such stock (other than (I) the repurchase of stock or options therefore of Layne Energy
issued under the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan due to death, disability or termination of
employment, a cashless exercise of any such options, or pursuant to put right in favor of a
holder of any options

 

 

under the Layne Energy Option Plan, (II) the purchase or redemption
pursuant to and in accordance with a stock incentive plan, stock option plans or other
equity-based compensation plan or arrangement of Borrower for directors, management or
employees of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the net settlement of options

options in respect thereof, to directors, officers and employees pursuant to written
incentive compensation plans), (d) prepay, purchase or redeem any subordinated Indebtedness
or (e) set aside funds for any of the foregoing; provided, however, that (i) any Subsidiary
may declare and pay dividends to Borrower or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary, and (ii) so long
as there is no Existing Default and no Default or Event of Default is reasonably likely to
occur from such payment, Borrower may purchase stock of the Borrower on the open market and
re-issue such stock to officers and employees of the Borrower in connection with written
incentive compensation plans or other agreements with officers, directors or employees of
the Borrower approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or any compensation
committee thereof and the Borrower may pay dividends to its shareholders and/or repurchase
stock of the Borrower, provided that the aggregate amount of all such dividends and
repurchases described in this clause (ii) shall not exceed 50% of Borrower’s annual
consolidated Net Income in any fiscal year if declared and paid within ninety days following
such fiscal year end.

          4.2. Permitted Indebtedness. Section 13.2.3. of the Loan Agreement is deleted and replaced with
the following:

“13.2.3. The Term Indebtedness up to $105,000,000 in principal outstanding in the aggregate
at any one time if the Intercreditor Agreement remains in effect and if at the time of
funding the Term Indebtedness there is no Existing Default and the funding of any Term
Indebtedness would not reasonably likely give rise to a Default or Event of Default.”

          4.3. Change of Control. Section 13.10 of the Loan Agreement is deleted and replaced with the
following:

“13.10. Change of Control. (A) With respect to (i) Borrower, merge or consolidate with or
into another Person, except in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower may
merge with a Target Company so long as it is the Surviving Company and the core managers of
the Borrower prior to the merger or consolidation shall be the core managers of the
continuing or surviving entity, (ii) with respect to any other Covered Person (other than
Borrower, which is addressed in clause (i)), merge or consolidate with or into another
Person except another Covered Person and except in connection with a Permitted Acquisition,
a Covered Person (other than Borrower, which is addressed in clause (i)) may merge with a
Target Company so long as it is the Surviving Company and either is or becomes a Guarantor;
or (B) (i) with respect to Borrower, permit any Person or Group to become the record or
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, on a fully diluted basis, of securities
representing 30% or more of the voting power of Borrower’s then outstanding securities

acquire the power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Borrower, or (ii) with
respect to any Covered Person other than Borrower, permit any Person
or Group other than
Borrower or another Covered Person to own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of
such Covered Person except, with regards to Covered Persons incorporated or formed under the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, director/officer qualifying shares owned
by such directors or officers, and except with regards to Layne Energy, common stock issued
under the

2

 

Layne Energy Stock Option Plan if at all times Layne Energy’s parent entity owns
100% of the preferred stock of Layne Energy and no less than 90% (on a fully diluted basis)
of Layne Energy’s common stock.”

          4.4. Subsidiaries. Section 13.19.2 of the Loan Agreement is deleted and replaced with the
following, and a new Section 13.19.3 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement as follows:

“13.19.2. Notwithstanding Section 13.19.1, subject to the other terms of this Agreement
(although Section 13.7 shall not be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this
Section 13.19.2), the Borrower or another Covered Person may sell up to forty percent (40%)
in the aggregate of the equity in Layne Energy in one or more series of public offerings or
private offerings (which for purposes of this Section 13.19.2, shall include any equity or
options therefor issued under the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan) if: (i) no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such sale and no Default or
Event of Default occurs or is reasonably likely to occur from such sale, (ii) for each of
the two fiscal quarters prior to such sale, the ratio in Section 14.3 is less than 2.25:1.00
with such calculation being made as if Layne Energy was not a Subsidiary for such periods
and therefore excluded from such calculation; (iii) Layne Energy promptly following
formation is a Guarantor and remains a Guarantor, but, following any such initial public
offering or private offering, only to the extent of Layne Energy’s Indebtedness to all
Covered Persons taken as a whole; and (iv) if Borrower chooses to repay Indebtedness (such
choice to be in Borrower’s discretion) with the net proceeds of any such initial public
offering or private offering, then Borrower shall repay the Loan Obligations and the Term
Indebtedness on a pro rata basis (unless the holders of the Term Indebtedness decline such
offer as set forth in the Term Indebtedness Documents, in which case such proceeds shall be
used solely to repay the Loan Obligations), provided, however, the first $15,000,000 of any
such net proceeds of an initial public offering or private offering (excluding proceeds from
any exercise of options issued under the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan) may be used solely
to repay the Loan Obligations.

