       "Proved  Reserves" shall mean those  quantities of  Hydrocarbons,  which,
upon analysis of geologic and engineering data, appear with reasonable certainty
to be recoverable in the future from known Hydrocarbon reservoirs under existing

quantities  of  Hydrocarbons  which can be expected,  with little  doubt,  to be
recoverable  commercially at current prices and costs, under existing regulatory
practices  and with  existing  conventional  equipment  and  operating  methods.
Depending  upon their  status of  development,  such  proved  reserves  shall be
subdivided   into  the   following   classifications   and  have  the  following
definitions:

             (a) "Proved  Developed  Reserves"  shall mean proved reserves which
       can be expected to be  recovered  through  existing  wells with  existing
       equipment and operating methods. This classification shall include:

                   (1) "Proved  Developed  Producing  Reserves" which are proved
             developed  reserves which are expected to be produced from existing
             wells; and

                   (2)  "Proved  Developed  Non-Producing  Reserves"  which  are
             proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of existing
             wells,  or at minor depths below the present  bottom of such wells,
             which  are  expected  to be  produced  through  these  wells in the
             predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons available
             for production should be relatively small compared to the cost of a
             new well.

             Additional   Hydrocarbons  expected  to  be  obtained  through  the
       application  of  improved  recovery  techniques  are  included as "Proved
       Developed  Reserves"  only after  testing by a pilot project or after the
       operation  of an  installed  program  has  confirmed  through  production
       responses that increased recovery will be achieved.

             (b) "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" shall mean all reserves which are
       expected  to be  recovered  from new wells on  undrilled  acreage or from
       existing  wells where a  relatively  major  expenditure  is required  for
       recompletion.  Such  reserves on  undrilled  acreage are limited to those
       drilling units offsetting  productive units which are reasonably  certain
       of  production  when  drilled;  provided  that proved  reserves for other
       undrilled  units  can  be  claimed  where  it can  be  demonstrated  with
       certainty,  based on accepted  geological,  geophysical  and  engineering
       studies and data, that there is continuity of production from an existing
       productive  formation.  No estimates for Proved Undeveloped  Reserves are
       attributable to any acreage for which improved  recovery is contemplated,
       unless the techniques to be employed have been proved effective by actual
       tests in the same area and reservoir.

       "Remove",  "Removed"  or  "Removal"  shall mean,  with  reference  to the
removal of the Managing  Partner,  the  termination  of the  management  powers,
duties and  responsibilities of the Managing Partner pursuant to Section 6.2 and
the removal of the Managing Partner as a Partner.

net profits interest,  in gross production or the proceeds  therefrom which does
not  require  the  owner  thereof  to  bear  any  of  the  cost  of  production,
development, operation or maintenance.

       "Sale" shall mean any event or  transaction  that is, for Federal  income
tax  purposes,  considered a sale,  exchange or  abandonment  by the  Production
Partnership of any Production Partnership Property.

       be made at a price equal to the fair market value  thereof as  determined
       by an independent petroleum engineer;

             (iii) If the Managing Partner sells,  transfers or conveys any oil,
       gas or other mineral interests or property to the Production Partnership,
       it must, at the same time,  sell to the  Production  Partnership an equal
       proportionate  interest in all its other property in the same Prospect. A
       Sale or conveyance to the Production  Partnership of less than the entire
       ownership  interest  of the  Managing  Partner or any  Affiliate  is only
       permitted  if: (a) the  interests  retained or  obtained by the  Managing
       Partner or  Affiliate  and  acquired by the  Production  Partnership  are
       either (x) proportionate,  uniform and undivided Working Interests if the
       Producing  Property  acquired by the Production  Partnership is a Working
       Interest or (y) proportionate, uniform and undivided Royalty Interests if
       the  Producing  Property  acquired  by the  Production  Partnership  is a
       Royalty,  (b) the  respective  obligations  of the  Managing  Partner  or
       Affiliate and the



                                      -19-

      Production Partnership are substantially the same, and (c) the interest of
      the  Managing  Partner or its  Affiliate  in revenues  does not exceed the
      amount  proportionate  to its  interest.  The  Managing  Partner  and  its
      Affiliate  may not retain or obtain any  overrides or other burdens on the
      interest  obtained by the Production  Partnership,  and may not enter into
      any  Farmouts   with  respect  to  its   retained   interest,   except  to
      nonaffiliated third parties or to an Affiliated Program;

            (iv) In the event the Managing Partner or any Affiliate  proposes to
      acquire an interest in a Prospect in which the Production  Partnership has
      an  interest  or in a Prospect  abandoned  by the  Production  Partnership
      within one year preceding such proposed acquisition,  the Managing Partner
      or Affiliate shall offer the interest to the Production  Partnership;  and
      if cash or financing is not  available to the  Production  Partnership  to
      purchase such interest,  neither the Managing  Partner nor Affiliate shall
      acquire an interest in such  Prospect.  The term "abandon" for the purpose
      of this  subparagraph  shall mean the termination,  either voluntary or by
      operation  of  the  Lease  or   otherwise,   of  all  of  the   Production
      Partnership's  interest in the Prospect.  This subsection  shall not apply
      after  the  lapse  of  five  years  of the  Activation  of the  Production
      Partnership  or to  any  Affiliated  Program  where  the  interest  of the
      Managing  Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the  Production
      Partnership, there are no duplication of fees to the Managing Partner, and
      the Managing  Partner does not obtain a greater  benefit from  purchase of
      the interest by the Affiliated  Program than it would if the interest were
      purchased by the Production Partnership;

            (v) During the existence of the Production Partnership and before it
      has ceased  operations,  neither the  Managing  Partner nor any  Affiliate
      (excluding  any  Affiliated  Program  where the  interest of the  Managing
      Partner  is  less  than  or  equal  to  its  interest  in  the  Production
      Partnership)  shall  acquire,  retain or drill for its own account any oil
      and gas interest in any  Prospect  upon which the  Production  Partnership
      possesses an interest,  except for transactions  which comply with Section
      4.3B(iii)  or 4.8.  The  geological  limits  of a  Prospect  owned  by the
      Production  Partnership  shall be enlarged or  contracted  on the basis of
      subsequently acquired geological data to define the productive limits of a
      reservoir and must include all of the acreage determined by the subsequent
      data to be encompassed by such  reservoir.  If the geological  limits of a
      Prospect,  as so enlarged,  encompass  any  interest  held by the Managing
      Partner or an Affiliate of the Managing  Partner  (excluding an Affiliated
      Program where the interest of the Managing Partner is identical to or less
      than its interest in the Production  Partnership),  such interest shall be
      sold to the Production  Partnership  in accordance  with the provisions of
      Section  4.3B(iv) and any net income  previously  received by the Managing
      Partner or Affiliate shall be paid over to the Production Partnership.  If
      the  Managing  Partner  acquires  additional  acreage  or  interests  in a
      Prospect  of  the  Production  Partnership,  it  must  sell  such  to  the
      Production Partnership and is prohibited from retaining any such interest,



                                      -20-
<PAGE>



      except as may be permitted by Section 4.3B. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      the Production Partnership will not be required to expend additional funds
      to acquire any such interest  unless funds are available  from the Capital
      Contributions of the Partners;

