| | The Applicable Margin shall be determined by Bank from the quarterly compliance certificate (each being a "Compliance Certificate") most recently required to be delivered to
Bank by Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.1(d) hereof. At the commencement of each fiscal quarter subsequent to 12/31/00, the Applicable Margin shall initially continue to be the one in effect for the immediately preceding quarter until receipt of the
currently due Compliance Certificate, but shall be adjusted to the beginning of such quarter following the timely receipt of the current Compliance Certificate based upon the results of the Performance Pricing Criteria shown by such Compliance Certificate
for such immediately preceding quarter. In the event a Compliance Certificate is not timely delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted to the beginning of such quarter to 1.0% until received.

matured, (iii) such Person is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they mature in the ordinary course of business, (iv) such Person does not intend to, and does not
believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities beyond such Person's ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature, and (v) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which

ARTICLE II

REVOLVING LOANS

Section 2.1. The Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to extend credit to Borrowers
during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date by (a) making Revolving Loans to Borrowers from time to time, and (b) issuing irrevocable standby and commercial letters of credit (said irrevocable standby and commercial letters of credit
being referred to herein as the "Letters of Credit") for the account of Borrowers or either one of them; provided, however, that (1) at no time shall the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans to Borrowers at such time outstanding, plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded amount of Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrowers at such time outstanding (said sum, at any time, being hereinafter referred to as the "Bank's Current Revolving Loan Commitment Exposure"), exceed the
Borrowing Base Amount then in effect, and (2) at no time shall the aggregate unfunded amount of Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrowers (or for the account of either of them) at such time outstanding exceed the amount of $500,000.00. In the
event, at any time, and from time to time, the Bank's Current Revolving Loan Commitment Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount then in effect, Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans by such an amount to cause the Bank's Current
Revolving Loan Commitment Exposure to equal the Borrowing Base Amount (or, at the option of Bank, Borrowers may post cash collateral or other collateral acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion to secure such deficiency in the Borrowing Base Amount).
Within the limits set forth herein, Borrowers may borrow from Bank hereunder, repay any and all such Revolving Loans as hereinafter provided and reborrow hereunder. Borrowers' obligation to repay the Revolving Loans made by Bank shall be evidenced by a
master promissory note made by Borrowers as co-makers (the "Revolving Note") payable to the order of Bank in the principal sum of $7,500,000.00, dated the date of this Agreement, with a final maturity of December 27, 2003, and bearing interest at the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. The Borrowers shall be solidarily liable for all Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit (and reimbursement obligations arising thereunder) and other obligations to Bank arising pursuant to this
Agreement or the Revolving Note.

---

Section 2.2. Manner and Notice of Borrowing Under the Revolving Loan Commitment. Requests for advances under the Revolving Loan Commitment, other than daily
fundings under controlled disbursement, shall be made by Borrowers in writing to Bank and include certificates required under Section 8.1(e) of this Agreement. Requests for advances must be received by not later than 12:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the date
of the proposed advance.

Section 2.3. Payment of the Revolving Note Under the Revolving Loan Commitment. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note shall be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing February 1, 2001, and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Revolving Note is paid in full. All principal shall be payable in a single installment due on the Termination Date;
subject to, however, the mandatory prepayment requirement set forth above in Section 2.1 hereof which requires Borrowers to prepay the Revolving Loans under the Revolving Note in the event, at any time and from time to time, the Bank's Current Revolving
Loan Commitment Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount then in effect (or which, at the option of Bank, requires that Borrowers post cash collateral or other collateral acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion, to secure such deficiency in its
Borrowing Base Amount). Borrowers hereby authorize Bank to debit their checking accounts maintained with Bank to pay interest due on the Revolving Note on each interest payment date and to credit all proceeds of their Receivables received in the Dominion
Account when collected (or earlier, if Bank in its sole discretion allows such funds to be available to Borrowers prior to the date on which any checks or other instruments given in payment of Receivables are actually collected) towards payment of the
Revolving Loans outstanding under the Revolving Note.

Section 2.4. Proceeds of Dominion Account.Borrowers have executed an agreement with Bank, pursuant to which all checks, drafts and other
instruments evidencing payment of Borrowers' Receivables shall be delivered to Bank and deposited into Borrowers' Dominion Account more fully described in Section 8.15 hereof. Borrowers authorize Bank to apply, from time to time, at Borrower's request,
the proceeds of their Receivables actually collected (or, at the sole discretion of Bank, amounts which have been received but not yet collected) by the Bank from the Dominion Account to reduce in whole or in part the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans due under the Revolving Note. Such payments will adjust for loan availability, bookkeeping and interest purposes on the second day after deposit.

