PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
The Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnership I-D (the "I-D Partnership"),
Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnership I-E (the "I-E Partnership"), and
Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnership I-F (the "I-F Partnership")
(collectively, the "Partnerships") are limited partnerships formed under the
Oklahoma Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Each Partnership is composed
of public investors as limited partners (the "Limited Partners") and Geodyne
Resources, Inc. ("Geodyne"), a Delaware corporation, as the general partner. The
Partnerships commenced operations on the dates set forth below:
Date of
Partnership Activation
----------- ------------------
I-D March 4, 1986
I-E September 10, 1986
I-F December 16, 1986
Immediately following activation, each Partnership invested as a general
partner in a separate Oklahoma general partnership which actually conducts the
Partnerships' production operations. Geodyne serves as managing partner of such
general partnerships. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to
any single Partnership or all of the Partnerships in this Annual Report on Form
10-K405 ("Annual Report") are references to the Partnership and its related
general partnership, collectively. In addition, unless the context indicates
otherwise, all references to the "General Partner" in this Annual Report are
references to Geodyne as the general partner of the Partnerships, and as the
managing partner of the related general partnerships.
The General Partner currently serves as general partner of 26 limited
partnerships, including the Partnerships. The General Partner is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Samson Investment Company. Samson Investment Company and its
various corporate subsidiaries, including the General Partner (collectively
"Samson"), are primarily engaged in the production and development of and
exploration for oil and gas reserves and the acquisition and operation of
producing properties. At December 31, 1999, Samson owned interests in
approximately 14,000 oil and gas wells located in 17 states of the United States
and the countries of Canada, Venezuela, and Russia. At December 31, 1999, Samson
operated approximately 3,400 oil and gas wells located in 15 states of the
United States, as well as Canada, Venezuela, and Russia.
-4-
<PAGE>
The Partnerships are currently engaged in the business of owning interests
in producing oil and gas properties located in the continental United States.
The Partnerships may also engage to a limited extent in development drilling on
producing oil and gas properties as required for the prudent management of the
Partnerships.
As limited partnerships, the Partnerships have no officers, directors, or
employees. They rely instead on the personnel of the General Partner and the
other Samson Companies. As of February 15, 2000, Samson employed approximately
920 persons. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and
management believes that Samson provides a sound employee relations environment.
For information regarding the executive officers of the General Partner, see
"Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the General Partner."
The General Partner's and the Partnerships' principal place of business is
located at Samson Plaza, Two West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, and
their telephone number is (918) 583-1791 or (888) 436-3963 [(888) GEODYNE].
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements for the Partnerships
(the "Partnership Agreements"), the Partnerships would have terminated on
December 31, 1999. However, the Partnership Agreements provide that the General
Partner may extend the term of each Partnership for up to five periods of two
years each. The General Partner has extended the terms of Partnerships for the
first two year extension period to December 31, 2001.
Funding
Although the Partnership Agreements permit each Partnership to incur
borrowings, operations and expenses are currently funded out of each
Partnership's revenues from oil and gas sales. The General Partner may, but is
not required to, advance funds to a Partnership for the same purposes for which
Partnership borrowings are authorized.
Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered
The Partnerships' sole business is the production of, and related
incidental development of, oil and gas. The Partnerships do not refine or
otherwise process crude oil and condensate. The Partnerships do not hold any
patents, trademarks, licenses, or concessions and are not a party to any
government contracts. The Partnerships have no backlog of orders and do not
participate in research and development activities. The Partnerships are not
presently encountering shortages of oilfield tubular goods, compressors,
production material, or other equipment.

<PAGE>
Competition and Marketing
The domestic oil and gas industry is highly competitive, with a large
number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration and development
of oil and gas properties. The ability of the Partnerships to produce and market
oil and gas profitably depends on a number of factors that are beyond the
control of the Partnerships. These factors include worldwide political
instability (especially in oil-producing regions), United Nations export
embargoes, the supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas, the level of
consumer product demand (which can be heavily influenced by weather patterns),
government regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative
fuels, the overall economic environment, and the availability and capacity of
transportation and processing facilities. The effect of these factors on future
oil and gas industry trends cannot be accurately predicted or anticipated.
The most important variable affecting the Partnerships' revenues is the
prices received for the sale of oil and gas. Predicting future prices is not
possible. Concerning past trends, average yearly wellhead gas prices in the
United States have been volatile for many years. Over the past ten years such
average prices have generally been in the $1.40 to $2.40 per Mcf range. Gas
prices are currently in the upper end of this range.
Substantially all of the Partnerships' gas reserves are being sold on the
"spot market." Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive nature of the spot
market. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature
and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines. Spot prices for the Partnerships' gas increased from approximately
$2.03 per Mcf at December 31, 1998 to approximately $2.24 per Mcf at December
31, 1999. Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and differ from the prices actually
received by the Partnerships due to transportation and marketing costs, BTU
adjustments, and regional price and quality differences.
For the past ten years, average oil prices have generally been in the
$16.00 to $24.00 per barrel range, but have been extremely volatile over the
past two years. Due to global consumption and supply trends as well as a
slowdown in Asian energy demand, oil prices in late 1997 and early 1998 reached
historically low levels, dropping to as low as approximately $9.25 per barrel.
However, production curtailment agreements among major oil producing nations
have caused recent oil prices to climb to over $24.00 per barrel in some
markets. It is not known whether this trend will continue. Prices for the
Partnerships' oil increased from approximately $9.50 per barrel at December 31,
1998 to approximately $22.75 per barrel at December 31, 1999.
-6-
<PAGE>
Future prices for both oil and gas will likely be different from the
prices in effect on December 31, 1999. Management is unable to predict whether
future oil and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.
Significant Customers
The following customers accounted for ten percent or more of the
Partnerships' oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 1999:
Partnership Customer Percentage
----------- -------- ----------
I-D El Paso Energy Marketing
Company ("El Paso") 48.4%
Conoco, Inc. 18.8%
Hallwood Petroleum 11.7%
I-E El Paso 54.6%
I-F El Paso 30.7%
Amoco Production Co. 11.7%
Conoco, Inc. 10.8%
In the event of interruption of purchases by one or more of the
Partnerships' significant customers or the cessation or material change in
availability of open access transportation by the Partnerships' pipeline
transporters, the Partnerships may encounter difficulty in marketing their gas
and in maintaining historic sales levels. Management does not expect any of its
open access transporters to seek authorization to terminate their transportation
services. Even if the services were terminated, management believes that
alternatives would be available whereby the Partnerships would be able to
continue to market their gas.
The Partnerships' principal customers for crude oil production are
refiners and other companies which have pipeline facilities near the producing
properties of the Partnerships. In the event pipeline facilities are not
conveniently available to production areas, crude oil is usually trucked by
purchasers to storage facilities.

Oil, Gas, and Environmental Control Regulations
Regulation of Production Operations -- The production of oil and gas is
subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations governing a wide
variety of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates
of production, prevention of waste and pollution, and protection of the
environment. In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such
regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain
regulations limit oil and gas production to below economic levels.
Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Oil and Gas -- Sales of crude
oil and condensate are made by the Partnerships at market prices and are not
subject to price controls. The sale of gas may be subject to both federal and
state laws and regulations. The provisions of these laws and regulations are
complex and affect all who produce, resell, transport, or purchase gas,
including the Partnerships. Although virtually all of the Partnerships' gas
production is not subject to price regulation, other regulations affect the
availability of gas transportation services and the ability of gas consumers to
continue to purchase or use gas at current levels. Accordingly, such regulations
may have a material effect on the Partnerships' operations and projections of
future oil and gas production and revenues.
Future Legislation -- Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is
under constant review for amendment or expansion. Because such laws and
regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, management is unable to
predict what additional energy legislation may be proposed or enacted or the
future cost and impact of complying with existing or future regulations.
Regulation of the Environment -- The Partnerships' operations are subject
to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Compliance with
such laws and regulations, together with any penalties resulting from
noncompliance may increase the cost of the Partnerships' operations or may
affect the Partnerships' ability to timely complete existing or future
activities. Management anticipates that various local, state, and federal
environmental control agencies will have an increasing impact on oil and gas
operations.
-8-
<PAGE>
Insurance Coverage
The Partnerships are subject to all of the risks inherent in the
exploration for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, pollution,
fires, and other casualties. The Partnerships maintain insurance coverage as is
customary for entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to that
of the Partnerships, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts
in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is
not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnerships' financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

(1) The designation of a well as an oil well or gas well is made by the
General Partner based on the relative amount of oil and gas reserves for
the well. Regardless of a well's oil or gas designation, it may produce
oil, gas, or both oil and gas.
(2) As used in this Annual Report, "gross well" refers to a well in which a
working interest is owned, accordingly, the number of gross wells is the
total number of wells in which a working interest is owned.
(3) As used in this Annual Report, "net well" refers to the sum of the
fractional working interests owned in gross wells. For example, a 15%
working interest in a well represents one gross well, but 0.15 net well.

<PAGE>
Drilling Activities
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnerships indirectly
participated in the drilling of the following wells. The Partnerships do not own
working interests in any of the wells; therefore, they did not incur any costs
associated with the drilling activity:

Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History
The following tables set forth certain historical information concerning
the oil (including condensates) and gas production, net of all royalties,
overriding royalties, and other third party interests, of the Partnerships,
revenues attributable to such production, and certain price and cost
information. As used in the following tables, direct operating expenses include
lease operating expenses and production taxes. In addition, gas production is
converted to oil equivalents at the rate of six Mcf per barrel, representing the
estimated relative energy content of gas and oil, which rate is not necessarily
indicative of the relationship of oil and gas prices. The respective prices of
oil and gas are affected by market and other factors in addition to relative
energy content.

Proved Reserves and Net Present Value
The following table sets forth each Partnership's estimated proved oil and
gas reserves and net present value therefrom as of December 31, 1999. The
schedule of quantities of proved oil and gas reserves was prepared by the
General Partner in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain reserve information was reviewed by
Ryder Scott Company, L.P. ("Ryder Scott"), an independent petroleum engineering
firm. As used throughout this Annual Report, "proved reserves" refers to those
estimated quantities of crude oil, gas, and gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions.
-13-
<PAGE>
Net present value represents estimated future gross cash flow from the
production and sale of proved reserves, net of estimated oil and gas production
costs (including production taxes, ad valorem taxes, and operating expenses) and
estimated future development costs, discounted at 10% per annum. Net present
value attributable to the Partnerships' proved reserves was calculated on the
basis of current costs and prices at December 31, 1999. Such prices were not
escalated except in certain circumstances where escalations were fixed and
readily determinable in accordance with applicable contract provisions. The
relatively high oil prices at December 31, 1999 have caused the estimates of
remaining economically recoverable oil reserves, as well as the value placed on
said reserves, to be significantly higher than in the past several years. Any
decrease in these high oil prices would result in a corresponding reduction in
the estimate of remaining oil reserves. The prices used in calculating the net
present value attributable to the Partnerships' proved reserves do not
necessarily reflect market prices for oil and gas production subsequent to
December 31, 1999. There can be no assurance that the prices used in calculating
the net present value of the Partnerships' proved reserves at December 31, 1999
will actually be realized for such production, and the General Partner believes
that it is unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current high level.
The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring
significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological,
engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given
reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things,
additional development activity, production history, and viability of production
under varying economic conditions; consequently, it is reasonably possible that
material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future.
Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that these reserve
estimates represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of
the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various
reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates
presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

Title to Oil and Gas Properties
Management believes that the Partnerships have satisfactory title to their
oil and gas properties. Record title to all of the Partnerships' properties is
held by either the Partnerships or Geodyne Nominee Corporation, an affiliate of
the General Partner.
Title to the Partnerships' properties is subject to customary royalty,
overriding royalty, carried, working, and other similar interests and
contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for
current taxes not yet due, and to other encumbrances. Management believes that
such burdens do not materially detract from the value of such properties or from
the Partnerships' interest therein or materially interfere with their use in the
operation of the Partnerships' business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the knowledge of the General Partner, neither the General Partner nor
the Partnerships or their properties are subject to any litigation, the results
of which would have a material effect on the Partnerships' or the General
Partner's financial condition or operations.

Units were initially sold for a price of $1,000. The Units are not traded
on any exchange and there is no public trading market for them. The General
Partner is aware of certain transfers of Units between unrelated parties, some
of which are
-18-

facilitated by secondary trading firms and matching services. In addition, as
further described below, the General Partner is aware of certain "4.9% tender
offers" which have been made for the Units. The General Partner believes that
the transfers between unrelated parties have been limited and sporadic in number
and volume. Other than trades facilitated by certain secondary trading firms and
matching services, no organized trading market for Units exists and none is
expected to develop. Due to the nature of these transactions, the General
Partner has no verifiable information regarding prices at which Units have been
transferred. Further, a transferee may not become a substitute Limited Partner
without the consent of the General Partner.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreements, the General Partner
is obligated to annually issue a repurchase offer which is based on the
estimated future net revenues from the Partnerships' reserves and is calculated
pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreements. Such repurchase offer is
recalculated monthly in order to reflect cash distributions to the Limited
Partners and extraordinary events. The following table sets forth the General
Partner's repurchase offer per Unit as of the periods indicated. For purpose of
this Annual Report, a Unit represents an initial subscription of $1,000 to a
Partnership.

The Partnership Agreements also provide for a right of presentment ("Right
of Presentment") whereby the General Partner is required, upon request, to
purchase up to 10% of a Partnership's outstanding Units at a price calculated
pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreements and based on the liquidation
value of the limited partnership interest, with a reduction for 70% of cash
distributions that have been received prior to the transfer of the partnership
interest. The following table sets forth the Right of Presentment price per Unit

In addition to the repurchase offer and Right of Presentment described
above, some of the Partnerships have been subject to "4.9% tender offers" from
several third parties since 1997. The General Partner does not know the terms of
these offers or the prices received by the Limited Partners who accepted these
offers.
Cash Distributions
Cash distributions are primarily dependent upon a Partnership's cash
receipts from the sale of oil and gas production and cash requirements of the
Partnership. Distributable cash is determined by the General Partner at the end
of each calendar quarter and distributed to the Limited Partners within 45 days
after the end of the quarter. Distributions are restricted to cash on hand less
amounts required to be retained out of such cash as determined in the sole
judgment of the General Partner to pay costs, expenses, or other Partnership
obligations whether accrued or anticipated to accrue. In certain instances, the
General Partner may not distribute the full amount of cash receipts which might
otherwise be available for distribution in an effort to equalize or stabilize
the amounts of quarterly distributions. Any available amounts not distributed
are invested and the interest or income thereon is for the accounts of the
Limited Partners.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Use of Forward-Looking Statements and Estimates
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements. The words
"anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project,"
"could," "may," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements reflect management's current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. This Annual Report also includes
certain information which is, or is based upon, estimates and assumptions. Such
estimates and assumptions are management's efforts to accurately reflect the
condition and operation of the Partnerships.
Use of forward-looking statements and estimates and assumptions involve
risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the volatility of
oil and gas prices, the uncertainty of reserve information, the operating risk
associated with oil and gas properties (including the risk of personal injury,
death, property damage, damage to the well or producing reservoir, environmental
contamination, and other operating risks), the prospect of changing tax and
regulatory laws, the availability and capacity of processing and transportation
facilities, the general economic climate, the supply and price of foreign
imports of oil and gas, the level of consumer product demand, and the price and
availability of alternative fuels. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties occur or should estimates or underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual conditions or results may vary materially and adversely from
those stated, anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated.
General Discussion
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction with the
analysis of results of operations provided below. The most important variable
affecting the Partnerships' revenues is the prices received for the sale of oil
and gas. Predicting future prices is not possible. Concerning past trends,
average yearly wellhead gas prices in the United States have been volatile for
many years. Over the past ten years such average prices have generally been in
the $1.40 to $2.40 per Mcf range. Gas prices are currently in the upper end of
this range.
Substantially all of the Partnerships' gas reserves are being sold on the
"spot market." Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive nature of the spot
market. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature
and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines. Spot prices for the Partnerships' gas increased from approximately
$2.03 per Mcf at December 31, 1998 to
-25-
<PAGE>
approximately $2.24 per Mcf at December 31, 1999. Such prices were on an MMBTU
basis and differ from the prices actually received by the Partnerships due to
transportation and marketing costs, BTU adjustments, and regional price and
quality differences.
For the past ten years, average oil prices have generally been in the
$16.00 to $24.00 per barrel range, but have been extremely volatile over the
past two years. Due to global consumption and supply trends as well as a
slowdown in Asian energy demand, oil prices in late 1997 and early 1998 reached
historically low levels, dropping to as low as approximately $9.25 per barrel.
However, production curtailment agreements among major oil producing nations
have caused recent oil prices to climb to over $24.00 per barrel in some
markets. It is not known whether this trend will continue. Prices for the
Partnerships' oil increased from approximately $9.50 per barrel at December 31,
1998 to approximately $22.75 per barrel at December 31, 1999.
Future prices for both oil and gas will likely be different from the
prices in effect on December 31, 1999. Management is unable to predict whether
future oil and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.
As discussed in the "Results of Operations" section below, volumes of oil
and gas sold also significantly affect the Partnerships' revenues. Oil and gas
wells generally produce the most oil or gas in the earlier years of their lives
and, as production continues, the rate of production naturally declines. At some
point, production physically ceases or becomes no longer economic. The
Partnerships are not acquiring additional oil and gas properties, and the
existing properties are not experiencing significant additional production
through drilling or other capital projects. Therefore, volumes of oil and gas
produced naturally decline from year to year. While it is difficult for
management to predict future production from these properties, it is likely that
this general trend of declining production will continue.
Despite this general trend of declining production, several factors can
cause the volumes of oil and gas sold to increase or decrease at an even greater
rate over a given period. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i)
geophysical conditions which cause an acceleration of the decline in production,
(ii) the shutting in of wells (or the opening of previously shut-in wells) due
to low oil and gas prices, mechanical difficulties, loss of a market or
transportation, or performance of workovers, recompletions, or other operations
in the well, (iii) prior period volume adjustments (either positive or negative)
made by purchasers of the production, (iv) ownership adjustments in accordance
with agreements governing the operation or ownership of the well (such as
adjustments that occur at payout), and (v) completion of enhanced recovery
projects which
-26-
<PAGE>
increase production for the well. Many of these factors are very significant as
related to a single well or as related to many wells over a short period of
time. However, due to the large number of wells owned by the Partnerships, these
factors are generally not material as compared to the normal decline in
production experienced on all remaining wells.
Results of Operations
An analysis of the change in net oil and gas operations (oil and gas
sales, less lease operating expenses and production taxes) is presented in the
tables following "Results of Operations" under the heading "Average Sales
Prices, Production Volumes, and Average Production Costs." Following is a
discussion of each Partnership's results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
I-D Partnership
---------------
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1998
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $289,917 (27.3%) in 1999 as compared to
1998. Of this decrease, approximately $35,000 and $287,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold
decreased 2,767 barrels and 142,185 Mcf, respectively, in 1999 as compared to
1998. The decrease in volumes of oil sold was primarily due to production
difficulties on one significant well during 1999. The decrease in volumes of gas
sold was primarily due to (i) production difficulties on one significant well
during 1999, (ii) positive prior period volume adjustments made by the operators
on two significant wells during 1998, and (iii) normal declines in production.
Average oil and gas prices increased to $14.01 per barrel and $2.08 per Mcf,
respectively, in 1999 from $12.55 per barrel and $2.02 per Mcf, respectively, in
1998.
The I-D Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during 1999 and
recognized a $494 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during
1998 resulted in the I-D Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling
$260,624.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $74,929 (32.0%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This
decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in production taxes associated with
the decrease in oil and gas sales, (ii) a decrease in lease operating expenses
-27-
<PAGE>
associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, and (iii) a
negative prior period lease operating expense adjustment made by the operator on
one significant well during 1999. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses decreased to 20.7% in 1999 from 22.1% in 1998.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $12,444 (12.7%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and (ii)
upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas reserves at December
31, 1999. These decreases were partially offset by one significant well being
fully depleted in 1999 due to the lack of remaining economically recoverable
reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense increased to 11.1%
in 1999 from 9.2% in 1998. This percentage increase was primarily due to the
depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense on the well fully depleted in
1999.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant in 1999
as compared to 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 11.7% in 1999 from 8.5% in 1998. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through December 31,
1999 totaling $14,458,175 or 200.96% of the Limited Partners' capital
contributions.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1997
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $483,862 (31.3%) in 1998 as compared to
1997. Of this decrease, approximately $142,000 and $126,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and approximately $72,000
and $144,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the average prices of
oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 7,511 barrels and 53,918
Mcf, respectively, in 1998 as compared to 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil
sold resulted primarily from (i) the sale of several wells during 1997 and 1998
and (ii) normal declines in production. The decrease in volumes of gas sold
resulted primarily from (i) normal declines in production and (ii) positive
prior period volume adjustments made by the purchasers during 1997 on several
wells. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $12.55 per barrel and $2.02 per
Mcf, respectively, in 1998 from $18.96 per barrel and $2.33 per Mcf,
respectively, in 1997.
As discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, the I-D
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties in 1998 and
-28-
<PAGE>
recognized a $260,624 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during
1997 resulted in the I-D Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling $24,113.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $59,869 (20.3%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This
decrease resulted primarily from (i) workover expenses incurred on two
significant wells during 1997 in order to improve the recovery of reserves and
(ii) a decrease in production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas
sales. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 22.1%
in 1998 from 19.1% in 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to the
decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, partially offset by the
1997 workover expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $14,888 (13.2%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This decrease resulted
primarily from the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense increased to 9.2% in 1998 from 7.3% in 1997.
This percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold.
The I-D Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$61,790 in the first quarter of 1997. Of this amount, $12,290 was related to the
decline in oil and gas prices used to determine the recoverability of proved oil
and gas reserves at March 31, 1997 and $49,500 was related to the writing off of
unproved properties. These unproved properties were written off based on the
General Partner's determination that it was unlikely that such properties would
be developed due to low oil and gas prices and provisions in the I-D
Partnership's Partnership Agreement which limit the level of permissible
drilling activity. No similar charges were necessary in 1998.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,650 (1.8%) in 1998 as
compared to 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 8.5% in 1998 from 5.9% in 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to
the decrease in oil and gas sales.
I-E Partnership
---------------
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1998
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $449,705 (9.8%) in 1999 as compared to
1998. Of this decrease, approximately $70,000 and $907,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of
-29-
<PAGE>
oil and gas sold. These decreases were partially offset by increases of
approximately $272,000 and $255,000, respectively, related to increases in the
average prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 5,881
barrels and 475,973 Mcf, respectively, in 1999 as compared to 1998. The decrease
in volumes of gas sold was primarily due to (i) positive prior period volume
adjustments made by the purchasers on several wells during 1998 and (ii) normal
declines in production. Average oil and gas prices increased to $16.63 per
barrel and $2.07 per Mcf, respectively, in 1999 from $11.98 per barrel and $1.90
per Mcf, respectively, in 1998.
The I-E Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during 1999 and
recognized a $1,587 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during
1998 resulted in the I-E Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling
$1,154,155.
As discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, the I-E
Partnership recognized an insurance settlement in the amount of $675,000 during
1999. No similar settlements occurred during 1998.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $352,907 (23.4%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This
decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in lease operating expenses
associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, (ii) a decrease in
production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales, and (iii)
workover expenses incurred on one significant well during 1998 in order to
improve the recovery of reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
expenses decreased to 27.7% in 1999 from 32.7% in 1998. This percentage decrease
was primarily due to the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $104,218 (13.8%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which decrease
was partially offset by several wells being fully depleted in 1999 due to a lack
of remaining economically recoverable reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 15.7% in 1999 from 16.4% in 1998.
The I-E Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$547,048 in the fourth quarter of 1998. This charge was necessary due to the
unamortized costs of one field exceeding the expected future cash flows from
that field. No similar charge was necessary in 1999.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant in 1999
as compared to 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 12.5% in 1999 from
-30-
<PAGE>
11.2% in 1998. This percentage increase was primarily due to the decrease in oil
and gas sales.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through December 31,
1999 totaling $55,413,552 or 132.44% of Limited Partners' capital contributions.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1997
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $1,393,017 (23.2%) in 1998 as compared
to 1997. Of this decrease, approximately $251,000 and $262,000, respectively,
were related to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold and approximately
$441,000 and $439,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 13,302 barrels
and 123,670 Mcf, respectively, in 1998 as compared to 1997. The decrease in
volumes of oil sold resulted primarily from (i) the sale of several wells during
1997 and 1998 and (ii) normal declines in production. Average oil and gas prices
decreased to $11.98 per barrel and $1.90 per Mcf, respectively, in 1998 from
$18.84 per barrel and $2.12 per Mcf, respectively, in 1997.
As discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, the I-E
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties in 1998 and recognized a
$1,154,155 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during 1997
resulted in the I-E Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling $120,840.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $264,306 (14.9%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This
decrease resulted primarily from (i) a decrease in lease operating expenses
associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, (ii) a decrease in
production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales, and (iii)
workover expenses incurred on several wells during 1997 in order to improve the
recovery of reserves. These decreases were partially offset by workover expenses
incurred on one significant well during 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, these expenses increased to 32.7% in 1998 from 29.5% in 1997. This
percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases in the average prices of
oil and gas sold.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
increased $27,597 (3.8%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This increase resulted
primarily from downward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 1998 on several significant wells, which increase was
partially offset by the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense increased to 16.4% in 1998
-31-
<PAGE>
from 12.1% in 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases
in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
The I-E Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$547,048 in the fourth quarter of 1998. This charge was necessary due to the
unamortized costs of one field exceeding the expected future cash flows from
that field. During the first quarter of 1997, a non-cash charge of $291,690 was
also recognized. Of this amount, $59,728 was related to the decline in oil and
gas prices used to determine the recoverability of proved oil and gas reserves
at March 31, 1997 and $231,962 was related to the writing-off of unproved
properties. These unproved properties were written off based on the General
Partner's determination that it was unlikely that such properties would be
developed due to low oil and gas prices and provisions in the I-E Partnership's
Partnership Agreement which limit the level of permissible drilling activity.
General and administrative expenses decreased $9,384 (1.8%) in 1998 as
compared to 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 11.2% in 1998 from 8.8% in 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due
to the decrease in oil and gas sales.
I-F Partnership
---------------
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1998
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $150,641 (10.4%) in 1999 as compared to
1998. Of this decrease, approximately $29,000 and $302,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. These decreases were
partially offset by increases of approximately $127,000 and $53,000,
respectively, related to increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 2,409 barrels and 148,722 Mcf,
respectively, in 1999 as compared to 1998. The decrease in volumes of gas sold
was primarily due to (i) positive prior period volume adjustments made by the
purchasers on several wells during 1998 and (ii) normal declines in production.
Average oil and gas prices increased to $16.68 per barrel and $2.17 per Mcf,
respectively, in 1999 from $12.10 per barrel and $2.03 per Mcf, respectively, in
1998.
The I-F Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties during 1999 and
recognized a $546 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during
1998 resulted in the I-F Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling
$380,920.
-32-
<PAGE>
As discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, the I-F
Partnership recognized an insurance settlement in the amount of $472,500 during
1999. No similar settlements occurred during 1998.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $242,970 (36.4%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This
decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in lease operating expenses
associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, (ii) a decrease in
production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales, and (iii)
workover expenses incurred on several wells during 1998 in order to improve the
recovery of reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
decreased to 32.9% in 1999 from 46.3% in 1998. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold and the
1998 workover expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $32,683 (12.8%) in 1999 as compared to 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which decrease
was partially offset by several wells being fully depleted in 1999 due to a lack
of remaining economically recoverable reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 17.2% in 1999 from 17.7% in 1998.
The I-F Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$382,925 in the fourth quarter of 1998. This charge was necessary due to the
unamortized costs of one field exceeding the expected future cash flows from
that field. No similar charge was necessary in 1999.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant in 1999
as compared to 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
increased to 13.8% in 1999 from 12.3% in 1998. This percentage increase was
primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.
The Limited Partners have received cash distributions through December 31,
1999 totaling $18,381,664 or 128.36% of Limited Partners' capital contributions.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared
to Year Ended December 31, 1997
-------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $579,087 (28.6%) in 1998 as compared to
1997. Of this decrease, approximately $161,000 and $93,000, respectively, were
related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and approximately $204,000
and $122,000, respectively, were related to decreases in the average prices of
-33-
<PAGE>
oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 8,522 barrels and 41,061
Mcf, respectively, in 1998 as compared to 1997. The decrease in volumes of oil
sold resulted primarily from (i) normal declines in production, (ii) the sale of
several wells during 1997 and 1998, and (iii) the shutting-in of one significant
well during 1998 for repairs. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $12.10 per
barrel and $2.03 per Mcf, respectively, in 1998 from $18.85 per barrel and $2.26
per Mcf, respectively, in 1997.
As discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, the I-F
Partnership sold certain oil and gas properties in 1998 and recognized a
$380,920 gain on such sales. Sales of oil and gas properties during 1997
resulted in the I-F Partnership recognizing similar gains totaling $76,108.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $15,784 (2.3%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This
decrease resulted primarily from (i) a decrease in lease operating expenses
associated with the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and (ii) a decrease
in production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales, which
decreases were partially offset by workover expenses incurred on several wells
during 1998 in order to improve the recovery of reserves. As a percentage of oil
and gas sales, these expenses increased to 46.3% in 1998 from 33.8% in 1997.
This percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $3,146 (1.2%) in 1998 as compared to 1997. This decrease resulted
primarily from the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold, which decrease was
partially offset by downward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 1998 on several significant wells. As a percentage of
oil and gas sales, this expense increased to 17.7% in 1998 from 12.8% in 1997.
This percentage increase was primarily due to the decreases in the average
prices of oil and gas sold.
The I-F Partnership recognized a non-cash charge against earnings of
$382,925 in the fourth quarter of 1998. This charge was necessary due to the
unamortized costs of one field exceeding the expected future cash flows from

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are
distributed to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis. See "Item 5. Market
for Units and Related Limited Partner Matters." The net proceeds from production
are not reinvested in productive assets, except to the extent that producing
wells are improved, or where methods are employed to permit more efficient
recovery of reserves, thereby resulting in a positive economic impact. Assuming
1999 production levels for future years, the
-37-
<PAGE>
Partnerships' proved reserve quantities at December 31, 1999 would have the
following remaining lives:
Partnership Gas-Years Oil-Years
----------- --------- ---------
I-D 5.1 13.0
I-E 5.4 12.4
I-F 7.3 12.7
These life of reserves estimates are based on the current estimates of remaining
oil and gas reserves. See "Item 2. Properties" for a discussion of these reserve
estimates. In particular, the relatively high oil prices at December 31, 1999
have caused an increase in the estimates of remaining oil reserves which
therefore have increased the estimated life of said reserves.
The Partnerships' available capital from the Limited Partners'
subscriptions has been spent on oil and gas properties and there should be no
further material capital resource commitments for any of the Partnerships in the
future. Occasional expenditures by the Partnerships for new wells or well
completions or workovers, however, may reduce or eliminate cash available for a
particular quarterly cash distribution. The Partnerships have no debt
commitments. Cash for operational purposes will be provided by current oil and
gas production.
The Partnerships sold certain oil and gas properties during 1999, 1998,
and 1997. The sale of the Partnerships' properties was made by the General
Partner after giving due consideration to both the offer price and the General
Partner's estimate of the property's remaining proved reserves and future
operating costs. Net proceeds from the sale of any such properties were included
in the calculation of the Partnerships' cash distributions for the quarter
immediately following the Partnerships' receipt of the proceeds. The amount of
such proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties during 1999, 1998, and
1997 were as follows:
Partnership 1999 1998 1997
----------- ------ ---------- --------
I-D $ 494 $ 272,824 $ 25,350
I-E 2,695 1,265,357 156,744
I-F 2,732 438,200 97,288
The General Partner believes that the sale of these properties will be
beneficial to the Partnerships in the long-term since the properties sold
generally had a higher ratio of future operating expenses as compared to
reserves than the properties not sold.
-38-
<PAGE>
In August 1999, the I-E and I-F Partnerships received insurance settlement
proceeds in the amounts of $675,000 and $472,500, respectively, for the costs
incurred to drill the State Lease 8191 No. 4 well in St. Bernard Parish,
Louisiana for the purpose of relieving pressure in another well which suffered a
blowout during a workover attempt. This new well was completed as a producing
gas well in 1998. The insurance proceeds amounts were included in the
Partnerships' August 1999 cash distribution.
There can be no assurance as to the amount of the Partnerships' future
cash distributions. The Partnerships' ability to make cash distributions depends
primarily upon the level of available cash flow generated by the Partnerships'
operating activities, which will be affected (either positively or negatively)
by many factors beyond the control of the Partnerships, including the price of
and demand for oil and gas and other market and economic conditions. Even if
prices and costs remain stable, the amount of cash available for distributions
will decline over time (as the volume of production from producing properties
declines) since the Partnerships are not replacing production through
acquisitions of producing properties and drilling. The Partnerships' quantity of
proved reserves has been reduced by the sale of oil and gas properties as
described above; therefore, it is possible that the Partnerships' future cash
distributions will decline as a result of a reduction of the Partnerships'
reserve base.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreements, the Partnerships
would have terminated on December 31, 1999. However, the Partnership Agreements
provide that the General Partner may extend the term of each Partnership for up
to five periods of two years each. The General Partner has extended the terms of
the Partnerships for the first two year extension period to December 31, 2001.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Prices obtained for oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors,
including the extent of domestic and foreign production, foreign imports of oil,
market demand, domestic and foreign economic conditions in general, and
governmental regulations and tax laws. The general level of inflation in the
economy did not have a material effect on the operations of the Partnerships in
1999. Oil and gas prices have fluctuated during recent years and generally have
not followed the same pattern as inflation. See "Item 2. Properties - Oil and
Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History."

Year 2000
The year 2000 issue refers to the inability of computer and other
information technology systems to properly process date and time information,
stemming from the earlier programming practice of using two digits rather than
four to represent the year in a date. To the knowledge of the General Partner,
the Partnerships have not experienced any material effects from the year 2000
issue. Costs incurred by the Partnerships in order to ensure year 2000
compatibility were not material to the Partnerships.

Contract Manager for Ely Energy Company. Ms. Fox is also Secretary of Berry Gas
Company, Circle L Drilling Company, Compression, Inc., Dyco Petroleum
Corporation, Samson Hydrocarbons Company, Snyder Exploration Company, and Samson
Properties Incorporated.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
To the knowledge of the Partnerships and the General Partner, there were
no officers, directors, or ten percent owners who were delinquent filers during
1999 of reports required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The General Partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for actual general
and administrative costs and operating costs incurred and attributable to the
conduct of the business affairs and operations of the Partnerships, computed on
a cost basis, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Such reimbursed costs and expenses allocated to the Partnerships
include office rent, secretarial, employee compensation and benefits, travel and
communication costs, fees for professional services, and other items generally
classified as general or administrative expense. When actual costs incurred
benefit other Partnerships and affiliates, the allocation of costs is based on
the relationship of the Partnerships' reserves to the total reserves owned by
all Partnerships and affiliates. The amount of general and administrative
expense allocated to the General Partner and its affiliates which was charged to
each Partnership for 1999, 1998, and 1997 is set forth in the table below.
Although the actual costs incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates
have fluctuated during the three years presented, the amount charged to the
Partnerships have not fluctuated every year due to expense limitations imposed
by the Partnership Agreements.

Affiliates of the Partnerships serve as operator of some of the
Partnerships' wells. The General Partner contracts with such affiliates for
services as operator of the wells. As operator, such affiliates are compensated
at rates provided in the operating agreements in effect and charged to all
parties to such agreement. Such compensation may occur both prior and subsequent
to the commencement of commercial marketing of production of oil or gas. The
dollar amount of such compensation paid by the Partnerships to the affiliates is
impossible to quantify as of the date of this Annual Report.
Samson maintains necessary inventories of new and used field equipment.
Samson may have provided some of this equipment for wells in which the
Partnerships have an interest. This equipment was provided at prices or rates
equal to or less than those normally charged in the same or comparable
geographic area by unaffiliated persons or companies dealing at arm's length.
The operators of these wells billed the Partnerships for a portion of such costs
based upon the Partnerships' interest in the well.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table provides information as to the beneficial ownership of
the Units as of February 1, 2000 by (i) each beneficial owner of more than five

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner and certain of its affiliates engage in oil and gas
activities independently of the Partnerships which result in conflicts of
interest that cannot be totally eliminated. The allocation of acquisition and
drilling opportunities and the nature of the compensation arrangements between
the Partnerships and the General Partner also create potential conflicts of
interest. An affiliate of the Partnerships owns some of the Partnerships' Units
and therefore has an identity of interest with other Limited Partners with
respect to the operations of the Partnerships.
In order to attempt to assure limited liability for Limited Partners as
well as an orderly conduct of business, management of the Partnerships is
exercised solely by the General Partner. The Partnership Agreements grant the
General Partner broad discretionary authority with respect to the Partnerships'
participation in drilling prospects and expenditure and control of funds,
including borrowings. These provisions are similar to those contained in
prospectuses and partnership agreements for other public oil and gas
partnerships. Broad discretion as to general management of the Partnerships
involves circumstances where the General Partner has conflicts of interest and
where it must allocate costs and expenses, or opportunities, among the
Partnerships and other competing interests.
The General Partner does not devote all of its time, efforts, and
personnel exclusively to the Partnerships. Furthermore, the Partnerships do not
have any employees, but instead rely on the personnel of Samson. The
Partnerships thus compete with Samson (including other oil and gas partnerships)
for the time and resources of such personnel. Samson devotes such time and
personnel to the management of the Partnerships as are indicated by the
circumstances and as are consistent with the General Partner's fiduciary duties.
-47-
<PAGE>
Affiliates of the Partnerships are solely responsible for the negotiation,
administration, and enforcement of oil and gas sales agreements covering the
Partnerships' leasehold interests. Because affiliates of the Partnerships who
provide services to the Partnerships have fiduciary or other duties to other
members of Samson, contract amendments and negotiating positions taken by them
in their effort to enforce contracts with purchasers may not necessarily
represent the positions that the Partnerships would take if they were to
administer their own contracts without involvement with other members of Samson.
On the other hand, management believes that the Partnerships' negotiating
strength and contractual positions have been enhanced by virtue of their
affiliation with Samson.

