ROYALTIES  

Section 7.01    Running Royalty.  

        LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR a running royalty of [***] of NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS made by LICENSEE, its AFFILIATES and
sublicensees. 

Section 7.02    Minimum Royalty, United States.  

        Commencing with the first full calendar year after the BASE YEAR OF US REGULATORY APPROVAL, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR the following minimum royalties
applicable to sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the United States in the corresponding calendar year, against which LICENSEE shall receive a credit toward any amounts payable under Section 7.01
("Running Royalty") of this License Agreement for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the United States during that calendar year: 

	Year 1	 	[***]	 
	Year 2	 	[***]	 
	Years 3 and after	 	[***]	.

        The
minimum royalty amounts payable under this Section shall be paid not later than January 5 of the applicable calendar year, and such minimum amount will then be creditable
against actual royalties owed under Section 8.01 for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the United States during such calendar year, until such time as such credits have been entirely applied to
royalties owed. Thereafter, any further royalties owed shall be paid by LICENSEE pursuant to Sections 8.08-8.12. 

Section 7.03    Minimum Royalty, Foreign.  

        Commencing with the first full calendar year after the BASE YEAR OF FOREIGN REGULATORY APPROVAL, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR the following minimum royalties

	Year 1	 	[***]	 
	Year 2	 	[***]	 
	Years 3 and after	 	[***]	.

        The
minimum royalty amounts payable under this Section shall be paid not later than January 5 of the applicable calendar year, and such minimum amount will then be creditable
against actual royalties owed under Section 8.01 for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS in countries other than the United States during such calendar year, until such time as such credits have been
entirely applied to royalties owed. Thereafter, any further royalties owed shall be paid by LICENSEE pursuant to Sections 8.08 - 8.12. 

Section 7.04    Reduction of Minimum Royalty.  

        To the extent that LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN on LICENSED PRODUCTS is less than [***] in the United States or in the consolidated
International (Foreign) operations for any calendar year, the minimum royalties due under Section 8.02 ("Minimum Royalty, United States") or Section 7.03 ("Minimum Royalty, Foreign"),
respectively, will be proportionally reduced for that calendar year. (As an example, if LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN in the United States for Year 2 is only [***], the
minimum royalty due under Section 7.02 ("Minimum Royalty, United States") will be reduced to approximately [***] (i.e., [***])). Ten years after
the Effective Date of this License Agreement, the provisions under this Section 7.04 ("Reduction of Minimum Royalty") shall automatically terminate and be without further effect. 

Section 7.05    Failure to Pay Minimum Royalties.  

        Should LICENSEE fail to pay the required minimum royalties due to LICENSOR under Section 8.02 ("Minimum Royalty, United States") or Section 7.03
("Minimum Royalty, Foreign"), for any reason other than expressly provided under Section 7.04 ("Reduction of Minimum Royalty"), the terms of this License Agreement shall be altered as provided
under Article XIII ("Termination; Forfeiture of Exclusivity"). 

Section 7.06    Enhanced Running Royalty.  

        In addition to the running royalty payable to LICENSOR pursuant to Section 7.01 ("Running Royalty"), LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR a running royalty of
[***] of LICENSEE'S (or its AFFILIATE'S or sublicensee's) NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the United States, or in countries other than the United States (collectively,
"Foreign Countries") respectively, for any calendar year in which NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS in the United States or Foreign Countries, respectively, is at least [***]
higher than total NET SALES in the year prior to the BASE YEAR of US REGULATORY APPROVAL or in the year prior to the BASE YEAR OF FOREIGN REGULATORY APPROVAL, as applicable. 

Section 7.07    Over-ride Royalty.  

        In addition to any royalty amounts owed to LICENSOR under Sections 8.01 and 8.06, LICENSEE shall pay to LICENSOR an over-ride royalty in the event
that LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN in the LICENSED TERRITORY during a particular calendar year exceeds [***]. The over-ride royalty, if owed under this Section,
will be equal to [***], in cash equivalent, of the portion of LICENSEE's gross profit for the applicable calendar year that the LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN is in excess of
[***]. 

4

 

Section 7.08    Reports, Records and Royalty Payments.  

        LICENSEE shall submit to LICENSOR on a quarterly basis (commencing with the quarter in which the first sale of LICENSED PRODUCTS occurs) a written report which
specifies the NET SALES for said quarter made by LICENSEE. This report and any related payments shall be submitted within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. 

Section 7.09    Currency.  

        All payments referred to in this License Agreement shall be in United States dollars. 

Section 7.10    Late Charges.  

        Any late payments under this License Agreement shall incur late charges at a rate equal to the PRIME RATE, plus [***], from the date the
payment was due until actually paid, and such charges shall be paid by LICENSEE along with payment originally owed. 

Section. 7.11    Foreign Sales.  

        The remittance of royalties payable on sales outside the United States shall be payable to LICENSOR in United States Dollar equivalents at the official rate of
exchange of the currency of the country from which the royalties are payable, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the calendar quarter in which the royalties are payable.
If the transfer of or the conversion in the United
States Dollar equivalents of any such remittance in any such instance is not lawful or possible, the payment of such part of the royalties as is necessary shall be made by the deposit thereof, in the
currency of the country where the sale was made on which the royalty was based, to the credit and account of LICENSOR or its nominee in any commercial bank or trust company of LICENSOR's choice
located in that country, and prompt written notice of which shall be given by LICENSEE to LICENSOR. 

Section 7.12    Foreign Taxes.  

	(a)
	Any
withholding tax required to be withheld by LICENSEE under the laws of any foreign country for the account of 

        LICENSOR
based on payments owed to LICENSOR under this License Agreement shall be promptly paid by LICENSEE for and on behalf of LICENSOR to the appropriate governmental authority, and
LICENSEE shall furnish LICENSOR with proof of payment of such tax together with official or other appropriate evidence issued by the applicable governmental authority. Any such required tax actually
paid on LICENSOR's behalf shall be deducted from the royalty payment due LICENSOR. 

Section 7.13            Product Prices.  

        LICENSEE shall have the sole discretion to set pricing for sales of all LICENSED PRODUCTS. However, if LICENSEE elects to sell any of the LICENSED PRODUCTS at
less than a commercially reasonable sales price (e.g., as a "loss leader"), then the royalties owed to LICENSOR under this Article 8 shall be paid based on the commercially reasonable sales
price, rather than on the lower actual reduced price. 

Section 7.14    Sales to AFFILIATES.  

        In order to assure LICENSOR the full royalty payments contemplated in this License Agreement, LICENSEE agrees that in the event any LICENSED PRODUCT is sold for
purposes of resale to an 

5

 

AFFILIATE (including but not limited to a subsidiary) of LICENSEE, then the royalties to be paid in respect to such LICENSED PRODUCT will be computed on NET SALES of the resale. 

Section 7.15    Books and Records.  

        LICENSEE agrees to keep proper records and books of account in accordance with good accounting practices, showing the sales upon which the royalty payments of
LICENSEE are based, all records and information for the calculation of NET SALES and GROSS PROFIT MARGIN, and all other information necessary to permit LICENSOR to verify the accuracy of payments made
and to be made hereunder. 

Section 7.16    Audit Rights.  

        On reasonable written notice, LICENSOR, at its own expense, shall have the right to have an independent certified public accountant inspect and audit the books
and records of LICENSEE during usual business hours for the sole purpose of determining the correctness of payments due under this License Agreement. Such examination with respect to any fiscal year
shall not take place later than 10 years following the expiration of such period. Any amounts showed to be owing to LICENSOR under such audit shall be paid by LICENSEE within thirty days of
completion of such audit, plus late charges calculated under Section 8.10. The expense of any such audit shall be borne by LICENSOR; provided, however, that, if the audit discloses an error in
excess of 5% in favor of LICENSOR, then LICENSEE shall pay the cost to LICENSOR of the audit. 

ARTICLE VIII

6

 

regulatory approvals; provided, however, that LICENSOR shall have access and rights of reference to such information for (i) purposes of use in products other than the LICENSED PRODUCTS; and
(ii) for all internal research purposes. In the event of any early termination of this Agreement for reasons other than an uncured material breach by LICENSOR, rights to regulatory filings,
data and approvals for the LICENSED PRODUCTS will automatically be assigned to and vested in LICENSOR, and LICENSEE shall execute and deliver any and all appropriate documents to evidence and perfect
such rights in LICENSOR. LICENSEE shall regularly disclose to LICENSOR all data and information relating to the clinical study data, regulatory filings and regulatory approvals relating to LICENSED

TRANSFER PRICE  

Section 9.01    General.  

        It is the parties' objective that LICENSOR's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN and LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN will each be at least [***]. It is
also the parties expectation that LICENSOR, or LICENSOR's subcontractors will be an original equipment supplier of LICENSEE's commercial needs for LICENSED PRODUCTS or specific components thereof.
Accordingly, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith and enter into, at least one year prior to the first expected regulatory approval of a LICENSED PRODUCT, a Supply Agreement setting forth the
terms for LICENSOR'S supply to LICENSEE of its requirements of such product or product component, which agreement shall be on terms commercially reasonable and typical in the industry, and shall
include a "transfer price" for the sale of such product or component. In the situation where LICENSOR is supplying a component which is incorporated in a product finished by LICENSEE, which would be
considered a LICENSED PRODUCT, the "transfer price" plus royalties payable under Article VII ("Royalties") shall be set on an annual basis to satisfy or come closest to satisfying all of these
stated objectives, subject to Section 9.02 below. 

Section 9.02    Failure to Meet Objectives.  

        The Supply Agreement shall include provisions that adjust the "transfer price" for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS or components in the event that LICENSOR's GROSS
PROFIT MARGIN or LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN (based on such sales and sales of the final LICENSED PRODUCTS) of LICENSOR or LICENSEE is less than the objective of [***] for
any particular year, as provided in Section 9.01 ("General"). Such adjustment shall be made by the parties retroactively adjusting the transfer price for that year for the applicable product or
component such that the LICENSOR's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN and the LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN are the same. If within thirty (30) days after determining the LICENSOR's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN and
LICENSEE's GROSS PROFIT MARGIN for a particular year, the parties are unable to agree on a transfer price that will accomplish the objectives of Section 9.01 ("General") or this
Section 9.02, they shall resolve the issue by submitting it to the Center for Public Resources or similar entity for
resolution by an expert with at least 15 years experience in the medical device industry. Under no circumstances, however, will LICENSOR be required to supply LICENSED PRODUCTS or components at
a loss, exclusive of royalties received by LICENSOR. 

ARTICLE X

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS  

Section 10.01    Patent Prosecution and Maintenance.  

        LICENSOR shall have full control over prosecution and maintenance of the PATENTS. [***] costs of such prosecution and maintenance
    [***]; provided, however, that in the event any of such costs are [***]. LICENSOR shall deliver to LICENSEE copies of all patent
applications, amendments, material related correspondence, and other material related matters for all LICENSOR PATENTS within a reasonable period of time after such items are received by or reported
to LICENSOR. 

8

 

LICENSOR shall take into consideration any comments or suggestions made by LICENSEE with respect to such prosecution and maintenance, but final decisions shall reside with LICENSOR. 

        LICENSOR
shall file foreign patent applications in those countries reasonably requested by LICENSEE or such other countries as LICENSOR may deem necessary and desirable. If LICENSOR
elects not to file a patent application in a country in which LICENSEE has requested LICENSOR to file an application, within 120 days after such request or 30 days prior to the
expiration of the statutory deadline for filing, then LICENSEE shall be free to do so at its expense; provided, however, that (i) while LICENSEE shall be the sole owner of any such patent
applications filed by LICENSEE and any patents issuing thereon, such patent applications and patents shall be included within the definition of PATENTS hereunder, and any LICENSED PRODUCTS sold in
such countries shall be subject to the royalty obligations of this License Agreement and (ii) LICENSEE will keep LICENSOR advised of the status of such prosecution and maintenance by providing
LICENSOR with copies of all official communications with respect to such patent applications and patents, and LICENSEE shall take into consideration any comments or suggestions made by LICENSOR with
respect to such prosecution and maintenance. 

Section 10.02    Ownership of PATENTS.  

        Except as set forth in Section 10.01 ("Patent Prosecution and Maintenance") above and in Section 10.03 ("Ownership of IMPROVEMENTS") below, all
PATENTS shall be solely owned by LICENSOR, and
LICENSEE shall execute, or cause its employees to execute, any documents necessary to perfect LICENSOR's ownership rights therein. 

Section 10.03    Ownership of IMPROVEMENTS.  

        LICENSOR shall solely own all IMPROVEMENTS (including any PATENTS disclosing and claiming such IMPROVEMENTS) made by its employees as a result of the activities
contemplated by the R&D Plan or Clinical and Regulatory Plan. Where LICENSOR and LICENSEE employees are co-inventors of (in the case of PATENTS) or make an essential contribution to (in
the case of know-how) any IMPROVEMENTS, LICENSOR and LICENSEE shall co-own such IMPROVEMENTS and shall execute, or cause its employees to execute, any documents necessary to
perfect each party's ownership rights therein. Where all inventors or essential contributors are employed by LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall be the sole owner of the IMPROVEMENTS. 

Section 10.04    New Inventions.  

        In the event that LICENSOR develops a new technology, patented or otherwise, other than the RTI TECHNOLOGY covered by this License Agreement, and which new
technology will be offered to others for license, LICENSOR agrees to provide a [***] first look right on that new technology to LICENSEE so that LICENSEE can determine whether
to enter negotiations with LICENSOR for a license under the new technology. LICENSOR will not enter an agreement with a third party with respect to such new technology, provided that LICENSOR'S
obligations under this Section 11.04 shall not prevent LICENSOR from discussing such technology with third parties during any such [***] time period. LICENSEE's rights
under this Section 10.04 ("New Inventions") shall cease on the [***] of the Effective Date. 

Section 10.05    Third Party Infringement.  

        In the event LICENSEE or LICENSOR becomes aware of any actual or threatened infringement of the PATENTS with respect to the LICENSED PRODUCTS, that party shall
promptly notify the other and the parties shall discuss the most appropriate action to take. Both parties shall use their reasonable efforts in cooperating with each other to terminate such
infringement without litigation. 

9

 

        LICENSEE,
as exclusive licensee, shall have power to institute and prosecute at its own expense suits for infringement (past, current and future) of the PATENTS within the LICENSED
TERRITORY and the FIELD OF USE, and, if required by law, LICENSOR will join as a party plaintiff in such suits.
This power includes the power to recover all damages awarded in consequence of the infringement. All expenses in such suits brought by LICENSEE will be borne entirely by LICENSEE, and LICENSEE will
pay to LICENSOR [***] of any excess of recoveries, damages and awards over litigation expenses not previously reimbursed by the defendant or insurance in such suits. In this
event, LICENSOR shall cooperate with LICENSEE in the suit. 

        Within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of notification of infringement, if attempts to abate such infringement are unsuccessful, or if LICENSEE elects not to or fails
to institute or prosecute any suit to enjoin or recover damages from any infringer, then LICENSOR alone may, in its sole discretion and at its expense, initiate and conduct an infringement action and
keep any settlement or award which may be obtained. In this event, LICENSEE shall cooperate with LICENSOR in the suit. 

        LICENSEE
and LICENSOR agree that neither will settle any action commenced by it under this Section 11.05 in a manner that is materially prejudicial to any PATENT or to the other
party's interests under this License Agreement without the other party's prior written approval. 

        The
parties recognize that LICENSOR may also license some of the PATENTS to third parties for other than the FIELD OF USE licensed to LICENSEE under this License Agreement; and if that
does occur and there are infringement actions which affect both LICENSEE and said third party, then the parties agree that there will be cooperation between LICENSOR, LICENSEE and said third
party(ies) regarding the handling of the infringement claim and an equitable allocation of any settlement or award based upon the relative rights and contributions of LICENSOR, LICENSEE and the third
party(ies). 

Section 10.06    Third Party Claims.  

        In the event any LICENSED PRODUCT becomes the subject of a claim for patent or other proprietary right infringement anywhere in the world, the party with notice
of such claim shall promptly give notice to the other and meet to consider the claim and the appropriate course of action. LICENSEE shall have the exclusive right to conduct the defense of any such
suit brought against LICENSEE and/or LICENSOR, shall indemnify and defend LICENSOR against any liability based on such claim, and shall have the sole right and authority to settle any such suit;
provided that LICENSOR shall cooperate with LICENSEE, as reasonably requested by LICENSEE, in connection with the defense of such claim, at LICENSEE's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
to the extent that any such claim is directed at the validity or scope of a PATENT, then, with respect to such claim, LICENSOR shall have the right to conduct the defense of any such suit, and shall
have the sole right and authority to settle any such suit; provided that LICENSEE shall cooperate with LICENSOR, as reasonably requested by LICENSOR, in connection with the defense of such claim, at
LICENSOR's expense. 

Section 10.07    Marking.  

        LICENSEE agrees to mark and to cause any subcontractor or AFFILIATE to mark any LICENSED PRODUCTS (or their containers or labels) made, sold, or otherwise
disposed of by it or them with any notice of rights under the PATENTS necessary or desirable under applicable law to enable the PATENTS to be enforced to their full extent in any country where
LICENSED PRODUCTS are made, used or sold. 

10

   Section 10.08    Trademarks.  

