Part 6. Terms of Transactions

(a)	Fallback Price, Etc.

(i)

With respect to Transactions with a Calculation Period consisting of eight or more Commodity Business Days, if a Commodity Reference Price that would normally be determinable is not available or would not produce a commercially reasonable result on any Commodity Business Day, then the Commodity Reference Price shall be the Commodity Reference Price published on the next Commodity Business Day, provided that if the Commodity Reference Price is not available for eight (8) consecutive Commodity Business Days in that Calculation Period, then the Commodity Reference Price shall be calculated on the basis of the fallback price, if any, specified in the applicable Confirmation (the “Fallback Price”).

If such agreement is not reached by the parties within three (3) business days, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine such Commodity Reference Prices by taking the average of the price quotations for the relevant Commodity and the relevant Commodity Business Days obtained from at least two and no more than four internationally recognized dealers in such Commodity, as selected by ▇▇▇▇.

(ii)

With respect to Transactions with a Calculation Period consisting of less than eight Commodity Business Days, if a Commodity Reference Price that would

normally be determinable is not available or would not produce a commercially reasonable result on any Commodity Business Day, then the Commodity Reference Price shall be calculated on the basis of the Fallback Price, if any, specified in the applicable Confirmation. If no such Fallback Price is specified, the parties shall promptly endeavor to agree on an alternative source for determination of such Commodity Reference Price for that day. If such agreement is not reached by the parties within three (3) business days, ▇▇▇▇ shall determine such Commodity Reference Prices by taking the average of the price quotations for the relevant Commodity and the relevant Commodity Business Days obtained from at least two and no more than four internationally recognized dealers in such Commodity, as selected by ▇▇▇▇.

Part 7. Covered Transaction Provisions

Preliminary Statements. Counterparty wishes to enter into certain natural gas derivative transactions with ▇▇▇▇ from time to time to hedge certain volumes of natural gas production of Counterparty and certain of its Affiliates, and ▇▇▇▇ has agreed to provide pricing to Counterparty for such transactions, all on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. To induce ▇▇▇▇ to enter into this Agreement, Counterparty has agreed to provide credit support to ▇▇▇▇ in the form of mortgages, guaranties and other security documents. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Part 7.

(b)	Certain Definitions. Certain terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in clause (t) below. An index of certain defined terms and the page numbers on which such terms are defined is attached as Annex A to this Agreement.

(c)

Scope of Master Agreement. This Agreement shall apply to all Specified Natural Gas Transactions entered into between ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty (so long as the conditions set forth in clause (d) below are satisfied both prior to and after giving effect to such Transaction) (each, a “Conforming Transaction”), and shall not apply to any other Transactions entered into between ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇ may, in its sole discretion, elect to include a Transaction which is not a Conforming Transaction evidenced by long form Confirmations within the scope of this Agreement under terms, including extraordinary terms to be set by ▇▇▇▇, to be agreed by ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty.

(d)

Certain Conditions for Entering into Covered Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree that ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty may enter into Covered Transactions with each other at any time and from time to time during the Trading Period (if each of ▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty mutually agree in their sole discretion to do so), provided that each of the following conditions are satisfied (or if not satisfied, waived by ▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion) both prior to and after giving effect to such Transaction:

(6)

The Value of the Reserve Collateral divided by the Covered Transactions ▇▇▇▇-to-Market Amount is projected to be equal to or greater than the Reserve Collateral Ratio at all times. For purposes of this provision, ▇▇▇▇ will apply the future commodity market price scenarios used in the calculation of Covered Transactions PFE to calculate, for each scenario, the Value of the Reserve Collateral and the Covered Transactions ▇▇▇▇-to-Market Amount and each entry into a Covered Transaction by Counterparty hereunder shall be deemed to be a certification by Counterparty that other than with respect to (6) each of the foregoing conditions is satisfied.

▇▇▇▇ and Counterparty agree not to enter into any Transaction under this Agreement that includes a swap that, evaluated in isolation from any other components of such Transaction (including options, other swaps, floors, collars and the like), is not based on "costless" swap prices prevailing at the time of such Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that Counterparty may from time to time request ▇▇▇▇ to enter into one or more Transactions under this Agreement with swap prices above or below the "costless" swap prices prevailing at the time such Transaction is entered into and if such adjustment to such swap prices results from an embedded option (sold or purchased) included in such Transaction then such Transactions (and other similar transactions) are expressly permitted under this Agreement.

