WARRANT AGENT AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT 4.3

This Agreement is between Rockdale Resources Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), and Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Warrant Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Company, at or about the time that it is entering into this Agreement, proposes to issue and sell to public investors up to 2,000 Units. Each Unit consists of (i) 500 Microbonds and (ii) 2,500 Series A Warrants (each a "Series A Warrant," collectively, the "Series A Warrants") of the Company. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock upon the terms and conditions and subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, all as set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to retain the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and replacement of the certificates evidencing the Series A Warrants to be issued under this Agreement (each a "Warrant Certificate," collectively, the “Warrant Certificates”) and the exercise of the Series A Warrants.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Agent wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of the Series A Warrants and the rights of the holders thereof (each a "Warrant Holder," collectively, the “Warrant Holders”) and to set forth the respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Warrant Agent. Each Warrant Holder is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the rights of Warrant Holders herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Warrants. Each Series A Warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock (each a “Share,” collectively, the "Shares") at $2.00 per Share. The exercise price for the Series A Warrant is referred to herein as the "Exercise Price." The Exercise Price is subject to adjustments as provided in Section 12 hereof. A Warrant Holder may exercise all or any number of Series A Warrants resulting in the purchase of a whole number of Shares.

Exercise Period. The Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time on _____, 2017 (“Expiration Date”). After the Expiration Date, any unexercised Series A Warrants will be void and all rights of Warrant Holders shall cease; provided, however, the Company may, in its sole discretion, extend the Exercise Period and delay the Expiration Date by providing not less than 10 days' prior notice, which may be in the form of a press release, of such extension.

Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. Warrant Certificates shall be signed by, or shall bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President of the Company and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. If any person, whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate or the signature of an officer of the Company, shall have ceased to be such officer before such Warrant Certificate is countersigned, issued and delivered, such Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned, issued and delivered with the same effect as if such person had not ceased to be such officer. Any Warrant Certificate may be signed by, or made to bear the facsimile signature of, any person who at the actual date of the preparation of such Warrant Certificate shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate even though such person was not such an officer upon the date of the Agreement.

Countersigning. Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent hereby is authorized to countersign and deliver to, or in accordance with the instructions of, any Warrant Holder any Warrant Certificate which is properly issued.

Registration of Transfer and Exchanges. The Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificate upon records maintained by the Warrant Agent for such purpose upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for transfer, accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent and duly executed by the Warrant Holder or a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued in the name of and to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled.

Exercise of Warrants.

(a)

Subject to the terms of the Series A Warrants, any Series A Warrant may be exercised upon any single occasion during the exercise period. The Series A Warrants shall be exercised by the Warrant Holder by surrendering to the Warrant Agent the Warrant Certificate with the exercise form on the reverse of such Warrant Certificate duly completed and executed and delivering to the Warrant Agent (or by providing such other notice of exercise made available by the Company), by good check or bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent, the Exercise Price for each Share to be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will extend a three day "protect" period after the Expiration Date so that any Series A Warrant for which notice of exercise is received in the three business days prior to and including the Expiration Date shall be deemed exercised so long as the Exercise Price is received by the Warrant Agent no more than three business days after the notice of exercise.

(b)

Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate with the exercise form thereon duly executed together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Shares for which Series A Warrants are then being exercised, the Warrant Agent shall requisition from any transfer agent for the Shares, and upon receipt shall make delivery of, certificates evidencing the total number of whole Shares for which Series A Warrants are then being exercised in such names and denominations as are required for delivery to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Warrant Holder. Such certificates for the Shares shall be deemed to be issued, and the person whom such Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares, as of the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, whichever shall last occur; provided that if the transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares, shall be closed, the certificates for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants shall be issued as of the date on which such books shall next be open, and the person to whom such Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a record holder of such Shares as of the date on which such books shall next be open (whether before, on or after the Expiration Date) and until such date the Warrant Agent shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares.

(c)

If less than all of a Warrant Holder’s Series A Warrants are exercised upon a single occasion, a new Warrant Certificate for the balance of the Series A Warrants not so exercised shall be issued and delivered to, or in accordance with, transfer instructions properly given by the Warrant Holder until the Expiration Date.

(d)

All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise shall be cancelled.

