FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PRB Oil & Gas, Inc.,
a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Black Raven Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation
formerly known as PRB Energy, Inc. (“Parent”), and
the Parent (the Company and the Parent being sometimes referred to herein
collectively as the “Obligors”) hereby promise, jointly and severally, to pay

terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on
any outstanding Principal at a rate equal to ten percent (10.00%) per annum
(the “Interest Rate”), from the date set out
above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”)
until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as
defined below) or, the Maturity Date, acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in
each case in accordance with the terms hereof). 
This Amended and Restated Senior Secured Debenture (including all Senior
Secured Debentures issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Debenture”) is issued by the Obligors pursuant to the terms
and provisions of the Plan of Reorganization (as defined below) and amends,
restates and supersedes the two Prior Senior Secured Debentures (as defined
below).  Certain capitalized terms used
herein are defined in Section 21.

 

(1)                                  PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL.  On December 31, 2009 (the “Initial Scheduled Principal Payment Date”),
the Obligors shall pay to the Holder $3,750,000 of the outstanding Principal
balance of this Debenture, as well as all accrued but unpaid Interest hereunder
as of such date. On the Maturity Date, the Obligors shall pay to the Holder the
remainder of the outstanding Principal balance of this Debenture, as well as
all accrued but 

 

1

 

unpaid
Interest hereunder as of such date. For purposes of this Debenture, the term “Maturity Date” shall mean December 31,
2010, or (a) such earlier date as may be accelerated by the Required
Holders upon the occurrence and/or existence of an Event of Default in
accordance with the terms hereof, or (b) such later date as may be
extended at the option of the Required Holders (i) in the event that, and
for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3(a)) shall
have occurred and be continuing or any event shall have occurred and be
continuing which with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result
in an Event of Default or (ii) through the date that is ten (10) days
after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of
Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 4(b))
is delivered prior to the Maturity Date.

 

(2)                                  INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.  Interest on this Debenture shall commence
accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day
year and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears for each Payment
Quarter on the last day of each such Payment Quarter during the period
beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date
(each, an “Interest Date”).  Interest shall be payable on each Interest
Date, to the record holder of this Debenture on the applicable Interest Date,
in cash (“Cash Interest”).  Interest accrues at the Interest Rate on all
outstanding unpaid Principal owed under this Debenture and all accrued Interest
is payable on each Interest Date.  Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest
Rate shall be increased to eighteen percent (18.00%) (the “Default Rate”).  In the event that such Event of Default is
subsequently cured, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall
cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided that the
Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance
of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the
days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the
date of cure of such Event of Default.

not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided,
however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity

shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such
judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the applicable Obligor
will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within sixty (60) days

Default with respect to this Debenture, the Obligors shall deliver written
notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the
Holder.  At any time after the earlier of
the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming
aware of an Event of Default, the Required Holders may require the Obligors to
redeem all or any portion of the Debentures (as “Event of Default Redemption”) by delivering written notice
thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption
Notice”) to the Obligors, which Event of Default Redemption Notice
shall indicate the portion of the Debentures the Required Holders are electing
to redeem; provided that upon the occurrence of any default described in Section 3(a)(vi) and
3(a)(vii), the Debentures shall automatically, and without any action on behalf
of the Holders, be redeemed by the Obligors. 
Each portion of the Debentures subject to redemption by the Obligors
pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be redeemed by the Obligors at a
price equal to 110% of the outstanding Principal amount and accrued and unpaid
Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges and Interest with respect to such
portion of the Debentures subject to redemption (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”).  Redemptions required by this Section 3(b) shall
be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.

 

(4)                                  RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

(a)                                  Assumption.  Neither Obligor shall enter into or be party
to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) such Fundamental Transaction has
been approved in advance in writing by the Required Holders, and (ii) the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the applicable
Obligor(s) under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental
Transaction.  Upon the occurrence of any
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be
substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental
Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture referring to the “Company”, the “Parent”,
and/or the “Obligors”, as applicable, shall refer instead to the Successor
Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the applicable Obligor and
shall assume all of the obligations of the applicable Obligor(s) under
this Debenture with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the “Company”, “Parent”, or “Obligor” herein.  The provisions of this Section shall
apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be
applied without regard to any limitations on the redemption of this Debenture.