(e)

Voluntary Termination. Upon not less than 60 days' prior written notice to ▇▇▇▇, Counterparty may (if in its sole discretion it elects to do so) terminate the Trading Period (and, accordingly, terminate the ability of the parties to enter into further Covered Transactions hereunder and the obligations of ▇▇▇▇ under clause (d) above) without any penalty or other damage payment to ▇▇▇▇ (such termination, the "Voluntary Trading Period Termination", and the effective date of such termination, the "Voluntary Trading Period Termination Date"), provided that:

(1)	Counterparty shall pay to ▇▇▇▇ the Breakage Fee (if any) in accordance with clause (f)(2) below; and

(2)

such Voluntary Trading Period Termination shall not affect the rights or obligations of ▇▇▇▇ or Counterparty under any Covered Transactions then outstanding under this Agreement, which Transactions shall continue to be governed by all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Secured Trading Line Documents.

(f)	Secured Trading Line Fees. Counterparty hereby agrees to pay to ▇▇▇▇ the following fees:

(1)	no Price Hedge has, or fixes a price for, a term including any month later than 60 months from the date such Price Hedge is entered into;

GUARANTY dated as of May [ __], 2005, made by CHESAPEAKE ENERGY CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma (the "Parent Guarantor"), and each of the Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor identified under the caption "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS" on the signature pages hereto and any other Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that becomes a party hereto from time to time after the date hereof (each individually, a "Subsidiary Guarantor" and, collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors", and together with the Parent Guarantor, the "Guarantors"), in favor of ▇. ▇▇▇▇ & COMPANY, a general partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York ("▇▇▇▇"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Master Agreement referred to below, and definitions and other terms used herein shall be construed in the manner specified in the introductory paragraph in clause (u) of Part 7 of the Schedule to the Master Agreement.

▇▇▇▇ and the Counterparties listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, “Counterparty”), acting by and through Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, have entered into a Master Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, by any confirmation contemplated therein or otherwise, the "Master Agreement"), and it is a requirement of the Master Agreement that the Guarantors deliver this Guaranty for Counterparty's obligations to ▇▇▇▇ under the Master Agreement and the other Secured Trading Line Documents.

Accordingly, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and as an inducement to ▇▇▇▇ to enter into the Master Agreement and the Covered Transactions permitted pursuant to Part 7 thereunder, each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees as follows:

Section 1. The Guaranty.

1.01. The Guaranty. The Guarantors unconditionally, irrevocably and jointly and severally guarantee to ▇▇▇▇ and its successors and assigns payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of the full amount of any and all obligations and liabilities, direct or contingent, joint, several or independent, now or hereafter existing, due or to become due to, or held or to be held by, ▇▇▇▇, whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, of Counterparty to ▇▇▇▇ arising from or in connection with the Master Agreement and the other Secured Trading Line Documents, together with all expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇ in enforcing any of such obligations and liabilities or the terms hereof, including fees and expenses of legal counsel (all of the foregoing obligations, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Each of the Guarantors waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any obligation to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof, and waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor or non-payment, protest, notice of protest, of any such obligations, suit or taking other action by ▇▇▇▇ against, and giving any notice of default or other notice to, or making any demand on, any party liable thereon (including the Guarantors). Payment by the Guarantors is in all cases to be made in the Contractual Currency of the payment obligation of Counterparty and to the account designated for payments by Counterparty or such other account as ▇▇▇▇ may direct.

1.02. Obligations Unconditional.

- 2 -

(a) This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each of the Guarantors and is an absolute, unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and joint and several guaranty of payment and not of collectibility or performance and is in no way conditioned on or contingent upon any attempt to enforce in whole or in part the Guaranteed Obligations. If Counterparty shall fail to pay any Guaranteed Obligations to ▇▇▇▇ as and when they are due, the Guarantors shall forthwith pay such Guaranteed Obligations in immediately available funds without ▇▇▇▇ having any obligation to notify any of the Guarantors of such failure to pay. Each failure by Counterparty to pay any Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action herewith, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

(b) ▇▇▇▇ may, at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, except such notice as may be required by applicable statute which cannot be waived, without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part, (i) change the manner, place and terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, or alter any Guaranteed Obligation, or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof or in any manner modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Master Agreement, the other Secured Trading Line Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection therewith, including with respect to security or collateral, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the obligations and liabilities of Counterparty, as so changed, extended, renewed, modified, amended, supplemented or altered in any manner, (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Counterparty or others (including the Guarantors) or otherwise act or refrain from acting, including with respect to security or collateral, (iii) settle or compromise any Guaranteed Obligations and/or any obligations and liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, (iv) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner or in any order any property by whomsoever pledged or mortgaged to secure or howsoever securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities or obligations incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof and/or any offset thereagainst and (v) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations regardless of what other portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid.

