EXHIBIT 10.74

                               FUEL GAS AGREEMENT

This Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered this 12th day of December, 1996
by and between Marathon Oil Company, an Ohio corporation ("Marathon"), and
Forcenergy Inc ("Forcenergy"), a Delaware corporation. In consideration of the
mutual promises contained herein, benefits to be derived by each party hereunder
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Marathon and Forcenergy hereby agree as follows:

                                 I. Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the terms listed below shall have the meanings
set forth by each:

A. "Fuel Gas" means all natural gas consumed as compressor fuel, generator fuel,
flared gas, shrinkage, gas lift gas, gas lift make-up volumes, and lost and
unaccounted-for volumes in support of the production and gathering of fluids
produced from the Trading Bay Unit, Cook Inlet, Alaska (TBU) and the Trading Bay
Field, Cook Inlet, Alaska (TBF), as well as gas used for the injection of water
for the recovery of oil at the TBU and the TBF. Fuel Gas includes both volumes
of natural gas measured and volumes of natural gas allocated pursuant to the
terms of Attachment "A" to that certain Agreement re: Fuel Gas entered into on
November 27, 1996 by and between Union Oil Company of California ("Unocal") and
Marathon.

B. "Fuel Gas Wells" means those wells on the Dolly Varden, Grayling and King
Salmon platforms that are owned by the TBU oil Working Interest Participating
Areas ("WIPA's") and that have been completed in the Grayling Gas Sands (GGS)
reservoir for the purpose of supplying Fuel

<page>

Gas for the TBU oil operations. As of the date hereof, the Fuel Gas Wells are
Wells D10, D18, G14, G18, K5, and K20.

C. "Initial Fuel Gas" means 20 BCF of Fuel Gas that Marathon has agreed to
supply to Forcenergy pursuant to Section 12(e) of that certain Purchase and
Sales Agreement of even date herewith between Marathon and Forcenergy (the "P &
S Agreement") for the consideration provided therein.

D. "Supplemental Fuel Gas" means the additional 20 BCF of Fuel Gas that Marathon
has agreed to provide by exchange with Forcenergy pursuant to Section 12(e) of
the P & S Agreement.

E. "Purchased Fuel Gas" means Fuel Gas that Forcenergy purchases from Marathon
under the terms of this Agreement.

                     II. Terms Specific to Initial Fuel Gas

A. Between October 1, 1996, and December 1, 2009, Marathon will, for the
consideration recited in the P & S Agreement and at no additional cost to
Forcenergy, provide up to 20 BCF of Initial Fuel Gas from the Fuel Gas Wells to
Forcenergy.

B. Forcenergy, as a TBU oil WIPA owner, shall bear all field-level costs
associated with the Fuel Gas Wells.

C. If, at any time prior to December 1, 1999, the total daily production from
the Fuel Gas Wells is insufficient to meet Forcenergy's daily Initial Fuel Gas
requirements, Marathon shall supply the additional Initial Fuel Gas from the
Steelhead Platform.

D. (1) Thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter,
Forcenergy shall

                                        2

<page>

nominate the total daily rates and monthly volumes of Initial Fuel Gas to be
delivered from each Fuel Gas Well during such calendar quarter. The nomination
shall include (a) the maximum efficient rate of flow for each Fuel Gas Well (b)
the daily rates and monthly volumes of gas that Forcenergy wishes to utilize at
each TBU and TBF facility listed on Exhibit B, and (c) the daily rates and
monthly volumes of Initial Fuel Gas that Forcenergy wishes to receive at each
Delivery Point listed in Exhibit A, including, when applicable, the daily rates
and monthly volumes to be delivered from the Steelhead Platform pursuant to
Paragraph II.C.