        LICENSEE shall be responsible for the selection of the trademarks it uses in connection with the LICENSED PRODUCTS; provided, however, that the use of such
trademarks will be subject to the prior approval of LICENSOR, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. LICENSEE agrees not to select any trademarks which may cause confusion with any LICENSOR
trademarks or trademarks of any LICENSOR AFFILIATE. LICENSEE shall own and control the trademarks it selects for the LICENSED PRODUCTS. LICENSEE shall be responsible for registration and maintenance
of all such trademarks at LICENSEE's cost. 

Section 10.09    Marketing Materials.  

        In selecting trademarks, trade names or other product marking or descriptions, LICENSEE will endeavor to recognize [***] and give
appropriate credit to his inventions and contributions. This includes, at LICENSEE's discretion, naming all or some of the LICENSED PRODUCTS after [***]. 

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNITY  

Section 11.01    LICENSEE Indemnity.  

        LICENSEE hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LICENSOR and its AFFILIATES and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against any liability or expense arising from the promotion, marketing, use and sale of the LICENSED PRODUCT, including without limitation (i) any product liability or similar claim asserted by
any party as to the LICENSED PRODUCTS; (ii) any claims arising from the use of any PATENTS pursuant to this License Agreement which use infringes the issued valid patents of a third party;
(iii) any claims for death, personal injury or related property damage arising from the manufacture, sale, marketing, distribution or use of any LICENSED PRODUCT; and (iv) the material
breach by LICENSEE of its representations, warranties
or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not include any liability or expense directly attributable to defects related to the LICENSOR's (or LICENSOR's AFFILIATE's)
design or manufacturing of LICENSED PRODUCTS which LICENSOR (or LICENSOR's AFFILIATE's) elects to manufacture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such indemnity and defense obligation
shall apply to any product liability or other claims, including without limitation, personal injury, death or property damage, made by employees, subcontractors, or agents of LICENSEE, as well as by
any customer, patient, hospital, doctor, or member of the general public who buys or uses the LICENSED PRODUCTS. LICENSEE shall monitor customer complaints and will be responsible for corrections,
withdrawal or alert notices. 

Section 11.02    LICENSOR Indemnity.  

        LICENSOR hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LICENSEE and its AFFILIATES and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against any claims, actions, costs, damage, liability or expense arising from any defects in LICENSED PRODUCTS sold to LICENSEE based on LICENSOR'S design or manufacturing of LICENSED PRODUCTS which
LICENSOR (or LICENSOR's AFFILIATE) elects to manufacture; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not include any liability or expense directly attributable to changes to LICENSOR's, or
LICENSOR's AFFILIATES' specifications for the LICENSED PRODUCTS which are requested or specified by LICENSEE, or to modifications made to the LICENSED PRODUCT by LICENSEE after delivery by LICENSOR. 

11

 

Section 11.03    Insurance.  

        Each party shall purchase and maintain customary products liability insurance, at reasonable levels to be agreed upon from time to time, such that each party
bears responsibility for its own defects and negligence. Each party shall have the other named as an additional insured party on any such product liability insurance policies. 

Section 11.04    Third Party Manufacture.  

        In the event that LICENSOR elects not to manufacture the LICENSED PRODUCT, then LICENSOR and LICENSEE will jointly ensure that the party who conducts the
manufacturing process for such LICENSED PRODUCTS accepts responsibility for its own defects and negligence. 

Section 11.05    Cooperation.  

        In the event that either party seeks indemnification under Section 11.01 ("LICENSEE Indemnity") or Section 11.02 ("LICENSOR Indemnity"), it
(i) shall inform the other party of a claim as soon as reasonably practical after it receives notice of the claim; (ii) shall permit the other party to assume direction and control of
the defense of the claim (including the right to settle the claim); and (iii) shall cooperate as requested in the defense of the claim, subject to being reimbursed for its reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith. 

ARTICLE XII

FAILURE TO COMMERCIALIZE  

Section 12.01    Commercialization Failure.  

        In the event that LICENSEE has timely made all required payments under Article VI ("Progress Payments"), and the LICENSED PRODUCTS are not sufficiently
developed to commercialize (i.e., there is insufficient data on which to obtain regulatory approval to market the LICENSED PRODUCT for a BREAST RECONSTRUCTION INDICATION) at the date the last such
payment is made, the terms of this License Agreement shall be altered as provided in Section 13.02 ("Forfeiture upon Non-Commercialization"), and the following shall apply: 

        (a)  LICENSOR
shall not be required to fund or pursue further development of any LICENSED PRODUCTS, and LICENSEE shall not be required to make any further payments to
LICENSOR, 

        (b)  LICENSOR
may assign or grant exclusive license rights under the PATENTS to another party in the FIELD OF USE. 

Section 12.02    Reinstatement of Exclusive License.  

        If Commercialization Failure occurs as described in Section 12.01 ("Commercialization"), and consequently LICENSEE's rights under this License Agreement
are terminated, as provided in Section 13.02 ("Forfeiture upon Non-Commercialization") and subsequently LICENSOR expends additional development expenses and thereby commercializes
the LICENSED PRODUCT for use in the FIELD OF USE without granting an exclusive license with respect thereto to a third party, LICENSEE shall have an opportunity to reinstate LICENSEE'S exclusive
rights under the terms of this
License Agreement as to LICENSED PRODUCTS in the FIELD OF USE by paying to LICENSOR [***]. Such right of LICENSEE must be exercised, if at all, no later than
[***] after LICENSOR first commences sale of such LICENSED PRODUCT. For clarity, the foregoing right does not apply if LICENSOR has granted a third party exclusive rights as to
a LICENSED PRODUCT. 

12

 

ARTICLE XIII

TERMINATION;

FORFEITURE OF EXCLUSIVITY  

Section 13.01    Forfeiture Upon Non-Payment.  

        In the event that LICENSEE fails to meet any of the terms provided in Section 5.01 ("United States Milestone Payment"), Section 5.02 ("Foreign
Milestone Payment") or Section 7.05 ("Failure to Pay Minimum Royalties"), LICENSOR may, at its election and in its sole discretion, convert the rights granted to LICENSEE under this License
Agreement from an exclusive license in the relevant territory to a non-exclusive license in the countries of such territory in which LICENSEE is selling LICENSED PRODUCT as of the date
such payment is due, and terminate LICENSEE'S rights under this License Agreement in any country of such territory in which LICENSEE is not selling LICENSED PRODUCT as of the date such payment is due,
effective upon written notice to LICENSEE. If LICENSOR elects to exercise its rights under this Section 14.01, LICENSOR may thereafter on its own commercialize or license third parties to
commercialize LICENSED PRODUCTS in the affected countries and the rights to sublicense under Article IV ("Sublicenses"), and enforce the PATENTS under Section 10.05 ("Third Party
Infringement'), shall revert exclusively to LICENSOR. 

Section 13.02    Forfeiture upon Non-Commercialization.  

        If a Commercialization Failure (as described in Section 13.01) occurs, then effective on LICENSOR'S written notice to LICENSEE, the license rights granted
to LICENSEE under PATENTS within the LICENSED TERRITORY and within the FIELD OF USE shall terminate, and LICENSEE shall lose all rights under this License Agreement to develop and commercialize
LICENSED PRODUCTS. Upon such termination of the license, LICENSEE'S obligation to make any further Milestone Payments under Article V ("Milestone Payments"), and Royalties under
Article VII ("Royalties") shall terminate. 

Section 13.03    Termination Upon Default.  

	(i)
	LICENSOR
shall have the right to terminate LICENSEE's license rights with respect to the LICENSED PRODUCTS if:

	1)
	Within
the time periods agreed upon by the parties from time to time in the R&D Plan or Clinical and Regulatory Approval Plan, LICENSEE does not use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain regulatory approval for the LICENSE PRODUCTS.

	2)
	LICENSEE
fails to comply with the R&D Plan or the Clinical and Regulatory Approval Plan mutually agreed to at the commencement of such activities for the LICENSED PRODUCT, and said
failure is not cured by LICENSEE within 30 days after written notice of the failure is delivered to LICENSEE; or

	3)
	LICENSEE
is in material breach of any of its other obligations with respect to the LICENSED PRODUCT, and said breach is not cured within 30 days after written notice of the
breach is delivered to LICENSEE.

	(ii)
	Either
party shall have the right to terminate this License Agreement in its entirety (upon notice to the other party) in the event the other party is in material breach of any of
its obligations hereunder, including without limitation the failure of LICENSEE to make the payments specified in Article V ("Milestone Payments"), Article VI ("Progress Payments"), and
Article VII ("Royalties"). 

13

 

Section 13.04    Rights Upon Termination.  

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this License Agreement, upon any early termination of this License Agreement, in whole or in part, the following provisions
shall apply: 

	(i)
	all
license rights granted from LICENSOR to LICENSEE shall terminate;

	(ii)
	all
payments made by LICENSEE to LICENSOR shall be retained by LICENSOR and be non-refundable;

	(iii)
	all
LICENSOR stock issued to LICENSEE and all stock warrants granted to LICENSEE shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect;

	(iv)
	all
intellectual property rights belonging to each party shall be retained by that party, with neither party having any license rights to use the other party's intellectual property
rights;

	(v)
	any
regulatory approvals for LICENSED PRODUCTS shall be transferred as set forth in Section 8.04 ("Ownership of Data and Regulatory Approvals");

	(vi)
	all
claims for damages caused by any breach occurring prior to the termination shall survive and remain enforceable;

	(vii)
	except
as provided in Section 13.06 ("Work-in-Progress"), LICENSEE shall have no further right to use the methods of, make, use, sell, offer for sale
any LICENSED PRODUCTS or otherwise to use any PATENTS; and

	(viii)
	LICENSEE
shall promptly return to LICENSOR all samples, documents, information, and other materials which embody or disclose the RTI TECHNOLOGY or the PATENTS. 

Section 13.05    Survivability.  

        Any such termination under this Article XIII ("Termination; Forfeiture of Exclusivity") shall not relieve either party from any obligations accrued to the
date of such termination. The parties' obligations which have applicability after the termination shall survive the termination of this License Agreement, such as those applicable obligations in
Section 10.02 ("Ownership of PATENTS"), Section 10.03 ("Ownership of Improvements"), Article XI ("Indemnity"), Article XV ("Representations & Warranties; Liability
Limitation"), Article XVI ("Equity Purchase Option"), Article XVIII ("Confidentiality"), and Section 19.02 ("Arbitration"). 

Section 13.06    Work-in-Progress.  

        Upon any such early termination of the license granted hereunder in accordance with this License Agreement, but provided that LICENSEE (or its AFFILIATE or
sublicensee) has already commenced commercial sale of a LICENSED PRODUCT, LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES or sublicensee shall be entitled to finish any actual work-in-progress
relating to LICENSED PRODUCTS and to sell any completed inventory of LICENSED PRODUCTS covered by such license, solely limited to inventory that remains on hand as of the date of the termination, so
long as LICENSEE pays to LICENSOR the royalties that would be owed under this License Agreement as to such sales and submits the required reports applicable to said subsequent sales in accordance with
the terms and conditions as set forth in this License Agreement, and provided that no such sales shall be permitted after the expiration of [***] after the date of termination. 

Section 13.07    Termination Not Exclusive Remedy.  

        The termination rights shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other remedies that may be available to LICENSOR in connection with default by
LICENSEE. Termination shall not relieve LICENSEE from liability and damages to LICENSOR for breach of this Agreement. Waiver by 

14

 

LICENSOR of a single default or a succession of defaults shall not deprive such party of any right to terminate this License Agreement arising by reason of any subsequent default. 

Section 13.08    Change of Control.  

        This License Agreement shall not be terminable due to a change of control, sale or merger of either LICENSOR, LICENSEE, or any of their respective AFFILIATES. 

ARTICLE XIV

ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS  

Section 14.01    Assignment.  

        Neither this License Agreement nor any rights granted hereunder may be assigned, transferred or sublicensed by either party except with the prior written consent
of the other party and as provided elsewhere in this License Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except to a party which acquires substantially all of the assets of the
assignor party, in which case consent of the other party is not necessary. Any such purported assignment which requires consent shall be void without consent. 

Section 14.02    Binding Upon Successors and Assigns.  

        Subject to the limitations on assignment herein, this License Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors in interest and assigns
of LICENSOR and LICENSEE. Any such successor or assignee of a party's interest shall expressly assume in writing the performance of all the terms and conditions of this License Agreement to be
performed by such party.

   ARTICLE XV

REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES;

LIABILITY LIMITATION  

Section 15.01    Both Parties' Representations and Warranties.  

        LICENSOR and LICENSEE each represents and warrants to the other that (i) it has the authority to enter into and perform this License Agreement; and
(ii) its execution, delivery and performance of this License Agreement will not conflict with the terms of any other agreement to which it is a party. LICENSOR and LICENSEE each covenant not to
enter into any agreement which will conflict with the terms of this License Agreement. 

Section 15.02    LICENSOR's Representations and Warranties.  

        LICENSOR represents, warrants and covenants to LICENSEE that: (i) as of the Effective Date, LICENSOR owns the PATENTS, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances, and has the right to grant the license rights to LICENSEE as contained in this License Agreement; (ii) during the term of this License Agreement, LICENSOR will use reasonable best
efforts not to encumber or diminish the license rights granted to LICENSEE hereunder; (iii) LICENSOR is not aware of any existing or threatened infringement action or claim of invalidity or
adverse ownership with respect to the subject matter of the RTI TECHNOLOGY or the PATENTS for use in conjunction with the LICENSED PRODUCTS or of any facts which indicate that any such action or claim
is likely to be instituted or asserted. LICENSEE understands, however, that the PATENTS involve technologies which have not been approved by any regulatory agency, and that LICENSOR cannot guarantee
the safety or usefulness of any LICENSED PRODUCT. 

Section 15.03    No Additional Warranties.  

        LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN Section 15.02 ("LICENSOR's Representations and Warranties") CONCERNING PATENTS COVERED BY THIS
LICENSE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LICENSOR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN Section 15.02
("LICENSOR's Representations and Warranties"), LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO THE VALIDITY OR SCOPE OF THE PATENTS, OR THAT ANY OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS WILL BE FREE FROM AN
INFRINGEMENT ON PATENTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR THAT NO THIRD PARTIES ARE IN ANY WAY INFRINGING THE PATENTS.

therewith.

CONFIDENTIALITY  

Section 18.01    Treatment of Confidential Information.  

        During the term of this License Agreement, and for a period of [***] after this License Agreement expires or terminates, a party receiving
Confidential Information of the other party will (i) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information to the same extent such party maintains its own proprietary information (but at a
minimum each party shall use reasonable efforts); (ii) not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent of the other party; and (iii) not use
such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this License Agreement. A party shall have no such obligation with respect to any portion of such Confidential Information of
the other party that: 

	(i)
	is
publicly disclosed by the disclosing party, or is otherwise publicly disclosed without the fault of the receiving party, either before or after it
becomes known to the receiving party; or 
	(ii)
	was
known to the receiving party prior to when it was received from the disclosing party; or

	(iii)
	is
subsequently disclosed to the receiving party in good faith by a third party who has a right to make such a disclosure; or

	(iv)
	has
been published by a third party as a matter of right; or

	(v)
	has
been independently developed by the receiving party without the aid, application or use of Confidential Information from the disclosing party. 

In
addition, notwithstanding the above obligations, a party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to the extent such disclosure is required by law or court order to be disclosed,
but then only to the limited extent of such legally required disclosure, and in the case of such requirement the party so compelled shall provide prompt notice to the other party of such requirement
and shall cooperate in any effort of such party to seek a protective order limiting the extent of such disclosure. 

Section 18.02    Publicity.  

        Any publication, news release or other public announcement or public disclosure (such as in a required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission)
relating to this License Agreement, including the Exhibits and any of its or their respective terms, or to the performance hereunder, shall first be reviewed and approved by both parties, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any disclosure which is required by law may be made without the prior consent of the other party, although the other party shall be
given prompt notice of any such legally required disclosure and an opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure reasonably in advance to the extent feasible. Further, the disclosing party shall
make diligent efforts to limit the nature and scope of any disclosure to the extent reasonably possible. Either party shall be entitled to disclose the substance of this License Agreement to its
shareholders, professional advisors and acquirers (and to prospective 

17

 

shareholders to whom its stock is offered for purchase or prospective acquirers) under the customary confidentiality terms. 

ARTICLE XIX

GENERAL PROVISIONS  

Section 19.01    Waiver.  

        The failure of a party to enforce any of its rights under this License Agreement or to object to action taken by the other party shall not constitute the waiver
of any rights hereunder. Any waiver by a party hereunder must be in writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver of any breach of this License Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach. 

Section 19.02    Arbitration.  

        Prior to engaging in any arbitration under this License Agreement, the Presidents of the parties shall engage in good faith negotiations in an attempt to resolve
the conflict. In the event that an agreement is not reached by the presidents within thirty (30) days of the date one party identifies the conflict to the other for resolution, such conflict or
dispute, (other than validity of the PATENTS or disputes under Section 10.02) shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration under the rules of JAMS/ Endispute in Los Angeles,
California. The parties will share the costs of the arbitration, and each party will bear its own expenses unless the arbitrator determines that a party has acted in bad faith. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties consent to jurisdiction in any federal or state court located in
California. 

Section 19.03    Notices.  

