                              GULFWEST OIL COMPANY



GulfWest Oil Company
16800 Dallas Parkway, Suite 250
Dallas, Texas 75248

Gentlemen:

     1. Subscription. The undersigned (the "Investor") subscribes for and agrees
to purchase  shares of Class A Common  Stock  ("Shares")  issued by GulfWest Oil
Company ("GulfWest") in the original principal amount set forth on the signature
page below. The Investor  acknowledges that this subscription (i) is irrevocable
and (ii) is conditioned  upon  acceptance by or on behalf of GulfWest and may be
accepted or rejected in whole or in part by GulfWest in its sole discretion.

     2.  Representations  and  Warranties.  To induce  GulfWest  to accept  this
subscription, the Investor represents and warrants as follows:

               (a)  The  Investor  has  had  adequate   opportunity   to  obtain
          information from and ask questions of the officers or  representatives
          of GulfWest concerning the business of GulfWest. The Investor has such
          knowledge and  experience  in financial and business  matters as to be
          capable of  evaluating  the merits and risks of an  investment  in the
          Shares,  is able to bear the risks of an  investment in the Shares and
          understands  the risks of, and other  considerations  relating  to, an
          investment in the Shares.

               (b) The Investor is an "accredited  investor"  within the meaning
          of Rule  501(a)  promulgated  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
          amended (the "Securities Act").

               (c) The Shares to be acquired hereunder are being acquired by the
          Investor for the Investor's  own account for investment  purposes only
          and not with a view to resale or distribution.

               (d) The  Investor  understands  that  the  Shares  have  not been
          registered  under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state
          or  the  securities  laws  of any  other  jurisdiction,  nor  is  such
          registration contemplated. The Investor understands and agrees further
          that  the  Shares  must  be  held  indefinitely   unless  subsequently
          registered under the Securities Act and these state securities laws or
          an exemption  from  registration  under the  Securities  Act and these
          state  securities  laws  covering the sale of the Shares is available.
          The Investor understands that legends stating that the Shares have not
          been  registered  under the Securities Act and these state  securities
          laws  and  setting  out  or  referring  to  the  restrictions  on  the
          transferability and resale of the Shares will be placed on the Shares.
          The Investor's  overall  commitment to GulfWest and other  investments
          which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the



                                        1
<PAGE>

                       
          Investor's  net  worth  and the  Investor  has no need  for  immediate
          liquidity in the Investor's investment in the Shares.

               (e) To the full  satisfaction  of the Investor,  the Investor has
          been  furnished any  materials the Investor has requested  relating to
          GulfWest  or the  offering of the Shares,  and the  Investor  has been
          afforded  the  opportunity  to ask  questions  of  representatives  of
          GulfWest  concerning  the terms and  conditions of the offering and to
          obtain any additional  information the Investor deems  necessary.  The
          Investor  has  carefully  read and  thoroughly  inspected  the Private
          Offering  Memorandum  dated March 25, 1998  related to the offering of
          the Shares (the "Memorandum").

               (f) The  Investor  is not  relying  upon any  other  information,
          representation  or warranty by GulfWest,  or any of its  affiliates or
          their  respective  agents in  determining  to invest in GulfWest.  The
          Investor  has  consulted  to  the  extent  deemed  appropriate  by the
          Investor with the Investor's  own advisers as to the  financial,  tax,
          legal and related  matters  concerning an investment in the Shares and
          on that basis  believes  that an  investment in the Shares is suitable
          and appropriate for the Investor.

               (g) This  Subscription  Agreement  has been duly  executed by the
          Investor and constitutes a valid and legally binding  agreement of the
          Investor.

     3. Tax  Information.  The  Investor  will  complete  and  return  with this
Subscription Agreement IRS Form W-9, Payer's Request for Taxpayer Identification
Number and  Certification.  The Investor is not a non-resident alien individual,
foreign corporation,  foreign  partnership,  foreign trust or foreign estate (as
defined in the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986) and the  Investor  will  notify
GulfWest  within 60 days of a change to foreign  status.  The Investor agrees to
properly   execute  and  provide  to  GulfWest  in  a  timely   manner  any  tax
documentation that may be reasonably required by GulfWest.

