3.2Representations and Warranties of the Investors.  Each Investor hereby, as to itself only and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a)Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Investor of the Securities hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Investor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

13

(b)No Public Sale or Distribution; Investment Intent. Such Investor recognizes that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities in the ordinary course of business for its own account as principal and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and such Investor does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. Such Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(d)Experience of Such Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Investor understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e)Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information (other than material non-public information) about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

(f)Company’s Option to Redeem Warrant. Such Investor understands that, if the Company’s stock price has a closing bid price above $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant, for twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days, the Company may, after providing the Investor thirty (30) day’s written notice, redeem the outstanding Warrants, in whole and not in part. Upon receipt of such a redemption notice, Investor must exercise the Warrant and pay the Exercise Price for the Warrant within the 30-day notice period in order to avoid the cancellation of the Warrants by the Company. A copy of the Warrant Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

14

(g)No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(h)No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)Illegal Transactions. Neither such Investor, directly or indirectly, nor any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, has engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below) involving any of the Company’s securities) since the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company, the Agent or any other Person regarding an investment in the Company. Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor will engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities, including Short Sales, prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. Such Investor further covenants that from and after the date of such disclosure, and for so long as such Investor owns any Securities purchased hereunder, neither it nor any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor willengage in any Short Sales at a time when it has no equivalent offsetting long position in shares of Common Stock and otherwise covenants to conduct all its trading in the Company’s securities in compliance with applicable securities laws. For purposes of determining whether or not such Investor has such an equivalent offsetting long position, shares of Common Stock that such Investor would otherwise be entitled to receive upon conversion or exercise of the Company’s convertible securities (including the Warrant held by such Investor) will be included as if held long by such Investor (regardless of any limitation upon such conversion or exercise). For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated by the SEC under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis) and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(j)No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor under-stands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in con-nection with its purchase of the Securities. Such Investor understands that the Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the Common Shares and the Warrants and that the Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of this transaction or as to the accuracy of any information such Investor may have received in connection therewith. Such Investor acknowledges that it has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of the Agent.

15

(k)Confidentiality.  SuchInvestor will hold in confidence all information concerning this Agreement and the placement of the Common Shares and the Warrants hereunder until the earlier of such time as (a) the Company has made a public announcement concerning the Agreement and the placement of the Common Shares and the Warrants hereunder and (b) this Agreement is terminated.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1Transfer Restrictions.

(a)Each Investor covenants that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws, including, in the case of any transfer of Securities by such Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, that such Investor will deliver a current prospectus (unless such a prospectus is deemed to have been delivered pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) and, in the case of any such transfer pursuant to Rule 144, that such Investor will comply with the requirements of Rule 144. In connection with any transfer of Securities (other than any such transfer (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144(k) or (iii) to the Company), the Company shall require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with the Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the Transfer Agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.

(b)The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing Securities:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.

16

Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) after the Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement that is effective under the Securities Act covering the resale of such Securities, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion providing reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the holder provides the Company with a certificate providing reasonable assurances that the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) or (iv) if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion providing reasonable assurances that such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the confirmation included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate bearing restrictive legend representing such Securities and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(b).

4.2Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns Securities, the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.2. As long as any Investor owns Securities, such Investor covenants and agrees (a) to provide the Company with such information regarding such Investor’s ownership of its Securities and the plan of distribution thereof as shall be reasonably required for the timely preparation and filing of the Registration statement and (b) that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to register any of such Investor’s Securities under the Registration Statement if such information, to the extent not provided at the Closing, is not provided to the Company within 15 days of the Closing Date.

4.3Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

17

4.4Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue such Shares under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations to issue such Shares under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.

4.5Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on the first Trading Day following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release acceptable to the Investors disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. On the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the SEC or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Investors promptly after filing. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor or include the name of any Investor in any press release without the prior written consent of such Investor, unless otherwise required by law. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release without the express written consent of such Investor.

           4.6     Use of Proceeds.The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants and the exercise of the Warrants for the acquisition of additional oil and gas interests (overriding royalties and working interests, as available) in Pakistan and to fund its working capital needs. The acquisitions may be directly from the Pakistan government through existing bidding processes or through private negotiation with current license holders. The proceeds will also be used for general corporate purposes.

6.13Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to such Investor by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company’s related obligation, such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to such Investor, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities and any bond that may be required for such indemnity.

6.15Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.16Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of common stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of common stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

6.17Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary that may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

[Material Changes]

SCHEDULE 3.1(i)

[Litigation]

The Company, together with its subsidiary, The American Energy Operating Corp., were joined as defendants in a new lawsuit initiated on January 12, 2006, in the 281^st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The suit is titled: M.S. Moin Hussain, Saleem Z. Khan and Khan & Piracha vs. The American Energy Group, Ltd., The American Energy Operating Corp., Hycarbex-American Energy, Inc. f/k/a Hycarbex, Inc., Pierce Onthank, Iftikhar Ahmed Zahid and Georg Friedher Von Canal. The other named defendants are Hycarbex-American Energy, Inc., Pierce Onthank and Iftikhar Zahid. The plaintiffs are Moin Hussain, who originally incorporated Hycarbex, Inc. (“Hycarbex”) in 1985, and Saleem Khan and Khan & Piracha, Pakistan-based attorneys. According to the plaintiffs’ pleadings, the plaintiffs allege that in 1995, shortly after the petroleum exploration license covering the Jacobabad Block 2768-4 was awarded to Hycarbex, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hycarbex. The plaintiffs further state in their pleadings that consideration for the sale of the stock included a 1% overriding royalty assigned to Hussain, and that Hussain subsequently assigned two tenths of one percent of same to Saleem Khan. Plaintiffs further assert that in connection with the subsequent acquisition by Hycarbex of the Yasin block in 2001, Khan & Piracha assisted in the acquisition and were promised by Hycarbex, according to Plaintiffs, twenty percent of the Yasin concession. The plaintiffs allege that the several defendants have failed to honor the alleged commitments without identifying the specific party responsible for the alleged obligation. The Company has filed its response to the pleadings and intends to defend the allegations. It is the Company’s position that it has no liability to the named plaintiffs and that the dispute, if any, should lie entirely between the plaintiffs and Hycarbex. The outcome of the lawsuit is not expected to have an adverse effect upon the Company because Hycarbex has provided a written affirmation to the Company that the Company will continue to hold its 18% royalty in the Yasin Block despite the outcome of the lawsuit.
