ACCEPTANCE:
CONFIRMATION, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, AGREEMENT AND CONSENT

# | NAME OF HOLDER: | PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTE: | |
| | | |
2 | SJMB LP c/o Mr. Jim Harrison The St. James Companies 4299 San Felipe, Suite 120 Houston, Texas 77027 | $1,000,000 | |
The undersigned (herein called “Holder”) is the holder of that certain Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the original principal amount set forth above, made by Black Warrior Wireline Corp. (the “Company”) as one of a series of notes issued during the period December 1999 through February 2000 (the “1999 Notes”). The Note was issued pursuant to that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale dated December 17, 1999 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and the related Borrower Security Agreement dated December 17, 1999 (the “Security Agreement”). The Note is subject to that certain Subordination Agreement made as of September 14, 2001 among General Electric Capital Corporation, Holder, and the holders of other subordinated debt of the Company (as heretofore amended, the “2001 Subordination Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto. Under the 2001 Subordination Agreement, among other things, the Note is subordinated to the Company’s indebtedness owing to General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”), our senior secured lender, pursuant to a credit facility entered into September 2001, which currently expires on November 15, 2004 (the “Current Credit Facility”). The Company is currently seeking an extended, refinanced, renewed, replacement or refunded senior debt facility, encompassing a senior secured revolving line of credit and senior secured term loan, which is referred to in this document as a “2004 Credit Facility.” This is more fully described in a Solicitation Statement dated October 12, 2004, which accompanies this Acceptance and the receipt of which you hereby acknowledge.
