                                     SUMMARY


ISSUE                 $7.5 million par value 8% Convertible Sinking Fund
                      Preferred Stock $1.00 par value (the "Preferred Stock") of
                      Evergreen Resources, Inc. ("Evergreen").

PURCHASERS            John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company - $6,000,000
                      Energy Investors Fund II, L.P. - $1,500,000

USE OF PROCEEDS       To fund Evergreen's interest in the development of the
                      Raton Basin including gathering and compression
                      facilities.

TAKEDOWNS             -Takedown 1 in December 1994:  $3,750,000.
                      -Takedown 2 in 1995:  $3,750,000, upon completion of
                       Evergreen's first ten well Program in the Raton Basin and
                       subject to independent engineer's report establishing
                       gross reserves of such ten wells averaging 1.8 Bcf per
                       well after 60 days production.

DIVIDENDS             Cumulative annual cash dividends of 8%, payable quarterly.
                      At Evergreen's option, two quarterly dividends over the
                      ten year life of the issue may be satisfied through the
                      issuance of Common Stock valued at its then current market
                      value.

                      No dividends may be paid on the Common Stock unless all
                      accrued dividends, sinking fund and redemption obligations
                      on the Preferred Stock have been paid in full.  Overdue
                      dividends shall bear interest at the rate of 10% until
                      paid in full.

CONVERSION RIGHT      The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, or from
                      time to time, in whole or in part, at the option of the
                      holders into 899,281 shares of Common Stock.

CONVERSION PRICE      The Conversion Price shall be $8.34, calculated at 115% of
                      $7.25, the market price of the Common Stock as of
                      September 30's pricing date.

FORCED CONVERSION     Evergreen can require the conversion of all, but not less
                      than all, of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock on any
                      date, provided the Common Stock has traded at not less
                      than $16 per share for the 30 consecutive days immediately
                      preceding the date of conversion and on the date of
                      conversion.

                      part (minimum call being 20% of original issue, expressed
                      in shares), at Evergreen's option at a call price equal to
                      par value, plus accrued dividends, payable in cash, plus
                      the Warrants as described below.

                      in full.

REDEMPTION            by Evergreen on the tenth anniversary of original issuance
                      at par value, plus accrued dividends.  Overdue redemption
                      payments shall bear interest at the rate of 10% until paid
                      in full.

WARRANTS              Evergreen has issued warrants which will be triggered and
                      will become exerciseable for 10 years at $8.34 per share
                      if Evergreen exercises its call option.  Holders of the
                      Preferred Stock may exercise stock purchase warrants equal
                      in number to the underlying common shares called, up to a
                      maximum of 899,281 shares.

ANTIDILUTION          The conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the
                      exercise price of the Warrants shall be adjusted for
                      issuances below the higher of (A) $8.34, and (B) the fair
                      market value of the Common Stock as determined with
                      reference to published prices.  No adjustment will be
                      made, however, in the event of:

                      - issuances in registered underwritten public offerings at
                        a price to the public of not less than 95% of the
                        closing   bid price for the Common Stock on the day of
                        pricing of such offering.
                      - issuances pursuant to presently outstanding stock
                        purchase warrants
                      - issuances pursuant to Evergreen employee compensation,
                        limited to 1-1/2% of issued and outstanding common stock
                        per year.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS   The shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the
                      Preferred Stock, upon exercise of the Warrants or in
                      satisfaction of dividend obligations as provided above
                      shall be entitled to unlimited piggyback registration
                      rights (with appropriate cutbacks if so requested by a
                      managing underwriter), and to two demand registrations.

VOTING RIGHTS         The following actions require the prior approval of
                      holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Preferred Stock:

                      - any change to the terms of the Preferred Stock, or the
                        creation or issuance of shares of capital stock senior
                        to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock.
                      - the merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of
                        Evergreen or any of its material Subsidiaries.
                      - the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of
                        the material assets of Evergreen or any material
                        Subsidiary,
                      - the incurrence by Evergreen or its Subsidiaries of
                        indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of 50% of the
                        SEC 10% Present Value of Evergreen's proved oil and gas
                        reserves.
                      - the making by Evergreen and Subsidiaries of aggregate
                        Restricted Payments (dividends and redemptions) from and

                        Consolidated Net Income.

                      If Evergreen fails to (i) pay any quarterly dividend, (ii)
                      make any mandatory sinking fund payment, or (iii) make the
                      mandatory redemption payment, the holders of the Preferred
                      Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class,
                      to elect the smallest number of directors which will
                      constitute a majority of the total number of directors of
                      Evergreen.

                      If and when six months shall have elapsed during which all
                      dividends, mandatory sinking fund payments and redemption
                      payments on the Preferred Stock shall have been paid in
                      full, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall again be
                      excluded from the right to vote for the election of
                      directors, and each director elected by the holders of the
                      Preferred Stock shall cease to hold office upon the
                      election of a successor or of a new board of directors by
                      the stockholders.
