(“Sunoco”), has paid all royalties due under the Leases or has suspended such royalty payments in Sunoco’s financial accounts under title or division order conditions determined solely by Sunoco to justify such suspense, and during the time that Seller has claimed to own interests in the Leases, Seller has not received any notice, written or otherwise, from Sunoco that any party has claimed that royalties are due and unpaid .

3.8                To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except for those Leases located in the Champion Choate Survey (the “Gulf Fee Leases”) there are no consents required for Seller to transfer and convey all or any portion of title to the Leases, and there are no rights in third parties which would preclude Seller from  transferring all or any portion of title to the Leases.

3.9                Seller possesses all licenses, permits, certificates, orders, approvals and authorizations necessary from any governmental entity having jurisdiction to own and to operate the Interests and to carry on its business as now conducted, and Seller has not received any notice from any governmental entity having jurisdiction that Seller does not possess any licenses, permits, certificates, orders, approvals and authorizations necessary to own the Interests and to carry on its business as now conducted.

3.10              The information furnished to Purchaser by Seller that Seller received from its predecessors in ownership of the Interests or from third party sources (such information including, but not limited to maps, plats, well logs, core analyses and sections, production data, operating expenses, net revenue interests and working interests, gas-condensate oil ratios, seismic and geological data, surface and subsurface maps, third party reversionary

5

rights, burdens and encumbrances), is comprised of either the originals of such information or true and correct copies of such information as received by Seller and Seller did not withhold any information which if known by Purchaser would have caused Purchaser to credit less reserves to the Leases and the Lands or to change the classification of such reserves, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there have been no changes subsequent to the furnishing of such information to Purchaser that would affect the current accuracy or completeness of the information heretofore furnished Purchaser in any material respect.

3.11              To the knowledge of Seller, there have been no claims, demands or allegations that the Interests, or any part thereof, have been operated in violation of any law relating to environmental conditions and industrial hygiene, including, without limitation, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901, et seq., the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9657, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (“SARA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. §§ 6901, et seq., the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251, et seq., the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 741, et seq., the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 7401, the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2629, the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300F - 300J, and all similar federal, state and local environmental statutes, ordinances and the regulations, orders and decrees now or hereafter promulgated thereunder.

3.12              All reports required to be filed with the Railroad Commission of Texas by Seller have been properly filed (or will be filed when due, giving due regard to any extensions for filing that might be granted to Seller by the Railroad Commission of Texas), and are (or, in the case of filings made under extensions, will be) available on line, and will continue to be filed by Seller as required by any rule or regulation of the Railroad Commission of Texas.

Promise to Pay: FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee or the holder hereof at the place for payment and according to the terms of payment, the principal amount plus interest at the rates stated above. All unpaid amounts shall be due on or before the maturity date set forth in Terms of Payment (principal and interest) above.

Waiver by Maker: On default in the payment of this Real Estate Lien Note or in the performance of any obligation in any instrument securing or collateral to it (including specifically, but not limited to, the Deed of Trust), the unpaid principal balance and earned interest on this Real Estate Lien Note shall become immediately due at the election of Payee. Maker and each surety, endorser and guarantor waive all demands for payment, presentation for payment, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, notices of acceleration of maturity, protests, notices of protest and notices of acceleration.

Attorneys’ Fees and Costs: If this Real Estate Lien Note or any instrument securing or collateral to it is given to an attorney for collection or enforcement, or if suit is brought for collection or enforcement, or if it is collected or enforced through probate, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceeding, then Maker shall pay Payee all costs of collection and enforcement,

Page A-1

including Payee’s attorneys’ fees and court and other costs, in addition to other amounts due hereunder.

Nonusury: Interest on the debt evidenced by this Real Estate Lien Note shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess shall be cancelled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the debt.

Nouns and Pronouns: When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.

Right to Determine Order of Application of Payments From Default Remedies: Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Property held by Payee or by any other party, Payee shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Payee shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the portions of the indebtedness are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the default remedies. Maker, any party who consents to this Real Estate Lien Note or any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property and who has actual or constructive notice hereof hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

Time of the Essence: It is expressly agreed that time is of the essence and that acceptance by Payee of late payment(s) on one or several occasions shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the requirement of punctual payment of amounts required to be paid herein, and shall not estop or preclude the Payee’s election to accelerate this Real Estate Lien Note for any subsequent default in timely payment(s).

