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

 

     This   Amended   and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (this "Amended RCA")

is   made   effective   as   of   ________________   , 2005 ("Effective Date"), by and

between   PETROSEARCH   ENERGY   CORPORATION,   A   NEVADA   CORPORATION [SUCCESSOR BY

                                    RECITALS:

 

     A.       Effective   October   1, 2004, Lender, Borrower, Anadarko Petrosearch,

TK Petrosearch, and Guidance Petrosearch entered into a certain Revolving Credit

Agreement   (the   "Original   Credit Agreement") creating an $18,000,000.00 credit

facility   available   to   Borrower   and its subsidiaries to fund acquisitions and

development   of   its   oil   and   gas   leases in several states, including, Texas,

Oklahoma,   North   Dakota,   Montana   and   Mississippi.

 

     B.      Borrower,   with   the   consent   of   Lender, sold the assets of its TK

Petrosearch   subsidiary   to   a   third   party   effective   July   1,   2005.

 

     C.      Borrower has proposed to acquire and/or participate in ownership and

development   of   eight   (8) new prospects (the "Eight Prospect Package") with an

initial   capital   budget of $10,000,000.00 (the "Eight Prospect Capital Budget")

which   has   been   submitted   to   Lender   for   review and consideration.   Lender,

Borrower,   Anadarko   Petrosearch   and   Guidance   Petrosearch desire to amend and

restate   the   Original   Credit   Agreement to address the repayment terms for the

current   outstanding   indebtedness,   the   proposed funding of the Eight Prospect

Capital   Budget,   and the future advances, if any, under the credit facility for

other   future   prospects   made   available   to   Borrower.

 

                               TERMS OF AMENDMENT:

 

     NOW,   THEREFORE,   FOR   VALUE   RECEIVED,   the   sufficiency   of   which   is

acknowledged   by   the parties, the parties hereby amend and restate the Original

Credit   Agreement   as   follows:

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

of   this   Amended   RCA and beginning on the Effective Date, until the earlier of

the   maturity   of   the   revolving   loan,   as amended, Lender will make a loan to

     Section   1.3      OUTSTANDING LOAN BALANCE/REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE AMENDMENTS.

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

All   Advances   to   date under the Original Credit Agreement have been made under

the original Revolving Credit Note of the Borrower dated as of October 15, 2004,

payable   to   the   order of Lender, and providing for interest on the outstanding

principal   balance   as   advanced,   from time to time, at the rate of six percent

(6%)   per   annum.   The   parties   stipulate   and agree that as of and through the

Effective   Date   above,   the   outstanding and unpaid principal balance under the

original Revolving Credit Note is as follows:   $825,000.00, and that the accrued

interest   through   said   Effective   Date   which   has   accrued under the original

Revolving   Credit   Note   will   be paid upon execution of this Amended RCA.    The

parties   hereby   amend and restate the Note terms as follows and as set forth in

Sections   1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 below, which shall be evidenced by the

form   of   Amended   and   Restated   Note attached hereto and made a part hereof as

Exhibit   "A"   (the   "Amended   and   Restated Note") and the current principal and

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

interest   balance   under   the   original   Revolving Credit Note described in this

Section shall be hereafter deemed to be principal and interest outstanding under

the   Amended   and   Restated   Note:

 

 

     (a)      INTEREST   RATE.   The   Note   interest   rate   is   amended   as   of the

             --------------

     Effective   Date above to Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, as same may change

     from   time   to   time,   plus   three   percent   (3%)   per   annum.

 

     (b)      MATURITY.   The   Note   maturity is hereby extended to April 1, 2008.

             --------

     For   purposes

 

 

                                        2

<PAGE>

     hereof, the term "Maturity" shall likewise refer to the date, if ever, upon

     which Lender, after any applicable cure period, accelerates the Amended and

     Restated Note as a result of a Borrower Event of Default as defined in this

     Amended   RCA   and   in   the   Amended   and   Restated   Note.

 

     (c)      ADVANCE   CUTOFF   DATE.   Subject   to   the   provisions of Section 1.5

             ---------------------

     below, Borrower shall not request an Advance under the Amended and Restated

     Note   after   October   1,   2007.

