OF
LEGEND OIL AND GAS, LTD.
Warrant No.
DATE EFFECTIVE:
THIS WARRANT is issued by Legend Oil and Gas, Ltd., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”) to Iconic Investment Co., a corporation (in either case, the “Holder”) as compensation for consulting services.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Holder is entitled to purchase from the Company, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to three hundred thousand (300,000) shares, at a price of Fifty U.S. Cents ($0.50) per share. This Warrant is referred to herein as the “Warrant” and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms hereof are sometimes referred to herein as “Warrant Shares.”
1. Holder Exercise of Warrant. To exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office, (a) a written notice, in substantially the form of the exercise notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, (b) a check in the amount of the purchase price for such shares, which shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased multiplied by Fifty U.S. Cents ($1.00) per share, and (c) this Warrant. The Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within twenty (20) days after delivery to the Company of (i) the Exercise Notice, (ii) the check mentioned above or a stated election to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis, and (iii) this Warrant, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such notice, a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in such notice. If the Holder elects to purchase, at any time, less than the number of shares of Common Stock than purchasable under the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant exercisable for the number of remaining shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant. Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear the legend or legends required by applicable securities laws as well as such other legend(s) the Company requires to be included on certificates for its Common Stock. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of such stock certificates except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Holder, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes that are payable upon the issuance of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Holder at the time of delivering the Exercise Notice. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. This Warrant will expire on January 21, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”), and may be exercised on multiple occasions in amounts not less than ten percent (10%) of the original amount issued before the Expiration Date.
2. Transfer of Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Holder may sell, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, only if such sale, pledge, hypothecation, or transfer is made in compliance with the act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the act relating to the disposition of securities, and is made in accordance with applicable state securities laws.
3. Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, or destruction of this Warrant, and of indemnification satisfactory to it, or upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor.
4. Rights of the Holder. No provision of this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote, consent, receive dividends or receive notice other than as expressly provided herein. Prior to exercise, no provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the holder for the purchase price of any warrant shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
5. Adjustment of Warrants.
a. Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Distributions and Subdivisions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the original issue date shall declare or pay any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased to an amount which is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the stock dividend, distribution or subdivision, as the case may be, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to such stock dividend, distribution or subdivision, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to such stock dividend, distribution or subdivision. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be divided or increased because of a stock dividend or distribution, by stock split or otherwise, into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend, distribution or division shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such division, dividend or distribution be proportionately decreased.
b. Adjustments for Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be decreased to an amount which is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to combination or consolidation, as the case may be, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to such combination or consolidation, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to such combination or consolidation. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification, reverse stock split or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
c. Adjustment for Mergers or Reorganization, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation, this Warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of this Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonable may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
d. NO IMPAIRMENT. THE COMPANY WILL NOT, 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 HEREUNDER BY THE COMPANY, BUT WILL AT ALL TIMES IN GOOD FAITH ASSIST IN THE CARRYING OUT OF ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10 AND IN THE TAKING OF ALL SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE EXERCISE RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT AGAINST IMPAIRMENT.
e. Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such exercise.
f. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all appropriate corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
g. Fractional Shares. This Warrant may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock, and no fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
6. Certain Distributions. In case the Company shall, at any time after the date on which the Holder converts the debt owed to it under the Note into Debt Conversion Shares and prior to the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1 hereof, declare any distribution of its assets to holders of its Common Stock as a partial liquidation, distribution or by way of return of capital, other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends, then the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part prior to the effecting of such declaration, to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable on such exercise, the amount of such assets (or at the option of the Company a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of such distribution to holders of Common Stock as such value is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith), which would have been payable to the Holder had it been a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to such distribution.
7. Dissolution or Liquidation. In case the Company shall, at any time after the date on which the Holder converts the debt owed to it under the Note into Debt Conversion Shares and prior to the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1 hereof, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall be entitled, upon the proper exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part and prior to any distribution associated with such dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, to receive on such exercise, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder would have been entitled, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, with respect to such shares of Common Stock had the Holder been a holder of record of such share of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of those holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such dissolution, liquidation, or winding up distribution.
8. Reclassification or Reorganization. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of Common Stock by way of dividend or other distribution or of a subdivision or combination), the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of Stock and other securities and PROPERTY RECEIVABLE UPON SUCH RECLASSIFICATION, CAPITAL REORGANIZATION OR OTHER CHANGE, BY A HOLDER OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO SUCH RECLASSIFICATION OR CHANGE. ANY SUCH PROVISION SHALL INCLUDE PROVISION FOR ADJUSTMENTS WHICH SHALL BE AS NEARLY EQUIVALENT AS MAY BE PRACTICABLE TO THE ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS WARRANT. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 8 SHALL SIMILARLY APPLY TO SUCCESSIVE RECLASSIFICATIONS, CAPITAL REORGANIZATIONS AND CHANGES OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. IN THE EVENT THAT IN ANY SUCH CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, OR OTHER CHANGE, ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SHALL BE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE, CONVERSION, SUBSTITUTION OR PAYMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR OR OF A SECURITY OF THE COMPANY OTHER THAN COMMON STOCK, ANY AMOUNT OF THE CONSIDERATION RECEIVED UPON THE ISSUE THEREOF BEING DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE HOLDER.
