                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

         Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between
Chancellor Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Chancellor"), and SOUTHWIN
FINANCIAL, LTD., (the "Shareholder"), being the owner of record of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Getty Petroleum, Inc., a Texas corporation
(the "Company").

         WHEREAS, Chancellor wishes to acquire and the Shareholder wishes to
transfer all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company in exchange
for 4,500,000 shares of common stock of Chancellor in a transaction intended
to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Chancellor and the Shareholder adopt this plan of
reorganization and agree as follows:

                          SECTION 1. EXCHANGE OF STOCK

         1.01 NUMBER OF SHARES. The Shareholder agrees to transfer to
Chancellor at the Closing all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company ("Company Shares"), in exchange for an aggregate of 4,500,000
shares (the "Chancellor Shares") of common stock of Chancellor, $.001 par
value per share. The Chancellor Shares will be issued at the Closing to the

<PAGE>

Shareholder and the designee of the Shareholder ("Designee").

         1.02 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES BY SHAREHOLDER. The transfer of the
Company Shares by the Shareholder shall be effected by the delivery to
Chancellor at the Closing of certificates representing the Company Shares
endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank, with all
signatures guaranteed by a national bank or broker-dealer.

         1.03 FURTHER ASSISTANCE. At the Closing and from time to time
thereafter, the Shareholder shall execute such additional instruments and
take such other action as Chancellor may request in order more effectively to
sell, transfer and assign the transferred Company Shares to Chancellor and to
confirm Chancellor's title thereto.

         1.04 CHANGES IN CHANCELLOR'S CAPITALIZATION. If between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Chancellor common
stock are, without the receipt of new consideration by Chancellor, increased,
decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares
or securities of Chancellor through reorganization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar change in Chancellor's
capitalization, Chancellor will issue and deliver to the Shareholder in
addition to or in lieu of the Chancellor Shares specified in Section 1.01,
voting stock of Chancellor in equitably adjusted amounts. In the

                                        2
<PAGE>

event of any change in Chancellor's capitalization, all references to
Chancellor Shares herein shall refer to the number of Chancellor Shares as
thus adjusted.

                               SECTION 2. CLOSING

         2.01 The closing contemplated by Section 1.1 (the "Closing") shall
be held at the offices of David L. Kagel, 1801 Century Park East, Suite 2500,
Los Angeles, California 90067, on October 25, 2000 or as soon as practical
thereafter unless another place or time is agreed upon in writing by the
parties.

          SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDER

         The Shareholder hereby warrants, represents and agrees as follows:

         3.01 CORPORATE STATUS. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas
and is licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in
which the nature of its business or the character or ownership of its
properties makes such licensing or qualification necessary.

         3.02 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $2.00 par value of which 1,000
shares are issued and outstanding. All such

                                        3
<PAGE>

shares are fully paid and non-assessable.

         3.03 FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The financial statements of the Company to
be furnished to Chancellor, consisting of a balance sheet and a related
statement of income (the "Financial Statements") as set forth on Exhibit A,
which will be delivered at the Closing, will be correct and fairly present
the financial condition of the Company as of the dates and for the periods
involved, and such Financial Statements will be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

         3.04 UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. The Company had no liabilities of any
nature except to the extent reflected or reserved against in the Financial
Statements, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, including,
without limitation, tax liabilities and interest due or to become due, and
the Company's accounts receivable are collectible in accordance with the
terms of such accounts, except to the extent of the reserve therefor in the
Financial Statements.

         3.05 INTERIM CHANGES. Between January 1, 2000 and the date of this
Agreement, there have not been, except as set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto and made a part hereof (1) any changes in the Company's financial
condition, assets, liabilities, or business which, in the aggregate, have
been materially adverse; (2) any damage, destruction or loss of or to the
Company's

                                        4
<PAGE>

property, whether or not covered by insurance; (3) any declaration or payment
of any dividends or other distribution in respect of the Company's capital
stock, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition or
any such stock; or (4) any increase paid or agreed to in the compensation,
retirement benefits or other commitments to employees.

         3.06 TITLE TO PROPERTY. The Company has good and marketable title to
all properties and assets, real and personal, reflected in the Financial
Statements or as set forth on Exhibit B, except as since sold or otherwise
disposed of in the ordinary course of business, and the Company's properties
and assets are subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance, except
for liens shown therein, with respect to which no default exists. The sole
asset of the Company is described in and set forth on Exhibit B, attached
hereto.

         3.07 LITIGATION. There is no litigation or proceeding pending, or to
Shareholder' knowledge threatened, against or relating to the Company, its
properties or business.

         3.08 ACCESS TO RECORDS, ETC. From the date of this Agreement to the
Closing, the Shareholder will cause the Company (1) to give to Chancellor and
its representatives full access during normal business hours to all of its
offices, books, records, contracts, and other corporate documents and
properties so that Chancellor may inspect and audit them; and (2) to furnish

                                        5
<PAGE>

such information concerning the Company's properties and affairs as
Chancellor may reasonably request.