            (vi)  Producing  Properties  may be sold,  Farmed-out  or  otherwise
      transferred from or to an Affiliated Program only pursuant to transactions
      that comply with Sections  4.3B(iii),  4.3B(iv) or 4.8,  provided that the
      compensation  arrangement  or any other  interest or right of the Managing
      Partner or any  Affiliate is the same in the  Production  Partnership  and
      Affiliated  Program,  or, if different,  the  compensation of the Managing
      Partner  does not  exceed  the  lower of the  compensation  it would  have
      received in the Production Partnership or the Affiliated Program;

            (vii) Any Sale of  inventory or other  materials  by the  Production
      Partnership  to the  Managing  Partner or  Affiliate  shall be made at the
      applicable  rates  set  forth  in the  standard  form  of  the  accounting
      procedure  then  recommended  by  the  Council  of  Petroleum  Accountants
      Societies of North America;

            (viii)  Any  operating  agreements  pursuant  to which the  Managing
      Partner or any Affiliate acts as operator of Producing Properties shall be
      of a nature customary in the industry and payments to the Managing Partner
      or any Affiliate for acting as operator shall not exceed the  compensation
      which would be paid by  unaffiliated  third parties in the same geographic
      area  for  similar  goods  and  services.  Reimbursement  of the  Managing
      Partner's  overhead  pursuant  to such  operating  agreement  will  not be
      duplicative of any reimbursement of General and Administrative  Costs made
      pursuant to Section 5.2; and

            (ix) To the extent the Managing Partner or any Affiliate acquires an
      interest  in a  Producing  Property  in which the  Production  Partnership
      acquires an  interest,  the Managing  Partner or  Affiliate  shall pay its
      allocable  portion  of the  cost  of the  preparation  of the  Acquisition
      Reserve Report or Engineering Audit Letter, as the case may be, respecting
      such Producing Property.

       C.  The  Managing  Partner  may  not  expend  any  amount  of  Production
Partnership funds over the term of the Production Partnership for the payment of
Production  Partnership  costs  (other  than  recompletion  costs)  incurred  in
connection  with  Development  Drilling and Identified  Development  Drilling in
excess of 10% of the sum of: (i) the amount of the Unit  Holders'  Subscriptions
to the Limited  Partnership,  plus (ii) the Production  Partnership  permissible
borrowings.  If the Managing  Partner  determines  that funds in addition to the
Capital Contributions to the Production Partnership are required for the payment
of Production  Partnership costs (other than Property  Acquisition  Costs),  the
Managing  Partner  may apply or  reserve  Income or  Investment  Income  for the
payment of such  Production  Partnership  costs and/or the Managing  Partner may
cause the Production Partnership to borrow funds



                                      -21-
<PAGE>



for the payment of Production  Partnership  costs  incurred in  connection  with
Development  Drilling,  Identified  Development  Drilling and Improved  Recovery
operations;  provided,  however, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of such  borrowings  shall not at any one time exceed an amount  equal to 20% of
the Unit Holders' Subscriptions to the Limited Partnership.

       D. The Managing Partner shall have the authority to secure the payment of
borrowings  incurred  by it for its own  account or for  purposes  of paying its
allocable share of Production  Partnership  costs by assigning to lenders all or
part of its interest in Profits and  Distributable  Cash,  and by granting  such
lenders  a  security  interest  or  mortgage  in an  undivided  interest  in any
Production Partnership Property not to exceed its percentage interest in Income;
provided, however, that the Managing Partner, shall retain unencumbered at least
a  1%  interest  in  each  of  Production  Partnership  Property,   Profits  and
Distributable Cash.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
in the event of any sale or  foreclosure of the Managing  Partner's  interest in
full or partial satisfaction of such borrowings,  appropriate  adjustments shall
be made in the  Capital  Accounts  of the  Partners  and in the  method by which
Income  and costs are  allocated  to the  Partners  to assure  that the  Limited
Partnership  will  not  bear  any of the  costs  attributable  to  such  sold or
foreclosed  interest and that the Managing Partner will not share or participate
in any of the capital, Income, costs or distributions  attributable to such sold
or  foreclosed  interest  except  to the  extent  of the  unencumbered  interest
retained by the Managing  Partner.  The Managing  Partner  shall  indemnify  the
Limited Partnership against any expenses resulting from a sale or foreclosure of
the Managing Partner's interest.

       Section 4.4.  Prohibited Transactions

       A.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Agreement  to the
contrary, the following transactions are expressly prohibited:

            (i) the  Production  Partnership  shall  not make any loans to the
      Managing Partner or any Affiliate;

            (ii) neither the Managing  Partner nor any Affiliate  shall make any
      loans to the  Production  Partnership  except at a rate of interest not in
      excess of the interest cost incurred by the Managing Partner or Affiliates
      or the  amount  of  interest  that  would  be  charged  to the  Production
      Partnership  (without  regard to the  Managing  Partner's  or  Affiliate's
      financial  abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on comparable loans
      for the same  purpose,  whichever is lower,  and the Managing  Partner and
      Affiliates  shall  not  receive  points  or  financing   charges  or  fees
      regardless of the amount;

            (iii) except as expressly  contemplated hereby, no agent,  attorney,
      accountant  or other  independent  consultant  or  contractor  who is also
      employed on a full-time  basis by the  Managing  Partner or any  Affiliate
      shall  be  compensated  by  the  Production  Partnership  for  his  or her
      services;



                                      -22-
<PAGE>




            (iv) other than those  received  for the  account of the  Production
      Partnership,  no rebates may be received  by the  Managing  Partner or any
      Affiliate  in  connection  with  Production   Partnership   operations  or
      expenditures, nor may the Managing Partner or any Affiliate participate in
      any  reciprocal  business  arrangement  that would  circumvent  any of the
      provisions of this Agreement;

            (v) on a monthly  basis,  costs paid and  revenues  received  by the
      Managing  Partner  or an  Affiliate  for  the  account  of the  Production
      Partnership  shall be determined  and the net amount  resulting  from such
      monthly  settlement  shall  be  deposited  into a  Production  Partnership
      Account and no funds which, after such monthly settlement,  are determined
      to be held for the account of the Production  Partnership shall be kept in
      any account other than a Production  Partnership Account, and the Managing
      Partner shall not employ, or permit any other Person to employ, such funds
      in any manner  except for the benefit of the  Production  Partnership;  it
      being  understood  that  the  Managing   Partner  may  invest   Production
      Partnership  funds temporarily in the investments set forth in Section 9.3
      of this Agreement pending their use by the Production  Partnership.  After
      such  monthly  settlement,   Production   Partnership  funds  may  not  be
      commingled  with  separate  funds of the  Managing  Partner  or any  other
      entity; and

            (vi) the Limited  Partnership  shall not make any advance payment to
      the Managing  Partner or its Affiliates,  except where necessary to secure
      tax benefits of prepaid drilling costs.

       B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
without the prior  Consent of the Limited  Partnership  granted  pursuant to the
provisions of Article Eleven of this Agreement and the provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Managing Partner shall not:

             (i) lease,  sell, or dispose of all or  substantially  all of the
       Production Partnership's assets;

             (ii) make,  exercise or deliver any  general  assignment  for the
       benefit of the Production Partnership's creditors;

             (iii) except as set forth in Section  lO.1A,  amend any provision
       of this Agreement; or

             (iv) dissolve the Production Partnership.

