    Dear
Tom:

     

    By a letter agreement dated November
29, 2007 (the “Letter Agreement”), Energy Partners, Ltd. (the “Company”) agreed
to pay you certain benefits subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Letter Agreement. We have now decided to amend the Letter Agreement to delete
the definition of “Good Reason” appearing in Exhibit A to the Letter Agreement
and substitute the following definition of “Good Reason”:

     

     “‘Good Reason’ for termination
shall exist if, without your consent, any of the following events
occur:

     

    (i)  a
reduction in your base salary, or the elimination or significant reduction of a
material benefit under any employee benefit plan or program of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries in which you participate, other than an elimination or
reduction that affects other senior executive officers in a similar
way;

     

    (ii)  the
loss of any of your titles or positions, a significant diminution in your duties
and responsibilities or the assignment to you of duties and responsibilities
inconsistent with your titles or positions; or

     

    (iii)  any
requirement that you relocate to an office which is more than 35 miles in
driving distance from the office at which you are employed immediately prior to
the Change of Control.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company ceases to be a public company, an event otherwise
described in clause (ii) above shall not be deemed to have occurred merely
because your title, position, duties or responsibilities are changed in
connection with the Company’s ceasing to be a public company, provided your
authority, functions, duties and responsibilities otherwise remain substantially
the same as the authority, functions, duties and responsibilities of a person
with your position (determined before the change) within a comparably sized
independent private energy company.

     

    A
termination of employment by you shall not be considered to be for Good Reason
unless (i) you provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the
condition constituting Good Reason and the Company fails to remedy the condition
within

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    thirty
(30) days after receiving such notice and (ii) the termination of employment
occurs within sixty (60) days after you have knowledge of the event constituting
Good Reason.”

     

    

     

    Except as
modified by this letter, the Letter Agreement will remain in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms.

     

    By
signing this letter, you agree to the amendment of the Letter Agreement set
forth in this letter.

     

    Sincerely,

     

    /s/ Richard A.
Bachman

party (“Indemnified Party”) harmless, and such other party’s directors,
officers, employees and agents, and defend any action brought against same with
respect to any claim, demand, cause of action, debt or liability, including
reasonable attorney fees, to the extent that such action is based upon a claim
that: (a) if true, would constitute a breach of any of the Indemnifying Party’s
representations, warranties, or agreements hereunder; (b) arises out of the
Indemnifying Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, or (c) any of the content
of the creative work product that the Indemnifying Party provided or other
material infringes or violates any rights of third parties, including, without
limitations, rights of publicity, rights of privacy, patents, copyrights, trade
secrets and or/licenses.

    

    (a)           Nature of
Indemnification.  The Indemnifying Party shall defend the
Indemnified Party against all claims described above and shall pay for the cost
of such defense, including attorneys’ fees.  The Indemnifying Party

Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) if and to the extent the settlement requires the Indemnified Party to

    SECTION
8 – CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

    

    8.1           Confidential
Information.  Each Party may, from time to time, disclose or
make available to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) non-public
confidential and/or proprietary data, information and materials in any format
belonging to the disclosing Party (“Disclosing Party”), or to a Third Party that
disclosed such information to the Disclosing Party in confidence, which the
Receiving Party knows, or reasonably should know, would be considered
confidential by the Disclosing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Company’s
Confidential Information shall include, but is not limited to, any software,
technology, Intellectual Property, devices, financial data, customer data,
marketing plans, employees, former employees, suppliers and/or clients, and any
and all data, information, and materials related thereto, and (ii) Sequoia’s
Confidential Information includes the Production Software delivered to Company,
and (ii) the Products (excluding photo images).

    

    8.2           Obligation of
Confidentiality.  The Receiving Party shall keep and maintain
in confidence all Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall take
all precautions that it employs to protect its own Confidential Information but
in no event use less than reasonable care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure
of any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving
Party shall (i) not copy or use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information,
in whole or in part, except as required to perform pursuant to this Agreement,
(ii) limit the use and circulation of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information within its organization, (iii) disclose such Confidential
Information only to employees that need to know such information to effectively
perform pursuit to this Agreement, (iv) disclose the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information to its independent contractors provided that the
Receiving Party has a written agreement in effect with such contractor that
provides for an assignment of inventions and rights in work product and the
protection of the confidential information and proprietary information of the
Receiving Party and any Third Parties in a manner consistent with the
requirements hereof, and only to the extent necessary to perform in accordance
with this Agreement. Each Party shall be responsible to the other Party
hereunder for any unauthorized disclosure or other breach of this Agreement by
its employees, agents or independent contractors.

    

    8.3           Survival.  With
respect to trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, the obligations

Information, the obligations set forth in this Agreement will commence on the
Effective Date and continue for a period of five years after termination of the
Parties’ relationship.

    

    8.4           Exclusions.  The
obligations set forth herein shall not, however, apply to data, information or
materials that: (i) is generally known and available to the public, except where such knowledge or
availability is the result of unauthorized disclosure by the Receiving Party;
(ii) is already in the Receiving Party's possession without an obligation of
confidentiality prior to disclosure in connection with this Agreement; (iii) is
rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without a similar restriction by a
Third Party who has the right to make such disclosure; (iv) is independently

Information; or (v) is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party by law,
regulation, court order or other legal process.

    

    8.5           Other
Disclosures.  The Receiving Party may, without breach of this
Agreement, disclose Confidential Information to the government as a result of an
order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or in response to a lawful
subpoena or request for information from a party to litigation or by an agency
of the United States or any U.S. state government. However, the Receiving Party
shall make no disclosure pursuant to this provision without giving prior written
notice to the Disclosing Party of the governmental requirement or court order so
that the Disclosing Party has a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective
order from a court of law.

    

    8.6           Non-Disclosure
Agreement.  The Parties agree that any Non-Disclosure Agreement
between them prior to the date of this Agreement will remain in full force and

Date.
