"NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE –OR-EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.

IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES."
(j) Communication of Offer. The offer to sell the Securities was directly communicated to Subscriber by the Company. At no time was Subscriber presented with or solicited by any leaflet,
newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of general advertising or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting otherwise than in connection and concurrently with such communicated offer.
(k) Restricted Securities. Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act and Subscriber will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise transfer any of the Securities unless pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Subscriber may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Securities to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any person or entity means any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person or entity. Affiliate includes each Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this definition, “control”
means the power to direct the management and policies of such person or firm, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(l) No Governmental Review. Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other governmental, state or provincial agency has passed on or made recommendations or endorsement
of the Securities or the suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(m) Correctness of Representations. Subscriber represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and, unless Subscriber otherwise notifies the
Company prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.
(n) Canada Resale Restriction. Each Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities are subject to resale restrictions in Canada and may not be traded in Canada except as permitted by the
Securities Act (Alberta) and the rules made thereunder. In particular, pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 45-102, as adopted by the Alberta Securities Commission, a subsequent trade in any of the Securities will be a distribution subject to the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities legislation, unless certain conditions are met, including the following:
(i) at least four months (the "Canadian Hold Period") shall have elapsed from the date on which the Preferred Stock or Warrants were issued to the Subscribers;
(ii) during the currency of the Canadian Hold Period, any certificate representing the Securities is imprinted with a legend (the "Canadian Legend") stating:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES SHALL NOT TRADE THE SECURITIES BEFORE [INSERT THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DISTRIBUTION DATE." |
(iii) the trade is not a control distribution (as defined in Multilateral Instrument 45-102);
(iv) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the Underlying Shares that are the subject of the trade;
(v) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the trade; and
(vi) if the selling security holder is an insider or officer of the Company, the selling security holder has no reasonable grounds to believe that the Company is in default of securities legislation.
By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Subscriber will have directed the Company not to include the Canadian Legend on any certificates representing the Securities to be issued to such Subscriber. As a consequence, the Subscriber will not be able to rely on the resale provisions of Multilateral Instrument 45-102, and
any subsequent trade in the Securities during or after the Canadian Hold Period will be a distribution subject to the prospectus and registration requirements of Canadian securities legislation, to the extent that the trade is at that time subject to any such Canadian securities legislation.
(o) Survival. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date.

The Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder have been unanimously approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority in the world, including without limitation, the United States, or elsewhere is required by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect or the consummation of any of the other agreements,
covenants or commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. Any such qualifications and filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective on the Closing and will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by law.
(f) No Violation or Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscriber in Section 4 are true and correct, neither the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the performance
of the Company’s obligations under Transaction Documents by the Company relating thereto by the Company will:

jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that would affect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which
litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) No Market Manipulation. The Company and its Affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result
in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities or affect the price at which the Securities may be issued or resold.
(j) Information Concerning Company. The Reports and Other Written Information contain all material information relating to the Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective
dates which information is required to be disclosed therein. Since April 30, 2008 and except as modified in the Reports and Other Written Information or in the Schedules hereto, there has been no Material Adverse Event relating to the Company's business, financial condition or affairs. The Reports and Other Written Information including the financial statements included therein do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances and when made.
(k) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid
on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii)
the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
(l) Defaults/Compliance. The Company is not in violation of its Articles or bylaws. The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters, or (iii) not in violation of
any statute, law, rule or regulation (including but not limited to those relating to the environment) of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security
of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Bulletin Board. No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply
with its obligations hereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or steps that would cause the offer or issuance of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings which would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. The Company will not conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the
Securities that would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon
the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

Subscribers
will be granted sufficient time to notify the Company that Subscribers elects not to receive such information. In such case, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers.

managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Company or breach of any representation or warranty by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto in any Transaction Document, or other agreement delivered pursuant