        All
notices shall be deemed complete on transmission by facsimile or telecopier or within three business days after the date of mailing if sent by mail or upon delivery by same day or

II.  COMMITMENT OF GAS AND OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE

     2.1 COMMITTED GAS. During the term of this Agreement, Producer agrees to
sell to Dynegy and Dynegy agrees to purchase from Producer under the terms of
this Agreement all Committed Gas. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Producer's obligation to sell one hundred percent (100%) of the
Committed Gas and Dynegy's obligation to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of
the Committed Gas made available by Producer are firm obligations. Committed Gas
is defined as all gas produced in the lower-48 United States and owned or
controlled by CUSA and TEPI during the term of this Agreement, except gas that
is dedicated to a Pre-Effective Date Commitment as defined in Section 2.1.1, gas
dedicated to a Post-Effective Date Commitment as defined in Section 2.1.2, gas
reserved for Lease Use as defined in Section 2.1.4, gas from Small-Volume
Sources that CUSA or TEPI has elected to exclude from commitment hereunder as
provided in Section 2.1.5, gas produced from Excluded Sources as described in
Section 2.1.6, gas produced from acreage farmed out by CUSA or TEPI to a third
party as described in Section 2.1.7, Refinery Supply Gas as defined in Section
2.1.8., Emergency Internal Use Supply as defined in Section 2.1.9, and
Cogeneration Supply Gas released from this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1.10.
Committed Gas includes, without limitation, gas produced from wells in existence
on the Effective Date, wells drilled or recompleted subsequent to the Effective
Date and make up gas accruing to, and capable of being delivered by, Producer
after the Effective Date as a result of production or pipeline imbalances
regardless of whether the imbalances occurred before or after the Effective
Date. As to TNGI, Committed Gas shall mean all gas owned or controlled by TNGI,
if any, including gas produced by Four Star that TNGI has the right to market
under this Agreement, subject to the same reservations and exclusions as are
applicable under this Section 2.1 to gas produced by CUSA and TEPI. The Parties
acknowledge that TNGI's present marketing arrangements with Four Star are
subject to termination on short notice and that TNGI's commitment to sell Four
Star production under this Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the
termination of this Agreement, or (b) the termination of TGNI's marketing
arrangements with Four Star, as such arrangements may be revised or extended
from time to time.

          2.1.1 PRE-EFFECTIVE DATE COMMITMENT. Some of Producer's wells, oil,
gas and mineral leases, gas reserves, or producing properties, however
characterized, are subject to contractual arrangements with third parties as of
the Effective Date ("Pre-Effective Date Commitments"). In addition, certain TEPI
gas has historically been sold by TNGI under term marketing agreements with
third parties without a specific lease or acreage dedication. At the option of
TEPI or TNGI, such gas may continue to be marketed under such existing term
agreements until they expire. Such term agreements may also be renewed by TEPI
or TNGI, but only if Dynegy, after full disclosure, is unable or unwilling to
purchase the gas under the terms of this Agreement while providing certainty of
flow as favorable to TEPI as the existing third party terms. TEPI gas sold under
such existing or renewed term agreements shall also be considered to be gas
subject to a Pre-Effective Date Commitment for purposes of this Section. Gas
subject to a Pre-Effective Date Commitment shall become Committed Gas at such
time as the gas may be sold

                                        4
<Page>

and delivered to Dynegy as a result of termination or cancellation of the
Pre-Effective Date Commitment or other release of the gas from the
Pre-Effective Date Commitment.

          2.1.2 POST-EFFECTIVE DATE COMMITMENT. For purposes of this Agreement,
a Post-Effective Date Commitment is defined as an instance where (i) Producer
acquires well(s), oil, gas and mineral leases, gas reserves, or producing
properties however characterized ("Subsequently Acquired Properties") subsequent
to the Effective Date; and (ii) contractual arrangements in place at the time of
Producer's acquisition prohibit Producer from selling all or a portion of the
gas produced from the Subsequently Acquired Property to Dynegy under this
Agreement. Gas subject to a Post-Effective Date Commitment shall become
Committed Gas at such time as the gas may be sold and delivered to Dynegy as a
result of a termination or cancellation of the Post-Effective Date Commitment or
other release of the gas from the commitment. Producer agrees to exercise
reasonable efforts to terminate any Post-Effective Date Commitment at the
earliest opportunity in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
commitment if, in the reasonable judgment of Producer, such termination will not
result in adverse economic consequences to Producer.

          2.1.3 ADDITION OF NEW SOURCES OF COMMITTED GAS. In the event Producer
acquires or develops new sources of Committed Gas or enhances the productive
capability of existing Sources of Supply, Producer shall exercise reasonable
efforts to give Dynegy notice as soon as possible of the new sources and
increased production, including an estimate of the date of initial deliveries or
increased production of Committed Gas to Dynegy. In addition, Producer and
Dynegy will cooperate in the development of a joint strategy to provide for the
delivery to Dynegy of Committed Gas from a new Source of Supply.

          2.1.4 LEASE USE GAS. Producer retains the right to use gas produced
from wells in which Producer or an affiliate of Producer has an interest for
purposes of the operation of such wells, or the operation of other wells, in
quantities deemed necessary by Producer acting as a prudent operator. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Lease Use of gas includes, without limitation,
gas lift, pressure maintenance, enhanced recovery, equipment fuel, delivery to a
third party for purposes of clearing a positive joint venture partner imbalance
incurred by Producer, satisfying in-kind royalty obligations to the extent such
obligations require Producer to deliver royalty gas to a third party, and
delivery of gas to a third party in consideration of the delivery by that third
party to Producer of equivalent (although not always equal) quantities of gas at
a different location. Lease Use Gas utilized by Producer in connection with the
operation of a well located on the lease producing such Lease Use Gas, or a well
located on a different lease in instances where gathering or transportation
downstream of the applicable Delivery Point is not required to transport the
Lease Use Gas to the different lease, will not appear in an Availability Report,
as defined in Section 2.2 below. Lease Use Gas utilized by Producer in
connection with the operation of a well in which Producer or an affiliate of
Producer has an interest located on a lease other than the lease producing such
Lease Use Gas, and requiring gathering or transportation downstream of the
applicable Delivery Point, will: (i) not constitute Committed Gas but will
appear in an Availability Report as a separate category specifically designated
as Lease Use Gas; (ii) be purchased by Dynegy at the applicable FOM Commodity
Price, as defined in Section 4.1 below; (iii) be transported by Dynegy to the
location designated by Producer; and (iv) be resold to Producer or Producer's
affiliate at the same FOM Commodity Price, plus any incremental costs associated
with

                                        5
<Page>

transportation of such Lease Use Gas to the point designated by Producer. In
addition to the categories of Lease Use Gas described above in this Section
2.1.4, Producer and Dynegy acknowledge that Producer shall have the right
from time to time during the term of this Agreement to supply gas from a
Source of Supply to a third party for emergency use in the operation of a
well in which Producer has no interest. For purposes of this Section 2.1.4
such emergency use is intended to apply in an instance where a third party
requires an immediate short term (typically no more than seven days) supply
of gas for purposes of restoring or maintaining the productive capacity of a
well. Typically gathering or transportation downstream of the applicable
Delivery Point is not required to transport the emergency use gas to the
third party well; however the Parties acknowledge that such gathering or
transportation may be required in isolated instances, in which cases Producer
will pay the gathering or transportation charges. In the event Producer
determines to supply emergency use gas to a third party in accordance with
this Section 2.1.4, the applicable Availability Report will designate the
quantity of such emergency use gas as a separate entry and set forth the
estimated duration of Producer's delivery of the emergency use to the third
party. Should Dynegy conclude that Producer's delivery of emergency use gas
to a third party may have an adverse impact on Dynegy's ability to serve
Dynegy's markets, the Parties will confer in an attempt to mitigate any such
potential adverse impact. Nothing in this Section 2.1.4 shall authorize
Producer to deliver gas to a non-affiliated third party for purposes of
pressure maintenance or enhanced recovery. In addition, it is understood and
agreed that Producer may not utilize Lease Use Gas in cogeneration facilities
for which TNGI or its successor or assignee is acting as the fuels manager
(including, but not limited to, the facilities currently covered by the
California, Nevada and March Point Gas Supply and Service Agreements between
Dynegy and TNGI). Once gas has been designated as Committed Gas on an
Availability Report for any month, Producer shall not subsequently reduce the
quantity of Committed Gas designated for delivery in that month by declaring
any portion of such Committed Gas to be Lease Use Gas. For purposes of this
Section 2.1.4, the term "affiliate" shall have the same meaning as stated in
Section 2.1.8.

          2.1.5 SMALL-VOLUME SOURCES. Dynegy and Producer acknowledge that
Producer has interests in certain Sources of Supply, or at certain Supply
Points, where Producer's share of the gas production is so small that it may be
more efficient for Producer to sell such gas into a local market, to a local
service provider, to the operator of the wells or another working interest
partner, or otherwise. By delivering a notice ("Release Notice") to Dynegy, as
hereafter described, Producer may exclude from commitment under this Agreement
any Small-Volume Source (defined as a Source of Supply producing less than 2,000
MMBtu per day of gas, or an individual Supply Point producing less than 200
MMBtu per day of gas, in either case averaged over any three consecutive month
period occurring within six months prior to Producer's delivery of the Release
Notice). Any such Release Notices shall be in writing (which may include an
e-mail transmittal acknowledged by a responsive e-mail from Dynegy) and shall
include a description of the Small-Volume Source to be released, the production
details supporting the Small-Volume Source's qualification as such, and the
effective date of the release, which shall be not less than forty-five days
after delivery of the Release Notice to Dynegy. Upon not less than forty-five
days' prior written notice to Dynegy, Producer may also re-commit any
Small-Volume Source under this Agreement, in which case Producer's gas
production from that Small-Volume Source shall once again be considered
Committed Gas. Should Producer's share of the gas production from any
Small-Volume Source released under this Section subsequently rise to a level
materially exceeding

                                        6
<Page>

the 2,000 MMBtu or 200 MMBtu limits described above, then Producer, at its
next opportunity following termination of any conflicting contractual
commitment, shall make such gas available to Dynegy as Committed Gas under
this Agreement.

          2.1.6 EXCLUDED GAS. Producer's gas from the sources described on
Exhibit "B" to this Agreement (the "Excluded Sources") shall not be Committed
Gas subject to this Agreement and Producer shall not be obligated to sell gas
from such Excluded Sources to Dynegy, nor shall Dynegy be obligated to purchase
such gas from Producer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by either
Party, made not more frequently than once each six months, Dynegy and Producer
shall evaluate the Excluded Sources and determine whether or not the gas from
such Excluded Sources is suitable for treatment as Committed Gas subject to this
Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree on the treatment of any Excluded
Source, it shall remain an Excluded Source. Any agreement to treat gas from an
Excluded Source as Committed Gas under this Agreement shall be reduced to
writing between the Parties.

          2.1.7 FARMOUT ACREAGE. During the term of this Agreement Producer
shall be entitled to farmout to a third party undeveloped acreage covered by an
oil, gas and mineral lease or mineral fee interest held by Producer (including,
but not limited to, a non-producing horizon under a producing lease) in the
event Producer, acting as a prudent operator, determines that such a farmout is
in the best interests of Producer. In the event of such a farmout, Producer will
exercise reasonable efforts to (i) retain a call on gas produced from the
acreage subject to the farmout, provided that such a call does not diminish the
return to Producer when compared to the return in the absence of the call; or
(ii) minimize the period of time elapsing before Producer is entitled to take
and market its proportionate share of the gas produced from the farmout acreage.
Gas produced from farmout acreage shall not be Committed Gas under this
Agreement until such time that Producer is entitled to take and market such gas
and has elected to do so.

          2.1.8 REFINERY SUPPLY GAS. Gas that is produced by Producer and
delivered as Equity Gas to a refinery owned and operated by CUSA's downstream
division, Chevron Products Company ("CPDS"), or its successor, pursuant to the
Gas Supply and Service Agreements for the Pascagoula, Richmond, El Segundo, and
Salt Lake City refineries between Dynegy and CPDS, shall not be deemed to be
Committed Gas under this Agreement. Refinery Supply Gas shall, for convenience,
be included (without being specifically identified as such) in Producer's
Availability Reports pursuant to Section 2.2, and Dynegy, in accordance with its
contracts with the applicable facilities, shall then determine the appropriate
amount of such Refinery Supply Gas and deduct such amount from the total
quantities shown in such Availability Reports for all purposes under this
Agreement. Refinery Supply Gas will not be sold by Producer to Dynegy under this
Agreement, but shall be accounted for in accordance with the applicable Equity
Gas Memorandum of Understanding and the Gas Supply and Service Agreement under
which Dynegy supplies or manages gas for the refinery in which the gas is
utilized.

          2.1.9 EMERGENCY INTERNAL USE SUPPLY. Those cogeneration facilities
that Dynegy serves under the Gas Supply and Service Agreements - California
Fuels Management Support, Nevada Fuels Management Support, and March Point Fuels
Management Support, and any other cogeneration facilities in which ChevronTexaco
now or hereafter owns at least a fifty percent

                                        7
<Page>

(50%) interest, shall have the option to request that Producer's Gas be made
available when such facilities are in an emergency situation. For purposes of
the prior sentence, the term "emergency situation" shall be limited to those
circumstances where there is no other supply available and without such
Producer's Gas being made available, the facility would be required to
curtail or discontinue operations. Producer and Dynegy agree to cooperate to
the fullest extent possible to ensure that such emergency situations are
addressed and facility needs are met at the earliest possible time. Emergency
Internal Use Supply will not be sold by Producer to Dynegy under this
Agreement, but shall be accounted for in accordance with the applicable
Equity Gas Memorandum of Understanding and the Gas Supply and Service
Agreement, if any. Should Dynegy conclude that a request for Emergency
Internal Supply Gas may have an adverse impact on Dynegy's ability to serve
market commitments in place at the time Producer requests Emergency Internal
Use Supply, the Parties will confer to mitigate any such potential adverse
impact.

          2.1.10 COGENERATION SUPPLY GAS. If in the future and for reasons
beyond its control TNGI, or its successor or assign, is no longer acting as the
fuels manager for one or more of the cogeneration facilities currently covered
by the Gas Supply and Service Agreements - California Fuels Management Support,
Nevada Fuels Management Support, and March Point Fuels Management Support
between Dynegy and TNGI, Producer shall have a one-time option (as to each such
cogeneration facility) to elect to fulfill the gas requirements of such
cogeneration facility(ies) from gas otherwise committed under this Agreement.
Such right, and the resulting release of gas from commitment under this
Agreement, shall be limited to a daily quantity of gas equal to (a) the highest
average daily usage of the facility(ies) in question during any one of the six
months immediately preceding the end of TNGI's tenure as fuels manager, minus
(b) the average daily quantity of gas supplied from the San Juan Basin to the
facility(ies) in question during the same six-month period. The release rights
provided for herein shall be exercised only after at least 60 days' prior
written notice to Dynegy, and shall be effective on the first day of the next
month following the expiration of such 60 day period. Once gas otherwise
committed to this Agreement is so utilized, Producer may again deliver such gas
to Dynegy under this Agreement only upon mutual written agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Dynegy conclude that Producer's election
to release Committed Gas as provided in this Section 2.1.10 may have an adverse
impact on Dynegy's ability to serve market commitments in place at the time
Producer's notice requesting a release under this provision is delivered to
Dynegy, the Parties will confer to mitigate any such potential adverse impact.

          2.1.11 RESERVATIONS OF PRODUCER. Producer reserves the following
rights with respect to its interests in the oil and gas properties committed by
Producer to Dynegy under this Agreement:

     (a) To operate Producer's oil and gas properties as Producer in Producer's
sole discretion deems advisable, including the right, but never the obligation,
to drill new wells, to repair and rework old wells, renew or extend, in whole or
in part, any oil and gas lease covering any of the oil and gas properties, and
to abandon any well or surrender any such oil and gas lease, in whole or in
part, when no longer deemed by Producer to be capable of producing gas in paying
quantities under normal methods of operation.

                                        8
<Page>

     (b) To pool or unitize any of Producer's oil and gas properties with other
properties in the same field, and to alter any such pooling or units from time
to time, in which event Producer's interest in the unitized production shall be
Committed Gas for purposes of this Agreement.

     2.2 AVAILABILITY REPORTS. In each month during the term of this Agreement,
Producer shall submit to Dynegy an Availability Report (which may be submitted
in the form of separate documents for each Source of Supply or other mutually
agreeable unit) setting forth Producer's best estimate of the quantity of
Committed Gas that Producer will deliver to Dynegy from each Source of Supply
each day during the following month, stating separately the Producer Baseline
Quantity and Producer FOM Swing Gas (determined in accordance with Section 2.4
below) to be produced on that day. Where there is more than one Supply Point
associated with a Source of Supply, the quantity to be delivered at each Supply
Point within that Source of Supply will be listed separately. Except as provided
below in this Section 2.2, the Availability Report shall be delivered to Dynegy
no later than 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the tenth Business Day before the first
day of the month of delivery (the "Initial Availability Report"). The quantity
of Committed Gas set forth in the Availability Report in effect at 9:00 a.m.
Central Time on the fourth Business Day before the day nominations to the
applicable Transporter are due (the "FOM Availability Report") will be utilized
for purposes of determining the Producer Baseline Quantity and Producer FOM
Swing Gas. Producer shall exercise reasonable efforts to submit the Availability
Report applicable to a Source of Supply operated by a third party no later than
the tenth Business Day before the first day of the month of delivery, and shall,
in any event, submit the Availability Report as soon as possible. However, in
the event such an Availability Report is submitted later than 9:00 a.m. Central
Time on the fourth Business day before the day nominations to the applicable
Transporter are due, all of the Committed Gas set forth on the Availability
Report will be treated as Incremental Swing Gas.

