2. Amendment of Notes.
a. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that the first sentence of Section 4(b) of each of the Notes held by such Buyer is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(b) Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control. In addition to the rights of the Holder under Section 4(a), upon a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Principal at a price equal to 100% (or 115% in the case of an event satisfying the definition of Change of Control pursuant to subsection (iii) below that is not pursuant to a definitive written
agreement executed by the Company and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the Principal plus the Interest Amount with respect to such Principal (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”).”
b. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees with the Company that the third sentence of Section 11 of each of the Notes held by such Buyer is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“For purposes of this Note: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than unsecured account trade payables that are (i) entered into or incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, (ii) on terms that require full payment within 90 days, (iii) not unpaid in excess of 90 days beyond invoice due date or are being contested in good faith and as to which such reserve as is required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has been made and (iv) not exceeding at any one time an aggregate among the Company and its Subsidiaries of $5,000,000), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures, redeemable capital stock or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (E) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, change, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person that owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (G) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above, and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.”
3. Waiver as to Section 2(f) of the 2005 Subordinated Notes.
a. The Company hereby confirms that by the terms of Section 2(f) of the 2005 Subordinated Notes, the Fixed Conversion Price has decreased to $1.25. However, each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably waives the right to receive any more shares upon conversion of the 2005 Subordinated Note, than it would have received had the Fixed Conversion Price remained at $1.88 per share. By way of example, a note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 that was originally convertible at $1.88 would have been converted into 531,915 shares. That note is still convertible into 531,915 shares, but the remaining principal balance of $335,106.25 must be paid in cash.
b. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees that whenever the terms of its 2005 Subordinated Note requires an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price that would decrease such price, the Company shall not be required to issue Buyer any more shares than it would have issued, had the Fixed Conversion Price remained at $1.88 per share. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, agrees that Buyer’s right to convert under Section 2 of the 2005 Subordinated Note shall be limited to that number of shares that Buyer would have received had the Fixed Conversion Price remained at $1.88 per share.
c. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably waives any adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2(f) of the 2005 Subordinated Notes resulting from the PRB Cashless Exercise and Delayed Sale Share Issuance.
4. Waiver as to Section 9(a) of the 2005 Warrants.
a. The Company hereby confirms that by the terms of the Section 9(a) of the 2005 Warrants, the Warrant Exercise Price has decreased to $1.25 per share. However, each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby waives the right to receive any more shares upon exercise of the 2005 Warrant, than it would have received had the Warrant Exercise Price remained at $1.88 per share. By way of example, a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares at $1.88 per share is now a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares at $.125 per share.
b. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably waives the right to receive any more shares upon exercise of the 2005 Warrant in the event of further decreases in the Warrant Exercise Price.
c. Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably waives any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the 2005 Warrant pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 2005 Warrants resulting from the PRB Cashless Exercise and Delayed Sale Share Issuance.
5. Trigger Event and Event of Default Waiver.
Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby waives (i) the Company’s failure to list as a lien in the 2005 Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment, Financing Statement and Fixture Filing to DAR, LLC, dated effective January 14, 2004, (ii) the breaches of Section 4(m) of the 2005 Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement and Section 11 of each of the 2005 Subordinated Notes held by such Buyer, as well
as the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the 2005 Subordinated Notes) under Sections 3(b)(vii) and 3(b)(viii) of each of the 2005 Subordinated Notes held by such Buyer and an Event of Default (as defined in the 2005 Subordinated Notes) under Sections 10(a)(ii) and 10(a)(iii) of each of the 2005 Subordinated Notes held by such Buyer, resulting solely from the Company having incurred Indebtedness (as defined in the Notes) in the form of obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services consisting of account trade payables exceeding an aggregate among the Company and its Subsidiaries of $2,500,000, and (iii) any Triggering Event, Event of Default or other default under the 2005 Subordinated Note or 2005 Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement resulting from the execution and delivery of the November 2006 Waiver and Amendment Agreement between the Company and the holders of the Company’s secured debt and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.
6. Payment upon PRB Sale.
Each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to accept as full and complete payment of principal and interest due under the 2005 Subordinated Notes, restricted shares of PetroHunter Stock, the number of which and the value of which are to be negotiated between each of the Buyers and the Company.
7. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:

9. Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of PetroHunter and materials relating to the offer and sale of the PetroHunter Stock that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company regarding PetroHunter. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 8. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the PetroHunter Stock involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the PetroHunter Stock.
10. Independent Nature of the Buyers. The obligations of each of the Buyers hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Buyers.

Nothing contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any of the Buyers pursuant hereto or thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute any of the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any of the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Buyers shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (in each case as amended hereby), and it shall not be necessary for any of the other Buyers to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The successors and assigns of such entities shall include their respective receivers, trustees or debtors-in-possession.
12. Further Assurances. The Company hereby agrees from time to time, as and when requested by any Buyer, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretary’s certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as such Buyer may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
13. Rules of Construction. All words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.
14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Denver, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
16. Section Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
17. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
18. Merger. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as amended hereby, represent the final agreement of each of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or prior or subsequent oral agreements, among any of the parties hereto.
