Dear Sir or Madam:

Far East Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell 105,515,300 shares (the “Offered Shares” or “Offered Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to certain investors (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).

The Company hereby confirms as follows its agreements with the Placement Agent.

The Placement Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Investor whose offer to purchase Offered Securities has been solicited by the Placement Agent and accepted by the Company, but the Placement Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, have any liability to the Company if any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Offered Securities and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. The Company shall pay to the Placement Agent an aggregate amount equal to 5.6762% of the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Offered Securities, if any, actually sold as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) upon the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Placement Agent, without the prior consent of the Company, may appoint any co-agents or sub-agents in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities and may allocate any portion of such fee to such co-agents or sub-agents except as may otherwise be agreed by the Company and the Placement Agent.

2. Delivery and Payment. At 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 24, 2010 or at such other time on such other date as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Placement Agent (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”), the Placement Agent shall cause the Investors to wire an amount equal to the price per share as shown on the cover page of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) for each and all of the Offered Securities offered pursuant to the Prospectus to an account designated by the Company and the Company shall deliver the Offered Securities to the Investors, which delivery may be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company. The closing (the “Closing”) shall take place at the office of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

(c) The Company was not at the time of the initial filing of the Registration Statement, has not been since the date of such filing, and will not be on the Closing Date, an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act). The Company has been since the time of initial filing of the Registration Statement and continues to be eligible to use Form S-3 for the offering of the Offered Securities.

(d) The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, as of the date hereof, and at the Closing Date conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”). The Preliminary Prospectus conformed, and the Prospectus will conform, when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The documents incorporated by reference in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus conformed, and any further documents so incorporated will conform, when filed with the Commission, to the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act and the Exchange Act.

(g) The documents incorporated by reference in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such document or necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) The Pricing Disclosure Materials, including each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not, as of the Applicable Time, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any statement contained in the Pricing Disclosure Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Placement Agent and furnished in writing by the Placement Agent to the Company expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Materials, as set forth in Section 8(b).

(i) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations on the date of first use, and the Company has complied or will comply with any filing requirements applicable to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Offered Securities, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. The Company has not made any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent. The Company has retained in accordance with the Rules and Regulations all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations.

(j) The Company is, and at the Closing Date will be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company (i) has, and at the Closing Date will have, full corporate power and authority to conduct all the activities conducted by it, to own or lease all the assets owned or leased by it and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and (ii) is, and at the Closing Date will be, duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign organization in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the activities conducted by it or the character of the assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary; except, in each case, where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect or would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on or affecting the business, properties, management, consolidated financial position, stockholders’ equity, prospects or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). Complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and of the bylaws of the Company and all amendments thereto have been delivered or made available to the Placement Agent, and no changes therein will be made subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date.

(k) Each of the Company’s significant subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 1.02 (w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”) are listed on Schedule 1 to this Agreement. Each Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Each Subsidiary is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing which will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the shares of issued capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest, restriction on transfer, shareholders’ agreement, voting trust or other defect of title whatsoever.

(l) The issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, are not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights. The Company has an authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Prospectus as of the dates referred to therein. The descriptions of the securities of the Company in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are, and at the Closing Date will be, complete and accurate in all respects. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company does not have outstanding any rights (other than stock options or other equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive and stock purchase plans) or warrants to subscribe for, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or exchangeable for, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, any shares of capital stock or other securities.

(m) The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and is the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability and public policy.

(n) The issuance and sale of each of the Offered Shares have been duly authorized by the Company, and the Offered Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights. The holders of the Offered Securities will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders. The Offered Securities, when issued, will conform in all material respects to the description thereof set forth in or incorporated into the Prospectus.

(o) The consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods covered thereby in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any pro forma financial statements or data included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act, and the assumptions used in the preparation of such pro forma financial statements and data are reasonable, the pro forma adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances described therein and the pro forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements and data. No other financial statements or schedules of the Company, any Subsidiary or any other entity are required by the Act or the Rules and Regulations to be included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials or the Prospectus. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the Rules and Regulations) comply with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Act, to the extent applicable. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations or any “variable interest entities” within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46), of a character required to be described in or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that are not disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus or so filed.

