Re: XXXX 0000-0000 DRILLING PROGRAM

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement, dated , 2007 (the "Dealer Manager Agreement") with Reef Oil & Gas Partners, L.P., a Nevada limited partnership ("Reef "), the proposed Managing General Partner of Reef 2007-2009 Drilling Program, a series of up to seven limited partnerships to be formed under the laws of Nevada (each such limited partnership individually a "Partnership" and collectively, the "Program"), under which we have agreed to use our best efforts to place with qualified investors pre-formation partnership interests in each Partnership ("Units"). Reef and the Program are offering up to $200,000,000 of Units consisting of 8,000 Units at a price of $25,000 per Unit (the "Offering") with fractional Units available as described in the Program's Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time (the "Prospectus"), a copy of which has been furnished to you.

In connection with the performance of our obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, we are authorized to engage you as a soliciting dealer for the offer and sale of Units, and to pay you all or a portion of our commissions and fees for Units sold by you, all as is more fully set forth herein. In further consideration of your participation in the offering and sale of the Units, and as an inducement to you to become a soliciting dealer, Reef, by its execution of this Soliciting Dealer Agreement, agrees to extend to you certain of the benefits provided to us in the Dealer Manager Agreement, and to indemnify you against certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Unless the context otherwise requires, all of the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Dealer Manager Agreement or in the Prospectus. You are hereby invited to become a soliciting dealer and, as such, to use your best efforts to procure purchasers of Units in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

1.: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF REEF.

Reef and we hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to you and agree that:

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of Reef and/or us set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement are, and will at all times during the term of the Offering be, true and correct and during the term of the Offering, Reef and we will comply with each covenant and agreement made by us in the Dealer Manager Agreement and this Soliciting Dealer Agreement.

(b) The Partnership. Upon its formation, the Partnership will be duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada with full power and authority to conduct the business in which it will be engaged as described in the Prospectus.

(c) The Units. The Units, when issued, will be duly and validly issued and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus; such Units are not subject to the preemptive rights of any Unit holder of the Partnership; and all action required to be taken for the authorization, issue and sale of such Units has been validly and sufficiently taken.

(d) Investment Company Act. The Partnership does not intend to conduct its business so as to be an "investment company" as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,

and the rules and regulation thereunder, and it will exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not become an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(e) Authorization of Agreement. Each of the Dealer Manager Agreement and this Soliciting Dealer Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than you), and constitutes the valid agreement of each of such parties (other than you) enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy and similar laws and principals of equity. The execution and delivery of each of the Dealer Manager Agreement and this Soliciting Dealer Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated and the compliance with the terms hereof and thereof by Reef and us do not and will not conflict with or constitute a default under the organizational documents of such entities, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other agreement or instrument to which Reef or we are a party as of this date, or any law, order, rule or regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Reef and us, or any of our respective property; and no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or other governmental agency or body has been or is required for the performance of the Dealer Manager Agreement or this Soliciting Dealer Agreement by any of Reef or us, or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

If at any time any event occurs as a result of which such supplemental sales materials when used in conjunction with the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, Reef will promptly notify you thereof. You agree to terminate any use of such supplemental sales materials after being informed as provided in the previous sentence.

(h) Compliance with the Act. The Registration Statement has been prepared and filed by Reef in conformity with the Act and the applicable instructions and regulations thereto ("Regulations").