(b) Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 9(b) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 9(b), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense

counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
(continued)
10. Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.
(a) Delivery of Unlegended Shares. Within five (5) business days (such fifth business day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”)
after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by Subscriber has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule
144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required, Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(i) above (the “Unlegended
Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(b) DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber
is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 10 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares
as required by this Section 10 for an aggregate of thirty days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 105% of the Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered, or (ii) a fraction in which
the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty day period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand.
18
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
(continued)
(d) Injunction. In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 10 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section
10, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of 12%
of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which is subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
(e) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber)
the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example,
if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) 144 Default. In the event commencing six months after the Closing Date and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter, the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), for any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any other filings by the required filing dates, except for Subscriber’s
status as an Affiliate or “control person” of the Company or as a result of a change in current applicable securities laws, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty days) an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.8 in

(a) Right of First Refusal. Until the later of one year following the Closing Date, the Subscribers shall be given
not less than fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Other Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances (defined below). If Subscribers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 11, the Subscribers shall have the right during the fifteen (15) business days following receipt of the notice
to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Preferred Stock to be issued to them on the Closing Date. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the fifteen (15) business days following the notice
of modification to exercise such right. Commencing one year after the Closing Date, and ending the later of either (i) 24 months following the Closing Date or; (ii) while either the Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, each Subscriber is granted the foregoing right to participate in an Other Offering, up to a portion of such Other Offering equal to the gross amount of such Other Offering multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the total amount of
Conversion Shares issuable upon the complete conversion of the Preferred Stock held by such Subscriber on the date notice is required to be given and the denominator of which is the total amount of Common Stock that would be outstanding on such date assuming the complete conversion of all Preferred Stock outstanding on such date. “Excepted Issuances” shall mean: (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic synergistic
merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or
debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d) as such plans are constituted on the Closing Date, (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or
exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date and described on Schedule 5(d), and (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Preferred Stock which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement. With respect only to Series B Preferred Stock and Series B Warrants issuable upon exercise of Additional Investments Rights
that have not been exercised on or before the later of both (y) one hundred and ninety-five (195) days after the Closing Date, and (z) thirty (30) days after the date the Barrel Condition Notice has been given, (the later of such dates being the “Barrel Condition End Date”), Excepted Issuance shall also include an Other Offering equal to the difference between $2,000,000 minus the aggregate amount of Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock for
which the Additional Investment Rights have been exercised as of the Barrel Condition End Date.
(b) Maximum Exercise of Rights. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to exercise the rights set forth in Section 11(a) on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and its affiliates on such exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. For
the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%. The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Subscriber to the Company to increase such
percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in excess of 9.99%. The Subscriber’s determinations in connection with this Section 11(b) shall be dispositive.

(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant
to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.
1.5. Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder
any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.
1.6. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that, provided the full purchase price listed in the Subscription Form is received as specified in Section 1.2, the shares of Common
Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”),
the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in
lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in
economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $100 per business day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section
in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise
of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
1.7. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant, after the Warrant
Share Delivery Date and the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having
a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares to have been received upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

2. Cashless Exercise.
(a) Payment upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder either in (i) cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) commencing nine months after the
Issue Date, by delivery of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, payment upon exercise may be made in the manner described in Section 2(b) below only with respect to Warrant Shares not included for unrestricted public resale in an effective Registration Statement on the date notice of exercise is given by the Holder.
(b) If the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below)
of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by delivery of a properly endorsed Subscription Form delivered to the Company by any means described in Section 13, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
A
Where |
X= |
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder |
|
Y= |
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation) |
|
A= |
Fair Market Value |
|
B= |
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

FORM OF SERIES A WARRANT
(continued)
3.1. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, or spin-off) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party
to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 0000 Xxx) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or 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 exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate Consideration") receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act, or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to
the Black-Scholes Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in
such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and insuring that this
Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
3.2. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue
in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not
such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated
by Section 3.2.

