VIII. The Agreement is hereby amended to provide for a new Article Fifteen. Said
Article Fifteen is hereby stated as follows:
Article Fifteen
Optional Repurchase/Redemption Provisions
Section 15.1. Optional Repurchase Right.
----------------------------------------
Any Unit Holder or Substituted Limited Partner shall have the
right, at his option, to present his Units to the General Partner or
its designated Affiliate for repurchase on the basis set forth in
this Article Fifteen.
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 Unit Holders' Units 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 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 Unit Holders pursuant to Section 10.4C of the
Agreement.
-3-
Future gross revenues expected to be derived from the production
and sale of the Proved Reserves attributable to the 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 Unit Holders pursuant to
this Article Fifteen, 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.
-4-
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 Unit
Holder of the Repurchase Price and his proportionate share thereof
and either the General Partner or one of its Affiliates will offer
to purchase such Unit Holder's Units in exchange for such Unit
Holder's proportionate share of the Repurchase Price (a "Repurchase
Offer"). Any Unit Holder desiring to do so may accept such
Repurchase Offer by notifying the General Partner of his election.
Unit Holders so notifying the General Partner shall be referred to
herein as "Electing Unit Holders". The General Partner or its
designated Affiliate shall thereupon promptly pay to each Electing
Unit Holder, 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 Unit Holder'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 Unit Holder's Units, 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 Unit Holders 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 Unit Holders at least ten
(10) business days prior to acceptance of Units for purchase.
-5-
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, (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 Unit Holders or (ii) provide
all Unit Holders 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 Units to be repurchased in the Partnership, and the
amount of Units tendered, but not repurchased, exceeds such
limitation, such tendered Units 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 Units 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 Unit Holder of the reasons therefor and shall provide the
Electing Unit Holder with the option to withdraw his tender of Units
for repurchase.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands as
of the 4th day of August, 1993.
