      TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

    BETWEEN
      NIELSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND

    RANCHER
      ENERGY CORP. DATED OCTOBER 1, 2006

    

    This
      Amendment to Purchase and Sale
      Agreement (this "Amendment") is made and entered into effective December
      15, 2006, by and between Nielson & Associates, Inc., a
      Wyoming corporation ("Seller") and Rancher Energy Corp.,
      a Nevada corporation, doing business in Wyoming as Rancher Energy Oil & Gas
      Corp. ("Buyer").

    

    WHEREAS,
      Buyer and
      Seller entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 1, 2006 (the
      "PSA"); and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the parties
      desire to amend the PSA as provided herein;

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in
      consideration of the mutual benefits derived from this Amendment, Buyer and
      Seller agree as follows:

    

    1. Buyer
      will pay to Seller an
      extension fee of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). This amount
      has been wired to Seller's account as directed by Seller. This amount shall
      be
      considered fully earned and nonrefundable upon execution of this Amendment
      by
      Buyer and Seller and the fee shall not be credited against the purchase price
      at
      closing.

    

    2. On
      the Closing Date, the Buyer
      shall deliver to the Seller a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”),
      which shall provide that the Seller may purchase from Buyer up to 250,000 shares
      of the Buyer’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.50
      per share at any time, or from time to time, during the period beginning six
      months after the Closing Date and ending five years after the Closing Date.
      The
      Warrant shall further provide that on the next registration statement filed
      by
      the Buyer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but in no event later
      than March 7, 2007, the Buyer shall include therein, at no cost to Seller,
      the
      Warrant Shares for resale by the Seller.

    

    3. Section
      3.1 of the PSA is
      hereby amended to change the Closing Date from "on or before December 15, 2006"
      to "on or before December 22, 2006." 

    

    4. In
      lieu of the Three Million
      Dollar ($3,000,000) payment provided for in Section 2.1 of the PSA, which amount
      is payable when average total production from the Assets equals or exceeds
      1,000
      barrels of oil per day, Buyer shall pay to Seller, at closing, the sum of One
      Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000). Accordingly, Section
      2.1 of the PSA is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the
      following:

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    2.1 Purchase
      Price. The purchase price for the Assets is Forty-Six Million Seven Hundred
      Fifty Thousand Dollars ($46,750,000.00) (the "Base Purchase Price"), subject
      to
      the adjustments provided for herein, which amount shall be due at
      Closing.

    

    5. Seller
      acknowledges that the time for asserting title defects pursuant to Section
      5.3
      (A) of the PSA has passed and that Seller will not be asserting further title
      defects with respect to the Assets. 

    

    6.
       Seller acknowledges that the time for asserting title defects pursuant to
      Section 6.3 of the PSA has passed and that Seller will not be asserting further
      title defects with respect to the Assets. 

    

    7. All
      other terms, covenants, and
      conditions of the PSA shall remain unaffected and in full force.

    

    8. This
      Amendment may be executed
      in counterparts pursuant to Section 15.14 of the PSA.

      or “Placement Agent Warrants” shall refer to Warrants to purchase Common Shares
      issued to the Placement Agent or its designees by the Company pursuant to the
      Placement Agent Agreement, as such may be adjusted from time to time pursuant

      hereof, in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, during the
      period commencing December 26, 2006 (the “Commencement Date”) until 5:00 New
      York Time on December 25, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”), by the presentation of
      this Warrant, with the purchase form attached duly executed, at the Company’s
      office (or such office or agency of the Company as it may designate in writing
      to the Holder hereof by notice pursuant to Section 14 hereof), and upon payment
      by the Holder to the Company in cash or by certified check of the Warrant Price

      Company agrees that the Holder hereof shall be deemed the record owner of such

      Warrant for cancellation, deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
      Holder hereof to purchase the balance of the Common Shares which such Holder
      is
      entitled to purchase hereunder. Exercise in full of the rights represented
      by
      this Warrant shall not extinguish the registration rights granted under
      Section 8 hereof and Section 2 of the Placement Agent
      Agreement.

    3.    Subject
      and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the Warrant Price and number
      of Common Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from
      time to time as set forth hereinafter in this Section 3.

