Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Second Amendment have the meaning given them in the Credit Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

A. Borrower, Lenders and Agent entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 11, 2005 (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated March 20, 2007, and as may be further amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

B. Borrower, Lenders and Agent have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition in its proper alphabetical order:

“Second Amendment” means the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 19, 2007 between Borrower, Lenders and Agent.

2. Schedules. Schedule 2.01 (Commitments and Pro Rata Shares) to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with Schedule 2.01 attached to this Second Amendment.

3. Borrowing Base. The parties agree that the Borrowing Base in effect as of July 16, 2007 is equal to $60,000,000.

4. Conditions. This Second Amendment shall be effective once (a) this Second Amendment has been executed and delivered by Borrower, Lenders and Agent, (b) a replacement Note is executed by Borrower and delivered to Bank of America, N.A. in form and substance satisfactory to Bank of America, N.A., (c) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower certifying as to incumbency of officers, no changes to certificate of incorporation and bylaws since the date of the certificate delivered in connection with the Credit Agreement, and resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors authorizing this Amendment, and (d) such other documents as Agent may reasonably request.

5. Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders and Agent that (a) it possesses all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and comply


with the terms of this Second Amendment, (b) this Second Amendment has been duly authorized and approved by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower, (c) no other consent of any Person (other than Lenders and Agent) is required for this Second Amendment to be effective, (d) the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment does not violate its organizational documents, (e) the representations and warranties in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this Second Amendment as though made on the date of this Second Amendment (except to the extent that such representations and warranties speak to a specific date or to the extent additional matters have been disclosed to Lenders and Agent in writing), (f) it is in full compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party, and (g) no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. The representations and warranties made in this Second Amendment shall survive the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment.

6. Scope of Amendment; Reaffirmation; Release. All references to the Credit Agreement shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment. Except as affected by this Second Amendment, the Loan Documents are unchanged and continue in full force and effect. However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Second Amendment) and any other Loan Document, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control and such other document shall be deemed to be amended to conform to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Borrower hereby reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party to and agrees that all Loan Documents to which it is a party to remain in full force and effect and continue to be legal, valid, and binding obligations enforceable in accordance with their terms (as the same are affected by this Second Amendment). Borrower hereby releases Lenders and Agent from any liability for actions or omissions in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to the date of this Second Amendment.

(b) Form. Each agreement, document, instrument or other writing to be furnished Lenders and Agent under any provision of this Second Amendment must be in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders, Agent and their counsel.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Second Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the undersigned and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(f) Multiple Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument. This Second Amendment may be transmitted and signed by facsimile or by portable document format (PDF). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Borrower, Lenders and Agent. Lenders and Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or PDF document or signature.

(g) Governing Law. This Second Amendment and the other Loan Documents must be construed, and their performance enforced, under Texas law.

(h) Entirety. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS AMENDED HEREBY) REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN BORROWER, LENDERS AND AGENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