13.19.3. Notwithstanding Section 13.19.1, subject to the other terms of this Agreement
(although Section 13.7 shall not be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this
Section 13.19.3), if at all times Layne Energy is a Guarantor and remains a Guarantor, Layne
Energy may issue up to 10% (on a fully-diluted basis) of the common stock of Layne Energy
pursuant to the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan.”

          4.5. Layne Energy and Layne Energy Stock Option Plan. The existing defined term “Layne Energy” on
Exhibit 2.1 of the Loan Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

     “Layne Energy” means Layne Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation.”

A new definition and “Layne Energy Stock Option Plan” is hereby added to Exhibit 2.1 of the Loan
Agreement as follows:

“Layne Energy Stock Option Plan” means that certain stock option plan, as amended from time
to time (including any successor or replacement plan) of Layne Energy, duly adopted by Layne
Energy’s board of directors, pursuant to which certain key employees of Layne Energy may,
from time to time, receive options for up to 10% in the aggregate, on a fully diluted basis,
of Layne Energy’s common stock.”

3

parties for Borrower’s execution, delivery or performance of this Amendment, (iii) this Amendment,
the Loan Agreement, and each of the other Loan Documents, constitute the legal, valid and binding

other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors rights generally or by equity principles of
general application, (iv) except as disclosed on the Amended and Restated Disclosure Schedule
attached hereto as Exhibit B, all of the representations and warranties contained in

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (viii) there are no Security Interests with
respect to the Borrower or its assets, except for Permitted Security Interests.

6. Effect of Amendment. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not
operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender under the
Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the
Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any existing Default or Event of Default, nor,
except as set forth in Section 4 hereof, be or be construed or deemed to be, an amendment or

4

 

signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies each Borrower, each Guarantor, each other Covered Person and
each of their Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower, each

Guarantor, each other Covered Person and each of their Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act.

13.
Statutory Notice — Insurance.

The following notice is given pursuant to Section 10 of the Collateral Protection Act set forth in
Chapter 815 Section 180/1 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (1996); nothing contained in such
notice shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of the Loan Documents:

UNLESS YOU PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US, WE
MAY PURCHASE INSURANCE AT YOUR EXPENSE TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS IN YOUR COLLATERAL. THIS
INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS. THE COVERAGE THAT WE PURCHASE MAY NOT
PAY ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAKE OR ANY CLAIM THAT IS MADE AGAINST YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE
COLLATERAL. YOU MAY LATER CANCEL ANY INSURANCE PURCHASED BY US, BUT ONLY AFTER PROVIDING
EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED INSURANCE AS REQUIRED BY OUR AGREEMENT. IF WE PURCHASE
INSURANCE FOR THE COLLATERAL, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THAT INSURANCE,
INCLUDING THE INSURANCE PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ANY OTHER CHARGES WE MAY IMPOSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE INSURANCE, UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CANCELLATION OR
EXPIRATION OF THE INSURANCE. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO YOUR TOTAL
OUTSTANDING BALANCE OR OBLIGATION. THE COSTS OF THE INSURANCE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF
INSURANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON YOUR OWN.

14. Statutory Notice — Oral Commitments. Nothing contained in the following notice shall be deemed
to limit or modify the terms of the Loan Documents:

ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING
REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO
PROTECT YOU (BORROWER) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY
AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE
COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE
IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.

Borrower acknowledges that there are no other agreements between Administrative Agent, Lenders, and
Borrower, oral or written, concerning the subject matter of the Loan Documents, and that all prior
agreements concerning the same subject matter, including any proposal or commitment letter, are
merged into the Loan Documents and thereby extinguished.

Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws related to creditors rights

Amendment No. 1 to Master Shelf Agreement dated May 15, 2004, Letter Amendment No. 2 to Master
Shelf Agreement dated September 28, 2005, Letter Amendment No. 3 to Master Shelf Agreement dated
June 16, 2006 and Letter Amendment No. 4 to Master Shelf Agreement dated November 20, 2006 (as so

Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation, Prudential
Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company, Time Insurance Company (f/k/a Fortis Insurance Company),
American Memorial Life Insurance Company and Physicians Mutual Insurance Company, pursuant to which
the Company has issued and the Purchasers have purchased (i) Series A Notes of the Company in the
aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 and (ii) Series B Notes of the Company in the aggregate
principal amount of $20,000,000. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the
Agreement shall be used herein as therein defined.

