NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I THE MERGER 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into State Petroleum in accordance with the applicable provisions of the FBCA and the DGCL and in accordance with this Agreement, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. State Petroleum shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"), and shall continue under the laws of Delaware. As a result of the Merger, State Petroleum shall become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 1 1.2. Closing; Effective Time. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the Conditions to Closing contained in Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing"), shall take place at the offices of Blank Rome LLP, 1200 N. Federal Highway, Suite 417, Boca Raton, FL 33432, as soon as practicable (but not later than 5 Business Days) after the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions to Closing contained in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date." As soon as is practicable after the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by (i) delivering to the Florida Department of State, a certificate of merger (the "Florida Certificate of Merger"), in such form as required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the FBCA and (ii) delivering to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger"), in such form as required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective as of the date and at such time (the "Effective Time") as the Delaware Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Merger. 1.3. Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the FBCA and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of State Petroleum and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of State Petroleum and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. 1.4. Certificate of Incorporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of State Petroleum in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become, from and after the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until amended or repealed in accordance with the terms thereof and with Applicable Law. 1.5. Bylaws. The Bylaws of State Petroleum in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become, from and after the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended or repealed in accordance with the terms thereof and with Applicable Law. 1.6. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors and officers of State Petroleum immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become, from and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office from the Effective Time in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualify, or they resign or are removed. 2 ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK 2.1. Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties or the registered holders of any shares of capital stock of State Petroleum (each a "State Petroleum Stockholder" and collectively the "State Petroleum Stockholders"): (a) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of State Petroleum (the "State Petroleum Common Stock") shall be converted into the right to receive that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") and that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series J Convertible Preferred (as defined below), both the Company Common Stock and the Series J Convertible Preferred to be distributed pro rata to the State Petroleum Stockholders, so that the State Petroleum Stockholders shall own shares of the Company Common Stock representing fifty-five percent (55%) of the outstanding ownership of the Company (the "State Petroleum Ownership Percentage") and the registered holders of shares of the Company Common Stock (each a "Company Shareholder", and collectively, the "Company Shareholders") shall own shares representing forty-five percent (45%) of the outstanding ownership of the Company (the "Company Ownership Percentage"), calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date assuming the conversion and exercise of all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company and State Petroleum (the "Derivative Securities") as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), which shall be updated at the Closing; provided that Seventy Five Million (75,000,000) of such shares (the "Escrow Shares") shall be held in escrow by Blank Rome LLP, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Escrow Agreement"). The Escrow Agreement shall remain in effect until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Escrow Period"). The number of shares of Company Common Stock and Series J Convertible Preferred issued to each State Petroleum Stockholder in accordance with this Section 2.1(a) shall hereafter be referred to as the "Merger Shares" and shall be payable to the registered holders of State Petroleum Common Stock upon satisfaction of the exchange procedures set forth in this Article II. At the Effective Time, all such shares of State Petroleum Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each registered holder of shares of State Petroleum Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Shares. (b) During the Escrow Period, the Merger Shares received by the State Petroleum Stockholders shall be subject to quarterly adjustments on a calendar basis (each such quarterly date, an "Adjustment Date") to account for any Derivative Securities that are exercised, expire and/or are cancelled on or prior to each Adjustment Date, such that on each Adjustment Date any exercises, cancellations and/or expirations of Company Derivative Securities shall be accounted for while the State Petroleum Ownership Percentage and the Company Ownership Percentage, each calculated on a fully diluted basis as of such Adjustment Date, shall be maintained; provided further, however that any issuance(s) or cancellations resulting from such adjustments shall be made from 3 the Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement on a pro rata basis to all Company Shareholders who were holders of Company Common Stock as of the Closing Date or State Petroleum Stockholders, as the case may be. (c) No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu of such issuance, each State Petroleum Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock as a result of the conversion and exchange of shares contemplated by this Article II shall receive from the Company one (1) additional share of Company Common Stock. The fractional share interest of State Petroleum Stockholders shall be aggregated such that no State Petroleum Stockholder shall receive more than the one (1) share of Company Common Stock with respect to any interest in fractional shares. 2.2. Exchange of Certificates. (a) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Blank Rome LLP (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the State Petroleum Stockholders certificates in the names of each such State Petroleum Stockholder evidencing the number of Merger Shares to be issued to such State Petroleum Stockholder in accordance with this Article II. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Company will instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of outstanding State Petroleum Common Stock (collectively, the "State Petroleum Certificates") a letter of transmittal containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such of State Petroleum Certificates to the Exchange Agent in exchange for certificates evidencing the relevant number of Merger Shares. Upon due surrender of such State Petroleum Certificates, each such State Petroleum Stockholder will be entitled to receive certificates evidencing the number of Merger Shares to be issued to such State Petroleum Stockholder in accordance with Section 2.1, and the State Petroleum Certificate so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each State Petroleum Certificate evidencing shares of State Petroleum Common Stock shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Shares. No interest shall be paid on the Merger Shares. All Merger Shares issued upon exchange of the State Petroleum Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. (b) It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Merger Shares will bear the legends set forth below: (i) The Securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions. These securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Act and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Investors should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite 4 period of time. The issuer of these securities may require an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the issuer to the effect that any proposed transfer or resale is in compliance with the Act and any applicable state securities laws; (ii) Any additional legend required by Applicable Law. The legend set forth in (i) above shall be removed from any certificate evidencing such Merger Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such security can be freely transferred without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued such Merger Shares. 2.3. Certain Adjustments. If after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the outstanding shares of State Petroleum Common Stock or the Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number, class or series of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization or combination, forward stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or rights issued in respect of such stock, or any similar event shall occur (any such action, an "Adjustment Event"), the number of Merger Shares issued in exchange for each share of State Petroleum Common Stock shall be adjusted correspondingly to provide to the State Petroleum Stockholders the right to receive the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement immediately prior to such Adjustment Event. 2.4. Warrants. At the Effective Time, to the extent not exercised prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of State Petroleum Common Stock (a "State Petroleum Warrant") set forth on Schedule 3.5 of the disclosure schedules shall be automatically converted into a warrant to acquire such number of shares of Company Common Stock (a "Company Warrant") as the holder of such State Petroleum Warrants would have been entitled to receive as Merger Shares had such holder exercised such State Petroleum Warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time at an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock appropriately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price for such Company Warrant shall be the same as it was prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, State Petroleum shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant contained in, and condition of, the State Petroleum Warrants to be performed and observed by State Petroleum and all the obligations and liabilities thereunder. (a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to each holder of a State Petroleum Warrant a notice that contains a calculation in reasonable detail and accurately reflects the number of shares of Company Common Stock that each such holder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of such holder's State Petroleum Warrant and the applicable adjusted exercise price. Together with such notice, or as part of such notice, Company shall deliver a duly executed confirmation that Company has expressly assumed the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant contained in, and condition of, the applicable State Petroleum Warrant to be performed and observed by State Petroleum and all the obligations and liabilities thereunder. 5 (b) The number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants shall be reserved by Company out of authorized but unissued Company Common Stock for issuance upon exercise in full of all Company Warrants after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of the Company Warrants, such Company Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Company Warrants shall no longer be reserved.