3.3 Share Issuance. Until the Expiration Date, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete
exercise of this Warrant for a consideration less than the Purchase Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to such other lower price for then outstanding Warrants. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common
Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance or at any time this Warrant is outstanding and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance. Common
Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. Upon any reduction of the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.3) be issuable on such exercise
by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.3) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common
Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number
of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its
expense will promptly (and in any event not later than three days after the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment) cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the
Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy
of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise
of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof, upon written request, to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a
"Transferor"). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the
transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft
or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The
terms of the Subscription Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. For the purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%. The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in excess of
9.99%. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Convertible Note or exercise this Warrant to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99% ownership position as described above, but not in excess of 9.99%.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities)
on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.

14. Law Governing This Warrant. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 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 New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of New York. The parties to this Warrant hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum
non conveniens. The Company and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to
conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

FORM OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHTS CERTIFICATE
(continued)
b) MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.

of this AIR and payment of the principal amount as set forth above ("AIR SECURITIES DELIVERY DATE"). This AIR shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the payment of the principal amount is received by the Company. The AIR Securities 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 the AIR Securities for all purposes, as of the date the AIR
has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price to be paid by the Holder.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Stock Options and Equity Incentive Plans
On June 5, 2008, our board of directors adopted two new equity incentive plans, the Canadian equity incentive plan and the U.S. equity incentive plan. The Canadian equity incentive plan replaces and supersedes Canadian stock option plan, and the U.S. equity incentive plan replaces and super cedes the U.S. stock option plan. Each of our
equity and stock option plans are described below.
The purpose of the equity and stock option plans are to provide us with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, consultants and employees, to reward those persons from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals of our company, and to enable and encourage such directors,
officers, consultants and employees to acquire our common shares as long-term investments.
Canadian Equity Incentive Plan
The Canadian equity incentive plan was adopted by our board of directors and became effective on June 5, 2008. The material terms of the plan are; (a) the total number of shares of our common stock that may be awarded under the plan plus the total number of shares of our common stock that may be awarded under the U.S. equity incentive plan
under a stock option plan, dated June 5, 2008, for United States based employees cannot exceed 10 percent of the total number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding from time to time; (b) the plan administrator is appointed by the board of directors; (c) the term of the plan is indefinite; (d) awards eligible to be awarded under the plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock based awards; (e) options are subject to adjustment
in the event of s subdivision or consolidation of our common shares, an amalgamation, or other corporate event affecting our common shares; and (0 the board determines the date of grant, the number of optioned shares, the exercise price per share, the vesting period and term. The minimum exercise price of any option granted under the plan is the weighted average price of our common shares on the principal stock exchange on which our common shares trade for the five trading days prior to and including the date
of grant.
The Canadian equity incentive plan is filed as Exhibit 4.37 to our annual report on Form 20-F filed on August 29, 2008.
Canadian Stock Option Plan
We adopted a formal written stock option plan for Canadian resident directors, senior officers, employees and consultants on August 24, 2004. The plan provides that stock options granted under the plan vest in the manner determined by the administrator appointed under the plan on the date of the grant. The price at which a stock option
may be exercised is determined by our board of directors at the time of the grant. The plan also provides that we may not grant stock options to any person or that person's associates that will in aggregate, when exercised, exceed in any 12 month period 5 percent of our issued and outstanding common shares.
74
SCHEDULE 9 (Q)
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
(continued)
As of February 19, 2007 and August 9, 2007, our Canadian stock option plan was amended and restated as follows: (a) to provide that the total number of shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of stock options issued under the plan plus the total number of shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise
of stock options issued under a stock option plan, dated January 5, 2007, for United States based employees cannot exceed 20 percent of the total number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding from time to time; (b) to set out the circumstances under which the number and class of shares issuable upon the exercise of a stock option will be adjusted; (c) to allow for the immediate vesting of all unexpired and unvested