       Section 4.5.  Other Agreements of the Managing Partner

       A.    Anything in this  Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding,  it
is agreed that:



                                      -23-
<PAGE>




             (i) the  Managing  Partner  and its  Affiliates  shall not take any
       action  with  respect  to  the  assets  or  property  of  the  Production
       Partnership   which  does  not   benefit   exclusively   the   Production
       Partnership, including:

                   (a)  the  utilization  of Production  Partnership  funds as
             compensating  balances for the benefit of the Managing Partner or
             an Affiliate of the Managing Partner; and

                   (b)  the commitment of future production;

             (ii)   all   benefits   from   marketing   arrangements   or  other
       relationships affecting property of the Managing Partner or its Affiliate
       and the Production  Partnership shall be fairly and equitably apportioned
       according to the respective interests of each;

             (iii)  neither the Managing  Partner nor any  Affiliate  may profit
       itself  by  Development  Drilling,  Identified  Development  Drilling  or
       Improved Recovery operations in contravention of its fiduciary obligation
       to the Limited Partnership; and

             (iv) neither the Managing Partner nor any Affiliate shall render to
       the Production  Partnership any oil field, equippage or drilling services
       nor sell or lease to the Production  Partnership any equipment or related
       supplies unless:

                   (a) such Person is engaged,  independently  of the Production
             Partnership  and  as an  ordinary  and  ongoing  business,  in  the
             business of  rendering  such  services  or selling or leasing  such
             equipment and supplies to a substantial  extent to other Persons in
             the oil  and gas  industry  in  addition  to  drilling  and  income
             programs in which such Person has an interest;

                   (b) the compensation, price or rental therefor is competitive
             with the compensation, price or rental of other Persons in the area
             engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or selling
             or leasing comparable equipment and supplies which could reasonably
             be made available to the Production Partnership;

                   (c)  the  drilling  services  are  billed  on  either a per
             foot, per day or per hour rate, or some combination thereof; and

                   (d)  provided  that,  if  such  Person  is not  engaged  in a
             business   within  the  meaning  of  subdivision   (a),  then  such
             compensation,  price or rental shall be the cost of such  services,
             equipment or supplies to such Person or the competitive  rate which
             could be obtained in the area, whichever is less.



                                      -24-

       Section 4.6.  Construction of Gas Gathering Lines

       The Managing  Partner may cause the  Production  Partnership to construct
gas  gathering  lines if, in the opinion of the  Managing  Partner,  it would be
economically  feasible and otherwise  consistent with prudent operating practice
to do so. The costs of any such  gathering  lines will be deemed to be Operating
Costs and shall be charged to the accounts of the Partners as such. The Managing
Partner may, in its discretion, construct, or cause an Affiliate of the Managing
Partner  or  other  person  to  construct,   gathering   lines  from  Production
Partnership  Wells to gas  transmission  systems.  Whenever the Managing Partner
constructs,  or causes an  Affiliate  of the Managing  Partner to  construct,  a
gathering line from a Production  Partnership Well to a gas transmission system,
the Production  Partnership  shall pay the Managing Partner or such Affiliate an
amount that is not greater than the  compensation  that an unrelated party could
have reasonably  charged in an arm's-length  transaction for similar services in
the area as a  transmission  fee for the  transmission  of all gas  through  the
gathering system so constructed,  and no other transmission fee shall be paid to
the Managing Partner or to any Affiliate.

       Section 4.7.    Contracts with the Managing Partner  and Affiliates

       All  services  provided to the  Production  Partnership  by the  Managing
Partner or any  Affiliate  for which it is  compensated  shall be  embodied in a
written  contract  precisely  setting  forth the services to be rendered and the
compensation  to be paid.  Each contract  relating to a transaction  between the
Production Partnership and the Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall contain a
provision  which shall  permit  termination  of the  contract by the  Production
Partnership  without  penalty on 30 days'  prior  written  notice.  The  Limited
Partnership  shall have the power to terminate,  without  cause or penalty,  any
such contract on behalf of the Production Partnership.

       Section 4.8.  Farmouts

       The  Managing  Partner may  dispose of  Producing  Properties  by Sale or
Farmout when it, exercising the standard of a prudent operator,  determines that
(a) the Production  Partnership  lacks sufficient  funds to conduct  Development
Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on the
properties and cannot obtain suitable alternative financing for such Development
Drilling,  Identified Development Drilling or Improved Recovery operations;  (b)
the properties have been downgraded by events  occurring after assignment to the
Production  Partnership  to the  point  that  additional  Development  Drilling,
Identified  Development  Drilling,  Improved  Recovery  operations  or continued
production  would no longer be  desirable  to the  Production  Partnership;  (c)
Development  Drilling,  Identified  Development  Drilling or  Improved  Recovery
operations  on the  properties  would  result in an excessive  concentration  of
Production Partnership funds on a Producing Property creating, in the opinion of



                                      -25-
<PAGE>



the Managing Partner, undue risk to the Production Partnership;  or (d) the best
interests of the Production  Partnership would be served by the Sale or Farmout.
The  Production  Partnership  shall not conduct any drilling of wells other than
Development Drilling and Identified  Development  Drilling;  provided,  however,
that the  drilling  of wells  other than  Development  Drilling  and  Identified
Development  Drilling may be performed on behalf of the  Production  Partnership
pursuant  to  Farmouts.  Any Sale,  Farmout or  similar  agreement  between  the
Production Partnership and the Managing Partner, Affiliate or Affiliated Program
will be permitted under the restrictions set forth in this Article Four and will
be subject to the following conditions:

             (i) the  Managing  Partner,  exercising  the  standard of a prudent
       operator,  shall determine that the Sale, Farmout or similar agreement is
       in the best interests of the Production Partnership; and

             (ii) the  terms of the  Sale,  Farmout  or  similar  agreement  are
       consistent  with and in any case no less favorable than those utilized in
       the same geographic area for similar arrangements.

Except as required by Section 4.3B(iii) or (iv), a Production  Partnership shall
acquire only those Leases that are reasonably required for the operations of the
Production  Partnership,  and no Leases  shall be  acquired  for the  purpose of
subsequent  sale or Farmout,  unless  such  Leases are a part of an  acquisition
which is sold as a package only, or unless the acquisition of undeveloped Leases
by the  Production  Partnership  is made after a well has been drilled nearby by
third Parties to a depth  sufficient to indicate that such an  acquisition is in
the best interests of the Production Partnership.

       Section 4.9.  Other Operations

       The Managing Partner shall devote such time to the Production Partnership
as is reasonably required to carry on the Production  Partnership business,  and
the Managing Partner and its Affiliates  shall at all times be free,  subject to
any restrictions  contained herein, to engage in all aspects of the Hydrocarbons
and natural  resources  business  for their own accounts and for the accounts of
others.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Managing Partner
and  its  Affiliates  shall  have  the  right  to  organize  and  operate  other
partnerships, joint ventures or other oil and gas investment programs similar to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership.

       Section   4.10.   Prosecution,   Defense  and   Settlement  of  Claims;
Indemnification

       A. The Managing  Partner shall arrange to  prosecute,  defend,  settle or
compromise  actions  at  law  or in  equity  at the  expense  of the  Production
Partnership  as may be  necessary  to enforce or protect  the  interests  of the
Production Partnership. The Managing Partner shall satisfy any judgment, decree,
decision or settlement, first, out of any insurance proceeds available therefor,
next, out of the Production  Partnership assets and Income, and, finally, out of
the assets of the  Managing  Partner  and the  general  partner  of the  Limited
Partnership.