Compliance with Laws. State Petroleum is not in violation of, default under, or conflict with, any applicable order, consent, approval, authorization, registration, declaration, filing, judgment, injunction, award, decree or writ of any Governmental Body or court of competent jurisdiction (collectively, "Orders") or any Applicable Law, except for any such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. 3.10.

Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by State Petroleum, the performance by State Petroleum of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by State Petroleum (A) do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of (i) any provision of State Petroleum's charter or bylaws, (ii) any applicable laws, (iii) any material agreement, contract, lease, license or instrument to which State Petroleum is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound and (B) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of State Petroleum pursuant to any provision of any contract or Lien. 3.12. Material Contracts.

State Petroleum has timely filed, or has had timely filed on its behalf, with the appropriate Taxing authorities all Tax Returns in respect of Taxes it is required to file. The Tax Returns filed (including any amendments thereof) are complete and accurate in all material respects. State Petroleum has not requested any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return in respect of any Taxes, which Tax Return has not since been filed in a timely manner. To the Knowledge of State Petroleum, no claim has ever been made by any Taxing authority in a jurisdiction where State Petroleum does not file Tax Returns, or has Tax Returns filed on its behalf, that State Petroleum is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, or liable for Taxes owing to that jurisdiction. (b) Payment of Taxes. All Taxes, including state and federal fuel taxes, owed by State Petroleum (whether or not shown as due on any Tax Returns) have been paid in full or adequate reserves on State Petroleum's books and/or records have been established. State Petroleum has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party. State Petroleum has made all required estimated Tax payments sufficient to avoid any underpayment penalties. The unpaid Taxes of State Petroleum (A) do not, as of the Closing Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect the timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of State Petroleum's most recent balance sheets (rather than any notes thereto) and (B) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of State Petroleum in filing, or having filed on its behalf, its Tax Returns. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of State Petroleum in respect of any liability for Taxes (x) based on or measured by net income for any years not finally determined, (y) with respect to which the applicable statute of limitations has not expired or (z) that has been previously deferred, are adequate to satisfy any assessment for such Taxes for any such years. (c) Audits, Investigations or Claims. There is no dispute or claim which has not been resolved concerning any Tax liability of State Petroleum either (A) claimed or raised by any Taxing authority in writing or (B) as to which any of the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of State Petroleum has Knowledge. There is no currently pending audit of any Tax Return of State Petroleum by any Taxing authority, and State Petroleum has not been notified in writing that any Taxing authority intends to audit any Tax Return of State Petroleum. State Petroleum has not executed any outstanding waivers or consents regarding the application of the statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns. (d) Lien. There are no encumbrances for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable) on any assets of State Petroleum. (e) Tax Elections. State Petroleum (i) has not agreed, or is required, to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise; (ii) have not made an election pursuant to Code Sections 338 or 336(e) or the regulations thereunder or any comparable provisions of any foreign or state or local income tax law; (iii) is not subject to any constructive elections under Code Section 338 or the regulations 9 thereunder; (iv) has not made any payments, are obligated to make any payments, or are a party to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make any payments that will not be deductible under Section 280G and Section 162(m) of the Code; and (v) has not made any of the foregoing elections or are required to apply any of the foregoing rules under any comparable state or local income Tax provision. (f) Prior Affiliated Groups.
