subject to the provisions and requirements thereof; (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of any or all
of the Collateral or cause the Collateral to be sold or otherwise disposed of in one or more sales
or transactions, at such prices and in such manner as may be
11
commercially reasonable, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption
of any credit risk, at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention
to sell or of time or place of sale (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived), it being agreed that the Secured Party may be a purchaser on behalf of the
Beneficiaries or on its own behalf at any such sale and that the Secured Party, any other
Beneficiary, or any other Person who may be a bona fide purchaser for value and without notice of
any claims of any or all of the Collateral so sold shall thereafter hold the same absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption of any Grantor, any
such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent
permitted by law; (iv) incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable
consultants’ fees, and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any right or power under this
Security Agreement; (v) perform any obligation of any Grantor hereunder and make payments,
purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien, and pay taxes and expenses,
without, however, any obligation to do so; (vi) in connection with any acceleration and
foreclosure, take possession of the Collateral and render it usable and repair and renovate the
same, without, however, any obligation to do so, and enter upon any location where the Collateral
may be located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, collect
all rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Beneficiaries for any
cost or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents and to the payment or
performance of any Grantor’s obligations hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, and apply
the balance to the other Secured Obligations and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is
legally entitled thereto; (vii) secure the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral or any part
thereof; (viii) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense
and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed
by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the
Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ix) exercise any other or additional
rights or remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC; or (x) occupy any premises owned or
leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable period
in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any
Grantor in respect of such occupation. If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of sale of the
Collateral under this Section is required to be given to any Grantor, each Grantor hereby
acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum time is
specified, 10 days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. The Secured Party shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred by the Secured Party in connection with any suit or proceeding in connection with the
performance by the Secured Party of any of the agreements contained in any of the Contract
Documents, or in connection with any exercise of its rights or remedies hereunder, pursuant to the
terms of this Security Agreement, shall constitute additional indebtedness secured by this Security
Agreement and shall be paid on demand by the Grantors to the Secured Party on behalf of the
Beneficiaries.
12
Section 9. Remedies Cumulative; Delay Not Waiver.
(a) No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Secured Party is
intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy and every such right, power and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all
security now or hereafter held by the Secured Party may be taken concurrently or successively and
in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial
proceedings, or both.
(b) No delay or omission of the Secured Party to exercise any right or power accruing upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default as aforesaid shall impair any such
right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein; and every power and remedy given by this Security Agreement may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Secured Party.
Section 10. Contract Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Secured Party may exercise any of the Contract Rights and remedies of any
Grantor under or in connection with the Instruments, Chattel Paper, or Contracts which represent
Accounts, the General Intangibles, or which otherwise relate to the Collateral, including, without
limitation, any rights of any Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under,
or performance of any provisions of, the Instruments, Chattel Paper, or Contracts which represent
Accounts, or the General Intangibles.
Section 11. Accounts.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Secured Party
may, or may direct any Grantor to, take any action reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Accounts, including, without limitation, notifying the account debtors or
obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Secured Party and directing
such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due directly to
the Secured Party. Upon such notification and direction, and at the expense of the Grantors, the
Secured Party may enforce collection of any such Accounts, and adjust, settle, or compromise the
amount or payment thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and upon receipt by
any Grantor of written notice from the Secured Party that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of
the Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party hereunder, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall promptly be paid over to the Secured Party
in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be held as Collateral.
Following receipt of such notice and prior to the waiver or cure of the applicable Event of
Default, no Grantor shall adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any
13
Account, nor release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, nor allow any
credit or discount thereon.
Section 12. Application of Collateral. The proceeds of any sale, or other realization
(other than that received from a sale or other realization permitted by the Credit Agreement) upon
all or any part of the Collateral pledged by any Grantor shall be applied by the Secured Party as
set forth in Section 7.06 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 13. Secured Party as Attorney-in-Fact for Grantor. Each Grantor hereby
constitutes and irrevocably appoints the Secured Party, acting for and on behalf of itself and the
Beneficiaries and each successor or assign of the Secured Party and the Beneficiaries, the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact of such Grantor, with full power and authority in the place and stead of
such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Secured Party or otherwise to take any action and
execute any instrument at the written direction of the Beneficiaries and enforce all rights,
interests and remedies of such Grantor with respect to the Collateral, including the right:
(a) to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims
for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of the any of the other Collateral, including
without limitation, any Insurance Contracts;
(b) to elect remedies thereunder and to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in
connection therewith;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection therewith
which the Secured Party may deem to be reasonably necessary or advisable;
(d) to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or become liens or security
interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, unless a bond or other
security satisfactory to the Secured Party has been provided; and
(e) upon foreclosure, to do any and every act which any Grantor may do on its behalf with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of such Grantor’s rights
and remedies under any or all of the Collateral;
provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not exercise any such rights except
upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Section 14. Secured Party May Perform. The Secured Party may from time-to-time
perform any act which any Grantor has agreed hereunder to perform and which such Grantor shall fail
to promptly perform after being requested in writing to so perform (it being understood that no
such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
and after notice thereof by the Secured Party to any Grantor) and the Secured Party may from
time-to-time take any other action which the Secured Party deems reasonably necessary for the
maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest
therein, and the reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be
part of the Secured Obligations and shall be secured hereby.
14
Section 15. Secured Party Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it
to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty
as to any Collateral or responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
Section 16. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its
own Property.
Section 17. Payments Held in Trust. After the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, all payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any
Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, and shall be segregated
from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Secured Party in the same
form as received (with any necessary endorsement).
Section 18. Miscellaneous.
