Section 1 – Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Financing Arrangements

Line of Credit

On March 19, 2014, we entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Black Pearl Energy, LLC ("Black Pearl"), an entity controlled by Stan Weiner and Lee Maddox, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and one of our directors: Grant Seabolt.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Black Pearl issued us a $2,000,000 line of credit, approximately $1,010,000 of which has already been advanced to us; the credit was issued in the form of a promissory note (the "Note").  We must pay back all advanced funds on or before August 1, 2014, although such date will be extended to September 30, 2014 if we do not receive gross proceeds of no less than $6,000,000 resulting from either or both of: (a) the consummation of one or more private placements of debt or equity securities, not including the funds received pursuant to the Credit Agreement; or (b) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for an initial public offering of our securities.  Interest accrues at 11% per annum.  To further induce Black Pearl to issue us the line of credit, we agreed to issue them 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock (after which, Black Pearl will own 1,500,000 (1%) of our common stock) and a $25,000 transaction fee to be paid on the final closing date of the credit line.

Upon an event of default, which includes nonpayment of any funds owed or bankruptcy, Black Pearl may cease making further advances to us until such default is cured; if the default is not cured, all of Black Pearl's obligations under the Agreement and the Note shall cease and terminate, and Black Pearl may: (i) declare the outstanding principal evidenced by the Note immediately due and payable; (ii) exercise any remedy provided for in the Credit Agreement; or (iii) (iv) exercise any other right or remedy available to it pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Note, or as provided at law or in equity.  Interest on the advanced funds shall increase to 18% until the default is cured.

Factoring Agreement
 
On January 13, 2014, we entered into an accounts receivable factoring facility (the “Factoring Facility”) with Crown Financial, LLC ("Crown"), pursuant to an Account Purchase Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”).  The Factoring Agreement is secured through a Security Agreement between the Company, two of our subsidiaries: STW Pipeline Maintenance & Construction, LLC and STW Oilfied Construction, LLC (collectively, the "Subsidiaries") and Crown,  by all of the instruments, accounts, contracts and rights to the payment of money, all general intangibles and all equipment of the Company and the Subsidiaries.  The Factoring Facility includes a loan in the amount of $4,000,000.  Our Chief Operating Officer, Lee Maddox also personally guaranteed our full and prompt performance of all of our obligations, representations, warranties and covenants under the Factoring Agreement, pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement for and in consideration of Crown issuing us the Factoring Facility.
 
The Factoring Facility shall continue until terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice.  Under the terms of the Factoring Agreement, Crown may, at its sole discretion, purchase certain of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. Upon any acquisition of an account receivable, Crown will advance to the Company up to 80% of the face amount of the account receivable (the "Purchase Price"); although Crown maintains the right to propose a change in that rate, which we can accept in writing, orally or by accepting funding based on such changed rate.  Additionally, based upon when each invoice gets paid, Crown shall pay us a rebate percentage of between 0-18% of the related invoice.  Crown will generally have full recourse against us in the event of nonpayment of any such purchased account.  Crown has the discretion to also accept a substitute invoice from us for uncollected invoices; if such substitute invoice is not accepted, we will be obligated to pay Crown the Purchase Price of such uncollected invoice plus interest at the maximum lawful interest rate per annum, minus any payments made on the invoice.

The Factoring Agreement contains covenants that are customary for agreements of this type and appoints Crown as attorney in fact for various activities associated with the purchased accounts receivable, including opening our mail, endorsing its name on related notes and payments, and filing liens against related third parties. The failure to satisfy covenants under the Factoring Agreement or the occurrence of other specified events that constitute an event of default could result in the acceleration of our repayment obligations or Crown enforcing its rights under the Security Agreement and taking possession of the collateral. The Factoring Agreement contains provisions relating to events of default that are customary for agreements of this type.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

To the extent required by Item 3.02 of Form 8-K, the information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

As part of the Company's efforts to free up critical capital necessary to carry out its business plans and increase shareholder value, the Company has been working hard to consolidate its debt and stream line its capitalization.  To that end, the Company has received consent from certain of its outstanding note holders to receive accrued interest in shares of the Company's common stock (the "PIK Shares"), rather than in cash as required by related note agreement.  Upon consent, the PIK Shares are being issued at the rate of $0.08 per share.  As of the date of this Report, we have already issued a total of 386,250 PIK Shares to those note holders who have consented to receiving same; we continue to reach out to any remaining note holders to also receive accrued interest in shares of the Company's common stock.

Additionally, as of the date of this Report, we have paid down approximately $100,000 in other convertible debt; converted approximately $376,000 in debt; and, paid down our accounts payable by almost $100,000.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Company's common stock or any other securities of the company, but merely included to disclose the terms of the transaction mentioned herein.

10.           Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Party would fulfill the Secured Party's duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtor or to impose any duties on the Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

11.           No Waiver by Secured Party, etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy.

All rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Secured Party deems expedient.

12.           Suretyship Waivers by Debtor.

The Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof. The Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

13.           Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

10. This guaranty is for the benefit of Buyer, and for such other persons as may from time to time become or be the beneficiaries of Buyer’s rights under the Agreement, and this guaranty shall be transferable and negotiable, with the same force and effect and to the same extent as Buyer’s rights under the Agreement may be transferable; it being understood that upon the assignment or transfer by Buyer of any of Buyer’s rights under the Agreement, the legal owner of Buyer’s rights under the Agreement shall have all of the rights granted to Buyer under this guaranty.

11. Buyer, its successors and assigns shall not be liable for failure to use diligence in the collection of any matters hereby guaranteed, or in preserving the liability of any person liable thereon, and the Guarantor waives presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceleration, protest and notice thereof, and diligence in bringing suit against any person liable for any Obligations hereby guaranteed.  Payment of all amounts hereunder shall be made at the offices of Buyer in Houston, Harris County, Texas.
