The Servicer shall direct each User to make all payments with respect to the Series 2002-A Contracts which are due after the related Pledge Date directly to the Lockbox Account.

                    (b)       The Servicer shall issue and maintain a standing instruction to the Lockbox Bank under the Lockbox Agreement to the effect that (x) on each Business Day the Lockbox Bank shall (i) cause all items received in the post-office box related to the Lockbox Account since the preceding Business Day relating to the Series 2002-A Contracts to be deposited into the Lockbox Account, and (ii) remit by electronic funds transfer into the Series 2002-A Facility Account all available funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account and (y) if the Lockbox Bank receives a written notice from the Series Controlling Party stating that a Series Event of Default has occurred hereunder, the Lockbox Bank shall thereafter follow such directions as it may thereafter receive from the Series Controlling Party with respect to Collections
on the Series 2002-A Contracts (without the consent of any other Person), and shall not thereafter follow any directions of the Servicer (unless otherwise directed by the Series Controlling Party).  Such standing instruction shall be evidenced by an agreement with the Lockbox Bank in form and substance acceptable to the Series Controlling Party.  The Servicer will transfer any payments it receives directly rather than by payment to the Lockbox Account by or on behalf of the Users pursuant to the Series 2002-A Contracts and all Recoveries in respect thereof to the Series 2002-A Facility Account immediately upon receipt thereof.

                    (c)       Neither the Servicer, any Obligor nor any Affiliate thereof shall direct or shall have directed any payments to be remitted to the Lockbox Account unless such payments relate to the Series 2002-A Contracts, or to Contracts relating to other Series of Notes assigned to Group A.

(vi)
  	
  
the Agent shall have received all such other   documents, opinions and other information as it shall have reasonably   requested not fewer than ten Business Days in advance.
  

                    (e)       In addition to the provisions of paragraph (b) above, in which a pledge of additional Series 2002-A Contracts results in an increase in the Series 2002-A Note Balance, during the Revolving Period, a Pledge of additional Series 2002-A Contracts may also be funded from the monthly cash flow, as set forth in clause fifteenth of Section 3.03(a)(i).  In connection with such a Pledge, the Obligor, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above, may Pledge such additional Series 2002-A Contracts to the Trustee to hold in trust as part of the Series 2002-A Trust Estate without receiving any additional Advance Amount from the Purchasers, but in consideration of receiving the Advance Amount paid under clause fifteenth of Section 3.03(a)(i) hereof,
by delivering a Pledge Notice to the Trustee and the Agent, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Pledge Date (which shall be a Settlement Date).

                    (f)       In addition to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (e) above, in which a Pledge of additional Series 2002-A Contracts is funded by the Purchasers, or is made to sustain the revolving nature of the facility, the Obligor, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) above, may Pledge Pledged Property to the Trustee to be held in trust as part of the Series 2002-A Trust Estate without receiving any additional Advance Amount, by delivering a Pledge Notice to the Trustee not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Pledge Date (which shall be a Business Day, but need not be a Settlement Date).

40

                    (g)       If a Purchaser makes an Advance in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the Agent shall remit the related Advance Amount to the Series 2002-A Facility Account or to such other account as the Obligors’ Agent may specify in writing, in same day funds, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time).  The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Agent of the amount of such Advance Amount and shall appropriately note such Advance Amount (and the increased Series 2002-A Note Balance) on the next succeeding monthly Servicer’s Certificate.

                    (h)       The Agent shall and is hereby authorized to record on the grid attached to the Series 2002-A Note (or at the Agent’s option, in its internal books and records) the date and amount of any Advance Amount paid by it on behalf of a Purchaser, and each repayment thereof; provided, that failure to make any such recordation on such grid or any error in such grid shall not adversely affect the Agent’s rights with respect to the full Series 2002-A Note Balance and its right to receive interest payments in respect of the Series 2002-A Note Balance.

                    (i)       The Obligors’ Agent may, not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Termination Date under clause (i) of the definition thereof, by written notice to the Agent on behalf of the Purchasers, make request for Purchasers to extend the Termination Date for an additional period of three years.  The Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Purchasers of the Obligors’ Agent’s request.  Each Purchaser shall make a determination, in its sole and absolute discretion, not less than sixty (60) days after receipt of such request as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested.  The failure of each Purchaser to provide timely notice of its decision to the Agent shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Purchaser to extend the
Termination Date.  The Termination Date may only be extended by 100% of the Purchasers.

                    (j)       The Obligors’ Agent may, not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Liquidity Expiration Date, by written notice to the Agent and the Liquidity Provider, make request for the Liquidity Provider to extend the Liquidity Expiration Date on terms reasonably acceptable to Obligor’s Agent.  The Liquidity Provider shall make a determination, in its sole and absolute discretion, not less than sixty (60) days after receipt of such request as to whether or not it will agree to the extension requested.  The failure of the Liquidity Provider to provide timely notice of its decision to the Obligor’s Agent shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by the Liquidity Provider to extend the Liquidity Expiration Date.