 

     (d)       AMORTIZATION/PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL.   From and after the

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

     Effective Date, each respective Advance shall be treated as a separate loan

     for repayment purposes and each such Advance together with accrued interest

     thereon   at   the rate stated in the Amended and Restated Note shall be paid

     by   Borrower   to   Lender   as   follows:

 

     (1)       As to each specific principal Advance drawn by Borrower hereunder,

     Borrower   shall pay interest-only installments monthly to Lender commencing

     on   the   first day of the calendar month following the date of the specific

     Advance   and   continuing   on the same calendar day of each succeeding month

     thereafter for a total of six (6) monthly interest payments if the specific

     Advance   by   Lender   is   made   between the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th)

     calendar   day   of   a   month,   and for a total of seven (7) monthly interest

     payments   if   the   specific   Advance   is   made   after   the fifteenth (15th)

     calendar   day   of   a month and prior to the first (1st) calendar day of the

     following   month.

 

     (2)      As to each specific principal Advance drawn by Borrower, commencing

     on   the   first   day   of   the   calendar   month   following the last scheduled

     interest-only   payment   (whether the interest only period is six (6) months

     or   seven   (7)   months   as set forth above and unless Maturity occurs on or

     prior   to   such   date)   and   continuing   on   the   same calendar day of each

     succeeding   month   thereafter   until   Maturity (as defined above), Borrower

     shall   pay   monthly   installments   of   principal   based   upon   a   30-month

     amortization   of   that   specific   Advance   (i.e.   1/30th   of   the   specific

     principal Advance shall be paid monthly), together with the monthly accrued

     interest   on   that specific Advance as of the installment due date for that

     specific   Advance for twenty-four (24) months or until Maturity (as defined

     above),   whichever   shall be the earlier to occur, at which time the entire

     balance   of   the   specific   Advance   shall   become   due   and   payable.

 

     (3)      At   Maturity   (as   defined   above),   all   outstanding   and   unpaid

     principal   and   accrued   interest   shall   be   paid   by   Borrower to Lender.

 

     A scheduled payment date which falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday shall

     be   due   on   the next business day. [EXAMPLE: A principal Advance eight (8)

     months   prior   to   Maturity would be repayable as interest only for six (6)

     months, then one month of principal based upon a 30-month amortization plus

     interest,   and   then   on   the   8-month   anniversary the entire Advance plus

     accrued   interest   (plus all other outstanding Advances) would be repayable

     due   to   Maturity   of   the   Amended   and   Restated   Note].

<PAGE>

     (a)      BALLOON AT MATURITY.   On April 1, 2008, the Amended and Restated

             -------------------

     Note   shall   mature and Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire outstanding

     and   unpaid   principal balance of the Note and all accrued, unpaid interest

     thereon.

 

     (b)      PAYMENTS   AND   PREPAYMENTS.   Borrower   may   prepay   the   Loan   in

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

     increments of not less than $100,000.00 or more each. Any prepayments shall

     be   applied   first   to   those   fees   and   expenses   incurred   by   Lender in

     enforcement   of   the   Amended   and Restated Note, the Deed(s) of Trust, the

     Pledge   Agreement(s),   the   ORRI   assignment(s)   or   any   other   document

     evidencing   or securing the obligations of Borrower and/or its subsidiaries

     under   this   Amended   RCA or under such documents, then to accrued interest

     and   then   to   the principal balance outstanding. All principal prepayments

     shall be applied to the last ensuing installment due under the Note without

     reamortization   of   the   Note.

 

     (c)      PUT AND CALL PROVISIONS.   The Amended and Restated Note shall have

             -----------------------

     NO   put   or   call   rights   vested   in   either   Lender   or   Borrower.

 

 

     Section   1.4      COLLATERAL   FOR   AMENDED   AND   RESTATED   CREDIT LINE.   The

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

collateral   for   the   Amended and Restated Credit Line evidenced by this Amended

RCA   shall   be   (a)   subject   to   Sections   6.1 and 6.2 herein,   first and prior

lien(s)   on   the   oil   and gas leases, wells, downhole and surface equipment and

storage   tanks   and   stored   equipment on such leases as to which Lender's funds

have   been   utilized   for   acquisition and/or drilling costs referenced above in

Sections   1.2(a) and (b), including all existing lease interests in the State of

Oklahoma   and   existing   lease   interests in North Dakota (regardless of whether

Lender   funds   are   used for acquisition and/or drilling in North Dakota), which

lien(s)   are   and   shall   be   evidenced   by the form(s) of Master Deed of Trust,

Assignment   of   Production, Security Agreement, and Financing Statement attached

hereto   and   made a part hereof as EXHIBIT "B" or, as to Texas, North Dakota and

