     reborrowed.   The  Lender has no  commitments  to  make
     further  advances on the Loan.  Amounts of accrued  and
     unpaid  interest that are added to the Tranche  A  Loan
     pursuant   to  Section  2.04(b)  shall  not  constitute
     further  advances on, or reborrowings under, the  Loan.
     The Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to
     this Agreement shall be evidenced by the Note.

           (b)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of  the


<PAGE>

     Note  or  this  Agreement regarding the application  of
     payments  against the amounts due with respect  to  the
     Loan,  upon  any  receivership, insolvency  proceeding,
     bankruptcy  proceeding, assignment for the  benefit  of
     creditors,  reorganization, arrangement with creditors,
     sale of assets for creditors, dissolution, liquidation,
     or  marshalling of the assets of the Borrower (each,  a
     "Bankruptcy  Event"), other than with  respect  to  the
     application  of  the  proceeds of  the  Warrants  under
     Section 2.08(c), (d) and (e) hereof, which shall remain
     controlled by Section 2.08(c), (d) and (e) hereof,  all
     amounts  received for application against the  Loan  or
     any  interest,  prepayment premiums, and other  amounts
     due with respect to the Loan, shall be applied first to
     the  amounts  due with respect to the Tranche  A  Loan,
     including all principal, interest and other amounts due
     with  respect  to the Tranche A Loan, whether  incurred
     before or after such Bankruptcy Event, and then to  any
     amounts  due with respect to the Tranche B Loan.   This
     Section  shall  have  no impact on the  application  of
     payments  against amounts due with respect to the  Loan
     prior to the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event.

           Section 2.02  AFE Approval for Scheduled  Capital
     Operations.

           (a)  Prior to the Conveyance Expiration Date, AFE
     approval  for  Scheduled Capital  Operations  shall  be
     required  as  provided  for in  Section  2.03(a).   The
     rights  and obligations of Lender and Borrower  in  the
     event  Lender  rejects or approves any  such  Scheduled
     Capital Operation are set forth in Section 2.03(a).

           (b)   If  after  the Conveyance  Expiration  Date
     Borrower   determines  that  the  estimated   cost   of
     completing  a Scheduled Capital Operation  exceeds  the
     cost  set  out in Schedule I, then prior to  commencing
     such operation Borrower may, but shall not be obligated
     to,  submit  to Lender an AFE setting forth  Borrower's
     best  estimate of the cost of such operation.  Any  AFE
     submitted  by  Borrower pursuant to the terms  of  this
     Section 2.02(b) shall contain all of the information as
     required pursuant to Section 2.03(a).  Upon receipt  of
     any  such  AFE,  Lender  shall  comply  with  the  time
     requirements  set  out in Section 2.03(c).   If  Lender
     approves such AFE, then Borrower shall be obligated  to


<PAGE>

     complete such operation as provided in Section 4.17 and
     the  cost of such operation shall be accounted  for  as
     provided in clause (ii)(b) of the definition of Capital
     Expenses.   If  Lender rejects or  is  deemed  to  have
     rejected  such AFE, then Borrower may either (i)  elect
     not   to   commence  such  operation   and   Borrower's
     obligation to complete such Scheduled Capital Operation
     under Section 4.17 shall be deemed waived by the Lender
     or   (ii)  complete  such  operation  pursuant  to  the
     provisions  set  out  in Section  2.03(d).   If  Lender
     rejects  or  is deemed to have rejected  such  AFE  and
     Borrower  has  elected not to commence such  operation,
     then  Exhibit J to this Agreement shall be  revised  as
     provided for in Section 2.17.

           (c)   Borrower  shall have the right  to  propose
     commencing an operation described on Schedule  I  prior
     to  the applicable Window Period.  If such earlier date
     and  the  AFE submitted with respect to such  operation
     are   consented  to  by  Lender,  then  Borrower  shall
     commence such operation within 60 days after Borrower's
     receipt  of  such consent and thereafter  conduct  such
     operation  as  a reasonable and prudent operator.   The
     costs  of any such operation shall be accounted for  as
     provided  in  clause (i) of the definition  of  Capital
     Expenses.   If  Lender elects not  to  consent  to  the
     proposed earlier commencement date, then Borrower shall
     be  prohibited from proceeding with such  operation  at
     the  earlier  date and shall instead  be  obligated  to
     comply  with the time requirements set forth in Section
     4.17.

          Section 2.03  Conducting Capital Operations.

           (a)   Prior  to  the Conveyance  Expiration  Date
     Borrower  shall not commence any Capital  Operation  on
     the  Mortgaged Properties, including Scheduled  Capital
     Operations and Nonscheduled Capital Operations, without
     first obtaining Lender's written consent as provided in
     Section 2.03(c).  To obtain such consent Borrower shall
     as  to  each operation submit to Lender an AFE  setting
     forth  among  other  things the estimated  commencement
     date,  the proposed depth, the objective zone or  zones
     to  be  tested, the surface and bottom hole  locations,
     applicable details regarding directional drilling,  the
     equipment  to  be used and the estimated costs  of  the


<PAGE>

     operation,  and  such  other  information   as   Lender
     reasonably may request.  Lender shall respond  to  such
     AFE  as  provided  for in Section  2.03(c)  below.   If
     Lender consents to a Capital Operation pursuant to  the
     terms  of  this  Section 2.03(a), then  Borrower  shall
     commence such operation within 60 days after receipt of
     such consent and thereafter conduct such operation as a
     reasonable and prudent operator.  If Lender elects  not
     to consent to a Scheduled Capital Operation pursuant to
     the  terms  of  this Section 2.03(a),  then  Borrower's
     obligation to complete such Scheduled Capital Operation
     shall  terminate and Exhibit J to this Agreement  shall
     be  revised as provided for in Section 2.17 below.   If
     prior  to the Conveyance Expiration Date Lender  elects
     not  to consent to a Capital Operation pursuant to this
     Section  2.03(a), Borrower may not perform such Capital
     Operation  but  may  re-propose such Capital  Operation
     pursuant to Sections 2.02(b) or 2.03(b), as applicable,
     after the Conveyance Expiration Date.

          (b)  After the Conveyance Expiration Date Borrower
     shall  not  commence any Nonscheduled Capital Operation
     on  the  Mortgaged Properties without first  submitting
     such  Nonscheduled Capital Operation to Lender for  its
     consent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c).  With respect
     to   each   Nonscheduled  Capital  Operation  submitted
     pursuant  to  the  preceding sentence,  Borrower  shall
     submit to Lender an AFE complying with the requirements
     set forth in Section 2.03(a).  Lender shall respond  to
     such AFE as provided for in Section 2.03(c) below.   If
     Lender  consents  to a Nonscheduled  Capital  Operation
     pursuant  to  the terms of this Section  2.03(b),  then
     Borrower shall commence such operation within  60  days
     after  receipt  of such consent and thereafter  conduct
     such  operation  as a reasonable and prudent  operator.
     If  Lender  elects not to consent to such  Nonscheduled
     Capital Operation, then Borrower shall have the  option
     of   either  not  proceeding  with  such  operation  or
     completing  such operation as provided for  in  Section
     2.03(d) below.

           (c)   With respect to any AFEs submitted pursuant
     to  the  terms  of Sections 2.02(b), 2.02(c),  2.03(a),
     2.03(b),  2.18, and 2.20, Lender shall  have  ten  (10)
     Business  Days (48 hours if the rig is on location  and
     Borrower  notifies Lender of such circumstance  at  the



<PAGE>

     time  the  AFE  or  Supplemental AFE is  submitted  for
     approval,  or  sixty  (60) Business  Days  if  the  AFE
     involves   the   construction  of  a  platform   and/or
     facilities either as a part of the well proposal or  as
     a  separate proposal) after receipt of such AFE and all
     other  information requested by Lender within which  to
     approve  the  proposed AFE and the  related  operation.
     Failure of Lender to notify Borrower in writing  within
     such  period of time of such approval shall  be  deemed
     disapproval  of  the  proposed  AFE  and  the   related
     operation.   If, however, Lender notifies  Borrower  in
     writing prior to the expiration of such period that  it
     consents  to Borrower's AFE, Lender shall be deemed  to
     have  consented to the commencement and  completion  by
     Borrower  of such operation pursuant to such  AFE.   In
     addition,  if  within 60 days after Borrower's  receipt
     from  Lender  of a consent as provided for pursuant  to
     the  terms  of  this  Section  2.03  Borrower  has  not
     commenced  the operation covered by such consent,  such
     consent shall be void and Borrower shall be required to
     resubmit the applicable AFE and operation to Lender for
     its approval as provided for in this Section 2.03.

