Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On December 14, 2007, Saratoga Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into (1) First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Harvest Oil PSA Amendment”) with Harvest Oil & Gas, LLC (“Harvest Oil”) and Barry Ray Salsbury, Brian Carl Albrecht and Shell Sibley, the owners of Harvest Oil and (2) First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Harvest Group PSA Amendment”) with The Harvest Group, LLC (“Harvest Group”) and Barry Ray Salsbury, Brian Carl Albrecht, Shell Sibley, Willie Willard Powell and Carolyn Monica Greer, the owners of Harvest Group.


The Harvest Oil PSA Amendment extends the closing date under the original Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to Harvest Oil from December 14, 2007 to January 21, 2008 and extends the date of certain pre-closing performance obligations.  The Harvest Oil PSA Amendment also modifies the purchase price provisions to provide to the Company the option to pay, in cash at closing, the seller-financed portion of the purchase price.  If the Company elects to exercise such option, the seller-financed portion of the purchase price, totaling approximately $28 million, would be discounted by 10% resulting in a reduction in the total purchase price from $116 million to $113.2 million.


The Harvest Group PSA Amendment extends the closing date under the original Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to Harvest Group from December 14, 2007 to January 21, 2008 and extends the date of certain pre-closing performance obligations.  The Harvest Group PSA Amendment also modifies the purchase price provisions to provide to the Company the option to pay, in cash at closing, the seller-financed portion of the purchase price.  If the Company elects to exercise such option, the seller-financed portion of the purchase price, totaling approximately $7 million, would be discounted by 10% resulting in a reduction in the total purchase price from $29 million to $28.3 million.


The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Harvest Oil PSA Amendment and the Harvest Group PSA Amendment filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
