Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling any of the Securities, has no present intention of

of its business. Purchaser does not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the

Company’s securities through Purchaser or any of its Affiliates before the
expiration of any restricted period contained in Regulation S. To the
best knowledge of Purchaser, this agreement and the transactions contemplated by
it are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the
Securities Act, and Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment
purposes. Purchaser and, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, each
distributor, if any, participating in this offering of the Securities have
agreed that they will neither offer nor sell any Securities before the date

S.

7
(b) The
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as it is required under the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under it, on any of the
Securities any of the following legends or substantially similar
legends:
These
securities have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
or the securities commission of any state and are issued in reliance upon an
exemption from under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an
available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with applicable state
securities laws as evidenced by a legal opinion of counsel to the transferor to
such effect, the substance of which will be reasonably acceptable to the
Company.
These
securities have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation S thereunder. The
securities evidenced by this certificate cannot be transferred, offered, or sold
in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as that term is defined in Regulation
S) except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant
to an available exemption from registration.
4.2 Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless Purchaser has first executed a written
agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of the information.

Closing. The Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered,
the respective Shares and Warrants purchased by each Purchaser to the Purchaser
within 3 Trading Days of the Closing Date.

Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other
Purchaser, that the SEC takes the position that using the Shares to cover short
sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box before the effective
date of a registration statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities
Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of
Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the
Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Accordingly, no
Purchaser will use any of the Shares to cover any short sales made before the
effective date of any registration statement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that
the Company does not intend to file a registration statement to register the
Shares. Further, each Purchaser will comply with any obligations it might have
under Regulation M with respect to the resale of the Securities.

cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon its cancellation,
or in lieu of and substitution, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or
destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. An
applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances will pay
any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of the replacement
Securities.
5.13 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided in this agreement or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each party is entitled to
specific performance under the Transaction Documents.
5.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers’
Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser
under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser is responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction
Documents. Nothing contained in any Transaction Documents, and no action taken
by any Purchaser pursuant to them, can be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to the obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser is entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights
arising out of this agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it
is not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for this purpose. Each Purchaser has been
represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of
the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all
Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of
the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the
Purchasers.
In
witness whereof, the parties hereto have caused this Securities Purchase
Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of
the date indicated.