CERTIFICATE TO SET FORTH DESIGNATIONS, VOTING POWERS,
PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND RELATIVE
RIGHTS OF SERIES A CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK, NO PAR VALUE PER SHARE
1. Name of corporation:
MegaWest Energy Corp. (the “Corporation”), a corporation continued under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
2. Designation:
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, issuable only pursuant to and in connection with a Subscription Agreement dated at or about August ___, 2009, among the Corporation and the original Subscribers to Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Schedule A. Capitalized terms
employed herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.
A. Designation: Number of Shares. The designation of said series of Preferred Stock shall be Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be 29,500. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $100.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Series A Stated Value”), and no par value.
B. Dividends.
(a) The Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive preferential dividends at the rate of 5% per share per annum on the Stated Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock out of any funds of the Corporation legally available
for such purpose, but before any dividend or other distribution will be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any shares of any Junior Stock (defined below). Such dividends shall compound annually and be fully cumulative, and shall accumulate from the date of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall be payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing September 30, 2009, in arrears in cash or as described below, (provided that if such date is a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday in the place where such dividend is to be paid, then such dividend shall be payable without interest on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 3 below) and while such Event of Default is outstanding, such dividend rate shall be increased to 15% per annum on the Stated Value per share. Dividends must be delivered to the holders not later than five business days after each specified
dividend payment date. At the Corporation’s option, such dividend payments may be made in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at the Stated Value thereof, in an amount equal to 150% of the cash dividend otherwise payable, provided there is not an existing current Event of Default on the quarterly date on which a dividend payment is payable, in which event the Holder entitled to receive such dividend may elect to receive such dividends in cash or additional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. The issuance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall constitute full payment of such dividends.
(b) The dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at the rates provided above shall be cumulative whether or not declared so that, if at any time full cumulative dividends at the rate aforesaid on all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding from the date
from and after which dividends thereon are cumulative to the end of the quarterly dividend period next preceding such time shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, or if the full dividend on all such outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for the then current dividend period shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the amount of the deficiency shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment before any sum shall be set apart for or applied by the Corporation or a
subsidiary of the Corporation to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Series A Preferred Stock or any shares of any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and before any dividend or other distribution shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any Junior Stock and before any sum shall be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of
any Junior Stock.
81
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT
(continued)
C. Liquidation and Redemption Rights. Upon the occurrence of a “Liquidation Event” (as defined below), the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and
before any payment or distribution shall be made on any shares of any Common Stock or other class of stock presently authorized or to be authorized (the Common Stock and such other stock being hereinafter collectively, the “Junior Stock”), out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, an amount equal to two (2) times the Series A Stated Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date of payment thereof. Upon
the payment in full of all amounts due to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock (on an as converted basis), the Common Stock and any other class of Junior Stock shall collectively receive all remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution. If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full of the amounts payable as aforesaid to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon a
Liquidation Event, then all such assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the exclusion of the Holders of Junior Stock ratably among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. “Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, (ii) the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of any class of stock or the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations
unless (a) the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock receive securities of the surviving corporation having substantially similar rights as the Series A Preferred Stock and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction are holders of at least a majority of the voting securities of the successor corporation immediately thereafter, unless the Holders of a Majority in Interest [as defined in Section 4(E)] of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock elect otherwise or (b) the sale, license
or lease of all or substantially all, or any material part of, the Corporation’s assets, unless the Holders of a Majority in Interest elect otherwise.
D. Conversion into Common Stock. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights and obligations:
(a) Subject to the further provisions of this paragraph D(a) each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time commencing after the issuance to the Holder Series A Preferred Stock, to convert such shares, accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series
A Preferred Stock (whether or not declared) and any other sum owed by the Corporation arising from the Series A Preferred Stock or pursuant to the Subscription Agreement entered into by the Corporation and the Holder or Holder’s predecessor in connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock (each a “Subscription Agreement”) (collectively “Obligation Amount”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation determined in accordance with the applicable
“Conversion Price” provided in paragraph D(b) below (the “Conversion Price”). All issued or accrued but unpaid dividends may be converted at the election of the Holder simultaneously with the conversion of principal amount of Series A Stated Value, as the case may be, being converted.
(b) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Obligation Amount shall equal (i) the sum of (A) the Series A Stated Value per share being converted, and (B) at the Holder’s election, accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares, divided
by (ii) the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.07, subject to adjustment only as described herein.
82
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT
(continued)
(c) Holder will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit
A to this Certificate of Designation) to the Corporation via confirmed telecopier transmission. The Holder will not be required to surrender the Series A Preferred Stock certificate until in each case the Series A Preferred Stock has been fully converted. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion
Date. The Corporation will itself or cause the Corporation’s transfer agent to transmit the Corporation’s Common Stock certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Holder via express courier for receipt by such Holder within five (5) business days after receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the event the Common Stock is electronically transferable, then delivery
of the Common Stock must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Holder. A Series A Preferred Stock certificate representing the balance of the Series A Preferred Stock not so converted will be provided by the Corporation to the Holder if requested by Holder, provided the Holder has delivered the original Series A Preferred Stock certificate to the Corporation. To the extent that a Holder elects not to surrender Series A Preferred
