<PAGE>
     SECTION  1.04     WARRANTY.

          (a)     THE  WARRANTY.  ECA  and Assignor warrant to the Assignee, its
successors  and assigns, that the Subject Interests are free of all Encumbrances
created  by,  through,  or  under  Assignor,  but  not otherwise, except for the
Permitted  Encumbrances,  and  that  Assignor's title to (i) the Producing Wells
entitles  Assignor to a Net Revenue Interest in each such Producing Well no less
than  the  Net  Revenue Interest for that Producing Well as set forth in Exhibit
A-1, and (ii) the Subject Development Lands is sufficient to allow it to satisfy
the  Total  Drilling  Commitment  by  the Drilling Obligation Completion Date in
accordance  with  the  Development  Agreement.

          (b)     SOLE  REMEDY.  In  the  event  of a post-Closing breach of the
foregoing  warranty for any Subject Interest (pre-Closing breaches thereof being
remedied  pursuant  to  Section  3(a)(ii)  of  the  Term Royalty Agreement), the
Assignee's sole remedy shall be to receive payment for each applicable month, as
damages,  subject  to offset as provided below and without interest (except such
interest payable under this Conveyance on payments made after the applicable due
date  as  described in Section 5.02 below), of an amount equal to the difference
between  (i)  Term  Royalty Gas (or the proceeds from the sale thereof) that the
Assignee  would  have received with respect to a Well in the applicable month if
the  warranty  had  not been breached and (ii) Term Royalty Gas (or the proceeds
from  the  sale  thereof)  that the Assignee actually received during that month
with  respect to that Well, to the extent such difference is attributable to the
breach  of  the  warranty,  but  not  to  the  extent  that  such  difference is
attributable  to  any  other  cause.

          (c)     RIGHT  OF  OFFSET.  If  any Subject Interest owned by Assignor
ever  proves to be larger than the Subject Interest reflected in the exhibits to
this  Conveyance  and if, as a result, the Assignee receives a greater amount of
Term  Royalty  Gas  (or the proceeds from the sale thereof) with respect to that
Subject  Interest than the Assignee would otherwise have received if the Subject
Interest  had  been  the  size  warranted, then such increased amounts, whenever
received  by  the  Assignee,  may  be  treated by Assignor as a credit or offset
(without  interest)  against  any  amounts payable to the Assignee under Section
1.04(b).

          (d)     DISCLAIMER.  EXCEPT  FOR  THE  WARRANTIES  OF  TITLE  GIVEN IN
SECTION  1.04(a)  AND  THE  REPRESENTATIONS  MADE IN ANY AGREEMENT TO WHICH THIS
CONVEYANCE  IS  SUBJECT,  ASSIGNOR  MAKES  THIS  CONVEYANCE AND ASSIGNS THE TERM
ROYALTY  INTEREST  WITHOUT  RECOURSE, COVENANT OR WARRANTY OF TITLE OF ANY KIND,

RATES  OR  THE  QUALITY,  QUANTITY OR VOLUME OF THE RESERVES OF HYDROCARBONS, IF
ANY, ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SUBJECT INTERESTS, (ii) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY
OF  MERCHANTABILITY,  (iii)  ANY  IMPLIED  OR  EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (iv) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS
OR  SAMPLES  OF MATERIALS, AND (v) ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES EXISTING UNDER
ANY  APPLICABLE  LEGAL  REQUIREMENT;  IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF BOTH THE
ASSIGNEE  AND  ASSIGNOR  THAT,  EXCEPT  AS  OTHERWISE PROVIDED, THE TERM ROYALTY
INTEREST  IS  HEREBY ASSIGNED TO THE ASSIGNEE ON AN "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS" BASIS
WITH  ALL  FAULTS,  AND  THAT  THE  ASSIGNEE  HAS MADE OR CAUSED TO BE MADE SUCH
INSPECTIONS AS THE ASSIGNEE DEEMS APPROPRIATE. ASSIGNOR AND ASSIGNEE AGREE THAT,
TO  THE  EXTENT  REQUIRED  BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE
DISCLAIMERS  OF  CERTAIN  WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION ARE "CONSPICUOUS"
DISCLAIMERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT.

          (e)     SUBSTITUTION  OF  WARRANTY.  This Conveyance is made with full
substitution and subrogation of the Assignee in and to all covenants of warranty
by  Third  Persons  (other than Affiliates of Assignor) heretofore given or made
with  respect  to  the  Wells  and  the Subject Interests or any part thereof or
interest  therein.

     SECTION 1.05     RELEASE OF EXCESS ACREAGE.  After the drilling obligations
in  Section  2.01(a)  of the Development Agreement have been satisfied, Assignee
shall,  on  request,  execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Assignor a recordable
instrument  (reasonably  acceptable  to  Assignor)  that  (a)  releases the Term
Royalty  Interest  with respect to all Subject Development Lands and (b) assigns
such  Subject  Development  Lands  to Assignor, except such portion thereof that
covers  and  pertains to all Term Royalty Gas in, under and that may be produced
from  the  Wellbores  of  any Completed Development Well.  In addition, upon the
completion  of  any  Development  Well  or  Completed Development Well, Assignee
shall,  on  request,  execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Assignor a recordable
instrument (reasonably acceptable to Assignor) that stipulates and confirms that
Assignee  has  no  interest  in  any Development Well that does not constitute a
Completed  Development Well, and with respect to each Completed Development Well
stipulates  and  confirms that Assignee's interest in such Completed Development
Well  is limited to the Term Royalty Interest in such Completed Development Well
as  necessary  to give full effect to the Term Royalty Interest conveyed hereby.
Any such confirmation and stipulation shall be made subject to the provisions of
Section  12.02  below.

          included  within  the Monthly Distribution Amount until received by or
          returned  to  Assignor, as applicable. In addition, to the extent that
          Assignor  receives  interest  on  such  payment, Assignor shall pay to
          Assignee  its  proportionate  share  of  such  interest.

                         CALCULATION OF TERM ROYALTY GAS

     SECTION  3.01     CALCULATION.  Term  Royalty  Gas  shall  be calculated in
accordance  with  the  following  formula:

          With  respect  to  any  Producing  Well:

          NINETY  PERCENT  (90%)  X (ASSIGNOR'S NET SHARE OF GAS PRODUCED DURING
          THAT  MONTH).

          FIFTY  PERCENT  (50%)  X  (ASSIGNOR'S NET SHARE OF GAS PRODUCED DURING
          THAT  MONTH).

It  is  understood  and agreed that with respect to Completed Development Wells,
the  Term  Royalty  Interest  will  be  calculated  on the basis that Assignor's
Working  Interest in the Subject Development Lands is not burdened by Production
Burdens that exceed 12.5%.  In the event that Assignor's Working Interest in any
of the Completed Development Wells is subject to Production Burdens in excess of
12.5%,  such excess burdens will be the sole responsibility of Assignor and paid
out  of Assignor's fifty percent (50%) interest in the Subject Development Lands
retained  by  Assignor  hereunder.

     SECTION  3.02     CHARGEABLE  COSTS.

          (a)     DEFINITION.  Subject  to  Section 5.04 hereof, for each month,
"Chargeable  Costs"  means  the  sum of (i) Taxes, (ii) the Post Production Cost
 -----------------
Charge  and  (iii)  any  Excess  Costs.  All  other  costs,  including,  without

the  drilling,  testing,  completing,  equipping  for  production, operating and
plugging and abandoning of the Wells shall be borne solely by Assignor and shall
not  be  included  as  Chargeable  Costs.

