Interests in a Partnership or (ii) MD otherwise elects not to close the offering
of the Interests in the Partnership, you will promptly upon notice transmit to
MD funds in the amount of the sales commissions and due diligence fees advanced
to you by means of such reallowance.
(c) Upon the receipt and acceptance of $1,000,000 in subscriptions
for a Partnership, MD may, but is not obligated to, advance from its own funds
prior to the Closing of the offering of Interests in that Partnership sales
commissions and due diligence fees relating to subscriptions solicited by you;
provided that such advance may only be paid with respect to subscriptions that
have been accepted by MD and for which the subscription funds have cleared at
the office of the Escrow Agent. Any such advancement shall be made initially to
the Dealer Manager and the Dealer Manager shall immediately reallow to you such
advancement.
(d) In the event that MD makes an advance of sales commissions and
due diligence fees pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c) above, you hereby agree that
(i) prior to the Closing, MD retains the right in its sole discretion to

refund to any subscriber solicited by you the full amount of the subscription
funds transmitted by that subscriber and (ii) in the event that MD refunds
subscription funds to a subscriber solicited by you, you will promptly upon
receipt of notice of that refund transmit to MD funds in the amount of the sales
commissions and due diligence fees advanced to you by means of such reallowance
to the extent that such relate to your acceptance of an order for Interests from
such subscriber.
(e) If the Closing for the sale of Interests in a Partnership
occurs, as compensation for your services under this Agreement MD will pay from
its own funds at that Closing, to the Dealer Manager and the Dealer Manager
shall immediately reallow to you (i) cash sales commissions based on eight
percent (8%) of the sales price of Interests sold by you and (ii) you may also
be reimbursed up to one-half percent (-1/2%) of the sales price for Interests
sold by you for actual expenses incurred in affirmatively discharging your due
diligence responsibilities pursuant to Rule 2810 of the NASD Conduct Rules and
its subsections, less any sales commissions and due diligence fees previously
reallowed to you prior to that Closing under Section 6(b) or (c) above, except
that you will receive no such sales commissions or due diligence fees for
Interests sold to (i) officers, directors or employees of MD or affiliates
thereof, (ii) affiliates of the Managing Partner or (iii) any of your officers,
directors, employees or registered representatives. No sales commissions or due
diligence fees will be paid on subscriptions returned for any reason to
subscribers prior to that Closing.

obligations under this Agreement with respect to a particular Partnership are

that Partnership, of any stop order issued under the Act suspending the use of
the Prospectus or the sale of the Interests or of the initiation or the
threatened initiation of any proceedings therefor.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have
been fulfilled, or cannot be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date with
respect to such Partnership, this Agreement with respect to that Partnership and
all of your obligations under it relating thereto, other than those contained in
Section 9 hereof, may be terminated by you by notifying MD of such termination
in writing or by telegram at or prior to the Closing, and any such termination
shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise

(c) if the Partnership elects in its discretion to offer
rescission to any subscriber because (i) any of the conditions described in this
Agreement shall not have been fulfilled or (ii) other circumstances arise
subsequent to the date hereof that in the judgment of MD require that such an
offer be made, in either case because of any action or inaction taken or failed
to be taken by you in connection with your offering or sale of the Interests,

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 8 shall not have
been fulfilled, or cannot be fulfilled on or prior to the Closing Date with
respect to the Partnership, this Agreement with respect to that Partnership and
all obligations of the Partnership and MD relating thereto, other than those
contained in Section 9 hereof, may be terminated by MD by notifying you of that
termination in writing or by telegram at or prior to the Closing and any such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof.
Section 9. Indemnification.
(a) MD will indemnify and hold you harmless against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which you may become
subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i)
any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or any Sales Literature or any omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not
misleading (other than any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to MD or a Partnership by or on
behalf of you, your officers, directors or controlling persons or at your or
their request specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or any Sales Literature or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto); provided that the foregoing indemnity is subject to the
condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement or omission made
in the Prospectus but eliminated or remedied in an amendment thereof or
supplement thereto available to you prior to delivery of written confirmation of
sale, such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any person from whom the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
Interests that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person who
controls any such person), if a copy of the amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus was not sent or given to that person with or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of those Interests to that person or (ii) a breach by
MD or a Partnership of any of its respective representations, warranties,
agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement; and MD will reimburse you
for all legal or other expenses (including reasonable expenses of internal and
outside counsel) reasonably incurred by you in connection with defending any
such action or claim. The agreement of indemnity in this Section 9(a) and in
Section 9(b) below shall be in addition to any liability that MD or a
Partnership may otherwise have and shall extend upon the same terms and
conditions to each person, if any, who controls you and shall apply whether or
not any negligent act or omission by you is alleged or proven; provided,
however, that neither MD nor a Partnership shall be responsible under this
Agreement for any losses, damages or liabilities to the extent they are found in
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely
from your gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing services
hereunder.
(b) A Partnership shall indemnify you for any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities relating to the Partnership and to which you may become
subject due to an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws and
which arise out of or are based upon the items set forth in Sections 9(a)(i) and
(ii) above (and are subject to the same conditions and limitations set forth in
9(a)(i) and (ii) above) if (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the
merits of each count involving alleged securities laws violations as to you,
(ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of
competent jurisdiction as to you or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims against you. In connection with any claim
for indemnification for federal or state securities law violations under this
Section 9(b), you shall place before such court the positions of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Securities Commission of the State of Texas and any
other applicable regulatory authority with respect to such indemnification for
securities law violations.
(c) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager,
MD and the Partnership against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which any of them may become subject, under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material
fact made by you with respect to your offering of the Interests, (ii) any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any Sales Literature or any omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to MD or a
Xxxxxxxxx Development 04-05 Drilling Program
Soliciting Dealer Agreement
_____________, 2004
Page 14
Partnership by or on behalf of you, your officers, directors or controlling
persons or at your or their request for use in the preparation of the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Sales Literature or an amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or (iii) a breach by you of any of your
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement; and you will reimburse the Dealer Manager, MD and the Partnership for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. The agreement of
indemnity contained in this subsection (c) shall be in addition to any liability
which you may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and
conditions, to each partner of a Partnership and to each officer, director and
other person, if any, who controls either the Dealer Manager or MD.
(d) Within seven days after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action,
that indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party under that subsection, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under that subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and the indemnified party
shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and to the extent that
it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and retention
of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under such part for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation unless (i) the employment by the indemnified
party of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing in advance by an
indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the
indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the
defense of such action, (iii) such indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be one or more defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to one or more of the
indemnifying parties, or (iv) such indemnified party shall have concluded that
there is any material conflict of interest such that representation of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party would not be in the best interests
of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 9, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of a
claim or action without its written consent.
(e) To provide for just and equitable contribution in any action
in which a claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Section 9, but
when it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by
a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last appeal) that indemnification may not be enforced in that case
notwithstanding that this Section 9 provides for indemnification in that case,
all the parties hereto shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that you are responsible for the portion represented by the
percentage that the sales commissions and due diligence fees received by you
bears to the gross proceeds of the offering of the Interests, and so that the
related Partnership (to the extent permitted by subsection (b) of this Section
9) the Dealer Manager and MD are responsible for the remaining portion;
provided, however, that no person found guilty (by the entry of a final judgment
or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction) of a fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who is not similarly found guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. This subsection (e) shall not be operative as
to you to the extent that the Partnership, the Dealer Manager or MD or any
person who controls the Partnership, the Dealer Manager or MD within the meaning
of the Act is entitled to receive or has received indemnification under this
Section 9.
Section 10. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or contained in certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement will
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of you, the Dealer Manager or MD, and will survive the
Closing.