          2.2.1 REVISION OF THE AVAILABILITY REPORT. Following submission of the
Initial Availability Report, Producer shall revise the Availability Report to
reflect changes to Producer's estimated quantities of Committed Gas to be
delivered. The revisions shall be delivered to Dynegy by 9:00 a.m. Central Time
on the day prior to the effective date of the revisions in order to permit
Dynegy to submit revised pipeline nominations and to make any market adjustments
that may be required. Availability Report revisions submitted and received, or
orally conveyed, by the foregoing deadline shall be accepted by Dynegy. Dynegy
shall have the right to determine whether to change its pipeline nominations
(either in response to Producer's revisions to the Availability Report or
otherwise); provided, however, that Dynegy shall make nomination changes that
are (a) specified by Producer as necessary to keep Producer in balance with its
partners in the affected Source(s) of Supply, or (b) needed to comply with OFOs
or other mandatory instructions from the Transporter.

          2.2.2 SHARING OF INFORMATION. In respect to instances where Producer
is a Delivery Point operator, and Committed Gas flows through that point, and
upon Producer's request, Dynegy will exercise reasonable efforts to provide
Producer with information required by Producer in its role as point operator,
including, without limitation, Dynegy's downstream transportation contract
number, the identity of the downstream shipper, and, in the event Dynegy
purchases gas flowing through that point from other suppliers, the quantity of
gas purchased from each such supplier. In addition, Producer shall provide
Dynegy gas flow data available to Producer from

                                        9
<Page>

Transporters or other sources. The Parties acknowledge that the purpose of
this Section 2.2.2 is not to require either Party to furnish information that
the other Party would otherwise be able to collect on its own, but rather to
obligate each Party to use reasonable efforts to furnish information not
readily accessible to the other Party.

          2.2.3 FORM OF AVAILABILITY REPORTS. Availability Reports shall be
submitted in a separate file by CUSA, and another separate file by TEPI and TNGI
combined. To the fullest extent possible, taking into account the information
systems capabilities of Producers and Dynegy, the Availability Reports will be
delivered via Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") in a format permitting the
downloading of data directly into Dynegy's systems. If the delivery of the
Availability Reports via EDI is not possible beginning on the Effective Date,
the Parties will strive to develop the systems required to implement the
electronic delivery of the Availability Reports, provided Producers and Dynegy
are in agreement in respect to the expenditure of funds required to develop the
systems. Producers and Dynegy will each have gas control personnel accessible
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Nothing in this Section 2.2.3, or in
Section 2.2.1 above, shall require Producer to deliver information via EDI if
such information can be delivered to Dynegy faster or more efficiently by
telephone followed by facsimile confirmation.

     2.3 RIGHT TO CONTROL PRODUCTION AND CURTAILMENT. Producer reserves the
right, acting as a prudent operator, to limit, curtail or shut-in production
(collectively referred to as "curtail or curtailment") of Committed Gas from any
well or wells if it determines that curtailment is warranted as a result of any
mechanical, engineering, legal, title, or other field or well condition.
Producer also reserves the right to curtail production of Committed Gas from any
well or wells if it concludes such action is warranted due to prevailing market
prices for natural gas. In the event Producer desires to curtail production of
Committed Gas, Producer shall give Dynegy written notice in the Availability
Report, of such action, no later than the tenth Business Day before the first
day of the month of delivery. Producer's notice shall set forth the quantity of
Committed Gas to be curtailed, the Source of Supply and Delivery Point(s)
affected and the estimated duration of the curtailment. In the absence of mutual
agreement to the contrary, Producer shall not for economic reasons curtail the
production of Committed Gas from any Source of Supply if the gas has been
designated in Producer's Initial Availability Report as available for delivery
to Dynegy. Producer shall be entitled to reduce the period of curtailment by
submitting a revised Availability Report in accordance with Section 2.2.1 above.

     2.4 DYNEGY FOM SWING GAS. Dynegy FOM Swing Gas for each Source of Supply
shall be determined by multiplying Producer's Baseline Quantity by either
Dynegy's elected entitled Swing Gas Percentage or by a higher requested Swing
Gas Percentage which has been approved by Producer, in accordance with the
following procedure.

          2.4.1 DYNEGY ENTITLED FOM SWING GAS. Dynegy shall be entitled to
designate up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Producer Baseline Quantity
delivered under this Agreement as Dynegy FOM Swing Gas on a Source of Supply by
Source of Supply basis (Dynegy's designation is referred to as "Dynegy's Swing
Percentage ").

                                       10
<Page>

          2.4.2 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DYNEGY FOM SWING GAS. For any election
period as described in Section 2.4.4 below, Dynegy shall be entitled to
request Producer's permission to designate quantities of Dynegy FOM Swing Gas
in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the estimated Producer Baseline
Quantity produced from a Source or Sources of Supply. Dynegy's request shall
be submitted along with the entitled Dynegy Swing Percentage designation.
Producer shall approve or deny each of Dynegy's requests for a Dynegy Swing
Percentage greater than fifteen percent (15%) no later than the tenth
Business Day prior to the first day of the month of implementation. During a
current election period either Party may request that an entitled or approved
Dynegy Swing Percentage for a particular Source of Supply be increased or
reduced for reasons of sustained or predicted Source of Supply production
reliability change. However, neither Party is obligated to approve a
requested change during a current election period.

          2.4.3 FORMAT OF DYNEGY'S SWING PERCENTAGE DESIGNATION OR REQUEST.
Dynegy shall provide its entitled Dynegy Swing Percentage election and any
request for additional Dynegy FOM Swing Gas in the form of a single spreadsheet
or table setting forth its percentage designation or requested percentage
designation on a Source of Supply by Source of Supply basis, along with such
notes and comments as necessary to fully explain its designation. Absent
agreement of the Parties to the contrary, Dynegy's Swing Percentage (whether an
entitled percentage or a higher approved percentage) will remain in effect for
an election period of no less than five full months or seven full months. The
five-month election period will run from November 1 through March 31, and the
seven-month election period will run from April 1 through October 31. Dynegy
will make its election for each election period no later than thirty days prior
to the first day of the new election period.

          2.4.4 MONTHLY DETERMINATION OF BASELOAD GAS, DYNEGY FOM SWING
GAS AND PRODUCER FOM SWING GAS. The Producer Baseline Quantity as reflected in
Producer's FOM Availability Report shall form the basis of the calculation of
the quantity of Baseload Gas and Dynegy FOM Swing Gas for the applicable month.
Producer's Baseline Quantity shall be multiplied by Dynegy's Swing Percentage,
resulting in the quantity of Dynegy FOM Swing Gas for each day of the applicable
month. The Baseload Gas for the applicable month shall be determined by
subtracting the Dynegy FOM Swing Gas quantity from Producer's Baseline Quantity.
If Producer's FOM Availability Report shows a quantity of Committed Gas to be
delivered on any day in excess of the Producer Baseline Quantity, the excess
shall be defined as Producer FOM Swing Gas for all purposes under this
Agreement. No later than 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the second Business Day prior
to the day on which nominations are due to the applicable Transporters, Dynegy
shall provide Producer a written report setting forth for each Source of Supply
the quantity of Baseload Gas, the quantity of Producer FOM Swing Gas, and the
quantity of Dynegy FOM Swing Gas scheduled for delivery at such Source of
Supply.

          2.4.5 MID-MONTH DECREASES. In the event Producer submits one or more
revised Availability Reports which have the effect of decreasing the quantity of
Committed Gas estimated to be delivered to Dynegy on any day at a given Source
of Supply to a level below the quantity of Committed Gas designated for delivery
by Producer on that day in Producer's FOM Availability Report, including
instances where Producer is required to decrease the quantity of Committed Gas
as a result of an event of force majeure or in response to a Transporter's
instructions or OFO, the

                                       11
<Page>

following adjustments in the quantities of Baseload Gas and Swing Gas
delivered under this Agreement shall be made:

          (a) A reduction in the quantity of Committed Gas estimated for
delivery from a Source of Supply on any given day shall first reduce the Swing
Gas quantity, if any, delivered from that Source of Supply until the quantity
reduction equals the Swing Gas quantity available at that Source of Supply.

          (b) In the event the reduction in quantity of Committed Gas estimated
for delivery from a Source of Supply for any day exceeds the quantity of Swing
Gas available at that Source of Supply, the excess shall be deemed Baseload
Shortfall. The daily Baseload Shortfall quantity shall be allocated
proportionately to the other Sources of Supply in the same Supply Pool with the
result that (i) the quantity of Swing Gas estimated for delivery from such other
Source of Supply in that Supply Pool shall be deemed to be reduced by a quantity
equal to the Baseload Shortfall allocated to that Source of Supply, and (ii) the
quantity of daily Baseload Gas estimated for delivery from such other Source of
Supply shall be deemed to have increased by a quantity equal to the Baseload
Shortfall allocated to that Source of Supply. The daily proportional allocation
of Baseload Shortfall among Sources of Supply in a Supply Pool will be based on
the following formula, which formula shall be applied to the deliveries
estimated for such day as reflected in the applicable Availability Report,
including any revised Availability Reports that may apply:

   DAILY ESTIMATED SOURCE OF SUPPLY SWING GAS
   ------------------------------------------         Total Supply Pool Baseload
   Daily estimated Supply Pool Swing Gas          X   Shortfall

A quantity of Swing Gas equal to the daily proportional allocation of Baseload
Shortfall to each Source of Supply will then be priced as provided in Section
4.1 at the FOM Commodity Price for Baseload Gas applicable to the Source of
Supply from which the gas is produced. If Baseload Shortfall is allocated to a
Source of Supply that is subject to split connect pricing pursuant to Section
4.4, the Baseload Shortfall so allocated shall be re-priced at the Selected FOM
Commodity Price applicable to that Source of Supply as described in Section 4.4.

          (c) If the quantity reduction applicable to one or more Sources of
Supply in a Supply Pool exceeds the Swing Gas applicable to that Supply Pool,
then the reduction of Swing Gas delivered from the Supply Pool and the
corresponding increase in the quantity of Baseload Gas in accordance with
subsection (b) above shall be limited to the Swing Gas applicable to that Supply
Pool. Sources of Supply included in the Supply Pools designated as "Other" shall
be exempt from the re-pricing provisions of this Section 2.4.5.

          2.4.6 MID-MONTH INCREASES. In the event Producer submits one or more
revised Availability Reports which have the effect of increasing the quantity of
Committed Gas estimated to be delivered to Dynegy on any day at a given Source
of Supply to a level above the quantity of Committed Gas designated for delivery
by Producer on that day in Producer's FOM Availability Report, the net increase
above the quantity stated in Producer's FOM Availability Report will be
considered Incremental Swing Gas.

                                       12
<Page>

     2.5 SUPPLY POOLS. For purposes of managing mid-month changes in the
quantity of Committed Gas delivered from Sources of Supply, the Parties have
established Supply Pools and have allocated individual Sources of Supply to
the various Supply Pools. The Supply Pools and the Sources of Supply
allocated to each of them are set forth in Exhibit "A-1" to this Agreement.
The Parties may, from time to time, informally modify the information
contained on Exhibit "A-1" through the use of e-mail, telecopy, or other
written communication. In addition, the Parties may periodically amend this
Agreement to substitute an updated version of Exhibit "A-1". In the interim
periods between such periodic amendments the Parties' informal revisions of
Exhibit "A-1" shall be given effect as if Exhibit "A-1" had been amended
accordingly as of the effective date of such informal revisions.

     2.6 RIGHT TO PROCESS. Producer hereby reserves the right to process all or
any portion of the Committed Gas deliverable to Dynegy under this Agreement for
the removal of all or any constituents other than methane. Such processing
rights may be exercised either before or, if the Transporter allows, after
delivery of the Committed Gas to Dynegy. When Producer is exercising its right
to process the Committed Gas (and such right may be exercised at any time and
from time to time during the term of this Agreement), title to the liquefiable
hydrocarbons and other constituents removed or consumed during processing shall
not pass to Dynegy, but shall remain at all times in Producer. Dynegy and
Producer agree that they will cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise
of Producer's processing right, including, without limitation, taking the
actions described in the remainder of this Section 2.6.

          2.6.1 ACCOUNTING AND BILLING PROCEDURES. When and if Producer elects
to exercise its processing rights, Dynegy and Producer will establish reasonable
accounting and billing procedures so that (i) Dynegy will pay only for the
quantities of residue Committed Gas remaining after processing and (ii) all
charges of the Transporter will be equitably allocated between Dynegy and
Producer, with Producer paying all costs attributable to the exercise of its
processing rights and Dynegy paying all costs attributable to the Committed Gas
purchased by it.

          2.6.2 OFFSHORE CONDENSATE. It is understood that Producer's gas wells
may produce liquid hydrocarbons (condensate) along with the gas well Committed
Gas to be delivered under this Agreement. To the extent that any Delivery Point
provided for in this Agreement is located on an offshore platform, and if
Transporter allows, Dynegy agrees that Producer may inject condensate into the
gas stream delivered hereunder for transportation and redelivery to Producer at
a separation facility located onshore. Producer agrees to bear, or reimburse
Dynegy for, all charges of the Transporter attributable to the injection,
transportation, and redelivery of Producer's condensate.

          2.6.3 PTR. Unless Producer's gas processor or the applicable gas
processing plant is required to supply plant thermal reduction (PTR) replacement
gas when Producer's Committed Gas is being processed, Dynegy shall make
arrangements to obtain and deliver to the applicable processing plant the PTR
volumes associated with the processing of Producer's Committed Gas, including
arranging for any necessary PTR transportation agreements and placing any
necessary PTR nominations in accordance with this Section 2.6.3. If the plant
requires PTR to be provided from the producer's gas stream, Dynegy shall make
the appropriate PTR nominations on Producer's

                                       13
<Page>

behalf and deduct the PTR from the quantities purchased under this Agreement;
provided, however, if any such in-kind PTR is transported on a Dynegy
transportation agreement, Dynegy shall be reimbursed by Producer for any
transportation charges associated with such in-kind PTR. If the plant permits
the producer to supply replacement PTR, Dynegy shall provide the necessary
PTR quantities and charge Producer therefor in accordance with subsections
2.6.3.1 and 2.6.3.2 below.

               2.6.3.1. PTR QUANTITY. Dynegy, in cooperation with and as
     directed by Producer or Producer's gas processor, shall deliver to the
     applicable processing plant the PTR attributable to processing Producer's
     Committed Gas.

               2.6.3.2. PTR PRICE. "PTR Price" shall mean the published price
     quotes for the pipeline on which Producer's Committed Gas flows, as
     published in "INSIDE F.E.R.C.'s Gas Market Report", a McGraw-Hill Co.
     publication, "Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to the Pipelines, First of the
     Month, Index", for the month in which Producer's Committed Gas Production
     is processed, plus two cents per MMBtu ($0.02/MMBtu) supplied, plus the
     actual cost of transporting PTR, plus any applicable taxes (including but
     not limited to fuel usage taxes) and any other costs incurred by Dynegy on
     the transportation and delivery of PTR. Any Imbalances associated with PTR
     shall be the financial responsibility of Producer and shall be resolved in
     accordance with Transporter's applicable tariff provisions. In the event
     that (i) "INSIDE F.E.R.C.'s Gas Market Report" or its successor publication
     ceases to be published, or (ii) Producer and Dynegy agree that another
     index more accurately reflects existing marketing conditions with respect
     to PTR, then Producer and Dynegy shall mutually determine an alternate
     method for determining PTR Price.

               2.6.4 DOCUMENTATION OF CHARGES. Dynegy shall furnish Producer
     with documentation establishing the actual charges incurred by Dynegy and
     borne by Producer under Sections 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. Such documentation
     shall reflect the method of allocation of such charges between Dynegy and
     Producer. Upon agreement of the Parties, amounts paid by Dynegy and borne
     by Producer under Sections 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 may be netted against
     amounts Dynegy is obligated to pay Producer for Committed Gas delivered
     under this Agreement.