Stock for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Corporation against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount of the Series A Stated Value then owned by the Holder.
In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth in paragraph D(a) the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion. The person
or entity entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall, on the date such conversion privilege is deemed to have been exercised and thereafter, be treated for all purposes as the recordholder of such Common Stock and shall on the same date cease to be treated for any purpose as the record Holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted.
Upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock no adjustment or payment shall be made with respect to such converted shares on account of any dividend on the Common Stock, except that the Holder of such converted shares shall be entitled to be paid any dividends declared on shares of Common Stock after conversion thereof.
The Corporation shall not be required, in connection with any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, and payment of dividends on Series A Preferred Stock to issue a fraction of a share of its Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock and shall instead deliver a stock certificate representing the next higher whole number.
The Corporation and Holder may not convert that amount of the Obligation Amount on a Conversion Date in amounts that would result in the Holder having a beneficial ownership of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on such Conversion
Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Obligation Amount with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on such Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. For the purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to successive exercises which would result in the aggregate issuance of more than 4.99%. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the Corporation deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%. The Holder may waive the conversion
limitation described in this Section in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%.
(d) The Conversion Price determined pursuant to Paragraph D(b) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
83
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT
(continued)
(i) In case the Corporation shall at any time (A) declare any dividend or distribution on its Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation other than the Series A Preferred Stock, (B) split or subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares or other securities of the Corporation, then in each such event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately so that the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares or other securities of the Corporation which such Holders would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such shares
of Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event (or any record date with respect thereto). Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment made to the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph D(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event.
(ii) For so long as Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, other than in the case of an “Excepted Issuance” (as defined in Section 11(a) of the Subscription Agreement), if the Corporation issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, for a consideration at a price per share, or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share less than the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately in effect prior to such sale or issuance, then immediately prior to such sale or issuance the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be reduced to such other lower price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the
right to convert such security directly or indirectly into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or
for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to other rights of the Holder described in this Certificate of Designation and the Subscription Agreement.
(e) (1) In case of any merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) then unless the right to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have terminated as part of such merger, lawful provision shall be made so that Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property receivable upon such merger
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation or merger. Such provision shall also provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph D. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph D(e) shall similarly apply to successive mergers.
(i) In case of any sale or conveyance to another person or entity of the property of the Corporation as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which shares or other securities or cash or other property shall be issuable, distributable, payable,
or deliverable for outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, unless the right to convert such shares shall have terminated, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to convert each share of the Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that shall be issuable, distributable, payable, or deliverable upon such sale or conveyance with respect to each share of Common Stock immediately prior
to such conveyance.
84
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHT
(continued)
(f) Whenever the number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is required to be adjusted as provided in this paragraph D(f), the Corporation shall forthwith compute the adjusted number of shares to be so issued and prepare a certificate
setting forth such adjusted conversion amount and the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed with the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock; and the Corporation shall give notice in the manner described in the Subscription Agreement to each Holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock of such adjusted conversion price not later than the first business day after the event, giving rise to the adjustment.
(g) In case at any time the Corporation shall propose:
(i) to pay any dividend or distribution payable in shares upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than cash dividends) to the Holders of its Common Stock; or
(ii) to offer for subscription to the Holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of any class or any other rights; or
(iii) any capital reorganization or reclassification of its shares or the merger of the Corporation with another corporation (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); or
(iv) the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;
then, and in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall cause at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of the date on which (A) the books of the Corporation shall close or a record be taken for such stock dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or (B) such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be, to be mailed to the Holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(h) For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any Obligation Amount shall remain outstanding and the Holders thereof shall have the right to convert the same in accordance with provisions of this paragraph D(h), the Corporation shall at all times, reserve
from the authorized and unissued shares of its Common Stock 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be necessary to allow the conversion of the entire Obligation Amount.
(i) The term “Common Stock” as used in this Certificate of Designation shall mean the no par value Common Stock of the Corporation as such stock is constituted at the date of issuance thereof or as it may from time to time be changed, or shares of stock of
any class or other securities and/or property into which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall at any time become convertible pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph D(i).
(j) The Corporation shall pay the amount of any and all issue taxes (but not income taxes) which may be imposed in respect of any issue or delivery of stock upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but all transfer taxes and income taxes that may
be payable in respect of any change of ownership of Series A Preferred Stock or any rights represented thereby or of stock receivable upon conversion thereof shall be paid by the person or persons surrendering such stock for conversion.
(k) In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation
of law, or for any other reason unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of said shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request or with the Corporation’s assistance and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder equal to 120% of the Obligation Amount sought
to be converted, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