                           -----
production,  severance,  sales,  gathering,  windfall  profit, excise, and other
taxes,  except  income  and  franchise  taxes,  assessed  or levied (i) on or in
connection  with  the  Subject  Interests,  the  Term  Royalty  Interest,  this
Conveyance,  production of Subject Gas, Assignor's Net Share of Gas, or the Term
Royalty Gas (or the proceeds from the sale thereof), or (ii) against Assignor as

                                                         ----------------------
Charge"  means  those  costs  incurred  by  Assignor  (including,  internal post
------
production  costs  and Third Person post production costs) to gather, transport,
compress,  process,  treat,  dehydrate and market the Subject Gas, including any
costs as may be required to make merchantable and to deliver such Gas to market;
provided, any internal post production costs of Assignor and its Affiliates that
are  part  of  the  Post  Production  Cost  Charge shall not exceed the weighted
average post production costs of all Third Parties in the area where the Subject
Gas  is  being produced for similar services; and further shall not exceed, on a
weighted average basis, such internal costs as are deducted by Assignor from its
payments  of royalties to the owners of the royalty interests in the Subject Gas
and  provided,  further,  with  respect  to  marketing costs, only Non-Affiliate
marketing  costs  shall  be  included,  and  marketing costs of Assignor and its
Affiliates  with  respect  to any Subject Gas will be specifically excluded from
the  Post Production Cost Charge.  Any costs, fees or expenses that are properly
charged  or  allocated  to the Term Royalty Gas pursuant to another provision of
this  Conveyance  (including,  as provided for in the definition of Subject Gas)
shall  not  be  included  as  part  of  the  Post  Production Cost Charge.  (ii)
Notwithstanding  the provisions of Section 3.02(c)(i) above, for the period from
June  10,  2005  until  June 10, 2006, Assignor's internal post production costs
relating  to  Assignor's  facilities  in existence as of June 10, 2005 shall not
exceed  the  amounts  being charged by Assignor as of June 10, 2005, and for the
period  from  June 10, 2006 until June 10, 2010 such Post Production Cost Charge

currently  in  use  by  the  percentage  increase  recommended  by the All Urban
Consumers  (CPI-U)  -  U.  S.  City  Average  CPI,  or  a  comparable  index.

     SECTION  3.03     CALCULATION  OF  TERM  ROYALTY  PROCEEDS.  Term  Royalty
Proceeds  shall  be calculated by multiplying the volume of Term Royalty Gas (on
an  mcf  basis)  for the applicable month by the Sales Price less the Chargeable
Costs  associated  with  such  Term  Royalty  Gas  for  the  applicable  month.

                                   ARTICLE IV

(including  the  Term Royalty Gas) to (a) obtain the best available market price
in  the  area for such Gas and (b) to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable,
full  payment  for such Gas; provided, however that it shall not be considered a
breach  of  Assignor's marketing duty or standard of conduct (i) for Assignor to
market  such  Gas  to an Affiliate of Assignor, so long as Assignor receives the
applicable  Sales  Price therefor, which in any event shall not be less than the
volume  weighted  average price upon which Assignor pays royalties to the owners
of  the  royalty  interests  in  the  Subject  Gas,  or (ii) for Assignor or its
Affiliates  to  receive  the  Post  Production  Cost  Charge.

agent  and  representative  to  market  and  deliver or cause to be marketed and
delivered all Term Royalty Gas and to collect and receive all payments therefrom
under  any  gas  purchase agreement or contract without deduction (except to the
extent  Chargeable  Costs  are  deducted  for  any  month).  The  appointment of
Assignor  as  the Assignee's agent and representative for such purpose is also a
material  item  of consideration to the Parties in connection with the execution
and  delivery  of this Conveyance.  Assignee may not remove Assignor from office
as  the  Assignee's  agent  and representative, except for cause upon a material
breach  by  Assignor  of  its  duties  to  the  Assignee  under this Conveyance.

          (b)     DUTIES  AND  POWERS.  As  the  Assignee's  agent  and
representative,  Assignor  shall  receive  all payments for the sale of the Term
Royalty  Gas  and  account to Assignee, receive and make all communications with
the  purchaser  of  such  Gas,  and  otherwise act and speak for the Assignee in
connection  with  the  sale  of  the  Term  Royalty Gas.  Third Persons may rely
conclusively  on  the  authority of Assignor to market the Term Royalty Gas, and
with  respect  to Third Persons, the Assignee shall be conclusively bound by the
acts  of Assignor in connection with the sale of Term Royalty Gas.  It shall not
be  necessary  for  Assignee  to  join Assignor in the execution of any division
order,  transfer  order, or other instrument, agreement, or document relating to
the  sale  of  the  Term  Royalty  Gas.  Third  Persons may pay all Term Royalty
Proceeds for the sale of such Gas directly to Assignor, without the necessity of
any joinder by or consent of Assignee or any inquiry into the use or disposition
of  such  proceeds  by  Assignor.

          (c)     PROHIBITED  ACTS.  Assignor  may  not  act  or  speak  for the
Assignee  on  any  matter,  except  as  otherwise  specifically provided in this
Conveyance,  the  Term  Royalty  Agreement  or  the  Development  Agreement.

          (d)     STANDARD  OF CONDUCT.  In exercising its powers and performing
its  duties  as  the  Assignee's agent and representative, Assignor shall act in
good  faith  and  in  accordance  with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard,
consistent with Assignor's prior practices.  It shall not be a violation of such
standard  of conduct for Assignor (i) to sell Assignor's Net Share of Gas or the
Term  Royalty  Gas  to  an  Affiliate  pursuant to any gas purchase agreement or
contract, or (ii) to delegate some or all of Assignor's duties as the Assignee's
agent  and  representative to its Affiliates so long as in either of such events
such  Affiliates  perform  in  good  faith and in accordance with the Reasonably
Prudent  Operator  Standard,  with Assignor remaining liable to the Assignee for
the  performance  of  such  Affiliates.

          (e)     TERMINATION  OF  AUTHORITY.  Assignor  may  not  resign as the
Assignee's  agent  and  representative  without the prior written consent of the
Assignee,  except  that  Assignor  may  resign  as  the  Assignee's  agent  and
representative  without  such  consent  with  respect  to  any Subject Interests
Transferred  by  Assignor  in  accordance with the terms of this Conveyance.  If
such  Transfer is in connection with Subject Interests which are burdened by the
Term Royalty Interest, Assignor must cause the purchaser to assume the duties of
the  Assignee's  agent and representative with respect to such Subject Interests
acquired by that purchaser and to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV.

     SECTION 4.03     SALE AND DELIVERY OF SUBJECT GAS.  Assignor (while serving
as  the  Assignee's  agent  and  representative)  shall sell or cause to be sold
Assignor's  Net  Share  of Gas (including Term Royalty Gas) and shall deliver or
cause  to  be delivered Assignor's Net Share of Gas (including Term Royalty Gas)
to  the  purchasers thereof into the pipelines to which the Wells producing such
Gas  are  connected.

     SECTION  4.04     PROCESSING.  Assignor may process Assignor's Net Share of
Gas  (including  Term Royalty Gas) to remove liquid and liquefiable hydrocarbons
and may commit any of the Subject Interests (including the Term Royalty Interest
attributable  thereto)  to  an  agreement  for  processing minerals (pursuant to
which,  for  example,  the  plant  owner  or  operator receives a portion of the
Subject Gas or plant products therefrom or proceeds of the sale thereof as a fee
for processing), so long as Assignor enters into such processing arrangements in
good  faith  and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard and
consistent  with  Assignor's  prior  practice.  Assignee  shall be bound by such
arrangements,  shall  permit  Assignor's  Net  Share  of Gas (including the Term
Royalty  Gas)  to  be processed by Assignor or its contractor, but shall have no
right  to  any liquid or liquefiable hydrocarbons obtained by such processing or
to  the  proceeds from the sale thereof, except, to the extent Assignor receives
any  such  proceeds  from  the  sale  of any liquid or liquefiable hydrocarbons,
Assignor  shall  pay  to  Assignee  its  proportionate  share  of such proceeds.
Assignee  shall  not,  however,  be  personally  liable  for  any costs or risks
associated  with  such processing operations.  Assignee shall not suffer, either
directly  or  indirectly, any Btu reduction or volume reductions associated with
any such internal processing; provided however, that any Btu reduction or volume
reduction  resulting  from  such  processing  by a Third Party, if any, shall be
passed  through  on  a  proportional  basis  to  Assignee.

1.04(b)  above  (subject  to  the right of set off in Section 1.04(c) above) and
decreased  by  any  Reserved  Amounts  as provided for in Section 5.04 below and
further  decreased  by  any  quarterly  incentive  distribution  due to Assignor
pursuant  to  Section  5.05  below  ("Monthly  Distribution  Amount").

