entered into as of this 14th day of
January, 2009 by and between Far East Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), and

      WHEREAS,
the Company and Optionee previously entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the
"2004 Option Agreement")
dated as of February 24, 2004 setting forth the grant of options to purchase
400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the

      WHEREAS,
the Company and Optionee entered into an Amended and Restated Stock Option
Agreement (the "2007
Option Agreement") dated
December 27, 2007, solely with respect to 300,000 of the Option Shares (the
"Affected Options"),
which vested on or after January 1, 2005, in order to bring such options into
compliance with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code");

      

      WHEREAS,
the remaining 100,000 of the Option Shares remained subject to the 2004 Option
Agreement;

      

      WHEREAS,
the Company and Optionee desire to extend expiration of the Exercise Period for

February 24, 2014; and

      

      WHEREAS,
by executing this Agreement, the Company and Optionee desire to amend, replace
and supersede the 2007 Option Agreement.

      

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, it is agreed as
follows:

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.

              	
                Non-Qualified Stock
      Options to Purchase Shares.

              

      

      

      (a)           Number of Option Shares and
Option Prices.  The Company granted the Affected Options to
Optionee under the 2007 Option Agreement as non qualified stock options, to
purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Option Shares"), with an
exercise price of $2.09 per share ("Option Price").

      

      (b)           Exercise
Period.  The Affected Options shall be exercisable, in whole or
in part, subject to the vesting schedule and other terms set forth in this
Agreement, until February 24, 2014 (the "Exercise
Period").

      

      (c)           Vesting
Schedule.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Affected
Options are fully (100%) vested.

      

      2.          
  Manner of
Exercise and Terms of Payment.  The Affected Options may be
exercised in whole or in part, subject to the limitations set forth in this
Agreement, upon delivery to the Company of timely written notice of exercise,
accompanied by full payment of the Option Price of such Affected Options for the
Option Shares with respect to which such Affected Options are
exercised.  The Option Price may be paid by delivering a certified
check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the
Company.  The person entitled to the shares so purchased shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares as of the close of
business on the date of exercise and certificates for the shares of stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the person so entitled within a reasonable time,
not exceeding thirty (30) days, after such exercise.

      

      3.          
  Rights as
Stockholder.  Optionee or a permitted transferee of the
Affected Options shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with
respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to such Affected Options prior to
his or her exercise of such Affected Options.

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      4.       
     Adjustment of Purchase Price
and Number of Shares.  The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of these Affected Options and the Option Prices
for such Affected Options shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, as
provided in Schedule A attached hereto.

      

      5.       
     Investment
Representation.  Optionee represents and warrants to the
Company that Optionee is acquiring these Affected Options and the Option Shares
for Optionee's own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view
toward resale or other distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act").  Optionee acknowledges that the effect of the
representations and warranties is that the economic risk of any investment in
the Affected Options and Option Shares must be borne by the Optionee for an
indefinite period of time.  This representation and warranty shall be
deemed to be a continuing representation and warranty and shall be in full force
and effect upon such exercise of the Affected Options granted
hereby.

      

      6.      
      Exercisability.  The
Affected Options shall be exercisable only by Optionee, subject to the terms
herein, during his lifetime or by his assigns, heirs, executors or
administrators, as the case may be.  The Affected Options granted
hereunder and the Option Shares underlying the Affected Options may only be
assigned in compliance with Section 7 herein and applicable securities
laws.

      

      7.          
  Non-Transferability.  Optionee
recognizes that the Option Shares received pursuant to this Agreement will be
subject to various restrictions on sale and/or transfer, including but not
limited to, the restrictions imposed by Rule 144 under the 1933
Act.  Notwithstanding any rights that Optionee may possess under the
1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, Optionee hereby agrees that
he or she shall not be entitled, and the Company shall be under no obligation,
to remove the resale restriction from these Affected
Options.  Optionee additionally agrees that the Company is under no
obligation to remove the resale restriction from any number of Option Shares
exceeding ten percent (10%) of the average weekly trading volume in the
Company's securities during the ninety (90) days preceding the intended
sale.

      SCHEDULE
A

      

      Adjustment of Purchase Price
and Number of Shares

      

      1.           
 Adjustment.  The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Affected
Option and the Option Price of such Affected Option shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
follows:

      

      (a)            Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger.  At any time while an Affected Option
remains outstanding and unexpired, in case of (i) any reclassification or change
of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of such Affected Option (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from
no par value per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of outstanding securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Affected Option), (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the
Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value
to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable upon
the exercise of such Affected Option), or (iii) any sale or transfer to another
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, shall without payment of any additional consideration therefor, execute
a new option providing that the holder of such option shall have the right to
exercise such new option (upon terms not less favorable to the holder than those
then applicable to such option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of
each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of such option,
the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer.  Such new option shall provide for adjustments which shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 1 of Schedule A.  The provisions of this subsection 1(a)
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations,
mergers, sales and transfers.

      

      (b)           Subdivision or Combination
of Shares.  If the Company at any time while an Affected Option
remains outstanding and unexpired, shall subdivide or combine its capital stock,
the Option Price of such Affected Option shall be proportionately reduced, in
case of subdivision of such shares, as of the effective date of such
subdivision, or, if the Company shall take a record of holders of its capital
stock for the purpose of so subdividing, as of such record date, whichever is
earlier, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of
such shares, as of the effective date of such combination, or, if the Company
shall take a record of holders of its capital stock for the purpose of so
combining, as of such record date, whichever is earlier.

      

      (c)           Stock
Dividends.  If the Company at any time while an Affected Option
is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend in shares of, or make other
distribution of shares of, its capital stock, then the Option Price of such
Affected Option shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its capital stock for the purpose of receiving such
dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of
such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying
such Option Price in effect immediately prior to such payment or other
distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of shares of capital stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of capital stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution.  The provisions of this subsection 1(c) shall not apply
under any of the circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsection
1(a) or 1(b).

      

      (d)           Liquidating Dividends,
Etc.  If the Company at any time while an Affected Option is
outstanding and unexpired makes a distribution of its assets to the holders of
its capital stock as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or
other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available
for dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in
respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (other
than under the circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections (a)
through (c)), the holder of such Affected Option shall be entitled to
receive

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      upon the
exercise hereof, in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such
exercise, and without payment of any consideration other than the Option Price
of such Affected Option, an amount in cash equal to the value of such
distribution per share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock which, on the record date for such distribution, are issuable upon
exercise of such Affected Option (with no further adjustment being made
following any event which causes a subsequent adjustment in the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof), and an appropriate provision
therefor should be made a part of any such distribution.  The value of
a distribution which is paid in other than cash shall be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors.

      

      2.         
   Notice of
Adjustments.  Whenever any of the Option Price of an Affected
Option or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the terms of
such Affected Option at that Option Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
1 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate signed by its President
or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary
or Assistant Secretary, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring
the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the
Company's Board of Directors made any determination hereunder), and the Option
Price and number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at that Option Price
after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such
certificate to be mailed (by first class and postage prepaid ) to the registered
holder of such Affected Option.

      NON-QUALIFIED
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      

      THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of this 14th day of
January, 2009, by and between Far East Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), and
John C. Mihm ("Optionee").

      

      WHEREAS,
the Company and Optionee previously entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the
"Original Option
Agreement") dated as of May 24, 2004 setting forth the grant of options
to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common
Stock");

      

      WHEREAS,
the Company and Optionee desire to extend expiration of the Exercise Period for
the Options under the Original Option Agreement from May 24, 2009 to May 24,
2014; and

      

      WHEREAS,
by executing this Agreement, the Company and Optionee desire to amend, replace
and supersede the Original Option Agreement.

      

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, it is agreed as
follows:

      

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                1.

              	
                Non-Qualified Stock
      Option to Purchase Shares.

              

      

      

      (a)           Number of Option Shares and
Option Price.  The Company granted to Optionee a non-qualified
stock option (the "Option"), to purchase up to
400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Option Shares"), at an
exercise price of $2.00 per share ("Option Price").

      

      (b)           Exercise
Period.  The Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
subject to the vesting schedule and other terms set forth in this Agreement,
until May 24, 2014 (the "Exercise
Period").

      

      (c)           Vesting
Schedule.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Option is
fully (100% vested).

      

      2.    
       Manner of Exercise and Terms
of Payment.  The Option may be exercised in whole or in part,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, upon delivery to the
Company of timely written notice of exercise, accompanied by full payment of the
Option Price for the Option Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised.  The Option Price may be paid by delivering a certified
check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the
Company.  The person entitled to the shares so purchased shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares as of the close of
business on the date of exercise and certificates for the shares of stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the person so entitled within a reasonable time,
not exceeding thirty (30) days, after such exercise.

      

      3.           
 Rights as
Stockholder.  Optionee or a permitted transferee of the Option
shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares
of Common Stock subject to such Option prior to his or her exercise of the
Option.

      

      4.           
 Adjustment of
Purchase Price and Number of Shares.  The number and kind of
securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Option and the Option Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, as provided in Schedule A
attached hereto.