III. TRANSPORTATION AND PENALTIES

     3.1 UPSTREAM GATHERING AND TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENTS. Exhibit "A" to this
Agreement describes the upstream gathering and transportation service agreements
associated with the delivery of Committed Gas from each Source of Supply to the
applicable Delivery Points. The Parties shall revise Exhibit "A" during the term
of this Agreement to reflect the addition or deletion of gathering and
transportation service agreements. Producer shall be responsible for arranging,
nominating and paying for, all upstream transportation and gathering services
(and associated charges) necessary for Producer to deliver Committed Gas to the
Delivery Point(s) including but not limited to lost and unaccounted for gas, and
whether or not such service or associated charge is provided for on Exhibit "A",
with the following exception. Upon written request from Producer, Dynegy will
manage, as Producer's agent, any upstream gathering or transportation service
agreement utilized to deliver Producer's Committed Gas to the Delivery Point(s).
The Parties agree

                                       14
<Page>

to execute any agreements they deem necessary to implement the shifting of
such responsibility to Dynegy. Management and operation of such service
agreements will include, without limitation, nominations, confirmations,
resolution of imbalances for either Producer's or Dynegy's account (through
cash-outs or otherwise, and consistent with the imbalance settlement
provisions of Section 3.3 below), and the payment of invoices. Amounts paid
by Dynegy to an upstream gatherer or transporter (other than amounts related
to cash-outs or imbalance settlement) will be netted against amounts Dynegy
is obligated to pay Producer for Committed Gas delivered under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon agreement of the Parties, in
respect to any payments to an upstream gatherer or transporter, Producer
shall reimburse Dynegy for one hundred percent (100%) of all payments made by
Dynegy to such upstream gatherer or transporter prior to the date Dynegy is
required to make such payments to the gatherer or transporter provided that
Dynegy furnishes Producer a copy of the invoice no later than ten days prior
to the payment due date. If Dynegy furnishes a copy of the invoice later than
the tenth day before the payment due date, Producer shall exercise reasonable
efforts to reimburse Dynegy prior to the payment due date, but shall in any
event reimburse Dynegy no later than the close of business on the tenth day
following Producer's receipt of the invoice. In the event Producer requests
Dynegy's assistance in obtaining a new upstream gathering or transportation
rate during the term of this Agreement, such assistance will be furnished
pursuant to an agreement addressing, among other items, the allocation
between Producer and Dynegy of any cost saving associated with new rates. In
addition, in those cases (and only those cases) where (a) TEPI agreed, prior
to the Effective Date, to place nominations for TEPI working interest
partners to facilitate the transportation of such partners' gas, or (b) the
applicable pipeline requires that all nominations be placed by the lease
operator or its designee, Dynegy shall place nominations for Producers and
their partners, notwithstanding the fact that Dynegy may not be purchasing
the partner gas under this (or any other) Agreement. The Parties have made an
effort to identify in Exhibit "A" the instances where such obligations are
known to exist, and TEPI shall notify Dynegy promptly upon discovery of any
additional instances where such pre-existing partner obligations or pipeline
requirements exist. Unless otherwise agreed, Dynegy shall not be required to
confirm nominations, or to provide allocations or imbalance management
services, for third parties unless such third parties' gas is controlled by
Producer and sold to Dynegy under this Agreement.

     3.2 TRANSPORTER'S TARIFF. Except as provided in Section 3.3 with respect to
Imbalances, the rules, guidelines, and policies of the pipeline immediately
downstream of the Delivery Point ("Transporter") shall define and set forth the
manner in which the Committed Gas purchased and sold under this Agreement is
measured and transported.

     3.3 IMBALANCES. Except as specifically provided in Sections 2.6.3 with
respect to PTR and 3.4 with respect to OFOs and scheduling penalties, the terms
and conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff (or equivalent state-approved
tariff) addressing under-deliveries or over-deliveries of gas into the pipeline
("Imbalances") shall not be used for purposes of resolving Imbalances under this
Agreement. Instead, the Parties agree to address and resolve any Imbalances as
set forth in this Section 3.3. For purposes of this Agreement, an under-delivery
is defined as an instance where the monthly quantity of Committed Gas allocated
to Dynegy on a Dynegy agreement or to Producer's account on a Producer agreement
managed by Dynegy at a given Balancing Point is less than the monthly quantity
of Committed Gas designated for delivery at that Balancing Point in Producer's

                                       15
<Page>

Availability Report as changed throughout the month by revisions of the
Availability Report in accordance with Section 2.2.1 above. An over-delivery
is defined as an instance where the monthly quantity of Committed Gas
allocated to Dynegy on a Dynegy agreement or to Producer on a Producer
agreement managed by Dynegy at a given Balancing Point is greater than the
monthly quantity of Committed Gas designated for delivery at that Balancing
Point in Producer's Availability Report as changed throughout the month by
timely revisions of the Availability Report in accordance with Section 2.2.1
above. Consistent with the foregoing definitions, the Parties recognize and
agree that no Imbalance (either an over-delivery or an under-delivery) will
be deemed to exist in those cases where Dynegy or Producer is allocated the
availed quantity at the Balancing Point. If, however, Dynegy is allocated a
monthly volume at the Delivery Point that is different from the quantity
availed by Producer at the associated Balancing Point (other than differences
caused by a failure of Dynegy's downstream markets to properly nominate or
take receipt volumes at the Delivery Point and any differences accounted for
by fuel deducted in kind, intentional over or under nominations to clear
imbalances, or other adjustments taken into consideration in the usual
pricing and accounting processes), then Dynegy shall be kept whole for such
variance and the Parties shall take appropriate steps to eliminate or address
such variances in the future. In the event the applicable Transporter
requires balancing on a basis other than monthly, the Parties shall endeavor
in good faith to agree on an alternate settlement process that will retain,
to the maximum extent possible, the mutual benefits of this Section 3.3.

          3.3.1 PAYMENT BASED ON AVAILABILITY REPORTS. Dynegy shall initially
calculate the payment due to Producer each month based on the quantities of gas
estimated for delivery during such month in Producer's Availability Reports, as
such reports were adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 2.2.1.
The total payment due for the month shall then be adjusted to reflect the actual
quantities delivered at each Balancing Point through the "purchase" or "sale" of
any Imbalances as provided in Sections 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4, and 3.3.5.

          3.3.2 UNDER-DELIVERIES ON CASHOUT PIPELINES. In the event that
Producer is in a net under-delivery status as of the end of any month at a given
Balancing Point feeding into a pipeline that cashes out imbalances on a monthly
basis, Producer shall pay Dynegy an amount equal to the quantity of the
under-delivery, expressed in MMBtu, multiplied by 105% of the Gas Daily Month
Average Price applicable to the Source of Supply associated with that Balancing
Point, as set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto, plus or minus any adjustments
applicable to that Source of Supply, including, without limitation, deduction of
gathering and transportation charges (collectively "Index Price Adjustments"),
excluding the Premium, all as set forth on Exhibit "A" hereto.

          3.3.3 OVER-DELIVERIES ON CASHOUT PIPELINES. In the event Producer is
in a net over-delivery status in any month at a given Balancing Point feeding
into a pipeline that cashes out imbalances on a monthly basis, then Dynegy shall
pay Producer an amount equal to the quantity of the over-delivery, expressed in
MMBtu, multiplied by 95% of the Gas Daily Month Average Price applicable to the
Source of Supply associated with that Balancing Point, as set forth in Exhibit
"A" hereto, plus or minus any adjustments applicable to that Source of Supply,
including, without limitation, deduction of gathering and transportation charges
(collectively "Index Price Adjustments"), excluding the Premium, all as set
forth on Exhibit "A" hereto.

                                       16
<Page>

          3.3.4 UNDER-DELIVERIES ON NON-CASHOUT PIPELINES. In the event that
Producer is in a net under-delivery status as of the end of any month
("Production Month") at a given Balancing Point feeding into a pipeline that
uses a rolling imbalance mechanism rather than a cash out procedure, Producer
shall pay Dynegy an amount equal to the quantity of the under-delivery,
expressed in MMBtu, multiplied by the Imbalance Settlement Price as hereafter
defined. The "Imbalance Settlement Price" shall be calculated as follows:

     (a) The month in which the Imbalance Accrued is Month 1.
     (b) Determine the arithmetic average of the NYMEX "settle" prices for
Months 3, 4, and 5 as quoted on the 15th day of Month 2 (or the next earlier day
for which quotes are available if no quotes are available on the 15th).
     (c) Subtract from the average price determined in (b), above, the amount by
which the Henry Hub Inside FERC price for Month 2 exceeds the FOM price for
Month 2 specified on the applicable Exhibit "A" sheet for the Source of Supply
in question.
     (d) The amount so determined will be the Imbalance Settlement Price for
Month 1.

          3.3.5 OVER-DELIVERIES ON NON-CASHOUT PIPELINES. In the event Producer
is in a net over-delivery status in any month at a given Balancing Point feeding
into a pipeline that uses a rolling imbalance mechanism rather than a cash out
procedure , then Dynegy shall pay Producer an amount equal to the quantity of
the over-delivery, expressed in MMBtu, multiplied by the Imbalance Settlement
Price as defined in Section 3.3.4 above.

          3.3.6 IMBALANCES AT PROCESSING PLANTS. Imbalances with gas processing
plants where gas is delivered to Dynegy under this Agreement shall remain with
Producer and shall not be transferred to Dynegy pursuant to the other provisions
of this Section 3.3, but any imbalance accruing on the pipeline receiving the
gas downstream of the plant shall be resolved between Producer and Dynegy as
provided above.

          3.3.7 SETTLEMENT WITH TRANSPORTER. Except as provided in the
following sentence, the provisions of Sections 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4, and 3.3.5,
as applicable, shall constitute full settlement between Producer and Dynegy of
any Imbalances occurring under this Agreement, and it shall be Dynegy's sole
responsibility to make any settlement with the Transporter that may be required
as a result of such Imbalances. If any retroactive reallocation of Producer's
volumes is issued by a Transporter after the normal accounting cycle and such
reallocation increases or decreases the volumes allocated to Dynegy for
Producer's account, Producer and Dynegy shall resolve such Imbalance between
them based on the Transporter's cash-out settlement, or on a mutually agreeable
basis if the Transporter does not utilize cash-out. Such reallocations shall not
be subject to the two-year limit of Section 7.4.

          3.3.8 LIMITS ON NETTING OF IMBALANCES. In settling Imbalances as
provided in this Section 3.3, the Parties agree that there shall be no netting
of Imbalances between (a) Sources of Supply (except where two or more Sources of
Supply have been combined by mutual agreement), or (b) the individual Producers
that are sellers under this Agreement.

                                       17
<Page>

          3.3.9 RENEGOTIATION OF IMBALANCE PROVISIONS. The intent of Section
3.3 is to implement a fair, reasonable, and administratively efficient
imbalance settlement process between the Parties. However, if Dynegy notifies
Producers that it is incurring an economic burden by managing Cashout
Pipeline Imbalances and/or Non-Cashout Pipeline Imbalances as provided in
this Section 3.3, whether as a result of material changes in pipeline
tariffs, a significant deterioration in the accuracy of Producer's
Availability Reports, or any other cause, the Parties shall endeavor to
resolve such economic burden under the following process:

     A. Dynegy shall provide Producers a summary of where the economic burden
has been incurred. The summary may identify economic burden on all Cashout
Pipelines only, all non-Cashout Pipelines only, or both.

     (i) CASHOUT PIPELINES. If Dynegy notifies Producers that the economic
     burden has occurred on the Cashout Pipelines, the summary will provide an
     analysis by Dynegy of imbalances that have occurred and how those
     imbalances have been settled under the Cashout Pipeline settlement process
     in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, compared to how those imbalances would
     have been settled under the Cashout Pipeline provisions of Sections 3,
     3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the January 1, 1998 Gas Purchase and Sale Agreement
     between Dynegy and CUSA (the "Superseded GPSA").

     (ii) NON-CASHOUT PIPELINES. If Dynegy notifies Producers that the economic
     burden has occurred on the non-Cashout Pipelines, the summary will provide
     an analysis by Dynegy of how the volumetric imbalances on such pipelines
     are actually being cleared by Dynegy compared to the "Imbalance Settlement
     Price" paid by Dynegy under Sections 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 of this Agreement for
     such imbalances.

     B. If the summary provided reflects that there is an economic difference
between the settlement process under (i) and/or (ii) above that results in a
detriment to Dynegy, the Parties shall consider whether an alternative imbalance
resolution process can be implemented. The Parties will endeavor in good faith
to identify a solution that will retain, to the maximum extent practicable, the
mutual benefits of Section 3.3, while modifying the current procedure only to
the extent necessary to alleviate the economic burden to Dynegy. Such changes
may therefore be limited to a particular pipeline or group of pipelines or to
specific Balancing Points if the economic burden can be addressed by such a
limited change. If the Parties mutually agree on an alternate imbalance
resolution process for (i) and/or (ii), then such process will be implemented
effective the first day of the month following such agreement.

     C. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement within 30 days after Dynegy
has provided such summary, then Dynegy shall have the right to elect that the
imbalance resolution process under this Agreement be replaced with (i) for
Cashout Pipelines, Sections 3, 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the Superseded GPSA; provided,
however that the Balancing Points specified in Exhibit "A" to this Agreement
shall serve as the balancing resolution point and be the point where imbalances
are tracked and resolved between Dynegy and the Producers rather than the
Delivery Point used in such sections of the Superseded GPSA; and (ii) for
non-Cashout Pipelines, Section 3.3.3 of the Superseded GPSA, in which case
Dynegy and Producers shall agree upon a final reconciliation of any Imbalance
where

                                       18
<Page>

the transportation agreement on such pipeline(s) is between Producers and
Transporter. Any election by Dynegy under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph C
shall become effective the first day of the month following Dynegy's election
to revert back to such provision(s) in the Superseded GPSA.

          3.3.10 IMBALANCE RECONCILIATION. Upon termination of this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of Article X, Dynegy and Producers shall agree
upon a final reconciliation of any imbalances that remain on any non-Cashout
Pipelines where the transportation agreement on such pipeline(s) is between
Producer and Transporter. Such final reconciliation shall not be subject to the
two-year limit of section 7.4.

     3.4 OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS AND SCHEDULING PENALTIES. Producer and Dynegy
recognize that Transporter may be authorized to issue Operational Flow Orders
("OFOs"), or the equivalent, under the General Terms and Conditions of
Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff, or any successor provision. Producer and Dynegy
also recognize that Transporter may issue an OFO that obligates Producer or
Dynegy to take action that may be contrary to the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the delivery and taking of gas in quantities
contrary to those set forth in Availability Reports and prior nominations.
Producer and Dynegy agree to use their best efforts to prevent the issuance of
such an OFO. In the event an OFO is issued, Producer and Dynegy agree that
compliance with any duly authorized OFO will not constitute a violation of this
Agreement, provided that: (i) the Party receiving an OFO notifies the other
Party as soon as possible, and (ii) the Parties use their best efforts to
minimize the operational and economic consequences of compliance with the OFO by
all means at their disposal. In the event an OFO can be construed as calling for
the curtailment of Producer production, the Parties will cooperate to take steps
alternative to a shut-in to the extent such alternative steps may be taken
without causing a different Dynegy firm supplier to bear a disproportionate
share of adverse consequences flowing from the OFO. Nothing in this Section 3.4
shall be construed to require Producer to bear adverse economic consequences
under an OFO issued as a result of over-deliveries by a third party supplier of
gas to Dynegy or deficient takes by a Dynegy market, and not as a result of any
act or omission by Producer. In addition, Producer and Dynegy recognize that the
Transporter may also assess scheduling penalties on a daily or other basis based
on Producer's delivery of quantities of gas into the pipeline at rates deviating
from the nominated rates by more than the permissible tolerance. Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3.3 to the contrary, Producer shall be responsible for (a)
any penalties resulting from Producer's or Producer's operator's failure to
comply with a pipeline OFO applicable to a Supply Point under this Agreement,
and (b) any scheduling penalties assessed by the Transporter as a result of
Producer's or Producer's operator's deviation from the rate of delivery
indicated in the applicable Availability Report delivered by Producer to Dynegy.

     3.5 OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENTS. The Parties may agree to maintain
operational balancing agreements or the equivalent ("OBAs") at points where such
agreements are available and where having such agreements in place can
facilitate the avoidance and/or resolution of imbalances. As to Balancing Points
covered by an OBA, Dynegy shall be commercially responsible for keeping the OBA
in balance and Producer's Imbalances with Dynegy will be resolved as provided in
Section 3.3.

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

     3.6 RETROGRADE CONDENSATE NOMINATIONS. Upon request from Producer,
Dynegy shall place retrograde condensate related gas nominations with the
Transporters on Producer's behalf from Producer's equity gas supply. For
Supply Points requiring such nominations, Producer will submit to Dynegy a
"Retrograde Payback Avail" in Producer's applicable Availability Report. Gas
nominated as Retrograde Payback shall be deducted from the quantity of gas
purchased by Dynegy under this Agreement. Dynegy and Producer will cooperate
to develop work processes that follow the requirements of the Transporters
with regard to Retrograde Payback Nominations. If unique, separate
transportation agreements for Retrograde Payback Nominations are required by
the Transporter, Producer shall enter into such transportation agreements,
and Dynegy upon Producer's request will administer all aspects of such
agreements. Any costs charged by the Transporter related to this service,
including imbalances, which shall be resolved in accordance with the
Transporter's applicable tariff provisions, shall be borne by Producer.

IV.  COMMODITY PRICE

     4.1 FIRST OF THE MONTH COMMODITY PRICE BASELOAD GAS. The commodity price
  paid by Dynegy to Producer for each MMBtu of Baseload Gas delivered to Dynegy
  (including any Baseload Shortfall, as described in Section 2.4.6) shall be
* based on [REDACTED] and will vary by Source of Supply and Delivery Point. The
  "FOM Commodity Price" of Baseload Gas produced from a given Source of Supply
* shall be [REDACTED] plus or minus adjustments applicable to that Source of
  Supply, including, without limitation, deduction of gathering and
* transportation charges (collectively "Index Price Adjustments"), [REDACTED].
  Prior to delivery of Baseload Gas under this Agreement, Producer and Dynegy
* shall agree on (i) the [REDACTED] of the FOM Commodity Price of the Baseload
  Gas delivered to the applicable Delivery Point; (ii) the Index Price
* Adjustments, if any, [REDACTED] necessary to arrive at the FOM Commodity
* Price; and (iii) [REDACTED]. The substitution of a new [REDACTED] also
  requires the agreement of Producer and Dynegy. Although the Parties will
* strive to reduce agreements substituting a new [REDACTED] to writing, the
  Parties recognize that market conditions may require prompt action.
* Consequently, oral agreements substituting a new [REDACTED] will be effective
  until reduced to writing. The Parties agree to exercise best efforts to
  reduce such oral agreements to writing within thirty days of reaching
* agreement. The FOM Commodity Price shall be calculated [REDACTED] during the
* term of this Agreement and shall remain in effect during the entire [REDACTED]
*  unless the Parties agree to change the FOM Commodity Price [REDACTED].