                                   -----------

Oklahoma   where   existing   Master   Deed(s)   of   Trust and applicable supplements

thereto   are   of   record, evidenced by the form of Modification and Extension of

Master   Deed   of   Trust,   Assignment   of   Production,   Security   Agreement,   and

Financing   Statement attached hereto and made a part hereof as EXHIBIT "B-1" and

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

(b)   first and prior lien(s) on Borrower's one hundred percent (100%) membership

interest   (subject   to   the   after-payout   back-in   interests   of the subsidiary

directors   of   project   development   (formerly presidents), where applicable) in

Anadarko   Petrosearch   and   any   other subsidiary holding legal title to a Lease

acquired   with   Lender's   funds, which lien(s) shall be evidenced by the form of

Pledge   Agreement   attached   hereto   and   made a part hereof as EXHIBIT "C" (the

                                                                -----------

"Pledge   Agreement").   To the extent that the jurisdiction where future acquired

properties   are   situated   requires a document which is different than the forms

attached   hereto   as   EXHIBITS "B" or "B-1" to create a first and prior lien and

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

security   interest   in   favor of Lender, then Borrower shall execute and deliver

the   form   of   document prescribed by Lender as necessary to conform to the lien

laws   of   the   applicable   jurisdiction   where the newly acquired properties are

situated.   The   Borrower   anticipates that a new or existing subsidiary shall be

created   or   dedicated to hold legal title to acquired Leases funded in whole or

in   part   with   Lender funds.    Borrower further covenants and agrees to execute

and   deliver   and/or   cause   the   applicable   subsidiary   to execute and deliver

documentation   sufficient to create and perfect first and prior lien(s) over and

upon   any

 

 

                                        4

<PAGE>

additional   oil   and   gas   lease(s)   now   existing   or hereafter acquired and/or

drilled   using   Lender   funds.   In   the   event   that   the   title   review   and/or

examination   for   newly   acquired   oil   and   gas   lease(s)   or interests therein

reflects   any   mortgage,   deeds of trust, tax lien or other apparent encumbrance

("encumbrance")   which,   if valid and existing, could impair the first and prior

status of Lender's lien(s) and security interest(s) therein, then Borrower shall

cause   such encumbrance, whether valid or otherwise, to be released of record or

shall   lawfully   bond   around   in   accordance with applicable state or local law

requirements the apparent encumbrance within sixty (60) days of the request date

for   any   Lender advance which will be used to either acquire the encumbered oil

and   gas lease(s) or reimburse Borrower or its subsidiaries for the costs of its

acquisition.   In   the event Borrower fails to cure such title encumbrance within

the   time period provided above, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cure

such   title   encumbrance   and   to   charge   the cost and expense incurred in such

curative   action   to   Borrower as an increase in the principal balance under the

Note in addition to all other rights of Lender herein and under any of the other

Loan   Documents.   Such   curative   expenses   so   advanced   shall   thereafter bear

interest   at   the   rate of eighteen (18%) per annum from the date incurred until

paid.

 

     Section   1.5.      DRAW   PERIOD   AND   AVAILABILITY   OF   LENDER   FUNDS.

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

 

          (a)      DRAW   REQUEST   PROCEDURE.   The   principal   of   the Amended and

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

     Restated   Credit   Line   may   be   drawn   by   Borrower in accordance with the

     Schedule of Advances over a twenty-four (24) month period which shall begin

     on   the   Effective Date and end on October 1, 2007 (the "Draw Period") in a

     lump   sum   or   partial   sums   pursuant   to   the   Schedule   of   Advances, in

     Borrower's   discretion,   subject   to   the   Minimum   Collateral   Coverage

     Requirements   described   in   Section 1.6 below. Principal repaid during any

     Draw   Period   may   be   redrawn   subject   to the Minimum Collateral Coverage

     limitations.   Each   draw   by   Borrower   other than the initial draw request

     shall   be   preceded by a 20-day written request (accompanied by a statement

     of the proposed use of proceeds) to Lender and shall be funded by Lender on

     the   twenty-first   (21st)   day following the request. In the event that the

     twenty-first (21st) day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, then

     the funding date shall be the next business day of Lender. Unless otherwise

     agreed   in   writing by Lender, draw requests shall be funded utilizing this

     notice   procedure   and   no   more   frequently   than monthly in amounts which

     conform   to the Schedule of Advances, unless otherwise reasonably requested

     by   Borrower   (e.g.   a   request   for   expedited funding due to an impending

                    ---

     deadline   or strong competition for a Lease) and unless otherwise agreed by

     Lender   and   Borrower.