 

(b)                                 Redemption Right.  No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later
than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but
not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Obligors
shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the
Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”).  At any time during the period beginning after
the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date of
the consummation of such Change of Control (or, in the event a Change of
Control Notice is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change
of Control, at any time on or after 

 

4

 

the
date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control and ending ten (10) days
after the consummation of such Change of Control), the Required Holders may
require the Obligors to redeem all or any portion of the Debentures by
delivering written notice thereof (“Change of
Control Redemption Notice”) to the Obligors, which Change of Control
Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of the Debentures each Holder is
electing to redeem.  The portion of this
Debenture subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 4 shall be
redeemed by the Obligors at a price equal to 110% of the sum of the amount
being redeemed together with accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such
amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such amount and
Interest (the “Change of Control Redemption
Price”).  Redemptions required
by this Section 4 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7
and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change
of Control.

 

(5)                                  COMPANY REDEMPTION.  The Obligors may elect to pay to the Holder
of this Debenture the Company Redemption Amount, subject to and in accordance
with the terms of this Section 5, by redeeming the Principal, in whole but
not in part, in accordance with this Section 5 (a “Company Redemption”); provided that
all of the outstanding Principal must be redeemed by the Obligors, subject to
the provisions of this Section 5. 
On or prior to the date which is the sixth (6th) Business Day prior to
the Company Redemption (each, a “Company
Redemption Notice Due Date”), the Obligors shall deliver written
notice (each, a “Company Redemption Notice”),
to the Holder which Company Redemption Notice shall state the amount which the
Obligors elect to redeem pursuant to a Company Redemption (the “Company Redemption Amount”), which shall be
equal to 110% of the outstanding Principal, together with accrued and unpaid
Interest with respect to such Company Redemption Amount and accrued and unpaid
Late Charges with respect to such Company Redemption Amount and Interest.  Each Company Redemption Notice shall be
irrevocable.  The Obligors shall redeem
the applicable Company Redemption Amount of this Debenture pursuant to this Section 5.  If the Obligors elect a Company Redemption,
then the Company Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Holder on the
applicable Company Redemption Date shall be redeemed by the Obligors on such
Company Redemption Date, and the Obligors shall pay to the Holder on such
Company Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an
amount in cash equal to the Company Redemption Amount.

 

(6)                                  NON-CIRCUMVENTION.  The Company and Parent hereby covenant and
agree that neither the Company nor Parent will, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Debenture, and will at all times in
good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Debenture and take all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this
Debenture.

 

(7)                                  HOLDER’S REDEMPTIONS.

 

(a)                                  Mechanics.  The Obligors shall deliver the applicable
Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder within five Business Days after
the Obligors’ receipt of the Required Holders’ Event of Default Redemption
Notice.  If the Required Holders have
submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 4(b),
the Obligors 

 

5

 

shall
deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder
concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is
received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business
Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise.  In the event of a redemption of less than all
of the Principal of this Debenture, the Obligors shall promptly cause to be
issued and delivered to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 11(d))
representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed.

 

(b)                                 Redemption by Holders.  Any Event of Default Redemption Notice or
Change of Control Redemption Notice for redemption or repayment as a result of
an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences
described in Section 3(b), Section 4(b) or Section 8 is to
be delivered to the Obligors by the Required Holders.  If the Obligors receive any Event of Default
Redemption Notice or Change of Control Redemption Notice and the Obligors are
unable to redeem all Principal, interest and other amounts designated in such
Redemption Notice, then the Obligors shall redeem a pro rata amount from each
holder of the Debentures (including the Holder) based on the Principal amount
of the Debentures submitted for redemption pursuant to such Event of Default
Redemption Notice or Change of Control Redemption Notice received by the
Obligors from the Required Holders.

 

(8)                                  COVENANTS.

exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office
of the Parent, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with Section 11(d) and
in Principal amounts of at least $100,000) representing in the aggregate the
outstanding Principal of this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will
represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the
Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d)                                 Issuance of New Debentures.  Whenever the Obligors are required to issue a
new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such new Debenture (i) shall
be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall represent, as indicated
on the face of such new Debenture, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in
the case of a new Debenture being issued pursuant to Section 11(a) or

the Principal represented by the other new Debentures issued in connection with
such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this