     4.2 COMMODITY PRICE SWING GAS. The commodity price paid by Dynegy to
  Producer for each MMBtu of Swing Gas delivered to Dynegy (the "Swing Gas
* Commodity Price") shall be based on the [REDACTED] shall be the [REDACTED]

                                       20
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

  Swing Gas is delivered to Dynegy under this Agreement in the table titled
* [REDACTED] and the Delivery Point where Producer delivers the Swing Gas. The
* Swing Gas Commodity Price shall be [REDACTED] applicable to the Source of
  Supply in question, plus or minus adjustments applicable to that Source of
  Supply, including, without limitation, deduction of gathering and
* transportation charges (collectively "Index Price Adjustments") [REDACTED].
* [REDACTED] to this Agreement. Dynegy and Producer agree to follow the
* recommendations of [REDACTED].

*      4.2.1 [REDACTED]. If anytime on Monday through Thursday (but not on a
  holiday or a day which is the last Business Day before a holiday) Producer
  submits a revised Availability Report after the 9:00 a.m. Central Time
  deadline, and that Availability Report increases the quantity of gas to be
  delivered by Producer from a Source of Supply for the current Business Day
  and/or the following Business Day above the level stated in Producer's most
  recent timely Availability Report, then the Commodity Price applicable to such
* additional gas shall be calculated as if [REDACTED]. Such [REDACTED].
  Availability Reports submitted by Producer after 9:00 a.m. Central Time on a
  Friday, Saturday or Sunday, or on the last Business Day prior to a holiday,
  that increase avails from a Source of Supply for any day or days during the
  Weekend Sales Period (Saturday, Sunday and Monday) or Holiday Sales Period
  (the holiday(s) and the first Business Day thereafter) also shall bear
* [REDACTED] as of the first day as to which the revised Availability Report is
  considered timely.

     4.3 DESCRIPTION OF SOURCES OF SUPPLY. The Sources of Supply, Delivery
* Points, [REDACTED], and Index Price Adjustments effective as of the Effective
  Date are set forth in Exhibit "A" to this Agreement. New Sources of Supply or
* Delivery Point(s), and the associated [REDACTED], and Index Price Adjustments
  that Producer and Dynegy have agreed upon shall be set forth in a notice
  prepared by Dynegy and furnished to Producer. The Parties may from time to
  time, but are not required to, amend Exhibit "A" to reflect the information
  contained in such notice, and the failure to so amend Exhibit "A" shall not
  affect Producer's obligation to deliver, and Dynegy's obligation to purchase,
  Committed Gas.

     4.4 SPLIT CONNECT COMMITTED GAS. With respect to Committed Gas produced
  from a Source of Supply capable of being delivered into more than one pipeline
  system at the applicable

                                       21
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

  Delivery Point with different Published Index Prices associated with such
  multiple pipeline options ("split connect Committed Gas"), Producer shall
* select [REDACTED] to be applicable to such split connect Committed Gas from
* [REDACTED], as noted on the Exhibit "A" sheet applicable to
* such Source of Supply. [REDACTED] selected by Producer, adjusted by the
* applicable Index Price Adjustments and [REDACTED] will be referred to as the
  "Selected FOM Commodity Price" for purposes of this Section 4.4. Except as
  provided below in this Section 4.4, and absent agreement of the Parties to the
* contrary, Producer's selection of [REDACTED] applicable to a given source of
* split connect Committed Gas may be made or changed as of [REDACTED] and will
  remain in effect until the next scheduled opportunity for Producer to select a
* different [REDACTED]. Producer will make its selection for a succeeding period
  in writing no later than 30 days prior to the first day of the new period and
  each such selection shall remain in effect until replaced by a new written
* selection after a similar notice period. If Dynegy believes that [REDACTED]
  selected by Producer does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the
  split-connect Committed Gas from the Source of Supply in question, Dynegy may
  provide Producer with evidence thereof within five days following Dynegy's
  receipt of Producer's selection, and Dynegy and Producer shall endeavor in
  good faith to agree, no later than 15 days prior to the first day of the new
* period, upon the appropriate [REDACTED] for that Source of Supply. If the
  Parties are unable to agree, then Producer's selection from the prior period
  shall remain in effect and either Party may require the matter to be resolved
  in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures of Section 11.8 hereof.
  Upon resolution of the dispute, the selection determined in accordance with
  Section 11.8 shall be implemented retroactively to the beginning of the new
  period.

          4.4.1 SPLIT CONNECT BASELOAD GAS PRICE. The price paid by Dynegy to
  Producer for each MMBtu of split connect Baseload Gas delivered by Producer to
  Dynegy during a given month will be the Selected FOM Commodity Price.

          4.4.2 SPLIT CONNECT SWING GAS PRICE. The Swing Gas Commodity Price
  paid by Dynegy to Producer for each MMBtu of split connect Swing Gas delivered
  by Producer to Dynegy on each day during a given month will be calculated
  using the [REDACTED] that most closely replicates the [REDACTED] selected for
  that Source of Supply in accordance with Section 4.4.

*         4.4.3 [REDACTED] PRICING FOR CERTAIN [REDACTED] GAS. Committed Gas
* from the [REDACTED] Sources of Supply listed on Exhibit "D" hereto will be
* priced [REDACTED] through negotiations between Producer and Dynegy to reflect
* [REDACTED] options available for marketing such Committed Gas. The intent of
* these [REDACTED] negotiations is to [REDACTED] obtainable for the Sources of
  Supply described on Exhibit "D", recognizing the nature of the intrastate
  market and the transportation services provided by third parties. The
* [REDACTED] negotiation will include [REDACTED] evaluation of available
* [REDACTED] markets and pricing via various transporters, [REDACTED], and
  interstate options or other options that may become available. If the Parties
  are unable to agree

                                       22
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

* on a more favorable pricing basis, the gas will be priced at [REDACTED]
* as defined in the applicable Exhibit "A" sheet, plus [REDACTED],
* less [REDACTED], except that the price for gas that is ultimately delivered by
  Dynegy as agent for TEPI or TNGI under existing term agreements tied to
* [REDACTED] shall be the [REDACTED], plus [REDACTED], less [REDACTED]. Split
  Connect Committed Gas produced from Sources of Supply described on Exhibit "D"
  shall be priced in accordance with this Section 4.4.3, without regard to the
  other provisions of this Section 4.4.

         4.4.4 ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO MID-MONTH FORCE MAJEURE OCCURRENCES. If split
connect Committed Gas previously scheduled on one pipeline system must be moved
to another system due to a force majeure occurrence declared by the first
pipeline, the price applicable to such gas during the continuance of the force
majeure shall not change unless application of the existing pricing mechanism
would create an economic burden on Dynegy. In the event of such an economic
burden, Dynegy shall provide Producer notice of the force majeure occurrence as
soon as reasonably possible and the Parties will negotiate a price reflective of
the fair market value of the split connect Committed Gas at the applicable
Delivery Point, giving due consideration to the effect of the force majeure.

     4.5 DOWNSTREAM RELEASED FIRM TRANSPORTATION. In the event (i) Dynegy is
the replacement shipper under a firm transportation service agreement
released by Producer to Dynegy and covering transportation upstream of the
point at which the applicable Published Index Price is determined; (ii) such
firm transportation service agreement expires or is subject to termination by
Dynegy or Producer during the term of this Agreement; and (iii) an alternate
Published Index Price is available at a point upstream of the point at which
the then current Published Index Price is determined, the following procedure
shall apply. Dynegy shall enter into negotiations with the Transporter for
the purpose of obtaining the rate applicable to the rollover, extension or
renewal, as the case may be, of the firm transportation service agreement.
Producer shall have the option to approve the new rate, in which case the
firm transportation service agreement will be extended or renewed and the
Published Index Price shall remain the same and the Adjustment attributable
to the firm transportation service agreement will equal the new rate, or not
approve the new rate, in which case the point at which the Published Index
Price is determined shall move upstream to the appropriate point. In the
latter case, Dynegy shall be entitled to enter into the new firm
transportation service agreement at a rate equal to or higher than the rate
Producer elected not to approve. In the event Producer elects not to approve
the new rate, the foregoing procedure shall not apply to subsequent instances
where a firm transportation service agreement expires or is subject to
termination.

         4.6 DYNEGY'S FAILURE TO PURCHASE COMMITTED GAS. If Dynegy fails in any
month to purchase at least ninety five percent (95%) of the quantity of
Committed Gas designated for delivery on Producer's Availability Report (as
adjusted during the month) from each Source of Supply ("Availed Quantity"), and
to the extent that such failure is not the result of force majeure, an OFO, or
Producer's failure to make Committed Gas available, Dynegy shall pay to
Producer, as liquidated damages, an amount calculated as follows:

                                       23
<Page>

               (a) If Dynegy has purchased at least ninety percent (90%), but
less than ninety five percent (95%) of the Availed Quantity for the Source of
Supply, the liquidated damages shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the FOM
Commodity Price applicable to that Source of Supply, multiplied by the
difference between ninety five percent (95%) of the Availed Quantity and the
lesser quantity of Committed Gas actually purchased by Dynegy in such month from
the Source of Supply. For purposes of this Section 4.6, in instances where
Committed Gas from different Sources of Supply are delivered into a single pool,
the calculation of the percentage of Committed Gas purchased by Dynegy shall be
based on Dynegy's purchases from the entire pool and the Availed Quantity
applicable to the entire pool.

               (b) If Dynegy has purchased less than ninety percent (90%) of the
Availed Quantity for the Source of Supply, the liquidated Damages shall be equal
to the sum of (i) ten percent (10%) of the FOM Commodity Price applicable to
that Source of Supply, multiplied by five percent (5%) of the Availed Quantity;
and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the FOM Commodity Price applicable to that
Source of Supply, multiplied by the difference between ninety percent (90%) of
the Availed Quantity and the lesser quantity of Committed Gas actually purchased
by Dynegy.

V.   TITLE AND RESPONSIBILITY

     5.1 PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY. Title to Committed Gas delivered by Producer
to Dynegy shall pass to Dynegy at the Delivery Points. The price for Committed
Gas delivered under this Agreement is inclusive of all production, severance, ad
valorem, or similar taxes levied on the production or transportation of the
Committed Gas prior to its delivery to or for the account of Dynegy at the
Delivery Point(s). All charges, royalties, lease burdens, expenses, fees, taxes,
damages, injuries, and other costs incurred in or attributable to production and
transfer, transportation (except as otherwise agreed by the Parties), and
handling of Committed Gas delivered in accordance with this Agreement prior to
delivery to Dynegy at the Delivery Point(s) shall be the exclusive
responsibility of Producer, as between the Parties. Producer shall indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Dynegy from all such charges, royalties, expenses,
fees, taxes, damages, injuries, and other costs. In the event Dynegy is required
by law to collect any such taxes, and Producer claims an exemption from the
taxes, Producer shall, upon Dynegy's request, furnish Dynegy with a copy of
Producer's exemption certificate.

     5.2 DYNEGY RESPONSIBILITY. All charges, expenses, fees, taxes, damages,
injuries, and other costs incurred in or attributable to the purchase and
transfer, transportation, and handling of the Committed Gas delivered in
accordance with this Agreement from and after delivery of Committed Gas at the
Delivery Point(s) shall be the exclusive responsibility of Dynegy, as between
the Parties. Dynegy shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Producer from all
such charges, expenses, fees, taxes, damages, injuries, and other costs. In the
event Producer is required by law to collect any such taxes, and Dynegy claims
an exemption from the taxes, Dynegy shall, upon Producer's request, furnish
Producer with a copy of Dynegy's exemption certificate.

                                       24

VI.  QUALITY, MEASUREMENT AND TESTS

     6.1 QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. Dynegy agrees to purchase Committed Gas
delivered by Producer to the Delivery Point(s) meeting the quality and pressure
specifications set forth in the filed tariff of the pipeline immediately
downstream of the Delivery Points ("Transporter"). If Committed Gas delivered by
Producer to the Delivery Point(s) is rejected by Transporter for failure to meet
its quality specifications, Dynegy shall be relieved of the obligation to
purchase such Committed Gas. To the extent that Transporter accepts Committed
Gas tendered by Producer for Dynegy's account at the Delivery Point(s), Producer
shall be deemed to have complied with the quality specifications of this
Agreement.

     6.2 VOLUME AND HEATING VALUE. Dynegy and Producer agree that the volume and
heating value of Committed Gas sold and delivered under this Agreement will be
measured at or near the Delivery Point(s) by Transporter, using equipment owned
or controlled by, and measuring procedures employed by, Transporter. The
measurements made by Transporter shall be accepted by Dynegy and Producer
(subject to adjustment if prior measurements are determined to be inaccurate or
incomplete), provided, however, the measuring equipment and procedures used must
conform to Transporter's filed tariffs and to generally recognized industry
standards.

     6.3 TEST DATA AND CHARTS. Producer and Dynegy shall preserve all original
test data, charts and other similar records in a Party's possession for a period
of at least three years.

VII. ACCOUNTING, BILLING AND PAYMENT

     7.1 STATEMENTS. On or before the twentieth day of the month following
the month of delivery, Dynegy will furnish Producer the following information
concerning the month of delivery: the total quantity of gas, both Baseload
and Swing, that was to have been delivered at each Balancing Point based on
Producer's Availability Report, as adjusted from time to time in accordance
with Section 2.2.1, the quantity of Baseload Gas and Swing Gas actually
delivered under this Agreement at each Balancing Point; the FOM Commodity
Prices; the Swing Gas Commodity Prices; any Imbalance sales or purchases
payable under Section 3.3, any pipeline OFO penalties or scheduling penalties
payable under Section 3.4, and any late avails fees or other amounts payable
under this Agreement; and the total amounts payable by Dynegy and Producer.
If the actual total volumes of Committed Gas delivered under this Agreement
are not available by the date of the statement, estimated volumes or prices
shall be used and adjustments shall be made on the following month's billing,
or as soon as available. Producer shall provide Dynegy copies of pipeline
allocation statements Producer receives from applicable pipelines as soon as
such statements become available. The statement furnished by Dynegy to
Producer shall be exchanged via EDI to the extent possible. If the accuracy
of any statement or the sufficiency of any payment is questioned by Producer,
Producer shall provide written notice of its question. If it is subsequently
determined that Dynegy underpaid Producer, Dynegy shall pay interest on such
amounts from the date of Producer's notice computed at a rate equal to the
Base Rate in effect from time to time published by Bank One, Chicago, plus
two percent. Should Dynegy fail to provide the statement required by this
Section, Producer shall have the right to prepare its own statement based
upon availed quantities of Committed Gas and actual Commodity Prices, or
estimated Commodity Prices

                                       25
<Page>

if actual Commodity Prices are not available to Producer, and provide such
statement to Dynegy. Any statement prepared by Producer in accordance with
the foregoing sentence shall form the basis of Dynegy's payment to Producer
of amounts due for Committed Gas delivered during the previous month. If any
error is subsequently discovered in such a statement, or if the statement was
based on estimated quantities or prices, appropriate adjustments shall be
made on the following month's statement, or as soon as accurate information
is available. The information and accounting described in this Article VII
shall be provided separately to CUSA, with respect to CUSA's Committed Gas,
and to TEPI, as to TEPI's and TNGI's Committed Gas. Allocation of proceeds
between TEPI and TNGI shall be the responsibility of TEPI. Each Producer
shall provide Dynegy such information regarding such Producer's ownership and
production as Dynegy may require to properly account to Producers under this
Agreement.

     7.2 PAYMENT. No later than the last Business Day of each calendar month,
Dynegy shall pay Producer, by wire transfer of funds into an account designated
by Producer, all amounts due under this Agreement for Committed Gas delivered
during the previous month.

     7.3 FAILURE TO PAY. In the event Dynegy fails to make timely payment of
amounts reflected on Dynegy's statement (or on Producer's statement if Dynegy
fails to submit a timely statement), Dynegy shall pay Producer interest on all
amounts past due, computed from the date the payment was due, at the rate set
forth in Section 7.1 above. In addition, if Dynegy fails to pay any amount due
Producer under this Agreement within five Business Days after the due date,
except for any amount which is disputed by Dynegy in good faith, Producer shall
have the right upon written notice to Dynegy to (i) suspend any further
deliveries of Committed Gas until all undisputed amounts due have been paid with
interest at the rate specified in Section 7.1, and (ii) provide notice to Dynegy
that this Agreement shall terminate if the payment default has not been cured
within five days after the date such written notice is given. During the period
of any such suspension of deliveries, and until any payment default is cured as
provided above, Producer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell
all or any portion of the Committed Gas to third parties, and in such event
Dynegy shall pay to Producer as liquidated damages an amount equal to the
difference between a lower price received by Producer in the sale of such
Committed Gas to third parties and the Commodity Price Producer would have
received from Dynegy under this Agreement multiplied by the quantity of
Committed Gas sold by Producer to third parties.