Payment of Taxes: From and after the date of this Real Estate Lien Note, Maker shall be liable for and shall timely pay all ad valorem, personal property, and other taxes, if any, as they become due on the Property during the full term of this Real Estate Lien Note. Maker acknowledges and agrees that the tax payments required herein are separate and apart from and do not in any way relate to the required payments of principal and interest or other amounts due hereunder, and that such tax payments are due in addition to such principal, interest or other payments to Payee as may be required hereunder. A tax payment made by Maker shall not liquidate indebtedness under this Real Estate Lien Note, and a payment of principal, interest or any other amount due under this Real Estate Lien Note shall not be, nor shall it be construed to be, a tax payment. Further, Maker acknowledges and agrees that a default by it in the punctual payment when due of a required tax payment as above provided shall also be a default under this Real Estate Lien Note and any instrument securing or collateral to it (including specifically, but not limited to, the Deed of Trust). Payee, at Payee’s sole option, may, but is not required to, make any past-due tax payment(s) in order to protect Payee’s security position in the real estate described herein. Any payment so made shall automatically be added to this Real Estate Lien

Page A-1

Note as additional principal due hereunder and the amount(s) of any such payment shall accrue interest hereunder at the default interest rate of 16% per annum until repaid by Maker.

Page A-1

Assignment of this Real Estate Lien Note: It is expressly understood that Payee (and/or its successors and assigns, if any, hereunder) or any subsequent holder hereof, may, without any prior notice of any kind to Maker, sell or assign all or any portion of this Real Estate Lien Note or all or any portion of Payee’s rights and benefits hereunder (together with Payee’s rights and benefits under any Deed of Trust or other security or security interest given by Maker in connection herewith) and place this Real Estate Lien Note in the stream of commerce. Therefore, any reference herein to Payee or holder shall be deemed to include the then-current owner and holder of this note.

Prior Lien(s) (including recording information): None

Other Exceptions to Conveyance and Warranty:  This conveyance is subject to all instruments or matters which are of record in the office of the County Clerk of Hardin County, Texas, affecting the Property above described and that are valid and subsisting as of the date hereof.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and to secure payment of the Real Estate Lien Note, Grantor conveys the property to Trustee in trust.  If Grantor performs all the covenants and pays the Real Estate Lien Note according to its terms, this deed of trust shall have no further effect, and Beneficiary shall release it at Grantor’s expense.

Grantor’s Obligations

Grantor agrees to:

1.     Keep the property in good repair and condition;

3.     Pay all taxes and assessments on the Property when due and in accordance with the procedures set out in the Real Estate Lien Note;

3.     Preserve the lien’s priority as it is established in this deed of trust;

5.     Refrain from spudding any new well on the land covered by the Property until all amounts due under the Real Estate Lien Note have been paid in full to Beneficiary.

Page A-1

Beneficiary’s Rights

1.             Beneficiary may appoint in writing a substitute or successor trustee, succeeding to all rights and responsibilities of Trustee.

2.             If Grantor fails to perform any of Grantor’s obligations, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2010, by and between Grantor and Beneficiary, Beneficiary may perform those obligations and be reimbursed by Grantor on demand at the place where the Real Estate Lien Note is payable for any sums so paid, including attorneys’ fees, plus interest on those sums from the dates of payment at the rate stated in the note for matured, unpaid amounts.  The sum to be reimbursed shall be secured by this deed of trust.

3.             If Grantor defaults on the Real Estate Lien Note or fails to perform any of Grantor’s obligations, including those obligations in Section 9.3 of the Purchase Agreement, hereunder and the default continues after Beneficiary gives Grantor notice of the default and the time within which it must be cured, as may be required by law or by written agreement, then Beneficiary may:

a.     declare the unpaid principal balance and earned interest on the Real Estate Lien Note immediately due;

b.     request Trustee to foreclose this lien, in which case Beneficiary or Beneficiary’s agent shall give notice of the foreclosure sale as provided by the Texas Property Code as then amended; and

c.     purchase the property at any foreclosure sale by offering the highest bid and then have the bid credited on the note.

