conditioned on the relevant holders of LaTex Shares complying with Section
                                                                   -------

-----------

          (b) On or after the Closing Date, each person who is at the Effective
Time a holder of record of issued and outstanding LaTex Shares may deliver to
the Paying Agent a letter of transmittal in a form suitable to the Paying Agent
duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto,
together with such holders' certificates representing such LaTex Shares, and
Alliance shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver to such holders certificates in

cause to be delivered to the persons entitled thereto certificates in respect of
the Alliance Shares and any dividends or distributions thereon to which such
persons are then entitled.

lieu of issuing a fractional Alliance Share to any person, Alliance will round
the number of Alliance Shares to be issued to each person to the nearest whole
number of Alliance Shares.

          (d) If Alliance Shares are to be issued to a person other than the
registered holder of the certificates surrendered, it shall be a condition of
such issue that the certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such
delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the
delivery to a person other than the registered holder of the certificates
surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Alliance or the Paying Agent
that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

          (e) Sixty (60) days following the Effective Time, Alliance shall be
entitled to cancel the allotment of Alliance Shares and to cause the Paying
Agent to deliver to Alliance the share certificates in respect of any Alliance
Shares made available to the Paying Agent that have not been delivered to
holders of certificates formerly representing LaTex Shares outstanding at the
Effective Time, and thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to
Alliance only as general

for any Alliance Shares or any dividends or distributions thereon delivered to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law. Alliance shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the
Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Alliance Shares for LaTex
Shares.

          (f)   On or after the Closing Date, each person who is at the

shall not receive the right to receive the consideration provided in Section

2.6(a), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have
------
effectively withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL,
as the case may be. If such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have
effectively withdrawn or lost such right, the LaTex Shares shall thereupon be
deemed to have been cancelled and the holders thereof to have become entitled,
with effect from the Effective Time, to receive the consideration specified in
Section 2.6.
-----------

          (b)   LaTex promptly shall give Alliance notice of any demand made by 
or on behalf of any dissenting LaTex Stockholder to be paid the "fair value" of
the LaTex Stockholder's LaTex Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL,
and the Surviving Corporation shall thereupon have sole and exclusive rights to
conduct and resolve, in its sole discretion, all negotiations proceedings and
ultimate disposition with respect to any such demands in any manner that the
Surviving Corporation may elect. All such payments shall be made solely by the
Surviving Corporation and shall not be made by, nor shall Alliance reimburse the
Surviving Corporation for, such payments.

                -----------

absent such imbalance; or (ii) the applicable entity being obligated to make
payment to any person or entity as a result of such imbalance; or (iii)

the LaTex Entities, none of the LaTex Entities or the LaTex Interests are
subject to any agreements, consents, orders or regulations that

                                       23

finally settled and no issue has been raised by the Internal Revenue Service in
any such examination that has been resolved adversely to any of the LaTex

determines is likely to be more beneficial to the LaTex Stockholders than the
Merger. LaTex will promptly communicate to Alliance the terms of any proposal
which it may receive in respect of any such transaction and will keep Alliance

Alliance Resources Plc

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


Gentlemen:

      In connection with the pending merger (the "Merger") of LaTex Resources,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with and into Alliance Resources
(Delaware), Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Acquisition"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Alliance Resources Plc, a public limited company incorporated in
England and Wales ("Acquiror"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement"), I have been advised that I may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of
the Company within the meaning of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act") for the purposes of any resales of shares of the common stock of
Acquiror to be issued to me (the "Stock"). Based on such advice and in order to
induce Acquiror and the Company to cause the Merger to be consummated, I hereby
represent and warrant to, and agree with, Acquiror, Acquisition, and the Company
as follows:

         A.  I will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Stock in violation
      of the 1933 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder. I will not, in any
      event, enter into any contract or otherwise agree to, sell or otherwise
      transfer any of the Stock until such time as financial results covering at
      least thirty (30) days of post-Merger combination operations of Acquiror
      and the Company have been published.

         B.  I hereby consent to the placing of a legend on the certificate or
      certificates evidencing the Stock referring to the issuance thereof in a
      transaction to which Rule 145 under the 1933 Act is applicable and to the
      giving of stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for the Stock
      with respect to such certificate or certificates. The legend will state in
      substance:

         "The shares represented by this certificate were issued in a
         transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933      

                                      60
<PAGE>
 
         applies and may be sold or otherwise transferred only in compliance
         with the terms of an agreement of affiliate dated ____________, 199__
         between the registered holder hereof and the issuer hereof, a copy of
         which is available at the principal office of the issuer."

     C.  In the event of any sale or transfer of any of the Stock in a
transaction not involving a sale pursuant to Rule 145 or in a registered public
offering, I will obtain from each transferee of the Stock in such transaction a
letter agreement substantially similar hereto, or a letter containing such other
information reasonable required by Acquiror to evidence an exception from the
applicable registration requirements of federal or State securities laws, which
is binding and enforceable by Acquiror and the transferee.

                                             Very truly yours,

     As hereby amended, the Merger Agreement is hereby ratified and affirmed
and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with all of its terms
and provisions.

     If the foregoing is acceptable, please indicate your approval by executing
both counterpart originals hereof, and return one counterpart to Alliance.

                               Very truly yours,

Attention:  Jeffrey T. Wilson, President

Dear Jeff:

      Pursuant to our recent discussions, we propose that the merger of Alliance
Resources Plc ("Alliance") and LaTex Resources, Inc. ("LaTex") take place under
the structure provided in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") by and among Alliance Resources Plc, Alliance Resources (Delaware),
Inc. and LaTex Resources, Inc. dated August 12, 1996, except that the Merger
Agreement will be amended to eliminate the condition contained in Section 9(k)
of the Merger Agreement relating to the delivery of an opinion from counsel
regarding the federal income tax aspects of the Merger.

      Therefore, this letter, when signed by all of the parties to the Merger
Agreement, will constitute an amendment to the Merger Agreement deleting Section
9(k) thereof. If you agree to this amendment, please indicate your agreement by
executing this letter in the space provided below.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   ALLIANCE RESOURCES PLC