                                      -26-
<PAGE>




       B.  The  Managing  Partner  shall  have no  liability  to the  Production
Partnership  or to any  Partner or Unit  Holders  for any loss  suffered  by the
Production  Partnership  which  arises  out of any  action  or  inaction  of the
Managing Partner if the Managing  Partner,  in good faith,  determined that such
course of conduct was in the best  interests of the Production  Partnership  and
such  course of conduct  did not  constitute  negligence  or  misconduct  of the
Managing  Partner.  The Managing  Partner shall be indemnified by the Production
Partnership  against any losses,  judgments,  liabilities,  expenses and amounts
paid  in  settlement  of any  claims  sustained  by it in  connection  with  the
Production Partnership, provided that the same were not the result of negligence
or misconduct on the part of the Managing  Partner.  Any  indemnification  under
this Section 4.10 shall be satisfied  solely out of the Assets and Income of the
Production  Partnership.  All amounts payable under this Section 4.10 shall be a
liability  of the  Production  Partnership  only and no Unit  Holders or Limited
Partners will have any liability therefor.

       C.   Notwithstanding  the  above,  the  Managing  Partner  shall  not  be
indemnified  for  liabilities  arising under federal and state  securities  laws
unless (1) there has been a successful  adjudication on the merits of each count
involving  securities law violations and the court approves such indemnification
and the litigation  costs  thereof;  or (2) such claims have been dismissed with
prejudice  on the  merits  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  and the court
approves such  indemnification  and the litigation  costs  thereof.  In any such
case,  the Managing  Partner  shall  apprise the court of the current  published
positions,   if  any,  of  the  federal,   the  Massachusetts  State  Securities
Administrator  and other applicable state  securities  administrators  regarding
indemnification  of program  sponsors  prior to obtaining  court approval of any
such indemnification.

       D. The Production  Partnership  shall not incur the costs of that portion
of insurance  which  insures the Managing  Partner for any liability as to which
the Managing Partner is prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE
                       Distributions, Fees and Allocations

       Section   5.1.    Distributions  of  Production  Partnership Funds

       The Distributable Cash of the Production Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously  to the Limited  Partnership  and the Managing  Partner within 45
days after the close of each calendar quarter. Each Partner's share of each such
distribution of  Distributable  Cash shall be determined  after giving effect to
the  allocations  set  forth  in  Sections  5.3  and 5.4 for  such  period.  All
distributions of Distributable Cash shall reduce  dollar-for-dollar the balances
of the Partners' Capital Accounts.

       Section  5.2.  Fees  and  Reimbursement  of  Expenses  to the  Managing
Partner

       Geodyne   Production   shall  receive  as  Managing   Partner  (1)  on  a
nonrecurring  basis,  the  Acquisitions and Operations Fee in an amount equal to
3.5% of the  Unit  Holders'  Subscriptions;  and (2)  reimbursement  for  Direct
Administrative  Costs billed  directly to the  Managing  Partner and General and
Administrative  Costs  incurred  by  the  Managing  Partner  or  its  Affiliates
allocable to the Production Partnership,  except to the extent that the Managing
Partner or its  Affiliate is  otherwise  reimbursed  for such costs  through the
payment  of  Property  Acquisition  Costs,  Operating  Costs or  otherwise.  The
aggregate amount of General and  Administrative  Costs allocable to the accounts
of the Unit Holders for which the Managing  Partner  will be  reimbursed  by the
Production  Partnership and the General Partner by the Limited  Partnership will
not  (a)  in  the  first  12  months  following  Activation  of  the  Production
Partnership,  exceed an amount equal to 2.5% of the Unit Holders' Subscriptions,
and (b) in any  succeeding 12 month period,  exceed an amount equal to 1% of the
Unit Holders' Subscriptions.

       Section  5.3.  Allocation  of  Income,  Investment  Income,  Costs  and
Deductions

       A. The Income,  Investment Income, Profits,  Production Partnership costs
and losses of the Production  Partnership shall be determined and allocated with
respect to each Fiscal Year of the  Production  Partnership  as of and within 75
days after the end of such Fiscal Year.

       B. Except as otherwise provided in this Article Five

             (i)   100% of  Investment  Income,  Property  Acquisition  Costs,
                   costs incurred in connection  with  Identified  Development
                   Drilling  (including  any  interest,  commitment  fees  and
                   other finance  charges with respect to borrowings  incurred
                   in  connection   therewith)   and  the   Acquisitions   and
                   Operations  Fee referred to in Section  5.2(1) shall all be
                   allocated to, and borne by, the Limited  Partnership.  100%
                   of  Organization  and Offering Costs shall be allocated to,
                   and borne by, the  Managing  Partner.  Except as  otherwise
                   provided in Sections  5.3B(ii) and (iii),  Income,  General
                   and Administrative  Costs,  Operating Costs, costs incurred
                   in  connection   with   Development   Drilling  and  Direct
                   Administrative  Costs shall be allocated  among,  and borne
                   by, the Partners in the following percentages:

                   (a)  Until Payout:
                        Limited Partnership                    95.9596%

                        Geodyne Production                      4.0404%

<PAGE>





                   (b)  After Payout:
                        Limited Partnership                    85.8586%

                        Geodyne Production                     14.1414%

             (ii)  As used in this subsection,  the "Property Investment Period"
                   shall mean that period which begins with the first day of the
                   calendar  quarter  following  either (i) the calendar quarter
                   during  which  90% of the  Production  Partnership's  capital
                   available for  purchasing  Producing  Properties  has been so
                   expended,  or (ii) the  calendar  quarter in which 50% of the
                   Production  Partnership's  capital  available for  purchasing
                   Producing  Properties  has been so expended,  as the Managing
                   Partner shall elect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                   contained  herein,  if, at Payout,  the total  amount of cash
                   distributions by the Limited  Partnership to the Unit Holders
                   from the commencement of the Property  Investment Period have
                   averaged on a twelve-month  basis an amount that is less than
                   12% of the Unit  Holders'  Subscriptions,  the  percentage of
                   Income, and costs which are shared in the same proportions as
                   Income,  allocated to the Managing and General  Partners will
                   increase to only 10% and the Unit  Holders  will be allocated
                   90% thereof until such time, if ever, that the  distributions
                   to the Unit  Holders  from the  commencement  of the Property
                   Investment Period reaches a twelve-month  average equal to at
                   least 12% of the Unit Holders'  Subscriptions,  at which time
                   Income  and costs  shared in the same  proportions  as Income
                   will  be  allocated  14.1414%  to the  Managing  Partner  and
                   85.8586% to the Limited Partnership.