           (d)   If  after  the Conveyance  Expiration  Date
     Lender  elects  not  to consent or is  deemed  to  have
     elected  not to consent to a Capital Operation and  the
     related  AFE submitted by Borrower pursuant to  Section
     2.02(b)  or  2.03(b),  then  Borrower  shall  have  the
     following  options:   (x) Borrower  may  elect  not  to
     perform  such  Capital Operation, and if  such  Capital
     Operation  is a Scheduled Capital Operation, Borrower's
     obligation to complete such Scheduled Capital Operation
     shall  terminate and Exhibit J to this Agreement  shall
     be  revised  as provided for in Section  2.17;  or  (y)
     Borrower may complete at its sole cost and expense  the
     operation   provided   for  in  such   AFE   ("Excluded
     Operation") and the costs and revenues attributable  to
     such  Excluded  Operation shall  be  accounted  for  as
     follows:

               (i)  Borrower shall be solely responsible for
     the  payment  of  its share of all  costs  incurred  by
     Borrower  to conduct the Excluded Operation  ("Excluded
     Operation  Costs"); provided, however,  notwithstanding
     anything  in this Agreement or the Security Instruments
     to  the contrary, Borrower shall be entitled to the Net


<PAGE>

     Operating  Cash  Flow,  if any,  that  is  attributable
     solely to the Excluded Operation until such date as the
     Borrower  has received an amount equal to 200%  of  the
     Excluded  Operation Costs.  For purposes of calculating
     Net  Operating Cash Flow, Net Production  Revenues  and
     Operating Costs with respect to the Excluded Operation,
     the  commencement date for such calculations  shall  be
     the completion date of the Excluded Operation.

                (ii)  All Net Operating Cash Flow  to  which
     Borrower  is  entitled pursuant to  Section  2.03(d)(i)
     shall  be excluded from the calculation of the  Monthly
     Payment  Amount.  At such time as Borrower has received
     Net  Operating  Cash  Flow from the Excluded  Operation
     equal to 200% of the Excluded Operation Costs, the  Net
     Operating  Cash Flow related to the Excluded  Operation
     shall no longer be excluded from the calculation of the
     Monthly Payment Amount and shall instead be included in
     such calculations.

                (iii)      Nothing  in this Section  2.03(d)
     shall  in  any manner waive, limit or otherwise  affect
     the  Liens granted pursuant to the Security Instruments
     against  the  Mortgaged  Properties  subject   to   the
     Excluded Operation.

          Section 2.04  Interest and Additions to Principal.

          (a)  The aggregate outstanding principal amount of
     the   Tranche  A  Loan  shall  bear  interest  at   the
     Applicable Interest Rate.  Past due interest, principal
     (including principal on the Tranche B Loan), and  other
     amounts  hereunder shall bear interest at the Past  Due
     Rate  from  the  date  due until  paid.   All  interest
     accrued  hereunder shall be computed on the  per  annum
     basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
     and  for the actual number of days (including the first
     day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

          (b)  Accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan shall
     be paid monthly on each Payment Date in an amount equal
     to the lesser of (i) the accrued but unpaid interest on
     such  Payment  Date or (ii) the Monthly Payment  Amount
     computed  as  of the end of the second month  preceding
     the  month  in  which  such Payment  Date  falls.   For
     example, with respect to the Payment Date occurring  on


<PAGE>

     September  29, 1995, accrued but unpaid interest  shall
     be  paid  to  the extent of the Monthly Payment  Amount
     computed as of the end of the month of July, 1995.  Any
     accrued  but  unpaid interest remaining outstanding  on
     the  Tranche A Loan after application of such  payments
     on  each Payment Date shall not be considered past  due
     at  such  time,  but shall be added  to  the  principal
     amount of the Tranche A Loan.

             Section   2.05    Principal   Repayment.    All
     outstanding principal, including any amounts which have
     been  added  to principal, and all accrued  but  unpaid
     interest on each Loan Tranche shall be due and  payable
     on  the  Final  Maturity Date applicable to  such  Loan
     Tranche.

           Section 2.06  Note.  To evidence the Loan made by
     the  Lender  pursuant to this Agreement,  the  Borrower
     will  issue,  execute  and  deliver  the  Note  in  the
     principal amount of $100,000,000 dated as of  the  date
     of  this  Agreement.   At the time  the  Loan  is  made
     hereunder  or  payment (including, without  limitation,
     prepayments) is made on the Note, the Lender is  hereby
     irrevocably  authorized  by the  Borrower  to  make  an
     appropriate notation on a ledger forming a part of  the
     Note  reflecting the amount of each Loan Tranche loaned
     or  paid  and  the date thereof; provided however,  the
     failure  of  the Lender to do so shall not relieve  the
     Borrower  or  any other liable party of  its  liability
     hereunder or under the Note or subject the Borrower  or
     any  other  liable party to additional liability  under
     the   Note.    Furthermore,  the   Lender   is   hereby
     irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to attach to and
     to  make a part of the Note a continuation of any  such
     schedule  of payments, as and when required, reflecting
     the   amount  of  each  Loan  Tranche  paid  (including
     payments made pursuant to Section 2.08) and the date of
     such payment.  The aggregate unpaid amount of each Loan
     Tranche reflected by the notations by the Lender on its
     records or a ledger sheet or sheets affixed to the Note
     shall be deemed rebuttably presumptive evidence of  the
     principal  amount owing on such Loan Tranche under  the
     Note.   Interest  on  the  Tranche  A  Loan  shall   be
     calculated  on  the  unpaid sums  actually  loaned  and
     outstanding  pursuant to the terms  of  this  Agreement
     (including  accrued  but  unpaid  interest   added   to


<PAGE>

     principal  in  accordance with the  terms  hereof)  and
     interest shall accrue only for the period from the date
     or  dates  advanced  (or, in the case  of  accrued  but
     unpaid  interest added to principal in accordance  with
     the terms hereof, from the date such interest was added
     to  principal) until repaid.  The liability for payment
     of  principal evidenced by the Note shall be limited to
     the  principal amounts actually loaned and  outstanding
     or added to principal pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section 2.07  Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower
     may  at  its  option  prepay the outstanding  principal
     amount  of the Loan, in whole or from time to  time  in
     part  (but  no  partial prepayment shall be  less  than
     $1,000,000),  upon  giving the  Lender  at  least  five
     Business  Days' prior notice of the aggregate principal
     amount  to  be prepaid, and in the event  of  any  such
     notice being given, the amount so notified shall be due
     and  payable  on  the  day so notified,  together  with
     accrued   but   unpaid  interest  on  the   outstanding
     principal amount of each Loan Tranche being prepaid  to
     the  date  of prepayment.  All prepayments  made  under
     this   paragraph  shall  be  applied   first   to   the
     outstanding principal balance of the Tranche A Loan and
     then  to  the  outstanding  principal  balance  of  the
     Tranche B Loan.

          Section 2.08  Mandatory Prepayments.

           (a)   On  each  Payment Date, the Borrower  shall
     prepay  the  principal amount of the  Loan  outstanding
     hereunder in an amount equal to the amount by which the
     Monthly  Payment Amount computed as of the end  of  the
     second  month preceding the month in which such Payment
     Date falls exceeds the interest due on the Loan on such
     Payment  Date.   In addition, on any  Payment  Date  on
     which  the  outstanding principal amount  of  the  Loan
     exceeds,  or  would pursuant to any of  the  provisions
     hereof  exceed,  the  Maximum  Principal  Amount,   the
     Borrower  will prepay the outstanding principal  amount
     of  the  Loan  by an amount sufficient  to  reduce  the
     outstanding  principal amount on such Payment  Date  to
     the  Maximum Principal Amount.  Borrower will give  the
     Lender at least five Business Days prior notice of  the
     aggregate  principal  amount  to  be  prepaid  on  each
     Payment  Date pursuant to this paragraph.   Prepayments


<PAGE>

     of  principal  under this paragraph  shall  be  without
     premium  or  penalty.  All prepayments due  under  this
     paragraph shall be applied first to the payment of  all
     accrued but unpaid interest on the Tranche A Loan, then
     to the principal due on the Tranche A Loan, then to the
     principal due on the Tranche B Loan.

           (b)   If  on any Semiannual Payment Date (i)  the
     aggregate  outstanding principal  amount  of  the  Loan
     exceeds,  or  would pursuant to any of  the  provisions
     hereof exceed, the Scheduled Principal Amount for  such
     date  and (ii) the corresponding Trailing Twelve  Month
     Cash Flow for the twelve month period ending at the end
     of the second preceding month is less than the Required
     Trailing  Twelve  Month Cash Flow for  such  Semiannual
     Payment  Date, the Borrower shall on such Payment  Date
     prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan  by
     the   amount   necessary  to  reduce  the   outstanding
     principal   balance  of  the  Loan  to  the   Scheduled
     Principal Amount applicable to such Semiannual  Payment
     Date.   Borrower  will give the Lender  at  least  five
     Business  Days' prior notice of the aggregate principal
     amount  to  be  prepaid on the Loan on each  Semiannual
     Payment  Date pursuant to this paragraph.   Prepayments
     of  principal  under this paragraph  shall  be  without
     premium  or  penalty, and shall be made  together  with
     payment  of  all  accrued but unpaid  interest  on  the
     outstanding principal amount of the Loan to the date of
     prepayment.   All prepayments due under this  paragraph
     shall  be  applied first to the payment of all  accrued
     but  unpaid interest on the Tranche A Loan, then to the
     principal  due  on  the Tranche A  Loan,  then  to  the
     principal due on the Tranche B Loan.