GEODYNE ENERGY INCOME LIMITED PARTNERSHIP I-D
GEODYNE PRODUCTION PARTNERSHIP I-D
In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
position of the Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnership I-D, an Oklahoma
limited partnership, and Geodyne Production Partnership I-D, an Oklahoma general
partnership, at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnerships' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

GEODYNE ENERGY INCOME PROGRAM I LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Geodyne Energy Income Limited Partnerships (the "Partnerships") were
formed pursuant to a public offering of depositary units ("Units"). Upon
formation, investors became limited partners (the "Limited Partners") and held
Units issued by each Partnership. Geodyne Resources, Inc. is the general partner
of the Partnerships. Each Partnership is a general partner in the related
Geodyne Energy Income Production Partnership (collectively, the "Production
Partnership") in which Geodyne Resources, Inc. serves as the managing partner.
Limited Partner capital contributions were contributed to the related Production
Partnerships for investment in producing oil and gas properties. The
Partnerships were activated on the following dates with the following Limited
Partner capital contributions:
Limited
Partner
Date of Capital
Partnership Activation Contributions
----------- ------------------ --------------
I-D March 4, 1986 7,194,700
I-E September 10, 1986 41,839,400
I-F December 16, 1986 14,320,900
The Partnerships would have terminated on December 31, 1999. However, the
General Partner has extended the terms of the Partnerships for the first two
year extension period to December 31, 2001 pursuant to its right to extend the
term of each Partnership for up to five periods of two years each.
For purposes of these financial statements, the Partnerships and
Production Partnerships are collectively referred to as the "Partnerships" and
the general partner and managing partner are collectively referred to as the
"General Partner."
An affiliate of the General Partner owned the following Units at December
31, 1999:
Number of Percent of
Partnership Units Owned Outstanding Units
----------- ----------- -----------------
I-D 1,077 15.0%
I-E 8,306 19.9%
I-F 3,384 23.6%
F-19
<PAGE>
The Partnerships' sole business is the development and production of oil
and gas. Substantially all of the Partnerships' gas reserves are being sold
regionally on the "spot market." Due to the highly competitive nature of the
spot market, prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and regional
pricing fluctuations. In addition, such spot market sales are generally
short-term in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation
services provided by pipelines. The Partnerships' oil is sold at or near the
Partnerships' wells under short-term purchase contracts at prevailing
arrangements which are customary in the oil industry. The prices received for
the Partnerships' oil and gas are subject to influences such as global
consumption and supply trends.
Allocation of Costs and Revenues
The combination of the allocation provisions in each Partnership's limited
partnership agreement and each Production Partnership's partnership agreement
(collectively, the "Partnership Agreement") results in allocations of costs and
income between the Limited Partners and General Partner as follows:
Before Payout(1) After Payout(1)
------------------ ------------------
General Limited General Limited
Partner Partners Partner Partners
-------- -------- -------- --------
Costs(2)
- ------------------------

ment for organization

perties (3) 10% 90% 15% 85%
F-20
<PAGE>
All other income 10% 90% 15% 85%
- ----------
(1) Payout occurs when total distributions to Limited Partners equal total
original Limited Partner subscriptions.
(2) The allocations in the table result generally from the combined effect of
the allocation provisions in the Partnership Agreements. For example, the
costs incurred in development drilling are allocated 90.9091% to the
limited partnership and 9.0909% to the managing partner. The 90.9091%
portion of these costs allocated to the limited partnership, when passed
through the limited partnership, is further allocated 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the general partner. In this manner the Limited
Partners are allocated 90% of such costs and the General Partner is
allocated 10% of such costs.
(3) Distributions of cash and the above allocation of income and costs of the
General Partner are subject to subordination during the first two
twelve-month "allocation periods". The first twelve-month "allocation
period" commenced on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after
the earlier of (i) the date on which 90% of a limited partnership's
capital contribution to a Production Partnership has been expended or (ii)
two years after activation of a Production Partnership. The second
twelve-month "allocation period" commenced at the end of the first
allocation period. To the extent that the amount of cash distributed in
the allocation periods is insufficient to permit the Limited Partners to
receive a 15% cumulative (but not compounded) twelve-month return on their
capital contributions, up to one-half of the managing partners' share of
distributable cash after each such allocation period, and a corresponding
amount of their allocable share of income and costs, shall thereafter be
allocated to permit the Limited Partners to receive, to the extent
available, the aggregate amount of such deficiency. After the allocation
periods, the managing partner may recoup amounts previously allocated to
the Limited Partners pursuant to this subordination provision to the
extent income is otherwise sufficient to permit Limited Partners to
receive at least a 15% cumulative (but not compounded) twelve-month return
since the commencement of the allocation periods.
The I-D Partnership achieved payout in late 1991 and the I-E and I-F
Partnerships achieved payout during the second quarter of 1995. After payout,
operations were allocated using the after payout percentages set forth in the
table above.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements reflect the combined accounts of each
Partnership after the elimination of all inter-partnership transactions and
balances.
F-21
<PAGE>
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnerships consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are
not insured, which cause the Partnerships to be subject to risk.
Credit Risk
Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and gas
purchasers subject the Partnerships to a concentration of credit risk. Some of
these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 - Major Customers.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Partnerships follow the successful efforts method of accounting for
their oil and gas properties. Under the successful efforts method, the
Partnerships capitalize all property acquisition costs and development costs
incurred in connection with the further development of oil and gas reserves.
Property acquisition costs include costs incurred by the Partnerships or the
General Partner to acquire producing properties, including related title
insurance or examination costs, commissions, engineering, legal and accounting
fees, and similar costs directly related to the acquisitions, plus an allocated
portion of the General Partner's property screening costs. The acquisition cost
to the Partnerships of properties acquired by the General Partner is adjusted to
reflect the net cash results of operations, including interest incurred to
finance the acquisition, for the period of time the properties are held by the
General Partner. Leasehold impairment of unproved properties is recognized based
upon an individual property assessment and exploratory experience. Upon
discovery of commercial reserves, leasehold costs are transferred to producing
properties.
Depletion of the cost of producing oil and gas properties, amortization of
related intangible drilling and development costs, and depreciation of tangible
lease and well equipment are computed on the units-of-production method. The
Partnerships' depletion, depreciation, and amortization includes dismantlement
and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage value. The depreciation,
depletion, and amortization rates per equivalent barrel of oil produced during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were as follows:
F-22
<PAGE>
Partnership 1999 1998 1997
----------- ------ ------ ------
I-D $1.41 $1.12 $1.09
I-E 2.07 1.89 1.68
I-F 2.43 2.15 1.93
When complete units of depreciable property are retired or sold, the asset
cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated with any gain or loss
reflected in income. When less than complete units of depreciable property are
retired or sold, the proceeds are credited to oil and gas properties.
The Partnerships evaluate the recoverability of the carrying costs of
their proved oil and gas properties at the field level. If the unamortized costs
of oil and gas properties within a field exceed the expected undiscounted future
cash flows from such properties, the cost of the properties is written down to
fair value, which is determined by using the discounted future cash flows from
the properties. During 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnerships recorded the
following non-cash charges against earnings (impairment provisions):
Partnership 1999 1998 1997
----------- --------- ------- ---------
I-D $ - $ - $12,290
I-E - 547,048 59,728
I-F - 382,925 20,908
The risk that the Partnerships will be required to record similar impairment
provisions in the future increases as oil and gas prices decrease.
In addition, during 1997 the General Partner determined that the
Partnerships' unproved properties would be uneconomic to develop and, therefore,
of little or no value. This determination was based on an evaluation by the
General Partner that it was unlikely that these unproved properties would be
developed due to low oil and gas prices and provisions in the Partnership
Agreements which limit the level of permissible drilling activity. As a result
of this determination, the Partnerships recorded the following non-cash charges
against earnings at March 31, 1997 in order to reflect the writing-off of the
Partnerships' unproved properties:
Partnership Amount
----------- --------
I-D $ 49,500
I-E 231,962
I-F 93,723
F-23
<PAGE>
Deferred Charge
The Deferred Charge represents costs deferred for lease operating expenses
incurred in connection with the Partnerships' underproduced gas imbalance
positions. The rate used in calculating the deferred charge is the average of
the annual production costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, cumulative
total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Partnerships'
pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by the following
amounts:
1999 1998
------------------- -------------------
Partnership Mcf Amount Mcf Amount
----------- --------- -------- --------- --------
I-D 233,407 $ 85,847 244,675 $ 66,062
I-E 1,067,927 622,281 1,162,007 570,545
I-F 396,006 375,691 433,055 346,704
Accrued Liability
The Accrued Liability represents charges accrued for lease operating
expenses incurred in connection with the Partnerships' overproduced gas
imbalance positions. The rate used in calculating the accrued liability is the
average of the annual production costs per Mcf. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
cumulative total gas sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the
Partnerships' pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by the
following amounts:
1999 1998
------------------- -----------------
Partnership Mcf Amount Mcf Amount
----------- ------- -------- ------- --------
I-D 71,772 $ 26,398 53,542 $ 14,456
I-E 326,006 189,964 308,534 151,490
I-F 128,688 122,086 136,339 109,153
Oil and Gas Sales and Gas Imbalance Payable
The Partnerships' oil and condensate production is sold, title passed, and
revenue recognized at or near the Partnerships' wells under short-term purchase
contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements which are
customary in the oil industry. Sales of gas applicable to the Partnerships'
interest in producing oil and gas leases are recorded as revenue when the gas is
metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales contracts covering the
Partnerships' interest in gas reserves.
F-24
<PAGE>
During such times as a Partnership's sales of gas exceed its pro rata ownership
in a well, such sales are recorded as revenue unless total sales from the well
have exceeded the Partnership's share of estimated total gas reserves underlying
the property, at which time such excess is recorded as a liability. The rates
per Mcf used to calculate this liability are based on the average gas prices
received for the volumes at the time the overproduction occurred. This also
approximates the price for which the Partnerships are currently settling this
liability. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 total sales exceeded the Partnerships'
share of estimated total gas reserves as follows:
1999 1998
----------------- -----------------
Partnership Mcf Amount Mcf Amount
----------- ------- ------- ------- --------
I-D 24,395 $ 36,593 29,014 $ 43,521
I-E 116,426 174,639 77,205 115,808
I-F 45,934 68,901 25,825 38,738
These amounts were recorded as gas imbalance payables in accordance with the
sales method. These gas imbalance payables will be settled by either gas
production by the underproduced party in excess of current estimates of total
gas reserves for the well or by a negotiated or contractual payment to the
underproduced party.
General and Administrative Overhead
The General Partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for actual general
and administrative costs incurred and attributable to the conduct of the
business affairs and operations of the Partnerships.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Further, the
deferred charge, the gas imbalance payable, and the accrued liability all
involve estimates which could materially differ from the actual amounts
ultimately realized or incurred in the near term. Oil and gas reserves (see Note
4) also involve significant estimates which could materially differ from the
actual amounts ultimately realized.
F-25
<PAGE>
Income Taxes
Income or loss for income tax purposes is includable in the income tax
returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income
taxes in these financial statements.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Partnerships reimburse the General Partner for the general and
administrative overhead applicable to the Partnerships, based on an allocation
of actual costs incurred by the General Partner. When actual costs incurred
benefit other Partnerships and affiliates, the allocation of costs is based on
the relationship of the Partnerships' reserves to the total reserves owned by
all Partnerships and affiliates. The General Partner believes this allocation
method is reasonable. Although the actual costs incurred by the General Partner
and its affiliates have fluctuated during the three years presented, the amounts
charged to the Partnerships have not fluctuated every year due to expense
limitations imposed by the Partnership Agreements. The following is a summary of
payments made to the General Partner or its affiliates by the Partnerships for
general and administrative overhead costs for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997:
Partnership 1999 1998 1997
----------- -------- -------- --------
I-D $ 79,944 $ 79,944 $ 79,944
I-E 464,880 464,880 464,880
I-F 159,120 159,120 159,120
Affiliates of the Partnerships operate certain of the Partnerships'
properties and their policy is to bill the Partnerships for all customary
charges and cost reimbursements associated with these activities, together with
any compressor rentals, consulting, or other services provided. Such charges are
comparable to third party charges in the area where the wells are located and
are the same as charged to other working interest owners in the wells.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The following table sets forth purchasers who individually accounted for
ten percent or more of each Partnership's combined oil and gas sales for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997:

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant
subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and
economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may change
substantially over time as a result of, among other things,
F-33
<PAGE>
additional development activity, production history, and viability of production
under varying economic conditions; consequently, it is reasonably possible that
material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future.
Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve
estimates reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the
significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available
data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than
other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.
The Partnerships' reserves were determined at December 31, 1999 using oil and
gas prices of approximately $22.75 per barrel and $2.24 per Mcf, respectively.

economic and operating conditions. Proved reserves are limited to those
quantities of Hydrocarbons which can be expected, with little doubt, to be
recoverable commercially at current prices and costs, under existing regulatory
practices and with existing conventional equipment and operating methods.
Depending upon their status of development, such proved reserves shall be
subdivided into the following classifications and have the following
definitions:
(a) "Proved Developed Reserves" shall mean proved reserves which
can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing
equipment and operating methods. This classification shall include:
(1) "Proved Developed Producing Reserves" which are proved
developed reserves which are expected to be produced from existing
wells; and
(2) "Proved Developed Non-Producing Reserves" which are
proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of
existing wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of
such wells, which are expected to be produced through these wells
in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons
available for production should be relatively small compared to

the Limited Partnership as prescribed in this Agreement or by law, or both, the
Limited Partnership shall indemnify the General Partners against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
-25-
<PAGE>
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Limited Partnership as specified in this subsection, except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which the General Partners' course of conduct constituted negligence or
misconduct.
D. To the extent that the General Partners have been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify them against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection therewith.
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.1OB and 4.1OC of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Limited Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification of the General Partners
is proper in the circumstances because they have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement.
F. The Limited Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of
insurance which insures the General Partners for any liability as to which the
General Partners are prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.
Section 4.11. Dealer Manager
-----------------------------
The Dealer Manager shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations
to the Limited Partnership, the General Partners or any Limited Partner as a
consequence of its right to receive Commissions, except to the extent provided
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Dealer Manager has not
assumed, and will not assume, any responsibility with respect to the Limited
Partnership nor will it be permitted by the General Partners to assume any
duties, responsibilities or obligations regarding the management, operations or
any of the business affairs of the Limited Partnership subsequent to the date on
which the Limited Partnership is Activated.

Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Limited Partnership Funds
--------------------------------------------------------
A. The Distributable Cash of the Limited Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously to the Limited Partners (either directly to such Limited Partners
or as they shall direct by their notice to the General Partners pursuant to the
reinvestment option set forth in Section 5.lB of this Agreement) and the General
Partners promptly upon receipt of cash distributions from the Production
Partnership. Each Partner's share of each such distribution shall be determined
after giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this
Agreement, except that (i) any Distributable Cash attributable to the receipt by
the Production Partnership of investment income (as defined in the Production
Partnership Agreement) shall be distributed 100% to the Limited Partners and,
(ii) any Distributable Cash which is attributable to a return pursuant to
Section 3.4 shall be distributed entirely to those Limited Partners (other than
corporate affiliates of Geodyne Resources, Inc. or the Dealer Manager or any
purchasers of Units therefrom with respect to the distribution of cash
contributed by the Managing Partners to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Section 3.4 of the Production Partnership Agreement or to the Limited
Partnership by the General Partners pursuant to Section 3.4) who are, at the
time of the distribution, Limited Partners. All distributions of Distributable
Cash shall reduce dollar-for-dollar the balances of the Partners' Capital
Accounts.
B.
(i) Except in North Carolina and Texas, prior to the first cash
distribution by the Limited Partnership, each Limited Partner will be
given an opportunity to elect to have all or a portion of such Limited
Partner's cash distributions (1) paid directly to the Limited Partner in
cash, or (2) held in a reinvestment account established for Limited
Partners of the Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and
any Subsequent Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and any
Subsequent Limited Partnerships pending the reinvestment of such cash
distributions in a minimum amount of $100
-27-
<PAGE>
(with reinvestment in excess of such minimum being permitted in whole
increments of $100) in any Subsequent Limited Partnership. After receipt
of the Prospectus with respect to any Subsequent Limited Partnership, each
Limited Partner may revoke such Limited Partner's prior election to have
such Limited Partner's cash distributions held in the reinvestment account
invested in the Subsequent Limited Partnership. Such revocation shall be
made by the Limited Partner's delivery to the Limited Partnership of a
written notice of revocation. On or before 30 days prior to the
reinvestment of a Limited Partner's cash distributions in a Subsequent
Limited Partnership, the General Partners shall provide each Limited
Partner who has previously elected to have cash distributions from the
Limited Partnership reinvested in a Subsequent Limited Partnership, and
who has $100 or more held in the reinvestment account on such Limited
Partner's behalf, a form for the Limited Partner to provide the Limited
Partnership such written notice of revocation. The cash distributions of a
Limited Partner held in the reinvestment account shall at all times be the
property of the Limited Partner, and the Limited Partner may withdraw such
cash distributions held in the reinvestment account on such Limited
Partner's behalf upon thirty days' prior written notice to the Limited
Partnership. No interest shall be payable to Limited Partners on the
amount of their cash distributions held in such reinvestment account;
provided, however, that the General Partners shall hold the Limited
Partners harmless against any losses sustained therein and the General
Partners shall deposit into the reinvestment account an amount equal to
any loss suffered by a Limited Partner prior to the earlier of the time
the Limited Partner withdraws the Limited Partner's share or an investment
in a Subsequent Limited Partnership is made on behalf of the Limited
Partner. Prior to investment in a Subsequent Limited Partnership or
distribution of such funds, monies held in the reinvestment account may be
invested in investments permitted under Section 9.3 of this Agreement. Any
costs and interest income attributable to the maintenance of the
reinvestment account shall be charged or paid, as the case may be, 50% to
PW Energy and 50% to Geodyne Properties.
(ii) Cash distributions held in the reinvestment account on behalf
of a Limited Partner will be delivered to such Limited Partner, and no
investment in a Subsequent Limited Partnership will be made on such
Limited Partner's
-28-
<PAGE>
behalf, upon (1) a decision by the General Partners not to offer, or
continue the offering of, a Subsequent Limited Partnership or (2) a
decision by such Limited Partner not to invest in a Subsequent Limited
Partnership. Subject to the Limited Partnership's receipt of a Limited
Partner's written notice of revocation or withdrawal referred to in
Section 5.1B(i), amounts held in the reinvestment account on behalf of a
Limited Partner which are not reinvested in a Subsequent Limited
Partnership (either because such amount is less than $100 or is in excess
of a whole increment of $100) shall remain in such reinvestment account.
(iii) A Limited Partner's cash distribution will be reinvested in a
Subsequent Limited Partnership only if a registration statement covering
interests in the Subsequent Limited Partnership is in effect under the
Securities act of 1933, the offering of interests is qualified for sale
under the applicable state securities laws and the Limited Partner meets
the appropriate suitability standards. The General Partners may terminate
their offering of interests in a Subsequent Limited Partnership at any
time and will have no obligation to continue to offer interests or to
permit reinvestment of Distributable Cash therein. In the event the
General Partners or their Affiliates offer limited partnership interests
in limited partnerships other than the Subsequent Limited Partnerships and
provide Limited Partners the opportunity to reinvest cash distributions
from the Limited Partnership in such limited partnerships, the terms and
conditions of such reinvestment shall be determined by the General
Partners or their Affiliates in their discretion (which may differ from
the terms and conditions of reinvestment in Subsequent Limited
Partnerships provided herein).
Section 5.2. Allocation of Profits and Losses
----------------------------------------------
A. The Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain, loss, cost,
deduction and credit of the Limited Partnership shall be determined and
allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year of the Limited Partnership as of, and
within 75 days after, the end of such Fiscal Year.
-29-
<PAGE>
B. Direct Administrative Costs and General and Administrative Costs shall
be allocated to, and borne by, the Partners as follows: 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners prior to, and 85% to the Limited
Partners and 15% to the General Partners after, Payout (as defined in the
Production Partnership Agreement).
C. Except as set forth in Section 5.2B, Profits and Losses and each item
of Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction and credit of the Limited Partnership
shall be allocated between the Partners and credited to or charged against their
Capital Accounts in the following ratio:
Limited Partners
(including the General
Partners to the extent
they purchase Units) 99%
Geodyne Properties and
PW Energy (in the aggregate) 1%
The General Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest in a manner such that PW Energy shall be allocated a percentage equal
to PW Production's percentage sharing ratio in the Production Partnership
determined under Section 5.3B(i) of the Production Partnership Agreement, and
the remaining amount shall be allocated to Geodyne Properties. The General
Partners may amend this Agreement to provide for any different allocation
between themselves at their discretion.
D. The General Partners may not be required to contribute funds to the
Limited Partnership to pay for Limited Partnership costs allocated to them
except to the extent necessary to pay costs referred to in Section 5.2B.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or
implied in this Agreement, the interest of the General Partners in each material
item of Partnership Income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be equal to at
least one percent of each such item at all times during the existence of the
Partnership. In determining the General Partners' interest in such items for the
purpose of this Section 5.2E, units of limited partnership interest owned by the
General Partners shall not be taken into account.
-30-
<PAGE>
Section 5.3. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions
Among Partners
-------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as set forth in Section 5.lA, all Distributable Cash distributed
to the Limited Partners, as a class, and all Profits and Losses and each item of
Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or credit allocated to the Limited Partners,
as a class, shall be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to each
Limited Partner in the ratio that the Capital Contribution of such Limited
Partner bears to the total Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners.
B. Distributable Cash, Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain,
loss, cost, deduction or credit distributed or allocated to the Partners shall
be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to the Persons who were
Partners, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement, as of the
last day of the fiscal period for which the distribution or allocation is to be
made, except that in any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or
transfers all or any part of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during
the fiscal period is admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash,
Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or
credit attributable to the Interest so sold, assigned or transferred shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the basis of the number
of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on and after the
admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided, however, that
the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing Property by the
Production Partnership shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners
on the day the distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The General
Partners shall inform the Limited Partners of the occurrence and terms of any
such Sale by the Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale
has been consummated.
C. The Limited Partnership's share of the Production Partnership's
adjusted basis in each of its Producing Properties (allocated pursuant to the
Managing Partners' and the Limited Partnership's interests in Production
Partnership capital at the date of acquisition of the respective Producing
Properties) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 613A(c) (7) (D) of the Code
among the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Limited
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property.
-31-
<PAGE>
D. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of Income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that Income from the Producing
Property is allocated.
E. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited or debited with
its Capital Contribution and distributions of Distributable Cash, by the
adjusted basis of partnership property distributed in kind and with its share of
Income, gain, loss, and deductions of the Limited Partnership. Solely for
purposes of making adjustments to Capital Accounts, the Limited Partnership
shall compute a simulated depletion allowance on each oil and gas property using
that method, as between the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to limitations which could apply to less than all the
Partners such as the quantity limitations of Code Section 613A(c)(3)) which
results in the greatest simulated depletion allowance. The Limited Partnership's
simulated depletion allowance shall reduce each Partner's Capital Account in the
same proportion as such Partner's share of the adjusted basis of such property
as determined in Section 5.3C above. In no event shall the Limited Partnership's
aggregate simulated depletion allowances with respect to a property exceed the
Limited Partnership's adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for
Capital Account purposes). Upon the taxable disposition of all oil or gas
property by the Limited Partnership, the Limited Partnership's gain or loss
shall be determined (solely for Capital Account purposes) by subtracting its
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capita1 Account purposes)
from the amount realized from such disposition. Any resultant simulated gain
shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as that portion of the
amount realized from such disposition which exceeds the Limited Partnership's
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capital Account purposes)
is allocated to the Partners and shall increase such Partners' Capital Accounts
accordingly. Any resultant simulated loss shall be allocated to the Partners in
the same proportion as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) were
allocated adjusted basis under Section 5.3C with respect to such property and
shall reduce such Partners' Capital Accounts accordingly.
-32-
<PAGE>
F. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense shall be credited with any portion of that expense which is finally
determined, judicially or administratively, to be nondeductible for Federal
income tax purposes, less any amortization or depreciation thereof incurred
prior to the date that the credit is made.

consolidation or otherwise, acquired substantially all of its assets or capital
stock and continued its business.
Section 6.2. Removal of General Partners
-----------------------------------------
A. Subject to Section 11.3 of this Agreement, upon the Consent of more
than 50% in Interest (as to capital and Profits and Losses) of the Limited
Partners
(i) the power shall be vested in the Limited Partners to (a) remove
any or all General Partners and (b) cause the General Partners, on behalf
of the Limited Partnership, to Remove any Managing Partner.
(ii) (a) The power shall be vested in each General Partner to Remove
the other General Partner, and pursuant to Section l0.1A of this
Agreement admit a successor general partner, for "Cause" as defined
in Section 6.2A(ii)(b), but for no other reason.
-33-
<PAGE>
(b) "Cause" for purposes of Section 6.2A(ii)(a) shall be
deemed to exist only (i) when a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a final determination (which determination is not
successfully appealed) that a General Partner has been guilty of
gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or similar breach of
fiduciary responsibility in carrying out its duties as a General
Partner, or (ii) a General Partner is dissolved or liquidated on
account of insolvency or any other event occurs resulting in the
appointment of a trustee or receiver who acquires control of the
affairs of such General Partner for the purpose of dissolution or
liquidation on account of insolvency, and such trustee or receiver
is not dismissed within 90 days after appointment of such trustee or
receiver, or (iii) (a) a report on the audited financial statements
of a General Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates is
issued by the independent accountants for such General Partner that
is qualified on a going concern basis, or (b) either General Partner
requests an audit to be performed of the other General Partner and
its consolidated corporate affiliates by the independent accountants
for the other General Partner (the expense of such audit being paid
by the General Partner requesting the audit), and such audit results
in the issuance of an opinion with respect to the financial
statements of the other General Partner and its consolidated
corporate affiliates for the period ending, and as of, the most
recent date feasible, that is qualified on a going concern basis.
B. (i) In the event that a General Partner is Removed by the Limited
Partners or the other General Partner, the Removed General Partner's
Interest in the Limited Partnership shall be transferred to the other
General Partner, and the other General Partner shall assign to the Removed
General Partner a portion of Limited Partnership Income, costs and
Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or distributed, as

to its Removal.
-34-
<PAGE>
(ii) If the Limited Partners elect to Remove a sole General Partner
as permitted under this Section, and further elect to continue the
business of the Limited Partnership with one or more successor General
Partners, the removed General Partner shall not be Removed until a
successor General Partner has been selected by the Limited Partners and
admitted to the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 10.2 of this
Agreement.
(iii) In the event the sole General Partner is Removed by the
Limited Partners and a successor General Partner selected, the incoming
General Partner and the Removed General Partner shall, by mutual
agreement, select an independent petroleum consultant to value the Removed
General Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership. In determining the
value of the General Partner's Interest, the independent consultant will
take into account appropriate discount factors in light of the risk of
recovery of oil and gas reserves, and, in any event, will utilize a "risk
factor" discount no less than that utilized in the most recent offer
extended pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Agreement, if any. The incoming
General Partner, or the Limited Partnership, shall have the option to
purchase at least 20% of the interests of the Removed General Partner for
the value determined by the independent appraisal. The Removed General
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership shall be transferred to the
successor General Partner, and the successor General Partner shall assign
to the Removed General Partner a portion of Limited Partnership Income,
costs and Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or
distributed, as the case may be, by the Limited Partnership equal to the
percentage interest of the Removed General Partner in the Limited
Partnership prior to Removal, less the portion purchased by the successor
General Partner or the Limited Partnership.
(iv) If the Limited Partners have Removed a General Partner, the
power shall be vested in the Limited Partners to Consent to the admission
of a successor General Partner meeting the requirements of Section 6.2B(v)
of this Agreement to take the place of a Removed General Partner upon the
consent of more than 50% in Interest (as to capital and Profits and
Losses) of the Limited Partners.

(v) If there is admitted to the Limited Partnership a successor
General Partner, such admission shall not become effective unless the
Limited Partnership shall have received a certificate, duly executed by or
on behalf of such proposed successor General Partner, to the effect that:
(a) it is experienced in performing (or employs sufficient personnel who
are experienced in performing) functions of the type then being performed
by the Removed General Partner and (b) it has a net worth, together with
the net worth of any remaining General Partner, sufficient to satisfy the
net worth requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations, the Internal
Revenue Service or the courts applicable to a general partner in a limited
partnership in order to ensure that the Limited Partnership will not fail
to be classified for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership.
(vi) Notwithstanding Section 3.7B, any General Partner who shall be
Removed from the Limited Partnership shall be released by the remaining
General Partner and any successor General Partner from all liability for
Limited Partnership debts and obligations incurred by the Limited
Partnership prior to the time of such Removal.
Section 6.3. Incapacity of a General Partner
---------------------------------------------
A. In the event of the Incapacity of a sole General Partner, the Limited
Partnership shall be dissolved. However, within 90 days thereafter the remaining
Partners may elect to reconstitute the Limited Partnership prior to application
of the liquidation provisions of Section 8.2.
B. Upon the Incapacity of a General Partner, the Person who is its legal
representative shall have all the rights of a General Partner for the purpose of

Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest and to join with

any contracts between the Managing Partners or any Affiliate and the Production
Partnership, and select, or cause the General Partners, on behalf of the Limited

<PAGE>
D. No sale, exchange, transfer or assignment of a Limited Partner's
Interest shall be made if in the opinion of counsel to the Limited Partnership,

Section 7.3. Assignees and Substituted Limited Partners
--------------------------------------------------------
A. The Limited Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any
purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Limited Partner unless the provisions of Section 7.1 shall have been complied

transferee and such Notification (i) contains the acceptance by the purchaser,

shall be recognized as effective on the date such Notification is filed with the
Limited Partnership.

cease to be a Limited Partner, except that, unless and until a Substituted
Limited Partner is admitted in its stead, such assigning Limited Partner shall
retain the statutory rights and obligations of a Limited Partner under the Act.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Limited Partner shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article Seven

absolute discretion.
The admission of such Person as a substituted Partner shall be evidenced
by the execution by a General Partner of a certificate evidencing the admission
of such Person as a Limited Partner and an amendment to this Agreement executed
by a General Partner on its own behalf, as well as on behalf of each other
Limited Partner, pursuant to the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section
12.5 of this Agreement and recorded or filed in the proper records of the State.
E. No Person shall become a Substituted Limited Partner until such Person
shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 10.2; provided, however, that
for the purpose of allocating Profits, Losses, and items of income, gain, loss,
cost, deductions, credits and Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as
having become, and as appearing in the records of the Limited Partnership as, a
Limited Partner on such date as the sale, assignment or transfer to such Person
was recognized by the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.
F. Each Limited Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Limited
Partnership, the General Partners and their Affiliates and every Limited Partner
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

assignees of Interests previously approved by the General Partners for admission
as Substituted Limited Partners and for reflecting accurately the Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners.

Section 1504(a) of the Code.

estimates that such Limited Partner will have during the current year,
"taxable income"
-40-
<PAGE>
as defined in Section 63 of the Code, of $25,000 or more (income of
$20,000 in California), or (y) a net worth, exclusive of home, furnishings
and automobiles of at least $90,000 ($75,000 in California) or (z)
satisfies any more restrictive suitability requirements imposed by
applicable Blue Sky laws; (e) such Limited Partner recognizes that the
Limited Partnership will be newly organized and will have no history of
operations or earnings and is a speculative venture; (f) such Limited
Partner understands that the transferability of such Limited Partner's
Interest(s) in the Limited Partnership is restricted pursuant to the
provisions of the Agreement and that such Limited Partner cannot expect to
be able to liquidate such Limited Partner's investment readily in case of
emergency; and (g) unless otherwise indicated in such Limited Partner's
Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, such Limited Partner is the
sole party in interest in such Limited Partner's Interest and, as such, is
vested with all legal and equitable rights in such Interest.
(iii) In the event that the General Partners believe any of the
representations made by a Limited Partner in Section 7.3H were untrue at
the time of such Limited Partner's acquisition of an Interest or if the
General Partners believe any of the representations made in Section
7.3H(i) and (ii)(a) become untrue at any time during the time that such
Limited Partner is a Limited Partner, the General Partners shall have the
right, exercisable at their sole discretion, within 60 days after the
receipt of knowledge of such untruth or the recognition of such belief, to
buy such Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership at a
purchase price calculated in a manner identical to the manner set forth in
Section 7.5 of this Agreement. In the event that the General Partners
believe the representation contained in Section 7.3H(ii) (g) has become
untrue at any time with respect to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner
shall immediately file with the General Partners (i) a statement signed by
the Limited Partner and the other interested parties setting forth the
nature and the extent of the interest of each, and the nature of the
agreement between them, and (ii) such other information, statements, and
grants of powers of attorney as may be requested by the General Partners.

notice to the Limited Partner of their desire to exercise their rights of
purchase hereunder.
Section 7.4. Incapacity of a Limited Partner
---------------------------------------------
Upon the Incapacity of a Limited Partner or upon the seizure of a Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership, the successor to such Limited
Partner's Interest ("Successor") shall be deemed an assignee of such Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership and neither the Limited Partner
nor the Successor shall have the right to demand immediate valuation and payment
of such Limited Partner's Interest.
Section 7.5. Right of Presentment
----------------------------------
A. Each Limited Partner who has subscribed for Units will have the option
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.5 to require the
General Partners to purchase all of such Limited Partner's Interest in the
Limited Partnership, provided that the option may not be exercised after the
date of any notice that will effect a dissolution and termination of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement. The obligation of each of
PW Energy and Geodyne Properties to purchase Units shall be joint and several
and shall be limited to an aggregate amount during any four consecutive fiscal
quarters equal to 1% of the Limited Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive
of Capital Contributions made by either General Partner or an Affiliate in its
capacity as a Limited Partner). The obligations of the General Partners
hereunder shall be satisfied to the extent an Affiliate of a General Partner or
an partnership sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates acquires
tendered Units. A Limited Partner may exercise the Limited Partner's option only
with respect to all of the Limited Partner's Interest. Any such exercise shall
be effected by a Notification thereof to the General Partners. Prior to the
expiration of twelve months after the date on which 90% of the Limited Partners'
Capital Contributions have been expended by the Production Partnership, such
latter date being the "Valuation Date," such Limited Partner may, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 7.5, sell such Limited Partner's Interest
to the General Partners at a purchase price equal to 75% of the Subscription
amount therefor, less the
-42-
<PAGE>
amount of any distributions of Distributable Cash to such Limited Partner.
Thereafter, each such Limited Partner may, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Section 7.5, tender such Limited Partner's Interest to the General
Partners for purchase at a price determined in accordance with Section 7.5C of
this Agreement.
B. Each Limited Partner tendering an Interest who does not revoke such
Limited Partner's election pursuant to Section 7.5D shall assign such Interest
to the purchaser thereof pursuant to the power of attorney granted the General
Partners in the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney executed by such
Limited Partner. The purchase price for such Interests will be determined, as of
the close of business of the last day of the calendar quarter (the "Effective
Date"), with respect to all Interests tendered to the General Partners during
each such calendar quarter after the Valuation Date.
C. The purchase price to be paid for the Interest of any Limited Partner
who tenders an Interest pursuant to this Section 7.5 after the Valuation Date
will be determined by assuming the sale of all Production Partnership Property
and the subsequent liquidation of the Production Partnership pursuant to Section
8.2 of the Production Partnership Agreement and the liquidation of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. The hypothetical credit
balance in a Limited Partner's Capital Account shall be the purchase price for
such Limited Partner's Interest; provided, however, that such purchase price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to 70% of the distributions of Distributable
Cash received by such Limited Partner on or before the date the Limited Partner
receives a check in payment for the Limited Partner's tendered Interest which is
attributable to sales of Production Partnership Hydrocarbon production
attributable to Proved Reserves since the date as of which the Production
Partnership's Proved Reserves are calculated for purposes of this Section 7.5C.
In order to value the sale proceeds to be received upon such assumed sale, the
General Partners shall employ the petroleum engineering reports and other
petroleum reserve information referred to in Section 9.4C of this Agreement for
the end of the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective Date. First,
future gross revenues expected to be derived from the production and sale of the
Proved Reserves attributable to the Production Partnership Producing Properties
will be estimated using either (i) escalations of future sales prices of
Hydrocarbons supplied by the General Partners (the "Escalated Case") or (ii)
only escalations of such future sales prices of Hydrocarbons
-43-
<PAGE>
permitted by Regulation S-X adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC Case"), as the General Partners may determine in their discretion.
Next, future net revenues will be calculated by deducting anticipated expenses
(including operating expenses and other costs that will be incurred in producing
and marketing such reserves and any gross production, excise, windfall profit or
other taxes, other than Federal income taxes, based on the Hydrocarbon
production of the Production Partnership or sales thereof) (using either (i)
escalations of future costs supplied by the General Partners in the event the
General Partners adopted the Escalated Case with respect to future sales prices
of Hydrocarbons or (ii) constant future costs in the event the General Partners
adopted the SEC Case with respect to future sales prices of Hydrocarbons) from
estimated future gross revenues. Then the present worth of the future net
revenues will be calculated by discounting the estimated future net revenues at
either 10% (in the event the General Partners employed pricing criteria in
accordance with the SEC case) or that rate per annum which is one (1) percentage
point higher than the prime rate of interest of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.
or any successor bank, as such prime rate of interest is announced by said bank
from time to time (in the event the General Partners employed pricing criteria
in accordance with the Escalated Case). If the latter interest rate is used and
exceeds 11% per annum, the General Partners will provide, for comparative
purposes only, the repurchase price if computed based upon a 10% per annum
discount rate. This amount will be reduced by an additional 30% to take into
account the uncertainties attendant to the production and sale of Hydrocarbon
reserves and other unforeseen contingencies. This reduced amount is subject to
upward or downward adjustment by the General Partners, in the event that during
the period between the end of the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective
Date and such Effective Date, there has occurred any material increase or
decrease in the current price of oil or gas or in the estimated amount of
Production Partnership Proved Reserves thereof from the current oil and gas
prices or the estimated Proved Reserves used in the above calculation of the
present worth of the future net revenues. Salvage value of tangible equipment
installed on the Production Partnership Wells and costs of plugging and
abandoning the productive Production Partnership Wells, both discounted at the
applicable aforementioned rate from the expected date of abandonment, will be
estimated, and the Production Partnership's Producing Properties which do not
have Proved Reserves attributable to them but which have not been condemned will
have such reserves valued at their then fair value as determined by an
independent
-44-
<PAGE>
petroleum engineering firm. The Production Partnership's cash on hand, prepaid
expenses, accounts receivable (less a reasonable reserve for doubtful accounts)
and the market value of its other assets as determined by a qualified
independent appraiser will be added to the value of the Production Partnership's
Producing Properties thus determined, to arrive at the Production Partnership's
hypothetical sale proceeds for purposes of this Section 7.5C.
D. Within sixty (60) days after the applicable Effective Date, the General
Partners will deliver to each Limited Partner who has tendered such Limited
Partner's Interest to the General Partners during the calendar quarter ending on
such Effective Date a check in the amount of the purchase price for such
Interest together with a statement evidencing that such price has been
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5C. The statement will
show which portion of the purchase price is represented by the value of the
Proved Reserves and by each of the other classes of Production Partnership
assets and liabilities attributable to the account of the Limited Partnership
and, by virtue of a Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership,
attributable to the account of the Limited Partner. The Limited Partner will
then have thirty (30) days after receipt of payment for such Interest from a
General Partner to revoke, by notice to the General Partners and return of such
check, the sale of such Limited Partner's Interest. If the Limited Partner does
not timely revoke such Limited Partner's intention to sell, the assignment of
such Limited Partner's Interest to the purchaser of such Interest will be
executed on such Limited Partner's behalf by a General Partner as attorney in
fact; provided, however, that the obligation of the General Partners to purchase
the Interests tendered by the Limited Partners shall be limited during any four
consecutive fiscal quarters to an amount not in excess of 1% of the Limited
Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive of Capital Contributions made by the
General Partners or their Affiliates as Limited Partners). Moreover, the General
Partners will not be obligated to buy any Units pursuant to such right if such
purchase, when added to the total of all other Sales or other dispositions of
Interest within the preceding 12 months, would result in the Limited Partnership
being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or would cause the Limited
Partnership to lose its status as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
If less than all of the Interests tendered are purchased, the Interests
purchased will be selected by lot. The Limited Partners whose tendered Interests
were rejected by
-45-
<PAGE>
reason of the foregoing limitations shall not be entitled to priority in the
following quarter. Contemporaneously with the closing of any such sale, which
shall not be earlier than 30 days after tender of the purchase price for an
Interest to a Limited Partner, a General Partner, as attorney in fact for such
Limited Partner, will execute such certificates or other documents and perform
such acts as the General Partners deem necessary to effect the sale and transfer
of the liquidating Limited Partner's Interest to the purchaser and to preserve
the limited liability status of the Limited Partnership under the laws of the
jurisdictions in which it is doing business.