(c) No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, ineffectiveness of, or absence or failure of first priority status of, any security interest in property of Counterparty or any Credit Support Provider intended to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, or incapacity of Counterparty, shall affect, impair, or be a defense to this Guaranty, which is a primary obligation of each of the Guarantors.

(d) This Guaranty shall not be affected by the occurrence of any Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event, by the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving Counterparty or any Guarantor, by any change in the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction or by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Credit Support Document or by any other circumstance (other than complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or a guarantor.

(e) Except as otherwise required by law, each payment required to be made by the Guarantors to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If such deduction or withholding is so required, the Guarantors shall (i) pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the appropriate authorities before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, (ii) promptly forward to ▇▇▇▇ an official receipt evidencing such payment (or a certified copy

- 3 -

thereof), and (iii) in the case of any such deduction or withholding, forthwith pay to ▇▇▇▇ such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by ▇▇▇▇ free and clear of such Taxes, including any Taxes on such additional amount, is equal to the amount that ▇▇▇▇ would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding.

(f) The provisions of Section 8 of the Master Agreement shall apply to amounts payable under this Guaranty as fully as if they were set forth in and referred to this Guaranty.

1.03. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall be reinstated if at any time (including any time after its termination or expiration) any payment by Counterparty or any Guarantor, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by ▇▇▇▇ upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Counterparty or such Guarantor or otherwise, all as though that payment had not been made and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify ▇▇▇▇ on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of legal counsel) incurred by ▇▇▇▇ in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

1.04. Subrogation. So long as any amount payable by Counterparty under the Master Agreement or any other Secured Trading Line Document is overdue and unpaid, no Guarantor shall (i) exercise any right of subrogation or indemnity, or similar right or remedy, against Counterparty or any of its assets or property in respect of any amount paid by such Guarantor under this Guaranty nor (ii) file a proof of claim in competition with ▇▇▇▇ for any amount owing to the insolvency or liquidation of Counterparty. If at any time when any such amount is overdue and unpaid any Guarantor receives any amount as a result of any action against Counterparty or any of its property or assets or otherwise for or on account of any payment made by such Guarantor under this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall forthwith pay that amount received by it to ▇▇▇▇ to be credited and applied against the amount so payable by Counterparty.

1.05. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and ▇▇▇▇, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable, or shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable, for purposes of Section 1.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Counterparty and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by Counterparty) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 1.01. If any amount payable by any Guarantor hereunder is not paid as and when due, such Guarantor authorizes ▇▇▇▇ to proceed, without prior notice, by right of set-off, counterclaim or otherwise, against any assets of such Guarantor that may at the time be in the possession of ▇▇▇▇ (at any branch or office), to the full extent of all amounts payable to ▇▇▇▇ hereunder.

1.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money; Default Interest. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guaranty in this Section 1 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that ▇▇▇▇, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to New York CPLR Section 3213. In addition, each Guarantor hereby agrees that in the event it shall fail to pay in full any amount owing by it hereunder on the date upon which the same shall become due (whether upon demand or otherwise), it shall be obligated to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of such amount for each day during the period from and including

- 4 -

the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same shall be paid in full, such interest to be payable upon demand of ▇▇▇▇.

1.07. Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing Guaranty and all obligations to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.

1.08. Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations (or as a result of application of proceeds realized on collateral pledged by such Subsidiary Guarantor to ▇▇▇▇), each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor's Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 1.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 1 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section 1.08, (i) "Excess Funding Guarantor" means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) "Excess Payment" means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) "Pro Rata Share" means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Counterparty and the Guarantors hereunder) of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

1.09. General Limitation on Guaranty Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 1.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 1.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 1.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, ▇▇▇▇ or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

- 5 -

4.02. No Waiver. No failure on the part of ▇▇▇▇ to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by ▇▇▇▇ of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