Section 2.5. Overlines and Overadvances.In the event the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit under the
Revolving Loan Commitment ever exceeds the maximum Borrowing Base Amount), Borrowers agree to pay the excess amount (an "overline")immediately upon demand by Bank. In the event the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit under the Revolving Loan Commitment ever exceeds the current Borrowing Base Amount then in effect,
Borrowers agree to pay the excess amount (an "overadvance")immediately upon demand by Bank. Overlines and overadvances shall bear interest at the rate stated in the Note. If not sooner paid, interest on overlines and overadvances shall be paid on the first day of each month, until the
Termination Date. Upon request of Bank, Borrowers shall execute a promissory note, payable to the order of Bank, to represent the amount of any overline and any overadvance; however, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the records of Bank and this
Agreement shall constitute conclusive evidence of any overline or overadvance and the obligation of Borrowers to repay any overline or overadvance, with interest. All overlines and overadvances for which Bank has not demanded payment earlier, and all
unpaid and accrued interest on overlines and overadvances not due and payable earlier, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Bank is not obligated to Borrowers to make any Revolving Loan or issue Letters of Credit that would create an overline or an overadvance.

---

Section 2.6. Early Termination. Bank agrees that Borrowers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the Termination Date upon Borrowers (a)
giving Bank ninety (90) days' written notice of termination and designating a termination effective date, and (b) paying to Bank on the designated termination effective date, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding
and all accrued unpaid interest, together with all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if any, not yet paid.

Section 2.7. Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans for general corporate purposes (but not for the purchase of
any producing oil and gas properties).

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 3.1. The Letters of Credit. Upon the written application of Borrowers (or any one of them), using the form or forms of letter of credit applications
currently in use by Bank (the "Letter of Credit Application"), executed by Borrowers (or by any one of the persons designated by Borrowers in writing to Bank in accordance with the terms hereof), Bank agrees, upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and upon approval by Bank (in its sole discretion) of the terms of the requested Letter of Credit to be issued pursuant to the Letter of Credit Application, that it will issue an irrevocable standby letter of credit or commercial letter
of credit for the account of Borrowers or either one of them (a "Letter of Credit") substantially in accordance with the Letter of Credit Application. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall expire on a Business Day which is the earlier to occur of
(i) twelve months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Termination Date. In no event shall a Letter of Credit be issued by Bank if the sum of the face amount thereof when added to the aggregate unfunded amount of Letters of
Credit then outstanding plus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans at such time outstanding would exceed Borrowing Base Amount, and in no event shall a Letter of Credit be issued if the face amount thereof when added to the aggregate
unfunded amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding would exceed $500,000.00.

16



---

Section 3.2. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt by Bank of the Letter of
Credit Application related thereto. No later than 12:00 noon (New Orleans time) on the third Business Day following receipt of the Letter of Credit Application and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, Bank shall issue
its Letter of Credit. Bank may rely fully and completely upon the authority of the signatory of the Letter of Credit Application and the contents thereof unless such authority is terminated by written notice delivered to Bank, and any such termination of
authority shall be effective only prospectively.

Section 3.3. Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers agree to pay to Bank a fee equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) per annum of the face amount of each Letter of
Credit issued by Bank hereunder (the "Letter of Credit Commission") plus any other fees customarily charged by Bank for Letters of Credit such as issuance and courier fees. Payment of such Letter of Credit Commission with respect to each Letter of Credit
created by Bank shall be paid in advance on the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit and on each anniversary date of any such Letter of Credit.

Section 3.4. Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrowers agree unconditionally to pay Bank on demand in United States currency at Bank's principal office in New
Orleans, Louisiana, the amount required to pay (a) any and all drafts drawn and any and all demands made or purported to be made under any Letter of Credit, (b) any and all costs, charges, fees and/or expenses incurred or paid by Bank in connection with
any Letter of Credit, (c) interest on such amounts described above under (a) and (b) as hereinafter provided, and (d) a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the amount of each such draft drawn and demand made or purported to be made under
any Letter of Credit (the "Letter of Credit Obligations"). In the event of any drafts drawn and any and all demands made under any Letter of Credit are payable in foreign currency, Borrowers agree to make the aforementioned payment to Bank in United
States currency at Bank's selling rate for cable transfers to the place of payment of such draft on the date of such payment. Such obligation of Borrowers shall be deemed a Letter of Credit Obligation hereunder. Borrowers further agree to comply with any
and all governmental currency exchange regulations or requirements now or hereafter applicable to such Letter of Credit or to any drafts related thereto. Borrowers further authorize Bank, at its option, to compensate itself by applying any part or all of
the balance of any deposit account or certificate of deposit which Borrowers may maintain with Bank, at any time, whether or not the deposit is mature, and/or any and all monies or property or interest of any kind now or hereafter in Bank's hands, or in
transit to or from Bank, and belonging to Borrowers, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the amount of any draft and all interest, costs and reasonable attorney's fees which Borrowers may owe Bank pursuant to this Agreement. In the event a Letter of
Credit Obligation is not paid when demanded by Bank, Borrowers agree to pay to Bank on demand a sum equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligation, plus interest thereon from the date the Letter of Credit Obligation is demanded by Bank until paid
at the Base Rate plus 1.5%. A payment shall not be deemed made until funds therefor have been actually collected and made available to Bank. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Borrowers agree to pay to Bank on demand a sum equal to the
aggregate unfunded amounts of all Letters of Credit outstanding, together with interest thereon (such obligation of Borrower shall be deemed a Letter of Credit Obligation as such term is used herein). Upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, Bank may
exercise its right of offset and compensation set forth above in this paragraph. Any amount which Bank offsets or which Borrowers may pay to Bank in excess of drafts actually drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit shall be held by Bank in pledge to
secure the payment of future drafts until Bank's obligation to make Revolving Loans have been terminated, all Indebtedness has been paid in full, and no further Letters of Credit are outstanding.