(2) Within 15 days of receipt of each nomination from Forcenergy pursuant to
Paragraph II.D. hereof, Marathon will submit to Forcenergy a written
confirmation of the Delivery Points that Marathon intends to utilize for
delivering Initial Fuel Gas during the period addressed by the nomination.
Marathon's confirmation will include the daily rates and monthly volumes of
Initial Fuel Gas that Marathon will deliver to each Delivery Point. The Delivery
Points that Marathon elects to utilize will be determined at Marathon's sole
discretion; provided, however, that, the Delivery Points selected must enable
delivery of sufficient volumes of Initial Fuel Gas to meet Forcenergy's
nominated requirements. The Marathon Delivery Points are listed on Exhibit A.
Additional Delivery Points may be added by mutual agreement of the parties.

(3) Marathon will deliver Initial Fuel Gas at such daily rates as Forcenergy
reasonably requests up to the lesser of 12.5 MMCFD or Forcenergy's share of the
daily Fuel Gas Requirements. If any particular Fuel Gas Wells are incapable of
delivering the nominated volumes due to wellbore failure, mechanical problems
or, in Marathon's sole judgment, GGS

                                        3

<page>

     reservoir management considerations, deliveries of Initial Fuel Gas may be
     made from other Fuel Gas Wells.

E. The cumulative sum of the Initial Fuel Gas deliveries to Forcenergy shall not
exceed 20 BCF. Marathon's obligations to deliver Initial Fuel Gas shall expire
when Marathon has delivered 20 BCF, or December 1, 2009, whichever occurs first.

F. If Marathon delivers less than 20 BCF of Initial Fuel Gas to Forcenergy prior
to December 1, 2009, then Marathon shall pay to Forcenergy an amount calculated
by multiplying the difference between 20 BCF and the volume of Initial Fuel Gas
actually delivered by $1.00 per Mcf. The payment for undelivered Initial Fuel
Gas shall be made on or before January 31, 2010.

                  III. Terms Specific to Supplemental Fuel Gas

A. Beginning on the Closing Date for the TBU properties (as such date is defined
and determined under the P & S Agreement) (hereafter, "the Closing Date"),
Forcenergy shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver gas to
Marathon for exchange as Supplemental Fuel Gas. Forcenergy's deliveries of gas
pursuant to this Paragraph III.B. shall be made to Alaska Pipeline Company's
("APL") transmission system or to mutually agreeable points of delivery on
Marathon's pipeline system. This right shall expire when 20 BCF has been
delivered pursuant to this Article III or on December 1, 2009, whichever occurs
first.

B. Beginning on the Closing Date, Marathon shall have the obligation to deliver
to Forcenergy, at one or more of the delivery points designated on Exhibit A, or
at some other mutually agreeable delivery point, a volume of Supplemental Fuel
Gas equal to the volume of natural gas that Forcenergy

                                        4

<page>

delivers to Marathon pursuant to Paragraph III.A. of this Agreement. All
Supplemental Fuel Gas will be delivered from the Fuel Gas Wells, and none of
such gas will be made available from gas produced at the Steelhead Platform;
provided, however, that Marathon need not deliver gas from Fuel Gas Wells to the
extent that prudent reservoir management would dictate that deliveries be
curtailed to less than the volumes nominated, in which case the volumes of gas
to be delivered by Forcenergy in exchange shall also be reduced.

C. Thirty (30) days prior to the first day of each calendar quarter, Forcenergy
shall give Marathon written nomination of (1) the daily rates and monthly
volumes of natural gas that Forcenergy intends to deliver to Marathon at each
Forcenergy delivery point pursuant to Paragraph III.A. of this Agreement for the
forthcoming calender quarter, (2) the maximum efficient rate of flow for each
Fuel Gas Well, (3 ) the daily rates and monthly volumes of Supplemental Fuel Gas
that Forcenergy wishes to receive pursuant to Paragraph III.B. from Marathon at
each TBU and TBF facility listed on Exhibit B for the forthcoming calender
quarter, and (4 ) the daily rates and monthly volumes that Forcenergy wishes to
receive at each Delivery Point listed in Exhibit A for the forthcoming quarter.
The daily rates and monthly volumes nominated pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be equal. Forcenergy's total daily and monthly nominations for natural gas
it expects to deliver to Marathon pursuant to Paragraph III.A. hereof must equal
the total daily and monthly nominations for Supplemental Fuel Gas it wishes to
receive pursuant to Paragraph III.B. hereof.