           (c)  If any Indebtedness is outstanding, Borrower
     shall  cause  Lender  to receive all of the  Tranche  A
     Warrant  Proceeds.   Any  Tranche  A  Warrant  Proceeds
     received  by Lender shall be applied to the outstanding
     Indebtedness  in  the following order:   First  to  the
     payment  of  all  accrued but unpaid  interest  on  the
     Tranche  A  Loan,  then  to the principal  due  on  the
     Tranche  A  Loan,  then  to the principal  due  on  the
     Tranche B Loan, and finally to any other fixed,  agreed
     upon   or   liquidated   amount  of   the   outstanding
     Indebtedness.   Any  surplus  shall  be  paid  to   the
     Borrower within 3 Business Days after Lender's  receipt


<PAGE>

     of such proceeds.

           (d)   If the Anschutz Option is exercised, Lender
     shall  be  entitled to receive from Anschutz the  Gross
     Warrant  Proceeds in accordance with the terms  of  the
     Anschutz Option.  All Net Warrant Proceeds received  by
     Lender  in connection with the exercise of the Anschutz
     Option shall be applied to the outstanding Indebtedness
     in  the following order: First to the principal due  on
     the  Tranche B Loan, then to the payment of all accrued
     but  unpaid interest on the Tranche A Loan, then to the
     principal due on the Tranche A Loan, and finally to any
     other  fixed, agreed upon or liquidated amount  of  the
     outstanding Indebtedness.  Any surplus shall be paid to
     the  Borrower  within  3 Business Days  after  Lender's
     receipt of such proceeds.

           (e)   If  after  the expiration of  the  Anschutz
     Option  the Tranche B Warrant is transferred by  Lender
     and  any  Indebtedness  is  outstanding,  any  proceeds
     payable to Borrower as payment of the exercise price of
     the  Tranche  B  Warrant shall be paid  to  Lender  and
     applied   to  the  outstanding  Indebtedness   in   the
     following  order:  First to the principal  due  on  the
     Tranche B Loan, then to the payment of all accrued  but
     unpaid  interest  on the Tranche A Loan,  then  to  the
     principal due on the Tranche A Loan, and finally to any
     other  fixed, agreed upon or liquidated amount  of  the
     outstanding Indebtedness.  Any surplus shall be paid to
     the  Borrower  within  3 Business Days  after  Lender's
     receipt of such proceeds.

           (f)  If the Lender exercises any of the Tranche B
     Warrant, the Lender may offset the exercise price  owed
     by  the Lender to the Borrower in connection with  such
     exercise  against the outstanding principal balance  of
     the  Loan, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and
     any  other  fixed, agreed upon or liquidated amount  of
     the  Indebtedness and such offset shall be  applied  in
     the order set forth in Paragraph (e) above.

            (g)   If  prior  to  the  satisfaction  of   the
     Indebtedness Borrower issues Common Stock  pursuant  to
     the exercise of any of the Warrants and Lender fails to
     receive  the  full payment it is entitled to  from  the
     party  exercising  such Warrants, then  Borrower  shall


<PAGE>

     immediately pay to Lender an amount sufficient to cover
     the   shortfall.   If  at  any  time   prior   to   the
     satisfaction of the Indebtedness Borrower receives  any
     proceeds in connection with the exercise of any of  the
     Warrants,  Borrower  shall  immediately  deliver   such
     proceeds  to  Lender.   Any payment  made  by  Borrower
     pursuant  to  the  preceding  two  sentences  shall  be
     applied against the Loan in the order provided  for  in
     the applicable paragraph of this Section 2.08 based  on
     the Warrant that was exercised.

          Section 2.09  Payment Procedure.  All payments and
     prepayments made by the Borrower under the Note or this
     Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
     available funds before 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time  on  the
     date  such  payment  is required  to  be  made  to  the
     Lender's Account.  Any payment received and accepted by
     the  Lender after such time shall be considered for all
     purposes (including the calculation of interest, to the
     extent  permitted by law) as having been  made  on  the
     Lender's  next  following  Business  Day.   Except   as
     otherwise expressly required under this Agreement,  all
     payments  and  prepayments received by the  Lender  for
     application against the Indebtedness shall  be  applied
     to  the required principal payments due under the Loan,
     to  the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan, and to
     the  other  amounts due which are Indebtedness  in  the
     order determined by the Lender.

           Section 2.10  Business Days.  If the date for any
     Loan payment or prepayment falls on a day which is  not
     a  Business Day, then for all purposes of the Note  and
     this  Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen
     on  the next following Business Day, and such extension
     of   time  shall  in  such  case  be  included  in  the
     computation of payments of interest.

           Section  2.11   Collateral.  To secure  full  and
     complete  payment and performance of the  Indebtedness,
     the  Borrower, as applicable, shall execute and deliver
     or  cause  to  be executed and delivered  the  Security
     Instruments creating first and prior liens and security
     interests  in the Collateral.  Borrower, as applicable,
     shall  execute and deliver or cause to be executed  and
     delivered   such  further  documents  and  instruments,
     including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial  Code


<PAGE>

     financing   statements,  as   Lender,   in   its   sole
     discretion,  deems necessary or desirable  to  evidence
     and perfect its Liens in the Collateral.

           Section  2.12   Set Off.  Lender shall  have  the
     right to set off and apply against the Indebtedness  in
     such  manner  as Lender may determine at any  time  and
     without notice to Borrower, the Borrower's interest  in
     any  and all amounts at any time owing from Lender  (or
     any  Affiliate  of Lender), to Borrower  in  connection
     with   the  Mortgaged  Properties,  including   without
     limitation,  any  production proceeds  payable  by  any
     Affiliate  of  Lender to Borrower  from  any  Mortgaged
     Property,  upon  the occurrence and continuance  of  an
     Event  of  Default, whether or not the Indebtedness  is
     then due.  In addition to Lender's right of set off and
     as  further  security  for the  Indebtedness,  Borrower
     hereby  grants  to Lender a security  interest  in  all
     amounts  at  any time credited by or owing from  Lender
     (or  any Affiliate of Lender) to Borrower in connection
     with the Mortgaged Properties.  The rights and remedies
     of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and
     remedies  (including, without limitation, other  rights
     of set off) which Lender may have.

          Section 2.13  Production Proceeds.  From and after
     the  occurrence of a Suspension Event, Borrower at  the
     request of Lender shall direct and cause all purchasers
     of  Hydrocarbons produced from the Mortgaged Properties
     to  deposit  all payments of any nature whatsoever  due
     and owing by such Persons to Borrower directly into the
     Lender's Account.  In this connection the Lender  shall
     be authorized upon the occurrence of a Suspension Event
     to complete and deliver to such purchasers the Transfer
     Orders.   Funds  deposited in the Lender's  Account  in
     accordance with the terms hereof shall be credited when
     collected  to  the  payment  of  the  Indebtedness   in
     accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

          Section 2.14  Intentionally Deleted.

          Section 2.15  Intentionally Deleted.

          Section 2.16  Borrower's Right to Convey.

          (a)  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions


<PAGE>

     precedent  specified in paragraph (c) below, commencing
     on  the  Option  Commencement Date and  ending  on  the
     Conveyance Expiration Date, the Borrower shall  have  a
     one-time  option  to  elect  to  convey  the  Mortgaged
     Properties and the Option Agreement to the Lender  (the
     "Conveyance   Option")   in   satisfaction    of    the
     Extinguished  Obligations by giving the Lender  written
     notice  of  the  Borrower's  intent  to  exercise   the
     Conveyance  Option.   Such  written  notice   must   be
     delivered on or after the Option Commencement Date  but
     prior  to  the occurrence of the Conveyance  Expiration
     Date.   The Conveyance Option shall expire if  Borrower
     fails  to  provide  such written notice  prior  to  the
     occurrence of the Conveyance Expiration Date.   If  the
     Borrower  exercises the Conveyance Option in accordance
     with  this  Section 2.16, then within twenty (20)  days
     after  receipt  of the Borrower's notification  of  the
     Borrower's  election to exercise the Conveyance  Option
     the  Lender shall designate in writing to the  Borrower
     the  closing  date for the conveyance (the  "Conveyance
     Date"),  which Conveyance Date shall be a Business  Day
     not  less than (60) days but not more than one  hundred
     and  twenty  (120)  days  after  the  date  the  Lender
     provides  such  designation to the Borrower.   Lender's
     designation of a Conveyance Date shall not be deemed  a
     waiver  of  any of its rights under this  Section  2.16
     including, without limitation, the right to  elect  not
     to accept the conveyance of any or all of the Mortgaged
     Properties  pursuant to Section 2.16(d).   The  closing
     shall  be  held  at  the offices of Lender  in  Denver,
     Colorado.