         3.09 CONFIDENTIALITY. Until the Closing (and permanently if there is
no Closing), the Shareholder and his representatives will keep confidential
any information which they obtain from Chancellor concerning its properties,
assets and business. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
not consummated by December 31, 2000, the Shareholder will return to
Chancellor all written matter with respect to Chancellor obtained by them in
connection with the negotiation or consummation of this Agreement.

         3.10 TITLE TO SHARES. The Shareholder is, the owner, free and clear
of any liens, claims and encumbrances, of all Company Shares, and has full
right to transfer such Shares to Chancellor.

         3.11 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Shareholder or Shareholder's
professional advisor has been granted the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from representatives of Chancellor, its officers, directors,
employees and agents concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering,
Chancellor and its business and prospects, and to obtain any additional
information which Shareholder or Shareholder's professional advisor deems
necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information received.

         3.12 RELIANCE ON OWN ADVISORS. Shareholder has relied

                                        6
<PAGE>

completely on the advice of, or has consulted with, Shareholder's own
personal tax, investment, legal or other advisors and has not relied on
Chancellor or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys,
accountants or any affiliates of any thereof and each other person, if any,
who controls any thereof, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for any tax or legal advice (other than
reliance on information in the Disclosure Documents as defined in Section
3.14 below). The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify Shareholder's
right to rely upon representations and warranties of Chancellor in this
Agreement.

         3.13 CAPABILITY TO EVALUATE. Shareholder has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters so as to enable such Shareholder
to utilize the information made available to it in connection with this
transaction in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective
investment, which are substantial, including without limitation those set
forth in the Disclosure Documents (as defined in Section 3.14 below).

         3.14 DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS. Shareholder, in making Shareholder's
investment decision to accept the Chancellor Shares hereunder, represents
that (a) Shareholder has received and had an opportunity to review and relied
solely on the reports of Chancellor under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"), including Chancellor's registration statement on

                                        7
<PAGE>

Form 10-SB and its reports on Form 10K-SB for the fiscal years ended December
31, 1998 and 1999 and on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June
30, 2000 (the documents described in this Section 3.14 are collectively
referred to as the "Disclosure Documents"), and an independent investigation
made by Shareholder and Shareholder's representatives, if any; and (b)
Shareholder is not relying on any oral representation of Chancellor or any
other person, nor any written representation or assurance from Chancellor
other than those referred to herein or otherwise contained in the Disclosure
Documents or incorporated herein or therein. The foregoing, however, does not
limit or modify Shareholder's right to rely upon representations and
warranties of Chancellor in this Agreement.

         3.15 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE; FEND FOR SELF. Shareholder has
substantial experience in investing in securities and he, she or it has made
investments in securities other than those of Chancellor. Shareholder
acknowledges that Shareholder is able to fend for Shareholder's self in the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, that Shareholder has the ability
to bear the economic risk of Shareholder's investment pursuant to this
Agreement. Shareholder has not been organized for the purpose of investing in
securities of Chancellor, although such investment is consistent with
Shareholder's purposes.

                                        8
<PAGE>
         3.16 EXEMPT OFFERING UNDER REGULATION D.

                  (a) INVESTMENT; NO DISTRIBUTION. Shareholder is acquiring
the Chancellor Shares to be issued and sold hereunder for his, her or its own
account and not as a nominee and not with a present view to the
re-distribution thereof except that 2,925,000 of the Chancellor Shares will
be issued in the name of HORIZON NO. 4 TRUST ("Designee") an affiliate of
Shane X.G. Rodgers, an officer, director and principal shareholder of
Chancellor. Shareholder is aware that there are legal and practical limits on
Shareholder's ability to sell or dispose of the Chancellor Shares and,
therefore, that Shareholder must bear the economic risk of the investment for
an indefinite period of time and has adequate means of providing for
Shareholder's current needs and possible personal contingencies and has need
for only limited liquidity of this investment. Shareholder's commitment to
illiquid investments is reasonable in relation to Shareholder's net worth. By
making the representations in this Section 3.16 the Shareholder does not
agree to hold the Chancellor Shares for any minimum or other specific term
and reserves the right to dispose of the Chancellor Shares at any time in
accordance with or pursuant to any exemption from registration under the Act,
except as otherwise required in this Agreement.

         3.17 NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. The Chancellor Shares were not offered
to Shareholder through, and Shareholder is not aware of, any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, (a) any
advertisement, article,

                                        9
<PAGE>

notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar
media or broadcast over television or radio, and (b) any seminar or meeting
whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising. Shareholder has had a prior business relationship with the
Company.

         3.18 DESIGNEE'S REPRESENTATION. Designee for itself makes the
representation set forth in Sections 3.11 through 3.17, inclusive.

       SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CHANCELLOR

materially adverse; (2) any damage, destruction or loss of or to Chancellor's

stock, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition of
