CALCULATION OF NET PROFITS INTEREST

2.1

For purposes of calculating the Net Profits Interest, with respect to each
calendar month, commencing with the month that ends on September 30, 2013,
Assignor shall furnish to Assignee a report, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Assignee, that sets forth the calculation of the Net Profits
Interest for the preceding month (and the first report shall also calculate any
Net Profits Interest for any days from the date hereof until September 1, 2013).
 Such monthly report and any payments to be made on account of the Net Profits
Interest with respect to a calendar month shall be delivered within thirty (30)
days after Assignor receives its share of revenues and a detailed statement with
respect to such revenues from the operator under the Operating Agreement.
 Further, all payments, if any, made to Assignee on account of the Net Profits
Interest shall be made entirely and exclusively out of the sums actually
received by Assignor pursuant to the Operating Agreement after deducting all of
Assignor’s costs and expenses as set forth herein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2

For purposes of this Assignment, the term “Net Profits” shall mean, for a
calendar month, (a) the proceeds (or the market value as determined by Assignor
of any proceeds not received in the form of cash or cash equivalents) actually
received during such calendar month by Assignor from the sale or other
disposition of Assignor's working interest share of all hydrocarbons produced
from or attributable to the Leases from and after the Effective Date and
pursuant to the Operating Agreement, after first deducting therefrom those costs
attributable to all royalties, overriding royalties, production payments, net
profits interests (other than the Net Profits Interest contemplated hereby), and
other burdens upon, measured by, or payable out of production from or
attributable to Assignor's interest in the Leases that exist as of the Effective
Date, less (b) all costs and expenses whatsoever that are actually incurred by
Assignor with respect to such proceeds arising out of Assignor's working
interest share of the Leases pursuant to the Operating Agreement, such costs and
expenses to include (i) any sums borrowed from Assignee by Assignor and paid to
App Energy pursuant to the Operating Agreement, together with Regular Interest
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) and Commitment Fees (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) associated therewith and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, all costs
of drilling, fracturing, and completing all wells located on the Leases, and all
lease operating expenses and leasehold costs incurred and paid by Assignor in
connection with the Leases pursuant to the Operating Agreement.

2.3

As between Assignor and Assignee, Assignor shall have exclusive charge and
control of the marketing of all hydrocarbons allocable to the Net Profits
Interest. Assignor shall market the production allocable to the Net Profits
Interest with and on the same terms as Assignor's share of production pursuant
to the Operating Agreement, and shall collect and receive the proceeds from the
sale of all such production.

GENERAL COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS

3.1

Assignee acknowledges and agrees that the Net Profits Interest granted hereby is
subject to the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement.  In the event of
a conflict between the Operating Agreement and this Assignment, the Operating
Agreement shall control.  BY ENTERING INTO THIS ASSIGNMENT, ASSIGNEE
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS OF THE
OPERATING AGREEMENT.

3.2

Assignor agrees to maintain at all times true and correct books and records
sufficient to determine the amounts payable, if any, to Assignee hereunder and
such books and records shall be open to Assignee for inspection and audit upon
reasonable notice during normal business hours.

3.3

If any of the Leases covers an interest in the lands covered thereby that is
less than the entire mineral estate therein (regardless of whether the relevant
Lease purports to cover only the lessor's interest therein), then, as to such
Lease, the Net Profits Interest, insofar only as it affects and applies to
hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to such portion of the lands covered
by such Lease, shall be payable to Assignee in the proportion that the mineral
interest in such lands actually covered by the relevant Lease bears to the
entire, undivided mineral estate in such lands.  Similarly, if Assignor owns
less than the full leasehold estate in and to any of the Leases, then, as to
such Lease, the Net Profits Interest, insofar only as it affects and applies to
hydrocarbons produced from or attributable to such Lease, shall be payable to
Assignee in the proportion that the aggregate leasehold interest in the relevant
Lease actually owned by Assignor bears to the entire leasehold interest in and
to such Lease.

covenants running with the land, and this Assignment and the covenants herein
contained shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of Assignor and the successors and assigns of Assignee.
