                             MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Modification Agreement ("Modification Agreement") is effective as of May 1,
2005. The parties to the Modification  Agreement are Natural Gas Services Group,
Inc. ("Borrower") and Western National Bank ("Lender").

                                    RECITALS

On January 3, 2005,  Borrower  executed  and  delivered  to Lender that  certain
Revolving  Line of  Credit  Promissory  Note in the  original  principal  sum of
$2,000,000.00,  bearing interest at the rate stated therein, with a stated final
maturity  date of January 1, 2006 (the  "Note"),  pursuant to that certain Third
Amended and Restated  Loan  Agreement  dated  January 3, 2005,  as  subsequently
amended and restated in that certain  Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
dated March 14, 2005 (the "Loan Agreement").  All liens,  security interests and
assignments securing the Note are collectively called the "Liens". Terms defined
in the Note or the Loan  Agreement and not otherwise  defined  herein shall have
the same meanings here as in those documents.

At  Borrower's  request,  Borrower  and  Lender  have  agreed to enter into this
Modification  Agreement  to modify the  interest  provisions  of the Note and to
ratify the Liens. Said modified interest provisions shall be effective as of May
1, 2005.

                                    AGREEMENT

1.  Modification  of Interest  Provisions  of the Note. In lieu of the following
provisions which were contained in the first paragraph of the Note:

                  "...at a rate per annum  which  shall from day to day be equal
         to the lesser of (a) a rate per annum (the "Established Rate") equal to
         the greater of (i) one percent  (1%) over the Prime Rate in effect from
         day to day, or (ii) six percent (6.0%), or (b) the Highest Lawful Rate,
         in each  case  calculated  on the  basis of actual  days  elapsed,  but
         computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days."

such provisions of the Note are changed to read in their entirety as follows:

                  "...at a rate per annum  which  shall from day to day be equal
         to the lesser of (a) a rate per annum (the "Established Rate") equal to
         the  greater  of (i)  one-half  percent  (0.5%)  over the Prime Rate in
         effect from day to day, or (ii) six percent (6.0%),  or (b) the Highest
         Lawful  Rate,  in each case  calculated  on the  basis of  actual  days
         elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days."





                                                                               1

                  the Liens and shall allow Lender to exercise any or all of its
                  remedies  set  forth in such  Note  and  Liens or at law or in
                  equity.

                  a party hereto.

         (e)      All terms, provisions,  covenants,  agreements, and conditions
                  of the Note and the Liens are  unchanged,  except as  provided
                  herein.  Borrower agrees that this Modification  Agreement and
                  all of the covenants and agreements  contained herein shall be
                  binding upon Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Lender
                  and  each  of  their  respective   heirs,   executors,   legal
                  representatives, successors, and permitted assigns.

                  THIS  MODIFICATION  AGREEMENT  REPRESENTS THE FINAL  AGREEMENT
                  BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
