</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B><I>Agreement and Plan of Merger</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">On March&nbsp;30, 2009, Double Eagle Petroleum Co., a Maryland corporation (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;Double
Eagle&#148;), DBLE Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), and Petrosearch Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (&#147;Petrosearch&#148;),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Agreement&#148;), whereby Merger Sub will merge with
and into Petrosearch and Petrosearch shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Double Eagle (the
&#147;Merger&#148;). The Agreement and the Merger were unanimously approved by the Special Acquisition
Committee of Double Eagle&#146;s Board of Directors and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors,
other than Richard Dole, who recused himself from voting.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Petrosearch&#146;s common stock
(&#147;Petrosearch Common Stock&#148;) and each outstanding share of Petrosearch&#146;s preferred stock, on an
as-converted basis (&#147;Petrosearch Preferred Stock&#148;, collectively with Petrosearch Common Stock, the
&#147;Petrosearch Capital Stock&#148;), will be converted automatically into the right to receive that number
of shares of common stock of Double Eagle (&#147;Double Eagle Common Stock&#148;) equal to the &#147;Exchange
Ratio&#148;.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The &#147;Exchange Ratio&#148; shall equal the quotient of: (A)&nbsp;the &#147;Aggregate Stock Consideration&#148;, which
shall equal 1,792,741 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock, unless adjusted as described below;
divided by (B)&nbsp;the sum of (I)&nbsp;the issued and outstanding shares of Petrosearch Common Stock as of
March&nbsp;30, 2009 (41,340,584 shares), (II)&nbsp;the issued and outstanding shares of Petrosearch Preferred
Stock, on an as converted basis (52,067 shares); and (C)&nbsp;the number of shares of Petrosearch Common
Stock issuable as of the closing date upon exercise of any outstanding Petrosearch warrants that
exceeds 750,000 shares of Petrosearch Common Stock (27,380 as of the date of the Agreement).
&#147;Aggregate Stock Consideration&#148; means 1,792,741 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock; provided,
however, if the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price (defined below) is greater than $6.25, then the
Aggregate Stock Consideration shall be adjusted to equal $11,000,000 divided by the Double Eagle
Closing Stock Price (the &#147;Aggregate Stock Consideration as
Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price&#148;).
The Aggregate Stock Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price may not be less
than 1,100,000 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock. The &#147;Double Eagle Closing Stock Price&#148; shall
equal the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Double Eagle Common Stock over the 20 trading
days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing of the Merger.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">If at the effective time the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price is below $4.75 per share, an
aggregate cash payment, in addition to the Aggregate Stock Consideration, will be made to the
holders of Petrosearch Capital Stock receiving Double Eagle Common Stock equal to (A) $4.75 minus
the greater of (I)&nbsp;the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price or (II)
$4.00, multiplied by (B)&nbsp;the
Aggregate Stock Consideration (the &#147;Aggregate Cash Consideration&#148;). If Double Eagle is required to
pay any Aggregate Cash Consideration, then each holder of Petrosearch Capital Stock shall be
entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration equal to (X)&nbsp;the number of shares
of Double Eagle Common Stock that the holder of Petrosearch Capital Stock is entitled to receive,
multiplied by (Y) $4.75 less the greater of (I)&nbsp;the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price or (II) $4.00.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In the event that there is any shortfall in the working capital of Petrosearch below $8,750,000 as
of a date five business days prior to the effective time (the &#147;Final Working Capital Shortfall&#148;),
an adjustment equal to such Final Working Capital Shortfall shall be made to the aggregate
consideration as follows: (A)&nbsp;first as an offset to any Aggregate Cash Consideration; or (B)&nbsp;if
there is no Aggregate Cash Consideration or the Final Working Capital Shortfall is greater than the
Aggregate Cash Consideration, then the Aggregate Stock Consideration, or, if applicable, the
Aggregate Stock Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price, shall be adjusted to equal
(I) $11,000,000 less the Final Working Capital Shortfall, divided by (II) $11,000,000, and
multiplied by (III)&nbsp;the Aggregate Stock Consideration, or if applicable, the Aggregate Stock
Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price (the &#147;Aggregate Stock Consideration as
Adjusted for Working Capital Shortfall&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In addition, at the effective time, all outstanding Petrosearch warrants shall be assumed by Double
Eagle (each such warrant, an &#147;Assumed Warrant&#148; and collectively the &#147;Assumed Warrants&#148;). Each
Assumed Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such
Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the effective time, except that (i)&nbsp;each Assumed Warrant will
be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole
shares of Double Eagle Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Petrosearch
Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the
effective time
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Double
Eagle Common Stock and (ii)&nbsp;the per share exercise price for the shares of Double Eagle Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by
dividing the exercise price per share of Petrosearch Common Stock at which such Assumed Warrant was
exercisable immediately prior to the effective time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the
nearest whole cent.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">For example purposes only, assuming that (i)&nbsp;there is no adjustment to the Aggregate Stock
Consideration, that the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price is greater than $4.75 but less than $6.25,
(ii)&nbsp;there are no shares of Petrosearch Common Stock issuable as of the closing date upon exercise
of any outstanding Petrosearch warrants above 750,000 shares, and (iii)&nbsp;there is no Final Working
Capital Shortfall, then the Exchange Ratio would be equal to approximately 0.0433.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Following
the Merger, Double Eagle will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market, and
Richard Dole will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Double Eagle. The Board of Directors of Double Eagle will consist of five directors, four
existing directors of Double Eagle and one future director to be designated by Petrosearch.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Double Eagle, Merger Sub and Petrosearch have made representations, warranties and covenants in the
Agreement, including, among others, the covenant of Petrosearch to conduct its businesses in the
ordinary course between the execution of the Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.
Petrosearch also has agreed to additional covenants, including, among others, covenants, subject to
certain exceptions, (1)&nbsp;not to solicit proposals regarding alternative business combination
transactions, (2)&nbsp;not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in
connection with, alternative business combination transactions, (3)&nbsp;not to approve or recommend any
alternative business combination transaction proposals, (4)&nbsp;to cause a common stockholder meeting
to be held to consider approval of the Merger and (5)&nbsp;for its Board of Directors to recommend
approval of the Agreement by Petrosearch&#146;s common and preferred stockholders.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, adoption of the Agreement by
Petrosearch&#146;s common and preferred stockholders and the accuracy of representations and warranties
(subject to materiality exceptions) as of the date of the Agreement and the closing date of the
Merger, and the performance by the parties in all material respects of their covenants under the
Agreement.

including a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally relevant to
investors, and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties
exchanged in connection with the execution of the Agreement. In addition, the representations and
warranties may have been included in the Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between
Double Eagle and Petrosearch, rather than to establish matters as facts. Moreover, information

the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public

the parties thereto with respect to the Merger, not to provide any other factual information
regarding Double Eagle, Petrosearch or their respective businesses or the actual conduct of their
respective businesses during the pendency of the Agreement. You should not rely on the
representations and warranties in the Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts
about Double Eagle, Merger Sub, Petrosearch or any other person. Furthermore, you should not rely
on the covenants in the Agreement as actual limitations on the business of Petrosearch, because
Petrosearch may take certain actions that are either expressly permitted in the Agreement or as
otherwise consented to by Double Eagle, which consent may be given without notice to the public.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On March 30, 2009, Double Eagle Petroleum Co., a Maryland corporation (the "Company" or "Double
Eagle"), DBLE Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company ("Merger Sub"), and Petrosearch Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Petrosearch"),
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), whereby Merger Sub will merge with
and into Petrosearch and Petrosearch shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Double Eagle (the
"Merger"). The Agreement and the Merger were unanimously approved by the Special Acquisition
Committee of Double Eagle's Board of Directors and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors,
other than Richard Dole, who recused himself from voting.
At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Petrosearch's common stock
("Petrosearch Common Stock") and each outstanding share of Petrosearch's preferred stock, on an
as-converted basis ("Petrosearch Preferred Stock", collectively with Petrosearch Common Stock, the
"Petrosearch Capital Stock"), will be converted automatically into the right to receive that number
of shares of common stock of Double Eagle ("Double Eagle Common Stock") equal to the "Exchange
Ratio".