D. Within 15 days of receipt of each nomination from Forcenergy pursuant to
Paragraph III.C. hereof, Marathon will submit to Forcenergy a written
confirmation of the Delivery Points that Marathon intends to utilize for
delivering Supplemental Fuel Gas pursuant to Paragraph III.B. hereof. Marathon's
confirmation will include the daily rates and monthly volumes of Supplemental
Fuel Gas

                                        5

<page>

that Marathon will deliver to each Delivery Point. The Delivery Points that
Marathon elects to utilize will be determined at Marathon's sole discretion;
provided, however, that, subject to the proviso at the end of Paragraph III.B.,
the Delivery Points selected must enable delivery of sufficient volumes of
Supplemental Fuel Gas to meet Forcenergy's nominated requirements. The Marathon
Delivery Points are listed on Exhibit A. Additional Delivery Points may be added
by mutual agreement of the parties.

E. Subject to Paragraph III.G. below, Marathon will deliver Supplemental Fuel
Gas at such daily rates as Forcenergy reasonably requests. If any particular
Fuel Gas Wells are incapable of delivering the nominated volumes due to wellbore
failure, mechanical problems or, in Marathon's sole judgment, GGS reservoir
management considerations, deliveries of Supplemental Fuel Gas may be made from
other Fuel Gas Wells.

F. Forcenergy and Marathon shall make every effort to deliver equal daily
volumes of natural gas (pursuant to Paragraph III.A.) and Supplemental Fuel Gas
(pursuant to Paragraph III.B.). If, however, in any month, the volume of natural
gas delivered by one party is not equal to the volume delivered by the other
party, then the parties shall adjust deliveries in the following month so as to
bring deliveries back into balance. If, due to Forcenergy's actions or
inactions, the daily or monthly exchange imbalance exceeds 10% of the volumes
nominated pursuant to Paragraph III.C. of this Agreement, Marathon may suspend
all exchanges hereunder until such time as Forcenergy provides assurances
adequate to Marathon that future imbalances will not exceed more than 5% on any
day.

G. The daily volumes of gas delivered by Forcenergy pursuant to Paragraph III.A.
and the daily volumes of Supplemental Fuel Gas delivered by Marathon shall not
exceed the lesser of 12.5 MMCFD or Forcenergy's share of the daily Fuel Gas
requirements.

                                        6

<page>

H. There will be no fee associated with the exchange of gas pursuant to this
Article III.

I. Each party shall bear all costs of royalties, severance taxes, and production
costs attributable to gas it delivers pursuant to this Article III.

J. Forcenergy shall pay, at its sole cost, for any pipelines and pipeline
connections, including compression costs, if required, to enter the APL
transmission system or Marathon's pipeline system.

K. Natural gas delivered by Forcenergy pursuant to Paragraph III.A. hereof shall
meet the quality, pressure and temperature specifications of the pipeline system
through which the gas is first transported. Forcenergy will bear all costs
associated with meeting such pipeline specifications.

L. Forcenergy shall pay, at its sole cost, for all costs of transportation
(including regulated tariff charges, pipeline compression costs and fuel,
liquids separation and disposal and any allocated line losses) of its gas
delivered hereunder to Marathon at the APL transmission system or on Marathon's
pipeline system. Marathon shall pay, at its sole cost, for all costs of
transportation (including regulated tariff charges, pipeline compression costs
and fuel, liquids separation and disposal and any allocated line losses) of gas
received from Forcenergy in exchange for Supplemental Fuel Gas after delivery by
Forcenergy into the APL transmission system and/or Marathon's pipeline system.
The intent is that Marathon shall not incur any costs hereunder for exchanging
gas.

                    IV. Terms Specific to Purchased Fuel Gas

A. Forcenergy has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 10 BCF of
Fuel Gas from Marathon at rates not to exceed 12.5 MMCFD. The right granted in
this Paragraph IV.A. shall expire on December 1, 2009.

