Dear Sirs
Re: Tethys Petroleum Limited — Initial Public Offering and Secondary Offering
We refer to the agency agreement entered into among us and you on or around 18 June 2007 (the “Agency Agreement”).
Words and expressions defined in the Agency Agreement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings when used in this letter.
We note that in terms of the Agency Agreement, inter alia:-
• | the Agents, as the exclusive agents of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, undertook to offer the Offered Shares (comprising the Primary Shares and the Secondary Shares) for sale and to use their best efforts to obtain subscriptions therefore; |

• | the Selling Shareholder granted to the Agents certain rights in relation to the sale of the Secondary Shares and, in particular, agreed to offer and sell through the Agents the Secondary Shares; |
• | in consideration of the agreement of the Agents to distribute the Offered Shares in the manner set out in the Agency Agreement, the Company and the Selling Shareholder severally agreed, inter alia, to pay the Agents the Agency Fee |
We note that Closing of the sale of the Primary Shares has now taken place. No sale of all or any part of the Secondary Shares has taken place.
The purpose of this letter is, following our recent discussions with the Lead Agent, to formalise arrangements between us in relation to the Secondary Shares, namely that it has been agreed between us that, notwithstanding any provision of the Agency Agreement:-
1 | the Agents are hereby released from all obligations to offer, sell or distribute on behalf of the Selling Shareholder the Secondary Shares; |
2 | the Selling Shareholder is hereby irrevocably and unconditionally permitted by the Agents (but without prejudice to the Selling Shareholder’s obligation to ensure compliance by it with applicable securities and other laws) to sell or otherwise transfer the Secondary Shares to such party or parties and on such terms as the selling Shareholder sees fit; |
3 | the Agents shall have no further right or entitlement to offer, sell or distribute on behalf of the Selling Shareholder all or any part of Secondary Shares; and |
4 | in particular, and without prejudice to the foregoing generality, the Agents shall not be entitled (whether in terms of Section 16.1 of the Agency Agreement or otherwise) to any Agency Fee in respect of the sale of the Secondary Shares. |
The Selling Shareholder agrees that in connection with any sale by it of any Secondary Shares, it shall not represent to the purchaser that the Secondary Shares are being sold under or are qualified by the Final Prospectus or that the Agents are acting as agents or underwriters for the sale in any capacity. The Selling Shareholder agrees that, in addition to its obligations under Sections 14 and 15 of the Agency Agreement, it shall indemnify the Agents for any Claims arising as a result of such a sale, provided that the Claim does not arise solely from an act or acts of any of the Agents.
If this letter accurately reflects the further agreement between us in relation to the Secondary Shares please communicate your acceptance by executing the enclosed copies of this letter where indicated and returning them to us.
Yours very truly
