NOW THEREFORE, the Company and each of the Buyers, severally and not jointly, hereby agree as follows:

PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES, WARRANTS AND OVERRIDES.

a. Purchase and Sale of Notes, Warrants and Overrides. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below, the Company shall issue and sell to each Buyer, and each Buyer severally agrees to purchase from the Company (i) Notes in the respective principal amounts set forth opposite such Buyer’s name on the Schedule of Buyers, (ii) Warrants exercisable for the respective number of Warrant Shares set forth opposite such Buyer’s name on the Schedule of Buyers, which Notes and Warrants shall be issued to the Buyers on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1(b)), (iii) Overrides as provided in Section 1(d)(i). The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Notes, Warrants and Overrides purchased by each Buyer shall be the product of $8,075,000, multiplied by such Buyer’s allocation percentage (as set forth opposite such Buyer’s name on the Schedule of Buyers (such Buyer’s “Allocation Percentage”)) (representing an aggregate purchase price of $8,075,000 for the aggregate Notes, Warrants and Overrides to be purchased by the Buyers at the Closing.

b. The Closing Date. The date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of this Agreement, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6 and 7 (or such later or earlier date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and Marquis). The Closing shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as the Company and Marquis may designate in writing. As used in this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

c. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) Buyers shall pay the Purchase Price to the Company for the Notes and Warrants to be issued and sold to Buyers on the Closing Date, by transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions (less any amount deducted and paid in accordance with Section 4(d) and/or Section 4(i)), which instructions shall (among other things) specify that an aggregate of $5,000,000 of the Purchase Price shall be wired into the Acquisition Account, and (ii) the Company shall deliver to Buyers the Notes and Warrants, in each case duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the names of Buyers.

d. Overrides.

(i) On the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries that own any Real Property (as defined in Section 3(bb)) to, deliver to each of the Buyers Overrides, each duly and validly executed by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries (as applicable), providing such Buyer with perpetual overriding royalty interests, effective from the Closing Date, in the hydrocarbon production of all of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ current and future interest in all of the Current Override Properties equal to three percent (3%), multiplied by such Buyer’s Allocation Percentage.

