Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

This FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “ Amendment ”), effective (subject to Section 2 below) as of June 30, 2008 (the “ Amendment Effective Date ”), by and among NGAS RESOURCES, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“ Holdings ”), DAUGHERTY PETROLEUM, INC., a Kentucky corporation (the “ Borrower ”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “ Lenders ”), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“ KeyBank ”), as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 30, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”); capitalized terms defined therein and used herein having the meanings specified therein unless otherwise defined herein.

Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend Section 2.02(e) of the Credit Agreement to increase the Conforming Borrowing Base from $75,000,000 to $80,000,000 and to extend the date on which the Borrowing Base is to equal the Conforming Borrowing Base from June 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008.

Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to make the amendments as provided herein upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE XI Amendments to Credit Agreement . The Credit Agreement is, as of the Amendment Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 hereof, hereby amended as follows:

Section 11.01. Section 2.02(e) of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“(e) Conforming Borrowing Base . The Conforming Borrowing Base is $80,000,000. The Conforming Borrowing Base shall be utilized solely for purposes of determining the Conforming Borrowing Base Usage under and for purposes of this Agreement. The amount of the Conforming Borrowing Base may be redetermined on or about October 1, 2008, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the same manner as the Borrowing Base may be redetermined on or about such date as provided in this Section 2.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning on December 31, 2008 and continuing through the Termination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be an amount which is equal to the Conforming Borrowing Base, as redetermined in accordance with Section 2.02, unless all of the Lenders agree in writing that the Conforming Borrowing Base should thereafter be maintained at an amount which is lower than the amount of the Borrowing Base then in effect.

Section 11.02. Schedule 1.01A of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 1.01A attached hereto.
