October 5, 1997
HARKEN ENERGY CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Internationale
Nederlanden (U.S.) Capital Corporation, its successors and permitted assigns
(the "Holder"), whose address is 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000-0000, upon due exercise of this Warrant, is entitled to purchase from
Harken Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at any time
on or after October 5, 1995, and before 3:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas local time, on
October 5, 1997 (the "Expiration Date"), all or any part of 500,000 shares (the
"Shares") of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, at an exercise price of $2.00 per
share (the "Exercise Price"), both the Exercise Price and number of shares
being subject to possible adjustment as provided below.
This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions and
conditions:
1. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Subject to subsection 1(b) below, the Holder may
exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time, but only in such
multiples as are required to permit the issuance by the Company of one or more
full shares of Common Stock of the Company, by surrender of this Warrant with
the Form of Exercise Agreement attached hereto duly executed, to the Company at
2
or prior to 3:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas local time on the Expiration Date,
together with the payment of the Exercise Price for each of the Shares into
which the Warrant is exercised. Payment for the Shares to be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant may be made by the delivery of a certified or
cashier's check payable to the Company for the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Shares to be purchased. In case of the exercise of this Warrant in part only
prior to the Expiration Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Holder evidencing the right to
purchase the number of shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised.
(b) The Warrant may not be exercised by the Holder
unless, at the time of exercise, (1) there is either (i) a registration
statement or prospectus covering the Common Stock of the Company, that is
effective under (A) the Act, and (B) the securities laws of the state of the
address of record of such Holder, or (ii) an exemption available from
registration for the Warrant exercise and issuance of Common Stock of the
Company in the opinion of satisfactory counsel provided by the Holder to the
Company, and (2) such exercise and issuance would otherwise be in compliance
with applicable law in the opinion of such counsel provided to the Company.
The Warrant may not be, directly or indirectly, transferred to, or exercised
by, any person in any state where such transfer or exercise would violate any
law, including securities law, of such state in the opinion of counsel to the
Company. Legends as required by applicable federal and state laws may be
placed on the certificates representing the Shares. The Holder and the
Company agree to execute such documents and instruments as counsel for the
Company reasonably deems necessary to effect compliance of the issuance of this
Warrant and any Shares issued upon exercise hereof with applicable federal and
state securities laws.
2. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby
covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Shares will, upon issuance,
be validly issued, fully paid, and non- assessable and free from all taxes,
liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the period within which this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by
amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any
of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant
and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the
holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder
of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor
and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(i)
2
3
the Company will not increase the par value of the shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, (ii) before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing
the Exercise Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock so
receivable, the Company will take all such corporate action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(d) Listing. If the issuance of any Shares required to be
reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant requires listing on any
national securities exchange, before such Shares may be issued upon exercise
of this Warrant, the Company will, at its expense, use its best efforts to
cause such Shares to be duly approved, or listed on the relevant national
securities exchange, as the case may be, at such time, so that such Shares may
be issued in accordance with the terms hereof.
3. Stock Dividends Reclassifications, Reorganization,
Anti-Dilution Provisions, Etc.
This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:
(a) In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by
exercise or by its terms, the Company issues any shares of its Common Stock as
a stock dividend or divides the number of shares of Common Stock, then, in
either of such cases, the Exercise Price per share of the Shares purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant in effect at the time of such action will be
proportionately reduced and the number of Shares at that time purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased; and conversely,
in the event the Company shall combine such shares of its Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, then, and in such event, the Exercise Price per share
of the Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant in effect at the time of
such action shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares at that
time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
(b) In case, prior to the expiration of this Warrant by
exercise or by its terms, the Company is recapitalized by reclassifying its
outstanding Common Stock into stock with a different par value or by changing
its outstanding Common Stock with par value to stock without par value, or the
Company or a successor corporation consolidates or merges with or conveys all
or substantially all of its or of any successor corporation's property and
assets to any other corporation or corporations (any such corporation being
included within the meaning of the term "successor corporation" in the event of
any consolidation or merger of any such corporation with, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the property of any such corporation to, another
corporation or corporations), the Holder of this Warrant may thereafter
purchase, upon the terms and conditions and during the time specified in this
Warrant, in lieu of the Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities
receivable upon such recapitalization or consolidation, merger, or conveyance
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder of this
Warrant might have purchased, immediately prior to such recapitalization or
consolidation, merger, or conveyance.

(c) Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an
adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or of the number of Shares purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant in accordance with, and as required by, the terms of
subdivision (a) of this Section 3, the Company shall forthwith employ a firm of
certified public accountants (who may be the regular accountants for the
Company) who shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number
of Shares purchasable at such adjusted Exercise Price by reason of such event
in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (a) and shall prepare a
certificate setting forth such adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number
of Shares and showing in detail the facts upon which such conclusions are
based, including a statement of the consideration received or to be received by
the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold and of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding. The Company shall mail forthwith to
the Holder of this Warrant a copy of such certificate, and thereafter said
certificate shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon such Holder unless
contested by such Holder by written notice to the Company within ten (10) days
after receipt of the certificate by such Holder.
(d) In case:
(i) of any classification, reclassification, or
other reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation, or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(ii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall mail to the Holder of this
Warrant a brief statement of the event giving rise to such effect and a
description thereof.
(e) In case the Company at any time while this Warrant
remains unexpired and unexercised, sells all or substantially all of its
property or dissolves, liquidates, or winds up its affairs, the Holder of this
Warrant may thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in lieu of each Share a
distribution of a kind and amount of any securities and/or assets as may be
issuable, distributable, or payable upon any such sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up with respect to each share of Common Stock of the
Company.
4. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant
shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights
whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in
the absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof to purchase the Shares,
and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder
hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price
or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.

5. Loss, Theft, Destruction, or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the
Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion) of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation
of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft, or destruction) of an
indemnity from the Holder satisfactory to the Company (in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion), and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder, in
lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal
office located at 0000 Xxxxx XxxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx
00000 (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice to the Holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company
shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has
been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee as may be
permitted under the terms of this Warrant and each prior owner of this Warrant.
7. Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. Anything in
this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of the surrender
of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or exchange of this
Warrant, this Warrant shall not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company
may require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, or exchange, that (i)

acceptable to the Company. The Holder of this Warrant, by taking and holding
the same, hereby represents to the Company that such Holder is an "accredited