                                        7

<page>

B. The price of Purchased Fuel Gas, on any day, is equal to the highest price
received (including all applicable reimbursements) on the date of purchase for
gas sold by Marathon to a public utility in the Cook Inlet area pursuant to a
contract with a primary term of three (3) or more years and a total volume of
not less than ten (10) BCF. Marathon shall supply to Forcenergy such
documentation as is necessary for Forcenergy to calculate the price
independently, including a copy of the contract with the public utility.

C. The nominations and confirmation procedures for Purchased Fuel Gas are the
same as those specified for Supplemental Fuel Gas in Paragraphs III.C. and III.
D.

D. Marathon may refuse to sell Purchased Fuel Gas if it lacks adequate
deliverability and/or reserves to honor all other gas contract obligations at
the time of any request from Forcenergy for Purchased Fuel Gas. In particular,
and not by way of limitation, if it is at any time determined that Marathon's
Available Gas Reserves are insufficient to permit it to make deliveries of
Purchased Fuel Gas under this agreement and to meet its obligations to Alaska
Pipeline Company under the Gas Purchase Agreement dated May 1, 1988 ("APL-IV"),
gas deliveries of Purchased Fuel Gas may be reduced or terminated by Marathon in
its sole discretion. "Available Gas Reserves" has the same meaning given that
term in APL-IV.

         V.                    Terms Common to Initial Fuel Gas, Supplemental
                               Fuel Gas, and Purchased Fuel Gas

A. All Fuel Gas shall be used for Forcenergy's TBU/TBF Fuel Gas requirements
only. Forcenergy may not sell or re-deliver Fuel Gas to any other party or use
Fuel Gas for facilities other than those specifically listed in Exhibit B, nor
shall Forcenergy sell or utilize casinghead gas which

                                        8

<page>

it produces from the TBF and the TBU other than as Fuel Gas.

B. Each MCF of natural gas delivered hereunder shall be measured at a base
temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure of fourteen and
sixty-five hundredths (14.65) pounds per square inch absolute.

C. All Fuel Gas provided by Marathon to Forcenergy hereunder shall be from
Marathon's working interest share of GGS reserves.

D. If the Hemlock WIPA owners desire to drill, convert, work over or recomplete
any Fuel Gas Well, Forcenergy must obtain Marathon's written consent before
voting in favor of any such proposal. Marathon reserves all rights to make any
and all decisions regarding production and withdrawal rates, completion
intervals, and reservoir management decisions with respect to the Fuel Gas
Wells.

E. If, by reason of force majeure, either party is rendered unable, wholly or in
part, to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its
obligations to pay money), then upon said party giving notice and particulars of
such event, its obligation to perform shall be suspended or correspondingly
reduced during the continuance of any inability so caused, but in no greater
amount than required by the event of force majeure and for no longer period, and
the effects of such cause shall, so far as possible, be remedied with all
reasonable and prompt dispatch. The term "force majeure" as employed herein
means any situation or occurrence not reasonably within the control of the party
claiming suspension and which, by the exercise of due diligence, such party is
unable to prevent or overcome. Settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor
disputes shall be entirely within the discretion of the party having the
difficulty and the above requirements that any force majeure event be remedied
with all reasonable diligence shall not require the settlement or prevention of

                                        9

<page>

strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes by acceding to the demand of opposing
parties which such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of the party
having the difficulty.

F. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. Forcenergy shall not
assign this Agreement or any interest herein to a third party without the
written consent of Marathon, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
Marathon may assign its interest to a third party to whom Marathon assigns its
interests in the GGS WIPA upon thirty days prior notice to Forcenergy. No
assignment shall be effective until the assignee shall in writing agree to
assume and perform fully the terms of this Agreement whereupon the assignor
shall be released from further liability.

G. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF ALASKA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD
DIRECT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. Any action brought
to enforce the provisions of this Agreement shall be brought only in a court of
competent jurisdiction in Anchorage, Alaska.

