    SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT

     

    THIS AGREEMENT, effective as
of the date of the last signature affixed below (“Effective Date”), is made by
and between Cobra Oil & Gas Corporation, a Texas corporation having a
principal place of business at 2201 Kell Blvd., Wichita Falls, Texas 76308
(“Cobra Corporation”), and Cobra Oil & Gas Company, a Nevada corporation
having a principal place of business at 2100 West Loop South, Suite 900,
Houston, Texas 77027 (“Cobra Company”).  The foregoing parties are
referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties.”

    


    WHEREAS, Cobra Corporation has
alleged that Cobra Company’s use of “Cobra,” “Cobra Oil & Gas,” and/or
“Cobra Oil & Gas Company” violates Cobra Corporation’s rights in and to the
names and marks “Cobra,” “Cobra Oil & Gas,” and/or “Cobra Oil & Gas
Corporation” (all of the foregoing collectively the “Cobra Marks”), and Cobra
Corporation has filed suit against Cobra Company in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, Case No.
4:09-cv-02601, styled Cobra
Oil & Gas Corporation v. Cobra Oil & Gas Company
(“Lawsuit”).  The foregoing is collectively referred to as the
“Dispute”; and

    


    WHEREAS, the Parties have
agreed that it is in their respective best interests to resolve the Dispute and
thereby save the time, money, and resources which would have been expended on
the Dispute.

     

    NOW THEREFORE, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

     

    1.           CESSATION
OF USE

     

    
      	
            	
              1.1.

            	
              Within
      sixty (60) days of the Effective Date (“Initial Period”), Cobra Company,
      its employees, officers, affiliates, and related companies shall cease all
      use of: (a) the terms COBRA, COBRA OIL & GAS, and/or COBRA OIL &
      GAS COMPANY, alone or in combination with other terms, logos, marks,
      and/or designs; and (b) colorable imitations of such terms, which include
      but are not limited to the Cobra Marks.  Items (a) and (b) are
      collectively referred to as the “Prohibited Marks”.  Cobra
      Company shall voluntarily surrender and or cancel all registrations and
      pending applications for the Prohibited Marks before any and all
      jurisdictions, including domain name registrations, and shall not file or
      re-file for any registrations or applications in the
      future.  The foregoing cessation of use of the Prohibited Marks
      shall include but not be limited to use in advertising and investor
      documentation, in Information Statements or other documents filed with the
      SEC, signage, vehicles, or web pages, as part of a domain name, a business
      or company name, or an email address, in metadata, and as ad words
      or  keywords.

            


    

     

    Should
Cobra Company be unable to change to a new name, and thus cease use of the
Prohibited Marks, within the Initial Period due to a delay caused by a material
request from the SEC or from NASDAQ,  Cobra Company shall have
additional time beyond the Initial Period as reasonably necessary to cease use
of the Prohibited Marks, so long as it exercises good faith efforts to satisfy
the material request (“Grace Period”).  Cobra Company agrees to notify
Cobra Corporation of its need and a reasonable estimate of time for the Grace
Period, along with details of its good faith efforts.

              1.2.

            	
              Within
      five (5) days of the end of the Initial Period or the Grace Period in
      Section 1.1 whichever is later, Cobra Company shall destroy all items and
      information, including but not limited to investor solicitations, business
      cards, advertisements, and signage that contains any of the Prohibited
      Marks, provided however, Cobra Company may retain in the ordinary course
      of business its internal business records that may display the Prohibited
      Marks.

      1.2, Cobra Company shall certify to Cobra Corporation that it has fully
      complied with the terms and conditions of Sections 1.1 and
      1.2.  Such certification shall be delivered to Cobra Corporation
      at the address set forth herein, be in writing, and be under the penalties
      of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and 28 U.S.C. §

agrees to execute all papers necessary to effect this result.  In any
suit, action, or proceeding asserting a claim or cause of action arising out of,

irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
