	 	Re:	Application for the Extension of Phase Two of the Exploration Period under the Qinnan PSC 

 Dear Mr. Wang: 
 Far
East Energy Company, (“FEEC”) previously elected to enter Phase Two of the Exploration Period as described in the Production Sharing Contract for the Exploration of Coalbed Methane Resources for the Qinnan Area, in Shanxi province, Qinshui
Basin, The People’s Republic of China, (The “Qinnan PSC”). FEEC also previously requested and received a six (6) month extension of Phase Two from China United Coalbed Methane Corporation, Ltd., (“CUCBM”), by letter
dated January 24, 2005. Phase Two of the Exploration period is currently set to expire on December 31, 2005. FEEC has not yet completed the Phase Two minimum work requirement of the Qinnan PSC. Technical problems and unforeseen
difficulties delayed the drilling and completion of the a well drilled in the Shouyang PSC, In order to complete the minimum work requirement of Phase Two of the Qinnan PSC, FEEC hereby submits an application to extend Phase Two of the Exploration
Period until March 31, 2006. 
 FEEC respectfully requests that CUCBM grant a three (3) month extension of Phase Two of the
Exploration Period. It is understood and agreed by FEEC that the three month extension to March 31, 2006 shall not extend the overall Exploration Period of five (5) consecutive Contract Years as set forth in Article 4.2 of the Qinnan PSC.
The granting of the requested three (3) month extension to Phase Two shall result in a corresponding reduction to the term of Phase Three of the Exploration Period from one and one half Contract Year (1.5) to one and one quarter Contract
Year (1.25). 
 Based upon FEEC’s previous experience and dealing, FEEC understands that Ministry of Commerce approval is not required
for an amendment that does not extend the overall five (5) year Exploration Period. It is FEEC’s further understanding that this application, if approved, shall be sufficient to extend Phase Two of the Exploration period until
March 31, 2006.