                    (a)       Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Servicer Termination, the Trustee, at the direction of the Series Controlling Party, shall, by notice (the “Servicer Termination Notice”) then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all, but not less than all, of the rights of the Servicer under this Series 2002-A Supplement; provided, further, that notwithstanding Section 9.01 of the Master Agreement, in no event shall the Servicer be terminated with respect to this Series 2002-A Supplement without the prior consent of the Series Controlling Party.

                    (b)       On and after the time the Servicer receives a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 5.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Series 2002-A Supplement, whether with respect to the Series 2002-A Notes or the Series 2002-A Trust Estate or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of this Series 2002-A Supplement and, without limitation, such successor Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Servicer Termination Notice, whether to complete the transfer of Series 2002-A
Trust Estate and related documents or otherwise.

45

                    (c)       The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Series 2002-A Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the Series 2002-A Trust Estate.  To assist the successor Servicer in enforcing all rights with respect to any Related Security or under Broker Agreements and Insurance Policies to the extent that they relate to the Contracts, the Servicer, at its own expense, shall transfer its electronic records relating to such Contracts to the successor Servicer in
such electronic form as the successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall transfer the related Contract Files and all other records, correspondence and documents relating to the Contracts that it may possess to the successor Servicer in the manner and at such times as the successor Servicer shall reasonably request.  In addition to any other amounts that are then payable to the Servicer under this Series 2002-A Supplement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for any unreimbursed Servicer Advances made during the period prior to the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 5.02.

                    Section 5.03    Waiver of Past Defaults.

                    (a)       Notwithstanding Section 9.04 of the Master Agreement, the Series Controlling Party, on behalf of all Series 2002-A Noteholders, may waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences in any Event of Servicer Termination as may be defined herein, in the Master Agreement or in any Series Supplement.  Any such waiver must be in writing and be signed by the Series Controlling Party or the Trustee acting on behalf (and at the direction) of the Series Controlling Party.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Servicer Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Series 2002-A Supplement or otherwise.  No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent similar or dissimilar default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly waived in accordance with this Section 5.03.

                    (b)       Notwithstanding Section 9.01 of the Master Agreement, the Servicer shall not be terminated with respect to this Series 2002-A Supplement and the Series 2002-A Trust Estate without the prior written consent of the Series Controlling Party.

                    Section 5.04    Effects of Servicer Termination.

                    (a)       Upon the appointment of the successor Servicer, the terminated Servicer shall hold in trust for the Trustee and immediately remit any Scheduled Payments, Residual Receipts, Recoveries, Overdue Payments, Security Deposit, Insurance Proceeds, Advance Payments, Prepayments, and proceeds of any Related Security that it may receive pursuant to any Contract, any Broker Agreement, Insurance Policy or otherwise to the successor Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee.

46

                    (b)       After the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice, the terminated Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration or servicing of the Series 2002-A Trust Estate or the enforcement, custody or collection of the Contracts, and the successor Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except (i) that the terminated Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the successor Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee promptly upon receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts held or received by the former Servicer (properly endorsed where required for the successor Servicer to collect them) as payments upon or otherwise in connection with Contracts or the Series 2002-A Trust Estate and (ii) the terminated Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its rights and responsibilities hereunder and in assisting the successor Servicer in assuming the role of Servicer and the transfer of the responsibility of Servicer hereunder.

                    (b)       Notwithstanding Section 9.09 of the Master Agreement, any successor Back-up Servicer under this  Series 2002-A Supplement with respect to the Series 2002-A Trust Estate must be approved by the Series Controlling Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

                    (c)       If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to this Series 2002-A Supplement and the Series 2002-A Notes and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Series 2002-A Noteholder notice of such Default or Event of Default promptly after it occurs and shall notify the Obligor, the Obligor’s Agent, the Transferors and the Servicer of any such Default or Event of Default promptly after it occurs.  Notwithstanding Section 11.02 of the Master Agreement, the Trustee may not withhold the notice for any reason, including, without limitation, if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Series 2002-A Noteholders.

48

                    Section 5.08   Resignation and Removal of Trustee.  The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Obligor, the Servicer, the Rating Agencies and the Agent.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Obligor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with the prior written consent of the Series Controlling Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee.  If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee, which successor Trustee must be approved by the Series Controlling Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

                    If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement or this Supplement and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Obligor, the Servicer or the Series Controlling Party, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or at any other time as the Series Controlling Party may determine, then the Obligor (with the consent of the Series Controlling Party) may, or the Series Controlling Party may, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee reasonably acceptable to the Series
Controlling Party by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

                    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant hereto shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 11.10 of the Master Agreement.

