Having considered the Debtors  Emergency Motion for Interim Order Authorizing the Debtors to Enter into Postpetition Financing Agreement and Obtain Postpetition Financing (the "Motion")1; the Declaration of Dorothea Krempein in Support of Voluntary Petitions, First Day Motions, Designation as Complex Bankruptcy Case, and the evidence and arguments presented at the Interim Hearing and Final Hearing, the Court finds that: (a) jurisdiction over the matters in the Motion is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1334 and 157; (b) venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1408 and 1409; (c) proper and adequate notice of the Motion has been provided and no further notice is needed; (d) the relief sought in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtors  estates, their creditors and all parties-in-interest; and (e) good and sufficient cause exists for granting the relief requested in the Motion. Further, IT IS HEREBY FOUND THAT:
 
A. On May 13, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), Energytec, Inc. ("Energytec") and Comanche Well Service Corporation ("Comanche"), debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the "Debtors") commenced these cases (the "Case") by filing voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").

B. The Debtors are unable to obtain any unsecured credit allowable under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense, or to obtain secured credit, allowable under sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3), and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, except under the terms and conditions provided in this Order.
 
C. The Debtors are unable to obtain credit for borrowed money without granting liens on various of the Debtors' assets pursuant to sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, as provided by this Order.
 
D. The relief requested in the Motion is necessary, essential, and appropriate for the continued operation of their business.
 
E. Red River Resources, Inc. ("Red River" or the "DIP Lender") has agreed to lend up to $1,500,000 to the Debtors (the "DIP Loan") secured by the Collateral (as defined in the DIP Loan Agreement2) pursuant to a loan agreement (the "DIP Loan Agreement") and subject to the following conditions:

are fair and reasonable, and are believed by the Debtors to be the best available under the circumstances.
 
H. The terms of this Order were negotiated in good faith and at arm's length between the Debtors, on the one hand, and Red River, on the other hand. The loan advances to be made under the DIP Loan will be extended in good faith, in consequence of which Red River is entitled to the protection and benefits of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
I. The Debtors  counsel has certified that a copy of the Motion and notice of the initial preliminary hearing (the "Interim Hearing") on the Motion have been served either by the Court's Electronic Filing System ("ECF"), electronic mail, telecopy transmission, hand delivery, overnight courier or first class United States mail upon the Office of the United States Trustee (the "U.S. Trustee"), Red River and all creditors known to have any liens against the Debtors  assets.
 
J. On May 14, 2009, this Court held the Interim Hearing and on June 9, 2009 entered an interim order (the "Interim Order") that, among other things, (1) authorized the Debtors, on an interim basis, to borrow from Red River pursuant to the DIP Loan, (2) granted the adequate protection described in the Interim Order, and (3) scheduled a final hearing (the "Final Hearing") to consider entry of a final order authorizing the balance of the DIP Loan, as set forth in the Motion and the related DIP documents.
 
K. Due and appropriate Notice of the Motion, the final relief requested therein, the Final Hearing, as well as on the Interim Order, having been served by the Debtors.
 
L. Good cause has been shown for the entry of this Order and authorization for the Debtors to obtain loans and other credit from Red River pursuant to the DIP Loan Agreement, attached as Exhibit A to the Motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(2). The Debtors  need

for financing of the type afforded by the DIP Loan Agreement is immediate and critical. Entry of this Order will enable the Debtors to preserve the assets of these bankruptcy estates, will increase the possibility of a successful sale of the Collateral and is in the best interests of the creditors of the estates.
