               (a) Terms of Revolving Commitment. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Bank agrees to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Revolving Maturity Date in such amounts as the Borrower may request up to an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, the Revolving Commitment. The obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the Revolving Note issued in connection herewith, said Revolving Note to be as described in Section 2.1(c) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing or if any event or condition has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. Irrespective of the face amount of the Revolving Note, the Bank shall never have the obligation to Advance any amount or amounts in excess of the Revolving Commitment or to increase the Revolving Commitment. Within the limit of Bank’s Revolving Commitment, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.1 prior to the Maturity Date.

               (b) Procedure for Borrowing. Whenever the Borrower desires an Advance hereunder, it shall give Bank facsimile or telephonic notice (“Notice of Borrowing”) of such requested Advance, which in the case of telephonic notice, shall be promptly confirmed in

writing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto and shall be received by Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma time, (i) one Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date. Not later than 10:00 a.m., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma time, on the Business Day immediately following the Bank’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing, Bank shall make available to the Borrower at the same office, in like funds, the aggregate amount of such requested Advance. Bank shall incur no liability to the Borrower in acting upon any Notice of Borrowing which Bank believes in good faith to have been given by a Responsible Officer. Upon funding of Advances by Bank in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to any such Notice, the Borrower shall have effected Advances hereunder.

               (c) Form of Revolving Note. The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note in the face amount of $50,000,000, and shall be in the form of Exhibit “B-1” hereto with appropriate insertions. Notwithstanding the face amount of the Revolving Note, the actual principal amount due from the Borrower to Bank on account of the Revolving Note, as of any date of computation, shall be the sum of Advances then and theretofore made on account thereof, less all principal payments actually received by Bank in collected funds with respect thereto. Although the Revolving Note may be dated as of the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the period during which the loans evidenced thereby are outstanding and, although the stated amount of the Revolving Note may be higher, the Revolving Note shall be enforceable, with respect to Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal amount thereof, only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the loans. Irrespective of the face amount of the Revolving Note, Bank shall never be obligated to advance on the Revolving Commitment any amount in excess of the Revolving Commitment then in effect.

               (d) Revolving Note Interest Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the Revolving Note calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days with respect to the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Note from the date the proceeds thereof are advanced to Borrower until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), at a varying rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate (defined herein), or (ii) the Applicable Rate. Past due principal and, to the extent permitted by law, past due interest, shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

                    (i) Be made by written notice to Bank or by telephonic notice to Bank promptly confirmed in writing, in the form and substance of the “Rate Election” attached hereto as Exhibit “D”, duly completed and signed by either Co-President of Borrower.

          Each Rate Election shall be irrevocable. The aggregate amount of the election must be at least $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. Upon the termination of each Interest Period, the portion of the Revolving Loan theretofore constituting the related LIBOR Portion shall, unless the subject of a new Rate Election then taking effect, automatically become a part of the Prime Rate Portion of the Loan and become subject to all provisions of the Loan Documents governing such Prime Rate Portion. Borrower shall have no need for more than one LIBOR Portion for the Revolving Loan in effect at any time.

               (f) Non-Use Fees. The Borrower will pay to the Bank, immediately upon receipt of an invoice therefor, the then applicable unused commitment fee based upon average daily Available Commitment multiplied by the Commitment Fee (based upon a year of 360 days) and payable on the last day of each calendar quarter during the term hereof and on the Maturity Date.

               (g) Repayment. Interest on the Revolving Note shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date beginning December 1, 2006 and upon any prepayment of principal. Principal of the Revolving Note shall be due and payable to the Bank on the Revolving Maturity Date unless earlier due in whole or in part pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of an acceleration of the amount due or pursuant to the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 5(b) hereof.

               (h) Payment to Bank. Any payment or prepayment received by Bank at any time after 12:00 noon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, time on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

          2.2 Letters of Credit.

               (a) Letter of Credit Terms. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Bank shall from time to time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Maturity Date, upon request of Borrower, issue standby and/or commercial Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower in such face amounts as Borrower may request, but not to exceed in the aggregate face amount at any time outstanding the Available Commitment. Provided, however, the face amount of all Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall not exceed $2,000,000.00 at any one time outstanding. The face amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder plus any Reimbursement Obligations shall be considered as Advances for Borrowing Base purposes and all payments made by the Bank on such Letters of Credit shall be considered as Advances under the Note. Each Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower hereunder shall (i) be in favor of such beneficiaries as specifically requested by Borrower, (ii) have an expiration date not exceeding the earlier of (a) one year or (b) the Maturity Date, and (iii) contain such other terms and provisions as may be reasonably required by Bank. The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse the Bank for the

amount of each demand for payment under any Letter of Credit that is in substantial compliance with the provisions of any such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt from any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the demand and the date upon which such payment is to be made by the Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. Forthwith upon receipt of such notice from the Bank, Borrower shall advise the Bank whether or not it intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligations to reimburse the Bank, and if so, submit a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 2.1(b) hereof. All such amounts paid by the Bank shall be treated as an Advance or Advances under the Commitment.