             (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
                   on the seventh anniversary of the last day of the Fiscal Year
                   in which the  Production  Partnership  commences  Development
                   Drilling,  or Identified  Development  Drilling,  and in each
                   Fiscal Year  thereafter,  (a) the aggregate  amount of Income
                   less the aggregate amount of direct lease operating  expenses
                   and severance, ad valorem, windfall profits, excise and other
                   taxes  (but  not  income  taxes)  allocated  to  the  Limited
                   Partnership  pursuant to Section  5.3(b)(i)  attributable  to
                   production resulting from Development Drilling and Identified
                   Development Drilling on Producing Properties is less than (b)
                   the  aggregate  amount  of  costs  allocated  to the  Limited
                   Partnership   pursuant  to  Section  5.3(B)(i)   incurred  in
                   connection   with   Development   Drilling   and   Identified
                   Development Drilling on Producing Properties during



                                      -29-
<PAGE>



                  each  Fiscal Year  ending  seven or more years prior  thereto,
                  then  Income and costs  otherwise  allocable  to the  Managing
                  Partner  pursuant  to  Section  5.3B(i)  shall  thereafter  be
                  allocated to the Limited  Partnership until such deficiency in
                  Income is eliminated.

             (iv) For purposes of the allocations set forth in Section  5.3B(ii)
                  of this  Agreement,  the  amount  of cash  distributed  to the
                  Limited  Partnership for purposes of determining the return on
                  the Unit  Holders'  Subscriptions  to the Limited  Partnership
                  shall not include any amounts  attributable  to the Production
                  Partnership's payment of any windfall profits tax.

       C. All items of Income,  gain,  loss,  deduction and credit allowable for
federal income tax purposes and all recapture of any such deductions and credits
shall be  allocated  and charged or credited to the  Partners in the same manner
that the revenues,  costs or expenses giving rise to such items of income, gain,
loss,  deduction  and credit  are  allocated  and  charged.  Federal  income tax
deductions  for cost or  percentage  depletion  with  respect  to any  Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of  percentage  depletion  on the  same  basis  that  the  Income  from the
Producing Property is allocated;  and the Production Partnership shall allocate,
under Section  612A(c)(7)(D)  of the Code,  its adjusted basis in each Producing
Property to the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Production
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property. If such allocation
of basis is not permitted  under the Code, the basis of each such property shall
be allocated in the manner  which the Managing  Partner  deems will most closely
achieve the result intended above.

       D. Capital  Accounts shall be established and maintained for each Partner
in accordance with tax accounting  principles and with valid regulations  issued
by the U.S.  Treasury  Department under subsection  704(b) of the Code (the "704
Regulations").  To the  extent  that  tax  accounting  principles  and  the  704
Regulations  may conflict,  the latter shall  control.  In  connection  with the
establishment and maintenance of such Capital Accounts, the following provisions
shall apply:

             (i) Each  Partner's  Capital  Account shall be (i) increased by the
       amount of its Capital  Contribution,  the fair  market  value of property
       contributed  by it to the  Production  Partnership  (net  of  liabilities
       securing such  contributed  property that the  Production  Partnership is
       considered  to assume or take  subject to under  section 752 of the Code)
       and  allocations  to it of Income and gain  (except  to the  extent  such
       Income or gain has previously  been  reflected in its Capital  Account by
       adjustments  thereto) and (ii)  decreased by the amount of  Distributable
       Cash distributed to it, the fair market value of property  distributed to
       it by the  Production  Partnership  (net  of  liabilities  securing  such
       distributed  property  that such Partner is  considered to assume or take
       subject  to under  section  752 of the  Code)  and  allocations  to it of
       Production Partnership loss, deduction (except to the



                                      -30-
<PAGE>



      extent such loss or deduction has previously been reflected in its Capital
      Account by  adjustments  thereto)  and  expenditures  described in section
      7O5(a)(2)(B) of the Code.

             (ii) In the event Production Partnership Property is distributed to
       a Partner,  then,  before the Capital Account of such Partner is adjusted
       as required by clause (i) of this Section 5.3D,  the Capital  Accounts of
       the  Partners  shall be  adjusted  to  reflect  the  manner  in which the
       unrealized  Income,  gain, loss and deduction inherent in such Production
       Partnership  Property  (that  has not  been  reflected  in  such  Capital
       Accounts  previously) would be allocated among the Partners if there were
       a taxable  disposition of such  Production  Partnership  Property for its
       fair market value on the date of distribution.

            (iii)  If,  pursuant  to  this  Agreement,   Production  Partnership
      Property is reflected on the books of the Production Partnership at a book
      value  that  differs  from  the  adjusted  tax  basis  of such  Production
      Partnership  Property,  then  the  Partners'  Capital  Accounts  shall  be
      adjusted in accordance  with the 704  Regulations  for  allocations to the
      Partners of depreciation,  depletion,  amortization,  and gain or loss, as
      computed for book purposes,  with respect to such  Production  Partnership
      Property.

            (iv) The Partners'  Capital Accounts shall be reduced by a simulated
      depletion  allowance computed on each oil or gas property using either the
      cost depletion  method or the percentage  depletion method (without regard
      to the  limitations  under  the Code  which  could  apply to less than all
      Partners);  provided,  however, that the choice between the cost depletion
      method  and  the   percentage   depletion   method  shall  be  made  on  a
      property-by-property  basis  and  such  choice  shall be  binding  for all
      Production Partnership taxable years during which such oil or gas property
      is held by the Production Partnership. Such reductions for depletion shall
      not exceed the aggregate adjusted basis allocated to the Partners and Unit
      Holders  with respect to such oil or gas  property.  Such  reductions  for
      depletion shall be allocated among the Partners'  Capital  Accounts in the
      same  proportions  as the  adjusted  basis in the  particular  property is
      allocated to each Partner.  Upon the taxable  disposition of an oil or gas
      property  by the  Production  Partnership,  the  Production  Partnership's
      simulated  gain or loss shall be determined by  subtracting  its simulated
      adjusted  basis  (aggregate  adjusted  tax  basis  of  the  Partners  less
      simulated depletion  allowances) in such property from the amount realized
      on such disposition and the Partners'  Capital Accounts shall be increased
      or  reduced,  as the case may be, by the amount of the  simulated  gain or
      loss on such  disposition in proportion to the Partners'  allocable shares
      of the total amount realized on such disposition.

            (v) For purposes of determining  the Capital  Account balance of any
      Partner  as of the end of any  Production  Partnership  taxable  year  for
      purposes of Subsection 5.3I hereto,  such Partner's  Capital Account shall
      be reduced by:



                                      -31-
<PAGE>




                  (a) Adjustments  that, as of the end of such year,  reasonably
            are expected to be made to such Partner's  Capital Account  pursuant
            to paragraph  (b)(2)(iv)(k)  of the 704  Regulations  for  depletion
            allowances  with respect to oil and gas properties of the Production
            Partnership, and

                   (b)  Distributions   that,  as  of  the  end  of  such  year,
             reasonably are expected to be made to such Partner pursuant to Code
             section 704(e)(2), Code section 706(d), and paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of
             section 1.751-1 of regulations promulgated under the Code, and

                   (c)  Distributions   that,  as  of  the  end  of  such  year,
             reasonably  are  expected to be made to such  Partner to the extent
             they exceed offsetting  increases to such Partner's Capital Account
             that  reasonably  are  expected  to occur  during (or prior to) the
             Production  Partnership  taxable years in which such  distributions
             are expected to be made.

       E. The Capital  Accounts  of those  Partners  which are  charged  with an
expense of the Production Partnership shall be credited with any portion of that
expense  which is finally  determined,  judicially  or  administratively,  to be
nondeductible  for  Federal  income  tax  purposes,  less  any  amortization  or
depreciation thereof incurred prior to the date that the credit is made.