          (c)     NO  SEGREGATED ACCOUNT.  All amounts received by Assignor from
the sale of Assignor's Net Share of Gas and the Term Royalty Gas, as applicable,
for  any month shall be held by Assignor in one of its general bank accounts and
Assignor  will  not be required to maintain a segregated account for such funds.

          (d)     DISPUTED  PROCEEDS.  If Assignor receives any amounts of money
from  the  sale  of  Term  Royalty Gas that is subject to controversy or, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for Assignor, possible controversy, Assignor shall
promptly  deposit  the  money  with  a Third Person escrow agent in a segregated
interest-bearing account.  Such amount shall not be treated as a portion of Term
Royalty  Proceeds  so  long  as  it remains with such escrow agent, but shall be
treated  as  a  portion  of  the  Term  Royalty Proceeds, along with the accrued
interest,  when  received  by  Assignor  from such escrow agent and paid over by
Assignor  to  Assignee.

     SECTION  5.02     INTEREST  ON  PAST  DUE  PAYMENTS.

          (a)     OBLIGATION TO PAY.  Any Term Royalty Proceeds or other amounts
of money not paid by Assignor to Assignee when due shall bear, and Assignor will
pay, interest at the Prime Interest Rate on the overdue amount commencing on the

          (b)     DEFINITION.  "Prime Interest Rate" means the lesser of (i) the
                                -------------------
rate  of  interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo
Bank  as  its  "prime  rate"  in effect at its principal office in New York City
(each  change  in  the  Prime Rate to be effective on the first day of the month
following  the  date  such change is publicly announced), with the understanding
that  such  bank's "prime rate" may be one of several base rates, may serve as a
basis  upon  which  effective  rates  are from time to time calculated for loans
making reference thereto, and may not be the lowest of such bank's base rates or
(ii)  the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable Legal Requirement.

     SECTION  5.03     OVERPAYMENTS  AND  REFUNDS.

          (a)     OVERPAYMENTS.  If  Assignor  ever  pays Assignee more than the
amount  of  money  then  due  and payable to the Assignee under this Conveyance,
Assignee  shall  not be obligated to return the overpayment, but Assignor may at
any  time  thereafter  deduct  from Term Royalty Proceeds and retain for its own
account  an amount equal to the overpayment, plus interest at the Prime Interest
Rate  on  such  amount,  commencing on the sixth (6th) day after the date of the
overpayment  and  ending  on  the date such amount is recovered by Assignor from
Term  Royalty  Proceeds;  provided  however,  that  in  the  event  of  any such
overpayment, Assignor shall promptly provide Assignee with written notice of the
amount of the overpayment and Assignee may, at its election, remit the amount of
the  overpayment  to  Assignor.

          (b)     REFUNDS.  If  Assignor  is  ever  legally obligated to pay any
Third Person, including any gas purchaser or Governmental Authority, any refund,
interest, penalty, or other amount of money, because any payment of Term Royalty
Proceeds  received  by  Assignor for the account of Assignee exceeded the amount
due  or  lawful  under  any  applicable  contract,  Legal  Requirement, or other
obligation, Assignor may thereafter deduct from Term Royalty Proceeds and retain
for  its own account an amount equal to such payment, plus interest at the Prime

                                       16
<PAGE>
Interest  Rate  on  such amount, from the date of the sixth (6th) day after such
payment  to  the  date  such  amount  is recovered by Assignor from Term Royalty
Proceeds; provided however, that in the event of any such refund, Assignor shall
promptly  provide  Assignee  with written notice of the amount of the refund and
Assignee  may,  at  its  election,  remit  the amount of the refund to Assignor.

     SECTION 5.04     RESERVED AMOUNTS.  At any time and from time to time under
this  Conveyance,  Assignor  may  set  aside  from  Term Royalty Proceeds ninety
percent  (90%)  with  respect to Subject Producing Lands and fifty percent (50%)
with  respect  to  Subject  Development  Lands of the amounts determined in good
faith  and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard necessary
to  pay,  when  due,  known  or  anticipated  costs  or liabilities which may be
incurred  in future months with respect to Taxes assessed or levied with respect
to  a  time  period  in excess of a month (the "Reserved Amounts").  As Reserved
                                                ----------------
Amounts  are  expended  by  Assignor  to  cover  applicable  Taxes  in  a month,
Chargeable  Costs  shall  be  reduced  in  such  month by an amount equal to the
Reserved Amounts so expended.  In the event that Assignor overestimates the cost
of  any  Taxes  for  which  it has set aside Reserved Amounts, the excess amount
shall  be  applied against any other Chargeable Costs (which shall be reduced by
an  amount  equal  to such excess Reserved Amounts so expended), or paid as Term
Royalty Proceeds in the month following the month in which it is determined that
Assignor  has  set  aside  excess  Reserved  Amounts.

     SECTION  5.05     INCENTIVE  PAYMENTS  TO  ASSIGNOR.  In  the  event  the
quarterly  aggregate  of  Monthly  Distribution  Amounts  exceeds  the specified
thresholds  for  each  quarter  as  set forth in the Term Royalty Agreement (the
"Distribution  Targets"),  Assignor  will  be  entitled  to  receive a quarterly
incentive  distribution  equal to thirty percent (30%) of the amount, if any, by
which  the  quarterly  aggregate of the Monthly Distribution Amounts exceeds the
Distribution  Target  for  such quarter.  Any such incentive distribution may be
offset  against  the Monthly Distribution Amount due Assignee for the last month
for  the  quarter  in  question.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                               RECORDS AND REPORTS

     SECTION  6.01     BOOKS,  RECORDS,  AND  ACCOUNTS.

          (a)     OBLIGATION  TO  MAINTAIN.  Assignor  shall  maintain  true and
correct  books,  records,  and  accounts  of  (i)  all  transactions required or
permitted  by  this  Conveyance  and (ii) the financial information necessary to
effect  such  transactions,  including  the  financial  information  needed  to
calculate  each  Monthly  Distribution  Amount.

          (b)     RIGHT  OF  INSPECTION.  Assignee or its representative, at the
Assignee's  expense,  may  inspect and copy such books, records, and accounts in
the offices of Assignor during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.

     SECTION  6.02     STATEMENTS.

          (a)     MONTHLY  STATEMENTS.  Together  with  the Monthly Distribution
Amount,  Assignor  shall deliver to Assignee a statement showing the computation
of  Term  Royalty  Gas  and  Term  Royalty  Proceeds.

                                       17
<PAGE>
          (b)     CONTENTS  OF  STATEMENTS.  Each Monthly Statement delivered by
Assignor  to Assignee pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall state on a Well basis,
(i)  the Well identification number, (ii) the product type, (iii) the applicable
production  month, (iv) the total volume on an Mcf basis distributed to the Well
and  net  to the Term Royalty Interest, (v) the applicable Sales Price on an Mcf
basis,  (vi)  the  applicable  Btu  factor  utilized at the pay meter or average
thereof if there are multiple pay meters, (vii) the gross revenue distributed to
the  Well and the net Term Royalty Proceeds, (viii) the net severance taxes, and
(ix)  the  net  Post Production Cost Charges and Excess Costs to the extent such
deductions  are  separately  identified  in  the  Assignor's  Price  Waterhouse
Accounting  System  ("EGOS")  or  comparable  system which has been installed by
Assignor  to  replace  the  EGOS accounting system, (x) the Monthly Distribution
Amount.  Such statement shall further set forth the detail on an aggregate basis
as  to the manner in which any incentive distribution referenced in Section 5.05
is calculated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Assignee and Assignor may mutually
agree  upon  subsequent  modifications  to  the  Monthly Statement, it being the
intent  of  the  Parties that Assignor provide Assignee with reasonably adequate
information to calculate the Monthly Distribution amount to the extent available
electronically  on  Assignor's EGOS accounting system or comparable system which
has  been  installed  by  Assignor  to  replace  the  EGOS  accounting  system.