(p) JonesBaggett LLP (formerly ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., the “Accountants”), who have reported on such consolidated financial statements and schedules, are registered independent public accountants with respect to the Company as required by the Act and the Rules and Regulations and by the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes and schedules included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and present fairly the information shown therein.

(q) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company, or to the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any applicable provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated therewith (the “Sarbanes Oxley Act”). Each of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act with respect to all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Commission. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. The Company has taken all reasonable actions necessary to ensure that it is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act that are in effect and with which the Company is required to comply.

(r) The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) The Placement Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Placement Agent, but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Placement Agent might otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that, for all purposes under this Agreement, the name of the Placement Agent and the paragraph relating to placement agents’ fees and reimbursement of expenses appearing under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus constitute the only information relating to the Placement Agent furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(c) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 8 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 8, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party; (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that a conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would prevent the counsel selected by the indemnifying party from representing the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party); or (3) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred following submission of invoices (including time and expense descriptions) to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 8 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or the Placement Agent, the Company and the Placement Agent will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Placement Agent such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and the Placement Agent may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting Company expenses) received by the Company as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus bear to the fee received by the Placement Agent hereunder. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Placement Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the fee received by it, except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that the relevant liability resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any indemnified party, and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 8(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 8(d). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

9. Termination.

(a) The obligations of the Placement Agent under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, by notice to the Company from the Placement Agent, without liability on the part of the Placement Agent to the Company if, prior to delivery and payment for the Offered Securities, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agent: (i) trading in the Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or by the OTC Bulletin Board; (ii) trading in securities generally on the OTC Bulletin Board shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such exchange or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any of such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets in the United States or any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis shall have occurred, the effect of any of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Placement Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.

(b) If this Agreement shall expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, or if the sale of the Offered Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Placement Agent set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Placement Agent, reimburse the Placement Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection herewith in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000.

10. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Offered Securities or any other services the Placement Agent may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Placement Agent: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and any other person, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other, exists; (ii) the Placement Agent is not acting as an advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Company, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the offering price of the Offered Securities, and such relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Placement Agent may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Placement Agent and its respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company hereby waives any claims that the Company may have against the Placement Agent with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

11. Notices. Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified, shall be mailed or delivered (a) if to the Company, at the office of the Company, ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇, Chief Financial Officer, with copies to Weycer, Kaplan, Pulaski & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.C., Eleven ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., or (b) if to the Placement Agent, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: Macquarie Capital Advisors Legal Department, with copies to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. Any such notice shall be effective only upon receipt. Any notice under Section 8 may be made by facsimile or telephone, but if so made shall be subsequently confirmed in writing.

12. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agent set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of: (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers or directors, the Placement Agent or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

13. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Placement Agent, the Company and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person except that (i) the indemnification and contribution contained in Sections 8(a) and (d) of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Placement Agent and any person or persons who control the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnification and contribution contained in Sections 8(b) and (d) of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who have signed the Registration Statement and any person or persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No Investor shall be deemed a successor because of such purchase.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Placement Agent, propose to enter into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Far East Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), providing for an offering (the “Offering”) of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, and in order to induce you to act as Placement Agent in the Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, the undersigned will not, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, (1) offer for sale, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company’s capital stock (the “Company Securities”) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Securities (including without limitation, Company Securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Company Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in clause (1) and (2) above shall not apply to (a) transfers (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts to any charitable organization, (ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts to any other entity or person, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iv) with the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, or (b) the acquisition or exercise of any stock option or any restricted stock award issued pursuant to the Company’s existing stock option plans or equity incentive plans, including any exercise effected by the delivery or sale of shares of Company Securities held by the undersigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this letter agreement shall prohibit the undersigned from establishing a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, that the undersigned shall not engage in any transaction under such trading plan until the termination of the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement. For purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

Notwithstanding the above, to the extent you are at such time providing research coverage to the Company and subject to the restrictions set forth in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), then, if (1) during the last 17 days of the lock-up period, (A) the Company issues an earnings release or (B) material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the lock-up period, then the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless the Placement Agent waives, in writing, such extension.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this letter agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned understands that, if the Offering does not occur or is terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the shares of Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this letter agreement. In addition, this letter agreement shall terminate if the offering has not closed on or before September 15, 2010.