4.             If Grantor sells, transfers or conveys all or any part of the above described Property without the express written consent of Beneficiary, then Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable.  Beneficiary, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion and without any duty or obligation to do so, may waive such option to accelerate, if, prior to any transfers, the proposed transferee has executed a written assumption agreement accepted in writing by Beneficiary, containing such terms as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion may require, including without limitation, an increase in the rate of interest payable on the indebtedness and/or a modification of the maturity of the indebtedness, and/or a transfer fee.

Trustee’s Duties

    If requested by Beneficiary to foreclose this lien, Trustee shall:

1.             Either personally or by agent give notice of the foreclosure sale as required by the Texas Property Code as then amended;

2.             Sell and convey all or part of the Property to the highest bidder for  cash with a special  warranty binding Grantor, subject to prior liens and to other exceptions to conveyance and warranty; and,

Page A-1

3.             From the proceeds of the sale, pay, in this order:

a.     expenses of foreclosure, including a commission to Trustee of 5% of the bid;

b.     to Beneficiary, the full amount of principal, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other charges due and unpaid;

c.     any amounts required by law to be paid before payment to Grantor; and

d.     to Grantor, any balance.

General Provisions

1.             If any of the Property is sold under this deed of trust, Grantor shall immediately surrender possession to the purchaser.  If Grantor fails to do so, Grantor shall become a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, subject to an action for forcible detainer.

2.             Recitals in any Trustee’s deed conveying the Property will be presumed to be true.

3.             Proceeding under this deed of trust, filing suit for foreclosure, or pursuing any other remedy will not constitute an election of remedies.

4.             This lien shall remain superior to liens later created even if the time of payment of all or part of the note is extended or part of the property is released.

5.             If any portion of the Real Estate Lien Note cannot be lawfully secured by this deed of trust, payments shall be applied first to discharge that portion.

6.             Grantor assigns to Beneficiary absolutely, not only as collateral, all present and future rent and other income and receipts from the Property, including without limitation all proceeds from the sale of oil, natural gas or other hydrocarbons.  Grantor warrants the validity and enforceability of the assignment just made in the preceding sentence.  Grantor may, as Beneficiary’s licensee, collect all rent and other income and receipts as long as Grantor is not in default under the Real Estate Lien Note or this deed of trust.  Grantor will apply all rent, proceeds of production, and other income and receipts to payment of the Real Estate Lien Note and performance of this deed of trust, but if the rent, proceeds of production, and other income and receipts exceed the amount due under the Real Estate Lien Note and deed of trust, Grantor may retain the excess.  If Grantor defaults in payment of the Real Estate Lien Note or performance of this deed of trust, Beneficiary may terminate Grantor’s right to collect and then as Grantor’s agent may collect all rent, proceeds of production, and other income and receipts from the Property. Beneficiary may exercise Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this paragraph without taking possession of the Property.  Beneficiary shall apply all rent, proceeds of production, and other income and receipts collected under this paragraph first to expenses incurred in exercising Beneficiary’s rights and remedies and then to Grantor’s obligations under the Real Estate Lien Note and this deed of trust in the order determined by Beneficiary.  Beneficiary is not required to act under this paragraph, and acting under this paragraph does not

Page A-1

waive any of Beneficiary’s other rights or remedies.  If Grantor becomes a voluntary or involuntary bankrupt, Beneficiary’s filing a proof of claim in bankruptcy will be tantamount to the appointment of receiver under Texas law.

7.             Interest on the debt secured by this deed of trust shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded.  On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid, refunded.  This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the debt.

8.             When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.

9.             The term Real Estate Lien Note includes all sums secured by this deed of trust.

10.           This deed of trust shall bind, inure to the benefit of, and be exercised by successors in interest of all parties.

11.           Grantor represents that this deed of trust and the Real Estate Lien Note are given for the following purposes: As security and consideration, respectively, for Grantor=s purchase as a business property (oil and gas property) of the real estate described as Property on pages 1 and 2 of this deed of trust.

All terms used in this instrument shall have the meanings or shall represent the parties defined and represented above.

This instrument was acknowledged before me on October         , 2010, by Warren Dillard, President of Vanguard Energy Corporation, a Colorado corporation, who further acknowledged that he executed the forgoing as the valid act and deed of the corporation.