     SECTION  6.03     ASSIGNEE'S EXCEPTIONS TO MONTHLY STATEMENTS.  All Monthly
Statements  rendered  to  Assignee  by  Assignor  during any calendar year shall
conclusively  be  presumed  to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) months
following  the  end  of  any such calendar year, unless within the said 24-month
period  Assignee takes written exception thereto and makes claim on Assignor for
an  adjustment.  No  adjustment favorable to Assignor shall be made unless it is
made  within  the  same  24-month  period.  Any  such  Notice  must set forth in
reasonable  detail  the specific charges complained of and to which exception is
taken  or the specific credits which should have been made and allowed. Assignor
and  Assignee  shall meet to negotiate and resolve any exceptions within fifteen
(15)  days  of  Assignor's  receipt  of Assignee's Notice thereof. Any items not
agreed  to  at  the  end of the 15-day period may, at either party's request, be
resolved by arbitration, with a nationally recognized accounting firm which does
not  perform work for either Assignee or Assignor acting as arbitrator to decide
all  points  of  disagreement  with  respect  to  such Monthly Statement(s). The
decision  of such firm on all such points shall be binding upon the parties. The
costs  and  expenses  of  such firm shall be borne by the Party against whom the
decision is rendered, or in the event the decision is rendered favorably in part
to  each  Party,  on  a  proportional  basis.

     SECTION  6.04     OTHER  INFORMATION.

          (a)     RESERVE  REPORT  INFORMATION;  DISCLOSURE.  In addition to the
Monthly  Statements  to  be provided under Section 6.02(a) above, Assignor shall
each June and December during the Term also provide Assignee with such technical
information  in  Assignor's  possession  as  reasonably requested by Assignee to
permit  Assignee  to  prepare  its  own  reserve report.  At Assignee's request,
subject  to  applicable  restrictions on disclosure and transfer of information,
Assignor  shall  give  Assignee  and  its  designated representatives reasonable
access  in  Assignor's  office  during  normal business hours to all geological,
Well,  and  production  data  in Assignor's possession or Assignor's Affiliates'
possession,  relating  to  operations  on  the  Subject  Lands.

          (b)     DISCLAIMER  OF  WARRANTIES  AND  LIABILITY.  Assignor makes no
representations  or  warranties  about  the accuracy or completeness of any such
data,  reports, or studies and shall have no liability to Assignee, the Assignee
or  any  other  Person  resulting  from  such  data,  studies,  or  reports.

          (c)     NO  ATTRIBUTION.  Assignee  shall not attribute to Assignor or
such  consulting engineers any reports or studies or the contents thereof in any
securities filings or reports to owners or holders of interests in the Assignee.

          (d)     CONFIDENTIALITY.  All  information  furnished to the Assignee,
its  designated  representatives  and investors pursuant to this Section 6.04 is
confidential and for the sole benefit of such parties and shall not be disclosed
by  Assignee,  its  designated  representatives  or  its  investors to any other
Person,  except  to  the  extent  that  such  information (i) is required in any
report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or
claiming to have jurisdiction over Assignee, (ii) is required in response to any
summons  or  subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iii) is believed to
be  required  in  order  to  comply with any applicable Legal Requirement to the
Assignee, (iv) was publicly available or otherwise known to the recipient at the
time  of  disclosure  or  (v) subsequently becomes publicly available other than
through any act or omission of the recipient; provided, however, with respect to
the  disclosures  with respect to items (i), (ii) and (iii) above, Assignee will
notify  Assignor  prior  to  any such disclosure in order to provide Assignor an
opportunity  to  seek  to  limit  any  such  required  disclosure.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                          NO LIABILITY OF THE ASSIGNEE

     SECTION  7.01     ASSIGNEE  NOT  LIABLE.  Assignee  shall not be personally
liable  or  responsible  under this Conveyance for any cost, risk, liability, or
obligation  associated in any way with the ownership or operation of the Subject
Lands, the Subject Interests, the Wells, or the Subject Gas, or the plugging and
abandoning of any Wells, and Assignor shall hold harmless and indemnify Assignee
from  and  against  any  and  all  such  cost,  risk,  liability  or  obligation
(including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) that
are attributable thereto, including, but not limited to, any liability resulting
from  the  condition  thereof  under  any  federal,  state,  or  local  statute,
regulation,  rule,  ordinance or order relating to the environment or health and
safety).  The  foregoing  sentence  does  not  restrict the right of Assignor to
deduct  Chargeable  Costs  in calculating the volumes of the Term Royalty Gas or
Term  Royalty  Proceeds.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                   OPERATIONS

     SECTION  8.01     STANDARDS  OF  CONDUCT.  Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Conveyance, Assignor shall (a) operate and maintain the Subject
Interests  and  Wells  and  (b)  make  elections  under  each  applicable lease,
operating agreement, unit agreement, contract for development, and other similar
instrument  or agreement (including elections concerning abandonment of any Well
or  release  of  any  Subject Interest) in good faith and in accordance with the
Reasonably  Prudent  Operator  Standard  and  consistent  with  Assignor's prior
practice.

                                       19
<PAGE>
Such  standard  shall be interpreted for purposes of this Conveyance to impose a
duty  upon  Assignor  to  continuously  produce  all  Wells which are capable of
producing  in  paying  quantities,  except  (a)  where  a temporary cessation of
production  is  necessary  in  connection with routine maintenance or for safety
reasons,  or (b) in the event of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, in
which  instance  the  provisions  of  Article  XIII  below  shall  control.

     SECTION  8.02     ABANDONMENT  OF  PROPERTIES.  Nothing in this Conveyance,
other  than the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard, shall obligate Assignor to
continue  to  operate  any Well or to operate or maintain in force or attempt to
maintain in force any Subject Interest when such Well or Subject Interest ceases
to produce, or Assignor determines, in good faith and in accordance with Section
8.01  above,  that such Well or Subject Interest is not capable of producing Gas
in  paying  quantities.  The expiration of a Subject Interest in accordance with
the  terms  and  conditions  applicable  thereto shall not be considered to be a
voluntary  surrender  or  abandonment  thereof.  Any  Well abandoned by Assignor
hereunder  shall  be plugged and abandoned, at Assignor's sole risk and expense,
in  accordance  with  all applicable federal, state and/or local laws, statutes,
rules  and  regulations.

     SECTION  8.03     INSURANCE.  Assignor  may,  but  is  not required by this
Conveyance  to, carry insurance on any Subject Interest or Well, or covering any
risk  with  respect  thereto.  Assignor shall never be liable to the Assignee on
account  of  any  injury  or  loss to the Subject Interests or any Well, whether
insurable or uninsurable, not covered by insurance.  If Assignor elects to carry
insurance,  the premiums shall not be included in Chargeable Costs, and Assignor
shall  retain  all  proceeds  of  such  insurance.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                             POOLING AND UNITIZATION

     SECTION  9.01     POOLING  OF SUBJECT INTERESTS.  Certain Subject Interests
have  been  heretofore  pooled  and  unitized  for  the production of Gas.  Such
Subject  Interests  are  and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the
applicable  pooling and unitization agreements, and the Term Royalty Interest in
each  pooled or unitized Subject Interest shall apply to and affect only the Gas
produced  from  such  units  that  accrues to such Subject Interest under and by
virtue  of  the  applicable  pooling  and  unitization  agreements.

     SECTION  9.02     POOLING  AND  UNITIZATION.

          (a)     RIGHT TO POOL.  Assignor has the exclusive right and power (as
between  Assignor and the Assignee), exercisable only during the period provided
in  Section  9.03, to pool or unitize any Subject Interest and to alter, change,
amend,  or  terminate  any  pooling  or  unitization  agreements  heretofore  or
hereafter  entered  into,  as to all or any part of the Subject Lands, as to any
one  or  more  of the formations or horizons, and as to any Gas, upon such terms
and  provisions  as  Assignor shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.  No
pooling  or  unitizing  of  the Subject Interests pursuant hereto shall have the
effect of reducing Assignor's Net Revenue Interest in any Producing Well to less
than  the Net Revenue Interest for that Producing Well reflected in Exhibit A-1,
and,  in  the  event  Assignor's  Net  Revenue Interest in any Producing Well is
reduced  by  virtue  of any such pooling or unitizing to less than the indicated
interests,

                                       20
<PAGE>
such  reduction shall be deemed a breach of the warranty provided for in Section
1.04(a)  and  Assignee  shall  be entitled to the remedy provided for in Section
1.04(b).