       F. In allocating  Income and costs for any Fiscal Year in which the ratio
for  sharing  Income  and  costs  changes  pursuant  to  Section  5.3B(i),   the
allocations  of Income and costs shall be made,  and the books of the Production
Partnership  shall be  closed,  as soon as  practicable  after  the date  Payout
occurs,  to determine  each Partner's  share of pre-change  Income and costs and
each Partner's share of post-change Income and costs for that Fiscal Year.

       G. Proceeds  received from the Sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Production  Partnership's Producing Properties shall be allocated to the Limited
Partnership  and the Managing  Partner to the extent of their  adjusted basis in
such sold or transferred Production Partnership Property.  Proceeds in excess of
said amount shall be allocated in accordance  with the  percentages set forth in
Section 5.3B(i), except that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3F and
solely for purposes of this Section 5.3G,  where the proceeds from such Sale are
distributed to the Partners and a portion of the Distributable Cash attributable
to such Sale  proceeds  is  sufficient  in  amount  to cause  Payout to occur in
accordance with the allocation  percentages in effect until Payout, Payout shall
be deemed to occur such that Income and  Distributable  Cash attributable to the
portion  of such  Sale  proceeds  in  excess of the  portion  of Sales  proceeds
sufficient  in amount to cause Payout to occur shall be allocated in  accordance
with the allocation percentages in effect after Payout.



                                      -32-

       H.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,  if, under any
provision of this  Agreement,  the Capital Account of any Partner is adjusted to
reflect  the  difference  between  the basis to the  Production  Partnership  of
Production  Partnership Property and such Production Partnership Property's fair
market value,  then all items of Income,  gain, loss, and deduction with respect
to such Production Partnership Property shall be allocated among the Partners so
as to take  account  of the  variation  between  the  basis  of such  Production
Partnership  Property and its fair market value at the time of the adjustment to
such Partner's Capital Account in accordance with the requirements of subsection
704(c) of the Code, or in the same manner as provided under subsection 704(c) of
the Code.

       I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein,

             (i) Subject only to the provisions of Section 5.3J,  there shall be
       allocated to the Managing Partner, any item of loss, deduction, credit or
       allowance  that, but for this Section 5.3I,  would have been allocated to
       the other  General  Partner that is not  obligated to restore any deficit
       balance in such Partner's Capital Account and would have thereupon caused
       or increased a deficit  balance in such Partner's  Capital  Account as of
       the  end of the  Production  Partnership's  taxable  year to  which  such
       allocation  related  (after taking into  consideration  the provisions of
       Subsection 5.3D(v) hereof);

             (ii) Any  General  Partner  that is not  obligated  to restore  any
       deficit  balance  in such  Partner's  Capital  Account  who  unexpectedly
       receives  an  adjustment,   allocation  or   distribution   specified  in
       Subsection  5.3D(v) hereof shall be allocated items of Income and gain in
       an amount and manner  sufficient  to eliminate  such  deficit  balance as
       quickly as possible; and

             (iii) In the event any  allocations of loss,  deduction,  credit or
       allowance are made to the Managing Partner pursuant to clause (i) of this
       Subsection 5.3I, the Managing Partner shall be subsequently allocated all
       items of Income and gain until the aggregate  amount of such  allocations
       of  Income  and  gain  is  equal  to the  aggregate  amount  of any  such
       allocations  of loss,  deduction,  credit or allowance  allocated to such
       Partners pursuant to clause (i) of this Subsection 5.3I.

       J. In the event there is a net  decrease in the  "minimum  gain," as that
term is defined in the 704 Regulations,  of the Production  Partnership during a
Production  Partnership  taxable year, all Partners with deficit Capital Account
balances at the end of such year shall be allocated, before any other allocation
is made under this Article Five,  Income and gain of the Production  Partnership
for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in the amount and in
the proportion necessary to eliminate such deficits as quickly as possible.  The
allocations  required by this  Section  5.3J shall be made as required by and in
accordance  with  Section  l.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e)  of the 704  Regulations.  It is
intended that the provision set forth in



                                      -33-
<PAGE>



this Section 5.3J will  constitute a "minimum gain  chargeback"  as described in
Section  1.704-l(b)(4)(iv)(e) of the 704 Regulations.  The 704 Regulations shall
control in the case of any conflict between the 704 Regulations and this Section
5.3J.

       Section 5.4.   Determinations of Allocations and Distributions

       Distributable Cash, Income, Investment Income, costs, deductions, Profits
and Losses  allocable to the Partners shall be distributed or allocated,  as the
case may be, to the Persons who were Partners,  as of the last day of the fiscal
period for which the  distribution  or allocation is to be made,  except that in
any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or transfers all or any part
of such  Partner's  Interest  to any Person  who  during  the  fiscal  period is
admitted as a Substituted  Partner,  the Distributable Cash, Income,  Investment
Income,  costs,  deductions,  Profits and Losses attributable to the Interest so
sold,  assigned or transferred shall,  subject to the provisions of Section 10.2
of this Agreement, be allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the
basis of the number of days in the fiscal  period before the  admission,  and on
and after the admission,  of the transferee as a Substituted Partner;  provided,
however,  that the  Distributable  Cash  attributable  to a Sale of a  Producing
Property  shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners on the day the
distribution  of such  Distributable  Cash occurs.  The Managing  Partner  shall
inform the other  Partners of the  occurrence  and terms of any such Sale by the
Production  Partnership  as  soon  as  practicable  after  such  Sale  has  been
consummated.


                                   ARTICLE SIX
                  Withdrawal or Removal of Managing Partner

       Section 6.1.  Transferability of Managing Partner's Interest

       A.  Upon 120 days  written  notice to all other  Partners,  the  Managing
Partner  may retire or  withdraw  from the  Production  Partnership  as Managing
Partner, subject to its obligation to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the
Production Partnership by virtue of such retirement or withdrawal.  In addition,
there may be substituted  in its stead as Managing  Partner any entity that has,
by  merger,  consolidation  or  otherwise,  acquired  substantially  all  of the
Managing Partner's assets or capital stock and continued its business.

       B.  Subject to Section  11.1 of this  Agreement,  upon the Consent of the
Limited Partnership,  which shall be given if the Consent of Unit Holders owning
more than 50% of the  outstanding  Depositary  Units is  obtained,  the Managing
Partner may assign or transfer its Managing Partner Interest; provided, however,
that no such  consent  shall be required in  connection  with an  assignment  or
transfer   pursuant  to  the  merger,   consolidation  or  transfer  of  all  or
substantially all of the assets of the Managing Partner.