               (b) Procedure for Obtaining Letters of Credit. The amount and date of issuance, renewal, extension or reissuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to the Bank’s commitment above shall be designated by Borrower’s written request delivered to Bank at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such issuance, renewal, extension or reissuance. Concurrently with or promptly following the delivery of the request for a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank an application and agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit, said application and agreement to be in the form used by the Bank. The Bank shall not be obligated to issue, renew, extend or reissue such Letters of Credit if (A) the amount thereon when added to the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus any Reimbursement Obligations plus the outstanding principal indebtedness owed on the Note would exceed the Revolving Commitment. Borrower agrees to pay the Bank commissions for issuing the Letters of Credit (calculated separately for each Letter of Credit) in an amount equal to one and one half of one percent (1.50%) per annum on the maximum face amount of the Letter of Credit. Such commissions shall be payable prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and thereafter on each anniversary date of such issuance while such Letter of Credit is outstanding.

          2.3 Hedge Line.

               (a) Terms of Hedge Line Commitment. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Bank and Borrower agree to perform pursuant to the terms of the ISDA Agreement during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date in such amounts as the Borrower may request up to an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, the Hedge Line Commitment. The obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the ISDA Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing or if any event or condition has occurred or failed to occur which with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. The Bank shall never have the obligation to Advance any amount or amounts in excess of the Hedge Line Commitment or to increase the Hedge Line Commitment.

               (b) Hedge Line Procedure. Borrower shall access the Hedge Line pursuant to the terms of the ISDA Agreement.

               (c) Advances. Any obligation owed by the Borrower to the Bank arising under the ISDA Agreement shall (i) be deemed to be an advance against the Hedge Line established by the Credit Documents (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) for the purpose of determining the amount of available credit remaining upon which the Borrower may draw, if any; and, (ii) upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, shall also be deemed funds borrowed under the Credit Documents (as defined in the ISDA Agreement).

               (d) Default Provisions. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any applicable period to cure any such Event of Default, the Default Rate shall apply to any Hedge Line Debt currently outstanding and outstanding in the future until such Event of Default is cured to Bank’s satisfaction.

               (e) Evidence of Obligation. In addition to the ISDA Agreement, Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Bank any obligations resulting from its hedging activities. This obligation shall be noteless.

               (f) Interest. To the extent any amounts are funded against this line, interest shall accrue on such amounts at the Prime Rate based upon the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.

               (g) Payments. Interest on amounts funded pursuant to this Hedge Line shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date occurring after any such funding and upon any prepayment of principal. All amounts funded against this Hedge Line shall be due and payable to the Bank on the Revolving Maturity Date unless earlier due in whole or in part pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of an acceleration of the amount due or pursuant to the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 5(b) hereof.

               (h) Fees. Borrower shall pay to the Bank its standard fees for derivatives of the nature and type offered to Borrower as announced by Bank’s “Financial Risk Management Department” from time to time.

               (i) Payment to Bank. Any payment or prepayment received by Bank at any time after 12:00 noon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, time on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Interest shall cease to accrue on any principal as of the end of the day preceding the Business Day on which any such payment or prepayment is deemed hereunder to have been received by Bank.

               (j) Relationship with ISDA. Any obligation owed by the Borrower to the Bank arising under the ISDA Agreement shall (i) be deemed to be an advance against the Hedge Line established by the Credit Documents (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) for the purpose of determining the amount of available credit remaining upon which the Borrower may draw, if any; and, (ii) upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, shall also be deemed funds borrowed under the Credit Documents (as defined in the ISDA Agreement).

          2.4 Term Loan

               (a) Terms of the Term Loan. Bank agrees to make a loan (a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in a single advance of principal, in an aggregate amount not to exceed

the amount of $2,500,000.00. The Term Loan shall be subject to and payable as set forth below and to such other reasonable conditions precedent as Bank may determine with respect to loans of this type. The Borrower shall not have the right to reborrow any amount of the Term Loan repaid to the Bank. The Term Note shall be fully advanced on the Closing Date, and the amount of such advances shall be paid directly to the BancFirst. On the Closing Date, the Borrower will deliver to the Bank the executed Term Note, together with such other documentation evidencing compliance with the conditions precedent to the Term Loan as Bank may reasonably require.

