restated as of September 19, 1997 (as amended hereby, the "Agreement")
(capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement);
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement in order to modify
certain provisions relating to Patina's obligation to repurchase Shares subject
to the Overallotment Option;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to replace the phrase
"7,500,000 Shares" with the phrase "7,500,000 Shares or such larger number as

2. Section 2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following proviso at the end thereof:
; provided, however, that the First Reserve Shares and the Unpurchased
Overallotment Shares (in each case, as defined below) shall be purchased by

3. The introductory paragraph of Section 2(d) of the Agreement is hereby
amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a First Reserve

VII, Limited Partnership ("First Reserve") and Patina shall pay as
additional consideration for the First Reserve Shares interest on the Fund
VII Amount based upon the Applicable Rate, with interest accruing on any

the amount of any amounts that remain unpaid by Patina after the
Overallotment Termination Date. In addition, if any Shares that were
Unpurchased Overallotment Shares on the Closing Date are subsequently
purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the Overallotment Option, then,
simultaneously with such purchase, Patina shall pay SOCO interest with
respect to such Shares, based upon the Applicable Rate, and accruing from

option, if any, granted to the underwriters in the Offering by SOCO.
(ii) The term "Unpurchased Overallotment Shares" shall mean any
Shares subject to the Overallotment Option that are not actually
purchased and paid for by the underwriters.

the sum of (A) the Unadjusted Overallotment Purchase Price, plus (B)
interest (based upon the Applicable Rate) on the Unadjusted

Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed.
7. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Share Repurchase
Agreement dated as of July 31, 1997 and amended and restated as of September 19,
1997 (as amended, the "Agreement") by and between Snyder Oil Corporation
("SOCO") and Patina Oil & Gas Corporation ("Patina"). Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Agreement.
The parties agree as follows, notwithstanding any provision in the
Agreement to the contrary. At the Closing, Patina will make to SOCO a non-
interest bearing advance in an amount equal to the Unadjusted Overallotment
Purchase Price (the "Advance"), which Advance shall be in addition to the
payment of the consideration for the Shares required to be purchased by Patina
at the Closing. If and to the extent that the underwriters exercise the
Overallotment Option, then on the date of any such exercise, SOCO shall pay the
amount of net proceeds received by SOCO from the underwriters on such date to
Patina in satisfaction of a corresponding amount of the Advance. If on the
Overallotment Termination Date there remain any Unpurchased Overallotment
Shares, then SOCO shall apply any portion of the Advance not repaid to Patina,
to the satisfaction of Patina's remaining obligation to pay the purchase price
for such Unpurchased Overallotment Shares. Upon the making of the Advance by
Patina in accordance with the provisions hereof, (i) Patina's obligation to
deliver the Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been satisfied and (ii) the
Unadjusted Overallotment Purchase Price shall cease to bear interest in
accordance with the Agreement.
This letter may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