(e)

Upon the exercise of any Series A Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall promptly deposit the payment into an escrow account established by mutual agreement of the Company and the Warrant Agent at a federally insured commercial bank. All funds deposited in the escrow account will be disbursed on a weekly basis to the Company once they have been determined by the Warrant Agent to be collected funds. Once the funds are determined to be collected, the Warrant Agent shall cause the share certificate(s) representing the exercised Series A Warrants to be issued.

(f)

Expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent will be paid by the Company. These expenses, including delivery of Share certificates to the stockholder, will be deducted from the Exercise Price submitted by a Warrant Holder prior to the distribution of funds to the Company. A detailed accounting statement relating to the number of Series A Warrants exercised, name of registered Warrant Holder and the net amount of exercised funds remitted will be given to the Company with the payment of each exercise amount.

Acceleration of Expiration Date.

At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Series A warrants if:

·	The Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable warrant exercise price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·	The average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the ten trading days; and

·	The Company has a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Shares upon exercise of Series A Warrants. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in any issue of Warrant Certificates or in the issue of any certificates of Shares in the name other than that of the Warrant Holder upon the exercise of any Series A Warrants.

Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. On receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory as to the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate. In the case of loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant Certificate, the Registered Owner requesting issuance of a new Warrant Certificate shall be required to secure an indemnity bond from an approved surety bonding company. In the event a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, such Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and canceled by the Warrant Agent prior to delivery of a new Warrant Certificate. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

10.

Reservation of Shares. For the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy all obligations to issue Shares upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares, the full number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants and such Shares will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.

11.

Governmental Restrictions. If any Shares issuable upon the exercise of Series A Warrants require registration or approval of any governmental authority, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shares to be duly registered, or approved, as the case may be, and, to the extent practicable, take all such action in anticipation of and prior to the exercise of the Series A Warrants, including, without limitation, filing any and all post-effective amendments to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-____________) necessary to permit a public offering of the Shares underlying the Series A Warrants at any and all times during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall such Shares be issued, and the Company is authorized to refuse to honor the exercise of any Series A Warrant, if such exercise would result, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, in the violation of any law. In the case of Series A Warrants exercisable solely for securities listed on a securities exchange or for which there are at least three independent market makers, in lieu of obtaining such registration or approval, the Company may elect to redeem Series A Warrants submitted to the Warrant Agent for exercise for a price equal to the difference between the aggregate low asked price, or closing price, as the case may be, of the securities for which such Series A Warrants are exercisable on the date of such submission and the Exercise Price of such Series A Warrants. In the event of such redemption, the Company will pay to the holder of such Series A Warrants the above-described redemption price in cash within 10 business days after receipt of notice from the Warrant Agent that such Series A Warrants have been submitted for exercise. If, at the Expiration Date, the Series A Warrants are not currently exercisable as a result of the provisions of this Section 11, the Expiration Date shall be extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following notice to the Warrant Holders that the Series A Warrants are again exercisable and references to the Expiration Date herein shall thereafter refer to such extended Expiration Date.

12.

Adjustments.

(a)

If prior to the exercise of any Series A Warrants, the Company shall have effected one or more stock split-ups, stock dividends or other increases or reductions of the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, the number of Shares subject to the Series A Warrants shall (i) if a net increase shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price payable per Share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) if a net reduction shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price payable per Share be proportionately increased.

(b)

In the event of a capital reorganization or a reclassification of the Common Stock (except as provided in Subsection 12(a)), any Warrant Holder, upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, shall be entitled to receive, in substitution for the Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder would have become entitled upon exercise immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification, the shares (of any class or classes) or other securities or property of the Company (or cash) that he would have been entitled to receive at the same aggregate Exercise Price upon such reorganization or reclassification if such Series A Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to the record date with respect to such event; and in any such case, appropriate provision (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by a certified Board resolution filed with the Warrant Agent) shall be made for the application of this Section 12 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrant Holders (including but not limited to the allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of classes of capital stock), to the end that this Section 12 (including the adjustments of the number of Shares or other securities purchasable and the Exercise Price thereof) shall thereafter be reflected, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in all subsequent exercises of the Series A Warrants for any shares or securities or other property (or cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants.

(c)

In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Agent a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the holder of each Series A Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Series A Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Series A Warrant, solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (or cash) receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Series A Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 12.

(d)

The Company may, in its sole discretion, lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

13.

Notice to Warrant Holders. Upon any adjustment as described in Section 12, the Company shall (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate signed by a Company officer setting forth the details of such adjustment, the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, (ii) cause notice of such adjustments to be given to the Warrant Holders of record, which notice may be by publication of a press release and by taking such other steps as may be required under applicable laws. Without limiting the obligation of the Company hereunder to provide notice to each Warrant Holder, failure of the Company to give notice shall not invalidate any corporate action taken by the Company.

14.

No Fractional Warrants or Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, upon the reissue of Series A Warrants, or any adjustments as described in Section 12 or otherwise; but the Company in lieu of issuing any such fractional interest, shall round up or down to the nearest full Share issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant. If the total Series A Warrants surrendered by exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share but rather the aggregate number of shares issuable will be rounded up or down to the nearest full share.

15.

Rights of Warrant Holders. No Warrant Holder, as such, shall have any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Warrant Holders, as such, are limited to those rights expressly provided in the Warrant Certificate. The Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Warrant Holder in respect of any Series A Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

16.

Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as the agent of the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment upon the following terms and conditions by all of which the Company and every Warrant Holder, by acceptance of his Warrant Certificates, shall be bound:

(a)

Statements contained in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificate shall be taken as statements of the Company. The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as describes the Warrant Agent or for action taken or to be taken by the Warrant Agent.

(b)

The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the Company’s covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates.

(c)

The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel, provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection and continued employment of such counsel.

(d)

The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder for any action taken in reliance upon any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

(e)

The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and all other charges of any kind or nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct.

(f)

The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more Warrant Holders shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses that may be incurred in connection with such action, suit or legal proceeding, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Series A Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Warrant Holders as their respective rights or interest may appear.

(g)

The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Series A Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.

17.

Successor Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder with the same powers, rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Warrant Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act of a party or the parties hereto. In any such event or if the name of the Warrant Agent is changed, the Warrant Agent or such successor may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and may countersign such Series A Warrants either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent.

18.

Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign or be discharged by the Company from its duties under this Agreement by the Warrant Agent or the Company, as the case may be, by giving notice in writing to the other, and by giving a date when such resignation or discharge shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least 30 days prior to the date so specified. If the Warrant Agent shall resign, be discharged or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any Warrant Holder or after discharging the Warrant Agent, then the Company agrees to perform the duties of the Warrant Agent hereunder until a successor Warrant Agent is appointed. After appointment and execution of a copy of this Agreement in effect at that time, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed and the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it thereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for effecting the delivery or transfer. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 18, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

19.

Notices. Any notice or demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by any Warrant Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by facsimile, mail, first class, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent), as follows:

or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Series A Warrants (“Warrants”) set forth above. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from Rockdale Resources Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter and in the Warrant Agreement between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer dated ___________, 2012 (the “Warrant Agreement”), at any time on or after _______________, 20__ and before the close of business on _______________, 20__ (“Expiration Date”), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stockof the Company (“Common Stock”) upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate, with the instructions for the registration and delivery of Common Stock filled in, at the stock transfer office located in Denver, Colorado of Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Warrant Agent of the Company (“Warrant Agent”) or of its successor warrant agent or, if there be no successor warrant agent, at the corporate offices of the Company, and upon payment of the Exercise Price of $2.00 (as may be adjusted the Warrant Agreement) and any applicable taxes paid either in cash, or by certified or official bank check, payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of the Company. Each Warrant initially entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock. The number and kind of securities or other property for which the Warrants are exercisable are subject to adjustment in certain events, such as mergers, stock splits, and stock dividends, to prevent dilution. The Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) extend the Expiration Date by providing not less than 10 days' prior notice, or (ii) lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date. All Warrants will expire on the Expiration Date.

At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants if:

·	the Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable Exercise Price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·	the average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the twenty consecutive trading days; and

·	the Company has a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

This Warrant Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms, provisions and conditions the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and reference is made to the Warrant Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders of the Warrant Certificates.

In certain cases, the sale of securities by the Company upon exercise of Warrants may violate the securities laws of the United States, certain states thereof or other jurisdictions. The Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to continue to be effective during the term of the Warrants with respect to such sales under the Securities Act of 1933, and to take such action under the laws of various states as may be required to cause the sale of securities upon exercise to be lawful. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, the sale of securities upon such exercise would be unlawful.

No holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained in the Warrant Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.
