giving effect to such amendment (and to such application of PP Proceeds), the
unliquidated balance of the Primary Sum as of the Effective Time is $34,948,562.
(Any PP Proceeds received after the Effective Time on June 7, 2000 shall be

The foregoing Percentage Shares of Fund V, Fund VI and SPS, respectively, are in

SPS to Grantor and the foregoing increase in the unliquidated balance of the
Primary Sum:
(a) Fund V and Fund VI do hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, CONVEY,
ASSIGN, TRANSFER, SET OVER and DELIVER unto SPS such additional
undivided interests in the Production Payment as are necessary in order
to cause SPS, Fund V and Fund VI to own the Production Payment, at and
after the Effective Time, in undivided interests in proportion to their
respective amended Percentage Shares, and
(b) Fund V and Fund VI do further assign unto SPS such
undivided interests in Fund V's and Fund VI's accounts receivable from
the sale of PP Hydrocarbons -- to the extent such accounts receivable
exist and are unpaid at the Effective Time and arise from the sale of
PP Hydrocarbons before the Effective Time -- as are necessary in order
to cause SPS, Fund V and Fund VI to share in all collections of such
accounts receivable after the Effective Time in proportion to their
respective amended Percentage Shares.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same, upon and subject to the terms of the
Original Conveyance, as amended hereby, unto SPS and its successors and
Permitted Assigns, until the Termination Time.