     4. Further Advice and Assurances.  All  information  which the Investor has
provided  to GulfWest is correct  and  complete as of the date  hereof,  and the
Investor agrees to notify GulfWest immediately if any representation or warranty
contained in this Subscription  Agreement becomes untrue prior to the Investor's
investment in the Shares.  The Investor  agrees to provide such  information and
execute and deliver such documents as GulfWest may reasonably  request to verify
the  accuracy of the  Investor's  representations  and  warranties  herein or to
comply with any law or regulation to which GulfWest may be subject.

     5.  Payment  of  Subscription.  The  Investor  shall pay the  amount of the
Investor's  subscription  hereunder by delivery of a check to  GulfWest.  If the
Investor's  subscription  is rejected in whole or in part,  the amount  rejected
shall be promptly returned by check without interest to the Investor.

     6. Registration  Rights. In the event that, at any time after the date that
is one  year  following  the  consummation  of  the  offering  described  in the
Memorandum  (the  "Offering")  and before the date that is three years following
the consummation of the Offering,  GulfWest files a registration  statement on a
form promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC") pursuant
to  which  the  resale  of the  Shares  may  be  registered  (such  registration
statement, a "Qualifying Registration Statement"), GulfWest will, at Investor's



                                        2
<PAGE>


option, cause the resale of the Shares to be registered under the Securities Act
(either  on a current or  continuous  or delayed  basis)  under such  Qualifying
Registration Statement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring
GulfWest to file a Qualifying  Registration  Statement  at any time.  GulfWest's
obligations  as set forth in this paragraph in any event shall be subject to and
limited by (i) applicable law and (ii) if the Qualifying  Registration Statement
relates to an underwritten offering, the reasonable requirements, conditions and
limitations  (including  but not  limited to any  limitation  upon the number of
Shares that may be sold pursuant to the  Qualifying  Registration  Statement) as
may be required or imposed by the  underwriters of such  underwritten  offering.
GulfWest  shall only be  required to effect two  registrations  pursuant to this
paragraph.  In any event,  GulfWest's  obligations  as set forth in this section
shall  extinguish on the date that is three years following the  consummation of
the Offering.

     In the event that, at any time after the date that is six months  following
the  consummation  of the  Offering  and  prior  to the  date  that is one  year
following the  consummation  of the Offering (the  "Registration  Period"),  the
holders of  two-thirds  of the Shares  demand  (one time only) that the  Company
register  the  resale  of their  Shares  under  the  Securities  Act (a  "Demand
Registration"),  the Company shall promptly  register the resale of their Shares
under the  Securities  Act  (subject  to the right of the  Company to defer such
registration  for a  reasonable  time  in the  event  that,  in the  good  faith
determination of the Board of Directors of the Company,  such registration would
have a material adverse effect upon the Company).  If the Company  registers the
resale of the Shares through a registration  statement allowing the offering the
Shares to be registered on a delayed or continuous  basis, the Company shall use
its  reasonable  efforts to  maintain  the  effectiveness  of such  registration
statement  for a period of one year.  In the event that the  Company  receives a
request to effect a Demand  Registration during the Registration Period from the
holders of one-third of the Shares, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts
to  apprise  all of the  holders  of the  Shares  of such  request  so that  the
remaining holders may join in such request for a Demand Registration.

     7.  Miscellaneous.  This  Subscription  Agreement is not  assignable by the
Investor  without the  written  consent of  GulfWest.  The  representations  and
warranties made by the Investor in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the
closing of the transactions  contemplated  hereby and any investigation  made by
GulfWest.  This  Agreement may be executed in one or more  counterparts,  all of
which together shall  constitute  one  instrument,  and shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