This lock-up agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles that would apply any other law.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), which will be executed by and between Far East Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Macquarie Capital Advisors (the “Placement Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement.

In consideration of the Placement Agency Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares, directly or indirectly, of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) or any other security of the Company, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date which is 90 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, except with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants, stock options or other equity incentive awards currently outstanding under any employee benefit or purchase plans described or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement shall not apply to: (i) securities required to be issued pursuant to contractual obligations of the Company in effect as of the date of this letter agreement and disclosed to the Placement Agent or its counsel prior to the Closing; (ii) securities issued on a pro rata basis to all holders of a class of outstanding equity securities of the Company; and (iii) equity securities issued pursuant to employee benefit or purchase plans described or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

Notwithstanding the above, to the extent you are at such time providing research coverage to the Company and subject to the restrictions set forth in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4), if (1) during the last 17 days of the lock-up period, (A) the Company issues an earnings release or (B) material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the lock-up period, then the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless the Placement Agent waives in writing, such extension.

It is understood that, if the Company at any time does not intend to proceed with the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Offering (the “Securities”) pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, if the Placement Agency Agreement does not become effective, or if the Placement Agency Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall expire, terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities, the undersigned will be released from its obligations under this letter agreement.

MATTERS TO BE COVERED IN THE COMPANY COUNSEL LEGAL OPINION FROM WEYCER, KAPLAN, PULASKI & ▇▇▇▇▇, P.C.

1. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas.

2. To our knowledge, the statements in the Prospectus under the heading “Description of Securities We are Offering” in the Registration Statement, insofar as such statements purport to summarize legal matters, agreements or documents discussed therein, fairly present, to the extent required by the Act and the rules thereunder, in all material respects, such legal matters, agreements or documents.

3. There is (i) no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or other governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator in United States federal court or the courts of the State of Texas, and to our knowledge, in any foreign jurisdiction, pending or to our knowledge threatened against the Company or its properties by a third party of a character required to be disclosed in the Prospectus that is not disclosed in the Prospectus, and (ii) no indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan, franchises or other agreement or instrument of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which is not filed as required by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

4. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and to our knowledge no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or threatened by the Commission. Any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b).

5. Except as set forth in or otherwise contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials or the Prospectus, to our knowledge, no person has the right to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register any securities for sale under the Act by reason of the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission or by reason of the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, except for rights which have been waived.

6. The Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus, including each of the documents incorporated by reference therein, and each amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Materials and the Prospectus, as the case may be, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, as of their respective effective or issue dates, or as of the dates they were filed with the Commission, as the case may be (other than the financial statements and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Exchange Act. We express no opinion regarding documents of the Company that were furnished to the Commission.

7. To our knowledge, there is not pending or threatened in writing any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are parties, or to which the property of the Company or its Subsidiaries are subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, that is required to be disclosed in the Prospectus and is not adequately disclosed therein.

8. No consent, approval, authorization or filing with or order of any U.S. Federal or state court or governmental agency or body in the United States having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the execution and delivery of the Placement Agency Agreement by the Company or the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant thereto, except such as have been obtained under the Act and except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered Securities by the Placement Agent in the manner contemplated in the Placement Agency Agreement and in the Prospectus, or under the bylaws, rules and regulations of FINRA.

9. The Company is not, nor will be upon completion of the offering, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In addition, we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Placement Agent and with representatives of the Company and its accountants concerning the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Materials and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although we have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and relying as to materiality in part upon the factual statements of officers and other representatives of the Company, we advise you that no facts have come to our attention that lead us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Prospectus, at the time it was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the documents and information comprising the Pricing Disclosure Materials, taken as a whole as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we have not been requested to and do not make any comment in this paragraph with respect to the financial statements, supporting schedules, footnotes, oil and gas reserve data, and other financial or accounting data and information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Materials).