 

          (b)      FUNDS   AVAILABILITY   DISCLOSURE.   Borrower   acknowledges,

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

     understands   and   agrees   that   Lender is a private, non-public, entity. As

     such,   Lender   obtains   its   funds   from the private capital markets and/or

     individuals   who   desire   to   participate   in   Lenders   investment   banking

     activities, thus Lender does not have a guaranteed source of money in which

     to   fund   this   transaction   with   Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that the

     volatility   of   the   capital   markets,   the   nature   of Borrower's business

     activities   and/or   other   events   which may come into existence may impact

     Lender's   ability   to raise and procure sufficient capital in order to fund

     all   or   substantially all of the Loan described in this Amended RCA. While

     Lender   will   use   its   best   efforts   to   raise   all   necessary capital to

 

 

                                         5

<PAGE>

     complete   the   funding   obligations described in this Amended RCA, the Note

     and   as   Amended   and   Restated   Credit   Line,   Lender   cannot and will not

     guaranty   to   Borrow   that   all   proposed   funding required herein, will be

     available   as,   if and when Borrower elects to make draw requests under the

     terms of this Amended RCA and/or the Note. Borrower acknowledges and agrees

     that   the   inability   of   Lender to obtain funds to complete the funding of

     this   Amended   and   Restated   Credit   Line   will not constitute a breach or

     violation   of   this Amended RCA and/or the Amended and Restated Note and/or

     any   other Loan document as defined herein on the part of Lender; provided,

     however,   that   in the event of Lender's failure to fully fund the entirety

     of   the Amended and Restated Credit Line in accordance with the Schedule of

     Advances   for   reasons   other   than   a   Borrower   default   or   a Collateral

     deficiency   relative   to   the   Minimum   Collateral   Coverage   Requirements

     described   in   Section 1.6 below, the provisions of Section 1.5 below shall

     be   applicable.

 

          (c)      EFFECT   OF FAILURE TO FUND EIGHT PROSPECT PACKAGE.   Lender and

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

     Borrower   stipulate   and   agree   that the credit facility as amended by the

     Amended and Restated Note is intended to cover the initial capital needs of

     Borrower   for   the Eight Prospect Package as depicted in the Eight Prospect

     Capital   Budget.   It   is   further   anticipated   that   Borrower   will pursue

     additional   prospect   acquisition   opportunities   in   the   future for which

     Lender funding participation may be desirable. Other than a refusal to fund

     due   to   Borrower's inability to conform to the Minimum Collateral Coverage

     Requirements   described   in Section 1.6, in the event that Lender is unable

     or   refuses to fund the Amended and Restated Credit Line in accordance with

     the   Schedule   of   Advances,   then   (i)   Borrower shall not be obligated to

     afford   Lender   the   participation   rights in future prospects described in

     Section 2.2 herein (except to the extent such future prospects have already

     been   funded   by   Lender),   and   (ii) Lender's overriding royalty interests

     described   in   Section 2.1(b) herein shall apply only to Lease acquisitions

     in   the   Eight   Prospect   Package   funded   by   Lender.   As   an   additional

     consequence of Lender's failure or refusal to fund the Amended and Restated

     Credit   Line (except in the case of Borrower default or failure to meet the

     Minimum   Collateral   Coverage Requirements), Borrower shall have the option

     to   terminate   this   Amended RCA without affecting the payment schedule for

     the Amended and Restated Note Balance and without affecting Lender's ORRI's

     earned   through   the   date   of   termination.

 

     Section 1.6.      COLLATERAL COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS.   Unless otherwise agreed

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

in   writing   by   Lender,   unused   available funds under the Amended and Restated

Credit   Line,   shall   only   be   available   for   draw by Borrower if at all times

Borrower's   Proved   Developed   Reserves   (as   defined   herein)   equal   or exceed

twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding principal and interest indebtedness

under   the   Amended   and Restated Note, and if the principal balance of the Note

outstanding   after   the   requested   draw   will   be   less than the following sum,

to-wit:   a)   the   actual   costs   of   the   oil   and gas lease(s) purchased and/or

reimbursed through the date of the requested draw with funds advanced under this

Amended   RCA,   and b) the sum of 75% of Borrower's Proved Developed Reserves (as

defined   herein)   and   50% of Borrower's Proved Undeveloped Reserves (as defined

herein)   from   all   sources   pledged   as   collateral   by the Borrower, including