---

Section 3.5. Revolving Loans. In the event that Letter of Credit Obligations owed Bank are not paid when due for any reason including Letter of Credit
Obligations arising upon occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, or upon request by Borrowers, such Letter of Credit Obligations shall be immediately paid by Borrowers pursuant to a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations.
Such Letter of Credit Obligations shall be immediately converted to a Revolving Loan by Bank and shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note. If at any time any Event of Default occurs and any portion of any Letter of Credit remains unfunded, Borrowers shall
pay to Bank in cash for application to future drawings under the outstanding Letters of Credit, an amount equal to the aggregate unfunded portion of the outstanding Letters of Credit. If Borrowers do not pay such amount on demand, such amount shall be
immediately paid by Borrowers by a Revolving Loan to Borrowers from Bank. Such amount shall be immediately converted to a Revolving Loan by Bank and shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note. The amount of such Revolving Loan shall be held by Bank in
pledge securing Borrowers' obligations under this Agreement, with Borrowers hereby granting Bank a continuing security interest in such funds as security for the Indebtedness until Bank's obligation to make Revolving Loans has terminated, all Indebtedness
has been paid in full, and no further Letters of Credit are outstanding.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 4.1. Payments to Bank. All payments of principal, interest, commitment fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Related
Documents shall be made to the Bank at the Bank's office at 313 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, or at such other location that the Bank may from time to time designate in writing to Borrowers, in each case in immediately available funds.

Section 4.2. No Offset, etc. All payments by Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Related Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless Borrowers are compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon Borrowers with respect to any amount payable by them hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents, Borrowers will pay to the Bank, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Related Document, such additional amount as shall be necessary to enable the Bank to receive the same net amount which
Bank would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Borrowers. Borrowers will deliver promptly to the Bank certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments
made by Borrowers hereunder or under such other Loan Documents.

Section 4.3. Computations. All computations of interest on the Revolving Loans and of commitment or other fees shall be assessed utilizing a 360-day daily
interest factor over the number of days in an actual calendar year (365 days or 366 days in a leap year). Bank shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement, and Bank's determination of same shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Related Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans as reflected on the Bank's books and records from time to time shall be prima facie evidence of the amounts so outstanding.

Section 4.4. Additional Costs, etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations
thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from
time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to the Bank by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

Indebtedness of any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or                                                                                                        
| | (3)     impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment,
liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of the Bank, or
| | (4)     impose on the Bank any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Loan Agreement, the other Related Documents, the Indebtedness, or any class of loans of which
the Indebtedness forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is

| | (iii)     to require the Bank to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is
calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by the Bank from Borrowers hereunder,

then, and in each such case, Borrowers will, upon demand made by the Bank at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to the Bank such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate
the Bank for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregoing receipt of interest or others sum payable hereunder.

Section 4.5. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof the Bank reasonably determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule,
regulations, policy guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or governmental authority with
appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on the Bank's Revolving Loans to a level below that which the Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Bank's then existing policies with respect to
capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the Bank may notify Borrowers of such fact. Borrowers agree to pay the Bank for the amount of such reduction in the return on
capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by the Bank of a certification in accordance with paragraph Section 4.6.

Section 4.6. Certificate; Optional Right of Prepayment. Bank shall provide Borrowers with a certificate setting forth any additional amounts which it declares to
be payable pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 hereof, and a complete explanation of such amounts which are due, and each such certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing. Borrowers shall have the right, at any
time within 90 days of receipt of any such certificate, to terminate this Agreement and prepay all the Revolving Loans (subject to any and all prepayment penalties, if any, under the terms of this Agreement) without being obligated to pay any such
additional costs set forth in such certificate, after which (provided no Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding) Bank shall promptly terminate, discharge and release of record (at Borrowers' expense) all of its Encumbrances affecting the Collateral
and return all Collateral to Borrowers.