(ii) During the period commencing on (and including) the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and terminating on (and excluding) the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase from the Buyers all (but not less than all) of the Overrides issued to the Buyers prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the Override Exchange”), by delivery of a written notice of election (the date of delivery of the written notice, the “Override Exchange Election Date,” and each such written notice, an “Override Exchange Notice”) to each of the Buyers, provided that the Conditions to Override Exchange (as set forth in Section 1(d)(iii)) are satisfied (or waived in writing by each of the Buyers). An Override Exchange Notice shall be irrevocable by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled or permitted to effect the Override Exchange, or deliver any Override Exchange Notice, unless the Company takes the same action, at the same time, with respect to all of the Overrides. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the Override Exchange Election Date, each of the Company and Buyers holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Overrides shall select an oil and gas industry recognized appraiser, independent of the Company, the Subsidiaries and each of the Buyers (each, an “Appraiser” and together, the “Appraisers”), to determine the Fair Market Value of the Overrides held by each of the Buyers. The designation of an Appraiser by the Company and by Buyers holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Overrides, respectively, shall not be made without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Appraiser shall be directed to deliver a written report (each, a “Valuation Report”) to the Company and each of the Buyers as to such Appraiser’s valuation of the Overrides (in the aggregate and as to those held by each Buyer) as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Override Exchange Election Date (the “Valuation Deadline”). No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Override Exchange Date, each Buyer shall deliver to the Company a written notice (an “Override Exchange Election Notice”) as to Buyer’s election (A) to receive Override Exchange Shares as (I) Common Override Exchange Shares or (II) on or after the Preferred Authorization (as defined in Section 4(z)), Preferred Override Exchange Shares, or a combination of Common Override Exchange Shares and Preferred Override Exchange Shares and, if a combination, as to the respective proportions thereof; or (B) to receive Warrants (“Override Warrants”) to purchase Warrant Shares (“Override Warrant Shares”) at an initial exercise price per share of $0.01. If the Company has delivered an Override Exchange Notice in accordance with this Section 1(d)(ii) and each of the Conditions to Override Exchange (as set forth in Section 1(d)(iii)) are satisfied (or waived in writing by the Buyers), then, on the Override Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver to each of the Buyers a number (rounded to the nearest whole number, with 0.5 being rounded up) of Override Exchange Shares (or, if so elected by such Buyer in its Override Election Notice, Override Warrants to purchase a number of Warrant Shares) equal to the quotient of (X) the Fair Market Value of the Overrides held by such Buyer, divided by (Y) the arithmetic average of the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in Section 3(s)) on each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Override Exchange Date (the “Applicable Average Share Price”). The failure of the Company to deliver the Override Exchange Shares (or Override Warrants, as applicable) in full on the Override Exchange Date shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes). For purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” of the Overrides shall mean (I) if both Valuation Reports have been delivered on or prior to the Valuation Deadline, the arithmetic average of the valuations of the Overrides set forth in the Valuation Reports, (II) if only one Valuation Report is delivered on or prior to the Valuation Deadline, the valuation set forth in such Valuation Report, and (III) if neither Valuation Report has been delivered by the Valuation Deadline, the valuation set forth in the first Valuation Report delivered after the Valuation Deadline (the date that is two (2) Business Days after the Valuation Deadline, or, if neither Valuation Report has been delivered by the Valuation Deadline, the date that is two (2) Business Days after delivery of the first Valuation Report, being referred to herein as the “Valuation Determination Date”); “Override Exchange Date” shall mean the twenty-first (21st) Trading Day after the Valuation Determination Date; “Override Exchange Shares” means, at each Buyer’s election as set forth in such Buyer’s Override Exchange Election Notice, shares of Common Stock (“Common Override Exchange Shares”), and/or, at any time on or after the Preferred Authorization, shares of convertible preferred stock of the Company having terms as provided in Section 1(d)(iv) (“Preferred Override Exchange Shares”); provided that, if any Buyer fails to deliver an Override Exchange Election Notice as required hereby, it shall be deemed to have elected to receive all of its Override Exchange Shares as Preferred Override Exchange Shares if the Preferred Authorization has occurred, or as Override Warrants if it has not; and “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on its Principal Market; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Principal Market is open for trading for less than 4.5 hours.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 1(d), “Conditions to Override Exchange” means the following conditions: on each day during the period beginning on and including the Override Exchange Election Date and ending on and including the Override Exchange Date, (A) the Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on a national securities exchange and the Common Stock has not been suspended from trading on any such market or exchange nor (I) shall delisting or suspension by any such market or exchange have been threatened in writing by such exchange or (II) shall the Company have fallen below the minimum listing maintenance requirements of such exchange, and the Company otherwise satisfies all of the requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on such exchange, (B) the Company and each of the Subsidiaries is (I) incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and (II) in good standing under the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority, (C) the Company has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), (D) there does not exist any Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), (E) the arithmetic average of the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Override Exchange Election Date is at least $400,000, and (F) the Override Exchange Shares (or Override Warrant Shares, as applicable) have been registered for public resale by the Buyers pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, in accordance with a registration rights agreement in form and substance acceptable to each of the Buyers. In the event that any of the Conditions to Override Exchange shall not be satisfied (and such failure is not waived in writing by all of the Buyers), the Override Exchange Notice shall be void and the Override Exchange contemplated thereby shall not be given any force or effect.

(iv) The parties hereto agree that the Preferred Override Exchange Shares shall be perpetual, shall not bear dividends, shall be convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (i.e., one share of Common Stock for each Preferred Override Exchange Share, subject to a limitation on conversion substantially similar to the limitation on exercise set forth in the Warrants and subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events), shall be senior upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company to the Common Stock and any other class of preferred stock of the Company and shall have such other designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as shall be agreed upon by the Company and Marquis (all of the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Preferred Shares being referred to as the “Preferred Rights”). The Company and Marquis agree to negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Preferred Rights (other than the Preferred Rights already set forth in this Section 1(d)(iv)) prior to the Override Exchange Election Date. The Preferred Rights, when and as agreed upon by the Company and Marquis, shall be promptly fixed by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and set forth in a Certificate of Designations to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware after the Preferred Authorization, in a form acceptable to each of the Company and Marquis (the “Certificate of Designations”).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Buyer will be entitled to receive, and the Company will not issue to any Buyer on any date, any Common Override Exchange Shares in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock that would cause such Buyer and its affiliates to beneficially own 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance. A Buyer’s delivery of an Override Exchange Election Notice shall constitute a representation that, upon issuance to such Buyer of the number of Common Override Exchange Shares requested in such Override Exchange Election Notice, such Buyer and its affiliates will not beneficially own, more than 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such issuance, and in no event shall the Company issue to such Buyer on any Option Exchange Date a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of Common Override Exchange Shares that such Buyer requests in such Buyer’s Override Exchange Election Notice. For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Buyer and its affiliates shall include the number of Common Override Exchange Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement on the applicable Override Exchange Date in accordance with this Section 1(d)(v), but shall exclude all other shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such Buyer and its affiliates pursuant to this Agreement and all other shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Buyer and its affiliates (including the Warrants and any other warrants or convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of this Agreement, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Buyer may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Periodic Report (as defined in Section 4(e)), (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any Buyer, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such request, confirm in writing to any such Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the issuance of Common Override Exchange Shares to such Buyer and its affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, and the conversion, exercise or exchange of securities of the Company by such Buyer and its affiliates, since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