H. This Agreement and the P & S Agreement constitute the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings,
negotiations and discussions regarding the subject matter hereof. No amendments
to or modifications of this Agreement shall be valid unless they are in writing
and signed by both Forcenergy and Marathon.

                                       10

EXHIBIT 10.75

                      AGREEMENT REGARDING THROUGHPUT CHARGE
                              (MEDEMA FAMILY TRUST)

         This Agreement Regarding Throughput Charge ("Agreement) is made this
9th day of December, 1999, effective June 1, 1997 by and between 1) Forcenergy
Inc ("Force"), 2) SPC LLC ("SPC"), for itself and as successor to Stewart
Petroleum Company, the debtor-in-possession in Case No. A96-00795-DMD in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska, and 3) the Medema
Family Trust ("MFT").

                                    RECITALS

         A. MFT and Stewart Petroleum Company ("Stewart") have entered into the
following Agreements:

                  a. Letter agreement dated February 11, 1994;

                  b.       Security Agreement dated March 30, 1992;

                  c.       Letter agreement dated July 1, 1994; and

                  d.       Financing statements sled on April 15, 1992 and April
                           21, 1993, including continuation statements filed on
                           December 31, 1996 and April 21, 1998, State of
                           Alaska, Department of Natural Resources Statewide
                           filings.

The above Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the "Throughput
Agreements." The Throughput Agreements pertain to a petroleum and natural gas
pipeline (the "Pipeline") constructed to transfer petroleum and natural gas from
reserves underlying leases described as ADL-359131 and ADL-359112 (the "Leases")
which are subject to the West McArthur River Unit (the "Unit") as situated in
the Anchorage Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska.
Pursuant to the Throughput Agreements, MFT acquired an interest in all volumes
of

<page>

hydrocarbons transported via the Pipeline, for the life of the Pipeline,
including therein all revenue or value realized from transportation of
hydrocarbons through the Pipeline, which interest was to be paid by SPC to MFT
(the "Throughput Charge") according to the July 1, 1994 letter agreement.

         B. On September 13, 1996 an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed
against Stewart in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska
(the "Bankruptcy Court"). The petition initiated Case No. A96-00795-DMD, the
"Bankruptcy Case." On January 24, 1997, an order for relief under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code was entered in the Bankruptcy Case.

         C. On May 6, 1997, Stewart entered into a purchase and sale agreement
("P/S Agreement") with Force pursuant to which Stewart was to sell and Force was
to purchase all or substantially all of the assets of Stewart according to the
terms and conditions set forth in the P/S Agreement. The Pipeline is one of the
assets Force acquired under the P/S Agreement which further required Force to
assume Stewart's obligations to pay the Throughput Charge subject to Force's
review of the Throughput Agreements.

         D. On May 12, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the
sale of Stewart's assets to Force pursuant to the P/S Agreement, but providing,
however, that such sale was not free and clear of the interests, claims, and
liens, of; inter cilia, RIFT insofar as such interest, claims, and liens relate
to Throughput Charges accruing from and after January 1, 1997.

                                        2

<page>

         E. On June 5, 1997 SPC closed the sale of substantially all of its
assets to Force. As of that date Stewart held, through its managing agent, the
sum of $100,595 representing throughput fees otherwise due MFT for the period
September 1, 1996 through June 5, 1997. It was agreed between Stewart and Force
that Force, in exchange for consideration from Stewart, would release any claim
it had to throughput collected by Stewart on or after January 1, 1997 and before
June 5, 1997. MET subsequently reached agreement with SPC on distribution of the
funds held by the managing agent.

         F. Beginning effective June 5, 1997, Force has been paying to MFT on a
monthly basis Throughput Charges for hydrocarbons carried through the Pipeline
in conformity with the provisions of the Throughput Agreements.

         G. A liquidating Plan of Reorganization was approved in the Bankruptcy
Case. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, SPC LLC has succeeded to
the rights and interests of Stewart with respect to all interests of Stewart
that may be the subject of this Agreement.