                                      -34-

       C. The Managing Partner may, upon at least 90 days' written notice to the
Limited Partnership,  cause the Production Partnership to distribute, in partial
liquidation  of its  Interest in the  Production  Partnership,  to the  Managing
Partner  fractional,  undivided  interests in the  Producing  Properties  of the
Production  Partnership  (such  interest of the Managing  Partner in a Producing
Property distributed is hereinafter  referred to as the "Distributed  Interest")
up to an aggregate  interest equal in value to 75% of the value of the Producing
Properties  of the  Production  Partnership  that it would have been entitled to
upon a hypothetical  liquidation of the Production Partnership after application
of the  provisions of Section 8.2 (the  interest in a Producing  Property of the
Managing Partner retained in the Production  Partnership is hereinafter referred
to as the "Retained  Interest");  provided,  however,  that no such distribution
shall occur (i) more than once,  (ii) prior to seven years after the  Activation
of the Production  Partnership and (iii) unless the Managing  Partner obtains an
opinion  of  counsel  to the  Production  Partnership  to the  effect  that such
distribution will not result in any material adverse tax consequence to the Unit
Holders.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary in this  Agreement,  in the
event that any such distribution is made, the Managing Partner shall:

       (1)   make  appropriate  adjustments  in  the  Capital  Accounts  of  the
             Partners and in the allocation of Production Partnership Income and
             costs  to  assure  that the  Managing  Partner  will  not  share or
             participate in any of the capital,  costs, Income, or distributions
             attributable   to  the  Producing   Properties  of  the  Production
             Partnership  except to the extent of the  Retained  Interest of the
             Managing Partner;

       (2)   not voluntarily or otherwise  dispose of its  Distributed  Interest
             unless the undivided interest of the Production Partnership in such

       Section 6.3.  Successor Managing Partner

       A. (i) If the Managing  Partner is Removed or  withdraws  and a successor
       Managing  Partner is to be admitted to the  Production  Partnership,  the

       successor   Managing   Partner  has  been  admitted  to  the   Production
       Partnership pursuant to Article Ten of this Agreement.

             (ii) In the event the Managing  Partner  withdraws or is Removed by
       the  Limited  Partnership  and  a  successor  Managing  Partner  is to be
       admitted,  the  incoming  Managing  Partner  and the  departing  Managing
       Partner  shall,  by mutual  agreement,  select an  independent  petroleum
       consultant  to value the  departing  Managing  Partner's  Interest in the
       Production Partnership.  The incoming Managing Partner, or the Production
       Partnership,  shall  have the  option  to  purchase  at least  20% of the
       Interest of the departing  Managing  Partner for the value  determined by
       the independent  appraisal.  The departing Managing Partner's Interest in
       the Production Partnership shall be transferred to the successor Managing
       Partner, and the successor Managing Partner shall assign to the departing
       Managing Partner a portion of Production  Partnership  Income,  costs and
       Distributable  Cash as and when such items are allocated or  distributed,
       as the case may be, by the Production Partnership equal to the percentage
       interest of the departing Managing Partner in the Production  Partnership
       prior to  withdrawal  or  Removal,  less  the  portion  purchased  by the
       successor Managing Partner or the Production Partnership.

       B. Notwithstanding  Section 3.6, the Managing Partner, upon withdrawal or
removal  shall  be  released  by the  other  Partners  from  all  liability  for
Production   Partnership  debts  and  obligations  incurred  by  the  Production
Partnership prior to the date of such withdrawal or Removal.

       C. Under circumstances in which the Limited  Partnership  Consents to the
admission  of a successor  Managing  Partner,  such  admission  shall not become
effective unless the Production  Partnership  shall have received a certificate,
duly executed by or on behalf of such proposed successor Managing Partner to the
effect  that  it is  experienced  in  the  performance  (or  employs  sufficient
personnel who are experienced in performing) of functions of the type then being
performed by the departing Managing Partner.

<PAGE>




       No Sale,  exchange,  transfer or assignment of the Limited  Partnership's
Interest  may  be  made  if,  in  the  opinion  of  counsel  to  the  Production
Partnership,  such Sale,  exchange,  transfer  or  assignment,  would  cause the
Production  Partnership  to lose its status as a partnership  for Federal income
tax purposes.  In addition,  the Managing  Partner may require an opinion of the
transferor's  counsel,  satisfactory  to the Managing  Partner,  that such Sale,
exchange,  transfer or assignment  would not violate the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or any state securities or "blue sky" laws.


       Section 7.2.  Incapacity of Partners

       If a Partner (including the Managing Partner) becomes Incapacitated,  the
Person  who is its legal  representative  shall have all the rights of a Partner
for the  purpose  of  settling  or  managing  its  estate  and such power as the
Incapacitated Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest and to
join with such  assignee in  satisfying  conditions  precedent to such  assignee
becoming a Substituted  Partner.  The Incapacity of a Partner shall not dissolve
the Production Partnership.

       Section 7.3.  Assignees and Substituted Partners

       A. The  Production  Partnership  shall not  recognize for any purpose any
purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited  Partnership  unless the  provisions  of Section 7.1 shall have been
complied with and there shall have been filed with the Production  Partnership a
dated  Notification  of  such  sale,   assignment  or  transfer,   executed  and
acknowledged  by both the seller,  assignor  or  transferor  and the  purchaser,
assignee or transferee and such  Notification (i) contains the acceptance by the
purchaser,  assignee or  transferee  of all of the terms and  provisions of this
Agreement and (ii) represents that such sale, assignment or transfer was made in
accordance with all applicable  laws and  regulations.  Any sale,  assignment or
transfer shall be recognized by the  Production  Partnership as effective on the
date of such  Notification if the date of such Notification is within 30 days of
the date on which such  Notification  is filed with the Production  Partnership,
and otherwise shall be recognized as effective on the date such  Notification is
filed with the Production Partnership.

       B.  If the  Limited  Partnership  assigns  all of  its  Interest  to an
assignee, the Limited Partnership shall cease to be a Partner.

       C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited  Partnership  shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article
Seven to the same  extent  and in the same  manner  as the  Limited  Partnership
desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.

       D. Any purchaser,  assignee,  transferee,  donee,  heir, legatee or other
recipient of an Interest  shall be admitted to the  Production  Partnership as a
Substituted  Partner only with the Consent of the other Partners,  which Consent
may be  granted  or  withheld  by such  Partners  at  their  sole  and  absolute
discretion. The admission of such



                                      -37-
<PAGE>



Person as a  Substituted  Partner  shall be  evidenced  by the  execution by the
Partners of a certificate  evidencing  the admission of such Person as a Partner
and an amendment to this Agreement  executed by the Managing  Partner on its own
behalf,  as well as on behalf of each other  Partner,  pursuant  to the power of
attorney granted pursuant to Section 12 . 5.

       E. No Person shall become a  Substituted  Partner until such Person shall
have satisfied the requirements of Section 10.2; provided, however, that for the
purpose of allocating Income,  Investment Income,  Profits,  Losses,  costs, and
Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as having become, and as appearing
in the records of the Production  Partnership  as, a Partner on such date as the
sale,  assignment or transfer to such Person was  recognized  by the  Production
Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.

       Section 7.4.  Incapacity of the Limited Partnership

       Upon the  Incapacity of the Limited  Partnership or upon the seizure of a
Limited Partnership's Interest in the Production  Partnership,  the successor to
such Limited Partnership's Interest ("Successor") shall be deemed an assignee of
such Limited  Partnership's  Interest in the Production  Partnership and neither
the  Production  Partnership  nor the  Successor  shall have the right to demand
immediate valuation and payment of such Limited Partnership's Interest.

       extended by the Managing Partner pursuant to Section 2.4;

             (ii) the  Incapacity  of the Managing  Partner.  However,  within

       reconstitute  the  Production  Partnership  prior to application of the
       liquidation provisions of Section 8.2;

             (iii)  the  Sale  or  other  disposition  at one  time  of all or

             (iv) the election to dissolve the Production Partnership (a) by the

                                      -38-
<PAGE>




             (v) ninety days after the Removal or withdrawal (unless the Limited
       Partnership  Consents  to a  Successor  pursuant  to Section  6.2) of the
       Managing Partner;

             (vi) the  happening of any other event causing the  dissolution  of
       the Production  Partnership under the laws of the State,  except that the
       Incapacity  of any Partner  (other than the Managing  Partner)  shall not
       dissolve the  Production  Partnership  and the seizure of the Interest of
       any Partner shall not dissolve the Production Partnership.

