Haring, have executed an additional Assignment and Conveyance, dated as of June 1, 1956, as amended and supplemented by a Supplemental Assignment and Conveyance, dated as of June 1, 1956, andother instruments of transfer in favor of the Trustee covering said 10/75ths interest not yet included in the trust estate, which Assignment and Conveyance, as amended and supplemented, and other instruments of transfer have been delivered toRepublic National Bank of Dallas, as Depositary (hereinafter referred to as the `Depositary’), to be held temporarily by said Depositary and subsequently to be delivered pursuant to the terms of a certain Depositary Agreement, a copy of which,exclusive of signatures and acknowledgments, is annexed hereto as Exhibit C and by reference made a part hereof, as supplemented and amended by a certain Supplemental Depositary Agreement, designated as Part B of an Agreement dated as ofJune 1, 1956, between the Depositary, Grantors and others, which agreement is by reference made a part hereof. The property, property rights and interests covered by said Assignment and Conveyance, as supplemented and amended by theSupplemental Assignment and Conveyance, are hereinafter sometimes called `the escrowed properties,’ and the separate items of property included therein are sometimes referred as having been `placed in escrow’. The execution and delivery ofthe Depositary Agreement, as amended and supplemented, and the execution and delivery of the Assignments and Conveyances, as so amended and supplemented, and other instruments of transfer constituting the `Deposited Property’, as defined in theDepositary Agreement, as amended and supplemented, are irrevocable, and each Grantor, upon the acceptance of the considerations and benefits of this Indenture, is precluded from rescission or revocation of the Depositary Agreement, as amended andsupplemented, and the conveyances delivered in connection therewith. 

SECTION 2. If and when the above-styled suit has been finallydetermined and all other suits and adverse claims pending at the time of determination of said suit, if any, have been likewise determined, and all judgments entered against any of the Grantors as a result of any of such suits have been satisfied insuch a manner as to permit inclusion of all of the escrowed properties in the trust estate in the manner provided in said Depositary Agreement, as amended, the Assignment and Conveyance to the Trustee, as amended and supplemented by the SupplementalAssignment and Conveyance dated as of June 1, 1956, and the other instruments of transfer deposited with the Depositary shall be delivered by the Depositary to the Trustee concurrently with the delivery by the Depositary to Marine PetroleumCorporation of certain other instruments also deposited in escrow, all as provided in the Depositary Agreement, as amended and supplemented, and the property, property rights and interests covered by this said Assignment and Conveyance to theTrustee, as so amended and supplemented, shall thereafter be and become a part of the trust estate.

SECTION 3. If and when the above-styled suit has been finally determined and all other suits and adverseclaims pending at the time of determination of said suit, if any, have been likewise determined and all judgments entered against any of the Grantors as a result of the above-styled suit or any other such suits have been satisfied in such manner asto prevent inclusion of all of the escrowed properties in the trust estate, a portion of the escrowed properties may, nevertheless, within one year from the final determination of the last of such suits to be determined, be assigned and conveyed tothe Trustee and included in the trust estate, if all the following terms, conditions and limitations are satisfied: 

(a)Any Grantor or any group of the Grantors, their heirs or personal representatives, may at any time and from time to time during said one-year period, execute and deliver to the Trustee an assignment andconveyance of a portion of the escrowed properties, provided that such assignment and conveyance or assignments and conveyances in each instance cover an interest in each separate item of property comprising the escrowed properties, and providedfurther that all of the other conditions of this Section 3 are satisfied; 