BUYER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Buyer, individually and not jointly and severally, represents and warrants, as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, with respect to only itself, that:

a. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the Notes (along with the related Guarantees) and the Warrants purchased by such Buyer hereunder, (ii) upon any exercise of the Warrants (including any Override Warrants) will acquire the Warrant Shares (including Override Warrant Shares, as applicable) issuable upon such exercise thereof, (iii) in the event of any Override Exchange will acquire Override Exchange Shares or Override Warrants (as applicable), and (iv) upon any conversion of any Preferred Override Exchange Shares, will acquire the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Notes, the Guarantees, the Warrants (including any Override Warrants) and the Warrant Shares (including any Override Warrant Shares), the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under, or exempted from the registration requirements of, the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities acquired by it for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

c. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities. For purposes hereof, “securities laws” means the securities laws, legislation and regulations of, and the instruments, policies, rules, orders, codes, notices and interpretation notes of, the securities regulatory authorities (including the SEC) of the United States and any applicable states and other jurisdictions.

d. Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below or contained in any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 3(b)). Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

During the Security Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain all governmental consents, franchises, certificates, licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits, the lack of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and to remain in compliance with all Laws (including Environmental Laws and Laws relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions and similar items, securities, ERISA or employee health and safety) the failure with which to comply would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person.

n. Inspection and Audits. During the Security Period, (i) the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, permit Buyers, or any Persons designated by a Buyer, to call at such Person’s places of business at any reasonable times and upon prior written notice, and, without unreasonable hindrance or delay, to inspect, examine and audit the Collateral and to inspect, audit, check and make extracts from such Person’s books, records, journals, orders, receipts and any correspondence and other data relating to such Person’s business, the Collateral or any transactions between the parties hereto, and shall have the right to make such verification concerning such Person’s business as such Buyer may consider reasonable under the circumstances; and (ii) each Buyer, through their officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, in such Buyer’s name, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ Accounts (as defined in the Security Agreement), by mail, telephone, telecopy, electronic mail or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon written request to the Company by any Buyer, the Company shall promptly provide such Buyer with any financial, operating or other type of information requested by such Buyer, subject to such Buyer’s execution of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with respect to such information, which execution shall constitute a waiver, with respect to any material non-public information regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries provided to such Buyer directly in response to such written request, of the restriction herein on the Company’s disclosure to such Buyer of material non-public information. The Company shall pay to such Buyer all costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Buyer in the exercise of its rights hereunder, and all of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness under the Note of such Buyer, shall be payable on demand by the Company to such Buyer and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Notes).

o. Insurance. During the Security Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to:

(i) Keep the Collateral properly housed (to the extent possible) and insured for the full insurable value thereof against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, collision (in the case of motor vehicles) and such other risks with companies that regularly insure Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of such Person, such coverage and the premiums payable in respect thereof to be acceptable in scope and amount to the Collateral Agent. Original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance have been or shall be, no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, delivered to Buyers, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to Collateral Agent. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to the Collateral Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give the Collateral Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary or any other Person shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. In addition, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent an assignment of proceeds of its business interruption insurance policies (if any).

(ii) Maintain, at its expense, such public liability and third party property damage insurance with companies that regularly insure Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of such Person, such coverage and the premiums payable in respect thereof to be acceptable in scope and amount to the Collateral Agent. Original (or certified) copies of such policies have been or shall be, no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, delivered to Buyers, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing the Collateral Agent as an additional insured thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give Collateral Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy shall be altered or canceled.

