Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

     The parties to the Purchase Agreement acknowledge, and each desires to amend the Purchase Agreement, effective immediately prior to the Closing referred to in paragraph 1 below, to provide, among other things, that: (i) the Closing with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares will occur at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2007; (ii) certain covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement relating to reorganization transactions with respect to shares of Alcave no longer reflect the procedures to be carried out prior to Closing; (iii) the covenant contained in the Purchase Agreement relating to the assignment of political risk insurance no longer reflects the procedures to be carried out prior to Closing; (iv) a dividend payable by Alcave to PDC after the Closing should be reimbursed by PDC to the Purchaser, net of certain Taxes suffered, paid or payable by PDC or any Affiliate of PDC with respect to such dividend; (v) Purchaser will not withhold any withholding tax in respect of certain Shares and Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser for any and all Taxes, fines, fees and penalties imposed, up to the limit set forth below, by any Panamanian or Venezuelan taxing authority on certain entities; (vi) certain modifications be made to the Schedules and Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement;

and (vii) the Table of Contents to the Purchase Agreement makes reference to a Section of the Purchase Agreement which does not exist.

     In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, notwithstanding any provision of the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the parties to the Purchase Agreement hereby agree as follows, such agreement to be effective immediately prior to the Closing referred to in paragraph 1 below:

          (b) Section 1.3(d)(iii) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

“At the Closing, in furtherance but not in duplication of Section 1.2(b), the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Amount less the COCESA Amount, minus $24,120,297, which represents the Estimated Netting Amount, plus $2,133,087 (the “ Estimated Cocesa Adjustment Amount ”), which reflects the portion of such Estimated Netting Amount allocable to the COCESA Shares (the “ Closing Payment ”).”

          (c) Section 1.3(d)(iv) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

“Within fifty (50) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers, at the Purchaser’ sole cost and expense, a statement setting forth the Closing Netting Amount (the “ Closing Statement ”).

COCESA Amount and increased by the Estimated COCESA Adjustment Amount) exceeds the Aggregate Closing Payment, in either case, together with simple interest accruing on such payment at the Prime Rate from and after October 31, 2007 through but not including the date of payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving party. As used herein, “Prime Rate” means, as of any date, the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on such date or, if not published on such date, on the most recent date of publication.”