           (b)  Borrower and Lender shall each file on their
     own behalf, if required, such notifications and reports
     as  are  necessary to comply with the Hart-Scott-Rodino
     Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act").

            (c)   The  Borrower's  right  to  exercise   the
     Conveyance  Option  in accordance with  subsection  (a)
     above  is  subject  to Borrower's satisfaction  of  the
     following conditions precedent on the Conveyance Date:

                (i)  no Default shall have occurred  and  be
     continuing,  other than a Default based  on  Borrower's
     failure to comply with the terms of Section 2.08(b);


<PAGE>

                 (ii)   all   of  the  representations   and
     warranties of the Borrower contained in Sections  3.08,
     3.09,  3.11,  3.13  and  3.21  through  3.26  of   this
     Agreement  and,  to  the  extent  representations   and
     warranties  are  in the Assignment, in  the  Assignment
     shall  be true and correct in all material respects  on
     and as of the Conveyance Date;

                (iii) the Mortgaged Properties shall not  be
     subject to (A) any Liens other than the Excepted  Liens
     or (B) except to the extent same do not have a material
     adverse   effect   on  the  value  of   the   Mortgaged
     Properties,  any burdensome restriction,  restraint  or
     hazard  not  customary  in the  oil  and  gas  industry
     pursuant  to  any  contract  entered  into  after   the
     Amendment Date;

                (iv)  no  suit, action, or other  proceeding
     shall  be  pending or threatened before  any  court  or
     governmental  agency  (A) in  which  it  is  sought  to
     restrain  or prohibit the performance of or  to  obtain
     substantial damages or other relief in connection  with
     the  consummation of the transactions  contemplated  by
     the Assignment or (B) against or affecting Borrower  or
     any  Subsidiary  that involves the possibility  of  any
     judgment  or liability not fully covered by  insurance,
     and  which would have a material and adverse effect  on
     the value of the Mortgaged Properties taken as a whole;
     and

                (v) the Tranche A Warrant shall have expired
     or been fully exercised.

           (d)   Notwithstanding Borrower's right to  convey
     the  Mortgaged  Properties pursuant  to  paragraph  (a)
     above,  the Lender shall have the right, provided  that
     Lender notifies Borrower of its exercise of such  right
     at  least  three  (3)  days prior  to  the  closing  as
     provided for in Section 2.16(h), to elect not to accept
     the   conveyance  of  any  or  all  of  the   Mortgaged
     Properties and any election of the Lender to reject the
     conveyance  of  any or all of the Mortgaged  Properties
     shall not impair the extinguishment of the Extinguished
     Obligations as provided below.

          (e)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to


<PAGE>

     the  contrary,  from and after the Conveyance  Election
     Date, Borrower shall comply with the following:

                (i)  Borrower  shall  not  be  permitted  to
     propose  or commence any additional Capital Operations,
     and  the  obligations  of  Borrower  with  respect   to
     Scheduled  Capital Operations that would  otherwise  be
     required  to  be completed during the period  from  the
     Conveyance  Election Date through the Conveyance  Date,
     together  with  any related breaches of this  Agreement
     resulting from such prohibition, shall be waived.

                (ii)  Borrower shall immediately provide  or
     make  available to Lender copies of all AFE's,  notices
     and other information received by Borrower and relating
     to   the   ownership  or  operation  of  the  Mortgaged
     Properties.

                (iii)     Borrower shall not (A) operate  or
     in any manner deal with, incur obligations with respect
     to,  or  undertake  any transactions relating  to,  the
     Mortgaged Properties other than transactions (1) in the
     normal, usual and customary manner, (2) of a nature and
     in an amount consistent with prior practice, and (3) in
     the  ordinary and regular course of business of  owning
     and  operating the Mortgaged Properties; or (B)  waive,
     compromise  or  settle any right or  claim  that  would
     adversely affect the ownership, operation or  value  of
     any of the Mortgaged Properties; and

                 (iv)  Borrower  shall  make  or  give   all
     notifications, filings, consents or approvals, from, to
     or  with  all  governmental authorities, and  take  all
     other actions reasonably requested by Lender, necessary
     for,  and  cooperate prior to and after the  Conveyance
     Date with Lender in obtaining, the issuance, assignment
     or transfer, as the case may be, by each such authority
     of  such permits as may be necessary for Lender to  own
     and  operate  the  Mortgaged Properties  following  the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated  in  this
     Section 2.16.

           (f)  If Borrower properly exercises its right  to
     exercise  the  Conveyance Option,  then  prior  to  the
     Conveyance  Date Borrower shall cause the following  to
     occur:


<PAGE>

                (i)   all filings and notifications required
     to  be made or given by Borrower for the conveyance  of
     the  Mortgaged  Properties to Lender  shall  have  been
     made,  except  for filings and notifications  that  are
     customarily  made subsequent to the conveyance  of  oil
     and gas properties such as the Mortgaged Properties;

                (ii)  the waiting period under the  HSR  Act
     applicable  to  the transactions contemplated  in  this
     Section 2.16 shall have expired or been terminated; and

                (iii)     Within  30  days after  Borrower's
     delivery  of written notice of its election to exercise
     the Conveyance Option, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
     a  true and correct list of all (i) operating and other
     agreements and documents which contain options,  rights
     of  first  refusal,  preferential  purchase  rights  or
     similar  rights  respecting  the  Mortgaged  Properties
     ("Preferential Purchase Rights") and (ii) any  consents
     or  approvals that must be obtained from third  parties
     prior  to  the  assignment to Borrower of  any  of  the
     Mortgaged     Properties     ("Required     Consents").
     Thereafter, Borrower shall do the following:

                     (A)   On or before the Conveyance Date,
     Borrower  shall use reasonable efforts  to  obtain  all
     Required  Consents.  At least three days prior  to  the
     Conveyance  Date  Borrower shall  provide  Lender  with
     written  notice  specifying  any  Mortgaged  Properties
     ("Retained   Properties")  for  which   such   Required
     Consents  have  not obtained.  The Retained  Properties
     shall  be  excluded from the Assignment  and  shall  be
     retained  by  Borrower.   Contemporaneously  with   the
     closing provided for in Section 2.16(h), Borrower shall
     deliver  to  Lender in immediately available  funds  an
     amount  equal to the Fair Market Value of the  Retained
     Properties.   Notwithstanding anything  herein  to  the
     contrary,  if  the Fair Market Value  of  the  Retained
     Properties  equals or exceeds 25% of  the  Extinguished
     Obligations, then Lender shall have the right prior  to
     the Conveyance Date to terminate the Conveyance Option,
     whereupon  Borrower shall retain title to  all  of  the
     Mortgaged  Properties and the terms and  conditions  of
     this  Agreement  other  than this  Section  2.16  shall
     remain  in  full force and effect.  The  value  of  the


<PAGE>

     Retained Properties ("Fair Market Value of the Retained
     Properties") shall be determined as follows:  Within 20
     days  after  receipt  of  Borrower's  notice  delivered
     pursuant  to  the terms of Section 2.16(f)(iii)  above,
     Borrower  and  Lender shall attempt to agree  upon  the
     fair  market value of the Mortgaged Properties  subject
     to  Required Consents.  The fair market value  of  such
     properties   shall   take  into  account   the   proved
     producing, proved non-producing, probable and  possible
     oil  and  gas reserves attributable to such properties.
     If  Borrower and Lender are unable to agree on the fair
     market  value  of  such properties within  such  20-day
     period, then Borrower shall engage the engineering firm
     that  prepared the most recent Reserve Report  pursuant
     to Section 4.01.  Such engineering firm shall determine
     the  fair market value of the proved producing,  proved
     non-producing,  probable  and  possible  oil  and   gas
     reserves attributable to such properties based on  such
     assumptions   as  such  engineering   firm   may   deem
     appropriate utilizing customary industry practices.

                     (B)  Promptly after Lender's receipt of
     Borrower's  notice specifying the Mortgaged  Properties
     that  are  subject  to  Preferential  Purchase  Rights,
     Lender  shall notify Borrower of the dollar  amount  of
     the   Extinguished  Obligations  that  Lender  in   its
     reasonable  judgment is attributing to such properties.
     Thereafter,  Borrower shall use reasonable  efforts  to
     obtain  prior to the Conveyance Date the waiver of  all
     Preferential  Purchase  Rights  affecting  any  of  the
     Mortgaged  Properties.  If a third party who  has  been
     offered an interest pursuant to a Preferential Purchase
     Right  elects prior to the Conveyance Date to  purchase
     the  properties  subject to such Preferential  Purchase
     Right    ("Preferential    Properties"),    then    the
     Preferential  Properties  will  be  excluded  from  the
     Assignment  and  the Preferential Properties  shall  be
     conveyed  by  Borrower  to  the  party  exercising  the
     Preferential  Purchase Right.  The  conveyance  of  the
     Preferential  Properties shall be  consummated  on  the
     Conveyance   Date   and  the  party   exercising   such
     Preferential  Purchase  Right  shall  contemporaneously
     with  the  delivery  of  an  assignment  from  Borrower
     deliver  the purchase price, which shall be  the  value
     designated  by  Lender, in immediately available  funds
     directly to the Lender.