          (b)     EFFECT OF POOLING.  Subject to the limitations on reduction of
Net  Revenue  Interest  set  forth  in  Sections  9.01 and 9.02(a) above, if and
whenever  through the exercise of such right and power, or pursuant to any Legal
Requirement  now  existing  or  hereafter  enacted  or  promulgated, any Subject
Interest is pooled or unitized in any manner, the Term Royalty Interest, insofar
as  it  affects  such  Subject  Interest, shall also be pooled and unitized.  It
shall not be necessary for the Assignee to agree to, consent to, ratify, confirm
or  adopt  any  exercise  of  pooling  or unitization of any Subject Interest by
Assignor.

     SECTION  9.03     APPLICABLE  PERIOD.  Assignor's  powers  and  rights  in
Section 9.02 shall be exercisable only during the period of the life of the last
survivor  of  the  descendants of the signers of the Declaration of Independence
living  on  the  date  of execution hereof, plus twenty-one (21) years after the
death  of  such  last survivor, or the Term of this Conveyance, whichever period
shall  first  expire.

                              GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     SECTION  10.01     LEGAL  REQUIREMENTS.  All  obligations of Assignor under
this  Conveyance are, and shall be, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements
and  the  instruments, documents, and agreements creating the Subject Interests.

     SECTION 10.02     FILINGS.  Assignor shall use its reasonable discretion in
making  filings  for  itself and on behalf of the Assignee with any Governmental
Authority  having  jurisdiction  with  respect  to matters affecting the Subject
Interests, the Subject Lands, the Wells or the Subject Gas.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                    ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF SUBJECT INTERESTS

     SECTION  11.01     ASSIGNMENT BY ASSIGNOR SUBJECT TO TERM ROYALTY INTEREST.

          (a)     RIGHT  TO  SELL.  Assignor  may  not  sell  any Subject Lands,
Subject Interests and/or Wells prior to the time that Assignor has fulfilled its
drilling  obligations  under  Section  2.01  of  the  Development  Agreement.
Thereafter,  subject  to  the limitations set forth in this Article XI, Assignor
may  from  time  to  time  Transfer,  mortgage, or pledge the Wells, the Subject
Interests,  or  any  part  thereof or undivided interest therein, subject to the
Term  Royalty  Interest  and this Conveyance. Assignor shall cause the assignee,
purchaser,  transferee, or grantee, of any such transaction to take the affected
Subject  Interests subject to the Term Royalty Interest and this Conveyance and,
from  and  after  the actual date of any such Transfer, to (i) assume Assignor's
obligations under this Conveyance with respect to such Term Royalty Interest, or
(ii)  in  the  case of a mortgage or pledge, to make any such mortgage or pledge
expressly  subject  to  the  Term  Royalty  Interest.

          (b)     EFFECT  OF  SALE.  In  the event any such assignee, purchaser,
transferee, or grantee, has assumed Assignor's obligations under this Conveyance
with  respect  to  such  Term

                                       21
<PAGE>
Royalty  Interest,  from  and  after  the  actual  date  of any such Transfer by
Assignor,  Assignor  shall  be  relieved  of  all obligations, requirements, and
responsibilities  arising  under  this  Conveyance  with  respect to the Subject
Interests Transferred, except for those that accrued prior to such date.

          (c)     ALLOCATION  OF  CONSIDERATION.  Assignee  is  not  entitled to
receive  any share of the sales proceeds received by Assignor in any transaction
permitted  by  this  Section  11.01.

          (d)     SEPARATE  INTEREST.  Effective  on  the  effective date of any
Transfer of any Subject Interest subject to this Section 11.01, Term Royalty Gas
and  Term  Royalty Proceeds shall thereafter be computed separately with respect
to  such  Subject  Interests, and the assignee, buyer, transferee, or grantee of
such  Subject  Interests  shall  thereafter  serve  as  the Assignee's agent and
representative under Article IV with respect to such interests and shall pay all
corresponding  Term  Royalty  Proceeds  directly  to  Assignee.

     SECTION  11.02     SALE  AND  RELEASE  OF  PROPERTIES.

          (a)     TRANSFER.  With  Assignee's  express  prior  written  consent,
Assignor  may  from  time to time, Transfer the Wells, the Subject Interests, or
any  part  thereof  or  undivided  interest therein, along with the Term Royalty
Interest.  In  such  event,  this  Conveyance  shall  no  longer  apply  to such
interests.

          (b)     MORTGAGE  OR  PLEDGE.  Notwithstanding  the  restrictions  on
Transfer  otherwise  imposed  herein,  Assignor  may  mortgage  or  pledge  any
Development  Well  that  is not a Completed Development Well and its interest in
any  Well  to a Third Person without Assignee's consent so long as such mortgage
or  pledge  does  not  affect  and is made expressly subject to the Term Royalty
Conveyance.

     SECTION  11.03     RELEASE  OF  OTHER  PROPERTIES.

          (a)     PRIOR  REVERSIONARY  INTERESTS.  In  the event that any Person
notifies  Assignor  that pursuant to a Prior Reversionary Interest that Assignor
is  required to convey any of the Subject Interests to such Person, Assignor may
provide  such  conveyance  with  respect  to  such  Subject  Interest.

          (b)     PAYMENTS.  In  the  event  that Assignor receives compensation
pursuant  to  any Prior Reversionary Interest in connection with any conveyance,
Assignor  shall remit to the Assignee an amount equal to the product of (i) such
amount  actually received by Assignor with respect to such reconveyance and (ii)
a fraction the numerator of which is (aa) the Fair Value of the Royalty Interest
released  and  the  denominator  of  which is (bb) the Fair Value of the Subject
Interest  that  is  being  released.  Assignor  shall  make  such payment to the
Assignee  on  the last day of the month in which Assignor receives such payment.

          (c)     RELEASE  FOR PRIOR REVERSIONARY INTERESTS.  In connection with
any  conveyance  provided  for  in  Section  11.03(a)  above, Assignee shall, on
request,  execute,  acknowledge, and deliver to Assignor a recordable instrument
(reasonably  acceptable to Assignor) that releases the Term Royalty Interest and
this Conveyance with respect to any such Well or Subject Interests.

                                       22
<PAGE>
     SECTION  11.04     EFFECT  OF PRIOR REVERSIONARY INTERESTS.  From and after
the actual date of any conveyance provided for in Section 11.03(a), Assignor and
any assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of such Subject Interest shall be
relieved  of  all  obligations, requirements, and responsibilities arising under
the  Term  Royalty  Interest  or  this  Conveyance  with  respect to the Subject
Interests Transferred, except for those that accrued prior to such date.

     SECTION  11.05     FARMOUT.  Except  with Assignee's prior written consent,
which  shall  not  be unreasonably withheld, Assignor may not enter into Farmout
Agreements  with  Third  Persons  with  respect  to the Subject Interests in the
Subject  Development  Lands  prior  to  Assignor's  satisfying  the  drilling
obligations  under  Section  2.01 of the Development Agreement, and then only if
such  Farmout  Agreement  does  not  have  the effect of reducing Assignor's Net
Revenue Interest in any Producing Well to less than the Net Revenue Interest for
that  Producing  Well  reflected  in  Exhibit  A-1.  In the event Assignor's Net
Revenue  Interest in any Producing Well is reduced by virtue of any such Farmout
Agreement to less than the indicated interests, such reduction shall be deemed a
breach  of  the  warranty  provided for in Section 1.04(a) and Assignee shall be
entitled  to  the  remedy  provided  for  in  Section  1.04(b).

     SECTION 11.06     TRANSFER OF SUBJECT DEVELOPMENT LANDS.  Assignor will not
Transfer any Producing Well or Subject Producing Lands, or Completed Development
Well  or  any  of  the  Subject  Interests  comprising  a  part  of  the Subject
Development  Lands,  pursuant  to  Sections  11.01  and  11.02 prior to Assignor
satisfying  the  drilling  obligations  under  Section  2.01  of the Development
Agreement.