       B.  Dissolution of the Production  Partnership  shall be effective on the
day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Production
Partnership shall not terminate until the Managing Partner has recorded a notice
of  dissolution  of the  Production  Partnership  in the  proper  records of any
jurisdiction  in which this  Agreement has been recorded and shall have complied
with the laws of the  states  in which it does  business  and the  assets of the
Production Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.

       C. Nothing  contained in this Agreement  shall impair,  restrict or limit
the rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State of Oklahoma or
any other jurisdiction in which the Production  Partnership is doing business to
reform  and  reconstitute   themselves  as  a  general   partnership   following
dissolution of the Production  Partnership either under provisions  identical to
those set forth herein or under any other provisions.

       Section 8.2.  Liquidation  of the Production  Partnership;  Liquidation
of a Partner's Interest

       A. Upon dissolution of the Production Partnership,  its liabilities shall
be  paid in the  order  provided  herein.  The  Managing  Partner  shall  either
distribute in kind or sell the  Production  Partnership's  property so that such
disposition  is in the best  interests  of the  Limited  Partnership,  and shall
execute all amendments  terminating  the Production  Partnership.  In connection
with any such Sale, the Managing Partner shall attempt to obtain the best prices
for such property. Pending such Sales, the Managing Partner shall have the right
to  continue  to  operate  and  otherwise  to deal with  Production  Partnership
property. In the event the Production Partnership is dissolved on account of the
Incapacity or Removal of the Managing Partner, the Production  Partnership shall
elect,  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of Article  Eleven,  a person (the
"Liquidating   Agent")  to  perform  the  function  of  a  Managing  Partner  in
liquidating the assets of the Production Partnership and winding up its affairs,
and  shall  pay to such  Liquidating  Agent  its  reasonable  fees and  expenses
incurred in connection therewith.  In the event of a distribution in kind of any
Production Partnership Property (including a Producing Property), each Partner's
Capital  Account  shall  first be  credited  or  debited  with its  share of the
unrealized  appreciation  of  depreciation  in the  fair  market  value  of such
Production  Partnership  Property.  Each  Partner's  share  of  said  unrealized
appreciation or depreciation shall



                                      -39-
<PAGE>



be equivalent to its share  (allocated  pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4) of the
gain or loss on an actual  Sale of such  Production  Partnership  Property.  The
Capital  Account of each  Partner to whom a Production  Partnership  Property is
distributed  shall  be  debited  with the fair  market  value of the  Production
Partnership  Property  distributed to it. The Capital Account of each Partner to
whom a Producing  Property or an interest in a Producing Property is distributed
shall  be  debited  with  the  fair  market  value  of  the  Producing  Property
distributed  to it. Any  liquidation of the  Production  Partnership  shall take
place out of court and without  application being made therefor to the Secretary
of State of the State of Oklahoma.

       B. In settling accounts after  dissolution,  the assets of the Production
Partnership  shall  be paid  out in the  following  order:  (i) to  third  party
creditors,  in the order or priority as  provided by law;  (ii) to the  Managing
Partner and any Liquidating Agent for any expenses of the Production Partnership
paid by or payable  to them to the extent  they are  entitled  to  reimbursement
therefor  pursuant to this  Agreement;  (iii) to the Limited  Partnership in the
amount  equivalent to the amount of its positive  Capital  Account  balances (as
adjusted  pursuant  to Section  8.2A) on the date of  distribution;  (iv) to the
Managing Partner in the amount  equivalent to the amount of its positive Capital
Account  balances  (as  adjusted  pursuant  to  Section  8.2A)  on the  date  of
distribution; and (v) the balance shall be paid to the Partners in proportion to
and to the extent of the positive balances in the Partners' Capital Accounts.

       C. If the Managing  Partner has a deficit  balance in its Capital Account
following the distribution(s)  provided for in Section 8.2B above, as determined
after taking into account all adjustments to its Capital Account for the taxable
year of the Production  Partnership during which such distribution(s)  occur, it
shall restore the amount of such deficit  balance to the Production  Partnership
within 90 days and such amount  shall be  distributed  to the other  Partners in
accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.

       D. Upon the liquidation or partial  liquidation of the Managing Partner's
Interest  pursuant to Article  Six  hereof,  any  distribution  to the  Managing
Partner  shall be made pro rata to such  Partner in  accordance  with and to the
extent of its positive  Capital  Account  balance  after the  Partners'  Capital
Accounts are  adjusted as if all of the  Production  Partnership's  property had
been sold at its fair market value  immediately  prior to such  distribution and
the gain or loss  realized on such Sale  charged or  credited  to the  Partners'
Capital  Accounts in  accordance  with the  provisions  of Article  Five hereof,
provided,  however,  that if such  Partner has a deficit  balance in its Capital
Account  following such  distribution  (or adjustment of such Partner's  Capital
Account pursuant to this Section 8.2D), such Partner shall restore the amount of
such deficit  balance to the  Production  Partnership by the later of the end of
the  Production  Partnership  taxable  year in  which  the  liquidation  of such
Partner's Interest occurs or 90 days after the date of such liquidation.

       Section 12.4.  Separability of Provisions

       If for any  reason  any  provision  or  provisions  hereof  which are not
material to the  purposes or business of the  Production  Partnership  or of the

or  appropriate  to carry out the  provisions  or  purposes  of this  Agreement,
including  without  limitation:  (i)  all  certificates  and  other  instruments
(including counterparts of this Agreement), and any amendment thereof, including
any  amendment   substituting  a  Partner,   that  the  Managing  Partner  deems
appropriate to form, reform,  qualify or continue the Production Partnership (or
a new  partnership  with  substantially  the same  provisions as the  Production
Partnership)  as a  partnership  in the  jurisdiction  in which  the  Production
Partnership  may conduct  business;  (ii) all amendments  and other  instruments

necessary  to  reflect  any  additional  Capital  Contributions);  and  (iv) all
conveyances and other  instruments that the Managing Partner deem appropriate to
reflect the dissolution and termination of the Production Partnership.

       B. The  appointment by all Partners of the Managing  Partner as agent and
attorney-in-fact  shall be deemed  irrevocable and to be a power coupled with an
interest,  in  recognition  of the fact that  each of the  Partners  under  this
Agreement  will be  relying  upon the power of the  Managing  Partner  to act as
contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by it on behalf of
the  Production  Partnership,  and shall  survive the  Incapacity  of any Person
hereby  giving such power and the transfer or  assignment  of all or any part of
the  Interest  of such  person;  provided,  however,  that in the  event  of the
transfer by a Partner of all of its Interest,  the foregoing  powers of attorney
of the  transferor  Partner  shall survive such transfer only until such time as
the  transferee  shall have been  admitted to the  Production  Partnership  as a
Substituted  Partner and all required  documents and instruments shall have been
duly executed, filed and recorded to effect such substitution.
