(c) GasRock hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Swap Counterparty is an “Approved Counterparty” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, (ii) the October 2007 ISDA, together with all transactions entered into thereunder, is a Permitted Swap Agreement, and (iii) Borrower is authorized to enter into the Swap Documents with Swap Counterparty in accordance with Section 7.2(s) of the Credit Agreement.
 
3.    Appointment of GasRock as Agent. Swap Counterparty hereby appoints GasRock to act as its agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), in its name and on its behalf, in and under each of the Security Documents, to hold the Lien on the Collateral, with power of sale, in its name for the benefit and security of GasRock and Swap Counterparty and for enforcement and payment of the Loan Obligations and the Swap Obligations, respectively; to take such action on behalf of GasRock and Swap Counterparty under the terms and provisions of the Security Documents and to exercise such rights and remedies under the Security Documents as are specifically delegated to or required of GasRock under the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Agent shall, as soon as commercially practical, distribute to GasRock and Swap Counterparty their Ratable share of all Proceeds in accordance with Section 6 below.
 
4.    Release of Collateral. Agent, in its capacity as beneficiary and mortgagee under the Security Documents, may not release any Collateral from the Lien created under any of the Security Documents unless such release (i) is in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents, and in no event may releases of Borrower’s fee or leasehold interest in any Hydrocarbons included as Collateral during any twelve (12) consecutive months exceed five percent (5%) of the discounted present value of all proved Hydrocarbons included as Collateral without the prior written consent of GasRock and Swap Counterparty, or (ii) occurs in connection with the indefeasible payment in full of all Loan Obligations (other than obligations under any royalty interest or overriding royalty interest or any indemnity obligations which survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) while no Default has occurred or is continuing, but only to the extent that Borrower has provided to the Swap Counterparty a first priority lien on replacement Collateral (or alternate form of acceptable credit support) in support of all Swap Obligations in form, substance and amount acceptable to the Swap Counterparty.
 
5.    Termination of Agent’s Authority. Upon becoming aware of a Default, Swap Counterparty or GasRock shall notify the other in writing. Swap Counterparty’s notification of GasRock shall constitute the Agent’s notification hereunder so long as Agent and GasRock are one in the same. A Default notification by Swap Counterparty shall contain a request that action be taken by Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. If Agent fails to take any reasonably requested action under the Security Documents following a Default under the Swap Documents and within a reasonable time after being requested to do so by Swap Counterparty, or if Agent fails to diligently pursue such action to the reasonable satisfaction of Swap Counterparty, Agent’s authority to act on behalf of Swap Counterparty may be terminated by Swap Counterparty upon thirty (30) days written notice to Agent and to Borrower. After any such termination (but not before), Swap Counterparty may file such Liens and take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable to secure and enforce the Swap Obligations owed to Swap Counterparty. To the extent that any such Swap Counterparty files and perfects any Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Swap Obligations owed to it, the Lien held by Agent on the Collateral to secure the Loan Obligations shall be pari passu with any Lien hereafter existing in favor of such Swap Counterparty to secure all or any part of the Swap Obligations owed to it, notwithstanding (i) the date, manner or order of any grant, attachment, or perfection of any such Lien on the Collateral, (ii) any provision of the UCC, other applicable law, the Loan Documents, or the Swap Documents, or (iii) any manner of enforcement of any Lien or other rights.
 
5

 
6.    Proceeds. All Proceeds received by Swap Counterparty or GasRock, individually or in its capacity as Agent under this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with this Section 6. To the extent either GasRock or Swap Counterparty ever receives any portion of such proceeds in excess of its Ratable share (or to the extent GasRock, in its capacity as Agent, receives reimbursement in excess of expenses actually incurred), the party receiving those excess Proceeds agrees to promptly make all necessary transfers to the other so as to give full effect to this Section 6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Loan Document, all Proceeds received by Agent shall be applied in the following order:
 
(a) First, to reimburse Agent for expenses in accordance with Section 7 below;
 
(b) Second, Ratably to GasRock and Swap Counterparty; and
 
(c) Third, to the extent that any Proceeds remain after the full and indefeasible payment of all of the Loan Obligations (other than obligations under any royalty interest or overriding royalty interest or any indemnity obligations which survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) and the Swap Obligations, to Borrower.
 
7.    Expenses. GasRock and Swap Counterparty shall each bear their Ratable share of any reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in taking action on behalf of GasRock and Swap Counterparty in connection with its investigation, evaluation or enforcement of any Rights under the Security Documents, but only to the extent Agent does not receive reimbursement for such expenses from any other source(s) (excluding GasRock) within a reasonable time after such expenses are incurred; provided that, to the extent Swap Counterparty reimburses Agent for such expenses, Swap Counterparty will be entitled to receive its Ratable share of any reimbursement subsequently received by Agent from any other source(s) (excluding GasRock). Upon request by GasRock or Swap Counterparty, Agent shall provide such requesting party with sufficient supporting information (i.e., itemized invoices and supporting third party invoices) as may be required by GasRock or Swap Counterparty to determine the reasonableness of the expenses.
 
8.    Limitation of Liability - Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in good faith and reasonably believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by this Agreement and the Security Documents or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment, except to the extent arising solely from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall not be responsible in any manner to any other party for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due execution of any of the Security Documents or for any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement made in or in connection with any of the Security Documents or be under any obligation to any other party to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of the Loan Documents or the Swap Documents on the part of Borrower. GasRock and Swap Counterparty agree to Ratably indemnify Agent and hold it harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses, and/or reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under any of the Security Documents, except to the extent the same results solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent.

9.    Limitation of Liability - GasRock and Swap Counterparty. Neither Swap Counterparty nor GasRock, acting in its individual lending capacity, shall incur any liability to the other except for acts or omissions in bad faith.

11.    Removal of Agent. GasRock shall not be removed as Agent for Swap Counterparty under this Agreement except pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement. GasRock and Swap Counterparty agree to promptly notify Borrower of any removal of Agent.
 
12.    Survival of Rights. All of the respective rights and interests of GasRock and Swap Counterparty under this Agreement (and the respective obligations and agreements of Swap Counterparty and GasRock under this Agreement), shall remain in full force and effect regardless of:
 
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, the Swap Documents or any other agreement or instrument related thereto; or
 
(b) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, Borrower with respect to the Loan Obligations (other than obligations under any royalty interest or overriding royalty interest or any indemnity obligations which survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) or the Swap Obligations (in each case, other than the defense that such obligations have been fully satisfied).