(continued)
(l) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section D(c) by the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date the Holder or a broker on behalf of the Holder
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) within five (5) business days after written notice from the Holder, the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions,
if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(m) The Corporation understands that a delay in the delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in the form required pursuant to this Certificate of Designation and the applicable Subscription Agreement after the Delivery Date could result in
economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Corporation agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for such late issuance of Common Stock upon Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Obligation Amount being converted of the corresponding Common stock which is not timely delivered. The Corporation shall pay any payments incurred under this section
in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Corporation fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Common Stock by the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Corporation whereupon the Corporation and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation is given to the Corporation.

however, that the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which majority must include Iroquois Capital Opportunity Fund, LP, for so long as Iroquois Capital Opportunity Fund, LP holds Series A Preferred Stock having stated value of not less than $150,000 (a “Majority in Interest”), voting as a separate class, shall be required for the following actions:

(ii) reducing the amount payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or change the relative

Directors of the Company (the “Series A Director”), which director shall begin to serve immediately as a director of the Company after the delivery of the Director Nomination Notice if a vacancy then exists in the board. The Company shall, for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, ensure that its Articles and Bylaws authorize a board of directors consisting of seven directors, and as of the Closing Date, there will be one vacancy on the Board of Directors
available for the director to be designated by a Majority in Interest pursuant to this paragraph; provided, however, it is understood that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock need not exercise their rights to nominate a Series A Director pursuant to this Section and, in the absence of such nomination, no vacancy with respect to the Series A Director shall be deemed to exist. The Series A Director (i) shall be elected in accordance with the Business Corporations Act of Alberta, (ii) shall be entitled
to one vote in connection with any matter subject to a vote or other approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (with each remaining six directors entitled to one vote each), and (iii) may be removed only in accordance with the Business Corporations Act of Alberta.