               (b) Purpose of the Loan. All proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used to payoff outstanding balances at BancFirst, if needed.

               (c) Form of Term Note. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Note in the face amount of $2,500,000, and shall be in the form of Exhibit “B-2” hereto with appropriate insertions. Notwithstanding the face amount of the Term Note, the actual principal amount due from the Borrower to Bank on account of the Term Note, as of any date of computation, shall be the sum of Advances then and theretofore made on account thereof, less all principal payments actually received by Bank in collected funds with respect thereto. Although the Term Note may be dated as of the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for the period during which the loans evidenced thereby are outstanding and, although the stated amount of the Term Note may be higher, the Term Note shall be enforceable, with respect to Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal amount thereof, only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the loans.

               (d) Term Note Interest Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the Term Note calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days with respect to the unpaid principal amount of the Term Note from the date the proceeds thereof are advanced to Borrower until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), at a varying rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate (defined herein), or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus 75 basis points. Past due principal and, to the extent permitted by law, past due interest, shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

               (e) Repayment. Interest on the Term Note shall be payable on the first Interest Payment Date following any funding of this Term Loan and upon any prepayment of principal. In addition Borrower shall make a principal payment in the amount of $250,000.00 on the first Interest Payment following any funding of this Term Loan. All principal plus all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable to the Bank in full on the Term Maturity Date unless earlier due in whole or in part pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of an acceleration of the amount due or pursuant to the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 5(b) hereof.

               (f) Payment to Bank. Any payment or prepayment received by Bank at any time after 12:00 noon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, time on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Interest shall cease to accrue on any principal as of the end of the day preceding the Business Day on which any such payment or prepayment is deemed hereunder to have been received by Bank.

     3. Collateral Security. The Loans described here are unsecured. However, Borrower agrees not to pledge or otherwise hypothecate its Oil and Gas Property as further described below.

     4. Borrowing Base.

               (a) Initial Borrowing Base. At the Effective Date, the Borrowing Base shall be as described in the definition of “Borrowing Base” at Section 1 above.

               (b) Subsequent Determinations of Borrowing Base. Subsequent determinations of the Borrowing Base shall be made by the Bank at least semi-annually on December 1 and June 1 of each year beginning December 1, 2006, or as Unscheduled Redeterminations. The Borrower shall furnish to the Bank as soon as possible but in any event no later than May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2007 with an effective date of March 31 and September 30, respectively, with an engineering report in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank prepared by an independent petroleum engineering firm acceptable to Bank and, for the May 1 report, by an in-house engineering report (a third party report is not necessary for the May 1 report) covering the Oil and Gas Properties based upon PV/9 utilizing economic and pricing parameters used by Bank as established from time to time, together with such other information concerning the value of the Oil and Gas Properties as the Bank shall deem necessary to determine the value of the Oil and Gas Properties. Within thirty (30) days after either (i) receipt of notice from Bank that the Bank require an Unscheduled Redetermination, or (ii) a Borrower gives notice to Bank of its desire to have an Unscheduled Redetermination performed, the Borrower shall furnish to the Bank an engineering report in form and substance satisfactory to Bank prepared by Borrower’ in-house engineering staff valuing the Oil and Gas Properties utilizing economic and pricing parameters used by the Bank as established from time to time, together with such other information, reports and data concerning the value of the Oil and Gas Properties as Bank shall deem reasonably necessary to determine the value of such Oil and Gas Properties. Bank shall by notice to the Borrower no later than August 1 and February 1 of each year, or within a reasonable time thereafter (herein called the “Determination Date”), notify the Borrower of the designation by the Bank of the new Borrowing Base for the period beginning on such Determination Date and continuing until, but not including, the next Determination Date. If an Unscheduled Redetermination is made by the Bank, the Bank shall notify the Borrower within a reasonable time after receipt of all requested information of the new Borrowing Base and such new Borrowing Base shall continue until the next Determination Date. If the Borrower does not furnish all such information, reports and data by any date specified in this Section 4(b), the Bank may nonetheless designate the Borrowing Base at any amounts which the Bank in its reasonable discretion determines and may redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until the Bank receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon the Bank shall designate a new Borrowing Base as described above. Bank shall determine the amount of the Borrowing Base based upon the loan collateral value which Bank in its discretion (using such methodology, assumptions and discounts rates as Bank customarily uses in assigning collateral value to oil and gas properties, oil and gas gathering systems, gas processing and plant operations) assigns to such Oil and Gas Properties and other Collateral of the Borrower at the time in question and based upon such other credit factors consistently applied (including, without limitation, the assets, liabilities, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of the Borrower and its affiliates) as Bank

customarily considers in evaluating similar oil and gas credits, but Bank in its discretion shall not be required to give any additional positive value to any Oil and Gas Property over the current economic and pricing parameters used by Bank for such Determination Date which additional value is derived directly from a hedging, forward sale or swap agreement covering such Oil and Gas Property as of the date of such determination. It is expressly understood that the Bank has no obligation to designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amounts, except in the exercise of its discretion, whether in relation to the Revolving Commitment or otherwise. Provided, however, the Bank shall not have the obligation to designate a Borrowing Base in an amount in excess of the Revolving Commitment or its legal or internal lending limits.