     The Company desires to amend the Agreement (this “Amendment”) to (i) reinstate and extend the
Issuance Period and (ii) increase the amount of the Notes available to be issued under the
Agreement to an aggregate principal amount of $105,000,000 (creating an Available Facility Amount
of $45,000,000 as of the date hereof), and Prudential and the Purchasers are willing to agree to
such amendments, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

 

     Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, it is hereby agreed by you and us as follows:

1. Amendments to the Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
paragraph 3 hereof, Prudential and the undersigned holders of the Notes hereby agree with the
Company to amend, effective (except as specifically set forth in clauses (c), (d) and (e) below) as
of the date first above written, the Agreement as follows:

     (a) Paragraph 1 (Authorization of Issue of Notes). Paragraph 1 of the Agreement is amended by
deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

     “1. AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF NOTES. The Company will authorize the issue of its
senior promissory notes (the ‘Notes‘) in the aggregate principal amount of $105,000,000, to
be dated the date of issue thereof; to mature, in the case of each Note so issued, no more
than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof; to have an average life, in the
case of each Note so issued, of no more than seven years after the date of original
issuance thereof; to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at
the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the
case of each Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Note
delivered pursuant to paragraph 2F; and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 attached hereto. The term ‘Notes’ as used herein shall include each Note delivered
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or
exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same
final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal
prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note),
(iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods, and (vi) the same
original date of issuance are herein called a ‘Series’ of Notes. Capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings specified in paragraph 10.”

     (b) Paragraph 2B (Issuance Period). Paragraph 2B of the Agreement is amended by replacing
“September 15, 2007” therein with “September 15, 2009”.

     (c) Paragraph 6G (Distributions; Redemptions). Effective as of August 28, 2007, paragraph 6G
of the Agreement is amended by adding, immediately prior to the “,” at the end of clause (ii)
thereof, the following:

     “(other than (A) the repurchase of stock or options therefore of Layne Energy issued
under the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan due to death, disability or termination of
employment, a cashless exercise of any such options, or pursuant to put rights in favor of
a holder of any options under the Layne Energy Option Plan, (B) the purchase or redemption
pursuant to and in accordance with a stock incentive plan, stock option plans or other
equity-based compensation plan or arrangement of the Company for directors, management or
employees of the

-2-

 

Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the net settlement of
options in connection with payment therefor, or (C) the delivery to the Company of shares
of the Company’s common stock or restricted stock units by directors, management and
employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to cover tax withholding obligations
associated with grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other
equity-based awards)”

     (d) Paragraph 6I (Layne Energy). Effective as of August 28, 2007, paragraph 6I of the
Agreement is amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the
following:

     “6I. Layne Energy. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 6B(3) and paragraph
6C, and acknowledging that the provisions of paragraph 6B(5) shall not be applicable to the
transactions contemplated by this paragraph 6I, up to 40% in the aggregate of the equity of
Layne Energy (which shall include any equity or options therefor issued under the Layne
Energy Stock Option Plan or any other stock option plan of Layne Energy) may be sold in one
or more public offerings if (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such sale and no Default or Event of Default occurs or is
reasonably likely to occur from such sale; (ii) for each of the two fiscal quarters most
recently ended prior to such sale, the ratio calculated in paragraph 6A(2) is less than
2.25 to 1.00 with such calculation being made as if Layne Energy was not a Subsidiary for
such periods and therefore excluded from such calculation; (iii) Layne Energy, promptly
following formation, is a Subsidiary Guarantor and remains a Subsidiary Guarantor, but following any such initial public offering, only
to the extent of Layne Energy’s Indebtedness to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and
(iv) to the extent proceeds of such offering in excess of $5,000,000 are used to repay,
prepay or otherwise retire Indebtedness of the Company, the Company shall make an offer to
prepay Indebtedness outstanding under the Notes and under the Bank agreement on a pro rata
basis. The Required Holders may accept such offer within 10 Business Days of receipt of
such offer by written notice to the Company. If the Required Holders fail to give such
notice, such failure will be deemed an acceptance of such offer. If such offer is
accepted, the Company shall prepay the Notes in accordance with paragraph 4B. If the
Required Holders reject such offer, the Company may use such excess proceeds to repay the
Indebtedness under the Bank Agreement. Further, notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph 6B(3) and paragraph 6C, and acknowledging that the provisions of paragraph 6B(5)
shall not be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this paragraph 6I, Layne Energy
may issue up to 10% (on a fully diluted basis) of the common stock of Layne Energy pursuant
to the Layne Energy Stock Option Plan.”

-3-

 

     (e) Paragraph 10B (Other Terms). Effective as of August 28, 2007, paragraph 10B of the
Agreement is amended by (i) deleting the definition of “Layne Energy” therein and replacing it with
the new definition thereof as set forth below and (ii) adding a new defined term “Layne Energy
Stock Option Plan”, as set forth below, in the appropriate alphabetical position therein:

     “Layne Energy” means Layne Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

time to time (including any successor or replacement plan) of Layne Energy, duly adopted by
Layne Energy’s board of directors, pursuant to which certain key employees of Layne Energy