Dissolution, Liquidation and Termination
-----------------------------------------
of the Limited Partnership
---------------------------
Section 8.1. Events Causing Dissolution
----------------------------------------
A. The Limited Partnership shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of
the following events:
(i) the expiration of its term, without any continuation thereof as
set forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement;
(ii) the Incapacity of the sole General Partner. However, within
ninety days thereafter the remaining Partners may elect to reconstitute
the Limited Partnership prior to application of the liquidation provisions
of Section 8.2;
(iii) the Sale or other disposition at one time of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Limited Partnership existing at the
time of such Sale (including the liquidation or redemption other than in
kind of its interest in the Production Partnership);
(iv) the election to dissolve the Limited Partnership (a) by the
General Partners (which election shall be Consented to by more than 50% in
Interest of the Limited Partners), or (b) by the Consent of more than 50%
in Interest of the Limited Partners;
-46-
<PAGE>
(v) ninety days after the Removal of the sole General Partner
(unless a successor is elected pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement);
(vi) the dissolution and liquidation of the Production Partnership
without the continuance of its business by the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 4.2A(ii) of this Agreement; or
(vii) the happening of any other event causing the dissolution of
the Limited Partnership under the laws of the State, except that the
Incapacity of any Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Limited
Partnership and the seizure of the Interest of any Partner shall not
dissolve the Limited Partnership.
B. Dissolution of the Limited Partnership shall be effective on the day on
which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Limited
Partnership shall not terminate until the General Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Limited Partnership with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State and shall have complied with the laws of the
other states in which its does business and the assets of the Limited
Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Limited Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a limited partnership following dissolution of the
Limited Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth herein
or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Limited Partnership, its liabilities shall be
paid in the order provided herein. The General Partners shall either distribute
in kind or sell the Limited Partnership's property so that such disposition is
in the best interests of the Limited Partners, and shall execute all amendments
terminating the Limited Partnership. In connection with any such Sale, the
General Partners shall attempt to obtain the best prices for such property.
Pending such Sales, the General Partners shall have the right to
-47-
<PAGE>
continue to operate and otherwise to deal with Limited Partnership property. In
the event the Limited Partnership is dissolved on account of the Incapacity or
Removal of the sole General Partner, the Limited Partnership shall elect, in
accordance with the provisions of Article Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating
Agent") to perform the function of a General Partner in liquidating the assets
of the Limited Partnership and winding up its affairs, and shall pay to such
Liquidating Agent its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Gain or loss realized on the Sale or other disposition of the Limited
Partnership's assets will be credited to (in the case of gain) or charged
against (in the case of loss) each Partner's Capital Account to the extent
allocable to such Partner under Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement. In the
event of a distribution in kind of (a) any property other than an interest in a
Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with the
portion of the Limited Partnership's adjusted basis thereof attributable to the
interest therein distributed to it and (b) any Producing Property or an interest
in any Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall first be
credited or debited with its share of the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation in the fair market value of said Producing Property or interest in
said Producing Property. Each Partner's share of said unrealized appreciation or
depreciation shall be equivalent to its share (allocated pursuant to Sections
5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement) of the gain or loss on an actual Sale of such
Producing Property or interest therein. The Capital Account of each Partner to
whom a Producing Property or an interest in a Producing Property is distributed
shall be debited with the fair market value of the Producing Property
distributed to it. No Partner shall be distributed an interest in any asset if
the distribution would result in a deficit balance or increase the deficit
balance in its Capital Account (after making the adjustments referred to in this
Section 8.2A relating to distribution in kind). Any liquidation of the Limited
Partnership shall take place out of court and without application being made
therefor to the Secretary of State of the State.
B. In settling accounts after dissolution, the assets of the Limited
Partnership shall be paid out in the following order: (i) to third party
creditors, in the order or priority as provided by law; (ii) to the General
Partners and any Liquidating Agent for any expenses of the Limited Partnership
paid by or payable to them to the extent they are entitled to reimbursement
therefor pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) to all
-48-
<PAGE>
of the Limited Partners in the amount equivalent to the amount of their positive
Capital Account balances (as adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2A of this
Agreement) on the date of distribution; (iv) to the General Partners in the
amount equivalent to the amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2A of this Agreement) on the date of
distribution; and (v) the balance shall be paid to the Partners in the manner
provided for by Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement with respect to
Distributable Cash.
C. In the event that following the final distribution under Section 8.2B
the General Partners have a deficit balance in their Capital Account balances,
they shall contribute cash to the Limited Partnership necessary to eliminate
said deficit balance, which amount shall be distributed to the other Partners to
the extent of their remaining positive Capital Account balances.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partners will
contribute to the Partnership the lesser of: (a) the deficit balances in their
capital accounts; or (b) the excess of 1.01 percent of the total Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners over the capital previously contributed by
the General Partners.

-6-
<PAGE>
doubt, to be recoverable commercially at current prices and costs, under
existing regulatory practices and with existing conventional equipment and
operating methods. Depending upon their status of development, such proved

(a) "Proved Developed Reserves" shall mean proved reserves which
can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing

developed reserves which are expected to be produced from existing

proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of
existing wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of
such wells, which are expected to be produced through these wells
in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons
available for production should be relatively small compared to
the cost of a new well.
Additional Hydrocarbons expected to be obtained through the
application of improved recovery techniques are included as "Proved
Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
responses that increased recovery will be achieved.
(b) "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" shall mean all reserves which
are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from
existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Such reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those
drilling units offsetting productive units which are reasonably certain of
production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units are
claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty, based
on accepted geological, geophysical and engineering studies and data, that
there is continuity of production from an existing productive formation.
No estimates for Proved Undeveloped Reserves are attributable to any
acreage for which improved recovery is contemplated, unless the techniques
to be employed have been proved effective by actual tests in the same area
and reservoir.

requirements set by statute, Treasury Regulations, the Internal Revenue

to be classified for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership, rather
than as an association taxable as a corporation, on account of the net
worth of the General Partners;

(vi) prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file on or before the

similar law in any state in which the Limited Partnership then owns
property or transacts business, if such formation, reformation,
qualification or registration is necessary or advisable in its counsel's
opinion to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or to
permit the Limited Partnership lawfully to own property or transact
business;
(ix) from time to time, prepare and file all amendments to this
Agreement and other similar documents that are required by law to be filed
and recorded for any reason, in the office or offices that are required

Partnership is then formed or qualified;
(x) do all other acts and things (including making publications or
periodic filings of this Agreement or amendments hereto or other similar
documents without the necessity of mailing or delivering copies of them to
each Limited Partner) that may now or hereafter be deemed by the General
Partners to be necessary,
(a) for the perfection and continued maintenance of the

State,
(b) to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners
under the laws of the State and other jurisdictions in which the
Limited Partnership is doing business, and

Agreement, certificates or other documents to reflect accurately the
agreement of the Partners, the identity of the Limited Partners and
the General Partners and the amounts of their respective Capital
Contributions;
-21-
<PAGE>
(xi) monitor the activities of the Production Partnership and keep
the Limited Partners informed of them in the manner provided in this
Agreement;
(xii) from time to time submit to any appropriate state securities
administrator all documents, papers, statistics and reports required to be
filed with or submitted to such state securities administrator; and
(xiii) inform each Limited Partner of all administrative and
judicial proceedings for an adjustment at the Limited Partnership or

B. In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to

(other than an action by or in the right of the Limited Partnership) involving
-23-
<PAGE>
an alleged cause of action for damages arising from the performance of their
duties under this Agreement or other activities relative to the management of
the Limited Partnership, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify the General
Partners against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid
in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Limited Partnership, and
provided that their conduct does not constitute negligence or misconduct. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement
shall not of itself create a presumption that the General Partners did not act
in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Limited Partnership.
C. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Limited Partnership, to which the General Partners are a party or

as to which the General Partners' course of conduct constituted negligence or
misconduct.

merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify them against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection therewith.
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.1OB and 4.1OC of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Limited Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification of the General Partners
is proper in the circumstances because they have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement.
-24-
<PAGE>

insurance which insures the General Partners for any liability as to which the

Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Limited Partnership Funds
--------------------------------------------------------
A. The Distributable Cash of the Limited Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously to the Limited Partners (either directly to such Limited Partners
or as they shall direct by their notice to the General Partners pursuant to the
reinvestment option set forth in Section 5.lB of this Agreement) and the General
Partners promptly upon receipt of cash distributions from the Production
Partnership. Each Partner's share of each such distribution shall be determined
after giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this
Agreement, except that (i) any Distributable Cash attributable to the receipt by
the Production Partnership of investment income (as defined in the Production
Partnership Agreement) shall be distributed 100% to the Limited Partners and,
(ii) any Distributable Cash which is attributable to a return pursuant to
Section 3.4 shall be distributed entirely to those Limited Partners (other than
corporate affiliates of Geodyne Resources, Inc. or the Dealer Manager or any
purchasers of Units therefrom with respect to the distribution of cash
contributed by the Managing Partners to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Section 3.4 of the Production Partnership Agreement or to the Limited
Partnership by the General Partners pursuant to Section
-25-
<PAGE>
3.4) who are, at the time of the distribution, Limited Partners. All
distributions of Distributable Cash shall reduce dollar-for-dollar the balances
of the Partners' Capital Accounts.
B.
(i) Except in North Carolina and Texas, prior to the first cash
distribution by the Limited Partnership, each Limited Partner will be
given an opportunity to elect to have all or a portion of such Limited
Partner's cash distributions (1) paid directly to the Limited Partner in
cash, or (2) held in a reinvestment account established for Limited
Partners of the Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and
any Subsequent Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and any
Subsequent Limited Partnerships pending the reinvestment of such cash
distributions in a minimum amount of $100 (with reinvestment in excess of
such minimum being permitted in whole increments of $100) in any
Subsequent Limited Partnership. After receipt of the Prospectus with
respect to any Subsequent Limited Partnership, each Limited Partner may
revoke such Limited Partner's prior election to have such Limited
Partner's cash distributions held in the reinvestment account invested in
the Subsequent Limited Partnership. Such revocation shall be made by the
Limited Partner's delivery to the Limited Partnership of a written notice
of revocation. On or before 30 days prior to the reinvestment of a Limited
Partner's cash distributions in a Subsequent Limited Partnership, the
General Partners shall provide each Limited Partner who has previously
elected to have cash distributions from the Limited Partnership reinvested
in a Subsequent Limited Partnership, and who has $100 or more held in the
reinvestment account on such Limited Partner's behalf, a form for the
Limited Partner to provide the Limited Partnership such written notice of
revocation. The cash distributions of a Limited Partner held in the
reinvestment account shall at all times be the property of the Limited
Partner, and the Limited Partner may withdraw such cash distributions held
in the reinvestment account on such Limited Partner's behalf upon thirty
days' prior written notice to the Limited Partnership. No interest shall
be payable to Limited Partners on the amount of their cash distributions
held in such reinvestment account; provided, however, that the General
Partners shall hold the Limited Partners harmless against any losses
sustained therein and the General Partners shall deposit into the
reinvestment account an amount equal to any loss suffered by a Limited
Partner prior to the earlier of the time the Limited Partner withdraws the
Limited Partner's share or an investment in a
-26-
<PAGE>
Subsequent Limited Partnership is made on behalf of the Limited Partner.
Prior to investment in a Subsequent Limited Partnership or distribution of
such funds, monies held in the reinvestment account may be invested in
investments permitted under Section 9.3 of this Agreement. Any costs and
interest income attributable to the maintenance of the reinvestment
account shall be charged or paid, as the case may be, 50% to PW Energy and
50% to Geodyne Properties.
(ii) Cash distributions held in the reinvestment account on behalf
of a Limited Partner will be delivered to such Limited Partner, and no
investment in a Subsequent Limited Partnership will be made on such
Limited Partner's behalf, upon (1) a decision by the General Partners
not to offer, or continue the offering of, a Subsequent Limited
Partnership or (2) a decision by such Limited Partner not to invest in a
Subsequent Limited Partnership. Subject to the Limited Partnership's
receipt of a Limited Partner's written notice of revocation or
withdrawal referred to in Section 5.1B(i), amounts held in the
reinvestment account on behalf of a Limited Partner which are not
reinvested in a Subsequent Limited Partnership (either because such
amount is less than $100 or is in excess of a whole increment of $100)
shall remain in such reinvestment account.
(iii) A Limited Partner's cash distribution will be reinvested in a
Subsequent Limited Partnership only if a registration statement covering
interests in the Subsequent Limited Partnership is in effect under the
Securities act of 1933, the offering of interests is qualified for sale
under the applicable state securities laws and the Limited Partner meets
the appropriate suitability standards. The General Partners may
terminate their offering of interests in a Subsequent Limited
Partnership at any time and will have no obligation to continue to offer
interests or to permit reinvestment of Distributable Cash therein. In
the event the General Partners or their Affiliates offer limited
partnership interests in limited partnerships other than the Subsequent
Limited Partnerships and provide Limited Partners the opportunity to
reinvest cash distributions from the Limited Partnership in such limited
partnerships, the terms and conditions of such reinvestment shall be
determined by the General Partners or their Affiliates in their
discretion (which may differ from the terms and conditions of
reinvestment in Subsequent Limited Partnerships provided herein).

Partners to the extent
they purchase Units) 99%
Geodyne Properties and
PW Energy (in the aggregate) 1%
The General Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest in a manner such that PW Energy shall be allocated a percentage equal
to PW Production's percentage sharing ratio in the Production Partnership
determined under Section 5.3B(i) of the Production Partnership Agreement, and
the remaining amount shall be allocated to Geodyne Properties. The General
Partners may amend this Agreement to provide for any different allocation
between themselves at their discretion.
D. The General Partners may not be required to contribute funds to the
Limited Partnership to pay for Limited Partnership costs allocated to them
except to the extent necessary to pay costs referred to in Section 5.2B.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or
implied in this Agreement, the interest of the General Partners in each material
item of Partnership Income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be equal to at
least one percent of each such item at all times during the existence of
-28-
<PAGE>
the Partnership. In determining the General Partners' interest in such items for
the purpose of this Section 5.2E, units of limited partnership interest owned by
the General Partners shall not be taken into account.
Section 5.3. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions Among
Partners
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as set forth in Section 5.lA, all Distributable Cash distributed
to the Limited Partners, as a class, and all Profits and Losses and each item of
Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or credit allocated to the Limited Partners,
as a class, shall be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to each
Limited Partner in the ratio that the Capital Contribution of such Limited
Partner bears to the total Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners.
B. Distributable Cash, Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain,
loss, cost, deduction or credit distributed or allocated to the Partners shall
be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to the Persons who were
Partners, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement, as of the
last day of the fiscal period for which the distribution or allocation is to be
made, except that in any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or
transfers all or any part of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during
the fiscal period is admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash,
Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or
credit attributable to the Interest so sold, assigned or transferred shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the basis of the number
of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on and after the
admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided, however, that
the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing Property by the
Production Partnership shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners
on the day the distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The General
Partners shall inform the Limited Partners of the occurrence and terms of any
such Sale by the Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale
has been consummated.
C. The Limited Partnership's share of the Production Partnership's
adjusted basis in each of its Producing Properties (allocated pursuant to the
Managing Partners' and the Limited Partnership's interests in Production
Partnership capital at the date of acquisition of the respective Producing
Properties) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 613A(c) (7) (D) of the Code
among the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the
-29-
<PAGE>
Limited Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property.
D. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of Income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that Income from the Producing
Property is allocated.
E. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited or debited with
its Capital Contribution and distributions of Distributable Cash, by the
adjusted basis of partnership property distributed in kind and with its share of
Income, gain, loss, and deductions of the Limited Partnership. Solely for
purposes of making adjustments to Capital Accounts, the Limited Partnership
shall compute a simulated depletion allowance on each oil and gas property using
that method, as between the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to limitations which could apply to less than all the
Partners such as the quantity limitations of Code Section 613A(c)(3)) which
results in the greatest simulated depletion allowance. The Limited Partnership's
simulated depletion allowance shall reduce each Partner's Capital Account in the
same proportion as such Partner's share of the adjusted basis of such property
as determined in Section 5.3C above. In no event shall the Limited Partnership's
aggregate simulated depletion allowances with respect to a property exceed the
Limited Partnership's adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for
Capital Account purposes). Upon the taxable disposition of all oil or gas
property by the Limited Partnership, the Limited Partnership's gain or loss
shall be determined (solely for Capital Account purposes) by subtracting its
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capita1 Account purposes)
from the amount realized from such disposition. Any resultant simulated gain
shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as that portion of the
amount realized from such disposition which exceeds the Limited Partnership's
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capital Account purposes)
is allocated to the Partners and shall increase such Partners' Capital Accounts
accordingly. Any resultant simulated loss shall be allocated to the Partners in
the same proportion as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) were
allocated adjusted basis under Section 5.3C with respect to such property and
shall reduce such Partners' Capital Accounts accordingly.
-30-
<PAGE>
F. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense shall be credited with any portion of that expense which is finally
determined, judicially or administratively, to be nondeductible for Federal
income tax purposes, less any amortization or depreciation thereof incurred
prior to the date that the credit is made.

Except as provided in Section 6.2B, a General Partner (including by
definition any successor General Partner) shall not have the right to retire,

be substituted in its stead as General Partner any entity that has, by merger,
consolidation or otherwise, acquired substantially all of its assets or capital
stock and continued its business.
Section 6.2. Removal of General Partners
-----------------------------------------
A. Subject to Section 11.3 of this Agreement, upon the Consent of more
than 50% in Interest (as to capital and Profits and Losses) of the Limited
Partners
(i) the power shall be vested in the Limited Partners to (a) remove
any or all General Partners and (b) cause the General Partners, on behalf
of the Limited Partnership, to Remove any Managing Partner.
(ii) (a) The power shall be vested in each General Partner to Remove
the other General Partner, and pursuant to Section l0.1A of this
Agreement admit a successor general partner, for "Cause" as defined
in Section 6.2A(ii)(b), but for no other reason.
(b) "Cause" for purposes of Section 6.2A(ii)(a) shall be
deemed to exist only (i) when a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a final determination (which determination is not
successfully appealed) that a General Partner has been guilty of
gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or similar breach of
fiduciary responsibility in carrying
-31-
<PAGE>
out its duties as a General Partner, or (ii) a General Partner is
dissolved or liquidated on account of insolvency or any other event
occurs resulting in the appointment of a trustee or receiver who
acquires control of the affairs of such General Partner for the
purpose of dissolution or liquidation on account of insolvency, and
such trustee or receiver is not dismissed within 90 days after
appointment of such trustee or receiver, or (iii) (a) a report on
the audited financial statements of a General Partner and its
consolidated corporate affiliates is issued by the independent
accountants for such General Partner that is qualified on a going
concern basis, or (b) either General Partner requests an audit to be
performed of the other General Partner and its consolidated
corporate affiliates by the independent accountants for the other
General Partner (the expense of such audit being paid by the General
Partner requesting the audit), and such audit results in the
issuance of an opinion with respect to the financial statements of
the other General Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates
for the period ending, and as of, the most recent date feasible,
that is qualified on a going concern basis.
B. (i) In the event that a General Partner is Removed by the Limited
Partners or the other General Partner, the Removed General Partner's
Interest in the Limited Partnership shall be transferred to the other
General Partner, and the other General Partner shall assign to the Removed
General Partner a portion of Limited Partnership Income, costs and
Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or distributed, as
the case may be, by the Limited Partnership equal to the percentage
interest of the Removed General Partner in the Limited Partnership prior
to its Removal.
(ii) If the Limited Partners elect to Remove a sole General Partner
as permitted under this Section, and further elect to continue the
business of the Limited Partnership with one or more successor General
Partners, the removed General Partner shall not be Removed until a
successor General Partner has been selected by the Limited Partners and
admitted to the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 10.2 of this
Agreement.
(iii) In the event the sole General Partner is Removed by the
Limited Partners and a successor General Partner selected, the incoming
General Partner and the Removed General Partner shall, by mutual
agreement, select an
-32-
<PAGE>
independent petroleum consultant to value the Removed General Partner's
Interest in the Limited Partnership. In determining the value of the
General Partner's Interest, the independent consultant will take into
account appropriate discount factors in light of the risk of recovery of
oil and gas reserves, and, in any event, will utilize a "risk factor"
discount no less than that utilized in the most recent offer extended
pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Agreement, if any. The incoming General
Partner, or the Limited Partnership, shall have the option to purchase at
least 20% of the interests of the Removed General Partner for the value
determined by the independent appraisal. The Removed General Partner's
Interest in the Limited Partnership shall be transferred to the successor
General Partner, and the successor General Partner shall assign to the
Removed General Partner a portion of Limited Partnership Income, costs and
Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or distributed, as
the case may be, by the Limited Partnership equal to the percentage
interest of the Removed General Partner in the Limited Partnership prior
to Removal, less the portion purchased by the successor General Partner or
the Limited Partnership.
(iv) If the Limited Partners have Removed a General Partner, the
power shall be vested in the Limited Partners to Consent to the admission
of a successor General Partner meeting the requirements of Section 6.2B(v)
of this Agreement to take the place of a Removed General Partner upon the
consent of more than 50% in Interest (as to capital and Profits and
Losses) of the Limited Partners.
(v) If there is admitted to the Limited Partnership a successor
General Partner, such admission shall not become effective unless the
Limited Partnership shall have received a certificate, duly executed by or
on behalf of such proposed successor General Partner, to the effect that:
(a) it is experienced in performing (or employs sufficient personnel who
are experienced in performing) functions of the type then being performed
by the Removed General Partner and (b) it has a net worth, together with
the net worth of any remaining General Partner, sufficient to satisfy the
net worth requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations, the Internal
Revenue Service or the courts applicable to a general partner in a limited
partnership in order to ensure that the Limited Partnership will not fail
to be classified for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership.
-33-
<PAGE>
(vi) Notwithstanding Section 3.7B, any General Partner who shall be
Removed from the Limited Partnership shall be released by the remaining
General Partner and any successor General Partner from all liability for
Limited Partnership debts and obligations incurred by the Limited
Partnership prior to the time of such Removal.
Section 6.3. Incapacity of a General Partner
---------------------------------------------
A. In the event of the Incapacity of a sole General Partner, the Limited
Partnership shall be dissolved. However, within 90 days thereafter the remaining
Partners may elect to reconstitute the Limited Partnership prior to application
of the liquidation provisions of Section 8.2.
B. Upon the Incapacity of a General Partner, the Person who is its legal
representative shall have all the rights of a General Partner for the purpose of
settling or managing its estate and such power as the Incapacitated General
Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest and to join with
such assignee in satisfying conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a
Substituted Partner.
Section 6.4. Termination of Contracts with General Partner or
Managing Partners

any contracts between the Managing Partners or any Affiliate and the Production
Partnership, and select, or cause the General Partners, on behalf of the Limited
Partnership, to select, as the case may be, a replacement Person therefor upon
the Consent of more than 50% in Interest of the Limited Partners.

Section 7.3. Assignees and Substituted Limited Partners
--------------------------------------------------------
A. The Limited Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any
purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Limited Partner unless the provisions of Section 7.1 shall have been complied
with and there shall have been filed with the Limited Partnership a dated
Notification of such sale, assignment or transfer, executed and acknowledged by

Notification if the date of such Notification is within 30 days of the date on
which such Notification is filed with the Limited Partnership, and otherwise
shall be recognized as effective on the date such Notification is filed with the
Limited Partnership.
B. Any Limited Partner which shall assign all of its Interest shall cease

Partner is admitted in its stead, such assigning Limited Partner shall retain
the statutory rights and obligations of a Limited Partner under the Act.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Limited Partner shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article Seven
to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to

of such Person as a Limited Partner and an amendment to this Agreement executed
by a General Partner on its own behalf, as well as on behalf of each other
Limited Partner, pursuant to the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section
12.5 of this Agreement and recorded or filed in the proper records of the State.
-36-
<PAGE>
E. No Person shall become a Substituted Limited Partner until such Person
shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 10.2; provided, however, that
for the purpose of allocating Profits, Losses, and items of income, gain, loss,
cost, deductions, credits and Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as
having become, and as appearing in the records of the Limited Partnership as, a
Limited Partner on such date as the sale, assignment or transfer to such Person
was recognized by the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.
F. Each Limited Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Limited
Partnership, the General Partners and their Affiliates and every Limited Partner
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of or arising from any actual or
alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to state facts
made (or omitted to be made) by such Limited Partner in connection with any
assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of all or any part of an
Interest, or the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner to the Limited
Partnership, against expenses for which the Limited Partnership or such other
Person has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by it in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
G. At the end of each calendar quarter in which (i) a Substituted Limited
Partner has been approved for admission by the General Partners or (ii) there
has been any return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners, the
General Partners shall file an amended certificate of limited partnership with
the appropriate authorities of each state in which the Limited Partnership
transacts business for the purpose of adding as Substituted Limited Partners all
assignees of Interests previously approved by the General Partners for admission
as Substituted Limited Partners and for reflecting accurately the Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners.
H. (i) Each Limited Partner represents and warrants that such person
does not own, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the outstanding
stock of the General Partners or any of their Affiliates as defined in
Section 1504(a) of the Code.
-37-
<PAGE>
(ii) Each Limited Partner further represents and warrants that the
following statements are true: (a) if such Limited Partner is an
individual, such Limited Partner is a U.S. citizen, and is 21 years of age
or older; if such Limited Partner is a partnership or an association, all
of its members are of such citizenship; if such Limited Partner is a

automobiles of at least $25,000 and had during the last tax year, or
estimates that such Limited Partner will have during the current year,
"taxable income" as defined in Section 63 of the Code, of $25,000 or more
(income of $20,000 in California), or (y) a net worth, exclusive of home,
furnishings and automobiles of at least $90,000 ($75,000 in California) or
(z) satisfies any more restrictive suitability requirements imposed by
applicable Blue Sky laws; (e) such Limited Partner recognizes that the
Limited Partnership will be newly organized and will have no history of

provisions of the Agreement and that such Limited Partner cannot expect to
be able to liquidate such Limited Partner's investment readily in case of
emergency; and (g) unless otherwise indicated in such Limited Partner's
Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, such Limited Partner is the
sole party in interest in such Limited Partner's Interest and, as such, is
vested with all legal and equitable rights in such Interest.
(iii) In the event that the General Partners believe any of the
representations made by a Limited Partner in Section 7.3H were untrue at
the time of such Limited Partner's acquisition of an Interest or if the
General Partners believe any of the representations made in Section
7.3H(i) and (ii)(a) become untrue at any time during the time that such
Limited Partner is a Limited Partner, the General Partners shall have the
right, exercisable at their sole discretion, within 60 days after the
receipt of knowledge of such untruth or the recognition of such belief,
-38-
<PAGE>
to buy such Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership at a
purchase price calculated in a manner identical to the manner set forth in
Section 7.5 of this Agreement. In the event that the General Partners
believe the representation contained in Section 7.3H(ii) (g) has become
untrue at any time with respect to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner
shall immediately file with the General Partners (i) a statement signed by
the Limited Partner and the other interested parties setting forth the
nature and the extent of the interest of each, and the nature of the
agreement between them, and (ii) such other information, statements, and
grants of powers of attorney as may be requested by the General Partners.
The effective date of any purchase made pursuant to this Section shall be
the first day of the calendar month during which the General Partners give
notice to the Limited Partner of their desire to exercise their rights of
purchase hereunder.
Section 7.4. Incapacity of a Limited Partner
---------------------------------------------
Upon the Incapacity of a Limited Partner or upon the seizure of a Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership, the successor to such Limited
Partner's Interest ("Successor") shall be deemed an assignee of such Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership and neither the Limited Partner
nor the Successor shall have the right to demand immediate valuation and payment
of such Limited Partner's Interest.
Section 7.5. Right of Presentment
----------------------------------
A. Each Limited Partner who has subscribed for Units will have the option
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.5 to require the
General Partners to purchase all of such Limited Partner's Interest in the
Limited Partnership, provided that the option may not be exercised after the
date of any notice that will effect a dissolution and termination of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement. The obligation of each of
PW Energy and Geodyne Properties to purchase Units shall be joint and several
and shall be limited to an aggregate amount during any four consecutive fiscal
quarters equal to 1% of the Limited Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive
of Capital Contributions made by either General Partner or an Affiliate in its
capacity as a Limited Partner). The obligations of the General Partners
hereunder shall be satisfied to the extent an Affiliate of a General Partner or
an partnership sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates acquires
tendered Units. A Limited Partner may exercise the Limited Partner's option only
with respect to all of the Limited
-39-
<PAGE>
Partner's Interest. Any such exercise shall be effected by a Notification
thereof to the General Partners. Prior to the expiration of twelve months after
the date on which 90% of the Limited Partners' Capital Contributions have been
expended by the Production Partnership, such latter date being the "Valuation
Date," such Limited Partner may, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 7.5, sell such Limited Partner's Interest to the General Partners at a
purchase price equal to 75% of the Subscription amount therefor, less the amount
of any distributions of Distributable Cash to such Limited Partner. Thereafter,
each such Limited Partner may, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 7.5, tender such Limited Partner's Interest to the General Partners for
purchase at a price determined in accordance with Section 7.5C of this
Agreement.
B. Each Limited Partner tendering an Interest who does not revoke such
Limited Partner's election pursuant to Section 7.5D shall assign such Interest
to the purchaser thereof pursuant to the power of attorney granted the General
Partners in the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney executed by such
Limited Partner. The purchase price for such Interests will be determined, as of
the close of business of the last day of the calendar quarter (the "Effective
Date"), with respect to all Interests tendered to the General Partners during
each such calendar quarter after the Valuation Date.
C. The purchase price to be paid for the Interest of any Limited Partner
who tenders an Interest pursuant to this Section 7.5 after the Valuation Date
will be determined by assuming the sale of all Production Partnership Property
and the subsequent liquidation of the Production Partnership pursuant to Section
8.2 of the Production Partnership Agreement and the liquidation of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. The hypothetical credit
balance in a Limited Partner's Capital Account shall be the purchase price for
such Limited Partner's Interest; provided, however, that such purchase price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to 70% of the distributions of Distributable
Cash received by such Limited Partner on or before the date the Limited Partner
receives a check in payment for the Limited Partner's tendered Interest which is
attributable to sales of Production Partnership Hydrocarbon production
attributable to Proved Reserves since the date as of which the Production
Partnership's Proved Reserves are calculated for purposes of this Section 7.5C.
In order to value the sale proceeds to be received upon such assumed sale, the
General Partners shall employ the petroleum engineering reports and other
petroleum reserve information referred to in Section 9.4C of this Agreement for
the end of the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective Date. First,
future gross revenues expected to be derived from the production and sale of the
Proved
-40-
<PAGE>
Reserves attributable to the Production Partnership Producing Properties will be
estimated using either (i) escalations of future sales prices of Hydrocarbons
supplied by the General Partners (the "Escalated Case") or (ii) only escalations
of such future sales prices of Hydrocarbons permitted by Regulation S-X adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC Case"), as the General
Partners may determine in their discretion. Next, future net revenues will be
calculated by deducting anticipated expenses (including operating expenses and
other costs that will be incurred in producing and marketing such reserves and
any gross production, excise, windfall profit or other taxes, other than Federal
income taxes, based on the Hydrocarbon production of the Production Partnership
or sales thereof) (using either (i) escalations of future costs supplied by the
General Partners in the event the General Partners adopted the Escalated Case
with respect to future sales prices of Hydrocarbons or (ii) constant future
costs in the event the General Partners adopted the SEC Case with respect to
future sales prices of Hydrocarbons) from estimated future gross revenues. Then
the present worth of the future net revenues will be calculated by discounting
the estimated future net revenues at either 10% (in the event the General
Partners employed pricing criteria in accordance with the SEC case) or that rate
per annum which is one (1) percentage point higher than the prime rate of
interest of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. or any successor bank, as such prime
rate of interest is announced by said bank from time to time (in the event the
General Partners employed pricing criteria in accordance with the Escalated
Case). If the latter interest rate is used and exceeds 11% per annum, the
General Partners will provide, for comparative purposes only, the repurchase
price if computed based upon a 10% per annum discount rate. This amount will be
reduced by an additional 30% to take into account the uncertainties attendant to
the production and sale of Hydrocarbon reserves and other unforeseen
contingencies. This reduced amount is subject to upward or downward adjustment
by the General Partners, in the event that during the period between the end of
the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective Date and such Effective Date,
there has occurred any material increase or decrease in the current price of oil
or gas or in the estimated amount of Production Partnership Proved Reserves
thereof from the current oil and gas prices or the estimated Proved Reserves
used in the above calculation of the present worth of the future net revenues.
Salvage value of tangible equipment installed on the Production Partnership
Wells and costs of plugging and abandoning the productive Production Partnership
Wells, both discounted at the applicable aforementioned rate from the expected
date of abandonment, will be estimated, and the Production Partnership's
Producing Properties which do not have Proved Reserves attributable to them but
which have not been condemned will have such reserves valued
-41-
<PAGE>
at their then fair value as determined by an independent petroleum engineering
firm. The Production Partnership's cash on hand, prepaid expenses, accounts
receivable (less a reasonable reserve for doubtful accounts) and the market
value of its other assets as determined by a qualified independent appraiser
will be added to the value of the Production Partnership's Producing Properties
thus determined, to arrive at the Production Partnership's hypothetical sale
proceeds for purposes of this Section 7.5C.
D. Within sixty (60) days after the applicable Effective Date, the General
Partners will deliver to each Limited Partner who has tendered such Limited
Partner's Interest to the General Partners during the calendar quarter ending on
such Effective Date a check in the amount of the purchase price for such
Interest together with a statement evidencing that such price has been
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5C. The statement will
show which portion of the purchase price is represented by the value of the
Proved Reserves and by each of the other classes of Production Partnership
assets and liabilities attributable to the account of the Limited Partnership
and, by virtue of a Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership,
attributable to the account of the Limited Partner. The Limited Partner will
then have thirty (30) days after receipt of payment for such Interest from a
General Partner to revoke, by notice to the General Partners and return of such
check, the sale of such Limited Partner's Interest. If the Limited Partner does
not timely revoke such Limited Partner's intention to sell, the assignment of
such Limited Partner's Interest to the purchaser of such Interest will be
executed on such Limited Partner's behalf by a General Partner as attorney in
fact; provided, however, that the obligation of the General Partners to purchase
the Interests tendered by the Limited Partners shall be limited during any four
consecutive fiscal quarters to an amount not in excess of 1% of the Limited
Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive of Capital Contributions made by the
General Partners or their Affiliates as Limited Partners). Moreover, the General
Partners will not be obligated to buy any Units pursuant to such right if such
purchase, when added to the total of all other Sales or other dispositions of
Interest within the preceding 12 months, would result in the Limited Partnership
being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or would cause the Limited
Partnership to lose its status as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.

