Lender prior to the execution of the Modification Papers and incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Modification Papers.  

        1.03    Amendments to Original Loan Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Original Loan Agreement shall
be deemed to be amended as follows:  

         3.1  Extension of Maturity Date. The parties have agreed to extend the maturity from
September 9, 2002 to February 1, 2005. Accordingly, the definition of "Maturity Date" contained in Section 1.0 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:  

        "Maturity Date' means February 1, 2005."  

         3.2 Removal of Reducing Feature. The revolving credit facility created under the Original Loan
Agreement is a
reducing revolving facility. Pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Original Loan Agreement, the Borrowing Base reduces each month in the amount of the Monthly Reduction Amount. The parties have agreed
to remove the reducing feature from the credit facility created by the Original Loan Agreement. Accordingly, the Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:  

         (a)  The word "reducing" is hereby removed from the first line of the first paragraph on page 1.  

         (b)  The definition of "Monthly Reduction Amount" is hereby removed from Section 1.1.  

         (c)  The last sentence of Section 2.3 which reads "In addition, principal payments may be required from time to time in accordance with the Borrowing Base reduction
schedule set forth in Section 5.5 hereof" is hereby removed from Section 2.3.  

         (d)  Section 5.5 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:  

        "5.5 Intentionally Omitted."  

         3.3 Adjustment of Determination Dates. The Borrowing Base is redetermined as of each
Determination Date. The
Original Loan Agreement defines Determination Dates as November 1 and May 1 of each year. The parties have agreed to change the Determination Dates to April 1 and October 1
of each year. Accordingly, Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Original Loan Agreement are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows:  

        "5.1
Periodic Determinations of Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined by Bank as of October 1 and April 1
of each year (each a "Determination Date') until maturity, commencing April 1, 2002. The Borrowing Base, as redetermined, shall remain in effect until the next Determination Date, provided the
Borrowing Base may be redetermined between Determination Dates in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof." 

        5.2
Engineering Data to be Provided Prior to Scheduled Determination Dates.  

         (a)  On or before February 15 of each year for the Determination Date of April 1, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Reserve Report and the other data specified
in  

2

 

 Section 8.4 hereof. Bank shall then determine the Borrowing Base for the six (6) month period commencing April 1.  

         (b)  On or before August 15 of each year for the Determination Date of October 1, Borrower shall deliver to Bank such information, reports and data pertaining
to Mineral Interests of Borrower in all of its oil and gas properties, including those oil and gas properties which constitute the Mortgaged Properties, as Bank may reasonably request. Such
information shall (i) set forth the historical production data of the oil and gas reserves included in such properties, (ii) set forth for each property prices received for production,
lease operating expenses, capital expenditures, gross revenues, net revenues, taxes and such other information as Bank may deem necessary or appropriate, (iii) set forth for each property
any changes since the date of most recent Reserve Report, if any, in its working interest or net revenue interest therein, and (iv) be accompanied by a certification of Borrower to the effect
that no material adverse changes have occurred since the date of the last Reserve Report except those which have previously been disclosed to Lender in writing. Bank shall then determine the Borrowing
Base for the six (6) month period beginning October 1.  

        (c)  On February 15 and August 15 of each year, Borrower shall pay Bank an administrative fee of $5,000 for the next following determination of the Borrowing
Base pursuant hereto."  

         3.4  Recharacterization of Fee. The $5,000 fee deposit described in Section 5.3 of the Original Loan Agreement is an administrative fee rather
than an engineering fee. Accordingly, the word "engineering" shall be changed to "administrative" on the fourth and fifth lines of the first sentence of Section 5.3 of the Original Loan
Agreement. 

        3.5  Increase of Permitted Distribution Basket. The parties have agreed (a) to increase the dollar amount of distributions permitted by
Section 9.10 of the Original Loan Agreement from $100,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year to $2,000,000 in the aggregate during the period from the date hereof to the Maturity Date, and
(b) to limit any such payments to periods when no Potential Defaults or Events of Default are continuing or will result therefrom. Accordingly, the last clause of Section 9.10 of the
Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

"...;
provided that Borrower may make the distributions to its shareholders of not more than $2,000,000 in the aggregate during the period from
February 1, 2002, to the Maturity Date for the purchase or redemption of its capital stock, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default is then continuing or will occur as a result
thereof." 

        3.6  Amendment of Warranty as to Engineered Value of Properties. Section 10.3 of the Original Loan Agreement shall be
amended to read in its entirety as follows: 

        "10.3
Concerning the Mortgaged Properties. The Mortgaged Properties are described in and covered by the engineering reports which have
previously been delivered to and relied upon by Bank in connection with this Agreement, and Borrower owns at least the decimal percentage Mineral Interests in such properties as are specified in such
engineering reports. The Mortgaged Properties represent not less than 85% of the Engineered Value of all of Borrower's oil and gas properties. "Engineered Value' as used in the preceding sentence
means future net revenues discounted at the discount rate being used by the Bank as of the date of any such determination and utilizing the pricing parameters of the Bank then in effect as of the date
of any such determination." 

3

 

        1.04    Representations and Warranties. To induce the Lender to enter into this First Amendment, the Borrower represents and
warrants as follows (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof):  

         4.1  Power and Authority. The Borrower is a duly formed and organized and validly existing corporation under the laws of the State of Colorado.
The
Borrower has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Modification Papers and to incur and perform the obligations provided for therein. The Borrower has taken all necessary action
to authorize the execution and delivery of the Modification Papers.  

         4.2  No Violation of Agreements. Neither the execution nor the delivery of the Modification Papers, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, will contravene any provision of applicable law or will conflict or be inconsistent with the terms, covenants and conditions to any agreement by which the Borrower is bound or to
which it is a party.  

        4.3  Consents. No consent or approval of any public authority or other third party is required as a condition to the
validity
or performance of this First Amendment.  

         4.4  Enforceability. Each of the Modification Papers has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and
constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms.  

        4.5  No Defaults. No Event of Default or Potential Default exists.  

        1.05    No Further Amendments. Except as previously amended in writing or as amended hereby, the
Original Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged and all provisions shall remain fully effective between the parties.  

        1.06    Limitation on Agreements. The agreements and amendments set forth herein are limited precisely
as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a waiver or waivers of or a consent or consents to or an amendment of any other term or condition in the Original Loan Agreement, or (b) to
prejudice any right or rights which the Lender now has or may have in the future under or in connection with the Original Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any of the other documents
referred to therein. This First Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.  

        1.07    Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. In making proof of this
First Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart thereof signed by each of the parties hereto.  

        1.08    Incorporation by Reference. This First Amendment is part of the Original Loan Agreement. All of
the miscellaneous terms and conditions contained in the Original Loan Agreement shall apply with equal force to this First Amendment, including without limitation the governing law provision, the
attorneys' fees provision, and the waiver of jury trial.  

        1.09    Entirety, etc. This instrument and all of the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement
between the parties. To the extent this First Amendment conflicts with any of the other Loan Documents, this First Amendment shall control.  

        1.10    Notice of Final Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE
PARTIES.