         H. MFT and SPC have negotiated and resolved certain disputes regarding
MFT's interest in the Throughput Charges. The agreement was approved by order
entered in the Bankruptcy Case on October 27, 1998. Under that Agreement, MFT
retains its interest in the Throughput Charges accruing on and after June 5,
1997, subject only to a subrogation claim of SPC, more specifically described
below.

         I. SPC and MFT each agree and consent to the transfer to Force of all
rights held by Stewart and its successor SPC in the Throughput Agreements and
the assumption by

                                        3

<page>

Force of all obligations arising thereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.

         WHEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants exchanged below,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

                                    COVENANTS

         1. Pursuant to applicable law and under the terms and conditions stated
in this Agreement, SPC, for itself and as successor to Stewart, hereby assigns
to Force all its right, title, interest, obligations, and liabilities, if any,
under the Throughput Agreements. This assignment shall be deemed effective June
5, 1997.

         2. MFT accepts partial cure and consents to assignment, amendment,
restatement, and replacement of Throughput Agreements as specified in this
Agreement. In consideration of same and the promises made in this Agreement, MFT
consents to the assignment by SPC of the Throughput Agreements to Force under
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. MFT's acceptance of this
partial cure from SPC does not constitute a waiver or withdrawal of MFT's
allowed claims against the SPC arising from Throughput Charges or throughput
guarantees owed to MFT and allowed as claims under Class 6 pursuant to the
confirmed Plan of Reorganization. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, neither the prior defaults by SPC under the Throughput Agreements
nor the failure of SPC to make payments specified herein shall affect in any way
the rights of Force as an assignee of SPC under the Throughput Agreements, and
Force shall not be liable to MFT for any obligations or

                                        4

<page>

liabilities of SPC under the Throughput Agreements except for the period from
and after June 5, 1997, and then only to the extent provided for herein.

         3. Force shall pay the Throughput Charge to MFT on all volumes,
including erode oil, condensate and associated and non-associated gas,
transported through the Pipeline from and after June 5, 1997, for the life of
the Pipeline as follows: A) on oil and condensate, ten (10) cents per barrel
until 10 million barrels of oil and condensate shall have been transported
through the Pipeline from inception of its operations and thereafter five (5)
cents per barrel, and B) on associated and non-associated gas, four (4) cents
per MCF. It is specifically agreed that Force shall pay the Throughput Charge on
all volumes transported by the Pipeline, regardless of origin or ownership of
said volumes.

         4. Dedication of Reserves Underlying the Leases. Force hereby dedicates
for transporting through the Pipeline, subject to the Throughput Charge, and
herewith agrees to transport through the Pipeline when produced, and to pay to
MFT the Throughput Charge due thereon, all cruder oil, condensate, and
associated and non-associated gas severed from the lands covered by the Leases,
excepting from such dedication and agreement to transport only such reserves, if
any, which are produced from wells drilled from offshore platform locations.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation to pay the
Throughput Charge shall remain in effect even if the Leases are incorporated
into a larger operating unit whose production is transported through another
pipeline, provided that there is reasonable allocation between production from
the Leases and production from the larger production unit overall. The
Throughput Charge shall apply only to production which has been reasonably
allocated to the

Leases. Force is authorized to determine the allocation, provided it acts in a
reasonable and equitable manner. Except as stated in this paragraph, Force shall
not be obligated to dedicate any other reserves for transportation through the
Pipeline, or to transport through the Pipeline any production from any lease,
field or reservoir, but if production from any such non-dedicated reserves is
transported through the Pipeline, Force is obligated to pay the Throughput
Charge due thereon in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

         5. Preservation and Limitation of MFT's Interest. The interests created
by the Throughput Agreements, including any liens and security interests, are
hereby ratified and confirmed by Force and the same remain in full force and
effect except that all such interests, including any liens and security
interests, may be used by MFT to enforce only those obligations incurred by
Force on or after June 5, 1997 pursuant to the Throughput Agreements. The liens
and security interests retained by MFT pursuant to this Agreement shall
expressly include any and all rights of Force to collect from third parties,
whether by cash, offset, or any other value, charges for transportation of oil,
gas or other hydrocarbons through the Pipeline,