----------------------------------------
A. The Limited Partnership shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of
the following events:
(i) the expiration of its term, without any continuation thereof as
set forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement;
(ii) the Incapacity of the sole General Partner. However, within

the Limited Partnership prior to application of the liquidation provisions
of Section 8.2;
(iii) the Sale or other disposition at one time of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Limited Partnership existing at the
time of such Sale (including the liquidation or redemption other than in
kind of its interest in the Production Partnership);
(iv) the election to dissolve the Limited Partnership (a) by the
General Partners (which election shall be Consented to by more than 50% in
Interest of the Limited Partners), or (b) by the Consent of more than 50%
in Interest of the Limited Partners;
(v) ninety days after the Removal of the sole General Partner
(unless a successor is elected pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement);
-43-
<PAGE>
(vi) the dissolution and liquidation of the Production Partnership
without the continuance of its business by the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 4.2A(ii) of this Agreement; or
(vii) the happening of any other event causing the dissolution of
the Limited Partnership under the laws of the State, except that the
Incapacity of any Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Limited
Partnership and the seizure of the Interest of any Partner shall not
dissolve the Limited Partnership.
B. Dissolution of the Limited Partnership shall be effective on the day on
which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Limited
Partnership shall not terminate until the General Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Limited Partnership with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State and shall have complied with the laws of the
other states in which its does business and the assets of the Limited
Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Limited Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a limited partnership following dissolution of the
Limited Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth herein
or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Limited Partnership, its liabilities shall be
paid in the order provided herein. The General Partners shall either distribute
in kind or sell the Limited Partnership's property so that such disposition is
in the best interests of the Limited Partners, and shall execute all amendments
terminating the Limited Partnership. In connection with any such Sale, the
General Partners shall attempt to obtain the best prices for such property.
Pending such Sales, the General Partners shall have the right to continue to
operate and otherwise to deal with Limited Partnership property. In the event
the Limited Partnership is dissolved on account of the Incapacity or Removal of
the sole General Partner, the Limited Partnership shall elect, in accordance
with the provisions of Article Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating Agent") to
perform the function of a General Partner in liquidating the assets of the
Limited Partnership and winding up its affairs, and shall pay to
-44-
<PAGE>
such Liquidating Agent its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Gain or loss realized on the Sale or other disposition of the Limited
Partnership's assets will be credited to (in the case of gain) or charged
against (in the case of loss) each Partner's Capital Account to the extent
allocable to such Partner under Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement. In the
event of a distribution in kind of (a) any property other than an interest in a
Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with the
portion of the Limited Partnership's adjusted basis thereof attributable to the
interest therein distributed to it and (b) any Producing Property or an interest
in any Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall first be
credited or debited with its share of the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation in the fair market value of said Producing Property or interest in
said Producing Property. Each Partner's share of said unrealized appreciation or
depreciation shall be equivalent to its share (allocated pursuant to Sections
5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement) of the gain or loss on an actual Sale of such
Producing Property or interest therein. The Capital Account of each Partner to
whom a Producing Property or an interest in a Producing Property is distributed
shall be debited with the fair market value of the Producing Property
distributed to it. No Partner shall be distributed an interest in any asset if
the distribution would result in a deficit balance or increase the deficit
balance in its Capital Account (after making the adjustments referred to in this
Section 8.2A relating to distribution in kind). Any liquidation of the Limited
Partnership shall take place out of court and without application being made
therefor to the Secretary of State of the State.
B. In settling accounts after dissolution, the assets of the Limited
Partnership shall be paid out in the following order: (i) to third party
creditors, in the order or priority as provided by law; (ii) to the General
Partners and any Liquidating Agent for any expenses of the Limited Partnership
paid by or payable to them to the extent they are entitled to reimbursement
therefor pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) to all of the Limited Partners in the
amount equivalent to the amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2A of this Agreement) on the date of
distribution; (iv) to the General Partners in the amount equivalent to the
amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 8.2A of this Agreement) on the date of distribution; and (v) the balance
shall be paid to the Partners in the manner provided for by Sections 5.2 and 5.3
of this Agreement with respect to Distributable Cash.
-45-
<PAGE>
C. In the event that following the final distribution under Section 8.2B
the General Partners have a deficit balance in their Capital Account balances,
they shall contribute cash to the Limited Partnership necessary to eliminate
said deficit balance, which amount shall be distributed to the other Partners to
the extent of their remaining positive Capital Account balances.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partners will
contribute to the Partnership the lesser of: (a) the deficit balances in their
capital accounts; or (b) the excess of 1.01 percent of the total Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners over the capital previously contributed by
the General Partners.

in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons

the cost of a new well.
Additional Hydrocarbons expected to be obtained through the

Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
responses that increased recovery will be achieved.

expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from
existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Such reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those
drilling units offsetting productive units which are reasonably certain of
production when drilled. Proved
-7-
<PAGE>
reserves for other undrilled units are claimed only where it can be
demonstrated with reasonable certainty, based on accepted geological,
geophysical and engineering studies and data, that there is continuity of
production from an existing productive formation. No estimates for Proved
Undeveloped Reserves are attributable to any acreage for which improved
recovery is contemplated, unless the techniques to be employed have been
proved effective by actual tests in the same area and reservoir.

requirements set by statute, Treasury Regulations, the Internal Revenue

to be classified for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership, rather
than as an association taxable as a corporation, on account of the net

similar law in any state in which the Limited Partnership then owns

opinion to protect the limited liability of the Limited Partners or to
permit the Limited Partnership lawfully to own property or transact
business;
(ix) from time to time, prepare and file all amendments to this
Agreement and other similar documents that are required by law to be filed
and recorded for any reason, in the office or offices that are required

Agreement, certificates or other documents to reflect accurately the
agreement of the Partners, the identity of the Limited Partners and
the General Partners and the amounts of their respective Capital
Contributions;
(xi) monitor the activities of the Production Partnership and keep
the Limited Partners informed of them in the manner provided in this
Agreement;
(xii) from time to time submit to any appropriate state securities
administrator all documents, papers, statistics and reports required to be
filed with or submitted to such state securities administrator; and
(xiii) inform each Limited Partner of all administrative and
judicial proceedings for an adjustment at the Limited Partnership or
Production Partnership level for partnership tax items and forward to each
Limited Partner within 30 days of receipt all notices received from the

the reinvestment account referred to in Section 5.1(B)(i).

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

compromise actions at law or in equity at the expense of the Limited Partnership
as may be necessary to enforce or protect the interests of the Limited
Partnership. The General Partners shall satisfy any judgment, decree, decision
or settlement, first, out of any insurance proceeds available therefor, next,
out of the Limited Partnership assets and income, and, finally, out of the
assets of the General Partners.
B. In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to
which the General Partners are a party or are threatened to be made a party by
reason of the fact that they are the General Partners of the Limited Partnership
(other than an action by or in the right of the Limited Partnership) involving
an alleged cause of action for damages arising from the performance of their
duties under this Agreement or other activities relative to the management of
the Limited Partnership, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify the General
Partners against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid
in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Limited Partnership, and
provided that their conduct does not constitute negligence or misconduct. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or settlement
shall not of itself create a presumption that the General Partners did not act
in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Limited Partnership.
C. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Limited Partnership, to which the General Partners are a party or
are threatened to be made a party, involving an alleged cause of action by a
Limited Partner or Limited Partners for damages arising from the activities of
the General Partners in the performance of management of the internal affairs of
the Limited Partnership as prescribed in this Agreement or by law, or both, the
Limited Partnership shall indemnify the General Partners against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
-24-
<PAGE>
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in
the best interests of the Limited Partnership as specified in this subsection,
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which the General Partners' course of conduct constituted
negligence or misconduct.
D. To the extent that the General Partners have been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Limited Partnership shall indemnify them against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection therewith.
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.1OB and 4.1OC of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Limited Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification of the General Partners
is proper in the circumstances because they have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.1OB or 4.1OC of this Agreement.
F. The Limited Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of
insurance which insures the General Partners for any liability as to which the
General Partners are prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.
Section 4.11. Dealer Manager
-----------------------------
The Dealer Manager shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations
to the Limited Partnership, the General Partners or any Limited Partner as a
consequence of its right to receive Commissions, except to the extent provided

assumed, and will not assume, any responsibility with respect to the Limited

Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Limited Partnership Funds
--------------------------------------------------------
A. The Distributable Cash of the Limited Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously to the Limited Partners (either directly to such Limited Partners
or as they shall direct by their notice to the General Partners pursuant to the
reinvestment option set forth in Section 5.lB of this Agreement) and the General
Partners promptly upon receipt of cash distributions from the Production
Partnership. Each Partner's share of each such distribution shall be determined
after giving effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this
Agreement, except that (i) any Distributable Cash attributable to the receipt by
the Production Partnership of investment income (as defined in the Production
Partnership Agreement) shall be distributed 100% to the Limited Partners and,
(ii) any Distributable Cash which is attributable to a return pursuant to
Section 3.4 shall be distributed entirely to those Limited Partners (other than
corporate affiliates of Geodyne Resources, Inc. or the Dealer Manager or any
purchasers of Units therefrom with respect to the distribution of cash
contributed by the Managing Partners to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Section 3.4 of the Production Partnership Agreement or to the Limited
Partnership by the General Partners pursuant to Section 3.4) who are, at the
time of the distribution, Limited Partners. All distributions of Distributable
Cash shall reduce dollar-for-dollar the balances of the Partners' Capital
Accounts.
B.
(i) Except in North Carolina and Texas, prior to the first cash
distribution by the Limited Partnership, each Limited Partner will be
given an opportunity to elect to have all or a portion of such Limited
Partner's cash distributions (1) paid directly to the Limited Partner in
cash, or (2) held in a reinvestment account established for Limited
Partners of the Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and
any Subsequent Limited Partnership, any Prior Limited Partnerships and any
Subsequent Limited Partnerships pending the reinvestment of such cash
distributions in a minimum amount of $100 (with reinvestment in excess of
such minimum being permitted in whole increments of $100) in any
Subsequent Limited Partnership. After receipt of the Prospectus with
respect to any Subsequent Limited Partnership, each Limited Partner
-26-
<PAGE>
may revoke such Limited Partner's prior election to have such Limited
Partner's cash distributions held in the reinvestment account invested in
the Subsequent Limited Partnership. Such revocation shall be made by the
Limited Partner's delivery to the Limited Partnership of a written notice
of revocation. On or before 30 days prior to the reinvestment of a Limited
Partner's cash distributions in a Subsequent Limited Partnership, the
General Partners shall provide each Limited Partner who has previously
elected to have cash distributions from the Limited Partnership reinvested
in a Subsequent Limited Partnership, and who has $100 or more held in the
reinvestment account on such Limited Partner's behalf, a form for the
Limited Partner to provide the Limited Partnership such written notice of
revocation. The cash distributions of a Limited Partner held in the
reinvestment account shall at all times be the property of the Limited
Partner, and the Limited Partner may withdraw such cash distributions held
in the reinvestment account on such Limited Partner's behalf upon thirty
days' prior written notice to the Limited Partnership. No interest shall
be payable to Limited Partners on the amount of their cash distributions
held in such reinvestment account; provided, however, that the General
Partners shall hold the Limited Partners harmless against any losses
sustained therein and the General Partners shall deposit into the
reinvestment account an amount equal to any loss suffered by a Limited
Partner prior to the earlier of the time the Limited Partner withdraws the
Limited Partner's share or an investment in a Subsequent Limited
Partnership is made on behalf of the Limited Partner. Prior to investment
in a Subsequent Limited Partnership or distribution of such funds, monies
held in the reinvestment account may be invested in investments permitted
under Section 9.3 of this Agreement. Any costs and interest income
attributable to the maintenance of the reinvestment account shall be
charged or paid, as the case may be, 50% to PW Energy and 50% to Geodyne
Properties.
(ii) Cash distributions held in the reinvestment account on behalf
of a Limited Partner will be delivered to such Limited Partner, and no
investment in a Subsequent Limited Partnership will be made on such
Limited Partner's behalf, upon (1) a decision by the General Partners not
to offer, or continue the offering of, a Subsequent Limited Partnership or
(2) a decision by such Limited Partner not to invest in a Subsequent
Limited Partnership. Subject to the Limited Partnership's receipt of a
Limited Partner's written notice of revocation or withdrawal referred to
in Section 5.1B(i), amounts held in the reinvestment account
-27-
<PAGE>
on behalf of a Limited Partner which are not reinvested in a Subsequent
Limited Partnership (either because such amount is less than $100 or is in
excess of a whole increment of $100) shall remain in such reinvestment
account.
(iii) A Limited Partner's cash distribution will be reinvested in a
Subsequent Limited Partnership only if a registration statement covering
interests in the Subsequent Limited Partnership is in effect under the
Securities act of 1933, the offering of interests is qualified for sale
under the applicable state securities laws and the Limited Partner meets
the appropriate suitability standards. The General Partners may terminate
their offering of interests in a Subsequent Limited Partnership at any
time and will have no obligation to continue to offer interests or to
permit reinvestment of Distributable Cash therein. In the event the
General Partners or their Affiliates offer limited partnership interests
in limited partnerships other than the Subsequent Limited Partnerships and
provide Limited Partners the opportunity to reinvest cash distributions
from the Limited Partnership in such limited partnerships, the terms and
conditions of such reinvestment shall be determined by the General
Partners or their Affiliates in their discretion (which may differ from
the terms and conditions of reinvestment in Subsequent Limited
Partnerships provided herein).
Section 5.2. Allocation of Profits and Losses
----------------------------------------------
A. The Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain, loss, cost,
deduction and credit of the Limited Partnership shall be determined and
allocated with respect to each Fiscal Year of the Limited Partnership as of, and
within 75 days after, the end of such Fiscal Year.
B. Direct Administrative Costs and General and Administrative Costs shall
be allocated to, and borne by, the Partners as follows: 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners prior to, and 85% to the Limited
Partners and 15% to the General Partners after, Payout (as defined in the
Production Partnership Agreement).
C. Except as set forth in Section 5.2B, Profits and Losses and each item
of Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction and credit of the Limited Partnership
shall be allocated between the Partners and credited to or charged against their
Capital Accounts in the following ratio:
-28-
<PAGE>
Limited Partners
(including the General
Partners to the extent
they purchase Units) 99%
Geodyne Properties and
PW Energy (in the aggregate) 1%
The General Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest in a manner such that PW Energy shall be allocated a percentage equal
to PW Production's percentage sharing ratio in the Production Partnership
determined under Section 5.3B(i) of the Production Partnership Agreement, and
the remaining amount shall be allocated to Geodyne Properties. The General
Partners may amend this Agreement to provide for any different allocation
between themselves at their discretion.
D. The General Partners may not be required to contribute funds to the
Limited Partnership to pay for Limited Partnership costs allocated to them
except to the extent necessary to pay costs referred to in Section 5.2B.
E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or
implied in this Agreement, the interest of the General Partners in each material
item of Partnership Income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be equal to at
least one percent of each such item at all times during the existence of the
Partnership. In determining the General Partners' interest in such items for the
purpose of this Section 5.2E, units of limited partnership interest owned by the
General Partners shall not be taken into account.
Section 5.3. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions Among
Partners
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as set forth in Section 5.lA, all Distributable Cash distributed
to the Limited Partners, as a class, and all Profits and Losses and each item of
Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or credit allocated to the Limited Partners,
as a class, shall be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to each
Limited Partner in the ratio that the Capital Contribution of such Limited
Partner bears to the total Capital Contributions of all Limited Partners.
-29-
<PAGE>
B. Distributable Cash, Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain,
loss, cost, deduction or credit distributed or allocated to the Partners shall
be distributed or allocated, as the case may be, to the Persons who were
Partners, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement, as of the
last day of the fiscal period for which the distribution or allocation is to be
made, except that in any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or
transfers all or any part of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during
the fiscal period is admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash,
Profits and Losses and each item of Income, gain, loss, cost, deduction or
credit attributable to the Interest so sold, assigned or transferred shall be
allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the basis of the number
of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on and after the
admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided, however, that
the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing Property by the
Production Partnership shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners
on the day the distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The General
Partners shall inform the Limited Partners of the occurrence and terms of any
such Sale by the Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale
has been consummated.
C. The Limited Partnership's share of the Production Partnership's
adjusted basis in each of its Producing Properties (allocated pursuant to the
Managing Partners' and the Limited Partnership's interests in Production
Partnership capital at the date of acquisition of the respective Producing
Properties) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 613A(c) (7) (D) of the Code
among the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Limited
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property.
D. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of Income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that Income from the Producing
Property is allocated.
-30-
<PAGE>
E. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited or debited with
its Capital Contribution and distributions of Distributable Cash, by the
adjusted basis of partnership property distributed in kind and with its share of
Income, gain, loss, and deductions of the Limited Partnership. Solely for
purposes of making adjustments to Capital Accounts, the Limited Partnership
shall compute a simulated depletion allowance on each oil and gas property using
that method, as between the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to limitations which could apply to less than all the
Partners such as the quantity limitations of Code Section 613A(c)(3)) which
results in the greatest simulated depletion allowance. The Limited Partnership's
simulated depletion allowance shall reduce each Partner's Capital Account in the
same proportion as such Partner's share of the adjusted basis of such property
as determined in Section 5.3C above. In no event shall the Limited Partnership's
aggregate simulated depletion allowances with respect to a property exceed the
Limited Partnership's adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for
Capital Account purposes). Upon the taxable disposition of all oil or gas
property by the Limited Partnership, the Limited Partnership's gain or loss
shall be determined (solely for Capital Account purposes) by subtracting its
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capita1 Account purposes)
from the amount realized from such disposition. Any resultant simulated gain
shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as that portion of the
amount realized from such disposition which exceeds the Limited Partnership's
adjusted basis in such property (maintained solely for Capital Account purposes)
is allocated to the Partners and shall increase such Partners' Capital Accounts
accordingly. Any resultant simulated loss shall be allocated to the Partners in
the same proportion as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) were
allocated adjusted basis under Section 5.3C with respect to such property and
shall reduce such Partners' Capital Accounts accordingly.
F. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense shall be credited with any portion of that expense which is finally
determined, judicially or administratively, to be nondeductible for Federal
income tax purposes, less any amortization or depreciation thereof incurred
prior to the date that the credit is made.

Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or distributed, as
the case may be, by the Limited Partnership equal to the percentage
interest of the Removed General Partner in the Limited Partnership prior
to its Removal.
(ii) If the Limited Partners elect to Remove a sole General Partner
as permitted under this Section, and further elect to continue the
business of the Limited Partnership with one or more successor General
Partners, the removed General Partner shall not be Removed until a
successor General Partner has been selected by the Limited Partners and
admitted to the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 10.2 of this
Agreement.
(iii) In the event the sole General Partner is Removed by the
Limited Partners and a successor General Partner selected, the incoming
General Partner and the Removed General Partner shall, by mutual
agreement, select an independent petroleum consultant to value the Removed
General Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership. In determining the
value of the General Partner's Interest, the independent consultant will
take into account appropriate discount factors in light of the risk of
recovery of oil and gas reserves, and, in any event, will utilize a "risk
-33-
<PAGE>
factor" discount no less than that utilized in the most recent offer
extended pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Agreement, if any. The incoming
General Partner, or the Limited Partnership, shall have the option to
purchase at least 20% of the interests of the Removed General Partner for
the value determined by the independent appraisal. The Removed General
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership shall be transferred to the
successor General Partner, and the successor General Partner shall assign
to the Removed General Partner a portion of Limited Partnership Income,
costs and Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or
distributed, as the case may be, by the Limited Partnership equal to the
percentage interest of the Removed General Partner in the Limited
Partnership prior to Removal, less the portion purchased by the successor
General Partner or the Limited Partnership.
(iv) If the Limited Partners have Removed a General Partner, the
power shall be vested in the Limited Partners to Consent to the admission
of a successor General Partner meeting the requirements of Section 6.2B(v)
of this Agreement to take the place of a Removed General Partner upon the
consent of more than 50% in Interest (as to capital and Profits and
Losses) of the Limited Partners.
(v) If there is admitted to the Limited Partnership a successor
General Partner, such admission shall not become effective unless the
Limited Partnership shall have received a certificate, duly executed by or
on behalf of such proposed successor General Partner, to the effect that:
(a) it is experienced in performing (or employs sufficient personnel who
are experienced in performing) functions of the type then being performed
by the Removed General Partner and (b) it has a net worth, together with
the net worth of any remaining General Partner, sufficient to satisfy the
net worth requirements of the Code, Treasury Regulations, the Internal
Revenue Service or the courts applicable to a general partner in a limited
partnership in order to ensure that the Limited Partnership will not fail
to be classified for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership.
(vi) Notwithstanding Section 3.7B, any General Partner who shall be
Removed from the Limited Partnership shall be released by the remaining
General Partner and any successor General Partner from all liability for
Limited Partnership debts and obligations incurred by the Limited
Partnership prior to the time of such Removal.

any contracts between the Managing Partners or any Affiliate and the Production
Partnership, and select, or cause the General Partners, on behalf of the Limited

or (ii) violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities
or "blue sky" laws (including any investor suitability standard applicable to
the Limited Partnership or the Interest to be sold, exchanged, transferred or

settling or managing its estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited
Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest and to join with

Section 7.3. Assignees and Substituted Limited Partners

Partnership, and otherwise shall be recognized as effective on the date such
Notification is filed with the Limited Partnership.
B. Any Limited Partner which shall assign all of its Interest shall cease

Partner is admitted in its stead, such assigning Limited Partner shall retain
the statutory rights and obligations of a Limited Partner under the Act.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
a Limited Partner shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article Seven
to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to

D. Any purchaser, assignee, transferee, donee, heir, legatee or other
recipient of an Interest shall be admitted to the Limited Partnership as a
Substituted Limited Partner only with the Consent of the General Partners, which
Consent may be granted or withheld by the General Partners at their sole and
absolute discretion.
The admission of such Person as a substituted Partner shall be evidenced

for the purpose of allocating Profits, Losses, and items of income, gain, loss,
cost, deductions, credits and Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as
having become, and as appearing in the records of the Limited Partnership as, a
Limited Partner on such date as the sale, assignment or transfer to such Person
was recognized by the Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.
-37-
<PAGE>
F. Each Limited Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Limited
Partnership, the General Partners and their Affiliates and every Limited Partner
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of or arising from any actual or
alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to state facts
made (or omitted to be made) by such Limited Partner in connection with any
assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of all or any part of an
Interest, or the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner to the Limited
Partnership, against expenses for which the Limited Partnership or such other
Person has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by it in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
G. At the end of each calendar quarter in which (i) a Substituted Limited
Partner has been approved for admission by the General Partners or (ii) there
has been any return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners, the
General Partners shall file an amended certificate of limited partnership with
the appropriate authorities of each state in which the Limited Partnership
transacts business for the purpose of adding as Substituted Limited Partners all
assignees of Interests previously approved by the General Partners for admission
as Substituted Limited Partners and for reflecting accurately the Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners.
H. (i) Each Limited Partner represents and warrants that such person
does not own, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the outstanding
stock of the General Partners or any of their Affiliates as defined in
Section 1504(a) of the Code.
(ii) Each Limited Partner further represents and warrants that the

or older; if such Limited Partner is a partnership or an association, all
of its members are of such citizenship; if such Limited Partner is a

exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles of at least $25,000 and had
during the last tax year, or estimates that such Limited Partner will have
during the current year, "taxable income" as defined in Section 63 of the
Code, of $25,000 or more (income of $20,000 in California), or (y) a net
worth, exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles of at least $90,000
($75,000 in California) or (z) satisfies any more restrictive suitability
requirements imposed by applicable Blue Sky laws; (e) such Limited Partner
recognizes that the Limited Partnership will be newly organized and will

Limited Partner's Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney, such
Limited Partner is the sole party in interest in such Limited Partner's
Interest and, as such, is vested with all legal and equitable rights in

(iii) In the event that the General Partners believe any of the
representations made by a Limited Partner in Section 7.3H were untrue at
the time of such Limited Partner's acquisition of an Interest or if the
General Partners believe any of the representations made in Section
7.3H(i) and (ii)(a) become untrue at any time during the time that such
Limited Partner is a Limited Partner, the General Partners shall have the
right, exercisable at their sole discretion, within 60 days after the
receipt of knowledge of such untruth or the recognition of such belief, to
buy such Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership at a
purchase price calculated in a manner identical to the manner set forth in
Section 7.5 of this Agreement. In the event that the General Partners
believe the representation contained in Section 7.3H(ii) (g) has become
untrue at any time with respect to a Limited Partner, such Limited Partner
shall immediately file with the General Partners (i) a statement signed by
the Limited Partner and the other interested parties setting forth the
nature and the extent of the interest of each, and the nature of the
agreement between them, and (ii) such other information, statements, and
grants of powers of attorney as may be requested by the General Partners.
-39-
<PAGE>
The effective date of any purchase made pursuant to this Section shall be
the first day of the calendar month during which the General Partners give
notice to the Limited Partner of their desire to exercise their rights of
purchase hereunder.
Section 7.4. Incapacity of a Limited Partner
---------------------------------------------
Upon the Incapacity of a Limited Partner or upon the seizure of a Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership, the successor to such Limited
Partner's Interest ("Successor") shall be deemed an assignee of such Limited
Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership and neither the Limited Partner
nor the Successor shall have the right to demand immediate valuation and payment
of such Limited Partner's Interest.
Section 7.5. Right of Presentment
----------------------------------
A. Each Limited Partner who has subscribed for Units will have the option
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.5 to require the
General Partners to purchase all of such Limited Partner's Interest in the
Limited Partnership, provided that the option may not be exercised after the
date of any notice that will effect a dissolution and termination of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement. The obligation of each of
PW Energy and Geodyne Properties to purchase Units shall be joint and several
and shall be limited to an aggregate amount during any four consecutive fiscal
quarters equal to 1% of the Limited Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive
of Capital Contributions made by either General Partner or an Affiliate in its
capacity as a Limited Partner). The obligations of the General Partners
hereunder shall be satisfied to the extent an Affiliate of a General Partner or
an partnership sponsored by the General Partners or their Affiliates acquires
tendered Units. A Limited Partner may exercise the Limited Partner's option only
with respect to all of the Limited Partner's Interest. Any such exercise shall
be effected by a Notification thereof to the General Partners. Prior to the
expiration of twelve months after the date on which 90% of the Limited Partners'
Capital Contributions have been expended by the Production Partnership, such
latter date being the "Valuation Date," such Limited Partner may, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 7.5, sell such Limited Partner's Interest
to the General Partners at a purchase price equal to 75% of the Subscription
amount therefor, less the amount of any distributions of Distributable Cash to
such Limited Partner. Thereafter, each such Limited Partner may, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 7.5, tender such Limited Partner's Interest
to the General Partners for purchase at a price determined in accordance with
Section 7.5C of this Agreement.
-40-
<PAGE>
B. Each Limited Partner tendering an Interest who does not revoke such
Limited Partner's election pursuant to Section 7.5D shall assign such Interest
to the purchaser thereof pursuant to the power of attorney granted the General
Partners in the Subscription Agreement and Power of Attorney executed by such
Limited Partner. The purchase price for such Interests will be determined, as of
the close of business of the last day of the calendar quarter (the "Effective
Date"), with respect to all Interests tendered to the General Partners during
each such calendar quarter after the Valuation Date.
C. The purchase price to be paid for the Interest of any Limited Partner
who tenders an Interest pursuant to this Section 7.5 after the Valuation Date
will be determined by assuming the sale of all Production Partnership Property
and the subsequent liquidation of the Production Partnership pursuant to Section
8.2 of the Production Partnership Agreement and the liquidation of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. The hypothetical credit
balance in a Limited Partner's Capital Account shall be the purchase price for
such Limited Partner's Interest; provided, however, that such purchase price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to 70% of the distributions of Distributable
Cash received by such Limited Partner on or before the date the Limited Partner
receives a check in payment for the Limited Partner's tendered Interest which is
attributable to sales of Production Partnership Hydrocarbon production
attributable to Proved Reserves since the date as of which the Production
Partnership's Proved Reserves are calculated for purposes of this Section 7.5C.
In order to value the sale proceeds to be received upon such assumed sale, the
General Partners shall employ the petroleum engineering reports and other
petroleum reserve information referred to in Section 9.4C of this Agreement for
the end of the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective Date. First,
future gross revenues expected to be derived from the production and sale of the
Proved Reserves attributable to the Production Partnership Producing Properties
will be estimated using either (i) escalations of future sales prices of
Hydrocarbons supplied by the General Partners (the "Escalated Case") or (ii)
only escalations of such future sales prices of Hydrocarbons permitted by
Regulation S-X adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC
Case"), as the General Partners may determine in their discretion. Next, future
net revenues will be calculated by deducting anticipated expenses (including
operating expenses and other costs that will be incurred in producing and
marketing such reserves and any gross production, excise, windfall profit or
other taxes, other than Federal income taxes, based on the Hydrocarbon
production of the Production Partnership or sales thereof) (using either (i)
escalations of future costs supplied
-41-
<PAGE>
by the General Partners in the event the General Partners adopted the Escalated
Case with respect to future sales prices of Hydrocarbons or (ii) constant future
costs in the event the General Partners adopted the SEC Case with respect to
future sales prices of Hydrocarbons) from estimated future gross revenues. Then
the present worth of the future net revenues will be calculated by discounting
the estimated future net revenues at either 10% (in the event the General
Partners employed pricing criteria in accordance with the SEC case) or that rate
per annum which is one (1) percentage point higher than the prime rate of
interest of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. or any successor bank, as such prime
rate of interest is announced by said bank from time to time (in the event the
General Partners employed pricing criteria in accordance with the Escalated
Case). If the latter interest rate is used and exceeds 11% per annum, the
General Partners will provide, for comparative purposes only, the repurchase
price if computed based upon a 10% per annum discount rate. This amount will be
reduced by an additional 30% to take into account the uncertainties attendant to
the production and sale of Hydrocarbon reserves and other unforeseen
contingencies. This reduced amount is subject to upward or downward adjustment
by the General Partners, in the event that during the period between the end of
the Fiscal Year preceding the applicable Effective Date and such Effective Date,
there has occurred any material increase or decrease in the current price of oil
or gas or in the estimated amount of Production Partnership Proved Reserves
thereof from the current oil and gas prices or the estimated Proved Reserves
used in the above calculation of the present worth of the future net revenues.
Salvage value of tangible equipment installed on the Production Partnership
Wells and costs of plugging and abandoning the productive Production Partnership
Wells, both discounted at the applicable aforementioned rate from the expected
date of abandonment, will be estimated, and the Production Partnership's
Producing Properties which do not have Proved Reserves attributable to them but
which have not been condemned will have such reserves valued at their then fair
value as determined by an independent petroleum engineering firm. The Production
Partnership's cash on hand, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable (less a
reasonable reserve for doubtful accounts) and the market value of its other
assets as determined by a qualified independent appraiser will be added to the
value of the Production Partnership's Producing Properties thus determined, to
arrive at the Production Partnership's hypothetical sale proceeds for purposes
of this Section 7.5C.
-42-
<PAGE>
D. Within sixty (60) days after the applicable Effective Date, the General
Partners will deliver to each Limited Partner who has tendered such Limited
Partner's Interest to the General Partners during the calendar quarter ending on
such Effective Date a check in the amount of the purchase price for such
Interest together with a statement evidencing that such price has been
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5C. The statement will
show which portion of the purchase price is represented by the value of the
Proved Reserves and by each of the other classes of Production Partnership
assets and liabilities attributable to the account of the Limited Partnership
and, by virtue of a Limited Partner's Interest in the Limited Partnership,
attributable to the account of the Limited Partner. The Limited Partner will
then have thirty (30) days after receipt of payment for such Interest from a
General Partner to revoke, by notice to the General Partners and return of such
check, the sale of such Limited Partner's Interest. If the Limited Partner does
not timely revoke such Limited Partner's intention to sell, the assignment of
such Limited Partner's Interest to the purchaser of such Interest will be
executed on such Limited Partner's behalf by a General Partner as attorney in
fact; provided, however, that the obligation of the General Partners to purchase
the Interests tendered by the Limited Partners shall be limited during any four
consecutive fiscal quarters to an amount not in excess of 1% of the Limited
Partners' Capital Contributions (exclusive of Capital Contributions made by the
General Partners or their Affiliates as Limited Partners). Moreover, the General
Partners will not be obligated to buy any Units pursuant to such right if such
purchase, when added to the total of all other Sales or other dispositions of
Interest within the preceding 12 months, would result in the Limited Partnership
being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or would cause the Limited
Partnership to lose its status as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
If less than all of the Interests tendered are purchased, the Interests
purchased will be selected by lot. The Limited Partners whose tendered Interests
were rejected by reason of the foregoing limitations shall not be entitled to
priority in the following quarter. Contemporaneously with the closing of any
such sale, which shall not be earlier than 30 days after tender of the purchase
price for an Interest to a Limited Partner, a General Partner, as attorney in
fact for such Limited Partner, will execute such certificates or other documents
and perform such acts as the General Partners deem necessary to effect the sale
and transfer of the liquidating Limited Partner's Interest to the purchaser and
to preserve the limited liability status of the Limited Partnership under the
laws of the jurisdictions in which it is doing business.

Dissolution, Liquidation and Termination
----------------------------------------
of the Limited Partnership
--------------------------
Section 8.1. Events Causing Dissolution
----------------------------------------
A. The Limited Partnership shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of
the following events:
(i) the expiration of its term, without any continuation thereof as
set forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement;
(ii) the Incapacity of the sole General Partner. However, within
ninety days thereafter the remaining Partners may elect to reconstitute
the Limited Partnership prior to application of the liquidation provisions
of Section 8.2;
(iii) the Sale or other disposition at one time of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Limited Partnership existing at the
time of such Sale (including the liquidation or redemption other than in
kind of its interest in the Production Partnership);
(iv) the election to dissolve the Limited Partnership (a) by the
General Partners (which election shall be Consented to by more than 50% in
Interest of the Limited Partners), or (b) by the Consent of more than 50%
in Interest of the Limited Partners;
(v) ninety days after the Removal of the sole General Partner
(unless a successor is elected pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement);
(vi) the dissolution and liquidation of the Production Partnership
without the continuance of its business by the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 4.2A(ii) of this Agreement; or
(vii) the happening of any other event causing the dissolution of
the Limited Partnership under the laws of the State, except that the
Incapacity of any Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Limited
Partnership and the seizure of the Interest of any Partner shall not
dissolve the Limited Partnership.
-44-
<PAGE>
B. Dissolution of the Limited Partnership shall be effective on the day on
which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Limited
Partnership shall not terminate until the General Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Limited Partnership with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State and shall have complied with the laws of the
other states in which its does business and the assets of the Limited
Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Limited Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a limited partnership following dissolution of the
Limited Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth herein
or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Limited Partnership, its liabilities shall be
paid in the order provided herein. The General Partners shall either distribute
in kind or sell the Limited Partnership's property so that such disposition is
in the best interests of the Limited Partners, and shall execute all amendments
terminating the Limited Partnership. In connection with any such Sale, the
General Partners shall attempt to obtain the best prices for such property.
Pending such Sales, the General Partners shall have the right to continue to
operate and otherwise to deal with Limited Partnership property. In the event
the Limited Partnership is dissolved on account of the Incapacity or Removal of
the sole General Partner, the Limited Partnership shall elect, in accordance
with the provisions of Article Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating Agent") to
perform the function of a General Partner in liquidating the assets of the
Limited Partnership and winding up its affairs, and shall pay to such
Liquidating Agent its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Gain or loss realized on the Sale or other disposition of the Limited
Partnership's assets will be credited to (in the case of gain) or charged
against (in the case of loss) each Partner's Capital Account to the extent
allocable to such Partner under Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement. In the
event of a distribution in kind of (a) any property other than an interest in a
Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with the
portion of the Limited Partnership's adjusted basis thereof attributable to the
interest therein distributed to it and (b) any Producing Property or an interest
in any Producing Property, each Partner's Capital
-45-
<PAGE>
Account shall first be credited or debited with its share of the
unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of said
Producing Property or interest in said Producing Property. Each Partner's share
of said unrealized appreciation or depreciation shall be equivalent to its share
(allocated pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement) of the gain or
loss on an actual Sale of such Producing Property or interest therein. The
Capital Account of each Partner to whom a Producing Property or an interest in a
Producing Property is distributed shall be debited with the fair market value of
the Producing Property distributed to it. No Partner shall be distributed an
interest in any asset if the distribution would result in a deficit balance or
increase the deficit balance in its Capital Account (after making the
adjustments referred to in this Section 8.2A relating to distribution in kind).
Any liquidation of the Limited Partnership shall take place out of court and
without application being made therefor to the Secretary of State of the State.
B. In settling accounts after dissolution, the assets of the Limited
Partnership shall be paid out in the following order: (i) to third party
creditors, in the order or priority as provided by law; (ii) to the General
Partners and any Liquidating Agent for any expenses of the Limited Partnership
paid by or payable to them to the extent they are entitled to reimbursement
therefor pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) to all of the Limited Partners in the
amount equivalent to the amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as
adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2A of this Agreement) on the date of
distribution; (iv) to the General Partners in the amount equivalent to the
amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 8.2A of this Agreement) on the date of distribution; and (v) the balance
shall be paid to the Partners in the manner provided for by Sections 5.2 and 5.3
of this Agreement with respect to Distributable Cash.
C. In the event that following the final distribution under Section 8.2B
the General Partners have a deficit balance in their Capital Account balances,
they shall contribute cash to the Limited Partnership necessary to eliminate
said deficit balance, which amount shall be distributed to the other Partners to
the extent of their remaining positive Capital Account balances.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon the
dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partners will
contribute to the Partnership the lesser of: (a) the deficit balances in their
capital accounts; or (b) the excess of 1.01 percent of the total Capital
Contributions of the Limited Partners over the capital previously contributed by
the General Partners.

("Properties"), a Delaware corporation, as General Partner, and all Additional
and Substituted Limited Partners admitted to the Partnership.

WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the Amended Agreement provides that the General

Partners' Interests in the Partnership and (ii) revise the terms of the optional
right of presentment which may be exercised by the Limited Partners.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
I. The last sentence contained in Section 7.3A of the Amended Agreement is
hereby amended and restated as follows:
Any sale, assignment or transfer shall be recognized by the Limited
Partnership as effective on the first business day of the month following
the General Partner's receipt of such notification.
-1-
<PAGE>
II. The Amended Agreement is hereby amended to provide for a new Article 15.
Said Article is hereby stated as follows:
Article 15
Section 15.1. Optional Repurchase Right
-----------------------------------------
Any Limited Partner shall have the right, at his option, to present
his Interests to the General Partner or its designated Affiliate for
repurchase on the basis set forth in this Article 15.
Section 15.2. Procedure for Repurchase
----------------------------------------
A. As of December 31, 1992 and annually thereafter (the
"Appraisal Date") the General Partner shall appraise the
Proved Reserves and other assets of the Partnership pursuant
to the provisions set forth herein and shall assign a
repurchase price (the "Repurchase Price") to the Limited
Partners' Interests in the Partnership in accordance with the
provisions set forth herein.
B. In arriving at the Repurchase Price, the General Partner shall
consider those factors deemed relevant by it including,
without limitation, the following:
(i) the present value of the estimated future net revenues
of the Production Partnership's Proved Reserves,
calculated as described below; and
(ii) the book value of all other Partnership assets and
liabilities.
Section 15.3. Calculation of Present Value of the
Partnership's Estimated Future Net Revenues.
--------------------------------------------
In calculating the present value of the Partnership's Estimated
Future Net Revenues the General Partner shall use the petroleum
engineering reports and other petroleum reserve information required
to be furnished to the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 9.4C of
the Agreement.
-2-
<PAGE>
Future gross revenues expected to be derived from the production and
sale of the Proved Reserves attributable to the Production
Partnership's Producing Properties shall be estimated using either
(i) escalations of future sales prices of Hydrocarbons supplied by
the General Partner (the "Escalated Case") or (ii) sales prices of
Hydrocarbons provided by Regulation S-X adopted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC Case"), as the General Partner may
determine in its sole discretion.
Future net revenues shall be calculated by deducting anticipated
expenses (using either (i) escalations of future costs supplied by
the General Partner if the General Partner adopted the Escalated
Case with respect to future sales prices of Hydrocarbons or (ii)
constant future costs if the General Partner adopted the SEC Case
with respect to future sales prices of Hydrocarbons) from estimated
future gross revenues.
The present value of the future net revenues shall be calculated by
discounting the estimated future net revenues at either 10% (if the
General Partner employed future pricing criteria in accordance with
the SEC Case) or that rate per annum which is one percentage point
higher than the prime rate of interest of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A. or any successor bank, as of the Appraisal Date (if the General
Partner employed pricing criteria in accordance with the Escalated
Case, provided, however, that such discount rate will not exceed 18%
per annum and will be no less than 10% per annum).
Section 15.4. Risk Reduction.
------------------------------
In determining the Repurchase Price for Limited Partners pursuant to
this Section 15, the present value of the Partnership's Proved
Developed Producing Reserves shall be reduced by 25% for risk and
the present value of all other categories of Proved Reserves shall
be reduced by 35% for risk. The risk reductions shall be subject to
upward or downward adjustment by the General Partner if, during the
period between the Appraisal Date and the Effective Date (as defined
in Section 15.5), there has been a material increase or decrease in
the current price of oil or gas or in the estimated amount of the
Partnership's Proved Reserves.
-3-
<PAGE>
Section 15.5. Tender Procedure.
---------------------------------
Upon completion of the appraisal of the Partnership's assets as of
the Appraisal Date, the General Partner shall notify each Limited
Partner of the Repurchase Price and his proportionate share thereof
and either the General Partner or one of its Affiliates will offer
to purchase such Limited Partner's Interests in exchange for such
Unit Holder's proportionate share of the Repurchase Price (a
"Repurchase Offer"). Any Limited Partner desiring to do so may
accept such Repurchase Offer by notifying the General Partner of his
election. Limited Partners so notifying the General Partner shall be
referred to herein as "Electing Limited Partners". The General
Partner or its designated Affiliate shall thereupon promptly pay to
each Electing Limited Partner, his proper share of the Repurchase
Price, calculated as herein set forth, within 30 days from the date
which a properly drawn assignment of such Electing Limited Partner's
interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, is tendered
to and accepted by the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
(the "Effective Date"). Upon the acquisition of an Electing Limited
Partner's Interests, the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
shall, as of the Effective Date of such acquisition, succeed to all
the rights and obligations attributable to such interest.
Section 15.6. Monthly Adjustment to Repurchase Price
-----------------------------------------------------
The Repurchase Price shall be recalculated monthly with the
Repurchase Price being reduced by the amount of any cash
distributions to Limited Partners during the period from the
Appraisal Date to the date of the payment of the Repurchase Price
and shall otherwise be adjusted to reflect the effect of material
operations during such period, including a material increase or
decrease in the current price of oil or gas or in the estimated
amount of the Partnership's Proved Reserves. In the event the
Repurchase Price is adjusted for any reason other than to reflect
the payment of cash distributions, the General Partner shall provide
written notification of such adjustment to the Limited Partners at
least ten (10) business days prior to acceptance of Units for
purchase.
-4-
<PAGE>
Section 15.7. Limitation on Units Repurchased.
-----------------------------------------------
A. At the sole discretion of the General Partner, the General
Partner or its designated Affiliate may either (i) limit the
time period in which it will accept tendered Units for
repurchase or (ii) limit the amount of Units to be accepted
for repurchase; provided, however, that in any event the
annual repurchase offer will (i) remain open for at least
thirty (30) days and (ii) the General Partner or its
designated Affiliate will offer to annually repurchase (and
will purchase validly presented Units) at least 10% of the
outstanding Units of the Partnership. In the event the General
Partner or its designated Affiliate imposes a limitation, the
General Partner will either (i) specify such limitation(s) in
the annual Repurchase Offer mailed to the Limited Partners or
(ii) provide all Limited Partners with written notification of
such limitation(s) at least thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of any such limitation(s).
B. In the event the General Partner imposes a limitation upon the
number of Interests to be repurchased in the Partnership, and
the amount of Interests tendered, but not repurchased, exceeds
such limitation, such tendered Interests will be accepted for
repurchase by lot.
C. In addition, in order to avoid certain possible adverse tax
consequences, the General Partner may, in order to comply with
the regulations or procedures under Section 469(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to
"publicly traded partnerships," (i) delay or defer the
Effective Date of any repurchase and (ii) limit the total
number of Interests of any Partnership to be repurchased in
any 12-month period to the maximum number provided in such
regulations and procedures. In the event of such delay or
deferral, the General Partner shall notify the Electing
Limited Partner of the reasons therefor and shall provide the
Electing Limited Partner with the option to withdraw his
tender of Interests for repurchase.

election. Limited Partners so notifying the General Partner shall be
referred to herein as "Electing Limited Partners". The General
Partner or its designated Affiliate shall thereupon promptly pay to
each Electing Limited Partner, his proper share of the Repurchase
Price, calculated as herein set forth, within 30 days from the date
which a properly drawn assignment of such Electing Limited Partner's
interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, is tendered
to and accepted by the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
(the "Effective Date"). Upon the acquisition of an Electing Limited
Partner's Interests, the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
shall, as of the Effective Date of such acquisition, succeed to all
the rights and obligations attributable to such interest.

Section 15.6. Monthly Adjustment to Repurchase Price
----------------------------------------------------
The Repurchase Price shall be recalculated monthly with the
Repurchase Price being reduced by the amount of any cash
distributions to Limited Partners during the period from the
Appraisal Date to the date of the payment of the Repurchase Price
and shall otherwise be adjusted to reflect the effect of material
operations during such period, including a material increase or
decrease in the current price of oil or gas or in the estimated
amount of the Partnership's Proved Reserves. In the event the
Repurchase Price is adjusted for any reason other than to reflect
the payment of cash distributions, the General Partner shall provide
written notification of such adjustment to the Limited Partners at
least ten (10) business days prior to acceptance of Units for
purchase.
Section 15.7. Limitation on Units Repurchased
----------------------------------------------
A. At the sole discretion of the General Partner, the General
Partner or its designated Affiliate may either (i) limit the
time period in which it will accept tendered Units for
repurchase or (ii) limit the amount of Units to be accepted for
repurchase; provided, however, that in any event the annual
repurchase offer will (i) remain open for at least thirty (30)
days and (ii) the General Partner or its designated Affiliate
will offer to annually repurchase (and will purchase validly
presented Units) at least 10% of the outstanding Units of the
Partnership. In the event the General Partner or its designated
Affiliate imposes a limitation, the General Partner will either
(i) specify such limitation(s) in the annual Repurchase Offer
mailed to the Limited Partners or (ii) provide all Limited
Partners with written notification of such limitation(s) at
least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such
limitation(s).
B. In the event the General Partner imposes a limitation upon the
number of Interests to be repurchased in the Partnership, and
the amount of Interests tendered, but not repurchased, exceeds
such limitation, such tendered Interests will be accepted for
repurchase by lot.
-5-
<PAGE>
C. In addition, in order to avoid certain possible adverse tax
consequences, the General Partner may, in order to comply with
the regulations or procedures under Section 469(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to "publicly
traded partnerships," (i) delay or defer the Effective Date of
any repurchase and (ii) limit the total number of Interests of
any Partnership to be repurchased in any 12-month period to the
maximum number provided in such regulations and procedures. In
the event of such delay or deferral, the General Partner shall
notify the Electing Limited Partner of the reasons therefor and
shall provide the Electing Limited Partner with the option to
withdraw his tender of Interests for repurchase.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands as of
the 4th day of August, 1993.

-11-
<PAGE>
their status of development, such proved reserves shall be subdivided into the

(a) "Proved Developed Reserves" shall mean proved reserves which
can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing
equipment and operating methods. This classification shall include:
(1) "Proved Developed Producing Reserves" which are proved
developed reserves which are expected to be produced from existing
wells; and
(2) "Proved Developed Nonproducing Reserves" which are
proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of
existing wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of
such wells, which are expected to be produced through these wells
in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons
available for production should be relatively small compared to
the cost of a new well.
Additional Hydrocarbons expected to be obtained through the
application of improved recovery techniques are included as "Proved
Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
responses that increased recovery will be achieved.
(b) "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" shall mean all reserves which
are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from
existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Such reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those
drilling units offsetting productive units which are reasonably certain
of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units
are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty,
based on accepted geological, geophysical and engineering studies and
data, that there is continuity of production from an existing productive
formation. No estimates for Proved Undeveloped Reserves are attributable
to any acreage for which improved recovery is contemplated, unless the
techniques to be employed have been proved effective by actual tests in
the same area and reservoir.

industry) only on the condition that the Production Partnership shall not
participate in any Development Drilling or Identified Development Drilling
in "offshore waters" which are not state-owned waters;
(vii) enter into any partnership agreement, sharing arrangement, or
joint venture with any Person acceptable to the Managing Partners and

Section 4.3. Sales, Purchases and Operation of Producing
---------------------------------------------------------
Properties; Additional Financing
--------------------------------
A. Except with respect to Producing Properties whose aggregate purchase
price does not exceed 10% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, no Producing Property shall be acquired by the Production
Partnership unless there has been prepared and evaluated with respect thereto
either an Acquisition Reserve Report or an Engineering Audit Letter acceptable
to the Management Committee;
B. Neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall sell, transfer or
convey any or all of their interest in Producing Properties to the Production
Partnership or purchase or acquire any oil and gas properties or interest from
the Production Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to
transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Limited Partnership under the
circumstances at the time such transaction is consummated. Such transactions
shall be further subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Prior to the date on which the Production Partnership has
acquired its final Producing Property, neither the Managing Partners nor
any Affiliate of a Managing Partner (other than an Affiliated Program)
shall acquire any Producing Property after the Activation of the
Production Partnership unless prior thereto the Production Partnership
shall have been offered the right to acquire
-26-
<PAGE>
such Producing Property, or an interest therein, and the Management
Committee shall have determined that the acquisition of such Producing
Property, or an interest therein, is not in the best interests of the
Production Partnership;
(ii) Any purchase or sale of a Producing Property from or to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall be made at the Property
Acquisition Cost for such Producing Property as adjusted for intervening
operations, unless the Managing Partner or such Affiliate has reasonable
grounds to believe that cost is materially more or less than the fair
market value of such property, in which case such sale or purchase shall
be made at a price equal to the fair market value thereof as determined by
an independent petroleum engineer;
(iii) If a Managing Partner sells, transfers or conveys any oil, gas
or other mineral interests or property to the Production Partnership, it
must, at the same time, sell to the Production Partnership an equal
proportionate interest in all its other property in the same Prospect. A
Sale or conveyance to the Production Partnership of less than the entire
ownership interest of a Managing Partner or any Affiliate is only
permitted if: (a) the interests retained or obtained by the Managing
Partners or Affiliate and acquired by the Production Partnership are
either (x) proportionate, uniform and undivided Working Interests if the
Producing Property acquired by the Production Partnership is a Working
Interest or (y) proportionate, uniform and undivided Royalty Interests if
the Producing Property acquired by the Production Partnership is a
Royalty, (b) the respective obligations of the Managing Partners or
Affiliate and the Production Partnership are substantially the same, and
(c) the interest of the Managing Partners or their Affiliates in revenues
does not exceed the amount proportionate to their interest. The Managing
Partners and their Affiliates may not retain or obtain any overrides or
other burdens on the interest obtained by the Production Partnership, and
may not enter into any Farmouts with respect to their retained interest,
except to nonaffiliated third parties or to an Affiliated Program;
(iv) In the event a Managing Partner or any Affiliate proposes to
acquire an interest in a Producing Property in which the Production
Partnership has an interest or in a
-27-
<PAGE>
Producing Property abandoned by the Production Partnership within one year
preceding such proposed acquisition, such Managing Partner or Affiliate
shall offer the interest to the Production Partnership; and if cash or
financing is not available to the Production Partnership to purchase such
interest, neither such Managing Partner nor Affiliate shall acquire an
interest in such Producing Property. The term "abandon" for the purpose of
this subparagraph shall mean the termination, either voluntary or by
operation of the Lease or otherwise, of all of the Production
Partnership's interest in the Producing Property. This subsection shall
not apply after the lapse of five years of the Activation of the
Production Partnership or to any Affiliated Program where the interest of
such Managing Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the
Production Partnership, there are no duplication of fees to the Managing
Partners, and the Managing Partners do not obtain a greater benefit from
purchase of the interest by the Affiliated Program than they would if the
interest were purchased by the Production Partnership;
(v) During the existence of the Production Partnership and before it
has ceased operations, neither Managing Partner nor any Affiliate
(excluding any Affiliated Program where the interest of such Managing
Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the Production
Partnership) shall acquire, retain or drill for its own account any oil
and gas interest in any Prospect upon which the Production Partnership
possesses an interest, except for transactions which comply with Section
4.3B(iii) or 4.8 of this Agreement. The geological limits of a Producing
Property owned by the Production Partnership shall be enlarged or
contracted on the basis of subsequently acquired geological data to define
the productive limits of a reservoir and must include all of the acreage
determined by the subsequent data to be encompassed by such reservoir. If
the geological limits of a Producing Property, as so enlarged, encompass
any interest held by either a Managing Partner or an Affiliate of a
Managing Partner (excluding an Affiliated Program where the interest of
such Managing Partner is identical to or less than its interest in the
Production Partnership), such interest shall be sold to the Production
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3B(iv) of this
Agreement and any net income previously received by the Managing Partner
or Affiliate shall be paid over to the Production Partnership. If a
Managing Partner acquires
-28-
<PAGE>
additional acreage or interests in a Prospect of the Production
Partnership, it must sell such to the Production Partnership and is
prohibited from retaining any such interest, except as may be permitted by
Section 4.3B of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Production Partnership will not be required to expend additional funds to
acquire any such interest unless funds are available from the Capital
Contributions of the Partners;
(vi) Producing Properties may be sold, Farmed-out or otherwise
transferred from or to an Affiliated Program only pursuant to transactions
that (a) comply with Sections 4.3B(iii) and 4.3B(iv) of this Agreement,
and (b) are in exchange for the transferee's obligation to conduct
exploratory drilling, Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on such properties or in
connection with the formation of a joint venture among the Production
Partnership and such Affiliated Program, provided that the compensation
arrangement or any other interest or right of the Managing Partners or any
Affiliate is the same in the Production Partnership and Affiliated
Program, or, if different, the aggregate compensation of the Managing
Partners does not exceed the lower of the compensation they would have
received in the Production Partnership or the Affiliated Program, and the
terms of such Sale, Farmout or transfer comply with the provisions of
Section 4.8 of this Agreement;
(vii) Any Sale of inventory or other materials by the Production
Partnership to any Managing Partner or Affiliate shall be made at the
applicable rates set forth in the standard form of the accounting
procedure then recommended by the Council of Petroleum Accountants
Societies of North America;
(viii) Any operating agreements pursuant to which any Managing
Partner or any Affiliate acts as operator of Producing Properties shall be
of a nature customary in the industry and payments to any Managing Partner
or any Affiliate for acting as operator shall not exceed the compensation
which would be paid by unaffiliated third parties in the same geographic
area for similar goods and services. Reimbursement of the Managing
Partner's overhead pursuant to such operating agreement will not be
duplicative of any reimbursement of General and
-29-
<PAGE>
Administrative Costs made pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement; and
(ix) To the extent a Managing Partner or any Affiliate acquires an
interest in a Producing Property in which the Production Partnership
acquires an interest, such Managing Partner or Affiliate shall pay its
allocable portion of the cost of the preparation of the Acquisition
Reserve Report or Engineering Audit Letter, as the case may be, respecting
such Producing Property.
C. The Managing Partners may not expend any amount of Production
Partnership funds over the term of the Production Partnership for the payment of
Production Partnership costs (other than recompletion costs) incurred in
connection with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling in
excess of 10% of the amount of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership borrowings. If the
Managing Partners determine that funds in addition to the Capital Contributions
to the Production Partnership are required for the payment of Production
Partnership costs (other than Property Acquisition Costs), the Managing Partners
may apply or reserve Income or Investment Income for the payment of such
Production Partnership costs and/or the Managing Partners may cause the
Production Partnership to borrow funds for the payment of Production Partnership
costs incurred in connection with Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling and Improved Recovery operations; provided, however, that the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of such borrowings shall not at any one time exceed
an amount equal to 20% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership.
D. Each Managing Partner shall have the authority to secure the payment
of borrowings incurred by it for its own account or for purposes of paying its
allocable share of Production Partnership costs by assigning to lenders all or
part of its Managing Partner's interest in Profits and Distributable Cash, and
by granting such lenders a security interest or mortgage in an undivided
interest in any Production Partnership Property not to exceed its Managing
Partner's percentage interest in Income; provided, however, that the Managing
Partners, in the aggregate, shall retain unencumbered at least a 1% interest in
each of Production Partnership Property, Profits and Distributable Cash.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any
sale or foreclosure of a Managing Partner's interest in full or partial
-30-
<PAGE>
satisfaction of such borrowings, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and in the method by which Income and costs are
allocated to the Partners to assure that the Limited Partnership and the other
Managing Partner will not bear any of the costs attributable to such sold or
foreclosed interest and that such Managing Partner will not share or participate
in any of the capital, Income, costs or distributions attributable to such sold
or foreclosed interest except to the extent of the unencumbered interest
retained by such Managing Partner.
Section 4.4. Prohibited Transactions
-------------------------------------
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the following transactions are expressly prohibited:
(i) the Production Partnership shall not make any loans to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate;
(ii) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall make any
loans to the Production Partnership except at a rate of interest not in
excess of the interest cost incurred by the Managing Partners or
Affiliates or the amount of interest that would be charged to the
Production Partnership (without regard to the Managing Partner's or
Affiliate's financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on
comparable loans for the same purpose, whichever is lower, and the
Managing Partners and Affiliates shall not receive points or financing
charges or fees regardless of the amount;
(iii) except as expressly contemplated hereby, no agent, attorney,
accountant or other independent consultant or contractor who is also
employed on a full-time basis by any Managing Partner or any Affiliate
shall be compensated by the Production Partnership for his or her
services;
(iv) other than those received for the account of the Production
Partnership, no rebates may be received by any Managing Partner or any
Affiliate in connection with Production Partnership operations or
expenditures, nor may any Managing Partner or any Affiliate participate in
any reciprocal business arrangement that would circumvent any of the
provisions of this Agreement;
-31-
<PAGE>
(v) on a monthly basis, costs paid and revenues received by a
Managing Partner or an Affiliate for the account of the Production
Partnership shall be determined and the net amount resulting from such
monthly settlement shall be deposited into a Production Partnership
Account and no funds which, after such monthly settlement, are determined
to be held for the account of the Production Partnership shall be kept in
any account other than a Production Partnership Account, and the Managing
Partners shall not employ, or permit any other Person to employ, such
funds in any manner except for the benefit of the Production Partnership;
it being understood that the Managing Partners may invest Production
Partnership funds temporarily in the investments set forth in Section 9.3
of this Agreement pending their use by the Production Partnership. After
such monthly settlement, Production Partnership funds may not be
commingled with separate funds of either Managing Partner or any other
entity; and
(vi) the Limited Partnership shall not make any advance payment to
the Managing Partners or their Affiliates, except where necessary to
secure tax benefits of prepaid drilling costs.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
without the prior Consent of the Limited Partnership granted pursuant to the
provisions of Article Eleven of this Agreement and the provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Managing Partners shall not:
(i) lease, sell, or dispose of all or substantially all of the
Production Partnership's assets;
(ii) make, exercise or deliver any general assignment for the
benefit of the Production Partnership's creditors;
(iii) except as set forth in Section l0.1A, amend any provision of
this Agreement; or
(iv) dissolve the Production Partnership.
Section 4.5. Other Agreements of the Managing Partners
-------------------------------------------------------
A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
agreed that:
-32-
<PAGE>
(i) the Managing Partners and their Affiliates shall not take any
action with respect to the assets or property of the Production
Partnership which does not benefit exclusively the Production Partnership,
including:
(a) the utilization of Production Partnership funds as
compensating balances for the benefit of the Managing Partners or an
Affiliate of a Managing Partner; and
(b) the commitment of future production;
(ii) all benefits from marketing arrangements or other relationships
affecting property of any Managing Partner or its Affiliate and the
Production Partnership shall be fairly and equitably apportioned according
to the respective interests of each;
(iii) the Managing Partners may never profit themselves nor any
Affiliate by Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations in contravention of their fiduciary
obligation to the Limited Partnership; and
(iv) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall render to
the Production Partnership any oil field, equipage or drilling services
nor sell or lease to the Production Partnership any equipment or related
supplies unless:
(a) such Person is engaged, independently of the Production
Partnership and as an ordinary and ongoing business, in the business
of rendering such services or selling or leasing such equipment and
supplies to a substantial extent to other Persons in the oil and gas
industry in addition to drilling and income programs in which such
Person has an interest;
(b) the compensation, price or rental therefor is competitive
with the compensation, price or rental of other Persons in the area
engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or selling
or leasing comparable equipment and supplies which could reasonably
be made available to the Production Partnership;
-33-
<PAGE>
(c) the drilling services are billed on either a per foot, per
day or per hour rate, or some combination thereof; and
(d) provided that, if such Person is not engaged in a business
within the meaning of subdivision (a), then such compensation, price
or rental shall be the cost of such services, equipment or supplies
to such Person or the competitive rate which could be obtained in
the area, whichever is less.
Section 4.6. Construction of Gas Gathering Lines
-------------------------------------------------
The Managing Partners may cause the Production Partnership to construct
gas gathering lines if, in the opinion of the Managing Partners, it would be
economically feasible and otherwise consistent with prudent operating practice
to do so. The costs of any such gathering lines will be deemed to be Operating
Costs and shall be charged to the accounts of the Partners as such. The Managing
Partners may, in their discretion, construct, or cause an Affiliate of a
Managing Partner or other person to construct, gathering lines from Production
Partnership Wells to gas transmission systems. Whenever the Managing Partners
construct, or cause an Affiliate of a Managing Partner to construct, a gathering
line from a Production Partnership Well to a gas transmission system, the
Production Partnership shall pay the Managing Partners or such Affiliate an
amount that is not greater than the compensation that an unrelated party could
have reasonably charged in an arm's-length transaction for similar services in
the area as a transmission fee for the transmission of all gas through the
gathering system so constructed, and no other transmission fee shall be paid to
the Managing Partners or to any Affiliate.
Section 4.7. Contracts with the Managing Partners and Affiliates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All services provided to the Production Partnership by a Managing Partner
or any Affiliate for which it is compensated shall be embodied in a written
contract precisely setting forth the services to be rendered and the
compensation to be paid. Each contract relating to a transaction between the
Production Partnership and any Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall contain a
provision which shall permit termination of the
-34-
<PAGE>
contract by the Production Partnership without penalty on 30 days' prior written
notice. The Limited Partnership shall have the power to terminate, without cause
or penalty, any such contract on behalf of the Production Partnership.
Section 4.8. Farmouts
----------------------
The Management Committee may dispose of Producing Properties by Sale or
Farmout when the Management Committee, exercising the standard of a prudent
operator, determines that (a) the Production Partnership lacks sufficient funds
to conduct Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or Improved
Recovery operations on the properties and cannot obtain suitable alternative
financing for such Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations; (b) the properties have been downgraded by events
occurring after assignment to the Production Partnership to the point that
additional Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling, Improved
Recovery operations or continued production would no longer be desirable to the
Production Partnership; (c) Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on the properties would result in an
excessive concentration of Production Partnership funds on a Producing Property
creating, in the opinion of the Management Committee, undue risk to the
Production Partnership; or (d) the best interests of the Production Partnership
would be served by the Sale or Farmout. The Production Partnership shall not
conduct any drilling of wells other than Development Drilling and Identified
Development Drilling; provided, however, that the drilling of wells other than
Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling may be performed on
behalf of the Production Partnership pursuant to Farmouts. Neither the Managing
Partners nor any Affiliate shall enter into any Farmout or other agreement with
the Production Partnership where in consideration for services to be rendered,
an interest in production is payable to the Managing Partners or any Affiliate,
unless the Production Partnership has previously expended or committed to expend
the maximum amount that is authorized to use for Development Drilling or
Identified Development Drilling. Any Sale, Farmout or similar agreement between
the Production Partnership and a Managing Partner, Affiliate or Affiliated
Program will be permitted under the restrictions set forth in this Article Four
and will be subject to the following conditions:
-35-
<PAGE>
(i) the Management Committee (or a Managing Partner, if management
authority of the Production Partnership with respect thereto has been
delegated to it by the Management Committee) exercising the standard of a
prudent operator, shall determine that the Sale, Farmout or similar
agreement is in the best interests of the Production Partnership; and
(ii) the terms of the Sale, Farmout or similar agreement are
consistent with and in any case no less favorable than those utilized in
the same geographic area for similar arrangements.
Section 4.9. Other Operations
------------------------------
The Managing Partners and the Management Committee shall devote such time
to the Production Partnership as is reasonably required to carry on the
Production Partnership business, and the Managing Partners, members of the
Management Committee and their Affiliates shall at all times be free, subject to
any restrictions contained herein, to engage in all aspects of the Hydrocarbons
and natural resources business for their own accounts and for the accounts of
others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing Partners
and their Affiliates shall have the right to organize and operate other
partnerships, joint ventures or other oil and gas investment programs similar to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership.
Section 4.10. Prosecution, Defense and Settlement of Claims,
-----------------------------------------------------
Indemnification
---------------
A. The Managing Partners shall arrange to prosecute, defend, settle or
compromise actions at law or in equity at the expense of the Production
Partnership as may be necessary to enforce or protect the interests of the
Production Partnership. The Managing Partners shall satisfy any judgment,
decree, decision or settlement, first, out of any insurance proceeds available
therefor, next, out of the Production Partnership assets and Income, and,
finally, out of the assets of the Managing Partners and the general partners of
the Limited Partnership.
-36-
<PAGE>
B. In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to
which the Managing Partners are a party or are threatened to be made a party by
reason of the fact that they are the Managing Partners of the Production
Partnership (other than an action by or in the right of the Production
Partnership) involving an alleged cause of action for damages arising from the
performance of their duties under this Agreement or other activities relative to
the management and disposition of Producing Properties or production from such
properties, the Production Partnership shall indemnify the Managing Partners
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Production Partnership,
and provided that their conduct does not constitute negligence or misconduct.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement shall not of itself create a presumption that the Managing Partners
did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the Production Partnership.
C. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Production Partnership, to which the Managing Partners are a party
or are threatened to be made a party, involving an alleged cause of action by
the Limited Partnership for damages arising from the activities of the Managing
Partners in the management of the internal affairs of the Production Partnership
as prescribed in this Agreement or by law, or both, the Production Partnership
shall indemnify the Managing Partners against expenses, including attorneys'
fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner
they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Production
Partnership as specified in this subsection, except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Managing
Partners' course of conduct constituted negligence or misconduct.
D. To the extent that a Managing Partner has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Production Partnership shall indemnify it against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by it in
connection therewith.
-37-
<PAGE>
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.l0B and 4.10C of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Production Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because the indemnified party has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement.
F. The Production Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of
insurance which insures the Managing Partners for any liability as to which the
Managing Partners are prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.
ARTICLE FIVE
Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Production Partnership Funds
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Distributable Cash of the Production Partnership shall be
distributed simultaneously to the Limited Partnership and the Managing Partners
within 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter. Each Partner's share of
each such distribution of Distributable Cash shall be determined after giving
effect to the allocations set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement
for such period. All distributions of Distributable Cash shall reduce
dollar-for-dollar the balances of the Partners' Capital Accounts.
Section 5.2. Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses to the Managing
Partners
----------------------------------------------------------------
Geodyne Production and PW Production shall receive as Managing Partners
(1) on a nonrecurring basis, the Management Fee in an amount equal to 1-1/2% of
the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership; and (2)
reimbursement for Direct Administrative Costs billed directly to the Managing
Partners and General and Administrative Costs incurred by the Managing Partners
or their Affiliates allocable to the Production Partnership, except to the
extent that the Managing Partners or their Affiliates are otherwise reimbursed
-38-
<PAGE>
for such costs through the payment of Property Acquisition Costs, Operating
Costs or otherwise. Geodyne Production and PW Production shall allocate between
themselves the payment of the Management Fee as follows: in the event the Fee
(as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) (hereinafter referred to as
the "Limited Partnership Fee") is less than the actual organization and offering
costs of the Limited Partnership plus Unreimbursed Prior Organization and
Offering Costs (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement), then the
Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production
to the extent of such deficiency, 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne
Production to the extent of organization and offering costs and the remainder of
the Management Fee shall be paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne
Production. In the event the Limited Partnership Fee is equal to or greater than
the actual organization and offering costs of the Limited Partnership plus
Unreimbursed Prior Organization and Offering Costs (as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement), then the Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW
Production and 40% to Geodyne Production to the extent of organization and
offering costs and the remainder shall be paid as follows: in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(i) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has
been made (but the payments in Section 3.6B(ii) and (iii) have not been made) to
the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the Management Fee shall be
paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne Production; in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has
been made (but the payment in Section 3.6B(iii) has not been made) to the
general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of the Management Fee
over the amount paid to the general partners of the Limited Partnership pursuant
to Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement shall be paid 75% to PW
Production and 25% to Geodyne Production, the balance of the Management Fee, but
not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and 50% to Geodyne
Production, and any remaining balance of the Management Fee shall be paid 70% to
PW Production and 30% to Geodyne Production; and in the event the payment
referred to in Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has been
made to the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of the
Management Fee over the amount paid to the general partners of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
but not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and 50% to Geodyne
Production, and the balance of the Management Fee
-39-

shall be paid 70% to PW Production and 30% to Geodyne Production.
Section 5.3. Allocation of Income, Investment Income, Costs and
Deductions
------------------------------------------------------
A. The Income, Investment Income, Profits, Production Partnership costs
and losses of the Production Partnership shall be determined and allocated with
respect to each Fiscal Year of the Production Partnership as of and within 75
days after the end of such Fiscal Year.
B. (i) 100% of Investment Income, Property Acquisition Costs, costs
incurred in connection with Identified Development Drilling (including any
interest, commitment fees and other finance charges with respect to
borrowings incurred in connection therewith) and the Management Fee
referred to in Section 5.2(1) of this Agreement shall all be allocated to,
and borne by, the Limited Partnership. 100% of Organization and Offering
Costs shall be allocated to, and borne by, the Managing Partners as
follows: 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5.3B(ii) and 5.3B(iii), Income, General and
Administrative Costs, Operating Costs, costs incurred in connection with
Development Drilling and Direct Administrative Costs shall be allocated
among, and borne by, the Partners in the following percentages:
(a) Until Payout:
Limited Partnership 90.9091%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 9.0909%
(b) After Payout:
Limited Partnership 85.8586%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 14.1414%
The Managing Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest before and after Payout as follows: 70% to PW Production and 30%
to Geodyne Production if the Production Partnership is Activated within
twelve months after the date on which the
-40-
<PAGE>
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
with respect to the Units is declared effective (the "Effective Date"),
and 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production if the Production
Partnership is Activated during the twelve month period ending twenty-four
months after the Effective Date; provided, however, that if the Production
Partnership was Activated more than twelve months after the Effective Date
and the immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership was activated
(as defined in the partnership agreement respecting such Prior Production
Partnership) within twelve months after the Effective Date, then PW
Production shall be allocated that percentage of the aggregate Managing
Partners' Interest represented by a fraction, the numerator of which is
equal to the sum of (i) 70 multiplied by the number of days from the
activation of the immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership
through the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date, and (ii) 60
multiplied by the number of days from the date that is 12 months after the
Effective Date through the date of the Activation of the Production
Partnership, and the denominator of which is the total number of days that
has elapsed from the activation of the immediately preceding Prior
Production Partnership to the Activation of the Production Partnership,
and Geodyne Production shall be allocated the balance of the aggregate
Managing Partners' Interest (such allocation between the Managing Partners
of their aggregate Interest being their "Sharing Ratios"). The Managing
Partners shall have the authority to amend this Agreement to provide for
any different allocation between themselves at their discretion.
(ii) As used in this subsection, the "Measuring Date" shall be the
earlier of the date on which 90% of the Limited Partnership's Capital
Contribution has been expended or the second anniversary of the Activation
of the Production Partnership; the first "Allocation Period" shall be the
twelve month period beginning on the last day of the first full Fiscal
Year quarter after the Measuring Date; and each twelve month period
following the end of the first Allocation Period shall also be referred to
as an "Allocation Period". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if during each of the first two Allocation Periods the
amount of cash distributed to the Limited Partnership that is attributable
to the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) is less than a 15.1515%
cumulative (but not compounded) twelve-month return on the
-41-
<PAGE>
Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership, then
there shall be distributed to the Limited Partnership thereafter (in
addition to the amount of Distributable Cash distributed to the Limited
Partnership resulting from the allocations to the Limited Partnership set
forth in Section 5.3B(i)) an amount of cash up to 50% of the cash
otherwise distributable to the Managing Partners thereafter pursuant to
the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) not to exceed the amount of
any such deficiency (the amount of such cash distribution being a
"Transfer Amount"), and Income and costs sufficient to yield an amount of
Distributable Cash equal to the Transfer Amount and otherwise allocable to
the Managing Partners during the Fiscal Year in which such Allocation
Period ends and, to the extent necessary, each Fiscal Year thereafter
pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall be allocated to the Limited Partnership.
If during any Allocation Period after the initial two Allocation Periods,
the Limited Partnership is being allocated Income and costs pursuant to
Section 5.3B(i) such that there is distributed to the Limited Partnership
an amount of cash in excess of a 15.1515% cumulative (but not compounded)
twelve-month return on the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership since the beginning of the first two Allocation
Periods (such excess amount of cash being the "Surplus"), and there has
been distributed to the Limited Partnership a Transfer Amount, then there
shall be distributed to the Managing Partners thereafter an aggregate
amount of cash otherwise distributable to the Limited Partnership pursuant
to the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) equal to the amount of any
Surplus (the amount of such cash distribution being a "Reverse Transfer
Amount"), and Income and costs sufficient to yield an amount of
Distributable Cash equal to the Reverse Transfer Amount and otherwise
allocable to the Limited Partnership during the Fiscal Year in which such
Allocation Period ends and, to the extent necessary, each Fiscal Year
thereafter pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall be allocated to the Managing
Partners; provided, however, that the amount of any Reverse Transfer
Amount distributed to the Managing Partners shall not exceed an amount
equal to the aggregate of the Transfer Amounts distributed to the Limited
Partnership less the aggregate of all Reverse Transfer Amounts previously
distributed to the Managing Partners.
-42-
<PAGE>
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
on the seventh anniversary of the last day of the Fiscal Year in which the
Production Partnership commences Development Drilling, or Identified
Development Drilling, and in each Fiscal Year thereafter, (a) the
aggregate amount of Income less the aggregate amount of direct lease
operating expenses and severance, ad valorem, windfall profits, excise and
other taxes (but not income taxes) allocated to the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) attributable to production resulting from
Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties is less than (b) the aggregate amount of costs allocated to the
Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) incurred in connection
with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties during each Fiscal Year ending seven or more years prior
thereto, then Income and costs otherwise allocable to the Managing
Partners pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall thereafter be allocated to the
Limited Partnership until such deficiency in Income is eliminated.
(iv) For purposes of the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(ii)
of this Agreement, the amount of cash distributed to the Limited
Partnership for purposes of determining the return on the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership shall not
include any amounts attributable to the Production Partnership's payment
of any windfall profits tax.
C. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of any such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that the Income from the
Producing Property is allocated; and the Production Partnership shall allocate,
under Section 612A(c)(7)(D) of the Code, its adjusted basis in each Producing
Property to the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Production
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property. If such allocation
of basis is not permitted under the Code, the basis
-43-
<PAGE>
of each such property shall be allocated in the manner which the Managing
Partners deem will most closely achieve the result intended above.
D. The Capital Account of each Partner shall be credited or debited with
its Capital Contribution and distributions of Distributable Cash, by the
adjusted basis of partnership property distributed in kind and with its share of
Income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Production Partnership. Solely for
purposes of making adjustments to Capital Accounts, the Production Partnership
shall compute a simulated depletion allowance on each oil and gas property using
that method, as between the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to limitations which could apply to less than all the
Partners such as the quantity limitations of Code Section 613A(c)(3)) which
results in the greatest simulated depletion allowance. The Production
Partnership's simulated depletion allowance shall reduce each Partner's Capital
Account in the same proportion as such Partner's share of the adjusted basis of
such property as determined in Section 5.3C above. In no event shall the
Production Partnership's aggregate simulated depletion allowances with respect
to a property exceed the Production Partnership's adjusted basis in such
property (maintained solely for Capital Account purposes). Upon the taxable
disposition of an oil or gas property by the Production Partnership, the
Production Partnership's gain or loss shall be determined (solely for Capital
Account purposes) by subtracting its adjusted basis in such property (maintained
solely for Capital Account purposes) from the amount realized from such
disposition. Any resultant simulated gain shall be allocated to the Partners in
the same manner as that portion of the amount realized from such disposition
which exceeds the Production Partnership's adjusted basis in such property
(maintained solely for Capital Account purposes) is allocated to the Partners
and shall increase such Partners' Capital Accounts accordingly. Any resultant
simulated loss shall be allocated to the Partners in the same proportion as such
Partners (or their predecessors in interest) were allocated adjusted basis under
Section 5.3C with respect to such property and shall reduce such Partners'
Capital Accounts accordingly.
E. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense of the Production Partnership shall be credited with any portion of that
expense which is finally determined, judicially or administratively, to be
nondeductible for Federal income tax purposes, less any amortization or
depreciation thereof incurred prior to the date that the credit is made.
-44-
<PAGE>
F. In allocating Income and costs for any Fiscal Year in which the ratio
for sharing Income and costs changes pursuant to Section 5.3B(i), the
allocations of Income and costs shall be made, and the books of the Production
Partnership shall be closed, as soon as practicable after the date Payout
occurs, to determine each Partner's share of pre-change Income and costs and
each Partner's share of post-change Income and costs for that Fiscal Year.
G. Proceeds received from the Sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Production Partnership's Producing Properties shall be allocated to the Limited
Partnership and the Managing Partners to the extent of their adjusted basis in
such sold or transferred Production Partnership Property. Proceeds in excess of
said amount shall be allocated in accordance with the percentages set forth in
Section 5.3B(i) , except that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3F
and solely for purposes of this Section 5.3G, where the proceeds from such Sale
are distributed to the Partners and a portion of the Distributable Cash
attributable to such Sale proceeds is sufficient in amount to cause Payout to
occur in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect until Payout,
Payout shall be deemed to occur such that Income and Distributable Cash
attributable to the portion of such Sale proceeds in excess of the portion of
Sales proceeds sufficient in amount to cause Payout to occur shall be allocated
in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect after Payout.
Section 5.4. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions
-------------------------------------------------------------
Distributable Cash, Income, Investment Income, costs, deductions, Profits
and Losses allocable to the Partners shall be distributed or allocated, as the
case may be, to the Persons who were Partners, as of the last day of the fiscal
period for which the distribution or allocation is to be made, except that in
any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or transfers all or any part
of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during the fiscal period is
admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash, Income, Investment
Income, costs, deductions, Profits and Losses attributable to the Interest so
sold, assigned or transferred shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2
of this Agreement, be allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the
basis of the number of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on
-45-
<PAGE>
and after the admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided,
however, that the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing
Property shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners on the day the
distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The Managing Partners shall
inform the other Partners of the occurrence and terms of any such Sale by the
Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale has been
consummated.