     SECTION  11.07     CHANGE  IN  OWNERSHIP.

          (a)     OBLIGATION  TO  GIVE NOTICE.  No change of ownership or of the
right  to  receive payment of the Term Royalty Interest, or of any part thereof,
however  accomplished,  shall bind Assignor until notice thereof is furnished to
Assignor  by the Person claiming the benefit thereof, and then only with respect
to  payments  made  after  such  Notice  is  furnished.

          (b)     NOTICE  OF  TRANSFER.  Notice  of  Transfer shall consist of a
certified copy of the recorded instrument accomplishing the same.

          (c)     NOTICE  OF  OTHER  CHANGES  OF OWNERSHIP.  Notice of change of
ownership  or  of  the right to receive payment accomplished in any other manner
(e.g.,  by  dissolution  of  the  Assignee) shall consist of certified copies of
recorded  documents  and  complete proceedings legally binding and conclusive of
the  rights  of  all  Persons.

          (d)     EFFECT  OF  LACK  OF NOTICE.  Until such Notice accompanied by
such  documentation  is  furnished  to  Assignor  in  the manner provided above,
Assignor  may,  at Assignor's election, either (i) continue to pay or tender all
sums  payable  on  the Term Royalty Interest in the same manner provided in this
Conveyance,  precisely as if no such change in interest or ownership or right to
receive  payment  had  occurred or (ii) suspend payment of Term Royalty Proceeds
without  interest  until  such  documentation  is  furnished.

          (e)     EFFECT OF NONCONFORMING NOTICES.  The kinds of Notice provided
by  this Section 11.0 7(d) shall be exclusive, and no other kind, whether actual
or  constructive,  shall  bind  Assignor.

<PAGE>
     SECTION  11.08     PAYEES.  Assignor  shall  never  be obligated to pay the
Monthly  Distribution  Amount  to  more  than five Persons, and then only in the
percentage proportions designated by Assignee as of the date hereof, and only on
an  aggregate  basis.  If  more  than  five Persons are ever entitled to receive
payment  of any part of the Term Royalty Proceeds, Assignor may suspend payments

exercise the rights, remedies, powers, and privileges conferred upon Assignee by
this  Conveyance  and  to  give or withhold all consents required to be obtained

                                          --------------

                                OTHER PROVISIONS

     SECTION  15.01     SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS.  Subject to the limitation and
restrictions  on the assignment or delegation by the Parties of their rights and
interests under this Conveyance, this Conveyance binds and inures to the benefit
of  Assignor,  Assignee  and  their  respective  successors,  assigns, and legal
representatives.

     SECTION  15.02     GOVERNING  LAW.  Insofar  as  permitted  by  otherwise
applicable  Legal  Requirements,  this  Conveyance  shall be construed under and
governed  by the laws of the State of West Virginia (excluding choice of law and
conflict  of law rules); provided, however, that, with respect to any portion of
the Subject Interests located outside of the State of West Virginia, the laws of
the  place  in  which  such  Subject  Interests  are located, shall apply to the
creation  of  the  Term  Royalty  Interest.

     SECTION  15.03     CONSTRUCTION  OF  CONVEYANCE.  In  construing  this
Conveyance,  the  following  principles  shall  be  followed:

          (a)     no  consideration  shall  be  given  to  the  captions  of the
articles,  sections, subsections, or clauses, which are inserted for convenience
in  locating  the  provisions  of  this  Conveyance  and  not  as  an aid in its
construction;

                                       26
<PAGE>
          (b)     no  consideration  shall  be  given to the fact or presumption
that one Party had a greater or lesser hand in drafting this Conveyance;

          (c)     the  word  "includes"  and  its  syntactical  variants  mean
"includes,  but  is  not  limited  to"  and  corresponding  syntactical  variant
expressions;

          (d)     a  defined  term  has  its  defined  meaning  throughout  this
Conveyance,  regardless  of whether it appears before or after the place in this
Conveyance  where  it  is  defined;

          (e)     the  plural  shall be deemed to include the singular, and vice
versa;  and

          (f)     each exhibit, attachment, and schedule to this Conveyance is a
part  of  this Conveyance, but if there is any conflict or inconsistency between
the  main  body of this Conveyance and any exhibit, attachment, or schedule, the
provisions of the main body of this Conveyance shall prevail.

     SECTION  15.04     WAIVER.  Failure  of either Party to require performance
of  any  provision  of  this Conveyance shall not affect either Party's right to
require  full  performance  thereof  at  any  time thereafter, and the waiver by
either  Party  of a breach of any provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver
of  a  similar  breach  in  the  future  or  of  any other breach or nullify the
effectiveness  of  such  provision.

     SECTION 15.05     RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.  This Conveyance does not create
a  partnership,  mining  partnership, joint venture, or relationship of trust or
agency  (except  with  respect to Assignor's agency relationship with respect to
those matters set forth in Articles IV and V above) between the Parties.

     SECTION  15.06     PROPORTIONATE  REDUCTION.  In  the  event  of failure or
deficiency  in title to any Well or Subject Interest, the portion of the Subject
Gas production attributable thereto shall be reduced in the same proportion that
such  Well  or  Subject Interest is reduced by such failure or deficiency.  Such
proportionate  reduction of the Term Royalty Interest shall not limit Assignee's
right to recover damages with respect to such reduction under the warranty given
by  Assignor  in  Section  1.04(a).  In  the  event  the Working Interest in any
Completed  Development  Well  is  proportionately  reduced by reason of any such
failure  or  deficiency  in title, the Adjusted Completed Development Well Value
for  any  such  Well  shall  be  recalculated using such proportionately reduced
Working  Interest;  provided  however,  that  in  instances  where  there is not
corresponding  downward  adjustment  to  the  Net  Revenue  Interest,  no  such
adjustment  shall  be  made.

     SECTION  15.07     FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  Each  Party  shall  execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party all additional instruments and other
documents  reasonably  required  to  describe  more  specifically  any interests
subject  hereto,  to  vest  more  fully  in  Assignee  the Term Royalty Interest
conveyed  (or  intended  to  be  conveyed) by this Conveyance, or to evidence or
effect  any  transaction  contemplated  by this Conveyance.  Assignor shall also
execute  and  deliver  all additional instruments and other documents reasonably
required  to  Transfer interests in state, federal, or Indian lease interests in
compliance with applicable Legal Requirements or agreements.  Upon expiration of
the  Term,  the  Assignee  shall,  on  request,  execute,

                                       27
<PAGE>
acknowledge and deliver to Assignor sufficient numbers of recordable instruments
releasing all of the Subject Lands from this Conveyance.

     SECTION  15.08     THE  7:00 A.M. CONVENTION.  Except as otherwise provided
in  this Conveyance, each calendar day, month, quarter, and year shall be deemed
to  begin at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the stated day or on the first day of the
stated month, quarter, or year, and to end at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next
day or on first day of the next month, quarter, or year, respectively.

     SECTION  15.09     COUNTERPART  EXECUTION.

          (a)     MULTIPLE  COUNTERPARTS.  Multiple  counterparts  of  the
Conveyance  have  been  recorded  in  the  counties  where the Subject Lands are
located.  The  counterparts are identical except, to facilitate recordation, the
counterpart  recorded  in each county may contain property descriptions relating
only  to  the  Subject  Lands  located  in  that  county.  A  counterpart of the
Conveyance  containing  all property descriptions of Subject Lands will be filed
for  record  in  Kanawha  County,  West  Virginia.

          (b)     MULTIPLE  COUNTIES.  If  any Subject Lands are located in more
than  one  county,  the description of such Subject Lands may be included in any
one  or more counterparts prepared for recordation in separate counties, but the
inclusion  of the same property description in more than one counterpart of this
Conveyance  shall  not be construed as having effected any cumulative, multiple,
or  overlapping  interest  in  the  Subject  Lands  in  question.

     SECTION  15.10     PRESENT  AND  ABSOLUTE  CONVEYANCE.  It  is  the express
intention  of  Assignor  and  Assignee  that  the conveyance of the Term Royalty
Interest  under the terms hereof is, and shall be construed for all purposes as,
a  present,  fully-vested  and  absolute  conveyance.