     5. Prepayments.

               (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without penalty or premium, prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, designating at Borrower’s discretion which of the Notes to which any such prepayment is to be applied.

               (b) Mandatory Prepayment For Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event the Total Outstandings ever exceed the Borrowing Base as determined by Bank pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days after notification from the Bank, either (A) by instruments reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Bank, provide the Bank with collateral with value and quality in amounts satisfactory to the Bank in its discretion in order to increase the Borrowing Base by an amount at least equal to such excess, or (B) prepay, without premium or penalty, the principal amount of the Note in an amount at least equal to such excess plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. If the Total Outstandings ever exceed the Revolving Commitment as a result of any required reduction in the Revolving Commitment, then in such event, Borrower shall immediately prepay the principal amount of the Note in an amount at least equal to such excess plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and its officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives (singularly, an “Indemnified Party”, and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense (“Damages”) involving a claim by a person who or which is not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement (“Third Party Claim”) (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Bank, including all local counsel hired by such counsel in the event Borrower does not provide such representation as set forth below) in respect of any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation under any federal securities law, federal or state environmental law, or any other statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise, which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon any acts, practices or omissions or alleged acts, practices or omissions of the Borrower or its agents or arises in connection with the duties, obligations or performance of the Indemnified Parties in negotiating, preparing, executing, accepting, keeping, completing, countersigning, issuing, selling, delivering, releasing, assigning, handling, certifying, processing or receiving or taking any other action with respect to the Loan Documents and all documents, items and materials contemplated thereby even if any of the foregoing arises out of an Indemnified Party’s ordinary negligence. The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank hereunder or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, the expiration of the Loans and the payment of all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank hereunder and under the Notes, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 14 to the Bank with respect to any of the foregoing arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank or any other Indemnified Party.

               (b) Procedure for Indemnification.

                    (i) If any party notifies any Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Borrower under this Section 14, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Borrower shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless the Borrower is thereby prejudiced.

                    (ii) Borrower will have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice to Borrower of the Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

                    (iii) So long as the Borrower has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Borrower will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the judgment or

proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Borrower and does not impose an injunction or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party.

                    (iv) In the event Borrower does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner he, she or it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with or obtain any consent from Borrower in connection therewith) and (B) Borrower will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim.

     16. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provisions shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with any applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time and, in this regard, there shall never be taken, received, contracted for, collected, charged or received on any sums advanced hereunder interest in excess of that which would accrue at the Maximum Rate.

     If, under any circumstances, the aggregate amounts paid on the Notes or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the amount permitted if the Maximum Rate were in effect, the Borrower stipulate that such payment and collection will have been and will be deemed to have been, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws of the State of Oklahoma or the United States of America, the result of mathematical error on the part of the Borrower and the Bank; and the Bank shall promptly credit the amount of such excess to the principal amount due on the Notes, or if the principal amount due on the Note shall have been paid in full, refund the amount of such excess to the Borrower (to the extent only of such interest payments in excess of that which would have accrued and been payable on the basis of the Maximum Rate) upon discovery of such error by the Bank or notice thereof from the Borrower.

     If the maturity of the Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the Bank resulting from any Event of Default or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, or in the event any prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable laws may never include amounts which are more than the Maximum Rate, and the amount of such excess, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by the Bank as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Bank on the principal amount due on the Notes, or if the principal amount due on the Notes shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Bank to the Borrower.

     All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Bank for the use, forbearance and detention of the proceeds of any Advance hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term hereof until paid in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform but does not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the full term hereof.

     18. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by an authorized officer of the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

     20. Conflict. In the event any term or provision hereof is inconsistent with or conflicts with any provision of the Loan Documents, the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be controlling.

     21. Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents, including this Agreement, the Note or other documents and instruments referred to herein shall survive all closings hereunder and shall not be affected by any investigation made by any Party.

     22. Parties Bound.

ARE PERFORMABLE IN OKLAHOMA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR THE BANK WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED BY ANY COURT IN RESPECT THEREOF, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, COUNTY OF OKLAHOMA, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA AND THE BORROWER AND BANK HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
