Investment Agreement

This Investment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on this 2nd day of September 2011 by and between TBX Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (“TBX”) and LoneStar Income and Growth, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“LoneStar”).

WHEREAS, TBX is interested in acquiring additional capital; and

WHEREAS, LoneStar is willing to make a substantial investment in TBX upon certain terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Investment Desired. TBX desires to acquire additional capital in an amount up to five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000) for the purpose of creating sufficient working capital for TBX to primarily fund the acquisition of a majority (51%) membership interest in Frontier Income and Growth, LLC (“Frontier”), a salt water transportation and disposal company.

2. Investment by LoneStar. LoneStar is willing to invest up to five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000) in TBX upon (i) TBX’s execution of a subscription agreement with Frontier whereby TBX will have the contractual right to acquire fifty-one percent (51%) of the membership interests of Frontier and (ii) the issuance of certain preferred stock in an amount and with the attributes described in Section 3 below. A copy of the subscription agreement to be entered into by and between TBX and Frontier is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.

3. Preferred Stock to be Issued by TBX. TBX has authorized the issuance of up to two million seven hundred and fifty thousand shares of its preferred stock which it has designated as the 2011 Series A 8% Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) with the following attributes:

a) TBX will pay an annual dividend of eight percent (8%) on the principal value ($2.00) of each share beginning upon the date of issuance of the preferred stock.

b) Beginning twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, each share of preferred stock is convertible at the request of either the stockholder or TBX into two (2) shares of common stock of TBX and two (2) warrants that will allow the holder to acquire one additional share of TBX common stock for each warrant at the purchase price of $3.50 per share. The warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time within three (3) years from the issue date of the warrant.

4. Purchase of Preferred. It is hereby agreed that LoneStar need not purchase the Shares in all one block at the same time but may purchase the Shares in increments of $200,000 or more. However, it is understood and agreed that TBX will utilize the funds it receives from the Shares for the acquisition of 51% Frontier first and for other corporate purposes secondly.

5. Conflict of Interest. The parties understand that each of the parties is represented by the same law firm, Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC and that such dual representation is a conflict of interest. The parties hereby mutually waive any such conflict of interest and hereby warrant that the terms of this Agreement were negotiated directly by the parties and that Kane Russell Coleman & Logan PC, and specifically one of its attorneys, Craig G. Ongley, has acted solely as a scrivener for this Agreement.