     SECTION  15.11     OTHER AGREEMENTS.  This Term Royalty Conveyance is being
executed  pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Term Royalty Agreement and
in  connection with the Development Agreement, and in the event of a conflict in
the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Term Royalty Conveyance and the terms and
conditions  of  the  Term  Royalty  Agreement , the terms and conditions of this
Conveyance,  shall  control.  In  the  event  of  a  conflict  in  the terms and
conditions  of  this Term Royalty Conveyance and the terms and conditions of the
Development  Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Term Royalty Conveyance
shall  control.

     SECTION  15.12     SECTION  15.12  EXECUTION  BY  ECA.  ECA  joins  in  the
execution  of this Conveyance for the sole and limited purpose of joining in the
warranty set forth in Section 1.04(a) but for no other purpose.

Time").

     Operator  and Black Stone contemporaneously herewith have entered into each
of  the  following  conveyances  dated  effective as of January 1, 2005 (i) Term
Royalty  Conveyance  (West  Virginia)  ("West  Virginia  Conveyance"), (ii) Term
Royalty  Conveyance  (Pennsylvania)  ("Pennsylvania  Conveyance"),  (iii)  Term
Royalty  Conveyance  (Kentucky)  ("Kentucky Conveyance")  collectively the "Term
Royalty  Conveyance,"  and the Term Royalty Agreement dated May 17, 2005 between
Operator and Black Stone (the "Term Royalty Agreement").  In connection with the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance,  Operator has agreed to undertake certain obligations
during  the  term  of  the  Term  Royalty Conveyance with respect to the Subject
Interests and the Development Wells to be drilled on AMI Areas designated in the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance.

                                    ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

     All  capitalized  words,  terms,  and  the phrases used in this Development
Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Term  Royalty  Agreement and Term Royalty Conveyance.  Certain other capitalized
words,  terms,  and  phrases  used  in  this  Development  Agreement are defined
elsewhere  in  this  Development  Agreement.

     "Adjusted  Completed  Well  Development  Well Value" means, with respect to
each  Completed  Development  Well,  the  value obtained by multiplying for each
Completed  Development  Well  drilled or caused to be drilled by Operator during

fraction  or  1.00, where Operator holds a 100% Working Interest), that Operator
is  required  to  bear  in  such  Completed  Development  Well.  For example, if
Operator  holds  an  eighty-five  percent  (85%) Working Interest in a Completed
Development  Well,  the  computation  would  be:

<PAGE>
                                  1 x .85 = .85

     SECTION  2.01     DRILLING  PROGRAM.

     (a)     OBLIGATION  TO  DRILL.  In  each  of the first three Annual Periods
during  the  Development Agreement Term, Operator shall, subject to the terms of
this  Article  II,  drill,  or cause to be drilled, at Operator's sole cost, (i)
such  number  of  Completed  Development  Wells that is necessary to achieve the
Annual Drilling Target and (ii) such number of Completed Development Wells as to
achieve  the  Total  Drilling  Commitment  prior  to  the  Drilling  Obligation
Completion  Date; it being understood that so long as Operator is performing its
obligations  hereunder  in  good  faith  and with due diligence the drilling and
testing  operations may extend beyond the last day of an Annual Period for which
such Completed Development Well is being included to meet Operator's obligations
under  this  Section  2.01(a),  and provided further that Operator shall have an
additional ninety (90) day period at the end of each Annual Period  and that the
Drilling  Obligation Completion Date to perform its obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.01(a).  Operator further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to  drill  seventy  (70)  Completed  Development  Wells  during the first Annual
Period,  sixty (60) Completed Development Wells during the second Annual Period,
and  fifty  (50)  Completed  Development  Wells  during the third Annual Period.

     (b)     MEANING  OF "DRILL."  For purposes of this Section 2.01, to "drill"
means  to  commence the actual drilling of a Development Well, and thereafter to
drill that Development Well diligently to the target depth (or target depths, in
the case of multiple target producing horizons) that Operator has determined, in
accordance  with  the  Reasonably  Prudent  Operator  Standard,  may  encounter
producing Gas horizons and then to test that Development Well for the production
of  Gas.

     (c)     ADDITIONAL  DEVELOPMENT WELLS.  Any number of Completed Development
Wells  drilled  which result in the Annual Drilling Target being exceeded in any
Annual  Period may be carried forward and applied against Operator's obligation,
if any, under Section 2.01(a) for the subsequent Annual Period.

     SECTION  2.02     OBLIGATION  TO  COMPLETE  AND  EQUIP.  Operator shall, at
Operator's  sole  cost,  attempt  to  complete  each  Development  Well  in  all
formations  which,  in  Operator's  opinion  exercised  in  accordance  with the
Reasonably  Prudent  Operator  Standard,  are capable of producing in commercial
quantities.  Operator  acknowledges  that  the  Term  Royalty  Interest would be
adversely  affected  if  Operator  fails  to  attempt to complete each Completed

                                        5
<PAGE>
Development  Well  in  all  formations  reasonably  expected  to  be  capable of
producing  in  commercial  quantities  and,  therefore,  expressly  covenants to
protect  the  Term  Royalty Interest as it relates to each Completed Development
Well  from any and all drainage that might occur should Operator not complete in
all  such formations.  Operator shall equip for production each Development Well
that  is  successfully  completed  and,  when  it is equipped and connected to a
gathering  line or pipeline, shall commence production.  Operator shall plug and
abandon  all  Development  Wells  that  are  unsuccessful.

     SECTION 2.03     UNDRILLABLE LOCATIONS/FAILURE TO REACH DEEP FORMATIONS/DRY
HOLE.  If  Operator  fails,  in  the exercise of the Reasonably Prudent Operator
Standard, to reach the Big Lime formation or deeper due to geological subsurface
conditions,  impenetrable  substances  or  drills a dry hole, such drill site or
well  shall  not be counted as a Completed Development Well nor toward the Total
Drilling  Commitment  hereunder.  Nothing  herein shall be construed to grant to
Black  Stone,  an interest in any wells drilled on the Subject Development Lands
after  the  Total  Drilling  Commitment  has  been  achieved.

     SECTION  2.04     TERMINATION.  After  the  drilling obligations in Section
2.01(a)  have  been  satisfied  in addition to all other obligations of Operator
under  this  Agreement, Black Stone shall, on request, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver  to  Operator  a  recordable instrument that terminates this Development
Agreement.

     SECTION  2.05     COSTS  AND  EXPENSES  OF  DEVELOPMENT WELLS AND COMPLETED
DEVELOPMENT  WELLS.  All costs associated with or paid or incurred in connection
with  the  drilling,  testing,  completing,  equipping for production, operating
and/or  plugging  and  abandoning  of  the  Development  Wells  and  Completed
Development  Wells  shall  be  borne  solely  by  Operator, but Operator may use
reasonable amounts of Subject Gas in such operations without any duty to account
to  Black  Stone  under  any  of  the  Term  Royalty  Interests  or Term Royalty
Conveyance,  and Operator shall hold harmless and indemnify Black Stone from and
against any and all such cost, risk, liability or obligation (including, without
limitation,  court  costs  and reasonable attorneys' fees) that are attributable
thereto,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  any  liability  resulting from the
condition  thereof under any federal, state, or local statute, regulation, rule,
ordinance  or  order  relating  to  the  environment  or  health  and  safety.

     SECTION  2.06     SURVIVAL  OF  OBLIGATION.  Operator's  obligation  under
Section  2.01(a)  shall survive, even if (i) any of the Term Royalty Interest in
the  Subject Development Lands is Transferred or released in whole or in part by
Black  Stone or (ii) notwithstanding Sections 11.01 through 11.04 of each of the
Term  Royalty  Conveyance,  Operator Transfers, mortgages or pledges the Subject
Development  Lands  or  Subject  Interests.