    

    (a)    Dividends
      and Distributions.
      In case
      the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares
      of
      Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such
      dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
      such
      dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing
      an
      amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
      immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise
      Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the
      total
      number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend
      or
      distribution. For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with
      the
      provisions of this Section 3, the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend
      or
      distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening
      of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of
      shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

    

    (b)    Subdivision
      and Combination.
      In case
      the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock,
      the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case
      of
      subdivision or increased in the case of combination.

    

    (c)    Adjustment
      in Number of Warrant Shares.
      Upon
      each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article
      7, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
      shall
      be adjusted to the nearest full shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number
      equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
      by
      the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately
      prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted
      Exercise Price.

    

    (d)    Reclassification,
      Consolidation, Merger, etc.
      In case
      of any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
      (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from
      no
      par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or
      in
      the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
      into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
      Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any
      reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except
      a
      change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change
      in
      nominal value, as aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another
      corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety, the Holder shall
      thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock
      and
      other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
      consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holder were the owner of
      the
      Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to
      any
      such events at a price equal to the product of (x) the number of Warrant Shares
      issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (y) the Exercise Price in effect
      immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification, change,
      consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Holder had exercised the
      Warrants.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
 

    (e)    Determination
      of Outstanding Shares.
      The
      number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include
      the
      aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
      options, rights, warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding
      convertible or exchangeable securities.

    

    (f)    Except
      as
      otherwise specifically provided herein the date of issuance or sale of Common
      Stock shall be deemed to be the date the Company is legally obligated to issue
      such Common Shares. In case at any time the Company shall take a record date
      for
      the purpose of determining the Holders of Common Stock entitled (i) to receive
      a
      dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in Options or
      Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
      Options or Convertible Securities then such record date shall be deemed to
      be
      the date of issue or sale of the Common Shares, Options or Convertible
      Securities deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
      dividend or the making of such distribution or the granting of such right of
      subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

    

    4.    For
      the
      purposes of this Warrant, the terms “Common Shares” or “Common Stock” or
“Warrant Shares” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the common
      stock, $0.02 par value, of the Company on the date set forth on the first page
      hereof or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or
      re-classifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par
      value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value.
      If
      at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3, the
      securities or other property obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
      include shares or other securities of the Company other than Common Shares
      or
      securities of another corporation or other property, thereafter, the number
      of
      such other shares or other securities or property so obtainable shall be subject
      to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
      as
      practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in
      Section 3 and all other provisions of this Warrant with respect to Common Shares
      shall apply on like terms to any such other shares or other securities or
      property. Subject to the foregoing, and unless the context requires otherwise,
      all references herein to Common Shares shall, in the event of an adjustment
      pursuant to Section 3, be deemed to refer also to any other securities or
      property then obtainable as a result of such adjustments.

    

    5.    The
      Company covenants and agrees that:

    

    (a)    During
      the period within which the rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised,
      the Company shall, at all times, reserve and keep available out of its
      authorized capital stock, solely for the purposes of issuance upon exercise
      of
      this Warrant, such number of its Common Shares as shall be issuable upon the
      exercise of this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized Common
      Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the
      Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its
      authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be
      sufficient for such purpose; the Company shall have analogous obligations with
      respect to any other securities or property issuable upon exercise of this
      Warrant;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)    All
      Common Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the rights represented by
      this Warrant will, upon issuance be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable
      and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof;
      and

    

    (c)    All
      original issue taxes payable in respect of the issuance of Common Shares upon
      the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be borne by the
      Company but in no event shall the Company be responsible or liable for income
      taxes or transfer taxes upon the transfer of any Warrants.

    

    6.    Until
      exercised, this Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights
      or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, except that the Holder of
      this
      Warrant shall be deemed to be a stockholder of this Company for the purpose
      of
      bringing suit on the ground that the issuance of shares of stock of the Company
      is improper under the New York Business Corporation Law.

    

    7.    In
      no
      event shall this Warrant be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated except
      in conformity with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
      as
      amended and as then in force (the “Act”), or any similar Federal statute then in
      force, and all applicable “Blue Sky” laws.