 

 

                                        6

<PAGE>

subsidiaries   of   Borrower,   as   such Proved Reserves are reflected in a reserve

report   prepared   by   an   independent   petroleum   engineer   engaged by Borrower,

acceptable   to   Lender   and   otherwise   qualified   to   calculate Proved Reserves

acceptable under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") standards, and which

reserve   report   is   a "Current Reserve Report" as required by Lender under this

Section 1.6. The foregoing requirements shall be collectively referred to as the

"Minimum   Collateral   Coverage   Requirements".   Borrower   shall   be obligated to

update   reserve reports on the earlier to occur of the passage of six (6) months

from   the   date   of the previous report or upon a 15% decline in the hydrocarbon

pricing   model   utilized   in   preparation   of the current report under which the

parties   are operating.   All reserve reports must be updated in a timely fashion

to   conform to these two (2) conditions in order to be deemed a "Current Reserve

Report".   Lender   reserves   the right to engage its own engineer for preparation

of a reserve report and if a separate engineer is so engaged by Lender, Borrower

shall   in   all   respects   cooperate   with   Lender's   engineer   and   provide   all

information   requested   by said engineer to assist in preparation and generation

of   a report.   Said engineer engaged by Lender must be qualified in all respects

to   deliver   a reserve report which meets SEC standards.    If for any reason the

Minimum Collateral Coverage Requirements fall below the minimum threshold amount

described in this Section 1.6, then, within fifteen (15) days of Lender's notice

to   Borrower   of   the   deficiency,   Borrower   and   its   subsidiaries shall cause

additional   collateral   which   strictly   conforms   to   the   collateral   coverage

requirements   of   this   Section   1.6   to   be   secured, pledged and encumbered by

Lender's   first   and   prior   lien(s) and security interest(s), all at Borrower's

expense,   or   the   Borrower   may   prepay a portion of the outstanding loan in an

amount sufficient to bring the balance into compliance with the requirements set

forth above.   For purposes of this Section 1.6, the terms "Proved Developed" and

"Proved   Undeveloped"   Reserves   shall have the meanings set forth in Regulation

S-X   ("Accounting   Rules   Form   and Content of Financial Statements"), Rule 4-10

("Financial   Accounting   and   Reporting   for   Oil   and   Gas Producing Activities

Pursuant   to   the Federal Securities Laws and the Energy Policy and Conservation

Act   of   1975")   as   follows:

 

          PROVED   DEVELOPED   OIL AND GAS RESERVES. Proved developed oil and

          gas   reserves   are   reserves that can be expected to be recovered

          through   existing   wells   with   existing   equipment and operating

          methods.   Additional   oil and gas expected to be obtained through

          the   application   of   fluid   injection or other improved recovery

          techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of

          primary   recovery should be included as proved developed reserves

          only   after   testing by a pilot project or after the operation of

          an   installed   program   has confirmed through production response

          that   increased   recovery   will   be   achieved.

 

          PROVED   UNDEVELOPED   RESERVES.   Proved   undeveloped   oil   and gas

          reserves   are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new

          wells   on   undrilled   acreage,   or   from   existing   wells where a

          relatively   major   expenditure   is   required   for   recompletion.

          Reserves   on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those drilling

          units   offsetting productive units that are reasonably certain of

          production   when   drilled.   Proved   reserves   for other undrilled

          units   can   be   claimed   only   where   it can be demonstrated with

          certainty   that   there   is   continuity   of   production   from   the

          existing   productive   formation.   Under   no   circumstances should

          estimates   for

 

                                        7

<PAGE>

          proved   undeveloped   reserves   be attributable to any acreage for

          which   an   application   of   fluid   injection   or   other   improved

          recovery   technique   is contemplated, unless such techniques have

          been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same

          reservoir.

 

     Section   1.7.      LENDER   STANDBY FEES FOR UNDRAWN PRINCIPAL.   Lender shall

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

charge   quarter-annually   to   Borrower   and   Borrower   shall   pay   to Lender, as

invoiced,   a   standby   fee   equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) [i.e. 1%

annually]   of   the funds available to be drawn under the Schedule of Advances in

effect   at   the   time   which   are   not   drawn by Borrower.    Funds which are not

available to be drawn either because of (i) limitations imposed by Lender due to

deficiency   in   the   Minimum   Collateral Coverage Requirements, or (ii) Lender's