<PAGE>

           (g)   On the Conveyance Date the following  shall
     occur:

                (i)  Borrower shall deliver the following to
     the  Lender  and,  where applicable,  such  instruments
     should  be  dated as of the Conveyance  Date,  properly
     executed by authorized officers and, where appropriate,
     acknowledged:  (A) counterparts of the  Assignment  and
     such  other  instruments as are necessary to effectuate
     the  conveyance  of  the Mortgaged Properties  and  the
     Option Agreement to Lender (it being agreed that Lender
     shall be responsible for securing any consents required
     to  effect  an  assignment by Borrower  of  the  Option
     Agreement  to Lender); (B) letters in lieu of  division
     orders addressed to each purchaser of the Hydrocarbons;
     (C)  all of the Data (as defined in the Assignment)  to
     Lender's offices and shall deliver to Lender possession
     of  the  Mortgaged Properties; (D) with respect to  any
     wells that Borrower is designated as the operator under
     the  applicable  operating or other similar  agreement,
     letters  to  all  working  interest  owners  in   which
     Borrower resigns as the operator and recommends  Lender
     or  an  affiliate of Lender as the successor  operator;
     and (E) such other documents and instruments as may  be
     reasonably  necessary  to  give  full  effect  to   the
     transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16.

                (ii)  Lender shall deliver the following  to
     Borrower and, where applicable, such instruments  shall
     be  dated  as of the Conveyance Date, properly executed
     by   authorized   parties   and,   where   appropriate,
     acknowledged:    (A)  the  Note,  marked   "cancelled,"
     together  with  such  other  instruments  as   may   be
     reasonably necessary to evidence the extinguishment  of
     the  Extinguished  Obligations; (B) such  documents  or
     instruments  as may be necessary to cause the  property
     subject  to  the Security Instruments and  any  related
     Collateral, to the extent that such property is  either
     rejected  by Lender as provided in clause (d) above  or
     is  a  Retained Property, to be released from the Liens
     created   by   the   Security  Instruments;   and   (C)
     counterparts of the Assignment and such other documents
     and  instruments as may be reasonably necessary to give
     full  effect to the transactions contemplated  by  this
     Section 2.16.


<PAGE>

           (h)   Provided that the conditions set  forth  in
     clauses  (c) and (f) have been satisfied or  waived  by
     Lender  and provided further that Borrower has complied
     in all material respects with the covenants required to
     be  performed by it prior to the Conveyance Date,  then
     on  the  Conveyance  Date  (and contemporaneously  with
     Borrower's and Lender's execution of the Assignment, if
     applicable),  the  Extinguished  Obligations  shall  be
     deemed  fully  paid and extinguished.  In addition,  on
     the  Conveyance Date all Excluded Operation  Costs  and
     Excluded Overrun Expenses attributable to the Mortgaged
     Properties  shall be deemed paid in full  and  Borrower
     shall not be entitled to any additional payments of Net
     Operating Cash Flow.  Notwithstanding the execution  of
     the   Assignment   and   the  extinguishment   of   the
     Extinguished   Obligations,   Borrower   shall   remain
     responsible  for  all  other  Indebtedness   including,
     without  limitation, the obligations  with  respect  to
     which  Borrower is fully liable as provided in  Section
     6.03 below.

                (i)   As used in this Section 2.16, the term
     "Mortgaged  Properties" (A) shall not, from  and  after
     the  date of an election by Lender pursuant to  Section
     2.16(d)  to  exclude  properties from  the  Assignment,
     include any Mortgaged Properties with respect to  which
     Lender  has  exercised such right  and  (B)  shall  not
     include any Retained Properties.

           (j)   Contemporaneously with the closing provided
     for in Section 2.16(h), Borrower and Lender shall enter
     into  a termination agreement reasonably acceptable  to
     Borrower  and  Lender terminating the  Swap  Agreement.
     Such  termination agreement shall also  provide  for  a
     cash  payment  to be made by Borrower to Lender  or  by
     Lender  to Borrower, as the case may be, which  payment
     shall equal the monthly settlement amount due under the
     Swap Agreement prorated through the Conveyance Date and
     such  payment  shall not include an  early  termination
     payment.

          Section 2.17  Modification of Exhibits I and J.

           (a)   If  Lender does not consent to an AFE  with
     respect  to a Scheduled Capital Operation and  Borrower


<PAGE>

     either  (i) is not permitted to perform such  Scheduled
     Capital  Operation  as provided in Section  2.03(a)  or
     (ii)  elects  not  to commence such  Scheduled  Capital
     Operation  pursuant  to  Section  2.03(d),  or  if   an
     adjustment  to  Exhibit  J  is  required  pursuant   to
     Sections  2.18 or 2.20, then in any such case  Borrower
     and  Lender  shall  attempt to  mutually  agree  on  an
     appropriate  adjustment  to  the  Scheduled   Principal
     Amount  and  the  Required Trailing Twelve  Month  Cash
     Flow.  If Borrower and Lender are unable to agree on an
     appropriate  adjustment  to  such  amounts,  then   the
     Scheduled  Principal Amount and the  Required  Trailing
     Twelve  Month  Cash Flow shall instead be  adjusted  as
     provided for on Attachment 1 to Exhibit J.

           (b)   Commencing on August 1, 1996  and  on  each
     August  1 thereafter, Borrower shall have the right  on
     such date to propose to Lender revised Exhibits I and J
     to  this  Agreement.  If Borrower and  Lender  mutually
     agree  to  the  form  and  substance  of  such  revised
     Exhibits, then Borrower and Lender shall enter into  an
     acceptable  amendment  to this Agreement  incorporating
     such  revised Exhibits.  Nothing herein shall  obligate
     the  Lender  to  agree at any time to any  revision  to
     Exhibits I and/or J.

               Section 2.18  Cost Overruns.

          If Borrower anticipates incurring Overrun Expenses
     in  connection  with  any Capital  Operation,  Borrower
     shall  have  the  right to submit  a  Supplemental  AFE
     ("Supplemental AFE') to Lender, which Supplemental  AFE
     shall  set  forth the estimated amount of  the  Overrun
     Expenses,  a  copy  of  the  original  AFE   for   such
     operation,  the  status of the work  on  the  operation
     including  the  depth drilled, any  objective  zone  or
     zones that have been tested, the expenses incurred, the
     work  remaining  to be completed, the  estimated  costs
     necessary   to  complete  such  work  and  such   other
     information  as Lender may reasonably request.   Lender
     shall  respond to any such Supplemental AFE within  the
     time period provided for in Section 2.03(c).  If Lender
     approves such Supplemental AFE then the costs set forth
     in  the  Supplemental  AFE shall be  the  only  Overrun
     Expenses  approved with respect to such  operation  and
     such  costs  shall be used in calculating the  Approved


<PAGE>

     Overrun  Expenses.  If Lender elects not to consent  to
     the  Supplemental AFE or is deemed to have elected  not
     to consent to the Supplemental AFE, Borrower shall have
     the right to either (i) terminate its participation  in
     the  operation covered by the Supplemental AFE or  (ii)
     continue  its  participation  in  such  operation.   If
     Borrower  elects  the option set forth  in  clause  (i)
     above,  then  Borrower's obligation  to  complete  such
     operation shall terminate and Exhibit J attached hereto
     shall  be revised as provided for in Section 2.17.   If
     Borrower  elects to continue with its participation  as
     provided  for  in clause (ii), then Borrower  shall  be
     solely   responsible  for  its  share  of  the  Overrun
     Expenses ("Excluded Overrun Expenses") related  to  the
     operation  subject  to  the Excluded  Overrun  Expenses
     ("Excluded  Overrun  Operations");  provided,  however,
     notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Agreement  or  the
     Security Instruments to the contrary, Borrower shall be
     entitled  to the Net Operating Cash Flow, if any,  that
     is   attributable   solely  to  the  Excluded   Overrun
     Operation until such date as the Borrower has  received
     an  amount  equal  to  200%  of  the  Excluded  Overrun
     Expenses.   For  purposes of calculating Net  Operating
     Cash  Flow, Net Production Revenues and Operating Costs
     with  respect  to the Excluded Overrun  Operation,  the
     commencement  date for such calculations shall  be  the
     completion  date  of  the operations  that  caused  the
     Overrun Expenses.  Borrower shall not have the right to
     propose  a  Supplemental AFE with  respect  to  Overrun
     Expenses  incurred  in connection  with  any  Scheduled
     Capital  Operation if Borrower's share of  the  initial
     AFE  submitted to the working interest owners prior  to
     the  commencement  of such Scheduled Capital  Operation
     was more than 110% (115% after January 1, 1998), of the
     Schedule  I amount for such operation and such  initial
     AFE   was  not  submitted  to  Lender  prior   to   the
     commencement of such operation pursuant to the terms of
     Section 2.02(b).