     SECTION  2.07     ADDITIONAL  LEASES.  In  the event that Operator acquires
any  additional  leases ("Additional Lease") other than the Subject Interests in
the  AMI  Areas  prior  to  Operator's  satisfaction  of  Operator's  drilling
requirements  in  Section  2.01,  Operator  and  Black  Stone  shall  execute,
acknowledge, and deliver an instrument that amends this Development Agreement so
that  such  Additional  Lease  will be part of the Subject Interests and Subject
Development  Lands  hereunder.

requirements in Section 2.01, Operator shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates
not  to,  nor  permit  any  other  Person  to,  drill  any  well  on the Subject
Development  Lands  in  the  AMI  Areas  that  will  not  be  a Development Well
hereunder; provided however that any Development Well that does not constitute a
Completed Development Well shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 2.09,
so  long  as  such  Development Well is drilled in compliance with Section 2.13.

     SECTION  2.10     BLACK  STONE  NOT  LIABLE.  Black  Stone  shall  not  be
personally  liable or responsible under this Development Agreement for any cost,
risk,  liability,  or  obligation  associated  in  any way with the ownership or
operation  of  the  Subject Lands, the Subject Interests, the Wells, the Subject
Gas,  or  the  plugging  and  abandoning  of  any Wells, and Operator shall hold
harmless and indemnify Black Stone from and against any and all such cost, risk,
liability  or  obligation  (including,  without  limitation,  court  costs  and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees)  that are attributable thereto, including, but not
limited  to,  any  liability  resulting  from  the  condition  thereof under any

and  consistent  with  Assignor's  prior  practice.

     SECTION  2.12     ABANDONMENT  OF  PROPERTIES.  Nothing in this Development
Agreement,  other  than the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard, shall obligate
Operator  to  continue to operate any Well or to operate or maintain in force or
attempt  to  maintain  in  force  any Subject Interest when such Well or Subject
Interest  ceases  to  produce,  or  Operator  determines,  in  good faith and in
accordance  with  the  terms  hereof,  that such Well or Subject Interest is not
capable  of  producing  Gas  in  paying quantities.  The expiration of a Subject
Interest  in  accordance  with the terms and conditions applicable thereto shall
not  be considered to be a voluntary surrender or abandonment thereof.  Any Well
abandoned  by  Operator  hereunder shall be plugged and abandoned, at Operator's
sole  risk  and expense, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and/or
local  laws,  statutes,  rules  and  regulations.

     SECTION  2.13     NO DRAINAGE.  At no time during the Development Agreement
Term,  shall Operator or any of its Affiliates drill, or permit any other person

complying  with  any  of its obligations, express or implied, under the terms of
this Development Agreement, by reason of Force Majeure or any other reason, then
while so prevented, Operator's obligation to comply therewith shall be suspended
and Operator shall not be liable for damages for failure to so comply; provided,
however,  this  Development  Agreement  shall  be  extended while and so long as
Operator  is  prevented  by  any  such  cause  from  complying  with  the  such
obligations,  and  the time while Operator is so prevented shall be added to the
Development  Agreement Term.  No event of Force Majeure or any other cause shall
excuse  Operator's obligation to make payments of Term Royalty Proceeds to Black
Stone.

     SECTION  2.15     FORCE  MAJEURE.  "Force  Majeure"  means  any  of  the
following, to the extent they are not caused solely by the breach by Operator of

                                   ARTICLE III
                                OTHER PROVISIONS

     SECTION  3.01     SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS.  Subject to the limitations and
restrictions  on the assignment or delegation by the Parties of their rights and
interests under this Development Agreement, this Development Agreement binds and
inures  to the benefit of Operator, Black Stone and their respective successors,
assigns,  and  legal  representatives.

     SECTION  3.02     GOVERNING  LAW.  Insofar  as  permitted  by  otherwise
applicable  Legal  Requirements,  this  Development Agreement shall be construed
under  and  governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia (excluding choice
of  law and conflict of law rules); provided, however, that, with respect to any
portion  of the Subject Interests located outside of the State of West Virginia,
the laws of the place in which such Subject Interests is located in, shall apply
where  mandatorily  required  by  the  laws  of  such  State.

     SECTION 3.03     CONSTRUCTION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.  In construing this
Development  Agreement,  the  following  principles  shall  be  followed:

     (a)     no  consideration  shall  be given to the captions of the articles,
sections,  subsections,  or  clauses,  which  are  inserted  for  convenience in
locating  the  provisions of this Development Agreement and not as an aid in its
construction;

     (b)     no consideration shall be given to the fact or presumption that one
Party  had  a  greater  or  lesser  hand in drafting this Development Agreement;

     (c)     the  word  "includes"  and its syntactical variants mean "includes,
but  is  not  limited  to"  and  corresponding  syntactical variant expressions;

     (d)     a  defined term has its defined meaning throughout this Development
Agreement,  regardless  of  whether it appears before or after the place in this
Development  Agreement  where  it  is  defined;

     (e)     the plural shall be deemed to include the singular, and vice versa;
and

     (f)     each  exhibit,  attachment,  and  schedule  to  this  Development
Agreement  is a part of this Development Agreement, but if there is any conflict
or  inconsistency  between  the  main body of this Development Agreement and any
exhibit,  attachment,  or  schedule,  the  provisions  of  the main body of this
Development  Agreement  shall  prevail.

     SECTION 3.04     NO WAIVER.  Failure of either Party to require performance
of  any  provision of this Development Agreement shall not affect either Party's
right to require full performance thereof at any time thereafter, and the waiver
by  either  Party  of  a  breach  of any provision hereof shall not constitute a
waiver  of  a similar breach in the future or of any other breach or nullify the
effectiveness  of  such  provision.

                                        9

     SECTION  3.05     RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.  This Development Agreement does
not  create a partnership, mining partnership, joint venture, or relationship of
trust  or  agency  between  the  Parties.

     SECTION  3.06     FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  Each  Party  shall  execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to the other Party all additional instruments and other
documents reasonably required to evidence or effect any transaction contemplated
by  this  Development  Agreement.

     SECTION 3.07     THE 7:00 A.M. CONVENTION.  Except as otherwise provided in
this Development Agreement, each calendar day, month, quarter, and year shall be
deemed  to begin at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the stated day or on the first day
of  the  stated month, quarter, or year, and to end at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on
the  next day or on first day of the next month, quarter, or year, respectively.

     SECTION  3.08     COUNTERPART  EXECUTION.

     (a)     MULTIPLE  COUNTERPARTS.  Multiple  counterparts  of the Development
Agreement have been recorded in the counties where the Subject Development Lands
are  located.  The  counterparts are identical except to facilitate recordation,
the  counterpart  recorded  in  each  county  may  contain property descriptions
relating  only  to  the  Subject  Development  Lands  located in that county.  A
counterpart of the Development Agreement containing all property descriptions of
Subject  Development  Lands  will  be  filed  for record in Kanawha County, West
Virginia.

     (b)     MULTIPLE COUNTIES.  If any Subject Development Lands are located in
more  than  one county, the description of such Subject Development Lands may be
included  in  any  one or more counterparts prepared for recordation in separate
counties,  but  the  inclusion of the same property description in more than one
counterpart  of  this  Development  Agreement  shall  not be construed as having
effected  any cumulative, multiple, or overlapping interest in the Subject Lands
in  question.

     SECTION  3.09     BINDING  EFFECT.  This  Development  Agreement  shall
constitute  a  covenant  running  with and constituting a burden on the land and
leases  included  within  the  AMI  Areas.  In  addition,  in  the  event  of  a
foreclosure  by  Black Stone under the Credit Line Deed of Trust between Eastern
and  Black  Stone  of  even  date  and  recorded  simultaneously  herewith, this
Development  Agreement  shall  continue  in  full  force and effect and shall be
binding  upon  any  subsequent  successor  in  interest  to  Operator.

     SECTION  3.10     OTHER  AGREEMENTS.   This  Development Agreement is being
executed  pursuant to the Term Royalty Agreement and in connection with the Term
Royalty  Conveyance.  In  the event of a conflict in the terms and conditions of
this  Development  Agreement  and  the  Term  Royalty  Agreement,  the terms and
conditions  of  this  Development  Agreement  shall  control.  In the event of a
conflict  in the terms and conditions of this Development Agreement and the Term
Royalty  Conveyance,  the  terms  and  conditions of the Term Royalty Conveyance
shall  control.

                                       10
