      Corporation), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each purchaser
      identified on the signature pages hereto (each, including its successors and
      assigns, a “Purchaser” and collectively the “Purchasers”).

    The

      new sentence “except as provise herein, the Securities Purchase Agreement will
      remain in full force effect”.

     

    A.           On
      April 10, 2007, the Company finalized the share transaction with DWM Petroleum
      AG of Switzerland.

     

    B.           Subject
      to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and pursuant to Section
      4(2) of the Securities Act (as defined below), Rule 506 promulgated thereunder,
      and/or Regulation S (defined below), the Company desires to issue and sell
      to
      each Purchaser, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, desires to
      purchase from the Company, in the aggregate, up to 10,000,00) units (the
“Units”) (green-shoe 5 million units) at a price of $4.50 per Unit. Each Unit
      consists of (i) 1 share of Common Stock and (ii) 1 warrant exercisable, for
      a 2
      year period at the closing (July 31, 2007), at $5.50 per share.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, IN
      CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and
      for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which
      are
      hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser agrees as follows with
