date all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 are satisfied (the "Funding
Date") to the Termination Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions

procedures in requesting Advances under this Section 2.1:

(a) The Borrower shall make each request for an Advance to the
Lender in writing, specifying the date of the requested Advance and the amount
thereof. Each request shall be by (i) any officer of either of the entities
constituting the Borrower; or (ii) any person designated as the Borrower's agent
by any officer of either of the entities constituting the


6
<PAGE>

Borrower in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (iii) any person whom the
Lender reasonably believes to be an officer of the Borrower or such a designated
agent.

(b) Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article IV, the Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance
within five (5) days by wiring the same to the Borrower's account identified in
the Advance request. Any request for an Advance shall be deemed to be a
representation by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have
been satisfied as of the time of the request.

Section 2.2 INTEREST; USURY. Interest accruing on the Note shall be due
and payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning March
31, 2007.

(a) NOTE. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the
outstanding principal balance of the Note shall bear interest at the Floating
Rate. Advances shall be added to the principal balance of the Note upon receipt
of the Advance by the Borrower. An Advance shall be deemed to be received by the
Borrower when it is credited to the account identified in the Borrower's wiring
instructions.

(b) USURY. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect
which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, all
agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between the
Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event
whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest,
additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by
the usury laws of the State of Colorado. If any payments in the nature of
interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are
held to be in excess of the applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the
State of Colorado, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall
be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments
in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not
exceed the applicable limits imposed by the usury laws of the State of Colorado,
in compliance with the desires of the Borrower and the Lender. This provision
shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of
the Loan Documents and all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, or
their successors and assigns.

Section 2.3 ADVANCE FEES. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Lender
an Advance fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of the Advance, payable
when the Lender makes the Advance to Borrower.

Section 2.4 WARRANTS. The Borrower shall issue to the Lender warrants
to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of PetroHunter Stock upon the

($3,000,000.00). The warrants will be exercisable until five (5) years of the
date of this Agreement. The exercise price of the warrants shall be a price
equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the weighted average price of the
PetroHunter Stock for the thirty (30) days immediately prior to each warrant
issuance date.

Section 2.5 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST; WHEN INTEREST DUE AND PAYABLE.
Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances
outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of

last day of each calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2007 and on the Maturity
Date.

THE BORROWER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may prepay the
Advances in whole or in part at any interest payment date without notice,
penalty, or bonus. The Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility at any time if
it (i) gives the Lender at least 30 days' prior written notice. Subject to
termination of the Credit Facility and payment and performance of the Note, the
Lender shall release or terminate the Security Interest and the Security
Documents to which the Borrower is entitled by law.

Facility only with respect to that portion of the Properties sold.

Section 2.8 MANDATORY REPAYMENT. Beginning at the end of the first
quarter following the end of the Availability Period, the Borrower shall
commence making principal payments. Principal payments shall be made in such
amounts as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Lender based on the then
outstanding principal balance in order to repay the Advances by the Maturity
Date.

Section 2.9 PAYMENT ON NON-BANKING DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day,
such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension
of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the
Advances, as the case may be.

Section 2.10 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of
Advances to provide funds for drilling, development, installation and operation
of facilities all related to Borrower's interest in its Piceance Basin
properties in Colorado, and other mineral interests owned and to be acquired by
Borrower, as well as ongoing working capital needs.

obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or
transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender.
The Borrower will join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any
time after the Borrower or the Lender gives such notice to an account debtor or
other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender's name or in the
Borrower's name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at
any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to
payment, or grant any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or
otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the obligations (including
collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor.

Section 3.4 ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE. As additional security for the
payment of the Note, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Lender any and all
monies (including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance and refunds of
unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the
Borrower with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time
hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business
records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrower hereby directs
the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to the Lender. At
any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need
not), in the Lender's name or in the Borrower's name, execute and deliver proof
of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments
representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release
any claim against the issuer of any such policy.
