| (1)   | “Proved      reserves” generally means the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural      gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data      demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years      from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions,      i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is      made.  Prices include consideration of changes in existing      prices provided by contractual arrangements, but not escalations based on      future conditions.  Reservoirs are considered proved if economic      production is supported by either actual production or conclusive      formation test.  The area of a reservoir considered proved      includes: that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil      and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and the immediately adjoining portions      not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically      productive on the basis of available geological and engineering      data. |

| (2)   | “Proved      developed oil and gas reserves” generally means reserves that can be      expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment      and operating methods. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (3)   | “The      present value of estimated future net cash flows is calculated by      discounting estimated future net cash flows by 10%    annually. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (4)   | Please      see Regulation S-X rule 4-10 for complete definitions of each reserve      category. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (5)   | This      value per $10,000 unit is determined by following the methodology used for      determining our proved reserves using the data discussed      above.  However, this value does not necessarily reflect the      fair market value of a unit, and each unit is illiquid.  Also,      the value of a unit for purposes of presentment of the unit to our MGP for      purchase is different, because it is calculated under a formula set forth      in the partnership agreement. |

| (1)   | A      “gross” acre is an acre in which we own a working  interest. |

| (2)   | A      “net” acre equals the actual working interest we own in one gross acre      divided by one hundred.  For example, a 50% working interest in      an acre is one gross acre, but a .50 netacre. |