(iii) If the Company or any of the Subsidiaries at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium relating thereto, any Buyer, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by the Company hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as such Buyer deems advisable. Such insurance, if obtained by a Buyer, may, but need not, protect the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ interests or pay any claim made by or against the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance the Company and the Subsidiaries may be able to obtain on their own and may be cancelled only upon the Company and the Subsidiaries’ providing evidence that they have obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by Buyers in connection with any such actions, including court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Indebtedness under the Notes of the applicable Buyers, shall be payable on demand by the Company to such Buyers and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Notes).

q. Taxes. During the Security Period, the Company shall and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to file all required tax returns and pay all of its taxes when due, subject to any extensions granted by the applicable taxing authority, including taxes imposed by federal, state or municipal agencies, and shall cause any Liens for taxes to be promptly released; provided, that Person shall have the right to contest the payment of such taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as (i) the amount so contested is shown on such Person’s financial statements; (ii) the contesting of any such payment does not give rise to a Lien for taxes; (iii) such Person keeps on deposit with the Collateral Agent (such deposit to be held without interest) an amount of money which, in the sole judgment of the Collateral Agent, is sufficient to pay such taxes and any interest or penalties that may accrue thereon; and (iv) if such Person fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence, the Collateral Agent may apply the money so deposited in payment of such taxes. If the Company or a Subsidiary fails to pay any such taxes (other than taxes not yet due, subject to an extension or subject to a contest) and in the absence of any such contest by such Person, a Buyer may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to secure the release of any Lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by Buyers shall constitute Indebtedness under the Notes of the applicable Buyers, shall be payable by the Company to such Buyers on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Notes).

r. Intellectual Property. During the Reporting Period, the Company shall and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to maintain adequate licenses, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks and trademarks to continue its business as presently proposed to be conducted by it (including as described to Buyers prior to the date hereof) or as hereafter conducted by it, unless the failure to maintain any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Upon written request to the Company by a Buyer, the Company shall promptly provide such Buyer with a copy of such drilling title opinion, subject to such Buyer’s execution of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with respect thereto; provided, however, that any such request shall constitute a waiver, with respect to any material non-public information regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries contained in such drilling title opinion, of the restriction herein on the Company’s disclosure to such Buyer of material non-public information.

u. Security Covenants. During the Security Period, Company shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, at its own respective cost and expense, cause to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as may from time to time be necessary or as such Buyer or the Collateral Agent may from time to time request in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all such actions to establish, create, preserve, protect and perfect a first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of such Buyer on the Collateral (as each term is defined in the Security Agreement, and including Collateral acquired after the date hereof), including on any and all assets of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

Subject to the exceptions described below, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing and (ii) sixty (60) days after the first date following the Closing on which no Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries not to (x) contract with any party for any debt or equity financing (including any debt financing with an equity component), (y) issue any debt or equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into or for debt or equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary (including debt securities with an equity component) or (z) engage in “farm-out” financing transactions or similar transactions which do not have operating obligations by the financing party as a material component, in any form (a “Future Offering”), unless, after such Person has received an offer regarding a Future Offering that it has a bona fide intention to accept, such Person shall have first delivered to each Buyer (or designees appointed by respective Buyers) written notice (the “Future Offering Notice”) reporting that it has received and is prepared to accept such offer and providing such Buyer an option (the “Buyer Purchase Option”) to purchase up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities, rights or interests to be issued or sold in such Future Offering, multiplied by such Buyer’s Allocation Percentage (the limitations referred to in this sentence are collectively referred to as the “Capital Raising Limitations”). No Future Offering Notice shall contain any material non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. Upon the written request of any Buyer made within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of a Future Offering Notice (an “Additional Information Request”), the Company shall provide each Buyer with such additional information regarding the proposed Future Offering, including the name of the purchaser, and the terms and conditions and use of proceeds thereof, as such Buyer shall reasonably request. Each Buyer may exercise its Buyer Purchase Option by delivering written notice (the “Buyer Purchase Notice Date”) to the Company within five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) the Buyer’s receipt of a Future Offering Notice or (ii) the Buyer’s receipt of all of the information reasonably requested by the Buyer in an Additional Information Request, which notice shall state the quantity or percentage of securities, rights or interests being offered in the Future Offering that the Buyer will purchase. The Company or the Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have sixty (60) days following the Buyer Purchase Notice Date to sell the securities, rights or interests of the Future Offering (other than the securities, rights or interests to be purchased by Buyers pursuant to this Section 5(t)), upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Future Offering Notice. The exercise of a Buyer Purchase Option shall be contingent upon, and contemporaneous with, the consummation of such Future Offering; provided, that notwithstanding a Buyer’s exercise of the Buyer Purchase Option with respect to a particular Future Offering, the determination to complete any such Future Offering shall be within the Company’s sole discretion. In connection with such consummation, each Buyer (if it exercises its Buyer Purchase Option) shall deliver to the Company duly and properly executed originals of any documents reasonably required by the Company to effectuate such Future Offering, together with payment of the purchase price for the securities, rights or interests being purchased by such Buyer in such Future Offering, and the Company or the Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall promptly issue to such Buyer the securities, rights or interests purchased thereby. In the event the Company or the Subsidiary, as appropriate, has not sold such securities, rights or interests of the Future Offering within such 60-day period, then the Company and the Subsidiaries shall not thereafter issue or sell such securities, rights or interests or any other securities, rights or interests subject to this Section 5(t) without first offering such securities, rights or interests to such Buyer in the manner provided in this Section 5(t). Such Buyer shall not be required to participate or exercise its right of participation with respect to a particular Future Offering in order to exercise its right of participation with respect to later Future Offerings. The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to (i) any transaction involving the Company’s issuances of securities, rights or interests (A) as consideration in a merger or consolidation (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash), (B) in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash), or (C) as consideration for the acquisition of a business, product, license or other assets by the Company (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash) or (ii) Exempted Issuances (as defined in the Warrants).

