<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">On
July 5, 2012, Far East Energy (Bermuda), Ltd. (&ldquo;FEEB&rdquo;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Far East Energy Corporation, was
notified that the Ministry of Commerce of The People's Republic of China approved the fifth modification agreement (the &ldquo;Modification
Agreement&rdquo;) for the Production Sharing Contract (the &ldquo;Shouyang PSC&rdquo;) for the Exploitation of Coalbed Methane
Resources for the Shouyang Area in Shanxi Province, Qinshui Basin, The People&rsquo;s Republic of China, dated April 16, 2002,
between China United Coalbed Methane Corporation Ltd. (&ldquo;CUCBM&rdquo;) and Phillips China Inc. (predecessor in interest to
ConocoPhillips China Inc., as predecessor in interest to FEEB). The Modification Agreement extends the exploration period to June
30, 2015 for approximately 297,415 acres (approximately 1,203.6 square kilometers) (designated as Areas A and B on Annex II of the
Modification Agreement). The Modification Agreement also extends the exploration period to June 30, 2013 for approximately 121,080
acres (approximately 490 square kilometers) (designated as Area C on Annex II of the Modification Agreement). In connection with
the execution of the Modification Agreement and the certification of Chinese reserves by the Chinese Ministry of Land Resources
with respect to the approximately 24,710 acre (approximately 100 square kilometer) area designated as Area A, CUCBM and FEEB
exercised rights under the Shouyang PSC to apportion participating and operating interests in this area. CUCBM elected to forego
its participation rights in approximately 16,060 acres (approximately 65 square kilometers) in this area (designated as Area A1).
Accordingly, FEEB will be responsible for 100% of all exploration and development costs associated with coalbed methane production
activities in Area A1 and will be allocated 100% of all revenues generated from the production of coalbed methane resources attributable
to Area A1. Also, FEEB elected to forego its rights to approximately 8,650 acres (approximately 35 square kilometers) in this area
(designated as Area A2), and CUCBM may proceed independently at its sole risk to develop Area A2. Accordingly, CUCBM will be responsible
for 100% of all exploration and development costs associated with coalbed methane production activities in Area A2 and will be
allocated 100% of all revenues generated from the production of coalbed methane resources attributable to Area A2. Also, under
the terms of the Modification Agreement, FEEB will</FONT> relinquish approximately 66,520 acres (approximately 269.2 square kilometers)
<FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">in the Shouyang block deemed noncommercial by FEEB</FONT>, while retaining approximately 418,500
acres (approximately 1,693.6 square kilometers) <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">in the Shouyang block</FONT>.</P>

Item 1.01.	Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On
July 5, 2012, Far East Energy (Bermuda), Ltd. ("FEEB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Far East Energy Corporation, was
notified that the Ministry of Commerce of The People's Republic of China approved the fifth modification agreement (the "Modification
Agreement") for the Production Sharing Contract (the "Shouyang PSC") for the Exploitation of Coalbed Methane
Resources for the Shouyang Area in Shanxi Province, Qinshui Basin, The People's Republic of China, dated April 16, 2002,
between China United Coalbed Methane Corporation Ltd. ("CUCBM") and Phillips China Inc. (predecessor in interest to
ConocoPhillips China Inc., as predecessor in interest to FEEB). The Modification Agreement extends the exploration period to June
30, 2015 for approximately 297,415 acres (approximately 1,203.6 square kilometers) (designated as Areas A and B on Annex II of the
Modification Agreement). The Modification Agreement also extends the exploration period to June 30, 2013 for approximately 121,080
acres (approximately 490 square kilometers) (designated as Area C on Annex II of the Modification Agreement). In connection with
the execution of the Modification Agreement and the certification of Chinese reserves by the Chinese Ministry of Land Resources
with respect to the approximately 24,710 acre (approximately 100 square kilometer) area designated as Area A, CUCBM and FEEB
exercised rights under the Shouyang PSC to apportion participating and operating interests in this area. CUCBM elected to forego
its participation rights in approximately 16,060 acres (approximately 65 square kilometers) in this area (designated as Area A1).
Accordingly, FEEB will be responsible for 100% of all exploration and development costs associated with coalbed methane production
activities in Area A1 and will be allocated 100% of all revenues generated from the production of coalbed methane resources attributable
to Area A1. Also, FEEB elected to forego its rights to approximately 8,650 acres (approximately 35 square kilometers) in this area
(designated as Area A2), and CUCBM may proceed independently at its sole risk to develop Area A2. Accordingly, CUCBM will be responsible
for 100% of all exploration and development costs associated with coalbed methane production activities in Area A2 and will be
allocated 100% of all revenues generated from the production of coalbed methane resources attributable to Area A2. Also, under
the terms of the Modification Agreement, FEEB will
relinquish approximately 66,520 acres (approximately 269.2 square kilometers)
in the Shouyang block deemed noncommercial by FEEB
, while retaining approximately 418,500
acres (approximately 1,693.6 square kilometers)
in the Shouyang block
.
The above discussion
of the Modification Agreement is a summary description of certain terms and conditions of such agreement and is qualified in its
entirety by the full text of the Modification Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