     7.4 TWO YEAR LIMIT ON ADJUSTMENTS. No retroactive adjustments may be
made for any overcharge or undercharge after a period ending twenty-four
months from the end of the calendar year in which the gas forming the basis
of the overcharge or undercharge was delivered or not delivered, as the case
may be. Any payment with respect to a retroactive adjustment shall include an
amount equal to interest on all amounts past due from the date of the initial
payment at the rate set forth in Section 7.1 above, except in instances where
neither Party knew or could have known that the overcharge or undercharge
occurred or instances of reallocations of gas by a transporting pipeline, in
which cases interest shall run from the date of demand for payment.

     7.5 AUDIT. Each Party shall have the right to audit the books and records
of the other Party at any time during reasonable business hours during the term
of this Agreement and for a period of two years after its termination to the
extent necessary to determine compliance by the other Party

                                       26
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

with the terms of this Agreement and the Security Agreement, but such audit
rights shall be limited to auditing such books and records for the then
current and four preceding years. The audited Party shall make its books and
records available to the auditing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event a governmental body asserts a claim, or conducts an audit, against
a Party arising from the purchase or sale of Committed Gas and that Party
determines in its reasonable judgment that its response to such claim
requires or would benefit from an audit of books and records of the other
Party, such audit may be conducted during the term of this Agreement and for
a period ending on the tenth anniversary of the event or payment forming the
basis of the third party claim. In order to accommodate such third party
audits, Producer and Dynegy will maintain the appropriate books and records
for a period not less than ten years. Each Party shall also have access to
the books and records of the other Party for purposes of responding to
claims, or requests for audits, asserted by a non-governmental third party
and arising from the purchase or sale of Committed Gas.

     7.6 ACCOUNTING INFORMATION. Producers and Dynegy will exercise reasonable
efforts to provide each other with data required by their respective accounting
departments to close out books for each month as soon as possible. Producers and
Dynegy will exercise reasonable efforts to provide such data no later than the
fifth Business Day of the month following the month being closed out.

     7.7 SETOFF. All payments will be made without setoff or counterclaim;
provided, however, that upon a Party's (the defaulting Party) failure to make
payment of undisputed amounts on the due date, the other Party (the
non-defaulting Party) may, at its option and in its discretion, setoff against
any amounts owed to the defaulting Party any amounts owed by the defaulting
Party under this Agreement or otherwise. The obligations of the non-defaulting
Party and the defaulting Party under this Agreement in respect of such amounts
shall be deemed satisfied and discharged to the extent of any such setoff. The
non-defaulting Party will give the defaulting Party notice of any setoff made
under this Section 7.7 as soon as practicable after the setoff is made provided
that failure to give such notice shall not offset the validity of the setoff.

     7.8 SECURITY. Dynegy's failure to maintain, or cause to be maintained,
security in accordance with this Section 7.8 any time during the term of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement. In
addition to any other rights and remedies Producer may have under this
Agreement, in the event Dynegy fails to comply with the provisions of this
Section 7.8 at any time during the term of this Agreement and such failure
continues for a period of more   than five consecutive days, Producer shall
have the right upon written notice   to Dynegy to suspend any further
deliveries of Committed Gas until Dynegy is   in full compliance herewith.

          7.8.1. INITIAL SECURITY. As of the Effective Date Dynegy has furnished
  to Producer a surety bond or bonds issued by a surety company or companies
* acceptable to Producer in the amount of [REDACTED]. Subsequent to the
  Effective Date, Dynegy shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, such surety
  bond(s) until all Committed Gas delivered under this Agreement between the
  Effective Date and April 1, 2002 has been paid for in accordance with Section
  7.2.

                                       27
<Page>

                   "Confidential Treatment Requested"

          7.8.2 SECURITY AGREEMENT AND LIEN ON GAS RECEIVABLES.
  Contemporaneously with its execution of this Agreement, Dynegy shall execute
  and deliver to Producers a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement")
  granting Producers a lien on Dynegy's Gas Receivables (as defined in the
  Security Agreement) which lien shall secure Dynegy's Obligations (as defined
  in the Security Agreement) with respect to Committed Gas delivered to Dynegy
  during the period commencing on April 1, 2002.

          7.8.3 SECURITY UPON TERMINATION OF SECURITY AGREEMENT. In the event
  Dynegy elects to terminate the Security Agreement in accordance with the terms
  thereof, Dynegy shall provide Producer an executed irrevocable standby letter
  of credit or letters of credit, or a surety bond or bonds, or a combination of
  such letters of credit and surety bonds, in an amount calculated in accordance
  with Exhibit "C" to this Agreement. The first day of the first month beginning
  after Dynegy has provided to Producers such letter(s) of credit or surety
  bond(s), or a combination of the two, with an effective date on or before such
  date, in full compliance with the terms of this Section 7.8.3 shall be
  referred to as the "Transition Date". The letter(s) of credit and/or surety
  bond(s) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Producer and the
  issuing bank or banks or the issuing surety or sureties, and the issuing
  bank(s) or surety(ies) shall also be acceptable to Producer. Thereafter,
  Dynegy shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, the letter(s) of credit or
  surety bond(s) in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in
  Exhibit "C." Dynegy's failure to maintain, or cause to be maintained, the
  letter(s) of credit or surety bond(s) in effect at any time after the
  Transition Date and during the remaining term of this Agreement in accordance
  with the requirements and procedures set forth in Exhibit "C" shall be deemed
  to be a material breach of this Agreement. In addition to any other rights and
  remedies Producer may have under this Agreement, in the event Dynegy fails to
  maintain, or cause to be maintained, the letter(s) of credit or surety bond(s)
  in effect during the remaining term of this Agreement after the Transition
  Date and such failure continues for a period of more than five consecutive
  days, Producer shall have the right upon written notice to Dynegy to suspend
  any further deliveries of Committed Gas until Dynegy furnishes the letter(s)
  of credit or surety bond(s) in accordance with the requirements and procedures
  set forth in Exhibit "C."

*         7.8.4 [REDACTED]. Upon execution of this Agreement, Producer shall
* inform Dynegy of the [REDACTED]. From time to time thereafter, Producer, at
  its sole discretion, but upon at least fifteen days' prior written notice to
* Dynegy, may [REDACTED].

VIII. DISCLAIMER AND WARRANTY

     8.1 WARRANTY. Producer hereby warrants title to all gas sold by Producer
under this Agreement and the right to sell the same free from adverse claims of
third parties, and except as provided in Section 8.2, Producer agrees to hold
Dynegy harmless from such claims.

     8.2 DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.1, PRODUCER MAKES NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY TO DYNEGY UNDER THE UNIFORM

                                       28
<Page>

COMMERCIAL CODE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IX.   FORCE MAJEURE

     9.1 SUSPENSION OF OBLIGATIONS. If either Producer or Dynegy is rendered
unable, by reason of an event of force majeure, to perform, wholly or in part,
any obligation or commitment set forth in this Agreement, except for the payment
of monies owed, then upon that Party's giving notice (the initial notice may be
oral notice followed by written notice) and full particulars of the event of
force majeure, the obligations of both Parties under this Agreement shall be
suspended, except for the payment of amounts owed under this Agreement, to the
extent and for the period of the event.

     9.2 FORCE MAJEURE DEFINED. The term "force majeure" means an event that
(i) was not within the control of the Party claiming its occurrence; and (ii)
could not have been prevented or avoided by such Party through the exercise
of due diligence. Events of force majeure include, without limitation by
enumeration, acts of God; lightning, hurricanes or storms, hurricane or storm
warnings which in Producer's judgment require and result in the precautionary
shut-down or evacuation of production facilities; earthquakes, epidemics,
fires, floods, landslides, washouts, freezing of wells or lines of pipe used
to supply Committed Gas under this Agreement and other similar severe natural
calamities; acts of public enemy; wars; blockades; insurrections; riots;
civil disturbances and arrests; strikes, lockouts or other industrial
disturbances; explosions, breakage, accidents to wells, equipment, facilities
or lines of pipe used to enable Producer to deliver or Dynegy to receive
Committed Gas under this Agreement; events of force majeure declared by
transporting pipelines; imposition by a regulatory agent, court or other
governmental authority having jurisdiction of binding laws, conditions,
limitations, orders, rules or regulations that prevent or prohibit either
Party from performing, provided such governmental action has been resisted in
good faith by all reasonable legal means; or any other cause of a similar
type. The Parties recognize that Dynegy is not required by this Agreement to
utilize firm transportation to receive Committed Gas from Producer at each
Delivery Point, but it is the intent of both Parties that transportation or
sales arrangements downstream of the Delivery Points be made by Dynegy in
such a manner that the possibility of a curtailment of Committed Gas due to
curtailment of interruptible transportation or recall of acquired
transportation be minimized. In addition to the foregoing events of force
majeure, the loss, interruption or curtailment (collectively "curtailment")
of transportation downstream of a Delivery Point shall constitute an event of
force majeure provided that Dynegy exercises reasonable efforts to arrange
alternative transportation, or the resumption of the curtailed transportation
arrangements, as soon as possible following its discovery of the curtailment
of downstream transportation. In that event, Dynegy will consult with
Producer and endeavor to agree upon a plan of action to avoid further
curtailment of Committed Gas from that Delivery Point.

X.   TERM

     10.1 TERM. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an
initial term ending at the end of the Gas Day ending on September 1, 2006, and
for additional five year terms

                                       29
<Page>

thereafter unless terminated by either Party by giving written notice of
termination no later than sixty days prior to the last day in the
then-effective term.

     10.2 EARLY TERMINATION. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, either Party may
terminate this Agreement as follows:

          (a) In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by either
Party, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty days'
prior written notice to the breaching Party (which notice shall specify in
detail the nature of the breach and the steps necessary to cure the breach),
unless the breaching Party, within thirty days after receipt of the
non-breaching Party's notice, cures the breach and agrees in writing to
indemnify the non-breaching Party against all direct damages arising from the
breach (such damages to be determined by agreement of the Parties, or in the
event the Parties are unable to agree, by arbitration in accordance with
Section XII below). For purposes of this Section, a material breach shall be
any failure to perform under this Agreement which is not excused by force
majeure and which exposes the non-breaching Party to economic loss in an
amount which the breaching Party cannot reasonably be expected to pay in
money damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dynegy's unexcused failure to
receive and purchase Producer's available Committed Gas produced from a
specific Source of Supply, which failure results in the shut-in of a
Producer-operated well(s) for a period of five or more consecutive days, or
which failure results in the shut-in of one or more Producer-operated well(s)
for a cumulative period of at least twenty days (which need not be
consecutive) in any calendar year shall be conclusively deemed to be a
material breach of this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence a
shut-in of a well shall be deemed to begin on the first Business Day
following Dynegy's receipt of Producer's notice of a shut-in, which notice
shall be effective if delivered orally, followed by written confirmation, and
shall be deemed to end on the earlier of (i) the resumption of production or
(ii) 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the day Producer receives Dynegy's notice of
the resumption of purchases if such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m.
Central Time or 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the next day if Producer receives
Dynegy's notice after 1:00 p.m. Central Time. For purposes of quantifying
Dynegy's right to cure in the event of a material breach due to a shut-in,
Producer's direct damages on each day of the shut-in are deemed to be an
amount calculated by multiplying (x) the quantity of Committed Gas shut-in
times (y) the FOM Commodity Price applicable to such Committed Gas. In the
event Dynegy pays such amount to Producer, the quantity of Committed Gas
shut-in and forming the basis of such amount shall be deemed to be purchased
for purposes of Section 4.6 above, and in instances where Dynegy pays amounts
to Producer pursuant to Section 4.6 prior to the payment of amounts pursuant
to this Section 10.2, the payment pursuant to Section 4.6 shall be reduced to
the extent required by this Section 10.2. If one Party alleges a material
breach under this Section and the other Party disputes that allegation, the
matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section XII below
and the non-breaching Party's termination notice shall be suspended pending
the decision of the arbitrators. If the arbitrators conclude that a material
breach has occurred, the termination notice shall become effective thirty
days after issuance of the arbitrators' written decision.

        (b) A Party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party
(the Affected Party) is: (i) dissolved (other than pursuant to a
consolidation, acquisition, amalgamation, merger, or other reorganization not
arising from bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings); or (ii) institutes or

                                       30

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

  has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or
  bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or
  similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its
  winding up a liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition
  instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition results in a
  judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for its winding
  up or liquidation.

XI.  RENEGOTIATION, PRICE REDETERMINATION AND ARBITRATION

     11.1 RENEGOTIATION AND PRICE REDETERMINATION. During the term of this
  Agreement, Producer and Dynegy will have the right to request that the terms
  and conditions of this Agreement be renegotiated and that the various pricing
  mechanisms be redetermined. This Article XI establishes the procedures
  applicable to such renegotiations and redeterminations.

     11.2 LIMITS ON ARBITRATION. Nothing in this Article XI shall be construed
  to limit a Party's ability to present issues for discussion under the Alliance
  Agreement. However, this Article XI shall limit Producer and Dynegy's rights
  to institute the renegotiation or price redetermination process and invoke
  arbitration under this Agreement or pursuant to the Alliance Agreement and the
  Parties agree that no other provision of this Agreement or of the Alliance
  Agreement shall be construed to supersede or modify the limitations on
  arbitration contained in this Article XI.

     11.3 PRICE REDETERMINATION. It is the intent of Producer and Dynegy that
  the FOM Commodity Price and the Swing Gas Commodity Price of Committed Gas
  delivered at a given Delivery Point under this Agreement reflect the
  prevailing fair market value of spot gas at that Delivery Point. Producer and
* Dynegy agree that the [REDACTED] designated in Exhibit "A" and corresponding
* [REDACTED] represent an accurate measure of the fair market value of spot
* gas because [REDACTED]. In the event Producer or Dynegy believes in good
* faith that the [REDACTED] or the corresponding [REDACTED], or both, no longer
  represent an accurate measure of the fair market value of spot gas, that
  Party may seek a price redetermination in accordance with the following
  procedure.

          11.3.1 SCOPE OF PRICE REDETERMINATION. Price redeterminations pursuant
* to this Section 11.3 are limited to replacing one or more of the [REDACTED]
* or [REDACTED] with a different measure of the fair market value of spot gas
  that is not based on prices reported in a commercial publication. This
  Section 11.3 does not apply in instances where: (i) Producer desires to
  select a different index price for purposes of calculating the FOM Commodity
  Price for split connect Committed Gas in accordance with Section 4.4
* above; (ii) Producer or Dynegy desires to replace a [REDACTED] or
* a [REDACTED] with a different [REDACTED] or [REDACTED]; or (iii)
  where Producer or Dynegy desires to modify or amend the Index Price
  Adjustments necessary to arrive at a FOM Commodity Price or Swing Gas
  Commodity Price.

          11.3.2 PRICE REDETERMINATION PROCEDURE. In the event Producer or
  Dynegy seeks a price redetermination pursuant to this Section 11.3, such Party
  (the "initiating Party") may notify

                                       31
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

  the other Party (the "non-initiating Party") in writing, specifying the
* [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] at issue and describing (i) the proposed
  replacement measure of the fair market value of spot gas at the
  location; and (ii) the proposed effective date of the replacement measure
  of fair market value. If the non-initiating Party agrees with the replacement
  measure of the fair market value of spot gas and its effective date,
  Exhibit "A" shall be amended to reflect the replacement and its effective
  date. If the non-initiating Party does not agree with the proposed
  replacement measure of the fair market value of spot gas or its
  effective date, then within thirty days after delivery of the initiating
  Party's initial notice each Party shall designate a representative with
  authority to negotiate and agree upon a replacement measure of the fair market
  value of spot gas. The representatives shall then meet and attempt in good
  faith to reach agreement. If the representatives have not reached agreement
  within sixty days after delivery of the initiating Party's initial notice,
  then the initiating Party may elect to have the issue resolved by binding
  arbitration in accordance with Section 11.3.3 below. If a replacement measure
  of the fair market value of spot gas is established, either by agreement of
  the Parties or through arbitration, such replacement measure of the fair
  market value of spot gas shall be reflected in an appropriate amendment to
  Exhibit "A". A Party receiving a price redetermination request under this
  Section 11.3 may respond by requesting a replacement measure of the fair
  market value of spot gas at any other applicable location(s) in accordance
  with the procedure set forth in this Section 11.3.2. To the extent feasible,
  both the initial request and any responsive request shall be addressed in the
  same negotiating sessions and/or arbitration so as to minimize the
  administrative cost of resolving all pricing issues. Notwithstanding anything
  in this Section to the contrary, in the event a replacement measure of the
  fair market value of spot gas is determined by arbitration, the Party invoking
  the arbitration (or Parties if both Parties invoked the arbitration) shall not
  be entitled to invoke arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.3.2 during a
  period of twelve full months following the date of the arbitration award.

          11.3.3 ARBITRATION OF PRICE REDETERMINATION. If any price
  redetermination is presented for arbitration under this Section 11.3, the
  Parties shall follow the arbitration procedure outlined in Section 11.8 below,
  except as follows: In any arbitration under this Section 11.3, each Party
  shall submit to the arbitration panel such Party's proposed measure of the
  fair market value of spot gas at the applicable location. The arbitrators
  shall select from the two proposals the one which they feel most closely
  reflects the fair market value of spot gas at the applicable location as
  evidenced by prices paid by willing buyers and sellers under no compulsion to
  buy or sell and, in the case of the replacement of a Published Index Price,
  pursuant to contracts providing for a one month obligation to buy and sell
  spot gas. Any Premium that may be payable under this Agreement shall not be
  taken into consideration by the arbitrators in their deliberations. The
  arbitrators must select the proposal of one of the Parties and may not average
  the two proposals or otherwise craft an alternative proposal. The arbitrators,
  in the absence of unusual extenuating circumstances, shall be required to
  render their decision in writing within ten Business Days after the conclusion
  of the arbitration proceeding. The cost of any arbitration under this
  Section 11.3 shall be borne as follows:

          (i) Each Party shall bear the costs of its own attorneys, witnesses
  and representatives; and

                                       32

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

          (ii) The remaining costs of the arbitration, including the fees of all
  arbitrators, the costs of securing a location for the arbitration, and any
  similar costs, shall be borne equally by the Parties.

