          A.     Subject to adjustments pursuant to Sections 2.8(d), (e), (g), and (h) of the U.S. Credit Agreement, by execution of this Amendment, each of the Global Administrative Agent, the Combined Lenders, the U.S. Lenders, the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower agree during the period from the date hereof to the earlier of (i) November 1, 2008 (the “Interim Redetermination Date”) or (ii) the date of the next redetermination of the Global Borrowing Base pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.8 of the U.S. Credit Agreement that (a) the Global Borrowing Base shall equal U.S.$1,000,000,000, (b) the U.S. Borrowing Base shall equal U.S.$710,000,000, (c) the Allocated U.S. Borrowing Base shall equal U.S.$600,000,000, and (d) the Allocated Canadian Borrowing Base shall equal U.S.$400,000,000.

          B.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the U.S. Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.8 thereof, the Global Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base shall be redetermined at the request of the U.S. Borrower on or about the Interim Redetermination Date pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.8(e) of the U.S. Credit Agreement (the “Interim Redetermination”). In connection with such Interim Redetermination, the U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Global Administrative Agent prior to October 1, 2008 a Reserve Report dated as of June 30, 2008 and such updated engineering, production, operating and other data as the Global Administrative Agent or any other Combined Lender may reasonably request; provided, that, such Reserve Report may, in the discretion of the U.S. Borrower, be (i) a new Reserve Report, (ii) the Reserve Report delivered in connection with the immediately preceding redetermination (whether scheduled or unscheduled) of the Global Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base, and/or (iii) an update of such Reserve Report described in subclause (ii) above. The Supermajority Lenders (in the case of the Global

Borrowing Base) or the U.S. Supermajority Lenders (in the case of the U.S. Borrowing Base) (and, in either case, with the agreement of the U.S. Borrower, such agreement in either case to be given in its sole discretion) if such number would result in an increase in the Global Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base or otherwise, the Required Lenders or U.S. Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall approve and designate the new Global Borrowing Base and U.S. Borrowing Base in accordance with the procedures and standards described in Section 2.8(b) of the U.S. Credit Agreement and the U.S. Borrower shall provide a Borrowing Base Allocation Notice to the Global Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.8(d)(iii) of the U.S. Credit Agreement; provided that in the event that the U.S. Borrower fails to provide such Borrowing Base Allocation Notice, the Global Borrowing Base shall be allocated between the Allocated U.S. Borrowing Base and Allocated Canadian Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.8(d)(iii) of the U.S. Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, the terms and provisions of Section 2.8 of the U.S. Credit Agreement shall apply to the Interim Redetermination as if such redetermination was a discretionary redetermination requested by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(e) of the U.S. Credit Agreement. If a Global Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs as a result of the Interim Redetermination, the U.S. Borrower will prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Loans (as defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement) and Loans (as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.11(b) of the U.S. Credit Agreement.

          D.     In accordance with Section 2.1(c) of each of the U.S. Credit Agreement and the Canadian Credit Agreement, the Global Administrative Agent hereby notifies the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Combined Lenders, the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower of the reallocation of the Global Commitments under the Combined Credit Agreements as set forth and described on Schedule 2.1 — U.S. Credit Agreement and Schedule 2.1 — Canadian Credit Agreement attached hereto.

          IV.     Rearrangement of Existing Loans. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment:

          A.     All of the Combined Commitments and outstanding Combined Obligations under the Combined Credit Agreements as of the date of such effectiveness shall hereby be restructured, rearranged, renewed, extended and continued under the applicable Combined Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) and all Combined Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding

under the applicable Combined Credit Agreement as of the date of such effectiveness shall hereby become Combined Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under the applicable Combined Credit Agreement (as amended hereby).

          B.     In connection herewith, the Combined Lenders party to the Combined Credit Agreements prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment (the “Existing Lenders”) hereby sell, assign, transfer and convey, and the Combined Lenders hereby purchase and accept, so much of the aggregate Combined Commitments under, Combined Loans outstanding under, and participations in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to, the Combined Credit Agreements such that the Combined Commitment of each Combined Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.1 to each of the Combined Credit Agreements (as amended hereby). The foregoing assignments, transfers and conveyances are without recourse to the Existing Lenders and without any warranties whatsoever by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Existing Lender as to title, enforceability, collectibility, documentation or freedom from liens or encumbrances, in whole or in part, other than the warranty of each Existing Lender that it has not previously sold, transferred, conveyed or encumbered such interests.