         6. Assignment. In the event that Force conveys or assigns all of its
interest in the Lease and the Pipeline, it shall have the right to assign all,
but not less than all, of its interest in and duties under the Throughput
Agreements and this Agreement to the same assignee to which it assigns its
interest in the Leases and the Pipeline, provided that such assignee expressly
assumes all duties and obligations to MFT under the Throughput Agreements and
this Agreement, and provided MFT gives its prior written consent to such
assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon Force's
assignment of its interest in and duties under the

                                        6

Throughput Agreements and this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph of this
Agreement, and provided further that there is no default then existing under the
Throughput Agreements and this Agreement, Force shall be released from all
liability under the Throughput Agreements and this Agreement.

         7. Warranties. MFT hereby represents and warrants to Force that (A) no
one claims an interest in or through the Throughput Agreements and this
Agreement except for subrogation claims by SPC, (B) except as stated in (A), the
Throughput Agreements are the only agreements between MFT and SPC related to the
matters described therein, (C) MFT has good and valid title under the Throughput
Agreements to a Throughput Charge of at least ten (10) cents per barrel of oil
and condensate transported through the Pipeline (subject only to subrogation
rights of SPC), and of at least four (4) cents per MCF on associated and non-
associated gas transported through the Pipeline, and (D) James D. Medema and
Millie M. Medema are the co-trustees of MFT and as such are duly authorized to
execute this Agreement on behalf of MFT. Force hereby represents and warrants to
MFT that Force has acquired SPC's title to the Pipeline and that it has good
right and authority to enter into this Agreement.

         8. Inapplicable Sections of Letter Agreement. MFT acknowledges that the
February 11, 1994 Letter Agreement is replaced in its entirely by the July 1,
1994 Letter Agreement, and that Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the July 1, 1994
Letter Agreement have no application to Force. Force does not assume and is not
liable for the obligations of SPC under such sections. However, Force agrees to
operate the Pipeline in compliance with all requirements arising under Federal,
State, and other applicable law and in compliance with public or private

                                        7

permits or agreements affecting operation of the Pipeline. MFT shall not be
obligated to pay, or be liable for, any expenses for repair or operation of the
Pipeline, any further construction costs for continued operation of the
Pipeline, or any costs to deactivate or remove the Pipeline.

         9. By agreement between MFT and SPC, SPC has acquired rights of
subrogation to MFT's right to receive payment with respect to throughput for
crude oil and condensate only (not for associated or non-associated gas). Under
these rights, SPC may in the future acquire the right to receive 50. per barrel
for every 100 per barrel payable to MFT. SPC agrees that its rights are solely
as subrogee and that SPC will be bound by this agreement to the same extent as
MFT. Force shall continue to pay MFT until notified in writing by MFT and SPC
that SPC's right to receive 50 per barrel has been triggered and thereafter the
Throughput Charge for crude oil and condensate only shall be split evenly
between MFT and SPC until the Throughput Charge steps down to 50 per barrel at
which point the Throughput Charge shall be paid exclusively to MFT.

         10. Confidentiality. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement
shall be kept confidential, except that the terms hereof may be revealed by
either party in any proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction wherein a
matter pertaining to such party's interest in this Agreement is being
adjudicated. Nothing herein, however, shall bar MFT or SPC from filing or
recording this Agreement of Record in order to protect and/or preserve its
interests or rights herein.

         11. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced according to the law of Alaska. Sole venue for any lawsuit or
proceeding of any nature based

                                        8

Judicial District at Anchorage.

         12. Further Assurances. The parties pledge mutual good faith and
cooperation in taking any other or further acts, including the execution of
documents, instruments and court pleadings, which at any time appear reasonably
necessary for the other party to this Agreement to receive, perfect or preserve
a benefit intended by this Agreement for such party to receive.