          11.3.4 EFFECTIVE DATE. The effective date of any replacement measure
  of the fair market value of spot gas selected by arbitration shall be the
  first day of the month following the month in which the arbitrators' decision
  is rendered.

     11.4 SUBSTITUTION OF PUBLISHED INDEX PRICES. At any time during the term of
  this Agreement, in the event (i) Producer or Dynegy believes in good faith
* that a [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] does not reflect the fair market value of
  spot gas at the applicable location; (ii) also believes in good faith that
  a different index price in the same commercial publication or in a different
  commercial publication does reflect such fair market value; and (iii) the
  Parties have been unable to reach agreement on an amendment to Exhibit "A"
  as contemplated in Section 4.1 above, the Party requesting the substitution
  of a new index price shall be entitled to present the issue to arbitration
  in accordance with the procedure established in Section 11.3 above. In the
* event a new [REDACTED] at a specific location is determined by arbitration,
  neither Party shall be entitled to invoke arbitration for the purpose of
* selecting a new [REDACTED] at that location during a period of twelve full
  months following the date of the arbitration award. The same limitation
* shall apply if a new [REDACTED] at a given location is determined by
  arbitration. This Section 11.4 does not apply to instances where Producer
* desires to change the [REDACTED] selected in respect to split connect
  Committed Gas pursuant to Section 4.4 above. In such instances, if the
* Parties are unable to agree on a change, the selected [REDACTED] shall
  remain in place for the full period selected by Producer.

     11.5 UNAVAILABILITY OF PUBLISHED INDEX PRICES. If at any time during the
* term of this Agreement a [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] is no longer published
  and in the event Producer and Dynegy are unable to agree on a replacement
  index price, either Party may submit the issue to arbitration in
  accordance with the procedure established in Section 11.3 above, with the
  following modifications. There shall be no limit on the number of times a
* Party may invoke arbitration. The effective date of the replacement [REDACTED]
* or [REDACTED] shall be the day after the previous index price became
  unavailable  and the arbitrators shall make their award retroactive to
  such date. During the pendency of the Parties' attempt to agree on a
* replacement [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] and the subsequent arbitration
  proceeding, the commodity price of the Committed Gas affected by the
  unavailability of the index price shall be based on the last available
* [REDACTED] or [REDACTED]. The amounts paid by Dynegy to Producer
  during such period shall be adjusted to reflect the retroactive implementation
  of the replacement index price.

     11.6 DISPUTE RESOLUTION - OTHER PRICE ISSUES. In the event the Parties are
unable to agree on any factor required to calculate the commodity price of
Committed Gas that will be produced from a new source of supply, or are unable
to agree on the Index Price Adjustments applicable to Committed Gas from an
existing Source of Supply, the issue shall be eligible for arbitration in
accordance with Section 11.8 below.

                                       33
<Page>

     11.7 RENEGOTIATION OF THE PREMIUM. Neither Producer nor Dynegy shall be
entitled to request a renegotiation of the Premium paid in accordance with
Article IV above and to invoke arbitration in the event the Parties are unable
to agree prior to September 1, 2006.

     11.8. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

          11.8.1 DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES. Except as otherwise provided in
the penultimate sentence of this Section 11.8.1, any dispute, controversy or
claim, of any and every kind or type, whether based on contract, tort, statute,
regulations, or otherwise, arising out of, connected with, or relating in any
way to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the obligations of the
Parties or the operations carried out under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any dispute as to the existence, validity, construction,
interpretation, negotiation, performance, non-performance, breach, termination
or enforceability of this Agreement (a "Dispute") shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 11.8, which shall be
the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such Disputes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.8 shall not be applicable to any
exercise of Producers' or Dynegy's rights under Section 7.8 of this Agreement or
under the Security Agreement referenced therein, and Producers and Dynegy
reserve all available remedies with respect thereto, including, but not limited
to, self help, setoff, or recourse to any court having jurisdiction; provided,
however, that this Section 11.8 shall apply to, and shall be the sole means of
resolving any disputes arising from, those provisions of the Security Agreement
that specifically reference these dispute resolution procedures as the intended
remedy.

          11.8.2 NEGOTIATION BETWEEN EXECUTIVES. The Parties shall attempt in
good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation between executives who
have authority to settle the Dispute and who are at a higher level of management
than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this
Agreement. Either Party may give the other Party written notice (a "Dispute
Notice") of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within
thirty days after delivery of a Dispute Notice, the receiving Party shall submit
to the other Party a written response. The Dispute Notice and the response shall
include (a) a statement of each Party's position and a summary of arguments
supporting that position and (b) the name and title of the executive who will
represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive.
Within thirty days after delivery of the 'Dispute Notice, the executives of both
Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as
often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All
reasonable requests for information made by one Party to the other Party will be
honored. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 11.8.2 are confidential and
shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of
applicable rules of evidence.

          11.8.3 MEDIATION. If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation
within forty-five days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, or if the Parties
fail to meet within thirty days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, the
Parties shall endeavor to settle the Dispute by mediation under the then current
Mediation Procedure of the Center for Public Resources' Institute for Dispute
Resolution ("CPR"). Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties will select a mediator
from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals.

          11.8.4 BINDING ARBITRATION. Any Dispute which has not been resolved by
a non-binding procedure as provided in Sections 11.8.2 and 11.8.3 within ninety
days of the initiation of such procedure, shall be settled by arbitration in
accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration in effect on the
date of this Agreement (the "CPR Rules"), by three arbitrators, none of whom
shall be appointed by either Party but shall be appointed by CPR; provided,
however, that if either Party will not participate in a non-binding procedure as
provided in Sections 11.8.2 and 11.8.3, the other Party may initiate arbitration
before expiration of the above ninety day period. The arbitration shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, and judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Houston, Texas. Any
award or judgment rendered by the arbitrators shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all
restrictions, prohibitions or limitations on damages or remedies set forth in
this Agreement.

          11.8.5 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. The statute of limitations of the State
of Texas applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the
commencement of an arbitration hereunder, except that no defenses shall be
available based upon the passage of time during any negotiation or mediation
called for by the preceding Sections of this Section 11.8.

          11.8.6 COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ARBITRATION. The arbitration panel may
apportion the costs of arbitration between or among the Parties in such manner
as it deems reasonable, taking into account the circumstances of the case, the
conduct of the Parties during the proceeding, and the result of arbitration,
provided however, in any event, each Party shall bear the expense and cost of
its own attorneys and witnesses.

XII. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND AUTHORIZATIONS

     12.1 APPLICATION OF LAW AND REGULATION. This Agreement shall be subject to
all valid and applicable laws of the United States and to the applicable valid
rules, regulations or orders of any regulatory agency or governmental authority
having jurisdiction, and the Parties shall be entitled to regard all applicable
laws, rules and regulations (federal, state or local) as valid and may act in
accordance with them until such time as they may be declared invalid by final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and such judgment is not subject
to appeal.

     12.2 AUTHORIZATION AND REGULATORY FILINGS. Upon execution of this
Agreement, each Party agrees to seek such government certificates, permits,
licenses and authorizations which, in its sole discretion, it deems necessary to
perform its obligations under this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement,
each Party shall make all filings required by any regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over the activities covered by this Agreement and upon request of
the other Party shall promptly provide copies of such to the other Party.
Neither Party will knowingly enter into agreements nor undertake any activities
or filings that would interfere with or frustrate the other Party's efforts to
obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to fulfill its obligations under this
Agreement.

XIV. NON-ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFER OF INTEREST BY PRODUCER

     14.1 NON-ASSIGNABILITY. Except as provided in Section 14.2 below, neither
this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party under this Agreement are assignable
without the express written consent of the other, which consent may be withheld
in its sole discretion for any reason, except to wholly owned subsidiaries and
affiliates, in which case the assigning entity shall not be relieved of
responsibility for any of its obligations under this Agreement.

     14.2 TRANSFER OF INTEREST. Producer shall have the right to convey all or
any part of any Source(s) of Supply or portion thereof to another entity. Upon
notice from Producer to Dynegy, any property or group of properties that
collectively produce less than 5,000 MMBtu/d and are being transferred to a
single entity in a single transaction will be automatically released from this
Agreement as of the first day of the month following the closing of the
transfer, unless Dynegy has, with prior written consent from Producer, dedicated
such properties to term sales. Producer may withhold its consent to such term
sales only if Producer, at the time of Dynegy's request, has plans to transfer
the properties in question. Should Producer propose (a) to transfer to a single
entity in a single transaction a property or group of properties that
collectively produce 5,000 MMBtu/d or more, or (b) to transfer a property that
has been dedicated to term sales with

                                       37
<Page>

Producer's consent as described above, regardless of production rates (each of
(a) and (b) hereinafter referred to as a "Restricted Transfer"), then Dynegy
shall have the right but not the obligation to continue purchasing the
production from Producer's transferee. As to any such Restricted Transfers,
Dynegy shall have the right to (1) agree, in advance of Producer's efforts to
negotiate a transfer of the property, that the interest transferred will be
released from this Agreement as of the first day of the month following the
closing of the transfer and transferred free of any commitment to Dynegy, or (2)
delay that decision until Dynegy has been notified of the identity of the
transferee. Dynegy will make its written election between options (1) and (2) in
the foregoing sentence within 10 days after Dynegy's receipt of written notice
(which may include e-mail) from Producer of a proposed transfer, and Dynegy's
failure to reply within such 10-day period shall constitute an election by
Dynegy of option (1). If Dynegy elects option (2), Producer will advise the
transferee of Dynegy's rights hereunder and, if Dynegy elects to continue
purchasing the gas from Producer's transferee within 10 days after being
notified in writing (which may include e-mail) of the transferee's identity, the
transferee will be required to sign a gas purchase contract with Dynegy in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit "E", with the pricing to be substantially the
same as provided for in this Agreement. Dynegy's failure to reply in writing
(which may be in the form of electronic mail) within such 10-day period shall
constitute an election by Dynegy not to continue purchasing the gas from
Producer's transferee. Regardless of whether or not Dynegy will be purchasing
gas from Producer's transferee, if gas from the transferred property is priced
under this Agreement pursuant to an Exhibit "A" sheet specifying that imbalances
on a gathering or transport agreement are being managed under a physical
imbalance settlement process, Producer will not assign that physical imbalance
to its transferee but will resolve the imbalance directly with Dynegy. For
purposes of this Section, the level of production from any property or group of
properties shall be determined based upon the average production from such
property(ies) during the six-month period ending on the last day of the month
prior to the month in which Dynegy is notified of Producer's intent to transfer
the interest. All information provided to Dynegy by Producer pursuant to this
Section regarding proposed transfers shall be considered confidential
information subject to the provisions of Section 15.4 below.

XV.  MISCELLANEOUS

     15.1 WAIVER. No waiver by either Producer or Dynegy of any default of the
other under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any future default,
whether of like or different character or nature.

     15.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the Parties, and is intended to be a final, complete, integrated and exclusive
expression of their agreement and its terms. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by a
written instrument executed by the Parties.

     15.3 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO, AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS, BUT NOT THE LAWS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW, OF
THE STATE OF TEXAS.

                                       38
<Page>

     15.4 CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Party agrees that the terms of this Agreement
and any information provided under this Agreement shall be kept confidential by
it and shall not be disclosed to any third Party without first obtaining the
written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition, any information designated as confidential by one Party and
provided to the other during the term of any agreement shall be kept
confidential by the receiving Party and shall not be disclosed to any third
party for a period of three years from the date of receipt without first
obtaining the written consent of the other, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. This Section shall not prevent a Party from making any
disclosure required by law, regulation or SEC disclosure rules (in such case,
the disclosing Party shall notify the non-disclosing Party as soon as
practicable of the pendency, nature and content of the planned disclosure) or
from disclosing any information which is already in the public domain.

     15.5 LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. In no event shall either Party be liable for
punitive, exemplary, consequential or incidental damages arising from any breach
or default under this Agreement, indemnification under this Agreement or from
any act or omission under or in connection with this Agreement.

     15.6 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. In
such an event, the Parties agree to make a good faith effort to replace the
affected provisions.

     15.7 PRIOR AGREEMENT SUPERSEDED. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement
shall supersede and replace that certain Natural Gas Purchase and Sale Agreement
effective January 1, 1998 between CUSA and Dynegy, as such agreement was
previously amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and
agree that all terms and conditions of said prior agreement shall remain fully
operative and enforceable with respect to gas delivered and obligations incurred
under said agreement prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested"

                                   EXHIBIT "C"

                   To Natural Gas Purchase and Sale Agreement
      Between Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Texaco Exploration and Production Inc.,
             Texaco Natural Gas Inc., and Dynegy Marketing and Trade

                                    SECURITY

       A. SECURITY OBLIGATION. After Producer submits its Availability Report
   applicable to the first month of deliveries of Committed Gas under the
   Natural Gas Purchase and Sale Agreement to which this Exhibit "C" is attached
   (the "NGPSA") beginning on or after the Transition Date (as defined in
   Section 7.8.2 of the NGPSA), and in any event prior to the Transition Date,
   Dynegy shall furnish to Producer "SECURITY" (as hereinafter defined) and
   maintain the SECURITY in effect, subject to adjustment as provided in
   Paragraph C, below. The SECURITY shall be provided in a form acceptable to
   Producer and the surety company or companies, in the case of surety bonds,
   and acceptable to Producer and the issuing bank or banks, in the case of
   irrevocable standby letters of credit. The aggregate face amount of the
   SECURITY shall be calculated as follows:

       B. INITIAL AMOUNT OF SECURITY. The face amount of the SECURITY to be
*  posted by Dynegy prior to the * Transition Date shall equal [REDACTED],

       Where:

   1. V shall equal the average daily volume of Committed Gas designated for
   delivery by Producer to Dynegy in Producer's initial Availability Report
   submitted in accordance with Section 2.2 of the NGPSA and applicable to the
   month beginning on the Transition Date; and

   2. RP shall mean the REFERENCE PRICE, which shall equal the volume weighted
   average FOM Commodity Price of Committed Gas to be delivered by Producer to
   Dynegy at the Delivery Points designated in the applicable initial
   Availability Report during the month immediately preceding the Transition
   Date. For purposes of calculating the volume weighted average FOM Commodity
   Price, the average daily volume of Committed Gas designated for delivery at
   each Delivery Point by Producer to Dynegy in Producer's initial Availability
   Report applicable to the month beginning on the Transition Date will be used
   for weighing purposes.

*      C. MONTHLY ADJUSTMENTS TO AMOUNT OF SECURITY. Beginning on [REDACTED],
*  the face amount of the SECURITY to be posted by Dynegy shall be adjusted to
*  equal [REDACTED],

         Where:

*  1.  [REDACTED] shall equal [REDACTED];

                                        1
<Page>

                       "Confidential Treatment Requested

*  2.  [REDACTED] shall mean the [REDACTED], which shall equal [REDACTED].
*  For purposes of calculating [REDACTED];

*  3. [REDACTED] shall equal the [REDACTED]; and

*  4. [REDACTED] shall equal [REDACTED], upon at least fifteen days' prior
   written notice to Dynegy.

     D. PROCEDURES. Beginning on the 20th day of the month immediately preceding
the Transition Date, and on the twentieth day of each succeeding month during
the term of the NGPSA, the aggregate face amount of the SECURITY shall be
calculated in accordance with the formula set forth above. If an adjustment in
the aggregate face amount of the SECURITY is required, within five Business Days
following the twentieth day of the month Dynegy shall at its sole option either:
(a) authorize the issuing surety company or companies, or bank or banks, as the
case may be, to amend the aggregate face amount of the SECURITY to reflect the
proper adjustment; (b) deliver replacement SECURITY in an aggregate face amount
determined in accordance with the formula set forth above; or (c) deliver
additional SECURITY in a face amount that, when added to the aggregate face
amount of any SECURITY in effect at that time, equals the face amount determined
in accordance with the formula set forth above. Upon receipt of replacement
SECURITY complying with the requirements of this Exhibit "C", Producer shall
return any superseded SECURITY to the issuing bank or banks in the case of
letters of credit, or to the issuing surety company or companies in the case of
surety bond(s), for cancellation.

     E. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SURETY BONDS. In addition, in the event that
SECURITY is posted in the form of one or more surety bonds, each surety bond
shall provide for the payment of interest to Producer on unpaid amounts
calculated in accordance with Article VII of the NGPSA, and in an aggregate
amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the face amount of the surety bond. IF
MORE THAN ONE SURETY COMPANY PROVIDES A BOND AS SECURITY, EACH SURETY COMPANY
SHALL BE PROPORTIONATELY LIABLE TO PRODUCER, SUCH PROPORTIONATE SHARE DETERMINED
BY DIVIDING THE FACE AMOUNT OF THE SURETY BOND ISSUED BY SUCH SURETY COMPANY BY
THE AGGREGATE FACE AMOUNT OF THE SURETY BONDS OUTSTANDING.