          V.     Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date (the “Effective Date”) when the Global Administrative Agent shall have received:

          A.     Counterparts hereof duly executed by the U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, the Global Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent and the Combined Lenders (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, telegraphic, telex, or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

          B.     To the extent required pursuant to Section 5.17(c) of the U.S. Credit Agreement after giving effect to the establishment of the Global Borrowing Base and the U.S. Borrowing Base pursuant to Article III.A. hereof, Mortgages duly executed by the U.S. Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable), together with such other agreements and documents as required by the terms of Section 5.17(c) and Section 5.17(d) of the U.S. Credit Agreement.

          C.     An amendment fee for the account of each Combined Lender which is increasing their Combined Commitment in the manner and amount agreed upon between U.S. Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent in that certain fee letter dated April 16, 2008 and such other fees otherwise agreed to in writing by the U.S. Borrower.

          VI.     Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. To induce the Combined Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereby reaffirm, as of the date hereof, the following:

               (i)     The representations and warranties of each Loan Party (as such term is defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement and the Canadian Credit Agreement, collectively, the “Combined Loan Parties”) set forth in the Combined Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct on and as of the date hereof (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct in all material respects as of such date and, except to the extent waived in writing by the Combined Lenders, the

Required Lenders, the Majority Lenders, the U.S. Lenders or the U.S. Required Lenders, as applicable).

          (ii)     Each of the Combined Loan Parties (a) is a corporation or limited partnership duly incorporated or organized (as applicable), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (b) has all corporate or limited partnership power (as applicable) and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and (c) is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation or limited partnership in each jurisdiction where a failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (iii)     The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the other Combined Loan Documents by each Combined Loan Party (to the extent each Combined Loan Party is a party to this Amendment and such Combined Loan Documents) (a) are within such Combined Loan Party’s corporate or limited partnership powers, (b) when executed will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited partnership action, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (other than (1) actions or filings pursuant to the Exchange Act and (2) actions or filings that have been taken or made and are in full force and effect) and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable Governmental Rule (including, without limitation, Regulation U) or of the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, regulations, partnership agreement or comparable charter documents of any Combined Loan Party or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon any Combined Loan Party or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Borrowing Base Property or Collateral other than the Liens securing the Combined Obligations.

          (iv)     This Amendment and each other Combined Loan Document constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, valid and binding obligations of each Combined Loan Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Combined Loan Party which executes the same in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar Governmental Rules affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (b) equitable principles of general applicability (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings at law or in equity).

          (v)     Neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and will exist under either Combined Credit Agreement after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or the other Combined Loan Documents. Neither the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries nor the Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is in default under, nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under, any Material Agreement to which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Canadian Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is bound which default would reasonably be expected to have a Material

Adverse Effect. The U.S. Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article VI of the U.S. Credit Agreement.

               (vi)     No event or events have occurred since December 31, 2007 which individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          VII.     Defined Terms. Terms used herein when defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement (including, to the extent applicable, after giving effect to this Amendment) shall have the same meanings herein unless the context otherwise requires.

          VIII.     Reaffirmation of Combined Credit Agreements. This Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Combined Credit Agreements, and the Combined Credit Agreements, as amended hereby, are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in each and every respect. All references to the Combined Credit Agreements herein and in any other document, instrument, agreement or writing shall hereafter be deemed to refer to the Combined Credit Agreements as amended hereby.

          IX.     Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

          NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SENTENCE AND AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE TEXTUAL AMENDMENTS CONTAINED IN SECTIONS I AND II OF THIS AMENDMENT, (i) THE U.S. CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY) SHALL CONTINUE TO BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.9(a) OF THE U.S. CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND (ii) THE CANADIAN CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY) SHALL CONTINUE TO BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.9(a) OF THE CANADIAN CREDIT AGREEMENT.

          X.     Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          XI.     Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy (or other electronic transmission acceptable to the Global Administrative Agent) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

          XII.     Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

          XIII.          Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that neither the U.S. Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Combined Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

          XIV.          No Oral Agreements. THIS AMENDMENT, THE COMBINED CREDIT AGREEMENTS, AS AMENDED HEREBY, AND THE OTHER COMBINED LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

          XV.          Loan Document. This Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document,” a “Canadian Loan Document” and a “Combined Loan Document” under and as defined in the U.S. Credit Agreement, and a “Loan Document,” a “U.S. Loan Document” and a “Combined Loan Document” under and as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement.