u. Limits on Additional Issuances. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, in any manner, until at least 180 days after the Closing Date, issue or sell any Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options (the “Equity Limitation”) or file any registration statement. The Equity Limitation shall not apply to (i) any transaction involving the Company’s issuances of securities (A) as consideration in a merger or consolidation (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash), (B) in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash), or (C) as consideration for the acquisition of a business, product, license or other assets by the Company (the primary purpose or material result of which is not to raise or obtain equity capital or cash), or (ii) Exempted Issuances (as defined in the Warrants).

v. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries, nor any Affiliates of the foregoing or any Person acting on the behalf of any of the foregoing, shall, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to purchase any security, under any circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules or requirements of any regulatory or self-regulatory authority.

w. Regulation M. Neither the Company, nor any of the Subsidiaries nor any Affiliates of the foregoing will take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities contemplated hereby.

x. Fundamental Changes; Line of Business. During the Reporting Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, (i) except as contemplated by Section 4(z), amend its organizational documents or change its fiscal year unless (A) such actions could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (B) such actions would not adversely affect any Buyer or any Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and (C) each Buyer has received at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such amendment or change; or (ii) engage in any business other than the business currently conducted by the Company and the Subsidiaries, as disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the business currently conducted by North Texas.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving any Indemnified Liabilities, such Indemnitee shall, if any claim for Indemnified Liabilities in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 8, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee, as the case may be. In any such proceeding, any Indemnitee may retain its own counsel, but, except as provided in the following sentence, the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the expense of that Indemnitee, as the case may be, unless (i) the Company and the Indemnitee, as applicable, shall have mutually agreed to the retention of that counsel, (ii) the Company does not assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Company, the representation by such counsel for the Indemnitee and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay reasonable fees for only one separate legal counsel (plus any local counsel) for the Investors, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Investors holding at least 2/3 in interest of the outstanding Notes (or, if no Notes are outstanding, of the outstanding Warrants). The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8, except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(c) The indemnification required by this Section 8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

(d) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.

or at such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by written notice to the other party at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

g. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal of the Notes then outstanding, including by merger or consolidation. Buyers may assign some or all of their rights hereunder without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release a Buyer from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee (as evidenced in writing) and the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, Buyers shall be entitled to pledge the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities.

h. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, each Indemnitee, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

i. Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9(k), the representations and warranties of the Company and Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9, and the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in Section 8, shall survive the Closing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 19 of the Notes shall survive the redemption, repayment or surrender of such Notes.

j. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

k. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the third Business Day following the date of this Agreement due to the Company’s or the Buyers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party (i.e., the Company in the case of a breach by a Buyer, and any Buyer in the case of a breach by the Company) shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(k), the Company shall be obligated to pay each Buyer (so long as such Buyer is not a breaching party) its transaction fees and reimbursement amounts as set forth in Section 4(i) as if such Buyer had purchased the Notes (and in the case of Marquis, the Warrants and the Overrides).

l. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

m. Remedies. Buyers and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies that Buyers and holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights that Buyers and holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without any requirement to post a bond or other security or prove actual damages, which requirements each of the parties waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.

n. Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever a Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any of the Subsidiaries does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

o. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries makes a payment or payments to a Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty or any other Transaction Document or a Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, by a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

p. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”), and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its nominee(s), for Warrant Shares (including any Override Warrant Shares) upon exercise of the Warrants (including any Override Warrants) or Conversion Shares upon conversion of any Preferred Override Exchange Shares (as applicable), in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company. On or before November 14, 2008, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a fully executed copy of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (including execution by the Company’s transfer agent). The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 9(p) and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If any Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer and, in the case of the Warrant Shares (including any Override Warrant Shares) and the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 9(p) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 9(p), that each Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunctive order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

q. Interpretative Matters. Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (c) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and (d) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation. All references herein and in each of the other Transaction Documents to “dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful money of the United States of America.

r. Independent Nature of the Buyers. The obligations of each Buyer hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer hereunder. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The decision of each Buyer to acquire the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or by any agent or employee of any other Buyer, and no Buyer or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Buyer (or any other Person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, the Bridge Notes and the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Buyers and the Company have caused this Securities Purchase Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first written above.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of North Texas Drilling Services, Inc., (a Texas Corporation) as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of North Texas Drilling Services, Inc.

A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

Nature and Organization of Business

The Company is a Texas Corporation doing business as North Texas Drilling Services, Inc. organized on May 24, 2007. The Company is engaged in the business of drilling oil ▇▇▇▇▇.

The Company contracts its labor from an employee leasing company. The fees paid to the leasing company are classified as payroll expenses which include all labor related costs such as worker’s compensation insurance, payroll taxes and salaries.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting from information supplied by the Company.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows:

Building Improvements		15 years
Furniture and Equipment		5 - 10 years

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash on hand, cash in demand deposit accounts and instruments with 90 days or less maturity to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Bad Debts

The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable based on a review of existing receivables. Based on these factors, there is no allowance for bad debts at September 30, 2008.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a Texas Corporation)

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Amortization

Debt issuance costs are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the loan, which is 3 years. Amortization expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $16,667.

Advertising

Advertising costs are generally charged to expense in the year incurred. Advertising expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $165.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to the use of different depreciation methods, the use of different treatments for debt issuance costs, an NOL carryforward and the differing treatment of the Company’s start-up and organizational costs.

Note B - Property. Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2008 consist of the following:

Building Improvements	$	21,165
Furniture and Equipment		4,332,773
Transportation Equipment		869,784
		5,223,722

Less: Accumulated Depreciation		(456,591	)

Total Property, Plant and Equipment	$	4,767,131

The note is secured with cash, accounts receivable, and property, plant and equipment. The note matures on April 1, 2010.	$	8,350,000

Note payable to First National Bank of Weatherford, payable in one installment of unpaid principal and interest, at 8.75% on January 11, 2009. The note is secured with transportation equipment.		150,000

Total Long-term Notes Payable		8,500,000

NORTH TEXAS DRILLING SERVICES, INC.

(a Texas Corporation)

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

Note D - Income Taxes

The provision for federal income tax for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 consists of the following:

Federal Deferred Tax Benefit		$	272,613
Total Benefit for Income Taxes		$	272,613

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income before income taxes because the Company is subject to state margin taxes, deferred income taxes are based on average rates, and officers’ life insurance premiums and a portion of meals and entertainment are not tax deductible.

The Company’s total deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2008 are as follows:

Total Deferred Tax Asset - Noncurrent	$	1,664,366
Total Deferred Tax (Liability) - Noncurrent		(156,951	)
Net Deferred Tax Asset (Liability)	$	1,507,415

At September 30, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $4,541,305 which may be used to offset future taxable income. This loss carryforward will expire in 2027 and 2028. A deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforward.

No valuation allowance was established for deferred tax assets at September 30, 2008, since the Company’s management believes that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefit of deductible temporary differences based on the level of historical taxable income and projected future taxable income.

2009	$	63,750
2010		32,000
	$	95,750

Note G - Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. Accounts at each financial institution in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. The Company was adequately secured at September 30, 2008.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, 49% of the Company’s drilling revenue was received from one customer.

Note H - Related Party Transactions

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

Note J - Subsequent Events

On October 3, 2008, the Company entered into an amended note agreement with the Longview Marquis Master Fund, LP (a British Virgin Island Limited Partnership). Under the amended agreement, the principal of the note increased to $8,575,000. The maturity date of the amended note is April 1, 2010.

Note K - Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $539,465 during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5,149,331. Those factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces regarding its loan agreements (as discussed in Note C), create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company is developing a plan to reduce its liabilities through an increase in drilling revenue. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on acceptance of the plan by the Company’s creditors and the plan’s success. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
