WHEREAS, the Company and certain individuals propose to enter into a Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement (the “Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company shall issue up

WHEREAS, the principal amount of each Subordinated Note shall be from time to time in whole or
in part convertible at the option of the holder thereof into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a price per share equal to US$1.37 per share, as such price may be adjusted pursuant to the
terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Senior Noteholders have certain rights (the “Senior Noteholder Rights”) under
that Note Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2005 by and among the Company and the Senior

associated therewith, which rights may include, without limitation, (i) anti-dilution rights and
protections, and preemptive and notice rights with respect to certain issuances of securities by
the Company, (ii) rights in connection with negative covenants provided by the Company in

WHEREAS, each of the Senior Noteholders desires to waive certain of the Senior Noteholder
Rights that it may have in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby and to amend certain provisions of the Senior Note Purchase
Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency or which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the
meanings assigned to them in the Senior Note Purchase Agreement.
2. Consent and Waivers. Notwithstanding the provisions of any Loan Document, in
accordance with Section 18 of the Senior Note Purchase Agreement the
Senior Noteholders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to, and waive any rights
they may have under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement or any other Loan Documents in connection
with, (i) the sale and issuance of the Subordinated Notes and the Warrants pursuant to the terms
and provisions of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, (x) a
waiver of the negative covenants set forth in Section 11.9 of the Senior Note Purchase Agreement
and (y) consent to the Subsidiary Guaranty (as defined in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement)
to be entered into in connection with the Subordinated Offering, (ii) the amendment or termination

Purchase Agreement and (iii) an increase in the authorized capital stock of the Company to 380
million shares of which 375 million shares shall constitute Common Stock and 5 million shares shall
constitute preferred stock. The waivers granted in this Section 2 only apply to the matters
described in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above, and do not constitute a waiver of, or consent to,
any other provisions of the Loan Documents.
3. Amendment. The Senior Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with
Section 18 of the Senior Note Purchase Agreement by:
(i) deleting clause (b) of the definition of Indebtedness (as set forth on Schedule B to

“(b) its liabilities for the deferred purchase price of property acquired by
such Person (excluding (i) accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of
business but including all liabilities created or arising under any conditional
sale or other title retention agreement with respect to any such property and (ii)
where such deferred purchase price is in the form of equity);” and
(ii) deleting the Samgori PSC from Schedule 6.19 to the Senior Note Purchase Agreement.
4. Effect on Loan Documents. This Agreement is limited to the specific purpose for
which it is granted and, except as specifically set forth above, (a) shall not be construed as a
consent, waiver or other modification with respect to any term, condition or other provision of any
Loan Document and (b) each of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are each
hereby ratified and confirmed.
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the
benefit of the Company and the Senior Noteholders and their respective successors and assigns;
provided that the Company may not assign its rights hereunder
2
without the prior written consent of the Company and the Required Holders. There shall be no third
party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all documents attached hereto,
incorporated by reference herein or delivered in connection herewith, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other
understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(c) Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by the different parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy
