SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
DOCUMENT SPA-02132013
This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 13, 2013, between Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and JMJ Financial (the “Purchaser”) (referred to collectively herein as the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase a Convertible Promissory Note due, subject to the terms therein, three (3) years from its effective date of issuance, issued by the Company to the Purchaser, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”) and a Warrant to purchase 540,540 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five (5) years from the date hereof, issued by the Company to the Purchaser, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Warrant,” and together with the Note, the “Securities”) as set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:
ARTICLE I PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase the Note, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,110,000, and a Warrant to purchase 540,540 shares of Company common stock with an aggregate exercise price of $100,000. The Purchaser shall deliver to the Company, via wire transfer, immediately available funds in the amount of US $100,000 (the “Purchase Price”) and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Note and the Warrant, and the Company and the Purchaser shall deliver any other documents or agreements related to this transaction, including, but not limited to, Representations and Warranties Agreement Document RW-02132013 and Additional Default Provisions Document D-02132013.
1.2 Effective Date. This Agreement will become effective only upon occurrence of the two following events: execution of this Agreement, the Note, and the Warrant by both the Company and the Purchaser, and delivery of the first payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser to the Company.
1.3 Additional Payments. The Note allows the Purchaser to pay up to $900,000 of additional consideration to the Company in such amounts and at such dates as the Purchaser and the Company may mutually agree (each, an “Additional Payment”). Within three (3) days after Purchaser makes any Additional Payment to the Company under the Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an additional warrant in the form of the Warrant issued hereunder with an aggregate exercise amount equal to the dollar amount of the additional payment made by the Purchaser, a per share Exercise Price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the payment by the Purchaser, and the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable equal to the aggregate exercise amount for the additional warrant divided by the Exercise Price per share, and any such Warrant will be immediately exercisable upon the date of issuance of such Warrant. For example, if the price of the Company’s common stock closes at $0.25 on the date the Purchaser makes an Additional Payment of $100,000, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser a Warrant exercisable to purchase 400,000 shares with an Exercise Price per share of $0.25 and an aggregate exercise amount of $100,000.
ARTICLE II MISCELLANEOUS
2.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company. The Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement and agreements related to this transaction. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
2.2 Reservation of Authorized Shares. As of the effective date of this Agreement and for the remaining period during which the Note is outstanding and the Warrant is exercisable for shares of the Company, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued common stock a sufficient number of shares (at least 20,000,000 common shares) to provide for the issuance of common stock upon the full conversion of the Note and the full exercise of the Warrant. The Company represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its issuance of the Note and the Warrant constitutes full authority to its officers, agents and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing shares to execute and issue the necessary shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Note and the exercise of the Warrant. No further approval or authority of the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company will be required for the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company as contemplated by the Agreement or for the issuance of the shares contemplated by the Note or the shares contemplated by the Warrant.

2.3 This Section 2.3 intentionally left blank.
2.4 Rule 144 Tacking Back and Registration Rights. Whenever the Note or Warrant or any other document related to this transaction provides that a conversion amount, make-whole amount, penalty, fee, liquidated damage, or any other amount or shares (a “Tack Back Amount”) tacks back to the original date of the Note, Warrant, or document for purposes of Rule 144 or otherwise, in the event that such Tack Back Amount was registered or carried registration rights, then that Tack Back Amount shall have the same registration status or registration rights as were in effect immediately prior to the event that gave rise to such Tack Back Amount tacking back. For example, if the Purchaser converts a portion of the Note and receives registered shares and the Purchaser later rescinds that conversion, the conversion amount would be returned to the principal balance of the Note and upon any future conversion of the Note the amount converted would be convertible into shares registered on that registration statement.
2.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Florida or in the federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, in the State of Florida. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
2.6 Delivery of Process by Purchaser to Company. In the event of any action or proceeding by the Purchaser against the Company, and only by Purchaser against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by Purchaser via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Company at its last known address or to its last known attorney as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.
2.7 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and either be personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.
2.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of this Agreement may be effected by email.
2.9 Expenses. The Company and the Purchaser shall pay all of their own costs and expenses incurred with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Agreement with respect to legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.
2.10 No Public Announcement. Except as required by securities law, no public announcement may be made regarding this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, or the Purchase Price without written permission by both the Company and the Purchaser.