           The Net Operating Cash Flow to which Borrower  is
     entitled   pursuant   to   the  immediately   preceding
     paragraph shall be excluded from the calculation of the
     Monthly  Payment Amount.  At such time as Borrower  has
     received  Net  Operating Cash Flow  from  the  Excluded
     Overrun Operation equal to 200% of the Excluded Overrun
     Expenses,  the Net Operating Cash Flow related  to  the


<PAGE>

     Excluded  Overrun Operation shall no longer be excluded
     from the calculation of the Monthly Payment Amount  and
     shall   instead   be  included  in  such  calculations.
     Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall in any manner waive,
     limit or otherwise affect the Liens granted pursuant to
     the   Security   Instruments  against   the   Mortgaged
     Properties subject to the Excluded Overrun Operation.

           Section  2.19   Use  of Proceeds.   The  Borrower
     agrees  to  use the proceeds of the Loan made hereunder
     only for the following purposes:

           (a)  Up to $5,800,000 to be used to reimburse the
     Borrower  for  80%  of the costs of the  Prior  Capital
     Operations.

           (b)   Up  to  $15,000,000 to be used  to  fund  a
     portion   of   the  purchase  price  of  the   Sandefer
     Properties.

           (c)   Up  to  $38,000,000 to be used  to  fund  a
     portion  of  the purchase price of the Wagner  &  Brown
     Properties.

           Section  2.20  Mandatory Capital Expenses.   From
     and  after the Amendment Date and subject to the  terms
     of  this  Section  2.20, Borrower  shall  maintain  the
     leases  described on Exhibit S attached hereto in  full
     force  and effect.  If Borrower determines at any  time
     that  in  order  to  maintain any  lease  described  on
     Exhibit  S it anticipates incurring expenses in  excess
     of  110%  of the amount set forth on Exhibit S  as  the
     projected cost of extending or renewing such lease  for
     the  time  period specified on Exhibit S, then Borrower
     shall  have the right to submit an request for approval
     (a  "Lease Extension AFE") to Lender setting forth  the
     amount of such excess.  Borrower's Lease Extension  AFE
     shall include information relating to the consideration
     being   requested  by  the  lessor   and   such   other
     information  as Lender may reasonably request.   Lender
     shall  respond  to  any such request  within  the  time
     period provided for in Section 2.03(c) with respect  to
     AFEs.  If Lender consents to Borrower's Lease Extension
     AFE,  then  Exhibit  S  shall  be  deemed  modified  to
     increase  the applicable amount set forth on Exhibit  S
     by  the  excess amount approved by Lender.   If  Lender


<PAGE>

     elects  not  to  consent to Borrower's  request  or  is
     deemed  to have elected not to consent to such request,
     Borrower  shall have the right to either (i) allow  the
     lease  in  question  to  terminate  or  (ii)  make  the
     payments  provided  for in its  request.   If  Borrower
     elects  the option set forth in clause (i) above,  then
     Borrower's  obligation with respect  to  any  Scheduled
     Capital   Operations  attributable  to  the  lease   in
     question shall terminate and Exhibit J attached  hereto
     shall  be revised as provided for in Section 2.17.   If
     Borrower  elects  to extend the lease  in  question  as
     provided  for  in clause (ii), then Borrower  shall  be
     solely   responsible  for  its  share  of   all   costs
     ("Excluded Leasehold Expenses") thereafter incurred  to
     extend  the lease in question and develop the leasehold
     properties ("Excluded Leasehold Properties"); provided,
     however, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement  or
     the  Security  Instruments to  the  contrary,  Borrower
     shall  be  entitled to the Net Operating Cash Flow,  if
     any,  that  is  attributable  solely  to  the  Excluded
     Leasehold  Properties until such date as  the  Borrower
     has  received  an amount equal to 300% of the  Excluded
     Leasehold  Expenses.  For purposes of  calculating  Net
     Operating  Cash  Flow,  Net  Production  Revenues   and
     Operating  Costs with respect to the Excluded Leasehold
     Properties,  the commencement date for such calculation
     shall  be  the date Borrower makes the lease  extension
     payment that was the subject of the request that Lender
     rejected.   With  respect  to  any  Excluded  Leasehold
     Properties, Borrower shall not be permitted to commence
     the  drilling of any well with respect to such property
     until after the Conveyance Expiration Date.

     3. Section 3.06 of the Agreement is amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

          Section 3.06     Financial Condition.  The audited
     consolidated  balance  sheet  of  the  Borrower  as  at
     December   31,   1994,  and  the  related  consolidated
     statement  of  income, changes in shareholders'  equity
     and  cash flow of the Borrower for the period ended  as
     of  said  date heretofore furnished to Lender  and  the
     unaudited consolidated interim financial statements  of
     the  Borrower  dated as of March 31,  1995,  heretofore
     furnished  to  Lender have been prepared in  accordance
     with  GAAP  and present fairly the financial  condition


<PAGE>

     and changes in financial position of the Borrower as at
     the date or dates and for the period or periods stated.
     Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents (as defined in
     the  Anschutz  Purchase Agreement), since December  31,
     1994,  no  change,  either  in  any  case  or  in   the
     aggregate,   has  since  occurred  in  the   condition,
     financial  or  otherwise, of the Borrower  which  would
     have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4. Section 4.01 of the Agreement is amended by inserting
the following subsection:

             (j)    Accountant's   Compliance   Certificate.
     Contemporaneously with the delivery  of  the  financial
     statements  required  pursuant  to  subsection  4.01(a)
     above,  Borrower  shall  cause its  independent  public
     accountants  delivering  the  financial  statements  to
     state  that in making the examination and reporting  on
     the  financial statements described in Section  4.01(a)
     above, nothing came to their attention to cause them to
     believe  that  Borrower has failed  to  comply  in  any
     material  respect  with  the financial  and  accounting
     provisions  of this Agreement, or if they  do  conclude
     that  Borrower  so failed, specifying  the  nature  and
     period of existence of such failure.

     5.    Section  4.05(b) of this Agreement is amended  by
inserting the following at the end of such Section:

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender
     acknowledges  and  agrees  that  Borrower   may   allow
     Hydrocarbon  Interests  to expire  according  to  their
     terms  if  such  Hydrocarbon Interests  are  no  longer
     capable   of  producing  Hydrocarbons  in  economically
     reasonable  amounts.   Lender  acknowledges  that   the
     Cuellar Lease has been determined not to be capable  of
     producing   Hydrocarbons  in  economically   reasonable
     amounts.

     If   subsequent   to  the  expiration  of   Hydrocarbon
     Interests pursuant to the preceding provision  Borrower
     obtains new Hydrocarbon Interests (such new Hydrocarbon
     Interests,  to the extent same cover lands  and  depths
     covered  by  the  expired Hydrocarbon Interests,  being
     herein referred to as "Replacement Interests") covering
     some  or  all  of the lands and depths covered  by  the


<PAGE>

     expired  Hydrocarbon Interests, Borrower shall  provide
     Lender  with the opportunity to include the Replacement
     Interests  as part of the Collateral.  On or  prior  to
     the  date  Borrower obtains the Replacement  Interests,
     Borrower  shall  provide Lender with a  written  notice
     describing the Replacement Interests, the consideration
     paid  or to be paid to obtain the Replacement Interests
     and  such  other  information as Lender may  reasonably
     request.  If available, a copy of the document creating
     the  Hydrocarbon  Interests shall be attached  to  such
     notice.  Lender shall respond to such notice within ten
     (10)  Business Days following receipt thereof.  Failure
     of  Lender  to notify Borrower in writing  within  such
     period  of  time  of  its  election  to  include   such
     Replacement Interests as a part of the Collateral shall
     be deemed to constitute an election by Lender not to do
     so.  If Lender timely elects to include the Replacement
     Interests   as  part  of  the  Collateral,   then   the
     acquisition  of  the  Replacement  Interests  shall  be
     deemed  an  Approved  Nonscheduled  Capital  Operation.
     Within  ten (10) Business Days after Lender's  election
     to   include  Replacement  Interests  as  part  of  the
     Collateral  (or  if  Borrower  has  not  executed   the
     document   or   documents  creating  such   Replacement
     Interests  by such time, within ten (10) Business  Days
     following  such execution), Borrower shall execute  and
     deliver to the Lender instruments sufficient to subject
     the Replacement Interests and the lands covered thereby
     to   Liens  for  the  benefit  of  the  Lender,   which
     instruments  shall include amendments to  the  Security
     Instruments.    In  addition,  with  respect   to   any
     Replacement Interests Borrower shall take such  further
     actions  as  may be required pursuant to  Section  4.06
     hereof.   Once the Replacement Interests become subject
     to  the  Security  Instruments,  Borrower  may  propose
     operations with respect to the acreage included  within
     the  Replacement Interests in accordance with the terms
     of Section 2.03.  If Lender elects or is deemed to have
     elected  not  to include the Replacement  Interests  as
     part  of  the Collateral, then Borrower shall have  the
     right   to  acquire  such  Replacement  Interests   and
     thereafter   develop  the  acreage   subject   to   the
     Replacement  Interests without any further  involvement
     of Lender.

