Re:

Loan
Agreement, dated April 22, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”),
by and between Ignis Petroleum Corporation (the “Borrower”)
and Xxxxxx Properties, Inc. (“Lender”)
|
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Pursuant
to the above referenced Loan Agreement, Borrower issued a Convertible Promissory
Note, dated April 22, 2005 (the “Note”)
to
Lender in the original principal amount of $375,000, which was convertible
at a
conversion price of $0.50 per share into 750,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Borrower. Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc., f/k/a Sheer
Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”),
and
its sole director were aware of the Note when the Company entered into the
Stock
Exchange Agreement, dated May 11, 2005 (the “Stock
Exchange Agreement”),
by
and among the Company, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxx, Gareth Xxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Borrower,
pursuant to which all 1,600,000 outstanding shares of common stock of the
Borrower were exchanged for 1,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001
per share, of the Company. Upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated
by the Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”),
Borrower became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Since the Exchange,
the Company has declared and paid a stock dividend whereby shareholders of
the
Company were issued five (5) additional shares of the Company’s common stock for
each one (1) share of common stock outstanding (the “Stock
Split”).
Each
of the parties hereto agrees that the conversion price of the Note should not
be
adjusted based upon the Stock Split and that the principal and accrued but
unpaid interest on the Note should now be convertible into 775,000 shares of
common stock of the Company at the rate of fifty cents ($0.50) per share.
The
purpose of this letter is to confirm Lender’s conversion and Borrower’s and the
Company’s acceptance for conversion of the entire $375,000 unpaid principal
balance of the Note plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon of $12,500 into
775,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”)
effective on the date hereof. As a result of such conversion, the Note and
the
Loan Agreement are hereby terminated, and neither Borrower nor Lender shall
hereafter have any further rights or obligations under the Note or the Loan
Agreement.

Lender
understands that the Shares have not been registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any state securities board and, as such, the shares
will
be deemed restricted securities, as such term is defined in the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”),
and
the regulations promulgated thereunder. In connection with the issuance of
the
Shares, Lender hereby makes the following representations and warranties to
Lender:
1.
Lender
is
an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in the Securities Act.
2.
Lender
is
purchasing the Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and
not
with view to any public resale or other distribution thereof. Lender and its
representatives have received, or have had access to, and have had sufficient
opportunity to review, all books, records, financial information and other
information which Lender considers necessary or advisable to enable it to make
a
decision concerning its conversion of the Note into the Shares, and Lender
possesses such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment hereunder.
3.
Lender
understands that any sale by Lender of any of the Shares will, under current
law, require either: (a) the registration of the Shares under the Securities
Act
and applicable state securities acts; (b) compliance with Rule 144 of the
Securities Act; or (c) the availability of an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. Lender understands that the Company has
not
undertaken and does not presently intend to file a registration statement to
register the Shares. Lender hereby agrees to execute, deliver, furnish or
otherwise provide to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable
to
the Company prior to any subsequent transfer of the Shares, that such transfer
will not violate the registration requirements of the federal or state
securities acts. Lender further agrees to execute, deliver, furnish or otherwise
provide to the Company any documents or instruments as may be reasonably
necessary or desirable in order to evidence and record the Shares acquired
hereby.
4.
To
assist
in implementing the above provisions, Lender hereby consents to the placement
of
the legend, or a substantially similar legend, set forth below, on all
certificates representing ownership of the Shares acquired hereby until the
Shares have been sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, pursuant to the
requirements hereof. The legend shall read substantially as
follows:

THE
ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE
