THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (this “First Amendment”) is entered into as of October 24, 2008, among QUEST RESOURCE CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors listed on the signature pages hereto, ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Lenders parties to the hereinafter defined Credit Agreement (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent,” respectively), and as the Lender.

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 11, 2008 among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender (the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless otherwise defined in this First Amendment, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement; all section, exhibit and schedule references herein are to sections, exhibits and schedules in the Credit Agreement; and all paragraph references herein are to paragraphs in this First Amendment.

RECITALS

A. The former chairman and chief executive officer (“CEO”) of the Borrower has been accused of engaging in a series of unauthorized transactions spanning several years whereby funds of the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower were transferred to an entity controlled by the former CEO and periodically repaid in such a fashion that the transactions were not timely discovered and over time resulted in there being a misappropration of approximately $10,000,000 of funds of the Borrower or its Affiliates by the former CEO for his personal benefit (the “Misappropriation Transaction”).  As a result of the Misappropriation Transaction, various representations and warranties of the Borrower may no longer be true and
correct and certain covenants may have been breached.  The internal investigation and forensic accounting investigation relating to the Misappropriation Transaction is still pending at the time of execution of this First Amendment and may continue for an indefinite period of time.

B.        To rectify possible covenant violations, the Borrower has requested certain waivers and amendments.

C.        Borrower has requested Lender make additional term loan advances of up to $6,000,000 to provide working capital  and to make Capital Expenditures for the development of the Borrower’s Oil and Gas Properties.

D.        Subject to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Lender are willing to agree to such requested waivers and amendments and to provide such additional term loan advances subject to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment. 

Accordingly, for adequate and sufficient consideration, the parties hereto agree, as follows:

 (v)         Section 7.17(a) – Interest Coverage Ratio -- insofar as a result of or related to the Misappropriation Transaction the Borrower permitted its Interest Coverage Ratio at any fiscal quarter-end to be less than 2.5 to 1.0; and

 (i)         Section 8.01(b) – Specific Covenants -- insofar as a result of or related to the Misappropriation Transaction the Borrower failed to observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.03(a),  Section 6.12, Section 7.02, Section 7.04, Section 7.11, Section 7.13, Section 7.17(a) or Section 7.17(b);

 (e)         For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender confirms that if the Borrower’s representations are as set out in Article V of the Credit Agreement, as amended and waived herein, and the Borrower complies with the requirements of Section 4.02, Section 4.03, Article VI and Article VII of the Credit Agreement, as amended and waived herein, the Borrower may borrow under the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement.         

 

 (f)         The foregoing waivers shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the Lender of any other covenant, condition or obligation on the part of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as set forth in Paragraph 3 of this First Amendment.  In addition, the foregoing waivers shall in no respect evidence any commitment by the Lender to grant any future consents or waivers of any covenant, condition or obligation on the part of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document whether related to or arising out of the Misappropriation Transaction or otherwise.  Any further waivers or consents must be specifically agreed to in writing in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
