This

Payment

amount of $2,500,000.00, and having a final maturity date of May 20, 2010

Lien Documents are amended to secure payment of the Additional Notes, including
the obligations of Borrower under the Second Note Purchase Agreement, and any
and all additional promissory notes that may be executed by Borrower under

by
or described in the Lien Documents are renewed and extended until the Prior
Notes and the Additional Notes are paid in full and all obligations and
commitments (including the “Secured Indebtedness,” as defined in sub-clause (b)
below) under the First Note Purchase Agreement and the Second Note Purchase
Agreement are satisfied or terminated.

kind in any of the lands covered by such leases and mineral interests, whether

simultaneously with, or after the inception of such Lien Documents and whether
such right, title and interest of Grantor was or is acquired before,
simultaneously with, or after the date of this instrument and notwithstanding
any fractional quantities of ownership interest which may be set out in the
description of the property in any of the Lien Documents.
(e)