                    Section 5.09   Control by Holders.  The Series Controlling Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Series 2002-A Trust Estate; provided, that

	
  
 
  	
  
(i)
  	
  
such direction shall not be in conflict with any   rule of law, with the Master Agreement, the Series 2002-A Supplement or the   Series 2002-A Related Documents, and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(ii)

Not later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Settlement Date the Obligor shall remit such amount to the Agent (by wire transfer to an account to be designated by the Agent, which designation may be a standing wire direction) in immediately available funds.  Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the Redemption Price.  The Agent shall promptly thereafter distribute the applicable amounts to each of the applicable Purchasers in accordance with their respective interests therein.

                    (b)       upon the date set for tender, the Agent shall receive either (i) if it so elects, in lieu of payment, a new Series of Notes or (ii) payment in an amount equal to the then Series 2002-A Note Balance being tendered, plus interest accrued but unpaid on such Series 2002-A Note to, but not including, the date of tender, together with all other fees and amounts then due and payable or relating to the Series 2002-A Note Balance being tendered, or to the related Series 2002-A Noteholders pursuant to the terms hereof, or of the Note Purchase Agreement;

50

                    (c)       the purchaser of any Series 2002-A Notes so tendered shall not be the Obligor or any Affiliate of the Obligor;

                    The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall apply whether or not a Series Event of Default shall have occurred and then be in effect.

and conditions of the Series 2002-A Supplement to the Master Facility
Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2002 (as amended and restated on March 15,
2006, and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Series Supplement”) among the Servicer, the
Obligor, the Obligors’ Agent, the Trustee and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
Agent (the “Agent”), to which the Series 2002-A Noteholder, by virtue of its
acceptance hereof, assents and by which the Series 2002-A Noteholder is bound.

                    The
Obligor has pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2002-A Secured
Parties, and the Trustee has accepted the pledge of, all of the Obligor’s now
owned and existing and hereafter acquired or arising right, title and interest
in and to the Series 2002-A Trust Estate described in the Series 2002-A
Supplement.

                    It
is the intent of the Obligor and the Series 2002-A Noteholder that, for
federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Series Note
will be evidence of indebtedness of the Obligor.  The Obligor and the Series 2002-A Noteholder, by the acceptance of
this Series Note, agree to treat this Series Note for federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Obligor secured by the
Series 2002-A Trust Estate.

may from time to time be increased; provided that the outstanding
principal balance of this Series Note shall not exceed the dollar amount first

Agent, the date and amount of each Advance made by the Purchasers, each
continuation thereof, the interest rate from time to time on each Advance and

that the failure of the Agent to make any such recordation (or any error in
such recordation) shall not affect the obligations of the Obligor hereunder or
under the Series Supplement and Master Facility Agreement in respect of this

obligations of the Obligor, the Servicer, the Agent and the Trustee and the
rights of the Series 2002-A Noteholder under the Master Facility Agreement or

the Trustee without, in certain cases, the consent of the Series 2002-A Noteholder,
as more particularly described in the Master Facility Agreement and the Series
Supplement.

                    The
transfer of this Series Note is subject to certain restrictions set forth in
the Master Facility Agreement, the Series Supplement and the Note Purchase
Agreement.

                    The

none of the foregoing shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

                    Unless
the certificate of authentication attached hereto has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature, this Series Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Master Facility Agreement or the

Re: Application for the Extension of Phase Two of the Exploration Period under the Qinnan PSC.

Dear Sir:

Far East Energy Corporation (“FEEC”) previously elected to enter Phase Two of the Exploration
Period as described in the Production Sharing Contract for the Exploration of Coalbed Methane
Resources for the Qinnan Area, Shanxi Province, Qinshui Basin, The People’s Republic of China (the
“Qinnan PSC”). FEEC also previously requested and received extensions of Phase Two from China
United Coalbed Methane Corporation, Ltd., (“CUCBM”), by letters dated January 24, 2005 and November
18, 2005. Phase Two of the Exploration period is currently set to expire on March 31, 2006. FEEC
hereby submits an application to extend Phase Two of the Exploration Period until June 30, 2006.
The purpose of the extension is to provide ConocoPhillips China, Inc. (“CPCI”) with sufficient time
to make an election under the terms of the farmout agreement between FEEC and CPCI.

FEEC respectfully requests that CUCBM grant a three (3) month extension of Phase Two of the
Exploration Period. It is understood and agreed by FEEC that the three month extension to June 30,
2006 shall not extend the overall Exploration Period of five (5) consecutive Contract Years as set
forth in Article 4.2 of the Qinnan PSC. The granting of the requested three (3) month extension to
Phase Two shall result in a corresponding reduction to the term of Phase Three of the Exploration
Period from one and one quarter Contract Year (1.25) to one Contract Year (1.0).

Based upon FEEC’s previous experience and dealings, FEEC understands that Ministry of Commerce
approval is not required for an amendment that does not extend the overall five (5) year
Exploration Period. It is FEEC’s further understanding that this application, if approved, shall
be sufficient to extend Phase Two of the Exploration period until June 30, 2006.

Your approval of this application will be highly appreciated. If you have any questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very Truly Yours,

/s/ Jeff R. Brown