ARTICLE 1 PAYMENT-RELATED PROVISIONS
1.1 Principal Sum. The Principal Sum is up to $1,110,000 (one million one hundred ten thousand) plus accrued and unpaid interest and any other fees. The Consideration is up to $1,000,000 (one million) payable by wire (there exists a $110,000 original issue discount (the “OID”)). The Lender shall pay $100,000 of Consideration upon closing of this Note as the Purchase Price under the Securities Purchase Agreement Document SPA-02132013 of even date herewith between the Borrower and the Lender.

In the event of any Event of Default, as defined in Document D-02132013 between the Borrower and the Holder, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 1.2. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Mandatory Default Amount means the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either demanded or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either demanded or paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, or (ii) 130% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon.
ARTICLE 2 CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Holder will have the right to convert the Principal Sum (including OID, interest, and other fees) under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock as set forth below.
DOCUMENT A-02132013
2.1 Conversion Rights and Cashless Exercise. The Holder will have the right at its election from and after the Effective Date, and then at any time, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest into shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or any shares of capital stock of Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. into which such stock is hereafter changed or reclassified, the "Common Stock") as per the Conversion Formula set forth in Section 2.2. Any such conversion shall be cashless, and shall not require further payment from Holder. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both the Borrower and the Holder, at no time will the Holder convert any amount of the Note into common stock that would result in the Holder owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., as calculated in accordance with sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’) Shares from any such conversion will be delivered to Holder (in any name directed by Holder) by 2:30pm EST within 3 (three) business days of conversion notice delivery (see 3.1) by “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer.
2.2. Conversion Formula. The number of shares issued through conversion is the conversion amount divided by the conversion price, as illustrated below. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). If no objection is delivered from Borrower to Holder regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within 24 (twenty-four) hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Borrower shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such Notice of Conversion and waive any objection thereto. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, absent a duly delivered objection notice as required above, the Holder shall materially rely on the confirmation and ratification of the conversion price and, notwithstanding subsequent information to the contrary that such computation was made in error, such deemed conversion price shall thereafter be the conversion price for purposes of such conversion.

2.3. DTC Chill, Loss of DWAC. In the event that there is a DTC chill in place preventing the Company’s shareholders from depositing (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares of the Company’s common stock into the DTC System and/or the Company is not able to electronically transfer shares by “DWAC/FAST” transfer, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:
During DTC Deposit and DWAC
Chills
The lesser of $0.25 or 55% (fifty-five percent) of the lowest
trade price in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion.

2.4. This section 2.4 intentionally left blank.
DOCUMENT A-02132013
2.5 Reservation of Shares. As set forth in Section 2.2 of document SPA-02132013, as of the issuance date of this Note and for the remaining period during which the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note constitutes full authority to its officers, agents and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing shares to execute and issue the necessary shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
2.6. Delivery of Conversion Shares. Shares from any such conversion will be delivered to Holder by 2:30pm EST within 3 (three) business days of conversion notice delivery (see 3.1) by “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”). For example, if Holder delivers a conversion notice to Borrower at 5:15 pm eastern time on Monday January 1st, Borrower’s transfer agent must deliver shares to Holder’s broker via “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer by no later than 2:30 pm eastern time on Thursday January 4th. If those shares are not delivered in accordance with this timeframe stated in this Section 2.6, Holder, at any time prior to selling those shares (in whole or in part), may rescind that particular conversion (in whole or in part) and have the conversion amount (in whole or in part) returned to the note balance with the conversion shares (in whole or in part) returned to the Borrower (under Holder and Borrower’s expectation that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the note). The Company will make its best efforts to deliver shares to Holder same day / next day.
2.6.1 Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder (including election to pursue its rights under this Section 2.6 and subsections), at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
2.6.2 Conversion Delay Penalties. Holder may assess, at its election, penalties or liquidated damages (both referred to herein as “penalties”) as follows.
2.6.2. A. For each conversion, Borrower agrees to deliver share issuance instructions to its transfer agent same day or next day. In the event that the share issuance instructions are not delivered to the Borrower’s transfer agent by the next day, a penalty of $2,000 per day will be assessed for each day until share issuance instructions are delivered to the transfer agent ($2,000 per day inclusive of the day of conversion); and such penalty will be added to the principal balance of the Note (under Holder and Borrower’s expectation that any penalty amounts will tack back to the original date of the note).
2.6.2. B. For each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the third business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day will be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty will be added to the principal balance of the Note (under Holder and Borrower’s expectation that any penalty amounts will tack back to the original date of the note). Borrower will not be subjected to any penalties once its transfer agent processes the shares to the DWAC system.
DOCUMENT A-02132013
2.6.3 If failure to deliver Conversion Shares occurs as follows, Holder may elect to enforce one or more of these remedies at its sole election.
2.6.3. A. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Borrower fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the shares on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or if the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other fees, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Shares that the Borrower was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either (x) reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares for which such conversion was not honored (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded), (y) deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Borrower timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder, or (z) pay in cash to the Holder the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Shares that the Borrower was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. The Holder shall provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss.
2.6.3. B. If the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares by DWAC/FAST electronic transfer (such as by delivering a physical stock certificate) and if the Holder incurs a Market Price Loss, then at any time subsequent to incurring the loss the Holder may provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Market Price Loss and the Borrower must make the Holder whole by either of the following options at Holder’s election:
Market Price Loss = [(VWAP on the day of conversion) x (Number of shares receivable from the conversion)] – [(Sales price realized by Holder) x (Number of shares receivable from the conversion)].
Option A – Pay Market Price Loss in Cash. The Borrower must pay the Market Price Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Borrower.
DOCUMENT A-02132013
Option B – Add Market Price Loss to Principal Sum. The Borrower must pay the Market Price Loss by adding the Market Price Loss to the balance of the Principal Sum (under Holder’s and the Borrower’s expectation that any Market Price Loss amounts will tack back to the original date of issue of this Note).
2.6.3. C. If the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares within 2 (two) business days of the Share Delivery Date and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time subsequent to incurring the loss the Holder may provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Borrower must make the Holder whole as follows:
Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of conversion) x (Number of shares receivable from the conversion)].
The Borrower must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Borrower.
2.7. This section 2.7 intentionally left blank.

3.2 Subsequent Equity Sales or Agreements. The Borrower shall provide the Holder, whenever the Holder requests at any time while this Note is outstanding, a schedule of all issuances of Common Stock or any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (a “Common Stock Equivalent”) since the date of issuance of this Note, including the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and other pricing terms.

3.4. Assignability. The Borrower may not assign this Note. This Note will be binding upon the Borrower and its successors, and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder to anyone of its choosing without Borrower’s approval.

This Note does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the conversion hereof as set forth in Section 2.1.

3.14. No Shorting. Holder agrees that so long as any Note from Borrower to Holder remains outstanding, Holder will not enter into or effect any “short sales” of the common stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the common stock of Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon submission of conversion notice as set forth in Section 3.1 (up to the amount of cash paid in under the Note), Holder immediately owns the common shares described in the conversion notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such conversion notice would not be considered short sales.

lender (while Lender remains subordinated it is unlikely that the Lender will
make any additional payments), the existence of any Event of Default under any
agreement between the Borrower and the Lender, whether Borrower is in default
under any other financing arrangements, and whether Borrower is DTC eligible.
- The Borrower understands and agrees that other than the $100,000 payment
above, any additional payments from the Lender will require the Lender’s
mutual agreement. Lender does not guarantee that it will make any additional
payments.
- The Principal Sum of $1,110,000 on Consideration of $1 million reflects a 10% original issue discount (“OID”). The Principal Sum on the Note shall be prorated based on the amounts actually funded by Lender taking into account the OID, and the aggregate balance shall include the Principal Sum plus the Interest Rate and any other fees. For instance, the aggregate balance on the Note shall be $116,667 immediately after Lender funds the initial $100,000 payment set forth above.

LITHIUM EXPLORATION GROUP, INC.
Warrant Shares: 540,540 | Initial Issue Date: February 13, 2013 |
Aggregate Exercise Amount: $100,000 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, JMJ Financial, its Principal, or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Termination Date”), to subscribe for and purchase from Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 540,540 shares (as subject to adjustment herein, the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 1.2.
ARTICLE 1 EXERCISE RIGHTS
The Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock as set forth below. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement Document SPA-02132013 dated February 13, 2013 between the Company and the Holder (the “Agreement”).
1.1 Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, from and after the Initial Exercise Date, and then at any time, by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or emailed copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto. Within three (3) business days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1.3 below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise form within 24 hours of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
1.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.185 per share, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). The aggregate exercise price is $100,000.

DOCUMENT W-02132013
1.3 Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the earlier of (i) the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Agreement and (ii) the completion of the then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor provision then in effect, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = |
the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise; | |
(B) = |
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and | |
(X) = |
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
1.4 Termination. On the Termination Date, if all or any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised, the Termination Date shall be automatically extended for two years.
1.5 Delivery of Warrant Shares. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder will be delivered to Holder by 2:30 pm EST within two (2) business days of Notice of Exercise by “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). For example, if Holder delivers a Notice of Exercise to the Company at 5:15 pm eastern time on Monday January 1st, the Company’s transfer agent must deliver shares to Holder’s broker via “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer by no later than 2:30 pm eastern time on Wednesday January 3rd. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Holder may assess penalties or liquidated damages (both referred to herein as “penalties”) as follows. For each exercise, in the event that shares are not delivered by the third business day (inclusive of the day of exercise), the Company shall pay the Holder in cash a penalty of $2,000 per day for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of exercise) until share delivery is made. The Company will not be subject to any penalties once its transfer agent correctly processes the shares to the DWAC system. The Company will make its best efforts to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Holder the same day or next day.
1.6 Delivery of Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company. If the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, this Warrant shall automatically be cancelled without the need to surrender the Warrant to the Company for cancellation. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant and, for purposes of Rule 144, shall tack back to the original date of this Warrant.
1.7 Warrant Exercise Rescission Rights. For any reason in Holder’s sole discretion, including if the Warrant Shares are not delivered by DWAC/FAST electronic transfer or in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 1.5, or for any other reason, Holder may, at any time prior to selling those Warrant Shares rescind such exercise, in whole or in part, in which case the Company must, within three (3) days of receipt of notice from the Holder, repay to the Holder the portion of the exercise price so rescinded and reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which the exercise was rescinded and, for purposes of Rule 144, such reinstated portion of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall tack back to the original date of this Warrant. If Warrant Shares were issued to Holder prior to Holder’s rescission notice, upon return of payment from the Company, Holder will, within three (3) days of receipt of payment, commence procedures to return the Warrant Shares to the Company.

1.8 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other fees, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either (x) reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded), (y) deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder, or (z) pay in cash to the Holder the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.
1.9 Make-Whole for Market Loss after Exercise. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares by DWAC/FAST electronic transfer (such as by delivering a physical certificate) and if the Holder incurs a Market Price Loss, then at any time subsequent to incurring the loss the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Market Price Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:
Market Price Loss = [(High trade price on the day of exercise) x (Number of Warrant Shares)] – [(Sales price realized by Holder) x (Number of Warrant Shares)]
The Company must pay the Market Price Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.
1.10 Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:
Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of Warrant Shares)]
The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.
1.11 Choice of Remedies. Nothing herein, including, but not limited to, Holder’s electing to pursue its rights under Sections 1.9 or 1.10 of this Warrant, shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
1.12 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.
1.13 Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both the Company and the Holder, at no time will the Holder exercise any amount of this Warrant to purchase Common Stock that would result in the Holder owning more than 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding of the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within twenty-four (24) hours confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

