Re: Amendment to the License Agreement between Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. and William Marsh Rice University, Agreement # OTT LA 09-1-001 (the “License Agreement”)
 
Dear Stephen:
 
This Letter agreement between William Marsh Rice University (“Rice”) and Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc.

This stay is contingent upon Solterra working diligently and in good faith with Rice to agree upon mutually agreeable revisions to the Company Diligence Milestones in Appendix B of the License Agreement before the end of this 90 day stay period.
 
All other provisions of the License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
 
Please indicate your agreement to the terms of this Letter agreement as set forth above by signing where indicated below and returning a copy to my attention no later than December 22, 2010.
 
Sincerely,