(a) Expenses. Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Secured Party for its benefit
and the benefit of the Beneficiaries the amount of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts, which the Secured Party
and the Beneficiaries may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use, or operation
of, or the sale, collection, or other realization of, any of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party or any Beneficiary hereunder, and (iii) the
failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(b) Amendments; Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Security
Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and authenticated by the affected Grantor, the Secured Party and either, as
required by the Credit Agreement, the Majority Banks or all of the Banks, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.
(c) Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be made in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Credit Agreement or on
the signature page hereto.
(d) Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Interest. This Security Agreement shall
create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and, unless expressly released by the
Secured Party, shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the Secured Obligations (including all Letter of Credit Obligations), the termination or
expiration of all Letters of Credit and the termination of all obligations of the Issuing Banks and
the Banks in respect of Letters of Credit, the termination of all Interest Rate Contracts and the
termination of all obligations of the Banks in respect of Interest Rate Contracts, and the
termination or expiration of the Commitments, (b) be binding upon each Grantor and its
15
successors, tranferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of and be binding upon, the Secured Party, the Issuing
Banks, and the Banks and their respective successors, transferees, and assigns, and to the benefit
of and be binding upon, the Swap Counterparties, and each of their respective successors,
transferees, and assigns to the extent such successors, transferees, and assigns of a Swap
Counterparty is a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause, when any Bank assigns or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit
Agreement or other Credit Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement or such other Credit Document, that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
the benefits held by such Bank under this Security Agreement.
(e) Severability. Wherever possible each provision of this Security Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security
Agreement.
(f)
Choice of Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Texas, except to the extent that the validity
or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any
particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of
Texas.
(g) Counterparts. The parties may execute this Security Agreement in any number of
duplicate originals, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which, collectively,
constitute only one agreement. The parties may execute this Security Agreement in counterparts,
each of which constitutes an original, and all of which, collectively, constitute only one
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page by facsimile is as effective as
executing and delivering this Security Agreement in the presence of the other parties to this
Security Agreement. In proving this Security Agreement, a party must produce or account only for
the executed counterpart of the party to be charged.
(h) Headings. Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Security Agreement as a
matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph headings are not a
part of this Security Agreement and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of
this Security Agreement.
(i) Conflicts. In the event of any explicit or implicit conflict between any
provision of this Security Agreement and any provision of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the
Credit Agreement shall be controlling.
(j) Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, each
Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) that was not in existence on the
date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Security Agreement as a Grantor upon
becoming a Subsidiary of the Borrower. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the
Secured Party and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary
shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a
16
party to this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.
(k) Amendment and Restatement; Confirmation of Liens. This Security Agreement is an
amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement and supersedes the Existing Security
Agreement in its entirety; provided, however, that (i) the execution and delivery of this
Security Agreement shall not effect a novation of the Existing Security Agreement but shall be, to
the fullest extent applicable, in modification, renewal, confirmation and extension of the Existing
Security Agreement, and (ii) the Liens, security interests and other interests in the collateral as
described in the Existing Security Agreement (the “Original Collateral”) granted under the
Existing Security Agreement are and shall remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable with regard
to such Original Collateral. Each Grantor party to the Existing Security Agreement hereby
acknowledges and confirms the continuing existence and effectiveness of such Liens, security
interests and other interests in the Original Collateral granted under the Existing Security
Agreement, and further agrees that the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall not in any way release, diminish, impair, reduce or otherwise affect
such Liens, security interests and other interests in the Original Collateral granted under the
Existing Security Agreement.
(l) Entire Agreement. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS
DEFINED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

Schedule 1 to Amended and Restated Security Agreement
Page 5
Annex 1 to the
Amended and Restated
Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. [ ]
dated as of [ ] (the “Supplement”), to
the Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated as of August 27, 2007 (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among XXXXX ENERGY
PARTNERS — OPERATING, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), each subsidiary of
Borrower signatory thereto (together with the Borrower, the “Grantors” and individually, a
“Grantor”) and UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A., a national association, as Administrative
Agent (“Secured Party”) for the ratable benefit of itself, the Banks (as defined below),
the Issuing Banks (as defined below), and the Swap Counterparties (as defined in the Security
Agreement) (together with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks, individually
a “Beneficiary”, and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”).
A. Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August
27, 2007 by and among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (individually, a
“Bank” and collectively, the “Banks”), the Banks issuing letters of credit
thereunder from time to time (individually, an “Issuing Bank” and collectively, the
“Issuing Banks”), and Secured Party (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement and/or the Credit Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Banks to make
Advances and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit
Agreement, each Subsidiary (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Borrower that was not in
existence on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into the Security Agreement as a
Grantor upon becoming a Subsidiary. Section 18(j) of the Security Agreement provides that
additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary
of the Borrower (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to
induce the Banks to make additional Advances and the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of
Credit and as consideration for Advances previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the Secured Party and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 18(j) of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its
signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby agrees (a) to all the terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true
and correct on and as of the date hereof in all material respects. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in
Annex 1 to Amended and Restated Security Agreement
Page 1
full of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), does hereby create and
grant to the Secured Party, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, their
successors and assigns, a continuing security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s
right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the
New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include
the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Secured Party and the other
Beneficiaries that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of
general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law)).
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when the Secured Party shall have received counterparts of this Supplement
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Secured Party. Delivery
of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that set forth on Schedule 1
attached hereto are (a) its sole jurisdiction of formation and type of organization, (b) its
federal tax identification number and the organizational number, and (c) all names used by it
during the last five years prior to the date of this Supplement.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE
SECURITY INTERESTS HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR PLEDGED
COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF
TEXAS.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, neither party hereto shall be required to
comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties
hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be
given to it at the address set forth under its signature hereto.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Secured Party.
THIS SUPPLEMENT, THE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS DEFINED IN THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT REFERRED TO IN THIS SUPPLEMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF
THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.
