FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of October 1, 2005 between XTO ENERGY INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, trustee (hereinafter called the “Successor Trustee”).

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

The Company and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation (hereinafter called the “Prior Trustee”), entered into that certain Indenture dated as of September 23, 2004 (the “Indenture”) for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Company’s 5.00% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”).

The Indenture identifies Prior Trustee as Trustee. However, on September 12, 2005, the Company, Prior Trustee, and Successor Trustee entered into an agreement by which Successor Trustee succeeded Prior Trustee in Prior Trustee’s capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar effective October 1, 2005. Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

Section 8.1 of the Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any Holders, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements of Sections 5.9 and 5.10.

The Company and the Successor Trustee desire to update the Indenture, in accordance with and pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, to reflect that the Successor Trustee and not the Prior Trustee is serving in the capacity as Trustee under the Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and agreed as follows:

1. Successor Trustee. In the introductory paragraph of the Indenture, the designation of “Trustee” is updated to reflect that the Successor Trustee and not the Prior Trustee is the Trustee, so that, as so updated and changed, said introductory paragraph shall read in its entirety as follows:

2. References. Throughout the Indenture, references to the Trustee shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Trustee.