Exhibit
A
Neither
this security nor the securities into which this security is exercisable have
been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities
commission of any state. The securities are issued in
reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933
(the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, may not be offered or sold except
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with
applicable state securities laws as evidenced by a legal opinion of counsel to
the transferor to such effect, the substance of which will be reasonably
acceptable to the company.
This
security and the securities into which this security is exercisable have been
issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities SAt of
1933, as amended, pursuant to regulation S thereunder. This security and the
securities into which this security is excercisable cannot be transferred,
offered, or sold in the united states or to U.S. Persons (as that term is
defined in regulation S) except pursuant to registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration.
COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
#2008-05-14/____
To
purchase _______shares of common stock of
RED
LAKE EXPLORATION, INC.
Issue date: May 14,
2008
This
common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for
value received, (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 given above (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and by
the close of business on the second anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date
(the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Red Lake Exploration,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up
to shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The
purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant is equal to the
Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(a).
1.
Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant have the same meanings as
they have in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated
May 14, 2008, among the Company and the Holder as Purchaser.
2.
Exercise
(a) Exercise Price. The
exercise price for the purchase of the Warrant Shares is $0.50 per share.
(b) Exercise of
Warrant. The Holder may exercise the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant at any time from the Initial Exercise Date to five
o’clock in the afternoon, Pacific time, on the Termination Date by delivering to
the Company (i) a duly executed facsimile copy of the annexed Notice
of Exercise, and, (ii) within 5 Trading Days of delivering the Notice of
Exercise to the Company, (A) this Warrant, and (B) by wire or cashier’s check
drawn on a United States bank the United States dollar amount equal to the
number of Warrant Shares being purchased times the Exercise Price (the “Exercise Amount”).
12
(c) Exercise
limitations
(i)
The Holder may not exercise any portion of this Warrant if, immediately after
the Warrant Shares are issued, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates includes the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but excludes the number of shares of Common Stock that
would be issuable upon (i) the Holder’s exercise of the remaining, unexercised
portion of this Warrant and (ii) the Holder’s or its Affiliates’ exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company that the Holder or any of its Affiliates own beneficially.
Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, for the purposes of this Section
2(c), beneficial ownership must be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).
(ii)
The Holder acknowledges that the Company is not representing to Holder
that the calculation described in Section 2(c)(i) complies with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to
be filed in accordance with it. The determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
and its Affiliates) is in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission
of a Notice of Exercise is deemed to be the Holder’s declaration that the Holder
has determined that this Warrant is exercisable as set out in the Notice of
Exercise and subject to the limitations in this Section 2(c); and the Company is
not obliged to verify or confirm the accuracy of the Holder’s
determination.
(iii) For
the purposes of this Section 2(c), in determining the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of (A) the latest filed of the
Company’s Form 10-QSB and Form 10-KSB, (B) a public announcement by the Company
stating the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, or (C) any other
notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent stating the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. If Holder asks for it, the Company
will within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
(d) Mechanics of
Exercise
(i)
Authorization of Warrant
Shares. The Company will issue all Warrant Shares as duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all
taxes, liens and charges (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with the issue).
(ii)
Delivery of certificates upon
exercise. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to
deliver certificates for Warrant Shares to the Holder at the address specified
by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three Trading Days from the later
of (A) the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, (B) the Holder’s
surrender of this Warrant, and (C) the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Amount
as set out in Section 2(b) (“Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). This Warrant is deemed to have been exercised on the
date the Exercise Amount is received by the Company (“Exercise Date”); and the
Warrant Shares are deemed to have been issued, and Holder is deemed to have
become a holder of record of the shares for all purposes, on the Exercise
Date.
(iii) Cashless
exercise. If, at any time after the end of six months from the
issue date of this Warrant, the Company’s shares trade in a Trading Market for
30 consecutive Trading Days at $0.80 per share or more, then the Holder must
exercise any part of this warrant that is then unexercised within five days of
the end of the 30 Trading Days. If the Holder fails to complete the
exercise within the five days, then the Company may force the exercise of this
Warrant by a cashless exercise and issue to the Holder a certificate
representing the number of Warrant Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained
according to the following formula:
13
(A-B) X
A
Where:
A =
the average closing price at which the Company’s stock traded during the last
five Trading Days of the 30 Trading Days;
B =
the Exercise Price, as adjusted; and
X =
the number Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this warrant in
accordance with its terms.
(iv)
Delivery of new warrants upon
exercise. If the Holder exercises this Warrant in part, the
Company will, when it delivers the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new warrant evidencing the rights of Holder
to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares, identical in all other respects with
this Warrant.
(v)
Rescission
rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
send to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Section 2(d)(v) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the
Holder may rescind the exercise.
(vi)
No fractional shares or
scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the Holder
would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares upon the exercise, the Company
will pay a cash adjustment in respect of the fraction in an amount equal to the
fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
(vii)
Charges, taxes and
expenses. The Company will issue certificates for Warrant
Shares in the name of the Holder and will not charge the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of the
certificate.
(viii)
Closing of
books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or
records in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant.
3.
Certain
Adjustments
(a) 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 on
shares of its Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalent (which, for
avoidance of doubt, does not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the
Company pursuant to this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines 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
the Exercise Price must be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding before the event and of which the denominator is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding after the event, and the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant must be proportionately adjusted by this
fraction. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) is
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive the dividend or distribution and is effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.
14
(b) Fundamental Transaction. If,
at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company merges or
consolidates with or into another Person, (ii) the Company sells all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(iii) any Person completes a tender offer or exchange offer by which holders of
Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company reclassifies its Common Stock
or completes any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Warrant, the Holder has the right
to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issued upon the exercise
absent the Fundamental Transaction, the same consideration as the Company has
given its other holders of its Common Stock for the conversion of their Common
Stock outstanding at the time of the Fundamental Transaction (the “Alternate
Consideration”). Any successor to the Company or surviving
entity in a Fundamental Transaction must issue to the Holder a new warrant
consistent with the foregoing provisions with evidence of the Holder’s right to
exercise the warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any
agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is completed must include
terms requiring the successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions
of this Section 3(b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any replacement
security) is similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 must be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a
share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time does not include shares of Common Stock owned or
held by or for the account of the Company. For the purposes of this
Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date is the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(d) Notice to
Holders. If the Company makes adjustments under this Section
3, the Company will promptly mail to each Holder a notice containing a
description of the event that required the adjustment.
4.
Warrant
register. The Company will register this Warrant on its
warrant register and will treat the registered Holder as the absolute owner for
all purposes.
5.
Miscellaneous
(a) Title to
Warrant. This Warrant is not transferable.
(b) No rights as shareholder until
Exercise Date. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company before the
Exercise Date. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price, the Company will issue the Warrant Shares to the
Holder as the record owner of the Warrant Shares as of the close of business on
the Exercise Date.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of
the Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of the
cancellation, in lieu of the Warrant or stock certificate.
(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc. If the last date for doing anything under this Warrant
falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then the thing may be done on
the next succeeding Trading Day.
(e) Authorized
Shares.
(i)
The Company covenants that, while the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve
from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to
provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its
issuance of this Warrant constitutes full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase
rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable
action as may be necessary to assure that the Warrant Shares are issued as
provided without a violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed or
quoted.
15
(ii)
Unless waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not by any 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 carrying out of all its
terms and take whatever actions is necessary or appropriate to protect the
rights of Holder under this Warrant from impairment.
(f)
Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Warrant must be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement.
(g)
Restrictions. The
Holder acknowledges that the Holder’s sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares, if
not registered, will be subject to restrictions upon resale imposed by state and
federal securities laws.
(h)
No
waiver. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder operates as a waiver of the
right or otherwise prejudices Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
(i)
Notice. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered
by either party to the other must be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(j)
Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
inures to the benefit of and binds the successors and permitted assigns of the
Company and the Holder.
(k)
Amendment. Any
amendment of this Warrant must be in writing and signed by both the Company and
the Holder.
(l)
Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant must be interpreted under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, the provision is ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.
(m) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and are
not, for any purpose, deemed a part of this Warrant.
In
witness whereof the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly
authorized officer.
