correct in all material respects, except to the extent any representation and

warranty speaks as of any other specific date, in which case such

representation and warranty will have been true and correct in all material

respects as of such date; provided, however, each Seller shall only be liable

for such representations and warranties to the extent of such Seller's

obligations hereunder with respect to, any agreement, indemnity, representation

or warranty made by any Seller that does not relate to such entity or to any of

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the

jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to own,

lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as

presently conducted and as planned to be conducted by such Seller. As

applicable, each Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business and, where

applicable as a legal concept, is in good standing as a foreign entity in each

jurisdiction in which the character of the properties it owns, operates or

leases or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensure

necessary.

4.2 Power and Authority. Each Seller has the requisite power and

authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement and each other

agreement, instrument, or document executed or to be executed by such Seller in

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to which it is a party and

to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution,

delivery, and performance by Sellers of this Agreement and each other

agreement, instrument, or document executed or to be executed by Sellers in

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to which they are a party,

and the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated hereby and

thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action of such Sellers.

4.3 Valid and Binding Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed

and delivered by each Seller and constitutes, and each other agreement,

instrument, or document executed or to be executed by Sellers in connection

with the transactions contemplated hereby to which they are a party has been,

or when executed will be, duly executed and delivered by Sellers and

constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and

legally binding obligation of Sellers, enforceable against them in accordance

with their respective terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by

(a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar

Laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b) equitable principles which

may limit the availability of certain equitable remedies (such as specific

performance) in certain instances.

4.4 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution, delivery, and performance

by Sellers of this Agreement and each other agreement, instrument, or document

executed or to be executed by Sellers in connection with the transactions

contemplated hereby to which they are a party nor the consummation by them of

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do and will (a) conflict with

or result in a violation of any provision of the charter, bylaws or other

governing instruments of any Seller, (b) conflict with or result in a violation

of any provision of, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or the

passage of time or both) a default under, or give rise (with or without the

giving of notice or the passage of time or both) to any right of termination,

cancellation, or acceleration under, any bond, debenture, note, mortgage or

indenture, or any material lease, contract, agreement, or other instrument or

obligation to which any Seller is a party or by which any Seller or any of

their properties may be bound, (c) result in the creation or imposition of any

lien or other encumbrance upon the properties of any Seller, or (d) violate any

applicable Law, rule or regulation binding upon any Seller or the Properties.

 

<PAGE>

4.5 Approvals. No consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or

declaration, filing, or registration with, any court or governmental agency or

of any third party is required to be obtained or made by any Seller in

connection with the execution, delivery, or performance by Sellers of this

Agreement, each other agreement, instrument, or document executed or to be

executed by Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to

which they are a party or the consummation by them of the transactions

contemplated hereby and thereby.

4.6 Pending Litigation. There are no pending suits, actions, or other

proceedings in which any Seller is a party that would prevent or otherwise

adversely affect the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation

of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the performance of obligations

contemplated hereby.

4.7 Compliance with Laws, Judgments and Governmental Authorizations. As

it relates to the Properties, none of the Sellers have received at any time in

the last five years any written communication from any governmental authority

regarding any actual, alleged or potential violation of, or failure to comply

with, any Law, judgment or governmental authorization, or any actual, alleged

or potential obligation on the part of the Sellers to undertake, or to bear all

or any portion of the cost of, any remedial action of any nature.

4.8 Solvency. None of the Sellers are insolvent, and none will be

rendered insolvent by any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

As used in this section, "insolvent" means that the sum of the debts and other

probable liabilities of any Seller exceeds the present fair saleable value of

such Seller's assets. The cash available to each Seller, after taking into

account all other anticipated uses of the cash, will be sufficient to pay all

its liabilities and judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

4.9 Special Limited Warranty of Title. Each Seller does hereby bind

itself, and its successors and assigns, to warrant and forever defend title to

the Properties unto Buyer, and its successors and assigns, against every claim

to, and every person claiming an interest in, the Oil and Gas Properties and to

any other Properties or any part thereof by, through and under such Seller, but

not otherwise. Pursuant to this special limited warranty of title, each Seller

represents that the working interest and net revenue interest for each of the

Oil and Gas Properties conveyed hereunder shall be the same as the working

interest and net revenue interest attributable to such Seller as set forth in

Exhibit I hereto.

4.10 Shares Restricted. Each Seller understands, acknowledges and agrees

that that the shares of Parent Common Stock delivered by Parent pursuant to

Article III are "restricted securities" under applicable federal securities

laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance

that Sellers may dispose of the Restricted Stock only pursuant to an effective

registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Each

Seller acknowledges that Parent does not intend to file a registration

statement with the SEC. The certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will

bear a legend which clearly sets forth this restriction. Each Seller

understands that it may not at any time demand the purchase by Parent of any of

such Seller's shares of Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock shall bear the

following or similar legend:

 

<PAGE>

"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SHARES MAY

NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF

AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR ANY

APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY

SATISFACTORY TO SOUTH TEXAS OIL COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT

REQUIRED."

The foregoing legend will also be placed on any certificate representing

securities issued subsequent to the original issuance of the Restricted Stock

as a result of any transfer of such shares or any stock dividend, stock split,

or other recapitalization as long as the Restricted Stock have not been

transferred in such manner to justify the removal of the legend therefrom:

"THE HOLDER OF THIS SHARE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PART OF THE

CONSIDERATION PAID TO SUCH HOLDER AS PART OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID PURSUANT

TO THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER

25, 2007 (THE "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") SHALL CONSIST OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND,

ACCORDINGLY: (1) THAT SELLER WILL NOT SELL, ASSIGN, PLEDGE, GIVE, TRANSFER OR

OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THE SHARES OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, OR MAKE ANY OFFER OR

ATTEMPT TO DO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION OF THE

SHARES UNDER THE ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR IN A TRANSACTION

WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE

SECURITIES LAWS; AND (2) THAT SOUTH TEXAS OIL COMPANY AND ANY TRANSFER AGENT

FOR THE SHARES SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER

OF ANY OF THE SHARES EXCEPT UPON COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS AND

NOT BEFORE A PERIOD OF EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS FROM THE CLOSING DATE (AS DEFINED

IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT)."

4.11 Bastrop II Leases. Each Seller hereby declares that it has no right,

title or interest in or to the oil and gas leasehold interests and other oil

and gas interests of any kind, whether legal, contractual, or equitable, actual

or contingent, in and to the Properties listed on Exhibit IV attached hereto