(12)                            REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND

be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this
Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief),
and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and
consequential damages for any failure by the Obligors to comply with the terms
of this Debenture.  Amounts set forth or
provided for herein with respect to payments and the like (and the computation
thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the
Obligors (or the performance thereof). 
The Obligors each acknowledge and agree that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  Each Obligor therefore agrees that, in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available 

 

9

 

remedies,
to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

(13)                            PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS.  If (a) this
Debenture is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder
otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Debenture or to
enforce the provisions of this Debenture or (b) there occurs any
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of either Obligor or other proceedings
affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Debenture, then
the Obligors shall, jointly and severally, pay the costs incurred by the Holder
for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but
not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

(14)                            CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.  This Debenture shall be deemed to be jointly
drafted by the Obligors and the Holder and shall not be construed against any
Person as the drafter hereof.  The
headings of this Debenture are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Debenture.

 

(15)                            FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER.  No failure or delay
on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(16)                            DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  In the case of a dispute as to the
determination of the Redemption Price, the Obligors shall submit the disputed
determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within one (1) Business
Day of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Redemption Notice or other event
giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Obligors are unable to
agree upon such determination or calculation within one (1) Business Day
of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the
Holder, then the Obligors shall, within one Business Day submit via facsimile
the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price to the Parent’s
independent, outside accountant.  The
Obligors, at the Obligors’ expense, shall cause the accountant to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Obligors and the Holder of the
results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the
disputed determinations or calculations. 
Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be,
shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

Agreement) (as all of such Transaction Documents are modified and amended by

contemplated hereby, collectively, the “Amended Transaction Documents”),
and all of the obligations and liabilities of the Company and Parent thereunder
or in connection therewith, are hereby ratified, confirmed, and re-adopted by

hereof, except for breaches of representations or warranties in the Amended
Transaction Documents that have heretofore been, 

 

3

 

or are herein being, waived,
the Company and Parent each hereby represents and warrants to Lender that all

ARTICLE IV

 

ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

 

In order to induce Lender to
enter into this Agreement, the Company and Parent each represents and warrants
to Lender, and covenants and agrees with Lender, as follows:

 

4.1           Organization and Qualification,
 Parent and the Company are entities duly
organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and
authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now
being conducted.  Each of Parent and the
Company is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature
of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to
the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse
Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties,
assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise)
or prospects of Parent and the Company, taken as whole, or on the transactions
contemplated hereby and/or by the other Amended Transaction Documents, or on
the authority or ability of Parent and/or the Company to perform its respective
obligations under the Amended Transaction Documents.  Parent has no subsidiaries other than the
Company and Gathering.

 

4.2           Authorization; Enforcement;
Validity.   Each of Parent and the
Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Debenture, each of
the other Amended Transaction Documents, and each of the other agreements
entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and to issue the Securities in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Amended Transaction
Documents by the Company and Parent have been duly authorized by each of the
Company’s and Parent’s Board of Directors and the consummation by the Company
and Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including,
without limitation, the issuance of the Amended and Restated Debenture by the
Company and the issuance of the Lender Shares by Parent, have been duly
authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and Parent’s Board of Directors
and (other than as may be required by the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy
Proceedings) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required by the
Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders or Parent, its Board of
Directors or its stockholders.  This
Agreement and the other Amended Transaction Documents have been duly executed
and delivered by each of the Company and Parent, and constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of each of the Company and Parent, enforceable
against the Company and Parent in accordance with their respective terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable
creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

4.3           Issuance of Securities.  The issuance of the Securities is duly
authorized and is free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof.  Upon issuance, the Lender
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a
holder of common stock of Parent.  The
offer and issuance by the Company and Parent of the Securities is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

 

5

 

4.4           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the
Amended Transaction Documents by the Company and Parent and the consummation by
the Company and Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the issuance of the Amended and Restated
Debenture and the Lender Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of
Parent’s Articles of Incorporation, Parent’s Bylaws, the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws or the terms of any capital stock of
Parent or the Company; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Parent or the
Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to Parent or the Company or by
which any property or asset of Parent or the Company is bound or affected.

 

4.5           Consents.  Other than the appropriate approval(s) of
the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy Proceedings, neither the Company nor
Parent is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make
any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any
regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the
Amended Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof
or thereof (other than (x) filing with the SEC of a Form 8-K, and (y) filings
required by the Security Documents).  All
consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company
and Parent are required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been
obtained or effected on or prior to the Effective Date of the Plan of
Reorganization, and Parent and the Company are unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might prevent the Company or Parent from obtaining or
effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the
preceding sentence.