    

    8.    The
      Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, prior to the
      disposition of this Warrant or of any Common Shares theretofore purchased upon
      the exercise hereof, under circumstances that might require registration of
      such
      securities under the Act, or any similar Federal statute then in force, such
      Holder will give written notice to the Company expressing such Holder’s
      intention of effecting such disposition, and describing briefly such Holder’s
      intention as to the disposition to be made of this Warrant and/or the securities
      theretofore issued upon exercise hereof. Promptly upon receiving such notice,
      the Company shall present copies thereof to its counsel and the provisions
      of
      the following subdivisions shall apply:

    

    (a)    If,
      in
      the opinion of such counsel, the proposed disposition does not require
      registration under the Act or qualification pursuant to Regulation A promulgated
      under the Act, or any similar Federal statute then in force, of this Warrant
      and/or the securities issuable or issued upon the exercise of this Warrant,
      the
      Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder hereof of such
      opinion, whereupon such Holder shall be entitled to dispose of this Warrant
      and/or such Common Shares theretofore issued upon the exercise hereof, all
      in
      accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Holder to the
      Company.

    

    (b)    If,
      in
      the opinion of either such counsel, such proposed disposition requires such
      registration or qualification under the Act, or similar Federal statute then
      in
      effect, of this Warrant and/or the Common Shares issuable or issued upon the
      exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly give written notice to
      all
      then Holders of the Warrants, at the respective addresses thereof shown on
      the
      books of the Company.

    The
      holder of this Warrant shall also be entitled to the registration rights as
      stated in the Placement Agent Agreement.

    

    9.    The
      Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the holder of this Warrant, or
      of
      Underlying Securities issuable or issued upon the exercise hereof, from and
      against any claims and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material
      fact, or omission to state a material fact required to be stated, in any such
      registration statement, prospectus, notification or offering circular under
      Regulation A, except insofar as such claims or liabilities are caused by any
      such untrue statement or omission based on information furnished in writing
      to
      the Company by such holder, or by any other such holder affiliated with the
      holder who seeks indemnification, as to which the holder hereof, by acceptance
      hereof, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company.

    

    10.   If
      this
      Warrant, or any of the Underlying Securities issuable pursuant hereto, require
      qualification or registration with, or approval of, any governmental official
      or
      authority (other than registration under the Act, or any similar Federal statute
      at the time in force), before such shares may be issued on the exercise hereof,
      the Company, at its expense, will take all requisite action in connection with
      such qualification, and will use its best efforts to cause such securities
      to be
      duly registered or approved, as may be required.

    

    11.   This
      Warrant is exchangeable, upon its surrender by the registered holder at such
      office or agency of the Company as may be designated by the Company, for new
      Warrants of like tenor, representing, in the aggregate, the right to subscribe
      for and purchase the number of Common Shares that may be subscribed for and
      purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to
      subscribe for and purchase such number of Common Shares as shall be designated
      by the registered holder at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt of evidence
      satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
      this Warrant, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
      delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or in the case
      of
      such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of this Warrant, the Company
      will issue to the registered holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu of
      this
      Warrant, representing the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of
      Common Shares that may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder. Nothing herein
      is intended to authorize the transfer of this Warrant except as permitted by
      applicable law.

    

    12.   Every
      Holder hereof, by accepting the same, agrees with any subsequent Holder hereof
      and with the Company that this Warrant and all rights hereunder are issued
      and
      shall be held subject to all of the terms, conditions, limitations and
      provisions set forth in this Warrant, and further agrees that the Company and
      its transfer agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant
      as
      the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any
      notice to the contrary.

      notices required hereunder shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid;
      if given by the holder hereof, addressed to the Company at 28 Main Street
      East,
      Suite
      1525, Rochester, NY 14614 or

      other address as the Company may designate in writing to the holder hereof;
      and
      if given by the Company, addressed to the holder at the address of the holder
      shown on the books of the Company.

    

    15.    The
      validity, construction and enforcement of this Warrant shall be governed by
      the
      laws of the State of New York and jurisdiction is hereby vested in the Courts
      of
      said State in the event of the institution of any legal action under this