Transferability of Managing Partner's Interests
-----------------------------------------------
Section 6.1. Transferability of Managing Partner's Interest
------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as provided in Sections 6.lB and 6.2B, each of the Managing
Partners shall not have the right to retire, withdraw, transfer or assign its
Managing Partner Interest, except that there may be substituted in its stead as
Managing Partner any entity that has, by merger, consolidation or otherwise,
acquired substantially all of its assets or capital stock and continued its
business.
B. Each Managing Partner may, upon at least ninety days' written notice to
the Limited Partnership and the other Managing Partner, cause the Production
Partnership to distribute, in partial liquidation of its Interest in the
Production Partnership, to such Managing Partner fractional, undivided interests
in the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership (such interest of a
Managing Partner in a Producing Property distributed is hereinafter referred to
as the "Distributed Interest") up to an aggregate interest equal in value to 75%
of the value of the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership that it
would have been entitled to upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Production
Partnership after application of the provisions of Section 8.2 of this Agreement
(the interest in a Producing Property of a Managing Partner retained in the
Production Partnership is hereinafter referred to as the "Retained Interest")
provided, however, that no such distribution shall occur (i) more than once with
respect to a Managing Partner, (ii) prior to seven years after the Activation of
the Production Partnership and (iii) unless such Managing Partner obtains an
opinion of counsel to the Production
-46-
<PAGE>
Partnership to the effect that such distribution will not result in any material
adverse tax consequence to the other Managing Partner or to the Limited
Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
event that any such distribution is made, appropriate adjustments shall be made
in the Capital Accounts of the Partners and in the allocation of Production
Partnership Income and costs to assure that the other Managing Partner will not
share or participate in any of the capital, costs, Income, or distributions
attributable to the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership except to
the extent of the Retained Interest of such Managing Partner.
Section 6.2. Removal of Managing Partners
------------------------------------------
A. (i) The power shall be vested in the Limited Partnership to remove
at any time any Managing Partner. The power shall be vested in the
Limited Partnership to consent to the admission of a successor
Managing Partner following the Removal of any Managing Partner by
the Limited Partnership. A successor Managing Partner shall be
selected pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2D of this
Agreement.
(ii) (a) A Managing Partner shall have the power to Remove the
other Managing Partner, and pursuant to Section l0.lA of this
Agreement, admit a successor Managing Partner, for "Cause" as
defined in Section 6.2A(ii)(b), but for no other reason.
(b) "Cause" for purposes of Section 6.2A(ii)(a) shall be
deemed to exist only (i) when a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a final determination (which determination is not
successfully appealed) that a Managing Partner has been guilty of
gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or similar breach of
fiduciary responsibility in carrying out its duties as a Managing
Partner, or (ii) a Managing Partner is dissolved or liquidated on
account of insolvency or any other event occurs resulting in the
appointment of a trustee or receiver who acquires control of the
affairs of such Managing Partner for the purpose of dissolution or
liquidation on account of insolvency, and such trustee or receiver
is not dismissed within 90 days after appointment of such trustee or
receiver, or (iii) (a) a report on the audited financial statements
of a Managing Partner and
-47-
<PAGE>
its consolidated corporate affiliates is issued by the independent
accountants for such Managing Partner that is qualified on a going
concern basis, or (b) either Managing Partner requests an audit to
be performed of the other Managing Partner and its consolidated
corporate affiliates by the independent accountants for the other
Managing Partner (the expense of such audit being paid by the
Managing Partner requesting the audit) , and such audit results in
the issuance of an opinion with respect to the financial statements
of the other Managing Partner and its consolidated corporate
affiliates for the period ending, and as of, the most recent date
feasible, that is qualified on a going concern basis.
B. (i) In the event that a Managing Partner is Removed, the Removed
Managing Partner's Interest in the Production Partnership shall be
transferred to the other Managing Partner, and the other Managing
Partner shall assign to the Removed Managing Partner a portion of
Production Partnership Income, costs and Distributable Cash as and
when such items are allocated or distributed, as the case may be, by
the Production Partnership equal to the percentage interest of the
Removed Managing Partner in the Production Partnership prior to its
Removal; provided, however, that such assignment shall be reduced
proportionately in the event of a foreclosure or sale referred to in
Section 4.3D with respect to the Removed Managing Partner's interest
transferred to the other Managing Partner to the extent of the
foreclosed or sold interest.
(ii) If a sole Managing Partner is Removed and a successor Managing
Partner is to be admitted to the Production Partnership, the removed
Managing Partner shall not be Removed until a successor Managing
Partner has been admitted to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Article 10 of this Agreement.
(iii) In the event a sole Managing Partner is Removed by the Limited
Partnership and a successor Managing Partner is to be admitted, the
incoming Managing Partner and the Removed Managing Partner shall, by
mutual agreement, select an independent petroleum consultant to
value the Removed Managing Partner's Interest in the Production
Partnership. In
-48-
<PAGE>
determining the value of the Managing Partner's Interest, the
independent consultant will take into account appropriate discount
factors in light of the risk of recovery of oil and gas reserves,
and, in any event, will utilize a "risk factor" discount no less
than that utilized in the most recent offer extended pursuant to
Section 7.5 of the Limited Partnership Agreement, if any. The
incoming Managing Partner, or the Production Partnership, shall have
the option to purchase at least 20% of the Interest of the Removed
Managing Partner for the value determined by the independent
appraisal. The Removed Managing Partner's Interest in the Production
Partnership shall be transferred to the successor Managing Partner,
and the successor Managing Partner shall assign to the Removed
Managing Partner a portion of Production Partnership Income, costs
and Distributable Cash as and when such items are allocated or
distributed, as the case may be, by the Production Partnership equal
to the percentage interest of the Removed Managing Partner in the
Production Partnership prior to Removal, less the portion purchased
by the successor Managing Partner or the Production Partnership.
C. Notwithstanding Section 3.6, any Managing Partner who shall be Removed
pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 shall be released by the other
Partners from all liability for Production Partnership debts and obligations
incurred by the Production Partnership prior to the date of such Removal.
D. Under circumstances in which the Limited Partnership Consents to the
admission of a successor Managing Partner, such admission shall not become
effective unless the Production Partnership shall have received a certificate,
duly executed by or on behalf of such proposed successor Managing Partner to the
effect that it is experienced in the performance (or employs sufficient
personnel who are experienced in performing) of functions of the type then being
performed by the Removed Managing Partner.

Section 7.1. Transferability of Limited Partnership's Interest
---------------------------------------------------------------
No Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment of the Limited Partnership's
Interest may be made if in the opinion of counsel to the Production Partnership,
such Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment, would (i) result in the Production
Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section
708 of the Code, or (ii) cause the Production Partnership to lose its status as
a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Managing
Partners may require an opinion of the transferor's counsel, satisfactory to the
Managing Partners, that such Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment would not
violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or "blue
sky" laws.
Section 7.2. Incapacity of Partners
------------------------------------
If a Partner (including a Managing Partner) becomes Incapacitated, the
Person who is its legal representative shall have all the rights of a Partner
for the purpose of settling or managing its estate and such power as the
Incapacitated Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest and to
join with such assignee in satisfying conditions precedent to such assignee
becoming a Substituted Partner. The Incapacity of a Partner shall not dissolve
the Production Partnership.
Section 7.3. Assignees and Substituted Partners

purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited Partnership unless the provisions of Section 7.1 shall have been
complied with and there shall have been filed with the Production Partnership a
dated Notification of such sale, assignment or transfer, executed and
acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser,
assignee or transferee and such

Notification (i) contains the acceptance by the purchaser, assignee or
transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii)
represents that such sale, assignment or transfer was made in accordance with
all applicable laws and regulations. Any sale, assignment or transfer shall be
recognized by the Production Partnership as effective on the date of such
Notification if the date of such Notification is within 30 days of the date on
which such Notification is filed with the Production Partnership, and otherwise
shall be recognized as effective on the date such Notification is filed with the
Production Partnership.
B. If the Limited Partnership assigns all of its Interest to an assignee,
the Limited Partnership shall cease to be a Partner.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited Partnership shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article
Seven to the same extent and in the same manner as the Limited Partnership
desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.
D. Any purchaser, assignee, transferee, donee, heir, legatee or other
recipient of an Interest shall be admitted to the Production Partnership as a
Substituted Partner only with the Consent of the other Partners, which Consent

executed by the Managing Partners on their own behalf, as well as on behalf of
each other Partner, pursuant to the power of attorney granted pursuant to
Section 12.5 of this Agreement.
E. No Person shall become a Substituted Partner until such Person shall
have satisfied the requirements of Section 10.2; provided, however, that for the
purpose of allocating Income, Investment Income, Profits, Losses, costs, and
Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as having become, and as appearing
in the records of the Production Partnership as, a Partner on such date as the
sale, assignment or transfer to such Person was recognized by the Production
Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.

of the following events:
(i) the expiration of its term, unless its term shall have been
extended by the Management Committee pursuant to Section 2.4 of this
Agreement;
(ii) the Incapacity of the sole Managing Partner. However, within

sole Managing Partner;
-52-
<PAGE>
(vi) the happening of any other event causing the dissolution of the
Production Partnership under the laws of the State, except that the
Incapacity of any Partner (other than the sole Managing Partner) shall not
dissolve the Production Partnership and the seizure of the Interest of any
Partner shall not dissolve the Production Partnership.
B. Dissolution of the Production Partnership shall be effective on the day
on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Production
Partnership shall not terminate until the Managing Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Production Partnership in the proper records of any
jurisdiction in which this Agreement has been recorded and shall have complied
with the laws of the states in which its does business and the assets of the
Production Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Production Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a general partnership following dissolution of the
Production Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth
herein or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Production Partnership, its liabilities shall
be paid in the order provided herein. The Managing Partners shall either
distribute in kind or sell the Production Partnership's property so that such
disposition is in the best interests of the Limited Partnership, and shall
execute all amendments terminating the Production Partnership. In connection
with any such Sale, the Managing Partners shall attempt to obtain the best
prices for such property. Pending such Sales, the Managing Partners shall have
the right to continue to operate and otherwise to deal with Production
Partnership property. In the event the Production Partnership is dissolved on
account of the Incapacity or Removal of the sole Managing Partner, the
Production Partnership shall elect, in accordance with the provisions of Article
Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating Agent") to perform the function of a Managing
Partner in liquidating the assets of the Production Partnership and winding up
its affairs, and shall pay to such Liquidating
-53-

Agent its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Gain or
loss realized on the Sale or other disposition of the Production Partnership's
assets will be credited to (in the case of gain) or charged against (in the case
of loss) each Partner's Capital Account to the extent allocable to it under
Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement. In the event of a distribution in kind
of (a) any property other than an interest in a Producing Property, each
Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with the portion of the Production
Partnership's adjusted basis thereof attributable to the interest therein
distributed to it and (b) any Producing Property or an interest in any Producing
Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall first be credited or debited with
its share of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair market
value of said Producing Property or interest in said Producing Property. Each
Partner's share of said unrealized appreciation or depreciation shall be
equivalent to its share (allocated pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this
Agreement) of the gain or loss on an actual Sale of such Producing Property or
interest therein. The Capital Account of each Partner to whom a Producing
Property or an interest in a Producing Property is distributed shall be debited

-11-
<PAGE>
(a) "Proved Developed Reserves" shall mean proved reserves which
can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing
equipment and operating methods. This classification shall include:
(1) "Proved Developed Producing Reserves" which are proved
developed reserves which are expected to be produced from existing
wells; and
(2) "Proved Developed Nonproducing Reserves" which are
proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of
existing wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of
such wells, which are expected to be produced through these wells
in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons
available for production should be relatively small compared to
the cost of a new well.
Additional Hydrocarbons expected to be obtained through the
application of improved recovery techniques are included as "Proved
Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
responses that increased recovery will be achieved.
(b) "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" shall mean all reserves which
are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from
existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Such reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those

of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units
are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty,
based on accepted geological, geophysical and engineering studies and
data, that there is continuity of production from an existing productive
formation. No estimates for Proved Undeveloped Reserves are attributable
to any acreage for which improved recovery is contemplated, unless the
techniques to be employed have been proved effective by actual tests in
the same area and reservoir.
"PW Production" shall mean PW Production Inc., a Delaware corporation.

partnership administrative adjustment. Geodyne Production shall consult
with PW Production with respect to the performance of its duties as "tax
matters partner."
B. Reliance by Third Parties on Managing Partners' Authority. No person,
firm or corporation dealing with the Production Partnership shall be required to
inquire into the authority of the Managing Partners to take or refrain from
taking any action or make or refrain from making any decision, but any person so
inquiring shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the Managing Partners
as to their due authorization.
Section 4.3. Sales, Purchases and Operation of Producing Properties;
Additional Financing
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except with respect to Producing Properties whose aggregate purchase
price does not exceed 10% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, no Producing Property shall be acquired by the Production
Partnership unless there has been prepared and evaluated with respect thereto
either an Acquisition Reserve Report or an Engineering Audit Letter acceptable
to the Management Committee;
B. Neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall sell, transfer
or convey any or all of their interest in Producing Properties to the Production
Partnership or purchase or acquire any oil and gas properties or interest from
the Production Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to
transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Limited Partnership under the
circumstances at the time such transaction is consummated. Such transactions
shall be further subject to the following restrictions:
-26-
<PAGE>
(i) Prior to the date on which the Production Partnership has
acquired its final Producing Property, neither the Managing Partners nor
any Affiliate of a Managing Partner (other than an Affiliated Program)
shall acquire any Producing Property after the Activation of the
Production Partnership unless prior thereto the Production Partnership
shall have been offered the right to acquire such Producing Property, or
an interest therein, and the Management Committee shall have determined
that the acquisition of such Producing Property, or an interest therein,
is not in the best interests of the Production Partnership;
(ii) Any purchase or sale of a Producing Property from or to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall be made at the Property
Acquisition Cost for such Producing Property as adjusted for intervening
operations, unless the Managing Partner or such Affiliate has reasonable
grounds to believe that cost is materially more or less than the fair
market value of such property, in which case such sale or purchase shall
be made at a price equal to the fair market value thereof as determined
by an independent petroleum engineer;
(iii) If a Managing Partner sells, transfers or conveys any oil,
gas or other mineral interests or property to the Production
Partnership, it must, at the same time, sell to the Production
Partnership an equal proportionate interest in all its other property in
the same Prospect. A Sale or conveyance to the Production Partnership of
less than the entire ownership interest of a Managing Partner or any
Affiliate is only permitted if: (a) the interests retained or obtained
by the Managing Partners or Affiliate and acquired by the Production
Partnership are either (x) proportionate, uniform and undivided Working
Interests if the Producing Property acquired by the Production
Partnership is a Working Interest or (y) proportionate, uniform and
undivided Royalty Interests if the Producing Property acquired by the
Production Partnership is a Royalty, (b) the respective obligations of
the Managing Partners or Affiliate and the Production Partnership are
substantially the same, and (c) the interest of the Managing Partners or
their Affiliates in revenues does not exceed the amount proportionate to
their interest. The Managing Partners and their Affiliates may not
retain or obtain any
-27-
<PAGE>
overrides or other burdens on the interest obtained by the Production
Partnership, and may not enter into any Farmouts with respect to their
retained interest, except to nonaffiliated third parties or to an
Affiliated Program;
(iv)In the event a Managing Partner or any Affiliate proposes to
acquire an interest in a Producing Property in which the Production
Partnership has an interest or in a Producing Property abandoned by the
Production Partnership within one year preceding such proposed
acquisition, such Managing Partner or Affiliate shall offer the interest
to the Production Partnership; and if cash or financing is not available
to the Production Partnership to purchase such interest, neither such
Managing Partner nor Affiliate shall acquire an interest in such
Producing Property. The term "abandon" for the purpose of this
subparagraph shall mean the termination, either voluntary or by
operation of the Lease or otherwise, of all of the Production
Partnership's interest in the Producing Property. This subsection shall
not apply after the lapse of five years of the Activation of the
Production Partnership or to any Affiliated Program where the interest
of such Managing Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the
Production Partnership, there are no duplication of fees to the Managing
Partners, and the Managing Partners do not obtain a greater benefit from
purchase of the interest by the Affiliated Program than they would if
the interest were purchased by the Production Partnership;
(v) During the existence of the Production Partnership and before
it has ceased operations, neither Managing Partner nor any Affiliate
(excluding any Affiliated Program where the interest of such Managing
Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the Production
Partnership) shall acquire, retain or drill for its own account any oil
and gas interest in any Prospect upon which the Production Partnership
possesses an interest, except for transactions which comply with Section
4.3B(iii) or 4.8 of this Agreement. The geological limits of a Producing
Property owned by the Production Partnership shall be enlarged or
contracted on the basis of subsequently acquired geological data to
define the productive limits of a reservoir and must include all of the
acreage determined by the subsequent data to be encompassed by such
reservoir. If the
-28-
<PAGE>
geological limits of a Producing Property, as so enlarged, encompass any
interest held by either a Managing Partner or an Affiliate of a Managing
Partner (excluding an Affiliated Program where the interest of such
Managing Partner is identical to or less than its interest in the
Production Partnership), such interest shall be sold to the Production
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3B(iv) of
this Agreement and any net income previously received by the Managing
Partner or Affiliate shall be paid over to the Production Partnership.
If a Managing Partner acquires additional acreage or interests in a
Prospect of the Production Partnership, it must sell such to the
Production Partnership and is prohibited from retaining any such
interest, except as may be permitted by Section 4.3B of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Production Partnership will not be
required to expend additional funds to acquire any such interest unless
funds are available from the Capital Contributions of the Partners;
(vi)Producing Properties may be sold, Farmed-out or otherwise
transferred from or to an Affiliated Program only pursuant to
transactions that (a) comply with Sections 4.3B(iii) and 4.3B(iv) of
this Agreement, and (b) are in exchange for the transferee's obligation
to conduct exploratory drilling, Development Drilling, Identified
Development Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on such properties
or in connection with the formation of a joint venture among the
Production Partnership and such Affiliated Program, provided that the
compensation arrangement or any other interest or right of the Managing
Partners or any Affiliate is the same in the Production Partnership and
Affiliated Program, or, if different, the aggregate compensation of the
Managing Partners does not exceed the lower of the compensation they
would have received in the Production Partnership or the Affiliated
Program, and the terms of such Sale, Farmout or transfer comply with the
provisions of Section 4.8 of this Agreement;
(vii) Any Sale of inventory or other materials by the Production
Partnership to any Managing Partner or Affiliate shall be made at the
applicable rates set forth in the standard form of the accounting
procedure then recommended by the Council of Petroleum Accountants
Societies of North America;
-29-
<PAGE>
(viii) Any operating agreements pursuant to which any Managing
Partner or any Affiliate acts as operator of Producing Properties shall
be of a nature customary in the industry and payments to any Managing
Partner or any Affiliate for acting as operator shall not exceed the
compensation which would be paid by unaffiliated third parties in the
same geographic area for similar goods and services. Reimbursement of
the Managing Partner's overhead pursuant to such operating agreement
will not be duplicative of any reimbursement of General and
Administrative Costs made pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement; and
(ix)To the extent a Managing Partner or any Affiliate acquires an
interest in a Producing Property in which the Production Partnership
acquires an interest, such Managing Partner or Affiliate shall pay its
allocable portion of the cost of the preparation of the Acquisition
Reserve Report or Engineering Audit Letter, as the case may be,
respecting such Producing Property.
C. The Managing Partners may not expend any amount of Production
Partnership funds over the term of the Production Partnership for the payment of
Production Partnership costs (other than recompletion costs) incurred in
connection with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling in
excess of 10% of the amount of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership borrowings. If the
Managing Partners determine that funds in addition to the Capital Contributions
to the Production Partnership are required for the payment of Production
Partnership costs (other than Property Acquisition Costs), the Managing Partners
may apply or reserve Income or Investment Income for the payment of such
Production Partnership costs and/or the Managing Partners may cause the
Production Partnership to borrow funds for the payment of Production Partnership
costs incurred in connection with Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling and Improved Recovery operations; provided, however, that the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of such borrowings shall not at any one time exceed
an amount equal to 20% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership.
-30-
<PAGE>
D. Each Managing Partner shall have the authority to secure the payment
of borrowings incurred by it for its own account or for purposes of paying its
allocable share of Production Partnership costs by assigning to lenders all or
part of its Managing Partner's interest in Profits and Distributable Cash, and
by granting such lenders a security interest or mortgage in an undivided
interest in any Production Partnership Property not to exceed its Managing
Partner's percentage interest in Income; provided, however, that the Managing
Partners, in the aggregate, shall retain unencumbered at least a 1% interest in
each of Production Partnership Property, Profits and Distributable Cash.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any
sale or foreclosure of a Managing Partner's interest in full or partial
satisfaction of such borrowings, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and in the method by which Income and costs are
allocated to the Partners to assure that the Limited Partnership and the other
Managing Partner will not bear any of the costs attributable to such sold or
foreclosed interest and that such Managing Partner will not share or participate
in any of the capital, Income, costs or distributions attributable to such sold
or foreclosed interest except to the extent of the unencumbered interest
retained by such Managing Partner.
Section 4.4. Prohibited Transactions
-------------------------------------
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the following transactions are expressly prohibited:
(i) the Production Partnership shall not make any loans to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate;
(ii) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall make any
loans to the Production Partnership except at a rate of interest not in
excess of the interest cost incurred by the Managing Partners or
Affiliates or the amount of interest that would be charged to the
Production Partnership (without regard to the Managing Partner's or
Affiliate's financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on
comparable loans for the same purpose, whichever is lower, and the
Managing Partners and Affiliates shall not receive points or financing
charges or fees regardless of the amount;
-31-
<PAGE>
(iii) except as expressly contemplated hereby, no agent, attorney,
accountant or other independent consultant or contractor who is also
employed on a full-time basis by any Managing Partner or any Affiliate
shall be compensated by the Production Partnership for his or her
services;
(iv)other than those received for the account of the Production
Partnership, no rebates may be received by any Managing Partner or any
Affiliate in connection with Production Partnership operations or
expenditures, nor may any Managing Partner or any Affiliate participate
in any reciprocal business arrangement that would circumvent any of the
provisions of this Agreement;
(v) on a monthly basis, costs paid and revenues received by a
Managing Partner or an Affiliate for the account of the Production
Partnership shall be determined and the net amount resulting from such
monthly settlement shall be deposited into a Production Partnership
Account and no funds which, after such monthly settlement, are
determined to be held for the account of the Production Partnership
shall be kept in any account other than a Production Partnership
Account, and the Managing Partners shall not employ, or permit any other
Person to employ, such funds in any manner except for the benefit of the
Production Partnership; it being understood that the Managing Partners
may invest Production Partnership funds temporarily in the investments
set forth in Section 9.3 of this Agreement pending their use by the
Production Partnership. After such monthly settlement, Production
Partnership funds may not be commingled with separate funds of either
Managing Partner or any other entity; and
(vi) the Limited Partnership shall not make any advance payment to
the Managing Partners or their Affiliates, except where necessary to
secure tax benefits of prepaid drilling costs.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
without the prior Consent of the Limited Partnership granted pursuant to the
provisions of Article Eleven of this Agreement and the provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Managing Partners shall not:
-32-
<PAGE>
(i) lease, sell, or dispose of all or substantially all of the
Production Partnership's assets;
(ii) make, exercise or deliver any general assignment for the
benefit of the Production Partnership's creditors;
(iii) except as set forth in Section l0.1A, amend any provision of
this Agreement; or
(iv) dissolve the Production Partnership.
Section 4.5. Other Agreements of the Managing Partners
-------------------------------------------------------
A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
agreed that:
(i) the Managing Partners and their Affiliates shall not take any
action with respect to the assets or property of the Production
Partnership which does not benefit exclusively the Production Partnership,
including:
(a) the utilization of Production Partnership funds as
compensating balances for the benefit of the Managing Partners or an
Affiliate of a Managing Partner; and
(b) the commitment of future production;
(ii) all benefits from marketing arrangements or other
relationships affecting property of any Managing Partner or its Affiliate
and the Production Partnership shall be fairly and equitably apportioned
according to the respective interests of each;
(iii) the Managing Partners may never profit themselves nor any
Affiliate by Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations in contravention of their fiduciary
obligation to the Limited Partnership; and
(iv) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall render
to the Production Partnership any oil field, equipage or drilling services
nor sell or lease to the Production Partnership any equipment or related
supplies unless:
-33-
<PAGE>
(a) such Person is engaged, independently of the Production
Partnership and as an ordinary and ongoing business, in the business
of rendering such services or selling or leasing such equipment and
supplies to a substantial extent to other Persons in the oil and gas
industry in addition to drilling and income programs in which such
Person has an interest;
(b) the compensation, price or rental therefor is competitive
with the compensation, price or rental of other Persons in the area
engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or selling
or leasing comparable equipment and supplies which could reasonably
be made available to the Production Partnership;
(c) the drilling services are billed on either a per foot, per
day or per hour rate, or some combination thereof; and
(d) provided that, if such Person is not engaged in a business
within the meaning of subdivision (a), then such compensation, price
or rental shall be the cost of such services, equipment or supplies
to such Person or the competitive rate which could be obtained in
the area, whichever is less.
Section 4.6. Construction of Gas Gathering Lines
-------------------------------------------------
The Managing Partners may cause the Production Partnership to construct
gas gathering lines if, in the opinion of the Managing Partners, it would be
economically feasible and otherwise consistent with prudent operating practice
to do so. The costs of any such gathering lines will be deemed to be Operating
Costs and shall be charged to the accounts of the Partners as such. The Managing
Partners may, in their discretion, construct, or cause an Affiliate of a
Managing Partner or other person to construct, gathering lines from Production
Partnership Wells to gas transmission systems. Whenever the Managing Partners
construct, or cause an Affiliate of a Managing Partner to construct, a gathering
line from a Production Partnership Well to a gas transmission system, the
Production Partnership shall pay the Managing Partners or such Affiliate an
amount that is not greater than the compensation that an unrelated party could
have reasonably charged in an
-34-
<PAGE>
arm's-length transaction for similar services in the area as a transmission fee
for the transmission of all gas through the gathering system so constructed, and
no other transmission fee shall be paid to the Managing Partners or to any
Affiliate.
Section 4.7. Contracts with the Managing Partners and Affiliates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All services provided to the Production Partnership by a Managing Partner
or any Affiliate for which it is compensated shall be embodied in a written
contract precisely setting forth the services to be rendered and the
compensation to be paid. Each contract relating to a transaction between the
Production Partnership and any Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall contain a
provision which shall permit termination of the contract by the Production
Partnership without penalty on 30 days' prior written notice. The Limited
Partnership shall have the power to terminate, without cause or penalty, any
such contract on behalf of the Production Partnership.
Section 4.8. Farmouts
----------------------
The Management Committee may dispose of Producing Properties by Sale or
Farmout when the Management Committee, exercising the standard of a prudent
operator, determines that (a) the Production Partnership lacks sufficient funds
to conduct Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or Improved
Recovery operations on the properties and cannot obtain suitable alternative
financing for such Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations; (b) the properties have been downgraded by events
occurring after assignment to the Production Partnership to the point that
additional Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling, Improved
Recovery operations or continued production would no longer be desirable to the
Production Partnership; (c) Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on the properties would result in an
excessive concentration of Production Partnership funds on a Producing Property
creating, in the opinion of the Management Committee, undue risk to the
Production Partnership; or (d) the best interests of the Production Partnership
would be served by the Sale or Farmout. The Production Partnership shall not
conduct any drilling of wells other than Development Drilling and Identified
Development Drilling; provided, however, that the
-35-
<PAGE>
drilling of wells other than Development Drilling and Identified Development
Drilling may be performed on behalf of the Production Partnership pursuant to
Farmouts. Neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall enter into any
Farmout or other agreement with the Production Partnership where in
consideration for services to be rendered, an interest in production is payable
to the Managing Partners or any Affiliate, unless the Production Partnership has
previously expended or committed to expend the maximum amount that is authorized
to use for Development Drilling or Identified Development Drilling. Any Sale,
Farmout or similar agreement between the Production Partnership and a Managing
Partner, Affiliate or Affiliated Program will be permitted under the
restrictions set forth in this Article Four and will be subject to the following
conditions:
(i) the Management Committee (or a Managing Partner, if
management authority of the Production Partnership with respect thereto
has been delegated to it by the Management Committee) exercising the
standard of a prudent operator, shall determine that the Sale, Farmout or
similar agreement is in the best interests of the Production Partnership;
and
(ii) the terms of the Sale, Farmout or similar agreement are
consistent with and in any case no less favorable than those utilized in
the same geographic area for similar arrangements.
Section 4.9. Other Operations
------------------------------
The Managing Partners and the Management Committee shall devote such time
to the Production Partnership as is reasonably required to carry on the
Production Partnership business, and the Managing Partners, members of the
Management Committee and their Affiliates shall at all times be free, subject to
any restrictions contained herein, to engage in all aspects of the Hydrocarbons
and natural resources business for their own accounts and for the accounts of
others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing Partners
and their Affiliates shall have the right to organize and operate other
partnerships, joint ventures or other oil and gas investment programs similar to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership.
-36-
<PAGE>
Section 4.10. Prosecution, Defense and Settlement of Claims;
Indemnification
-------------------------------------------------------------
A. The Managing Partners shall arrange to prosecute, defend, settle or
compromise actions at law or in equity at the expense of the Production
Partnership as may be necessary to enforce or protect the interests of the
Production Partnership. The Managing Partners shall satisfy any judgment,
decree, decision or settlement, first, out of any insurance proceeds available
therefor, next, out of the Production Partnership assets and Income, and,
finally, out of the assets of the Managing Partners and the general partners of
the Limited Partnership.
B. In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to
which the Managing Partners are a party or are threatened to be made a party by
reason of the fact that they are the Managing Partners of the Production
Partnership (other than an action by or in the right of the Production
Partnership) involving an alleged cause of action for damages arising from the
performance of their duties under this Agreement or other activities relative to
the management and disposition of Producing Properties or production from such
properties, the Production Partnership shall indemnify the Managing Partners
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Production Partnership,
and provided that their conduct does not constitute negligence or misconduct.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement shall not of itself create a presumption that the Managing Partners
did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the Production Partnership.
C. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Production Partnership, to which the Managing Partners are a party
or are threatened to be made a party, involving an alleged cause of action by
the Limited Partnership for damages arising from the activities of the Managing
Partners in the management of the internal affairs of the Production Partnership
as prescribed in this Agreement or by law, or both, the Production Partnership
shall indemnify the
-37-
<PAGE>
Managing Partners against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Production Partnership as specified
in this subsection, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which the Managing Partners' course of conduct
constituted negligence or misconduct.
D. To the extent that a Managing Partner has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Production Partnership shall indemnify it against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by it in
connection therewith.
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.l0B and 4.10C of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Production Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because the indemnified party has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement.
F. The Production Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of
insurance which insures the Managing Partners for any liability as to which the
Managing Partners are prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.
ARTICLE FIVE
Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Production Partnership Funds
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Distributable Cash of the Production Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously to the Limited Partnership and the Managing Partners within 45
days after the close of each calendar quarter. Each Partner's share of each such
distribution of Distributable Cash shall be determined after giving effect to
the allocations set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement for such
period. All distributions of
-38-
<PAGE>
Distributable Cash shall reduce dollar-for-dollar the balances of the Partners'
Capital Accounts.
Section 5.2. Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses to the Managing Partners
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geodyne Production and PW Production shall receive as Managing Partners
(1) on a nonrecurring basis, the Management Fee in an amount equal to 1-1/2% of
the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership; and (2)
reimbursement for Direct Administrative Costs billed directly to the Managing
Partners and General and Administrative Costs incurred by the Managing Partners
or their Affiliates allocable to the Production Partnership, except to the
extent that the Managing Partners or their Affiliates are otherwise reimbursed
for such costs through the payment of Property Acquisition Costs, Operating
Costs or otherwise. Geodyne Production and PW Production shall allocate between
themselves the payment of the Management Fee as follows: in the event the Fee
(as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) (hereinafter referred to as
the "Limited Partnership Fee") is less than the actual organization and offering
costs of the Limited Partnership plus Unreimbursed Prior Organization and
Offering Costs (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement), then the
Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production
to the extent of such deficiency, 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne
Production to the extent of organization and offering costs and the remainder of
the Management Fee shall be paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne
Production. In the event the Limited Partnership Fee is equal to or greater than
the actual organization and offering costs of the Limited Partnership plus
Unreimbursed Prior Organization and Offering Costs (as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement), then the Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW
Production and 40% to Geodyne Production to the extent of organization and
offering costs and the remainder shall be paid as follows: in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(i) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has
been made (but the payments in Section 3.6B(ii) and (iii) have not been made) to
the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the Management Fee shall be
paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne Production; in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has
been made (but the payment in Section 3.6B(iii) has not been made) to the
general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of the Management Fee
over the
-39-
<PAGE>
amount paid to the general partners of the Limited Partnership pursuant to
Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement shall be paid 75% to PW
Production and 25% to Geodyne Production, the balance of the Management Fee, but
not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and 50% to Geodyne
Production, and any remaining balance of the Management Fee shall be paid 70% to
PW Production and 30% to Geodyne Production; and in the event the payment
referred to in Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has been
made to the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of the
Management Fee over the amount paid to the general partners of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
but not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and 50% to Geodyne
Production, and the balance of the Management Fee shall be paid 70% to PW
Production and 30% to Geodyne Production.
Section 5.3. Allocation of Income, Investment Income, Costs and
Deductions
----------------------------------------------------------------
A. The Income, Investment Income, Profits, Production Partnership costs
and losses of the Production Partnership shall be determined and allocated with
respect to each Fiscal Year of the Production Partnership as of and within 75
days after the end of such Fiscal Year.
B. (i) 100% of Investment Income, Property Acquisition Costs, costs
incurred in connection with Identified Development Drilling (including any
interest, commitment fees and other finance charges with respect to
borrowings incurred in connection therewith) and the Management Fee
referred to in Section 5.2(1) of this Agreement shall all be allocated to,
and borne by, the Limited Partnership. 100% of Organization and Offering
Costs shall be allocated to, and borne by, the Managing Partners as
follows: 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5.3B(ii) and 5.3B(iii), Income, General and
Administrative Costs, Operating Costs, costs incurred in connection with
Development Drilling and Direct Administrative Costs shall be allocated
among, and borne by, the Partners in the following percentages:
-40-
<PAGE>
(a) Until Payout:
Limited Partnership 90.9091%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 9.0909%
(b) After Payout:
Limited Partnership 85.8586%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 14.1414%
The Managing Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest before and after Payout as follows: 70% to PW Production and 30%
to Geodyne Production if the Production Partnership is Activated within
twelve months after the date on which the registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Units is
declared effective (the "Effective Date"), and 60% to PW Production and
40% to Geodyne Production if the Production Partnership is Activated
during the twelve month period ending twenty-four months after the
Effective Date; provided, however, that if the Production Partnership was
Activated more than twelve months after the Effective Date and the
immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership was activated (as
defined in the partnership agreement respecting such Prior Production
Partnership) within twelve months after the Effective Date, then PW
Production shall be allocated that percentage of the aggregate Managing
Partners' Interest represented by a fraction, the numerator of which is
equal to the sum of (i) 70 multiplied by the number of days from the
activation of the immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership
through the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date, and (ii) 60
multiplied by the number of days from the date that is 12 months after the
Effective Date through the date of the Activation of the Production
Partnership, and the denominator of which is the total number of days that
has elapsed from the activation of the immediately preceding Prior
Production Partnership to the Activation of the Production Partnership,
and Geodyne Production shall be allocated the balance of the aggregate
Managing Partners' Interest (such allocation between the Managing Partners
of their aggregate Interest being their "Sharing Ratios"). The Managing
Partners shall have the authority to amend this Agreement to provide for
-41-
<PAGE>
any different allocation between themselves at their discretion.
(ii) As used in this subsection, the "Measuring Date" shall be the
earlier of the date on which 90% of the Limited Partnership's Capital
Contribution has been expended or the second anniversary of the Activation
of the Production Partnership; the first "Allocation Period" shall be the
twelve month period beginning on the last day of the first full Fiscal
Year quarter after the Measuring Date; and each twelve month period
following the end of the first Allocation Period shall also be referred to
as an "Allocation Period". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if during each of the first two Allocation Periods the
amount of cash distributed to the Limited Partnership that is attributable
to the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) is less than a 15.1515%
cumulative (but not compounded) twelve-month return on the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership, then there
shall be distributed to the Limited Partnership thereafter (in addition to
the amount of Distributable Cash distributed to the Limited Partnership
resulting from the allocations to the Limited Partnership set forth in
Section 5.3B(i)) an amount of cash up to 50% of the cash otherwise
distributable to the Managing Partners thereafter pursuant to the
allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) not to exceed the amount of any
such deficiency (the amount of such cash distribution being a "Transfer
Amount"), and Income and costs sufficient to yield an amount of
Distributable Cash equal to the Transfer Amount and otherwise allocable to
the Managing Partners during the Fiscal Year in which such Allocation
Period ends and, to the extent necessary, each Fiscal Year thereafter
pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall be allocated to the Limited Partnership.
If during any Allocation Period after the initial two Allocation Periods,
the Limited Partnership is being allocated Income and costs pursuant to
Section 5.3B(i) such that there is distributed to the Limited Partnership
an amount of cash in excess of a 15.1515% cumulative (but not compounded)
twelve-month return on the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership since the beginning of the first two Allocation
Periods (such excess amount of cash being the "Surplus"), and there has
been distributed to the Limited Partnership a Transfer Amount, then there
shall be distributed to the Managing Partners thereafter an aggregate
amount of cash otherwise distributable to the Limited Partnership pursuant
-42-
<PAGE>
to the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) equal to the amount of any
Surplus (the amount of such cash distribution being a "Reverse Transfer
Amount"), and Income and costs sufficient to yield an amount of
Distributable Cash equal to the Reverse Transfer Amount and otherwise
allocable to the Limited Partnership during the Fiscal Year in which such
Allocation Period ends and, to the extent necessary, each Fiscal Year
thereafter pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall be allocated to the Managing
Partners; provided, however, that the amount of any Reverse Transfer
Amount distributed to the Managing Partners shall not exceed an amount
equal to the aggregate of the Transfer Amounts distributed to the Limited
Partnership less the aggregate of all Reverse Transfer Amounts previously
distributed to the Managing Partners.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
on the seventh anniversary of the last day of the Fiscal Year in which the
Production Partnership commences Development Drilling, or Identified
Development Drilling, and in each Fiscal Year thereafter, (a) the
aggregate amount of Income less the aggregate amount of direct lease
operating expenses and severance, ad valorem, windfall profits, excise and
other taxes (but not income taxes) allocated to the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) attributable to production resulting from
Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties is less than (b) the aggregate amount of costs allocated to the
Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) incurred in connection
with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties during each Fiscal Year ending seven or more years prior
thereto, then Income and costs otherwise allocable to the Managing
Partners pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall thereafter be allocated to the
Limited Partnership until such deficiency in Income is eliminated.
(iv) For purposes of the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(ii)
of this Agreement, the amount of cash distributed to the Limited
Partnership for purposes of determining the return on the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership shall not
include any amounts attributable to the Production Partnership's payment
of any windfall profits tax.

C. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of any such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that the Income from the
Producing Property is allocated; and the Production Partnership shall allocate,
under Section 612A(c)(7)(D) of the Code, its adjusted basis in each Producing
Property to the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Production
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property. If such allocation
of basis is not permitted under the Code, the basis of each such property shall
be allocated in the manner which the Managing Partners deem will most closely
achieve the result intended above.
D. Capital Accounts shall be established and maintained for each Partner
in accordance with tax accounting principles and with valid regulations issued
by the U.S. Treasury Department under subsection 704(b) of the Code (the "704
Regulations"). To the extent that tax accounting principles and the 704
Regulations may conflict, the latter shall control. In connection with the
establishment and maintenance of such Capital Accounts, the following provisions
shall apply:
(1) Each Partner's Capital Account shall be (i) increased by the
amount of its Capital Contribution, the fair market value of property
contributed by it to the Production Partnership (net of liabilities
securing such contributed property that the Production Partnership is
considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code) and
allocations to it of Income and gain (except to the extent such Income or
gain has previously been reflected in its Capital Account by adjustments
thereto) and (ii) decreased by the amount of Distributable Cash
distributed to it, the fair market value of property distributed to it by
the Production Partnership (net of liabilities securing such distributed
property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to
under section 752 of the Code) and allocations to it of Production
Partnership loss, deduction (except to the extent such loss or deduction
has previously been reflected
-44-
<PAGE>
in its Capital Account by adjustments thereto) and expenditures described
in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code.
(ii) In the event Production Partnership Property is distributed to
a Partner, then, before the Capital Account of such Partner is adjusted as
required by clause (i) of this Section 5.3D, the Capital Accounts of the
Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized
Income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such Production Partnership
Property (that has not been reflected in such Capital Accounts previously)
would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition
of such Production Partnership Property for its fair market value on the
date of distribution.
(iii) If, pursuant to this Agreement, Production Partnership
Property is reflected on the books of the Production Partnership at a book
value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such Production
Partnership Property, then the Partners' Capital Accounts shall be
adjusted in accordance with the 704 Regulations for allocations to the
Partners of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as
computed for book purposes, with respect to such Production Partnership
Property.
(iv) The Partner's Capital Accounts shall be adjusted for depletion
and gain or loss with respect to the Production Partnership's oil or gas
properties in whichever of the following manners the Managing Partners
determine is in the best interests of the Partners:
(a) The Partners' Capital Accounts shall be reduced by a
simulated depletion allowance computed on each oil or gas property
using either the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to the limitations under the Code which could
apply to less than all Partners); provided, however, that the choice
between the cost depletion method and the percentage depletion
method shall be made on a property-by-property basis and such
choices shall be binding for all Production Partnership taxable
years during which such oil or gas property is held by the
Production Partnership. Such reductions for depletion shall be
allocated among the Partners' Capital Accounts in the same
proportions as the adjusted basis in the particular property is
-45-
<PAGE>
allocated to each Partner. Upon the taxable disposition of an oil or
gas property by the Production Partnership, the Production
Partnership's simulated gain or loss shall be determined by
subtracting its simulated adjusted basis (aggregate adjusted tax
basis of the Partners less simulated depletion allowances) in such
property from the amount realized on such disposition and the
Partners' Capital Accounts shall be increased or reduced, as the
case may be, by the amount of the simulated gain or loss on such
disposition in proportion to the Partners' allocable shares of the
total amount realized on such disposition, or
(b) The Production Partnership shall reduce the Capital
Account of each Partner in an amount equal to such Partner's
depletion allowance with respect to each oil or gas property of the
Production Partnership (for the Partner's taxable year that ends
within the Production Partnership's taxable year), but such
reductions for depletion shall not exceed the adjusted basis
allocated to such Partner with respect to such property. Upon the
taxable disposition of an oil or gas property by the Production
Partnership, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be reduced or
increased, as the case may be, by the amount of the difference
between such Partner's allocable share of the total amount realized
on such disposition and such Partner's remaining adjusted tax basis
in such property.
(v) For purposes of determining the Capital Account balance of any
Partner as of the end of any Production Partnership taxable year for
purposes of Subsection 5.3I hereto, such Partner's Capital Account shall
be reduced by:
(a) Adjustments that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner's Capital Account pursuant
to paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(k) of the 704 Regulations for depletion
allowances with respect to oil and gas properties of the Production
Partnership, and
-46-
<PAGE>
(b) Distributions that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner pursuant to Code section
704(e)(2), Code section 706(d), and paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of section
1.751-1 of regulations promulgated under the Code, and
(c) Distributions that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner to the extent they exceed
offsetting increases to such Partner's Capital Account that
reasonably are expected to occur during (or prior to) the Production
Partnership taxable years in which such distributions are expected
to be made.
E. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense of the Production Partnership shall be credited with any portion of that
expense which is finally determined, judicially or administratively, to be
nondeductible for Federal income tax purposes, less any amortization or
depreciation thereof incurred prior to the date that the credit is made.
F. In allocating Income and costs for any Fiscal Year in which the ratio
for sharing Income and costs changes pursuant to Section 5.3B(i), the
allocations of Income and costs shall be made, and the books of the Production
Partnership shall be closed, as soon as practicable after the date Payout
occurs, to determine each Partner's share of pre-change Income and costs and
each Partner's share of post-change Income and costs for that Fiscal Year.
G. Proceeds received from the Sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Production Partnership's Producing Properties shall be allocated to the Limited
Partnership and the Managing Partners to the extent of their adjusted basis in
such sold or transferred Production Partnership Property. Proceeds in excess of
said amount shall be allocated in accordance with the percentages set forth in
Section 5.3B(i) , except that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3F
and solely for purposes of this Section 5.3G, where the proceeds from such Sale
are distributed to the Partners and a portion of the Distributable Cash
attributable to such Sale proceeds is sufficient in amount to cause Payout to
occur in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect until Payout,
Payout shall be deemed to occur such that Income and Distributable Cash
attributable to the portion of such Sale proceeds in excess of
-47-
<PAGE>
the portion of Sales proceeds sufficient in amount to cause Payout to occur
shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect after
Payout.
H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, under any
provision of this Agreement, the Capital Account of any Partner is adjusted to
reflect the difference between the basis to the Production Partnership of
Production Partnership Property and such Production Partnership Property's fair
market value, then all items of Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect
to such Production Partnership Property shall be allocated among the Partners so
as to take account of the variation between the basis of such Production
Partnership Property and its fair market value at the time of the adjustment to
such Partner's Capital Account in accordance with the requirements of subsection
704(c) of the Code, or in the same manner as provided under subsection 704(c) of
the Code.
I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein,
(a) There shall be allocated to the Managing Partners, pro rata, any
item of loss, deduction, credit or allowance that, but for this Section
5.3I, would have been allocated to the other General Partner that is not
obligated to restore any deficit balance in such Partner's Capital Account
and would have thereupon caused or increased a deficit balance in such
Partner's Capital Account as of the end of the Production Partnership's
taxable year to which such allocation related (after taking into
consideration the provisions of Subsection 5.3D(v) hereof);
(b) Any General Partner that is not obligated to restore any deficit
balance in such Partner's Capital Account who unexpectedly receives an
adjustment, allocation or distribution specified in Subsection 5.3D(v)
hereof shall be allocated items of Income and gain in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible; and
(c) In the event any allocations of loss, deduction, credit or
allowance are made to the Managing Partners pursuant to clause (a) of this
Subsection 5.3I, the Managing Partners shall be subsequently allocated all
items of Income and gain until the aggregate amount of such allocations of
Income and gain is equal to the aggregate
-48-
<PAGE>
amount of any such allocations of loss, deduction, credit or allowance
allocated to such Partners pursuant to clause (a) of this Subsection 5.3I.
Section 5.4. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions
-------------------------------------------------------------
Distributable Cash, Income, Investment Income, costs, deductions, Profits
and Losses allocable to the Partners shall be distributed or allocated, as the
case may be, to the Persons who were Partners, as of the last day of the fiscal
period for which the distribution or allocation is to be made, except that in
any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or transfers all or any part
of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during the fiscal period is
admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash, Income, Investment
Income, costs, deductions, Profits and Losses attributable to the Interest so
sold, assigned or transferred shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2
of this Agreement, be allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the
basis of the number of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on
and after the admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided,
however, that the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing
Property shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners on the day the
distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The Managing Partners shall
inform the other Partners of the occurrence and terms of any such Sale by the
Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale has been
consummated.

Section 6.1. Transferability of Managing Partner's Interest
------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as provided in Sections 6.lB and 6.2B, each of the Managing
Partners shall not have the right to retire, withdraw, transfer or assign its
Managing Partner Interest, except that there may be substituted in its stead as
Managing Partner any entity that has, by merger, consolidation or otherwise,
acquired substantially all of its assets or capital stock and continued its
business.
-49-
<PAGE>
B. Each Managing Partner may, upon at least ninety days' written notice
to the Limited Partnership and the other Managing Partner, cause the Production
Partnership to distribute, in partial liquidation of its Interest in the
Production Partnership, to such Managing Partner fractional, undivided interests
in the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership (such interest of a
Managing Partner in a Producing Property distributed is hereinafter referred to
as the "Distributed Interest") up to an aggregate interest equal in value to 75%
of the value of the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership that it
would have been entitled to upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Production
Partnership after application of the provisions of Section 8.2 of this Agreement
(the interest in a Producing Property of a Managing Partner retained in the
Production Partnership is hereinafter referred to as the "Retained Interest")
provided, however, that no such distribution shall occur (i) more than once with
respect to a Managing Partner, (ii) prior to seven years after the Activation of
the Production Partnership and (iii) unless such Managing Partner obtains an
opinion of counsel to the Production Partnership to the effect that such
distribution will not result in any material adverse tax consequence to the
other Managing Partner or to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any such distribution is made,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Capital Accounts of the Partners
and in the allocation of Production Partnership Income and costs to assure that
the other Managing Partner will not share or participate in any of the capital,
costs, Income, or distributions attributable to the Producing Properties of the
Production Partnership except to the extent of the Retained Interest of such
Managing Partner.
Section 6.2. Removal of Managing Partners
------------------------------------------
A. (i) The power shall be vested in the Limited Partnership to remove
at any time any Managing Partner. The power shall be vested in the
Limited Partnership to consent to the admission of a successor
Managing Partner following the Removal of any Managing Partner by
the Limited Partnership. A successor Managing Partner shall be
selected pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2D of this
Agreement.
-50-
<PAGE>
(ii) (a) A Managing Partner shall have the power to Remove the
other Managing Partner, and pursuant to Section l0.lA of this
Agreement, admit a successor Managing Partner, for "Cause" as
defined in Section 6.2A(ii)(b), but for no other reason.
(b) "Cause" for purposes of Section 6.2A(ii)(a) shall be
deemed to exist only (i) when a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a final determination (which determination is not
successfully appealed) that a Managing Partner has been guilty of
gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or similar breach of
fiduciary responsibility in carrying out its duties as a Managing
Partner, or (ii) a Managing Partner is dissolved or liquidated on
account of insolvency or any other event occurs resulting in the
appointment of a trustee or receiver who acquires control of the
affairs of such Managing Partner for the purpose of dissolution or
liquidation on account of insolvency, and such trustee or receiver
is not dismissed within 90 days after appointment of such trustee or
receiver, or (iii) (a) a report on the audited financial statements
of a Managing Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates is
issued by the independent accountants for such Managing Partner that
is qualified on a going concern basis, or (b) either Managing
Partner requests an audit to be performed of the other Managing
Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates by the independent
accountants for the other Managing Partner (the expense of such
audit being paid by the Managing Partner requesting the audit) , and
such audit results in the issuance of an opinion with respect to the
financial statements of the other Managing Partner and its
consolidated corporate affiliates for the period ending, and as of,
the most recent date feasible, that is qualified on a going concern
basis.
B. (i) In the event that a Managing Partner is Removed, the Removed
Managing Partner's Interest in the Production Partnership shall be
transferred to the other Managing Partner, and the other Managing
Partner shall assign to the Removed Managing Partner a portion of
Production Partnership Income, costs and Distributable Cash as and
when such items are allocated or distributed, as the case may be, by
the
-51-
<PAGE>
Production Partnership equal to the percentage interest of the
Removed Managing Partner in the Production Partnership prior to its
Removal; provided, however, that such assignment shall be reduced
proportionately in the event of a foreclosure or sale referred to in
Section 4.3D with respect to the Removed Managing Partner's interest
transferred to the other Managing Partner to the extent of the
foreclosed or sold interest.
(ii) If a sole Managing Partner is Removed and a successor Managing
Partner is to be admitted to the Production Partnership, the removed
Managing Partner shall not be Removed until a successor Managing
Partner has been admitted to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Article 10 of this Agreement.
(iii) In the event a sole Managing Partner is Removed by the Limited
Partnership and a successor Managing Partner is to be admitted, the
incoming Managing Partner and the Removed Managing Partner shall, by
mutual agreement, select an independent petroleum consultant to
value the Removed Managing Partner's Interest in the Production
Partnership. In determining the value of the Managing Partner's
Interest, the independent consultant will take into account
appropriate discount factors in light of the risk of recovery of oil
and gas reserves, and, in any event, will utilize a "risk factor"
discount no less than that utilized in the most recent offer
extended pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement, if any. The incoming Managing Partner, or the Production
Partnership, shall have the option to purchase at least 20% of the
Interest of the Removed Managing Partner for the value determined by
the independent appraisal. The Removed Managing Partner's Interest
in the Production Partnership shall be transferred to the successor
Managing Partner, and the successor Managing Partner shall assign to
the Removed Managing Partner a portion of Production Partnership
Income, costs and Distributable Cash as and when such items are
allocated or distributed, as the case may be, by the Production
Partnership equal to the percentage interest of the Removed Managing
Partner in the Production Partnership prior to Removal, less the
portion purchased by the successor Managing Partner or the
Production Partnership.

C. Notwithstanding Section 3.6, any Managing Partner who shall be Removed
pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 shall be released by the other
Partners from all liability for Production Partnership debts and obligations
incurred by the Production Partnership prior to the date of such Removal.
D. Under circumstances in which the Limited Partnership Consents to the
admission of a successor Managing Partner, such admission shall not become
effective unless the Production Partnership shall have received a certificate,
duly executed by or on behalf of such proposed successor Managing Partner to the
effect that it is experienced in the performance (or employs sufficient
personnel who are experienced in performing) of functions of the type then being
performed by the Removed Managing Partner.

---------------------------------------------------------------
No Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment of the Limited Partnership's
Interest may be made if in the opinion of counsel to the Production Partnership,
such Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment, would (i) result in the Production
Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section
708 of the Code, or (ii) cause the Production Partnership to lose its status as
a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Managing
Partners may require an opinion of the transferor's counsel, satisfactory to the

dated Notification of such sale, assignment or transfer, executed and
acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser,
assignee or transferee and such Notification (i) contains the acceptance by the
purchaser, assignee or transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and (ii) represents that such sale, assignment or transfer was made in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Any sale, assignment or
transfer shall be recognized by the Production Partnership as effective on the
date of such Notification if the date of such Notification is within 30 days of
the date on which such Notification is filed with the Production Partnership,
and otherwise shall be recognized as effective on the date such Notification is

the Limited Partnership shall cease to be a Partner.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited Partnership shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article

B. Dissolution of the Production Partnership shall be effective on the day
on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Production
Partnership shall not terminate until the Managing Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Production Partnership in the proper records of any
jurisdiction in which this Agreement has been recorded and shall have complied
with the laws of the states in which its does business and the assets of the
Production Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Production Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a general partnership following dissolution of the
Production Partnership either under
-56-
<PAGE>
provisions identical to those set forth herein or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Production Partnership, its liabilities shall
be paid in the order provided herein. The Managing Partners shall either
distribute in kind or sell the Production Partnership's property so that such
disposition is in the best interests of the Limited Partnership, and shall
execute all amendments terminating the Production Partnership. In connection
with any such Sale, the Managing Partners shall attempt to obtain the best
prices for such property. Pending such Sales, the Managing Partners shall have
the right to continue to operate and otherwise to deal with Production
Partnership property. In the event the Production Partnership is dissolved on
account of the Incapacity or Removal of the sole Managing Partner, the
Production Partnership shall elect, in accordance with the provisions of Article
Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating Agent") to perform the function of a Managing
Partner in liquidating the assets of the Production Partnership and winding up
its affairs, and shall pay to such Liquidating Agent its reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection therewith. Gain or loss realized on the Sale or
other disposition of the Production Partnership's assets will be credited to (in
the case of gain) or charged against (in the case of loss) each Partner's
Capital Account to the extent allocable to it under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this
Agreement. In the event of a distribution in kind of (a) any property other than
an interest in a Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall be
debited with the portion of the Production Partnership's adjusted basis thereof
attributable to the interest therein distributed to it and (b) any Producing
Property or an interest in any Producing Property, each Partner's Capital
Account shall first be credited or debited with its share of the unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of said Producing Property
or interest in said Producing Property. Each Partner's share of said unrealized
appreciation or depreciation shall be equivalent to its share (allocated
pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement) of the gain or loss on an
actual Sale of such Producing Property or interest therein. The Capital Account
of each Partner to whom a Producing Property or an interest in a Producing
Property is distributed shall be debited with the fair market value of the
Producing Property distributed to it. Any liquidation of the Production
Partnership shall take place out
-57-
<PAGE>
of court and without application being made therefor to the Secretary of State
of the State of Oklahoma.
B. In settling accounts after dissolution, the assets of the Production
Partnership shall be paid out in the following order: (i) to third party
creditors, in the order or priority as provided by law; (ii) to the Managing
Partners and any Liquidating Agent for any expenses of the Production
Partnership paid by or payable to them to the extent they are entitled to
reimbursement therefor pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) to the Limited
Partnership in the amount equivalent to the amount of its positive Capital
Account balances (as adjusted pursuant to Section 8.2A) on the date of
distribution; (iv) to the Managing Partners in the amount equivalent to the
amount of their positive Capital Account balances (as adjusted pursuant to
Section 8.2A) on the date of distribution; and (v) the balance shall be paid to
the Partners in the manner provided for by Sections 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 of this
Agreement with respect to Distributable Cash.
C. If any Managing Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account
following the distribution(s) provided for in Section 8.2B above, as determined
after taking into account all adjustments to its Capital Account for the taxable
year of the Production Partnership during which such distribution(s) occur, it
shall restore the amount of such deficit balance to the Production Partnership
within 90 days and such account shall be distributed to the other Parties in
accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.
D. Upon the liquidation or partial liquidation of any Managing Partner's
Interest pursuant to Article 6 hereof, distribution to the Managing Partner
whose Interest is being liquidated shall be made pro rata to such Partner in
accordance with and to the extent of such Partner's positive Capital Account
balance after the Partners' Capital Accounts are adjusted as if all of the
Production Partnership's property had been sold at its fair market value
immediately prior to such distribution and the gain or loss realized on such
sale charged or credited to the Partners' Capital Accounts in accordance with
the provisions of Article 5 hereof, provided, however, that if such Partner has
a deficit balance in its Capital Account following such distribution (or
adjustment of such Partner's Capital Account pursuant to this Section 8.2D),
such Partner shall restore the amount of such deficit balance to the Production
Partnership by the later of the end of the Production Partnership taxable year
in which the liquidation of such Partner's Interest occurs or 90 days after the
date of such liquidation.

<PAGE>
quantities of Hydrocarbons which can be expected, with little doubt, to be
recoverable commercially at current prices and costs, under existing regulatory
practices and with existing conventional equipment and operating methods.
Depending upon their status of development, such proved reserves shall be
subdivided into the following classifications and have the following
definitions:
(a) "Proved Developed Reserves" shall mean proved reserves which
can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing
equipment and operating methods. This classification shall include:
(1) "Proved Developed Producing Reserves" which are proved
developed reserves which are expected to be produced from existing
wells; and
(2) "Proved Developed Nonproducing Reserves" which are
proved developed reserves which exist behind the casing of
existing wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of
such wells, which are expected to be produced through these wells
in the predictable future, where the cost of making Hydrocarbons
available for production should be relatively small compared to
the cost of a new well.
Additional Hydrocarbons expected to be obtained through the
application of improved recovery techniques are included as "Proved
Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
responses that increased recovery will be achieved.
(b) "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" shall mean all reserves which
are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from
existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for
recompletion. Such reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those
drilling units offsetting productive units which are reasonably certain
of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units
are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with reasonable certainty,
based on accepted geological, geophysical and engineering studies and
data, that there is continuity of production from an existing productive
formation. No estimates for Proved Undeveloped Reserves are attributable
to any acreage for which improved recovery is contemplated, unless the
-12-
<PAGE>
techniques to be employed have been proved effective by actual tests in
the same area and reservoir.
"PW Production" shall mean PW Production Inc., a Delaware corporation.
"Remove", "Removed" or "Removal" shall mean, with reference to the

net profits interest, in gross production or the proceeds therefrom which does
not require the owner thereof to bear any of the cost of production,
development, operation or maintenance.
"Sale" shall mean any event or transaction that is, for Federal income
tax purposes, considered a sale, exchange or abandonment by the Production
Partnership of any Production Partnership Property.
"State" shall mean the State of Oklahoma.

deductibles and to cover such risks as the Managing Partners deem
appropriate;
(xxii) pay all ad valorem taxes levied or assessed against the
Production Partnership Properties, all taxes upon or measured by the
production of Hydrocarbons therefrom, and all other taxes (other than
income taxes) directly related to operations conducted by the Production
Partnership;
(xxiii) enter into agreements on behalf of the Production
Partnership with Affiliates subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 4.3B of this Agreement;
(xxiv) sell all or substantially all of the properties and other

Affiliates or any other person and to receive for the Production
Partnership consideration consisting of cash, securities, other property
or any other form of consideration, or any combination thereof, at such
prices and for such forms of consideration as they deem in the best
interests of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that no such sale
shall be consummated without the prior Consent of the Limited Partnership
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4B of this Agreement. In the event
of the dissolution of the Production Partnership followed by any such sale
of the Production Partnership's assets, the Managing Partners shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 of this Agreement, be appointed
the liquidating agents for the Production Partnership;
(xxv) make, exercise or deliver any general assignment for the
benefit of the Production Partnership's creditors, but only upon the prior

<PAGE>
(xxvi) take such other action and perform such other acts as may be
deemed appropriate to carry out the business of the Production
Partnership; and
(xxvii) inform each other Partner of all administrative and judicial
proceedings for an adjustment at the Production Partnership level for
partnership tax items and forward to each other Partner within 30 days of
receipt all notices received from the Internal Revenue Service regarding
the commencement of a partnership level audit or a final partnership
administrative judgment, and Geodyne Production shall perform all duties
imposed by Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code as the "tax matters
partner" of the Production Partnership, including, but not limited to, the
following: (a) the power to conduct all audits and other administrative
proceedings (including windfall profit tax audits) with respect to
Production Partnership items; the power to extend the statute of
limitations for all Partners with respect to Production Partnership tax
items; and (b) the power to file a petition with an appropriate federal
court for review of a final partnership administrative adjustment. Geodyne
Production shall consult with PW Production with respect to the
performance of its duties as "tax matters partner."
B. Reliance by Third Parties on Managing Partners' Authority. No person,
firm or corporation dealing with the Production Partnership shall be required to
inquire into the authority of the Managing Partners to take or refrain from
taking any action or make or refrain from making any decision, but any person so
inquiring shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the Managing Partners
as to their due authorization.
Section 4.3. Sales, Purchases and Operation of Producing Properties;
Additional Financing
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except with respect to Producing Properties whose aggregate purchase
price does not exceed 10% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, no Producing Property shall be acquired by the Production
Partnership unless there has been prepared and evaluated with respect thereto
either an Acquisition Reserve Report or an Engineering Audit Letter acceptable
to the Management Committee;
-26-
<PAGE>
B. Neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall sell, transfer or
convey any or all of their interest in Producing Properties to the Production
Partnership or purchase or acquire any oil and gas properties or interest from
the Production Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to
transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Limited Partnership under the
circumstances at the time such transaction is consummated. Such transactions
shall be further subject to the following restrictions:
(i) Prior to the date on which the Production Partnership has
acquired its final Producing Property, neither the Managing Partners nor
any Affiliate of a Managing Partner (other than an Affiliated Program)
shall acquire any Producing Property after the Activation of the
Production Partnership unless prior thereto the Production Partnership
shall have been offered the right to acquire such Producing Property, or
an interest therein, and the Management Committee shall have determined
that the acquisition of such Producing Property, or an interest therein,
is not in the best interests of the Production Partnership;
(ii) Any purchase or sale of a Producing Property from or to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall be made at the Property
Acquisition Cost for such Producing Property as adjusted for intervening
operations, unless the Managing Partner or such Affiliate has reasonable
grounds to believe that cost is materially more or less than the fair
market value of such property, in which case such sale or purchase shall
be made at a price equal to the fair market value thereof as determined by
an independent petroleum engineer;
(iii) If a Managing Partner sells, transfers or conveys any oil, gas
or other mineral interests or property to the Production Partnership, it
must, at the same time, sell to the Production Partnership an equal
proportionate interest in all its other property in the same Prospect. A
Sale or conveyance to the Production Partnership of less than the entire
ownership interest of a Managing Partner or any Affiliate is only
permitted if: (a) the interests retained or obtained by the Managing
Partners or Affiliate and acquired by the Production Partnership are
either (x) proportionate, uniform and undivided Working Interests if the
Producing Property
-27-
<PAGE>
acquired by the Production Partnership is a Working Interest or (y)
proportionate, uniform and undivided Royalty Interests if the Producing
Property acquired by the Production Partnership is a Royalty, (b) the
respective obligations of the Managing Partners or Affiliate and the
Production Partnership are substantially the same, and (c) the interest of
the Managing Partners or their Affiliates in revenues does not exceed the
amount proportionate to their interest. The Managing Partners and their
Affiliates may not retain or obtain any overrides or other burdens on the
interest obtained by the Production Partnership, and may not enter into
any Farmouts with respect to their retained interest, except to
nonaffiliated third parties or to an Affiliated Program;
(iv) In the event a Managing Partner or any Affiliate proposes to
acquire an interest in a Producing Property in which the Production
Partnership has an interest or in a Producing Property abandoned by the
Production Partnership within one year preceding such proposed
acquisition, such Managing Partner or Affiliate shall offer the interest
to the Production Partnership; and if cash or financing is not available
to the Production Partnership to purchase such interest, neither such
Managing Partner nor Affiliate shall acquire an interest in such Producing
Property. The term "abandon" for the purpose of this subparagraph shall
mean the termination, either voluntary or by operation of the Lease or
otherwise, of all of the Production Partnership's interest in the
Producing Property. This subsection shall not apply after the lapse of
five years of the Activation of the Production Partnership or to any
Affiliated Program where the interest of such Managing Partner is less
than or equal to its interest in the Production Partnership, there are no
duplication of fees to the Managing Partners, and the Managing Partners do
not obtain a greater benefit from purchase of the interest by the
Affiliated Program than they would if the interest were purchased by the
Production Partnership;
(v) During the existence of the Production Partnership and before it
has ceased operations, neither Managing Partner nor any Affiliate
(excluding any Affiliated Program where the interest of such Managing
Partner is less than or equal to its interest in the Production
Partnership) shall acquire, retain or drill for its own account any oil
and gas interest in any Prospect
-28-
<PAGE>
upon which the Production Partnership possesses an interest, except for
transactions which comply with Section 4.3B(iii) or 4.8 of this Agreement.
The geological limits of a Producing Property owned by the Production
Partnership shall be enlarged or contracted on the basis of subsequently
acquired geological data to define the productive limits of a reservoir
and must include all of the acreage determined by the subsequent data to
be encompassed by such reservoir. If the geological limits of a Producing
Property, as so enlarged, encompass any interest held by either a Managing
Partner or an Affiliate of a Managing Partner (excluding an Affiliated
Program where the interest of such Managing Partner is identical to or
less than its interest in the Production Partnership), such interest shall
be sold to the Production Partnership in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.3B(iv) of this Agreement and any net income previously received
by the Managing Partner or Affiliate shall be paid over to the Production
Partnership. If a Managing Partner acquires additional acreage or
interests in a Prospect of the Production Partnership, it must sell such
to the Production Partnership and is prohibited from retaining any such
interest, except as may be permitted by Section 4.3B of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Production Partnership will not be
required to expend additional funds to acquire any such interest unless
funds are available from the Capital Contributions of the Partners;
(vi) Producing Properties may be sold, Farmed-out or otherwise
transferred from or to an Affiliated Program only pursuant to transactions
that (a) comply with Sections 4.3B(iii) and 4.3B(iv) of this Agreement,
and (b) are in exchange for the transferee's obligation to conduct
exploratory drilling, Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on such properties or in
connection with the formation of a joint venture among the Production
Partnership and such Affiliated Program, provided that the compensation
arrangement or any other interest or right of the Managing Partners or any
Affiliate is the same in the Production Partnership and Affiliated
Program, or, if different, the aggregate compensation of the Managing
Partners does not exceed the lower of the compensation they would have
received in the Production Partnership or the Affiliated Program, and the
terms of such Sale, Farmout or transfer comply with the provisions of
Section 4.8 of this Agreement;
-29-
<PAGE>
(vii) Any Sale of inventory or other materials by the Production
Partnership to any Managing Partner or Affiliate shall be made at the
applicable rates set forth in the standard form of the accounting
procedure then recommended by the Council of Petroleum Accountants
Societies of North America;
(viii) Any operating agreements pursuant to which any Managing
Partner or any Affiliate acts as operator of Producing Properties shall be
of a nature customary in the industry and payments to any Managing Partner
or any Affiliate for acting as operator shall not exceed the compensation
which would be paid by unaffiliated third parties in the same geographic
area for similar goods and services. Reimbursement of the Managing
Partner's overhead pursuant to such operating agreement will not be
duplicative of any reimbursement of General and Administrative Costs made
pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement; and
(ix) To the extent a Managing Partner or any Affiliate acquires an
interest in a Producing Property in which the Production Partnership
acquires an interest, such Managing Partner or Affiliate shall pay its
allocable portion of the cost of the preparation of the Acquisition
Reserve Report or Engineering Audit Letter, as the case may be, respecting
such Producing Property.
C. The Managing Partners may not expend any amount of Production
Partnership funds over the term of the Production Partnership for the payment of
Production Partnership costs (other than recompletion costs) incurred in
connection with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling in
excess of 10% of the amount of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership borrowings. If the
Managing Partners determine that funds in addition to the Capital Contributions
to the Production Partnership are required for the payment of Production
Partnership costs (other than Property Acquisition Costs), the Managing Partners
may apply or reserve Income or Investment Income for the payment of such
Production Partnership costs and/or the Managing Partners may cause the
Production Partnership to borrow funds for the payment of Production Partnership
costs incurred in connection with Development
-30-
<PAGE>
Drilling, Identified Development Drilling and Improved Recovery operations;
provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such
borrowings shall not at any one time exceed an amount equal to 20% of the
Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership.
D. Each Managing Partner shall have the authority to secure the payment
of borrowings incurred by it for its own account or for purposes of paying its
allocable share of Production Partnership costs by assigning to lenders all or
part of its Managing Partner's interest in Profits and Distributable Cash, and
by granting such lenders a security interest or mortgage in an undivided
interest in any Production Partnership Property not to exceed its Managing
Partner's percentage interest in Income; provided, however, that the Managing
Partners, in the aggregate, shall retain unencumbered at least a 1% interest in
each of Production Partnership Property, Profits and Distributable Cash.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any
sale or foreclosure of a Managing Partner's interest in full or partial
satisfaction of such borrowings, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and in the method by which Income and costs are
allocated to the Partners to assure that the Limited Partnership and the other
Managing Partner will not bear any of the costs attributable to such sold or
foreclosed interest and that such Managing Partner will not share or participate
in any of the capital, Income, costs or distributions attributable to such sold
or foreclosed interest except to the extent of the unencumbered interest
retained by such Managing Partner.
Section 4.4. Prohibited Transactions
-------------------------------------
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the following transactions are expressly prohibited:
(i) the Production Partnership shall not make any loans to a
Managing Partner or any Affiliate;
(ii) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall make
any loans to the Production Partnership except at a rate of interest not
in excess of the interest cost incurred by the Managing Partners or
Affiliates or the amount of interest that would be charged to the
Production Partnership (without regard to the Managing Partner's or
-31-
<PAGE>
Affiliate's financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated banks on
comparable loans for the same purpose, whichever is lower, and the
Managing Partners and Affiliates shall not receive points or financing
charges or fees regardless of the amount;
(iii) except as expressly contemplated hereby, no agent, attorney,
accountant or other independent consultant or contractor who is also
employed on a full-time basis by any Managing Partner or any Affiliate
shall be compensated by the Production Partnership for his or her
services;
(iv) other than those received for the account of the Production
Partnership, no rebates may be received by any Managing Partner or any
Affiliate in connection with Production Partnership operations or
expenditures, nor may any Managing Partner or any Affiliate participate in
any reciprocal business arrangement that would circumvent any of the
provisions of this Agreement;
(v) on a monthly basis, costs paid and revenues received by a
Managing Partner or an Affiliate for the account of the Production
Partnership shall be determined and the net amount resulting from such
monthly settlement shall be deposited into a Production Partnership
Account and no funds which, after such monthly settlement, are determined
to be held for the account of the Production Partnership shall be kept in
any account other than a Production Partnership Account, and the Managing
Partners shall not employ, or permit any other Person to employ, such
funds in any manner except for the benefit of the Production Partnership;
it being understood that the Managing Partners may invest Production
Partnership funds temporarily in the investments set forth in Section 9.3
of this Agreement pending their use by the Production Partnership. After
such monthly settlement, Production Partnership funds may not be
commingled with separate funds of either Managing Partner or any other
entity; and
(vi) the Limited Partnership shall not make any advance payment to
the Managing Partners or their Affiliates, except where necessary to
secure tax benefits of prepaid drilling costs.
-32-
<PAGE>
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
without the prior Consent of the Limited Partnership granted pursuant to the
provisions of Article Eleven of this Agreement and the provisions of the Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Managing Partners shall not:
(i) lease, sell, or dispose of all or substantially all of the
Production Partnership's assets;
(ii) make, exercise or deliver any general assignment for the
benefit of the Production Partnership's creditors;
(iii) except as set forth in Section l0.1A, amend any provision of
this Agreement; or
(iv) dissolve the Production Partnership.
Section 4.5. Other Agreements of the Managing Partners
-------------------------------------------------------
A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is
agreed that:
(i) the Managing Partners and their Affiliates shall not take any
action with respect to the assets or property of the Production
Partnership which does not benefit exclusively the Production Partnership,
including:
(a) the utilization of Production Partnership funds as
compensating balances for the benefit of the Managing Partners or an
Affiliate of a Managing Partner; and
(b) the commitment of future production;
(ii) all benefits from marketing arrangements or other
relationships affecting property of any Managing Partner or its Affiliate
and the Production Partnership shall be fairly and equitably apportioned
according to the respective interests of each;
(iii) the Managing Partners may never profit themselves nor any
Affiliate by Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations in contravention of their fiduciary
obligation to the Limited Partnership; and
-33-
<PAGE>
(iv) neither the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall render
to the Production Partnership any oil field, equipage or drilling services
nor sell or lease to the Production Partnership any equipment or related
supplies unless:
(a) such Person is engaged, independently of the Production
Partnership and as an ordinary and ongoing business, in the business
of rendering such services or selling or leasing such equipment and
supplies to a substantial extent to other Persons in the oil and gas
industry in addition to drilling and income programs in which such
Person has an interest;
(b) the compensation, price or rental therefor is competitive
with the compensation, price or rental of other Persons in the area
engaged in the business of rendering comparable services or selling
or leasing comparable equipment and supplies which could reasonably
be made available to the Production Partnership;
(c) the drilling services are billed on either a per foot,
per day or per hour rate, or some combination thereof; and
(d) provided that, if such Person is not engaged in a business
within the meaning of subdivision (a), then such compensation, price
or rental shall be the cost of such services, equipment or supplies
to such Person or the competitive rate which could be obtained in
the area, whichever is less.
Section 4.6. Construction of Gas Gathering Lines
-------------------------------------------------
The Managing Partners may cause the Production Partnership to construct
gas gathering lines if, in the opinion of the Managing Partners, it would be
economically feasible and otherwise consistent with prudent operating practice
to do so. The costs of any such gathering lines will be deemed to be Operating
Costs and shall be charged to the accounts of the Partners as such. The Managing
Partners may, in their discretion, construct, or cause an Affiliate of a
Managing Partner or other person to construct, gathering lines from Production
Partnership Wells to gas transmission systems.
-34-
<PAGE>
Whenever the Managing Partners construct, or cause an Affiliate of a Managing
Partner to construct, a gathering line from a Production Partnership Well to a
gas transmission system, the Production Partnership shall pay the Managing
Partners or such Affiliate an amount that is not greater than the compensation
that an unrelated party could have reasonably charged in an arm's-length
transaction for similar services in the area as a transmission fee for the
transmission of all gas through the gathering system so constructed, and no
other transmission fee shall be paid to the Managing Partners or to any
Affiliate.
Section 4.7. Contracts with the Managing Partners and Affiliates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
All services provided to the Production Partnership by a Managing Partner
or any Affiliate for which it is compensated shall be embodied in a written
contract precisely setting forth the services to be rendered and the
compensation to be paid. Each contract relating to a transaction between the
Production Partnership and any Managing Partner or any Affiliate shall contain a
provision which shall permit termination of the contract by the Production
Partnership without penalty on 30 days' prior written notice. The Limited
Partnership shall have the power to terminate, without cause or penalty, any
such contract on behalf of the Production Partnership.
Section 4.8. Farmouts
----------------------
The Management Committee may dispose of Producing Properties by Sale or
Farmout when the Management Committee, exercising the standard of a prudent
operator, determines that (a) the Production Partnership lacks sufficient funds
to conduct Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or Improved
Recovery operations on the properties and cannot obtain suitable alternative
financing for such Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling or
Improved Recovery operations; (b) the properties have been downgraded by events
occurring after assignment to the Production Partnership to the point that
additional Development Drilling, Identified Development Drilling, Improved
Recovery operations or continued production would no longer be desirable to the
Production Partnership; (c) Development Drilling, Identified Development
Drilling or Improved Recovery operations on the properties would result in an
excessive concentration of Production Partnership funds on a
-35-
<PAGE>
Producing Property creating, in the opinion of the Management Committee, undue
risk to the Production Partnership; or (d) the best interests of the Production
Partnership would be served by the Sale or Farmout. The Production Partnership
shall not conduct any drilling of wells other than Development Drilling and
Identified Development Drilling; provided, however, that the drilling of wells
other than Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling may be
performed on behalf of the Production Partnership pursuant to Farmouts. Neither
the Managing Partners nor any Affiliate shall enter into any Farmout or other
agreement with the Production Partnership where in consideration for services to
be rendered, an interest in production is payable to the Managing Partners or
any Affiliate, unless the Production Partnership has previously expended or
committed to expend the maximum amount that is authorized to use for Development
Drilling or Identified Development Drilling. Any Sale, Farmout or similar
agreement between the Production Partnership and a Managing Partner, Affiliate
or Affiliated Program will be permitted under the restrictions set forth in this
Article Four and will be subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Management Committee (or a Managing Partner, if
management authority of the Production Partnership with respect thereto
has been delegated to it by the Management Committee) exercising the
standard of a prudent operator, shall determine that the Sale, Farmout or
similar agreement is in the best interests of the Production Partnership;
and
(ii) the terms of the Sale, Farmout or similar agreement are
consistent with and in any case no less favorable than those utilized in
the same geographic area for similar arrangements.
Section 4.9. Other Operations
------------------------------
The Managing Partners and the Management Committee shall devote such time
to the Production Partnership as is reasonably required to carry on the
Production Partnership business, and the Managing Partners, members of the
Management Committee and their Affiliates shall at all times be free, subject to
any restrictions contained herein, to engage in all aspects of the Hydrocarbons
and natural resources business for their own accounts and for the accounts of
others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing Partners
and their Affiliates shall have the right to organize and operate other
-36-
<PAGE>
partnerships, joint ventures or other oil and gas investment programs similar to
the Limited Partnership and the Production Partnership.
Section 4.10. Prosecution, Defense and Settlement of Claims;
Indemnification
-------------------------------------------------------------
A. The Managing Partners shall arrange to prosecute, defend, settle or
compromise actions at law or in equity at the expense of the Production
Partnership as may be necessary to enforce or protect the interests of the
Production Partnership. The Managing Partners shall satisfy any judgment,
decree, decision or settlement, first, out of any insurance proceeds available
therefor, next, out of the Production Partnership assets and Income, and,
finally, out of the assets of the Managing Partners and the general partners of
the Limited Partnership.
B. In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to
which the Managing Partners are a party or are threatened to be made a party by
reason of the fact that they are the Managing Partners of the Production
Partnership (other than an action by or in the right of the Production
Partnership) involving an alleged cause of action for damages arising from the
performance of their duties under this Agreement or other activities relative to
the management and disposition of Producing Properties or production from such
properties, the Production Partnership shall indemnify the Managing Partners
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Production Partnership,
and provided that their conduct does not constitute negligence or misconduct.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement shall not of itself create a presumption that the Managing Partners
did not act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the Production Partnership.
C. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the Production Partnership, to which the Managing Partners are a party
or are threatened to be made a party, involving an alleged cause of action by
the Limited Partnership for damages arising from the activities of the
-37-
<PAGE>
Managing Partners in the management of the internal affairs of the Production
Partnership as prescribed in this Agreement or by law, or both, the Production
Partnership shall indemnify the Managing Partners against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if they acted in good faith and in
a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Production
Partnership as specified in this subsection, except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Managing
Partners' course of conduct constituted negligence or misconduct.
D. To the extent that a Managing Partner has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, the Production Partnership shall indemnify it against the
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by it in
connection therewith.
E. Any indemnification under Section 4.l0B and 4.10C of this Agreement,
unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the Production Partnership only as
authorized in the specific case and only upon a determination by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because the indemnified party has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Sections 4.l0B or 4.l0C of this Agreement.
F. The Production Partnership shall not incur the costs of that portion of
insurance which insures the Managing Partners for any liability as to which the
Managing Partners are prohibited from being indemnified under Section 4.10.
ARTICLE FIVE
Distributions, Fees and Allocations
-----------------------------------
Section 5.1. Distributions of Production Partnership Funds
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Distributable Cash of the Production Partnership shall be distributed
simultaneously to the Limited Partnership and the Managing Partners within 45
days after the close of each calendar quarter. Each Partner's share of each such
-38-
<PAGE>
distribution of Distributable Cash shall be determined after giving effect to
the allocations set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement for such
period. All distributions of Distributable Cash shall reduce dollar-for-dollar
the balances of the Partners' Capital Accounts.
Section 5.2. Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses to the Managing Partners
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geodyne Production and PW Production shall receive as Managing Partners
(1) on a nonrecurring basis, the Management Fee in an amount equal to 1-1/2% of
the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership; and (2)
reimbursement for Direct Administrative Costs billed directly to the Managing
Partners and General and Administrative Costs incurred by the Managing Partners
or their Affiliates allocable to the Production Partnership, except to the