 

4.6           Placement Agent’s Fees.  Parent shall be responsible for the payment of
any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions
(other than for Persons engaged by Lender) relating to or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Parent
shall pay, and hold Lender harmless against, any liability, loss or expense
(including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses)
arising in connection with any such claim.

 

4.7           No Integrated
Offering.  None of Parent, the
Company, any of their affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf has,
directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited
any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require
registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this offering
of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by Parent or the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations
of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of
Parent or the Company are listed or designated. 
None of Parent, the Company, their affiliates or any Person acting on
their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding
sentence that would require registration of any of the Securities under the
1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other
offerings.

 

4.8           U.S. Real
Property Holding Corporation.  Neither the Company nor Parent is, nor has it
ever been, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897
of 

 

6

 

the

and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including,
without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses,
costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective, of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the
action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company or Parent in the Amended Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or Parent
contained in the Amended Transaction Documents or any other certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of
action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party

Company or Parent) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of the Amended Transaction Documents or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any

foregoing undertakings by the Company and Parent may be unenforceable for any
reason, the Company and Parent shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law.

 

4.40         Remedies.
 Lender and each holder of the Securities,
or any portion thereof, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Amended
Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been
granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights
which such holders have under any law. 
Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall
be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or
other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of
this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.  Furthermore, each of the Company and Parent
recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge
any or all of its obligations under the Amended Transaction Documents, any
remedy at 

 

15

 

law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender or the other applicable
holder(s).  Each of the Company and
Parent therefore agrees that Lender or the other applicable holder(s) shall
be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
other security.

 

4.41         Payment
Set Aside.  To the extent that the
Company or Parent makes a payment or payments to Lender hereunder or pursuant
to any of the other Amended Transaction Documents or Lender enforces or exercises
its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, Parent, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

4.42         Cross-Default.  If the Company or Parent, as applicable,
breaches, in any material respect, any representation, warranty, covenant,
agreement, or other term or provision contained herein or contained in any of
the other Amended Transaction Documents, such breach shall constitute a Default
and an Event of Default under the Amended and Restated Debenture and each of
the other Amended Transaction Documents; provided, however, that if such breach
(i) does not otherwise constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
another Amended Transaction Document, and (ii) such breach is curable, such
breach shall only constitute a Default and an Event of Default if such breach continues
for a period of at least five (5) consecutive business days after receipt
of written notice thereof by the Company or the Parent.

 

4.47         Reaffirmation of
Liens. The Company and Parent each hereby renews and affirms the liens and
security interests created and granted in the Security Documents and the other
Amended Transaction Documents, as modified on the date hereof.  The Company and Parent each agree that this
Agreement shall in no manner impair the liens and security interests securing
the Obligations, and that such liens and security interests shall not in any
manner be waived, the purposes of this Agreement being to modify the Amended
Transaction Documents as herein provided and to carry forward all liens and
security interests securing same, which are acknowledged by the Company and
Parent to be valid and subsisting. The Company and Parent each hereby further
covenants and agrees to hereafter, from time to time upon the reasonable
request of Lender, execute and deliver to Lender such writings and take such
other actions as Lender may request from time to time in order to create, evidence,
perfect, continue, maintain, or otherwise protect or assure unto Lender a
valid, perfected, first priority Lien in favor of Lender covering all of the
Collateral, as security for the Obligations, or to evidence or carry out the
intent of this Agreement and/or the other Amended Transaction Documents, or to
otherwise perfect or give further assurances of any right(s) and/or
remedies granted or provided to, or for the benefit of, Lender in this
Agreement and/or the other Amended Transaction Documents.

 

4.48         Maintenance of
Leases. Without limiting any covenants of the Company and/or Parent
contained in any of the Amended Transaction Documents, the Company and Parent 

 

16

 

hereby
expressly agree, at their sole cost and expense, to hereafter at all times
maintain, in full force and effect, all oil, gas, and/or mineral or hydrocarbon
leases, interests, and rights included in, or constituting a part of, the
Collateral as of the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization and to not
allow any of such leases, interests or other rights to terminate, expire,
lapse, or otherwise be impaired or diminished in any manner whatsoever, in each
case without the prior written approval of Lender.
