2.3           Section 7.21.  Section 7.21 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 7.21           Use of Loans and Letters of Credit.  The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used (a) to provide working capital, (b) to refinance existing indebtedness (including the Existing Credit Agreement), (c) for the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including the Blacksand Acquisition and the Kaiser Francis Acquisition, (d) for the issuance of Letters of Credit, and (e) for general corporate purposes, including Restricted Payments.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged principally, or as one of its or their important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board).  No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board.”