ARTICLE 2 ADJUSTMENTS
2.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
2.2 Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or any security entitling the holder thereof (including sales or grants to the Holder) to acquire Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (a “Common Stock Equivalent”), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price regardless of whether such holder has received or ever receives shares at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and consequently the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the Aggregate Exercise Amount hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the Aggregate Exercise Amount prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the business day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2.2, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). In addition, the Company shall provide the Holder, whenever the Holder requests at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a schedule of all issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents since the date of the Agreement, including the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, exercise price and other pricing terms. The term issuances shall also include all agreements to issue, or prospectively issue Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, regardless of whether the issuance contemplated by such agreement is consummated. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing of any issuances within twenty-four (24) hours of such issuance. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.

2.3 This Section 2.3 intentionally left blank.
2.4 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 2.3), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
2.5 Notice to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Article 2, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder (by written notice) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ARTICLE 3 COMPANY COVENANTS
3.1 Reservation of Shares. As set forth in Section 2.2 of document SPA-02132013, as of the issuance date of this Warrant and for the remaining period during which the Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company represents that upon issuance, such Warrant Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant constitutes full authority to its officers, agents and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing shares to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. No further approval or authority of the stockholders of the Board of Directors of the Company is required for the issuance of the Warrant Shares.
3.2 No Adverse Actions. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
ARTICLE 4 MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

DOCUMENT W-02132013
4.2 Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, by a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. If necessary to obtain a new warrant for any assignee, the Company, upon surrender of this Warrant, shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and such new Warrants, for purposes of Rule 144, shall tack back to the original date of this Warrant. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
4.3 Assignability. The Company may not assign this Warrant. This Warrant will be binding upon the Company and its successors, and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder to anyone of its choosing without the Company’s approval.
4.4 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.
4.5 Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of Florida or in the federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, in the State of Florida. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
4.6 Delivery of Process by Holder to the Company. In the event of any action or proceeding by Holder against the Company, and only by Holder against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by Holder via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Company at its last known address or to its last known attorney set forth in its most recent SEC filing.
4.7 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 1.1. So long as this Warrant is unexercised, this Warrant carries no voting rights and does not convey to the Holder any “control” over the Company, as such term may be interpreted by the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of whether the price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the Exercise Price.
4.8 Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, 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 Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
4.9 Attorney Fees. In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Warrant with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Warrant or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

DOCUMENT W-02132013
4.10 Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Warrant, Holder has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel. Holder also has the right to have any such opinion provided by the Company’s counsel.
4.11 Nonwaiver. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
4.12 Amendment Provision. The term “Warrant” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, means this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.
4.13 No Shorting. Holder agrees that so long as this Warrant remains unexercised in whole or in part, Holder will not enter into or effect any “short sale” of the common stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the common stock of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that as of the date of delivery to the Company of a fully and accurately completed Notice of Exercise, Holder immediately owns the common shares described in the Notice of Exercise and any sale of those shares issuable under such Notice of Exercise would not be considered short sales.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AGREEMENT
DOCUMENT
RW-02132013
These Representations and Warranties apply to the Securities Purchase Agreement Document SPA-02132013 (the “Agreement”) dated as of February 13, 2013, between Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and JMJ Financial (the “Purchaser”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.
The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date of the Agreement (unless otherwise stated), as follows:
1) Authorized Capital Stock. The Company has 500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 100,000,000 authorized preferred shares. There are 40,398,213 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding. The Company has options to purchase 2,000,000 common shares outstanding. The Company has reserved for other parties from its authorized shares of common stock 2,000,000 shares in respect of options and 15,000,000 for its convertible debentures.
