       "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
economic  and  operating  conditions.  Proved  reserves  are  limited  to  those
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.

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 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



                                      -21-
<PAGE>



      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,
      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;



                                      -22-
<PAGE>




            (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 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



                                      -23-
<PAGE>



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;

            (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;



                                      -24-
<PAGE>




            (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 l0.lA, 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:

             (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



                                      -25-
<PAGE>




                   (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.

       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



                                      -26-
<PAGE>



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
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;



                                      -27-
<PAGE>



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.



                                      -28-
<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 and 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%

                   (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  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.



                                      -31-

             (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  6l2A(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 extent such loss or
       deduction  has  previously  been  reflected  in its  Capital  Account  by
       adjustments thereto) and expenditures described in section 705(a) (2) (B)
       of the Code.



                                      -32-
<PAGE>




             (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 5.31 hereto,  such Partner's  Capital Account shall
      be reduced by:



                                      -33-
<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.

       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) 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.

       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



                                      -35-
<PAGE>



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.

       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



                                      -36-
<PAGE>



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
             Producing   Properties   is  also  sold  or   disposed   of  for  a
             proportionately equivalent consideration;

       (3)   ensure  that  the  Limited   Partnership's  share  of  General  and
             Administrative  Costs  does  not  increase  as  a  result  of  such
             withdrawal; and

       (4)   indemnify the Limited  Partnership  against any expenses  resulting
             from such withdrawal.

       Section 6.2.  Removal of the Managing Partner

       The power  shall be vested in the  Limited  Partnership  to remove at any
time the Managing Partner.  The power shall be vested in the Limited Partnership

             (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

       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

       prior to  withdrawal  or  Removal,  less  the  portion  purchased  by the
       successor Managing Partner or the Production Partnership.

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.

       Section  7.1.    Transferability of Limited Partnership's Interest.

       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

exchange,  transfer or assignment  would not violate the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or any state securities or "blue sky" laws.

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

       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

             (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

       any Partner shall not dissolve the Production Partnership.

       B.  Dissolution of the Production  Partnership  shall be effective on the

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

       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  be  equivalent  to its  share  (allocated
pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4) of the


                                      -41-
<PAGE>


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.