     6. Section 4.09 of this Agreement is amended by inserting


<PAGE>

the following at the end of such Section:

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower's right  to
     receive  the proceeds of insurance as payment  for  the
     restoration of the Mortgaged Properties shall, if  such
     proceeds  are  in an amount greater than  $100,000,  be
     subject to approval as a Nonscheduled Capital Operation
     under  Section  2.03.   Any  such  proceeds  shall   be
     delivered  to  and  retained by Lender  until  Borrower
     proposes  a subsequent operation with respect  to  such
     proceeds.    If  the  Lender  does  not   approve   the
     subsequent operation proposed by Borrower, then (i) the
     related  proceeds  shall  be  retained  by  Lender  and
     applied  in  the order provided for in Section  2.08(c)
     above  and  (ii) Borrower and Lender shall  attempt  in
     good  faith  to  mutually agree  on  an  adjustment  to
     Exhibit  J  to this Agreement to reflect an appropriate
     reduction in the Monthly Payment Amount resulting  from
     such casualty loss.  Any such adjustment shall be based
     on  the  adjustment provisions and principles  provided
     for in Section 2.17.  Neither Borrower nor Lender shall
     have  any liability if after the exercise of good faith
     the  parties  are  unable  to agree  to  an  acceptable
     modification to Exhibit J pursuant to the terms of this
     Section 4.09.

     7.    Section 4.17 of this Agreement is amended in  its
entirety to read as follows:

          Section 4.17     Capital Expenditures.  Subject to
     the terms of this Section 4.17 and to Lender's approval
     rights  as  set  forth  in Section  2.02  and  2.03(a),
     Borrower   agrees  to  make  the  capital  expenditures
     involved  in  and  to drill, complete,  and  equip  for
     production, or recomplete and rework, as the  case  may
     be,  each of the wells and to conduct each of the other
     Scheduled   Capital   Operations  and   Prior   Capital
     Operations  described  or  referred  to  on  Exhibit  I
     hereto.  Borrower shall commence each Scheduled Capital
     Operation no earlier than six (6) months prior  to  the
     first  day  of, and no later than six (6) months  after
     the  last day of, the month specified on Exhibit I with
     respect to such Scheduled Capital Operation (such  time
     period,   with   respect  to  a  particular   Scheduled
     Operation,  being  herein referred to  as  the  "Window
     Period") and shall thereafter conduct such operation as


<PAGE>

     a reasonable and prudent operator.  For purposes of all
     Scheduled Capital Operations providing for the drilling
     of  a  well,  such operation shall be  deemed  to  have
     commenced   on   the   date  the   well   is   spudded.
     Notwithstanding  the foregoing or any  other  provision
     within  this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower  shall
     not   be  required  to  commence  a  Scheduled  Capital
     Operation with respect to which (i) Borrower submits an
     AFE pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and Lender rejects such
     AFE;  (ii)  Lender refuses to consent to such operation
     pursuant to Section 2.03(a); (iii) Lender elects not to
     consent  to  a  Supplemental AFE with respect  to  such
     operation pursuant to Section 2.18 and Borrower  elects
     the  option  set forth in clause (i) thereof;  or  (iv)
     Borrower  provides evidence satisfactory to the  Lender
     that  such  operation is not reasonably  necessary  and
     Lender has consented in writing to delay or elimination
     thereof.

     8.  Article 4 of the Agreement is amended by adding the
     following new Sections:

            Section  4.19      Warrant  Proceeds.   Borrower
     hereby acknowledges that so long as any Indebtedness is
     outstanding  Lender  will be entitled  to  receive  all
     proceeds  from  the  exercise  of  the  Warrants.   All
     proceeds received by Lender as a result of the exercise
     of  the  Warrants shall be applied as provided  for  in
     Sections 2.08(c), (d) and (e), as applicable.  Borrower
     shall  from  time-to-time issue to the holders  of  the
     Warrants  (other  than Lender)   such  notices  as  are
     required to ensure that for so long as any Indebtedness
     is  outstanding all payments required  to  be  made  in
     connection with the exercise of the Warrants  shall  be
     paid  from the holder of the Warrants directly  to  the
     Lender.  In addition, Borrower hereby acknowledges that
     if  the  Anschutz Option is exercised, Lender  will  be
     entitled to receive the Warrant Premium, which  Warrant
     Premium  shall be retained by Lender and  will  not  be
     applied to the Indebtedness.

            Section  4.20      Curative  Issues.   On  or  before
     Decmeber  31,  1995, the Borrower shall (a) (i)  obtain,  on
     terms  no  less  favorable to the Borrower in  any  material
     respects than those contained in the Vela Lease dated  April
     18,  1988  (as amended, "Vela Lease"), oil and gas leasehold


<PAGE>

     interests  ("Replacement Leases") covering the  acreage  and
     depths  which were previously covered by the Vela Lease  and
     pledged  to  the Lender pursuant to the Security Instruments
     but  that, as of July 27, 1995, are no longer subject to (A)
     the  Vela  Lease  or  (B)  leasehold interests  constituting
     Mortgaged  Properties and (ii) execute and  deliver  to  the
     Lender such Security Instruments that are necessary or  that
     are reasonably requested by the Lender to grant the Lender a
     first  priority  perfected lien in the  Replacement  Leases,
     subject  only  to  the Permitted Encumbrances  described  in
     Exhibit  A  to the Deed of Trust, Assignment of  Production,
     Security  Agreement  and Financing  Statement  dated  as  of
     December 28, 1993; or (b) prepay the principal amount of the
     Loan  outstanding hereunder in an amount equal to  $100,000.
     Any prepayment made under this Section 4.20 shall be applied
     first to the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche  A
     Loan  and then to the outstanding principal balance  of  the
     Tranche  B  Loan.   In connection with any  prepayment  made
     under  this  Section 4.20, the Borrower shall also  pay  the
     accrued  but  unpaid  interest on the outstanding  principal
     amount  of  each Loan Tranche being prepaid to the  date  of
     prepayment.

     9.  Section 5.01 of the Agreement is amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

           Section  5.01   Liens.   The  Borrower  will  not
     create,  incur, assume, or permit to exist any Lien  on
     any  of  the  Mortgaged  Properties  except  (a)  Liens
     securing  the  payment  of  any  Indebtedness  and  (b)
     Excepted  Liens.   Notwithstanding  anything  in   this
     Agreement  to  the contrary, the term "Excepted  Liens"
     shall not include the Chase Lien.

     10.   Section 5.03 of the Agreement is amended  in  its
entirety to read as follows:

            Section  5.03      Sale  of  Assets,  Etc.   The
     Borrower  will  not sell, assign, lease,  or  otherwise
     dispose  of (whether in one transaction or in a  series
     of  transactions)  all  or  substantially  all  of  its
     Properties  (exclusive  of the  Mortgaged  Properties),
     whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to any  Person
     unless  in  connection  with any such  transaction  the
     assignee (i) acquires the Mortgaged Properties and (ii)
     expressly  assumes  in  writing the  due  and  punctual


<PAGE>

     performance   and  observance  of  all  of   Borrower's
     obligations   under  this  Agreement  and   the   Price
     Protection  Agreements.   Contemporaneously  with   the
     closing of any such transaction, Borrower shall provide
     Lender  with  an  original signed  counterpart  of  the
     assumption agreement.

     11.   Section 5.06 of the Agreement is amended  in  its
entirety to read as follows:

           Section 5.06     Sale of Properties.       Except
     as  permitted pursuant to Sections 2.16 and  5.03,  the
     Borrower  will  not  sell  or  otherwise  transfer  any
     Mortgaged  Property other than the sale of Hydrocarbons
     after they have been produced in the ordinary course of
     business.

     12.   The  Agreement is amended by adding the following
Sections:

           Section 5.13     Warrants.  The Borrower will not
     create, incur, assume, or permit to exist any agreement
     of the Borrower which could prohibit the payment of the
     proceeds  from the exercise of any of the  Warrants  to
     the  Lender  for  application in  accordance  with  the
     provisions  of  Sections  2.08(c)  and  (d).   Borrower
     hereby represents to Lender that no agreement currently
     exists  which  (i) could prohibit the  payment  to  the
     Lender of the proceeds from the exercise of any of  the
     Warrants  or  (ii) the application of such proceeds  in
     accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.08(c)  and
     (d).   The Borrower will not amend, supplement, replace
     or  otherwise modify the terms of the Tranche A Warrant
     to  permit the exercise of the Tranche A Warrant  on  a
     date occurring after the Expiration Date (as defined in
     the  Tranche  A  Warrant  as in  effect  on  even  date
     herewith).