Costs or otherwise. Geodyne Production and PW Production shall allocate between
themselves the payment of the Management Fee as follows: in the event the Fee
(as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) (hereinafter referred to as
the "Limited Partnership Fee") is less than the actual organization and offering
costs of the Limited Partnership plus Unreimbursed Prior Organization and

Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production
to the extent of such deficiency, 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne
Production to the extent of organization and offering costs and the remainder of
the Management Fee shall be paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne
Production. In the event the Limited Partnership Fee is equal to or greater than
the actual organization and offering costs of the Limited Partnership plus
Unreimbursed Prior Organization and Offering Costs (as defined in the Limited
Partnership Agreement), then the Management Fee shall be paid 60% to PW
Production and 40% to Geodyne Production to the extent of organization and
offering costs and the remainder shall be paid as follows: in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(i) of the Limited Partnership Agreement has
been made (but the payments in Section 3.6B(ii) and (iii) have not been made) to
the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the Management Fee shall be
paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne Production; in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited
-39-
<PAGE>
Partnership Agreement has been made (but the payment in Section 3.6B(iii) has
not been made) to the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of
the Management Fee over the amount paid to the general partners of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6B(ii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement
shall be paid 75% to PW Production and 25% to Geodyne Production, the balance of
the Management Fee, but not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital
contributions to the Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and
50% to Geodyne Production, and any remaining balance of the Management Fee shall
be paid 70% to PW Production and 30% to Geodyne Production; and in the event the
payment referred to in Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement
has been made to the general partners of the Limited Partnership, the excess of
the Management Fee over the amount paid to the general partners of the Limited
Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6B(iii) of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
but not in excess of 1% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership, shall be paid 50% to PW Production and 50% to Geodyne
Production, and the balance of the Management Fee shall be paid 70% to PW
Production and 30% to Geodyne Production.
Section 5.3. Allocation of Income, Investment Income, Costs and
Deductions
----------------------------------------------------------------
A. The Income, Investment Income, Profits, Production Partnership costs
and losses of the Production Partnership shall be determined and allocated with
respect to each Fiscal Year of the Production Partnership as of and within 75
days after the end of such Fiscal Year.
B. (i) 100% of Investment Income, Property Acquisition Costs, costs
incurred in connection with Identified Development Drilling (including any
interest, commitment fees and other finance charges with respect to
borrowings incurred in connection therewith) and the Management Fee
referred to in Section 5.2(1) of this Agreement shall all be allocated to,
and borne by, the Limited Partnership. 100% of Organization and Offering
Costs shall be allocated to, and borne by, the Managing Partners as
follows: 60% to PW Production and 40% to Geodyne Production. Except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5.3B(ii) and 5.3B(iii), Income, General and
Administrative Costs, Operating Costs, costs incurred in connection with
Development Drilling and
-40-
<PAGE>
Direct Administrative Costs shall be allocated among, and borne by, the
Partners in the following percentages:
(a) Until Payout:
Limited Partnership 90.9091%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 9.0909%
(b) After Payout:
Limited Partnership 85.8586%
PW Production and Geodyne
Production (in the aggregate) 14.1414%
The Managing Partners shall allocate between themselves their aggregate
Interest before and after Payout as follows: 70% to PW Production and 30%
to Geodyne Production if the Production Partnership is Activated within
twelve months after the date on which the registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Units is
declared effective (the "Effective Date"), and 60% to PW Production and
40% to Geodyne Production if the Production Partnership is Activated
during the twelve month period ending twenty-four months after the
Effective Date; provided, however, that if the Production Partnership was
Activated more than twelve months after the Effective Date and the
immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership was activated (as
defined in the partnership agreement respecting such Prior Production
Partnership) within twelve months after the Effective Date, then PW
Production shall be allocated that percentage of the aggregate Managing
Partners' Interest represented by a fraction, the numerator of which is
equal to the sum of (i) 70 multiplied by the number of days from the
activation of the immediately preceding Prior Production Partnership
through the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date, and (ii) 60
multiplied by the number of days from the date that is 12 months after the
Effective Date through the date of the Activation of the Production
Partnership, and the denominator of which is the total number of days that
has elapsed from the activation of the immediately preceding Prior
Production Partnership to the Activation of the Production Partnership,
and Geodyne Production shall be allocated the balance of the aggregate
Managing Partners' Interest (such allocation
-41-
<PAGE>
between the Managing Partners of their aggregate Interest being their
"Sharing Ratios"). The Managing Partners shall have the authority to amend
this Agreement to provide for any different allocation between themselves
at their discretion.
(ii) As used in this subsection, the "Measuring Date" shall be the
earlier of the date on which 90% of the Limited Partnership's Capital
Contribution has been expended or the second anniversary of the Activation
of the Production Partnership; the first "Allocation Period" shall be the
twelve month period beginning on the last day of the first full Fiscal
Year quarter after the Measuring Date; and each twelve month period
following the end of the first Allocation Period shall also be referred to
as an "Allocation Period". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if during each of the first two Allocation Periods the
amount of cash distributed to the Limited Partnership that is attributable
to the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) is less than a 15.1515%
cumulative (but not compounded) twelve-month return on the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership, then there
shall be distributed to the Limited Partnership thereafter (in addition to
the amount of Distributable Cash distributed to the Limited Partnership
resulting from the allocations to the Limited Partnership set forth in
Section 5.3B(i)) an amount of cash up to 50% of the cash otherwise
distributable to the Managing Partners thereafter pursuant to the
allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(i) not to exceed the amount of any
such deficiency (the amount of such cash distribution being a "Transfer
Amount"), and Income and costs sufficient to yield an amount of
Distributable Cash equal to the Transfer Amount and otherwise allocable to
the Managing Partners during the Fiscal Year in which such Allocation
Period ends and, to the extent necessary, each Fiscal Year thereafter
pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall be allocated to the Limited Partnership.
If during any Allocation Period after the initial two Allocation Periods,
the Limited Partnership is being allocated Income and costs pursuant to
Section 5.3B(i) such that there is distributed to the Limited Partnership
an amount of cash in excess of a 15.1515% cumulative (but not compounded)
twelve-month return on the Limited Partners' capital contributions to the
Limited Partnership since the beginning of the first two Allocation
Periods (such excess amount of cash being the "Surplus"), and there has
been distributed to the Limited Partnership a
-42-
<PAGE>
Transfer Amount, then there shall be distributed to the Managing Partners
thereafter an aggregate amount of cash otherwise distributable to the
Limited Partnership pursuant to the allocations set forth in Section
5.3B(i) equal to the amount of any Surplus (the amount of such cash
distribution being a "Reverse Transfer Amount"), and Income and costs
sufficient to yield an amount of Distributable Cash equal to the Reverse
Transfer Amount and otherwise allocable to the Limited Partnership during
the Fiscal Year in which such Allocation Period ends and, to the extent
necessary, each Fiscal Year thereafter pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall
be allocated to the Managing Partners; provided, however, that the amount
of any Reverse Transfer Amount distributed to the Managing Partners shall
not exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of the Transfer Amounts
distributed to the Limited Partnership less the aggregate of all Reverse
Transfer Amounts previously distributed to the Managing Partners.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
on the seventh anniversary of the last day of the Fiscal Year in which the
Production Partnership commences Development Drilling, or Identified
Development Drilling, and in each Fiscal Year thereafter, (a) the
aggregate amount of Income less the aggregate amount of direct lease
operating expenses and severance, ad valorem, windfall profits, excise and
other taxes (but not income taxes) allocated to the Limited Partnership
pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) attributable to production resulting from
Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties is less than (b) the aggregate amount of costs allocated to the
Limited Partnership pursuant to Section 5.3(B)(i) incurred in connection
with Development Drilling and Identified Development Drilling on Producing
Properties during each Fiscal Year ending seven or more years prior
thereto, then Income and costs otherwise allocable to the Managing
Partners pursuant to Section 5.3B(i) shall thereafter be allocated to the
Limited Partnership until such deficiency in Income is eliminated.
(iv) For purposes of the allocations set forth in Section 5.3B(ii)
of this Agreement, the amount of cash distributed to the Limited
Partnership for purposes of determining the return on the Limited
Partners' capital contributions to the Limited Partnership shall not
include any amounts attributable to the Production Partnership's payment
of any windfall profits tax.

C. All items of Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allowable for
Federal income tax purposes and all recapture of any such deductions and credits
shall be allocated and charged or credited to the Partners in the same manner
that the revenues, costs or expenses giving rise to such items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit are allocated and charged. Federal income tax
deductions for cost or percentage depletion with respect to any Producing
Property shall be determined at the Partner level and shall be determined in the
case of percentage depletion on the same basis that the Income from the
Producing Property is allocated; and the Production Partnership shall allocate,
under Section 612A(c)(7)(D) of the Code, its adjusted basis in each Producing
Property to the Partners in proportion to the interest of each in the Production
Partnership capital ultimately used to acquire that property. If such allocation
of basis is not permitted under the Code, the basis of each such property shall
be allocated in the manner which the Managing Partners deem will most closely
achieve the result intended above.
D. Capital Accounts shall be established and maintained for each Partner
in accordance with tax accounting principles and with valid regulations issued
by the U.S. Treasury Department under subsection 704(b) of the Code (the "704
Regulations"). To the extent that tax accounting principles and the 704
Regulations may conflict, the latter shall control. In connection with the
establishment and maintenance of such Capital Accounts, the following provisions
shall apply:
(1) Each Partner's Capital Account shall be (i) increased by the
amount of its Capital Contribution, the fair market value of property
contributed by it to the Production Partnership (net of liabilities
securing such contributed property that the Production Partnership is
considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code) and
allocations to it of Income and gain (except to the extent such Income or
gain has previously been reflected in its Capital Account by adjustments
thereto) and (ii) decreased by the amount of Distributable Cash
distributed to it, the fair market value of property distributed to it by
the Production Partnership (net of liabilities securing such distributed
property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to
under section 752 of the Code) and allocations to it of Production
Partnership loss, deduction (except to the extent such loss or deduction
has previously been reflected
-44-
<PAGE>
in its Capital Account by adjustments thereto) and expenditures described
in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code.
(ii) In the event Production Partnership Property is distributed to
a Partner, then, before the Capital Account of such Partner is adjusted as
required by clause (i) of this Section 5.3D, the Capital Accounts of the
Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized
Income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such Production Partnership
Property (that has not been reflected in such Capital Accounts previously)
would be allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition
of such Production Partnership Property for its fair market value on the
date of distribution.
(iii) If, pursuant to this Agreement, Production Partnership
Property is reflected on the books of the Production Partnership at a book
value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such Production
Partnership Property, then the Partners' Capital Accounts shall be
adjusted in accordance with the 704 Regulations for allocations to the
Partners of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as
computed for book purposes, with respect to such Production Partnership
Property.
(iv) The Partner's Capital Accounts shall be adjusted for depletion
and gain or loss with respect to the Production Partnership's oil or gas
properties in whichever of the following manners the Managing Partners
determine is in the best interests of the Partners:
(a) The Partners' Capital Accounts shall be reduced by a
simulated depletion allowance computed on each oil or gas property
using either the cost depletion method or the percentage depletion
method (without regard to the limitations under the Code which could
apply to less than all Partners); provided, however, that the choice
between the cost depletion method and the percentage depletion
method shall be made on a property-by-property basis and such
choices shall be binding for all Production Partnership taxable
years during which such oil or gas property is held by the
Production Partnership. Such reductions for depletion shall be
allocated among the Partners' Capital Accounts in the same
proportions as the adjusted basis in the particular property is
-45-
<PAGE>
allocated to each Partner. Upon the taxable disposition of an oil or
gas property by the Production Partnership, the Production
Partnership's simulated gain or loss shall be determined by
subtracting its simulated adjusted basis (aggregate adjusted tax
basis of the Partners less simulated depletion allowances) in such
property from the amount realized on such disposition and the
Partners' Capital Accounts shall be increased or reduced, as the
case may be, by the amount of the simulated gain or loss on such
disposition in proportion to the Partners' allocable shares of the
total amount realized on such disposition, or
(b) The Production Partnership shall reduce the Capital
Account of each Partner in an amount equal to such Partner's
depletion allowance with respect to each oil or gas property of the
Production Partnership (for the Partner's taxable year that ends
within the Production Partnership's taxable year), but such
reductions for depletion shall not exceed the adjusted basis
allocated to such Partner with respect to such property. Upon the
taxable disposition of an oil or gas property by the Production
Partnership, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be reduced or
increased, as the case may be, by the amount of the difference
between such Partner's allocable share of the total amount realized
on such disposition and such Partner's remaining adjusted tax basis
in such property.
(v) For purposes of determining the Capital Account balance of any
Partner as of the end of any Production Partnership taxable year for
purposes of Subsection 5.3I hereto, such Partner's Capital Account shall
be reduced by:
(a) Adjustments that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner's Capital Account pursuant
to paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(k) of the 704 Regulations for depletion
allowances with respect to oil and gas properties of the Production
Partnership, and
-46-
<PAGE>
(b) Distributions that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner pursuant to Code section
704(e)(2), Code section 706(d), and paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of section
1.751-1 of regulations promulgated under the Code, and
(c) Distributions that, as of the end of such year, reasonably
are expected to be made to such Partner to the extent they exceed
offsetting increases to such Partner's Capital Account that
reasonably are expected to occur during (or prior to) the Production
Partnership taxable years in which such distributions are expected
to be made.
E. The Capital Accounts of those Partners which are charged with an
expense of the Production Partnership shall be credited with any portion of that
expense which is finally determined, judicially or administratively, to be
nondeductible for Federal income tax purposes, less any amortization or
depreciation thereof incurred prior to the date that the credit is made.
F. In allocating Income and costs for any Fiscal Year in which the ratio
for sharing Income and costs changes pursuant to Section 5.3B(i), the
allocations of Income and costs shall be made, and the books of the Production
Partnership shall be closed, as soon as practicable after the date Payout
occurs, to determine each Partner's share of pre-change Income and costs and
each Partner's share of post-change Income and costs for that Fiscal Year.
G. Proceeds received from the Sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Production Partnership's Producing Properties shall be allocated to the Limited
Partnership and the Managing Partners to the extent of their adjusted basis in
such sold or transferred Production Partnership Property. Proceeds in excess of
said amount shall be allocated in accordance with the percentages set forth in
Section 5.3B(i) , except that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3F
and solely for purposes of this Section 5.3G, where the proceeds from such Sale
are distributed to the Partners and a portion of the Distributable Cash
attributable to such Sale proceeds is sufficient in amount to cause Payout to
occur in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect until Payout,
Payout shall be deemed to occur such that Income and Distributable Cash
attributable to the portion of such Sale proceeds in excess of
-47-
<PAGE>
the portion of Sales proceeds sufficient in amount to cause Payout to occur
shall be allocated in accordance with the allocation percentages in effect after
Payout.
H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, under any
provision of this Agreement, the Capital Account of any Partner is adjusted to
reflect the difference between the basis to the Production Partnership of
Production Partnership Property and such Production Partnership Property's fair
market value, then all items of Income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect
to such Production Partnership Property shall be allocated among the Partners so
as to take account of the variation between the basis of such Production
Partnership Property and its fair market value at the time of the adjustment to
such Partner's Capital Account in accordance with the requirements of subsection
704(c) of the Code, or in the same manner as provided under subsection 704(c) of
the Code.
I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein,
(a) There shall be allocated to the Managing Partners, pro rata, any
item of loss, deduction, credit or allowance that, but for this Section
5.3I, would have been allocated to the other General Partner that is not
obligated to restore any deficit balance in such Partner's Capital Account
and would have thereupon caused or increased a deficit balance in such
Partner's Capital Account as of the end of the Production Partnership's
taxable year to which such allocation related (after taking into
consideration the provisions of Subsection 5.3D(v) hereof);
(b) Any General Partner that is not obligated to restore any deficit
balance in such Partner's Capital Account who unexpectedly receives an
adjustment, allocation or distribution specified in Subsection 5.3D(v)
hereof shall be allocated items of Income and gain in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible; and
(c) In the event any allocations of loss, deduction, credit or
allowance are made to the Managing Partners pursuant to clause (a) of this
Subsection 5.3I, the Managing Partners shall be subsequently allocated all
items of Income and gain until the aggregate amount of such allocations of
Income and gain is equal to the aggregate
-48-
<PAGE>
amount of any such allocations of loss, deduction, credit or allowance
allocated to such Partners pursuant to clause (a) of this Subsection 5.3I.
Section 5.4. Determinations of Allocations and Distributions
-------------------------------------------------------------
Distributable Cash, Income, Investment Income, costs, deductions, Profits
and Losses allocable to the Partners shall be distributed or allocated, as the
case may be, to the Persons who were Partners, as of the last day of the fiscal
period for which the distribution or allocation is to be made, except that in
any fiscal period in which a Partner sells, assigns or transfers all or any part
of such Partner's Interest to any Person who during the fiscal period is
admitted as a Substituted Partner, the Distributable Cash, Income, Investment
Income, costs, deductions, Profits and Losses attributable to the Interest so
sold, assigned or transferred shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2
of this Agreement, be allocated between the transferor and the transferee on the
basis of the number of days in the fiscal period before the admission, and on
and after the admission, of the transferee as a Substituted Partner; provided,
however, that the Distributable Cash attributable to a Sale of a Producing
Property shall be distributed to those Partners who are Partners on the day the
distribution of such Distributable Cash occurs. The Managing Partners shall
inform the other Partners of the occurrence and terms of any such Sale by the
Production Partnership as soon as practicable after such Sale has been
consummated.

Transferability of Managing Partner's Interests
-----------------------------------------------
Section 6.1. Transferability of Managing Partner's Interest
------------------------------------------------------------
A. Except as provided in Sections 6.lB and 6.2B, each of the Managing
Partners shall not have the right to retire, withdraw, transfer or assign its
Managing Partner Interest, except that there may be substituted in its stead as
Managing Partner any entity that has, by merger, consolidation or otherwise,
acquired substantially all of its assets or capital stock and continued its
business.
-49-
<PAGE>
B. Each Managing Partner may, upon at least ninety days' written notice
to the Limited Partnership and the other Managing Partner, cause the Production
Partnership to distribute, in partial liquidation of its Interest in the
Production Partnership, to such Managing Partner fractional, undivided interests
in the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership (such interest of a
Managing Partner in a Producing Property distributed is hereinafter referred to
as the "Distributed Interest") up to an aggregate interest equal in value to 75%
of the value of the Producing Properties of the Production Partnership that it
would have been entitled to upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Production
Partnership after application of the provisions of Section 8.2 of this Agreement
(the interest in a Producing Property of a Managing Partner retained in the
Production Partnership is hereinafter referred to as the "Retained Interest")
provided, however, that no such distribution shall occur (i) more than once with
respect to a Managing Partner, (ii) prior to seven years after the Activation of
the Production Partnership and (iii) unless such Managing Partner obtains an
opinion of counsel to the Production Partnership to the effect that such
distribution will not result in any material adverse tax consequence to the
other Managing Partner or to the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any such distribution is made,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Capital Accounts of the Partners
and in the allocation of Production Partnership Income and costs to assure that
the other Managing Partner will not share or participate in any of the capital,
costs, Income, or distributions attributable to the Producing Properties of the
Production Partnership except to the extent of the Retained Interest of such
Managing Partner.
Section 6.2. Removal of Managing Partners
------------------------------------------
A. (i) The power shall be vested in the Limited Partnership to remove
at any time any Managing Partner. The power shall be vested in the
Limited Partnership to consent to the admission of a successor
Managing Partner following the Removal of any Managing Partner by
the Limited Partnership. A successor Managing Partner shall be
selected pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2D of this
Agreement.
-50-
<PAGE>
(ii) (a) A Managing Partner shall have the power to Remove the
other Managing Partner, and pursuant to Section l0.lA of this
Agreement, admit a successor Managing Partner, for "Cause" as
defined in Section 6.2A(ii)(b), but for no other reason.
(b) "Cause" for purposes of Section 6.2A(ii)(a) shall be
deemed to exist only (i) when a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have made a final determination (which determination is not
successfully appealed) that a Managing Partner has been guilty of
gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or similar breach of
fiduciary responsibility in carrying out its duties as a Managing
Partner, or (ii) a Managing Partner is dissolved or liquidated on
account of insolvency or any other event occurs resulting in the
appointment of a trustee or receiver who acquires control of the
affairs of such Managing Partner for the purpose of dissolution or
liquidation on account of insolvency, and such trustee or receiver
is not dismissed within 90 days after appointment of such trustee or
receiver, or (iii) (a) a report on the audited financial statements
of a Managing Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates is
issued by the independent accountants for such Managing Partner that
is qualified on a going concern basis, or (b) either Managing
Partner requests an audit to be performed of the other Managing
Partner and its consolidated corporate affiliates by the independent
accountants for the other Managing Partner (the expense of such
audit being paid by the Managing Partner requesting the audit) , and
such audit results in the issuance of an opinion with respect to the
financial statements of the other Managing Partner and its
consolidated corporate affiliates for the period ending, and as of,
the most recent date feasible, that is qualified on a going concern
basis.
B. (i) In the event that a Managing Partner is Removed, the Removed
Managing Partner's Interest in the Production Partnership shall be
transferred to the other Managing Partner, and the other Managing
Partner shall assign to the Removed Managing Partner a portion of
Production Partnership Income, costs and Distributable Cash as and
when such items are allocated or distributed, as the case may be, by
the
-51-
<PAGE>
Production Partnership equal to the percentage interest of the
Removed Managing Partner in the Production Partnership prior to its
Removal; provided, however, that such assignment shall be reduced
proportionately in the event of a foreclosure or sale referred to in
Section 4.3D with respect to the Removed Managing Partner's interest
transferred to the other Managing Partner to the extent of the
foreclosed or sold interest.
(ii) If a sole Managing Partner is Removed and a successor Managing
Partner is to be admitted to the Production Partnership, the removed
Managing Partner shall not be Removed until a successor Managing
Partner has been admitted to the Production Partnership pursuant to
Article 10 of this Agreement.
(iii) In the event a sole Managing Partner is Removed by the Limited
Partnership and a successor Managing Partner is to be admitted, the
incoming Managing Partner and the Removed Managing Partner shall, by
mutual agreement, select an independent petroleum consultant to
value the Removed Managing Partner's Interest in the Production
Partnership. In determining the value of the Managing Partner's
Interest, the independent consultant will take into account
appropriate discount factors in light of the risk of recovery of oil
and gas reserves, and, in any event, will utilize a "risk factor"
discount no less than that utilized in the most recent offer
extended pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Limited Partnership
Agreement, if any. The incoming Managing Partner, or the Production
Partnership, shall have the option to purchase at least 20% of the
Interest of the Removed Managing Partner for the value determined by
the independent appraisal. The Removed Managing Partner's Interest
in the Production Partnership shall be transferred to the successor
Managing Partner, and the successor Managing Partner shall assign to
the Removed Managing Partner a portion of Production Partnership
Income, costs and Distributable Cash as and when such items are
allocated or distributed, as the case may be, by the Production
Partnership equal to the percentage interest of the Removed Managing
Partner in the Production Partnership prior to Removal, less the
portion purchased by the successor Managing Partner or the
Production Partnership.

C. Notwithstanding Section 3.6, any Managing Partner who shall be Removed
pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2 shall be released by the other
Partners from all liability for Production Partnership debts and obligations
incurred by the Production Partnership prior to the date of such Removal.
D. Under circumstances in which the Limited Partnership Consents to the
admission of a successor Managing Partner, such admission shall not become
effective unless the Production Partnership shall have received a certificate,
duly executed by or on behalf of such proposed successor Managing Partner to the
effect that it is experienced in the performance (or employs sufficient
personnel who are experienced in performing) of functions of the type then being
performed by the Removed Managing Partner.

Section 7.1. Transferability of Limited Partnership's Interest
---------------------------------------------------------------
No Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment of the Limited Partnership's
Interest may be made if in the opinion of counsel to the Production Partnership,
such Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment, would (i) result in the Production
Partnership being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section
708 of the Code, or (ii) cause the Production Partnership to lose its status as
a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Managing
Partners may require an opinion of the transferor's counsel, satisfactory to the
Managing Partners, that such Sale, exchange, transfer or assignment would not
violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or "blue
sky" laws.
Section 7.2. Incapacity of Partners
------------------------------------
If a Partner (including a Managing Partner) becomes Incapacitated, the

managing its estate and such power as the Incapacitated Partner possessed to
assign all or any part of its Interest and to join with such assignee in
satisfying conditions precedent to such assignee becoming a Substituted Partner.
The Incapacity of a Partner shall not dissolve the Production Partnership.
Section 7.3. Assignees and Substituted Partners
------------------------------------------------
A. The Production Partnership shall not recognize for any purpose any
purported sale, assignment or transfer of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited Partnership unless the provisions of Section 7.1 shall have been
complied with and there shall have been filed with the Production Partnership a
dated Notification of such sale, assignment or transfer, executed and
acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser,
assignee or transferee and such Notification (i) contains the acceptance by the
purchaser, assignee or transferee of all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and (ii) represents that such sale, assignment or transfer was made in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Any sale, assignment or
transfer shall be recognized by the Production Partnership as effective on the
date of such Notification if the date of such Notification is within 30 days of
the date on which such Notification is filed with the Production Partnership,
and otherwise shall be recognized as effective on the date such Notification is
filed with the Production Partnership.
B. If the Limited Partnership assigns all of its Interest to an assignee,
the Limited Partnership shall cease to be a Partner.
C. A Person who is the assignee of all or any fraction of the Interest of
the Limited Partnership shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article
Seven to the same extent and in the same manner as the Limited Partnership
desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.
D. Any purchaser, assignee, transferee, donee, heir, legatee or other
recipient of an Interest shall be admitted to the Production Partnership as a
Substituted Partner only with the Consent of the other Partners, which Consent
may be granted or withheld by such Partners at their sole and absolute
discretion. The admission of such Person as a Substituted Partner shall be
evidenced by the execution by the Partners of a certificate evidencing the
admission of such Person as a Partner
-54-

and an amendment to this Agreement executed by the Managing Partners on their
own behalf, as well as on behalf of each other Partner, pursuant to the power of
attorney granted pursuant to Section 12.5 of this Agreement.
E. No Person shall become a Substituted Partner until such Person shall
have satisfied the requirements of Section 10.2; provided, however, that for the
purpose of allocating Income, Investment Income, Profits, Losses, costs, and
Distributable Cash, a Person shall be treated as having become, and as appearing
in the records of the Production Partnership as, a Partner on such date as the
sale, assignment or transfer to such Person was recognized by the Production
Partnership pursuant to Section 7.3A.
Section 7.4. Incapacity of the Limited Partnership
---------------------------------------------------
Upon the Incapacity of the Limited Partnership or upon the seizure of a
Limited Partnership's Interest in the Production Partnership, the successor to
such Limited Partnership's Interest ("Successor") shall be deemed an assignee of
such Limited Partnership's Interest in the Production Partnership and neither
the Production Partnership nor the Successor shall have the right to demand
immediate valuation and payment of such Limited Partnership's Interest.

of the following events:
(i) the expiration of its term, unless its term shall have been
extended by the Management Committee pursuant to Section 2.4 of this
Agreement;
(ii) the Incapacity of the sole Managing Partner. However, within

(v) ninety days after the Removal (unless the Limited Partnership
Consents to a Successor pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement) of the
sole Managing Partner;
(vi) the happening of any other event causing the dissolution of
the Production Partnership under the laws of the State, except that the
Incapacity of any Partner (other than the sole Managing Partner) shall not
dissolve the Production Partnership and the seizure of the Interest of any
Partner shall not dissolve the Production Partnership.
B. Dissolution of the Production Partnership shall be effective on the day
on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Production
Partnership shall not terminate until the Managing Partners have recorded a
notice of dissolution of the Production Partnership in the proper records of any
jurisdiction in which this Agreement has been recorded and shall have complied
with the laws of the states in which its does business and the assets of the
Production Partnership have been distributed as provided in Section 8.2.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall impair, restrict or limit the
rights and powers of the Partners under the laws of the State or any other
jurisdiction in which the Production Partnership is doing business to reform and
reconstitute themselves as a general partnership following dissolution of the
Production Partnership either under provisions identical to those set forth
herein or under any other provisions.
Section 8.2. Liquidation
-------------------------
A. Upon dissolution of the Production Partnership, its liabilities shall
be paid in the order provided herein. The Managing Partners shall either
distribute in kind or sell the Production Partnership's property so that such
disposition is in
-56-
<PAGE>
the best interests of the Limited Partnership, and shall execute all amendments
terminating the Production Partnership. In connection with any such Sale, the
Managing Partners shall attempt to obtain the best prices for such property.
Pending such Sales, the Managing Partners shall have the right to continue to
operate and otherwise to deal with Production Partnership property. In the event
the Production Partnership is dissolved on account of the Incapacity or Removal
of the sole Managing Partner, the Production Partnership shall elect, in
accordance with the provisions of Article Eleven, a person (the "Liquidating
Agent") to perform the function of a Managing Partner in liquidating the assets
of the Production Partnership and winding up its affairs, and shall pay to such
Liquidating Agent its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
therewith. Gain or loss realized on the Sale or other disposition of the
Production Partnership's assets will be credited to (in the case of gain) or
charged against (in the case of loss) each Partner's Capital Account to the
extent allocable to it under Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement. In the
event of a distribution in kind of (a) any property other than an interest in a
Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall be debited with the
portion of the Production Partnership's adjusted basis thereof attributable to
the interest therein distributed to it and (b) any Producing Property or an
interest in any Producing Property, each Partner's Capital Account shall first
be credited or debited with its share of the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation in the fair market value of said Producing Property or interest in
said Producing Property. Each Partner's share of said unrealized appreciation or
depreciation shall be equivalent to its share (allocated pursuant to Sections
5.3 and 5.4 of this Agreement) of the gain or loss on an actual Sale of such
Producing Property or interest therein. The Capital Account of each Partner to
whom a Producing Property or an interest in a Producing Property is distributed
shall be debited with the fair market value of the Producing Property
