         3/14/2000 Conveyance has previously been supplemented and amended by
         various supplements and, as so supplemented and amended, is herein
         called the "Original Conveyance". The 3/14/2000 Conveyance and such
         supplements have been recorded as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (the
         "Recording Schedule"); all capitalized terms used but not defined
         herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Original
         Conveyance.

B.       Effective as of December 1, 2000, Fund V assigned all of its right,
         title, and interest under the Original Conveyance to SPS pursuant to a

         2001.

         Production Payment and Seventh Supplement to Production Payment
         Conveyance dated as of September 10, 2001.

D.       On March 4, 2002, SPS assigned all of its right, title, and interest
         under the Original Conveyance to Mirant pursuant to that certain
         Assignment dated as of March 4, 2002 (the "Mirant Assignment"). The
         Production Payment is now owned by Fund VI, Mirant, and GPF in
         undivided interests. The Mirant Assignment covered, and was subject to
         the terms of, all of the instruments listed on the Recording Schedule
         (collectively, the "Recording Schedule Instruments"), and Mirant hereby
         ratifies and confirms each of the Recording Schedule Instruments

         Payment Conveyance effective March 7, 2002 and the Partial Conveyance
         of Production Payment effective March 7, 2002 from SPS to GPF).

E.       Grantee and Grantor desire to supplement and amend the Original
         Conveyance, as set forth herein, to account for (a) an increase in the
         unliquidated balance of the Primary Sum in consideration of the payment

         Grantee of Additional Subject Interests (defined below) to be subject
         to the Production Payment, and (c) the reconveyance by Grantee to
         Grantor of a portion of the Production Payment by means of certain
         amendments to the Dedication Percentage.

         own the Production Payment, at and after the Effective Time, in
         undivided interests in proportion to their respective amended

         (b) Fund VI and Mirant do further assign unto GPF such undivided
         interests in Fund VI's and GPF's accounts receivable from the sale of
         PP Hydrocarbons - to the extent such accounts receivable exist and are
         unpaid at the Effective Time and arise from the sale of PP Hydrocarbons
         before the Effective Time - as are necessary in order to cause Mirant,
         GPF and Fund VI to share in all collections of such accounts receivable
         after the Effective Time in proportion to their respective amended
         Percentage Shares.

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same, upon and subject to the terms of the
Original Conveyance, as amended hereby, unto GPF and its successors and
Permitted Assigns, until the Termination Time.

         6. Exhibit A to the Original Conveyance is hereby amended and

         7. The terms "NRI Percentage," "PP Hydrocarbons," "Subject
Hydrocarbons," "Subject Interests," "Subject Lands," and "Subject Wells," as
such terms are defined and used in the Original Conveyance, are hereby amended,
effective as of the Effective Time, in order to take into account and recognize
the addition of Additional Exhibit A hereto to the end of Exhibit A as attached

Original Conveyance shall likewise be considered amended in order to take into
account and recognize such Supplement and the addition of Additional Exhibit A
hereto to the end of Exhibit A as attached to the Original Conveyance.

         8. In consideration of the additional purchase price payment made by

                           to) any Additional Subject Lands prior to the
                           Termination Time (as determined after giving effect