     13.  Section 6.01(l) of the Agreement is amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

           (l) The Borrower shall default in performance  of
     any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement, Option
     Agreement,  any  other Price Protection Agreement,  the
     Warrants, or the Registration Rights Agreement; or


<PAGE>

     14.   Section 8.07 of the Agreement is amended  in  its
entirety to read as follows:

            Section  8.07    Successors  and  Assigns.   All
     covenants  and agreements contained by or on behalf  of
     the  Borrower under this Agreement and any  other  Loan
     Document  shall  bind its successors  and  assigns  and
     shall  inure  to  the  benefit of the  Lender  and  its
     successors  and  assigns.   The  Borrower  shall   not,
     however, have the right to assign its rights under this
     Agreement  or  any interest herein, without  the  prior
     written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may, without
     the consent of Borrower, (i) prior to the expiration of
     the Anschutz Option, sell, assign, transfer, pledge  or
     grant  a  security interest in all, but not  less  than
     all,  of  its  interests in the  Tranche  B  Loan,  the

                            Attachment 1 to Exhibit J


If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17 of the Agreement Borrower and
Lender are unable to agree on an adjustment to either the Required Trailing
Twelve Month Cash Flow or the Scheduled Principal Amount, the disputed item or
items, as the case may be, shall be determined as follows:

A. REQUIRED TRAILING TWELVE MONTH CASH FLOWS - The Required Trailing Twelve
Month Cash Flow set forth on Exhibit J for each future Semiannual Payment Date
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the future net revenue attributable to
the Scheduled Capital Operation that triggered the need for an adjustment
pursuant to Section 2.17 (the "Subject Operation"), as such future net revenue
is set forth on the economic evaluation for such operation included as a part of
this Attachment 1. for the twelve month period ending on the date two months
prior to such Semiannual Payment Date.  In addition, with respect to the first
Semiannual Payment Date following the occurrence of the event that triggered the
need for an adjustment pursuant to Section 2.17, the Required Trailing Twelve
Month Cash Flow for such Semiannual Payment Date shall be reduced by the amount
of any capital costs actually incurred by Borrower with respect to the Subject
Operation that were approved by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Agreement
and incurred by Bower prior to the date Borrower elected not to commence, or to
discontinue, such operation.  If with respect to any Mandatory Capital Expense,
Borrower allows a Lease to lapse and Borrower does not spend the entire amount
referenced on Exhibit S, then with respect to the first Semiannual Payment Date
following the lapse of such Lease the required Trailing Twelve Month Cash Flow
for such Semiannual Payment Date shall be increased by the amount of the unused
funds.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the
Semiannual Payment Date occurring on December 31, 2000, the twelve month period
referenced in the first sentence of this Section A shall be the period ending on
December 31, 2000 and not two months prior to such date.

B. SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS - The Scheduled Principal Amount set forth on
Exhibit J for each future Semiannual Payment Date shall be increased by an
amount equal to (i) 90% of the cumulative sum of the operating revenues
attributable to the Subject Operation, as such operating revenues are set forth
on the economic evaluation for such operation included as part of this
Attachment 1, through the date which is two months prior to such Semiannual
Payment Date and reduced by an amount equal to (ii) 80% of the net total
investment set forth on the same economic evaluation to be spent prior to the
date which is two months prior to such Semiannual Payment Date.  In addition,
with respect to the first Semiannual Payment Date, following the occurrence of
the event that triggered the need for an adjustment pursuant to Section 2.17,
the Scheduled Principal Amount for such Semiannual Payment Date shall be
increased by the Capital Expenses actually incurred by Borrower with respect to
the Subject Operation prior to the date Borrower elected not to commence, or to
discontinue, such operation.

If with respect to any Mandatory Capital Expense, Borrower allows a Lease to
lapse and Borrower does not spend the entire amount referenced on Exhibit S,
then with respect to the first Semiannual Payment Date following the lapse of
such Lease the required Scheduled Principal Amount for such Semiannual Payment
Date shall be reduced by the unspent portion of such Mandatory Capital Expense.
For any Subject Operation originally scheduled on Exhibit I to be performed
prior to December 31, 2000, with respect to each Semiannual Payment Date, the
cumulative adjustment described in the previous three sentences of this Section
B shall be

<PAGE>

increased by an amount equal to the cumulative accrued interest at 12.5% per
annum compounded monthly on the cash flow stream through the date two months
prior to such Semiannual Payment Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, with respect to the Semiannual Payment Date occurring on December 31,
2000, the twelve month period referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be
the period ending on December 31, 2000 and not two months prior to such date.

          1.   DIVISION OF PROCEEDS.  From and after the date of execution of
this Assignment (the "Closing Date"), all Hydrocarbons produced from the
Properties on or after the Effective Time shall be owned by Assignee. In
addition, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan
Agreement (and without in any way expanding or affecting the limited recourse of
Assignor for the Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Loan Agreement)
Assignor shall make to Assignee all payments due under the Loan Agreement
through the Effective Time and the amount, if any, by which (i) 90% of the Net
Operating Cash Flow (as defined in Loan Agreement) through the Effective Time
but including all Net Operating Cash Flow resulting from the Hydrocarbons in
tanks on the Effective Time, less (ii) cumulative Capital Expenses (as defined
in the Loan Agreement) through the Effective Time, exceeds (iii) the sum of all
Monthly Payment Amounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement) paid to Assignee
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement for all prior months.

          2.   RECEIPTS AND CREDITS.  All monies, proceeds, receipts, credits
and income attributable to the Properties (a) for all periods of time subsequent
to the Effective Time, shall be the sole property and entitlement of Assignee,
and, to the extent received by Assignor, Assignor shall fully disclose, account
for and transmit same to Assignee promptly and (b) for all periods of time prior
to the Effective Time (including without limitation, proceeds from the sale of
Hydrocarbons produced prior to the Effective Time that are received after the
Effective Time), shall be the sole property and entitlement of Assignor and, to
the extent received by Assignee, Assignee shall fully disclose, account for and
transmit same to Assignor promptly. All costs, expenses, disbursements,
obligations and liabilities attributable to the Properties (i) for periods of
time prior to the Effective Time, regardless of when due or payable, shall be
the sole obligation of Assignor, and Assignor shall promptly pay, or if properly
paid by


                                       -3-

<PAGE>

Assignee, promptly reimburse Assignee for and hold Assignee harmless from and
against same and (ii) for periods of time subsequent to the Effective Time,
regardless of when due or payable, shall be the sole obligation of Assignee, and
Assignee shall promptly pay, or if properly paid by Assignor, promptly reimburse
Assignor for and hold Assignor harmless from and against same. All Operation
Costs and Net Production Revenues attributable to the period prior to the
Effective time shall be taken into account in connection with the determination
of any Monthly Payment Amounts payable under the Loan Agreement through the
Effective Time. Nothing in the foregoing shall limit or modify the payment
obligations provided for in Section II.A.1.

          3.   APPORTIONMENT OF AD VALOREM AND PROPERTY TAXES. All ad valorem
taxes, real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar obligations
("Property Taxes") attributable to the Properties shall be apportioned as of the
Effective Time between Assignor and Assignee. The owner of record on the
assessment date shall file or cause to be filed all required reports and returns
incident to the Property Taxes and shall pay or cause to be paid to the taxing
authorities all Property Taxes relating to the tax periods during which the
Effective Time occurs. If Assignor is the owner of record on the assessment
date, then Assignee shall pay to Assignor Assignee's pro rata portion, if any,
of such Property Taxes within 15 days from the date such taxes are required to
be paid to the taxing authorities and after receipt of Assignor's invoice
therefor. If Assignee is the owner of record as of the assessment date then
Assignor shall pay to Assignee Assignor's pro rata portion of such Property
Taxes, if any, within 15 days from the date such taxes are required to be paid
to the taxes authorities and after receipt of Assignee's invoice therefor.

      B.  ACCOUNTING.

          As soon as practical and, in any event, no later than ninety calendar
days after the Closing Date, Assignor shall prepare and deliver to Assignee a
statement (the "Final Statement") setting forth a net amount that Assignor or
the Assignee owes to the other as a result of the application of the provisions
of Section 2 above. If Assignor and Assignee cannot agree upon the Final
Statement, the Houston Office of the firm of _____________________________ is
designated to act as an arbitrator and to decide all points of disagreement with
respect to the Final Statement, such decision to be binding on both parties. If
such firm is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, Assignor and
Assignee shall attempt to, in good faith, designate another acceptable person as
the sole arbitrator under this Section. If the parties are unable to agree upon
the designation of a person as substitute arbitrator, then Assignor or Assignee,
or both of them, may in writing request the Judge of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas senior in term of service to appoint
the substitute arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted under the Texas
General Arbitration Act and the rules of the American Arbitration Association to
the extent such rules do not conflict with the terms of such Act and the terms
hereof. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator, whether the firm designated
above, or a third party appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
shared equally by Assignor and Assignee.

          Within five business days after the agreement of Assignor and Assignee
on the Final Statement or after the decision of the arbitrator, Assignee or
Assignor, as the case may be, shall promptly make a cash payment to the other
equal to the sums as may be found to be due in the Final Statement.

expenses of investigating, defending and prosecuting litigation (collectively,