 
Page 17 

(b) to the extent that the quantum of interest (number of units, number offractional interests, or number of shares, as the case may be) of any such separate item of property to be transferred to the Trustee under this Section 3 is less than the quantum of interest of such item of property originally placed inescrow, then the quantum of interest (number of units, number of fractional interests, or number of shares, as the case may be) of each other separate item of property included in the assignment and conveyance to the Trustee shall be proportionatelyreduced so that the quantum of interest (number of units, number of fractional interests, or number of shares, as the case may be) of every separate item of property shall bear the same ratio to each of the other items of property as the quantum ofinterest of each of the separate items of property originally placed in escrow bore to each other. For example, 60,316 shares of beneficial interest in Tidelands Royalty Trust “B” have been originally placed in escrow; accordingly, if30,158 of such shares are included in the assignment and conveyance contemplated in this Section, being 1/2 of the number of such shares originally placed in escrow and being 50% of the quantum of interest in such item of property originally placedin escrow, 50% of the quantum of interest placed in escrow of each other item of property may be included in such assignment and conveyance, viz., an undivided 2.4864876 interest in the overriding royalty interest conveyed to Marine InstrumentCompany and others by the Atlantic Refining Company and others, an undivided 2.4864876 interest in and to all of the rights, privileges and benefits under the Atlantic Agreement, 29,166 units in Tidelands Agency Agreement “A”, an undivided5% interest in and to all the rights, privileges and benefits under each of the Gulf Agreements, 50,000/1,000,000ths fractional interests in each of the Temporary Indentures, an undivided 5/75ths of the interest of TEMPORARY TRUSTEE in each of theTemporary Indentures, an undivided 5/75ths interest in and to all the rights, privileges and benefits under the Supplemental Gulf Agreement, an undivided 5/75ths interest in and to all of the rights, privileges and benefits under the Texas GulfAgreement and 30,158 shares of beneficial interest in Tidelands Royalty Trust “B”; upon acceptance by the Trustee of an assignment and conveyance covering such properties in the amounts stated in this example, the Trustee shall issue tosuch persons, firms or organizations as the persons executing such assignment and conveyance may in writing direct, Certificates for an aggregate of 133,333 units of interest; it being the purpose of this subsection (b) and of the essence inmaking provision herein for the transfer of a portion of the escrowed properties to the Trustee, that the interest in the trust estate of a Certificate holder at or prior to such assignment and conveyance shall not be diluted but that following suchassignment and conveyance each such Certificate holder shall thereafter own the same proportionate interest in each of the separate items of property constituting the trust estate as he owned prior to such assignment and conveyance; 

(c) concurrently with delivery to the Trustee of such assignment and conveyance or assignment and conveyances the partiesexecuting the same shall execute and deliver to Marine Petroleum Corporation, a Texas corporation, an assignment and conveyance in substantially the same form as the assignment and conveyance to the Trustee, covering a like quantum of interest inand to (i) each of the Gulf Agreements, (ii) each of the Temporary Indentures, (iii) the Supplemental Gulf Agreement, and (iv) the Texas Gulf Agreement, respectively, insofar, but only insofar, as said property, property rightsand interests pertain to or affect lands within the State of Louisiana and the lands which would be within the area of the State of Louisiana if its boundaries were extended seaward to the outer margin of the outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf ofMexico, term “outer Continental Shelf” herein having the meaning contained as of the date hereof in Section 2(a) of the United States Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the ‘LouisianaLands’), such assignment and conveyance to Marine Petroleum Corporation heretofore defined in substantially the same manner as such reservation is expressed in the Assignment and Conveyance to said Corporation, dated as of June 1, 1956,delivered to the Corporation concurrently herewith.

The opinion of counsel, however, may be made subject to the same kind of exceptions, reservations and comments that are contained in the opinion of counsel delivered to theTrustee upon execution and delivery of the Indenture. 

(e) upon acceptance by the Trustee of any such assignment andconveyance, accompanied by the opinion described in sub-paragraph (d), Trustee shall issue to such persons, firms or organizations (including the Trustee acting in any representative or fiduciary capacity) asthe persons executing such assignment and conveyance may in writing direct, Certificates for an aggregate number of units of interest (less than 266,667) which is in the same ratio in the quantum of interest of each of the separate items of propertyincluded in said assignment and conveyance as 266,667 bore to the quantum of interest of each of the separate items of property originally placed in escrow, that is to say, the aggregate number of units of interest to be issued under this subsection(e) shall be proportionately reduced from 266,667 to the same extent that is provided in subsection (b) of this Section for reducing the quantum of interest of each separate item of property originally placed in escrow;

SECTION 4. If and when the above-styled suit has been finallydetermined in the manner provided in Section 2 of this ARTICLE XI to permit inclusion of all the escrowed properties in the trust estate, but nevertheless, because of breach of contract, failure of title, or any other cause, Depositary fails orrefuses or is not authorized to deliver the Assignments and Conveyances deposited to the Trustee and <PAGE>    51 Marine Petroleum Corporation, then any GRANTOR or group of GRANTORS may, within one year from the finaldetermination of such suit, assign and convey to the Trustee a portion of the escrowed properties upon the terms, conditions and limitations provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE XI.