      

      5.           
 Investment
Representation.  Optionee represents and warrants to the
Company that Optionee is acquiring this Option and the Option Shares for
Optionee's own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view toward
resale or other distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("1933
Act").  Optionee acknowledges that the effect of the
representations and warranties is that the economic risk of any investment in
the Option and Option Shares must be borne by the Optionee for
an

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      indefinite
period of time.  This representation and warranty shall be deemed to
be a continuing representation and warranty and shall be in full force and
effect upon such exercise of the Option granted hereby.

      

      6.           
 Exercisability.  The
Option shall be exercisable only by Optionee, subject to the terms herein,
during his lifetime or by his assigns, heirs, executors or administrators, as
the case may be.  The Option granted hereunder and the Option Shares
underlying the Option may only be assigned in compliance with Section 7 herein
and applicable securities laws.

      

      7.          
  Non-Transferability.  Optionee
recognizes that the Option Shares received pursuant to this Agreement will be
subject to various restrictions on sale and/or transfer, including but not
limited to, the restrictions imposed by Rule 144 under the 1933
Act.  Notwithstanding any rights that Optionee may possess under the
1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, Optionee hereby agrees that
he or she shall not be entitled, and the Company shall be under no obligation,
to remove the resale restriction from this Option.  Optionee
additionally agrees that the Company is under no obligation to remove the resale
restriction from any number of Option Shares exceeding ten percent (10%) of the
average weekly trading volume in the Company's securities during the ninety (90)
days preceding the intended sale.

      SCHEDULE
A

      

      Adjustment of Purchase Price
and Number of Shares

      

      1.            
Adjustment.  The
number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Option and
the Option Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of certain events as follows:

      

      (a)           Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger.  At any time while this Option remains
outstanding and unexpired, in case of (i) any reclassification or change of
outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Option (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par
value per share to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of
outstanding securities issuable upon the exercise of this Option), (ii) any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change, other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from
no par value per share to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of outstanding securities issuable upon the exercise of this
Option), or (iii) any sale or transfer to another corporation of the property of
the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company, or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall without payment
of any additional consideration therefor, execute a new Option providing that
the holder of this Option shall have the right to exercise such new Option (upon
terms not less favorable to the holder than those then applicable to this
Option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Common Stock
theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Option, the kind and amount of shares
of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer.  Such new Option shall provide for adjustments which shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Section 1 of Schedule A.  The provisions of this subsection 1(a)
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations,
mergers, sales and transfers.

      

      (b)           Subdivision or Combination
of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Option
remains outstanding and unexpired, shall subdivide or combine its capital stock,
the Option Price shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of
such shares, as of the effective date of such subdivision, or, if the Company
shall take a record of holders of its capital stock for the purpose of so
subdividing, as of such record date, whichever is earlier, or shall be
proportionately increased, in the case of combination of such shares, as of the
effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall take a record of
holders of its capital stock for the purpose of so combining, as of such record
date, whichever is earlier.

      

      (c)           Stock
Dividends.  If the Company at any time while this Option is
outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend in shares of, or make other
distribution of shares of, its capital stock, then the Option Price shall be
adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
capital stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution
(or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such payment or other
distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Option Price in
effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction (a)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of capital stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of capital stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.  The
provisions of this subsection 1(c) shall not apply under any of the
circumstances for which an adjustment is provided in subsection 1(a) or
1(b).

      

      (d)           Liquidating Dividends,
Etc.  If the Company at any time while this Option is
outstanding and unexpired makes a distribution of its assets to the holders of
its capital stock as a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of capital or
other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available
for dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders made in
respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (other
than under the circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections (a)
through (c)), the holder of this Option shall be entitled to receive upon the
exercise hereof, in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such
exercise, and without payment of any consideration other than the Option Price,
an amount in cash equal to the value of such distribution per share of Common
Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock which, on the record
date

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      for such
distribution, are issuable upon exercise of this Option (with no further
adjustment being made following any event which causes a subsequent adjustment
in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof), and
an appropriate provision therefor should be made a part of any such
distribution.  The value of a distribution which is paid in other than
cash shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

      

      2.         
  Notice of
Adjustments.  Whenever any of the Option Price or the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable under the terms of this Option at that Option
Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Company shall promptly
make a certificate signed by its President or a Vice President and by its
Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or Assistant Secretary,
setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the
amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated
(including a description of the basis on which the Company's Board of Directors
made any determination hereunder), and the Option Price and number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable at that Option Price after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by
first class and postage prepaid ) to the registered holder of this
Option.
