THIRD AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this
“Third Amendment”) executed effective as of July 13, 2007 (the “Third Amendment
Effective Date”) is among LINN ENERGY, LLC, a limited liability company formed
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”); each of the
undersigned guarantors (the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the
“Obligors”); each of the Lenders that is a signatory hereto; and BNP PARIBAS, as
administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its
successors, the “Administrative Agent”).

Recitals

A.            The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are parties
to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August
1, 2006, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2007 and the Second Amendment
to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2007 (as amended,
the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain credit
available to and on behalf of the Borrower.

B.            The Borrower has requested and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement.

C.            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

Section 1.               Defined Terms.  Each capitalized term which is defined
in the Credit Agreement, but which is not defined in this Third Amendment, shall
have the meaning ascribed such term in the Credit Agreement.  Unless otherwise
indicated, all section references in this Third Amendment refer to the Credit
Agreement.

Section 2.               Amendments to Credit Agreement.

2.1           Definitions.  Section 1.02 is hereby amended by amending and
restated the definition of “Agreement” as follows:

“ ‘Agreement’ means this Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2007, by that certain Second Amendment to
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2007 and by
that certain Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of July 13, 2007, and as the same may from time to time be further
amended, modified, supplemented or restated.”

2.2           Section 9.02.  Section 9.02(a) is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“(a)         the Notes or other Indebtedness or any guaranty of or suretyship
arrangement for the Notes or other Indebtedness.”

Section 3.               Waiver.

The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that it has executed deferred
premium put agreements with a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, and such
deferred premium put agreements could be characterized as Debt not currently
permitted by Section 9.02.  Section 9.02(a) as amended by this Third Amendment
permits such deferred premium put agreements so long as such put agreements are
with a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, as such put agreements would
constitute “Indebtedness”.  Therefore, the Borrower hereby requests, and the
Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders hereby agree, to waive Section
9.02 to allow such deferred premium put agreements.  Except as expressly waived
herein, all covenants, obligations and agreements of the Borrower contained in
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their terms.

Neither the execution by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of this Third
Amendment, nor any other act or omission by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders or their officers in connection herewith, shall be deemed a waiver by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any other defaults which may exist,
which may have occurred prior to the distribution above, or which may occur in
the future under the Credit Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, or any
future defaults of the same provision waived hereunder (collectively “Other
Violations”).  Similarly, nothing contained in this letter shall directly or
indirectly in any way whatsoever either: (i) impair, prejudice or otherwise
adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right at any time to
exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with the Loan Documents
with respect to any Other Violations, (ii) amend or alter any provision of the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other contract or instrument,
or (iii) constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any
obligation of the Borrower or any right, privilege or remedy of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, or any other contract or instrument.  Nothing in this letter shall be
construed to be a consent by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any
Other Violations.

Section 4.               Conditions Precedent.  The effectiveness of this Third
Amendment is subject to the receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following
documents and satisfaction of the other conditions provided in this Section 4,
each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in
form and substance:

4.1           Payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of all fees
and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Third Amendment Effective
Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all
out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower.

4.2           The Administrative Agent shall have received multiple counterparts
as requested of this Third Amendment from the Majority Lenders.

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3           The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents
as the Administrative Agent or special counsel to the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request.

4.4           No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing as of the Third Amendment Effective Date.

Section 5.               Representations and Warranties; Etc.  Each Obligor
hereby affirms:  (a) that as of the date of execution and delivery of this Third
Amendment, all of the representations and warranties contained in each Loan
Document to which such Obligor is a party are true and correct in all material
respects as though made on and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (unless
made as of a specific earlier date, in which case, was true as of such date);
and (b) that after giving effect to this Third Amendment and to the transactions
contemplated hereby, no Defaults exist under the Loan Documents or will exist
under the Loan Documents.

Section 6.               Miscellaneous.

6.1           Confirmation.  The provisions of the Credit Agreement (as amended
by this Third Amendment) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
with its terms following the effectiveness of this Third Amendment.

6.2           Ratification and Affirmation of Obligors.  Each of the Obligors
hereby expressly (i) acknowledges the terms of this Third Amendment, (ii)
ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and the other
Security Instruments to which it is a party, (iii) acknowledges, renews and
extends its continued liability under the Guarantee Agreement and the other
Security Instruments to which it is a party and agrees that its guarantee under
the Guarantee Agreement and the other Security Instruments to which it is a
party remains in full force and effect with respect to the Indebtedness as
amended hereby.

6.3           Counterparts.  This Third Amendment may be executed by one or more
of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

6.4           No Oral Agreement.  THIS WRITTEN THIRD AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND
THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

6.5           Governing Law.  THIS THIRD AMENDMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY HEREOF) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