The "Exchange Ratio" shall equal the quotient of: (A) the "Aggregate Stock Consideration", which
shall equal 1,792,741 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock, unless adjusted as described below;
divided by (B) the sum of (I) the issued and outstanding shares of Petrosearch Common Stock as of
March 30, 2009 (41,340,584 shares), (II) the issued and outstanding shares of Petrosearch Preferred
Stock, on an as converted basis (52,067 shares); and (C) the number of shares of Petrosearch Common
Stock issuable as of the closing date upon exercise of any outstanding Petrosearch warrants that
exceeds 750,000 shares of Petrosearch Common Stock (27,380 as of the date of the Agreement).
"Aggregate Stock Consideration" means 1,792,741 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock; provided,
however, if the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price (defined below) is greater than $6.25, then the
Aggregate Stock Consideration shall be adjusted to equal $11,000,000 divided by the Double Eagle
Closing Stock Price (the "Aggregate Stock Consideration as
Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price").
The Aggregate Stock Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price may not be less
than 1,100,000 shares of Double Eagle Common Stock. The "Double Eagle Closing Stock Price" shall
equal the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Double Eagle Common Stock over the 20 trading
days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing of the Merger.
If at the effective time the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price is below $4.75 per share, an
aggregate cash payment, in addition to the Aggregate Stock Consideration, will be made to the
holders of Petrosearch Capital Stock receiving Double Eagle Common Stock equal to (A) $4.75 minus
the greater of (I) the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price or (II)
$4.00, multiplied by (B) the
Aggregate Stock Consideration (the "Aggregate Cash Consideration"). If Double Eagle is required to
pay any Aggregate Cash Consideration, then each holder of Petrosearch Capital Stock shall be
entitled to receive a portion of the Aggregate Cash Consideration equal to (X) the number of shares
of Double Eagle Common Stock that the holder of Petrosearch Capital Stock is entitled to receive,
multiplied by (Y) $4.75 less the greater of (I) the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price or (II) $4.00.
In the event that there is any shortfall in the working capital of Petrosearch below $8,750,000 as
of a date five business days prior to the effective time (the "Final Working Capital Shortfall"),
an adjustment equal to such Final Working Capital Shortfall shall be made to the aggregate
consideration as follows: (A) first as an offset to any Aggregate Cash Consideration; or (B) if
there is no Aggregate Cash Consideration or the Final Working Capital Shortfall is greater than the
Aggregate Cash Consideration, then the Aggregate Stock Consideration, or, if applicable, the
Aggregate Stock Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price, shall be adjusted to equal
(I) $11,000,000 less the Final Working Capital Shortfall, divided by (II) $11,000,000, and
multiplied by (III) the Aggregate Stock Consideration, or if applicable, the Aggregate Stock
Consideration as Adjusted for Double Eagle Closing Stock Price (the "Aggregate Stock Consideration as
Adjusted for Working Capital Shortfall").
In addition, at the effective time, all outstanding Petrosearch warrants shall be assumed by Double
Eagle (each such warrant, an "Assumed Warrant" and collectively the "Assumed Warrants"). Each
Assumed Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such
Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the effective time, except that (i) each Assumed Warrant will
be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole
shares of Double Eagle Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Petrosearch
Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the
effective time
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Double
Eagle Common Stock and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Double Eagle Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by
dividing the exercise price per share of Petrosearch Common Stock at which such Assumed Warrant was
exercisable immediately prior to the effective time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the
nearest whole cent.
For example purposes only, assuming that (i) there is no adjustment to the Aggregate Stock
Consideration, that the Double Eagle Closing Stock Price is greater than $4.75 but less than $6.25,
(ii) there are no shares of Petrosearch Common Stock issuable as of the closing date upon exercise
of any outstanding Petrosearch warrants above 750,000 shares, and (iii) there is no Final Working
Capital Shortfall, then the Exchange Ratio would be equal to approximately 0.0433.
Following
the Merger, Double Eagle will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market, and
Richard Dole will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Double Eagle. The Board of Directors of Double Eagle will consist of five directors, four
existing directors of Double Eagle and one future director to be designated by Petrosearch.
Double Eagle, Merger Sub and Petrosearch have made representations, warranties and covenants in the
Agreement, including, among others, the covenant of Petrosearch to conduct its businesses in the
ordinary course between the execution of the Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.
Petrosearch also has agreed to additional covenants, including, among others, covenants, subject to
certain exceptions, (1) not to solicit proposals regarding alternative business combination
transactions, (2) not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in
connection with, alternative business combination transactions, (3) not to approve or recommend any
alternative business combination transaction proposals, (4) to cause a common stockholder meeting
to be held to consider approval of the Merger and (5) for its Board of Directors to recommend
approval of the Agreement by Petrosearch's common and preferred stockholders.
Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, adoption of the Agreement by
Petrosearch's common and preferred stockholders and the accuracy of representations and warranties
(subject to materiality exceptions) as of the date of the Agreement and the closing date of the
Merger, and the performance by the parties in all material respects of their covenants under the
Agreement.
The Agreement contains various termination rights for both parties, including:
(a) by mutual agreement of the parties;
(b) by any party if: (i) the effective time has not occurred before 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time)
on August 31, 2009 (except in certain limited circumstances); (ii) there is a final nonappealable
order of any governmental entity in effect preventing consummation of the Merger; or (iii) there
shall be any law or order enacted or deemed applicable to the Merger that would make consummation
of the Merger illegal;
(c) by Double Eagle and Merger Sub, if there shall be any action taken, or any law or order
enacted or deemed applicable to the Merger, by any governmental entity or regulatory authority,
that would: (i) prohibit Double Eagle's or the Merger Sub's ownership or operation of all or any
portion of the business of Petrosearch, or (ii) compel Double Eagle or Merger Sub to dispose of or
hold separate all or a portion of the assets and properties of Petrosearch as a result of the
Merger;
(d) by Double Eagle, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement by Petrosearch and Petrosearch has not cured such breach within five (5)
business days after notice of such breach is delivered to Petrosearch; provided, however, that, no
cure period shall be required for a breach that by its nature cannot be cured;
(e) by Petrosearch if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement by Double Eagle or Merger Sub and Double Eagle has not cured such breach
within five (5) business days after notice of such breach is delivered to Double Eagle; provided,
however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach that by its nature cannot be cured;
(f) by Double Eagle or Petrosearch, if the Petrosearch stockholders do not approve the Merger
by the requisite votes;
(g) by Petrosearch, if Petrosearch has received a Superior Proposal (as defined in the
Agreement) and paid a $300,000 termination fee to Double Eagle; or
(h) by Petrosearch, if the Double Eagle Stock Price is less than $3.00 per share.
Upon termination of the Agreement under paragraph (d) or (g) above, Petrosearch will be required to
pay Double Eagle a termination fee of $300,000.
Investors are cautioned that the representations, warranties and covenants included in the
Agreement were made by Petrosearch, on the one hand, and Double Eagle and Merger Sub, on the other
hand, to each other. These representations, warranties and covenants were made as of specific dates
and only for purposes of the Agreement and are subject to important exceptions and limitations,
including a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally relevant to
investors, and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties
exchanged in connection with the execution of the Agreement. In addition, the representations and
warranties may have been included in the Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between
Double Eagle and Petrosearch, rather than to establish matters as facts. Moreover, information
concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of
the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public
disclosures of Double Eagle or Petrosearch.
The Agreement is described in this Current Report on Form 8-K and attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto
only to provide you with information regarding certain material terms and conditions and, except
for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relationship among
the parties thereto with respect to the Merger, not to provide any other factual information
regarding Double Eagle, Petrosearch or their respective businesses or the actual conduct of their
respective businesses during the pendency of the Agreement. You should not rely on the
representations and warranties in the Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts
about Double Eagle, Merger Sub, Petrosearch or any other person. Furthermore, you should not rely
on the covenants in the Agreement as actual limitations on the business of Petrosearch, because
Petrosearch may take certain actions that are either expressly permitted in the Agreement or as
otherwise consented to by Double Eagle, which consent may be given without notice to the public.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated
into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference. The Agreement provides further information
regarding the terms of the Merger.
Voting Agreement
In connection with the Agreement, Double Eagle entered into a voting agreement dated as of March
30, 2009 (the "Voting Agreement"), with each of the directors and executive officers of
Petrosearch. The Voting Agreement provides that each affiliate will vote his shares in favor of the
approval and adoption of the Agreement and not dispose or pledge, except for limited circumstances,
their Petrosearch Capital Stock. The Voting Agreement terminates if the Agreement is terminated or
upon mutual consent of Double Eagle and the affiliate. The foregoing description of the Voting
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form
of Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 and is incorporated into this Current Report on
Form 8-K by reference.