the Principal Market (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) of not less than $0.25 for twenty (20) consecutive trading days during which twenty (20) day period an Event of Default or an event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice could become an Event of Default did not occur or was not pending (the “Threshold Period”), (ii) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the Threshold Period multiplied
by the trading volume each such trading day during the Threshold Period is not less than $75,000, and (iii) the date upon which the gross production and sale of hydrocarbons during the immediately preceding 30-day period ending on the last day of the Threshold Period, totals 15,000 barrels (being 42 United States gallons of oil per barrel) from all of those properties acquired by Holders of Series A Preferred Stock from the Company’s Megawest Energy Missouri Corp. subsidiary pursuant to that certain Agreement
of Purchase and Sale dated as of at or about the initial issue date of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation may, within five (5) business days after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to all Holders (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause
each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon pursuant to Section 3. The “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 2D shall be deemed to occur on the Forced Conversion Notice Date. Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the Holders based on each Holder’s initial purchases of Series A Preferred Stock hereunder,
provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if less than all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a forced conversion under this Section 5 shall be subject to all of
the provisions of Section 2D, including, without limitation, limitations on conversions. The foregoing notwithstanding, a Forced Conversion Notice may not be given if an Event of Default has occurred until one (1) year after such Event of Default had been cured.

EXHIBIT B
Restatement of Comparative Figures:
The 2008 comparative U.S. GAAP amounts have been restated for the amount of Trinity Sands Project (Texas), cost write-downs and clerical errors that were in the previously reported U.S. GAAP consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and accumulated deficit from exploration stage.
I) The clerical errors for U.S. GAAP purposes were as follows:
i) The transfer to share capital of the recorded amount of warrants exercised in 2008 was shown as a $5,033,319 increase in the dollar amount of warrants rather than as a $5,033,319 reduction of the dollar amount of warrants. To correct this error in the restated U.S.
GAAP financial statements, the dollar amount warrants has been reduced by $10,066,638 and the dollar amount of share capital has been increased by an equivalent amount.
ii) A portion of a 2007 entry to record the acquisition of certain properties was not reflected in the 2008 U.S. GAAP financial statements. To correct this, oil and gas assets have been increased by $11,515,824 and share capital has been reduced by $8,599,442.
II) Under Canadian GAAP, the Texas properties were written down to $300,000 in 2008. These properties should also have been recorded at $300,000 for U.S. GAAP purposes. As a result, oil and gas assets have been reduced by $21,691,160 and accumulated deficit from exploration
stage has been increased by an equivalent amount.

CERTIFICATE TO SET FORTH DESIGNATIONS, VOTING POWERS,
PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND RELATIVE
RIGHTS OF SERIES B CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK, NO PAR VALUE PER SHARE
1. Name of corporation:
MegaWest Energy Corp. (the “Corporation”), a corporation continued under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
2. Designation:
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, issuable only pursuant to and in connection with a Subscription Agreement dated at or about August ___, 2009, among the Corporation and the original Subscribers to Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Schedule A. Capitalized terms
employed herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.
A. Designation: Number of Shares. The designation of said series of Preferred Stock shall be Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 29,500. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $100.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Series B Stated Value”), and no par value.
B. Dividends.
(a) The Holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive preferential dividends at the rate of 5% per share per annum on the Stated Value per share of Series B Preferred Stock out of any funds of the Corporation legally available
for such purpose, but before any dividend or other distribution will be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any shares of any Junior Stock (defined below). Such dividends shall compound annually and be fully cumulative, and shall accumulate from the date of original issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, and shall be payable quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing September 30, 2009, in arrears in cash or as described below, (provided that if such date is a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday in the place where such dividend is to be paid, then such dividend shall be payable without interest on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 3 below) and while such Event of Default is outstanding, such dividend rate shall be increased to 15% per annum on the Stated Value per share. Dividends must be delivered to the holders not later than five business days after each specified
dividend payment date. At the Corporation’s option, such dividend payments may be made in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at the Stated Value thereof, in an amount equal to 150% of the cash dividend otherwise payable, provided there is not an existing current Event of Default on the quarterly date on which a dividend payment is payable, in which event the Holder entitled to receive such dividend may elect to receive such dividends in cash or additional shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. The issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall constitute full payment of such dividends.
(b) The dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock at the rates provided above shall be cumulative whether or not declared so that, if at any time full cumulative dividends at the rate aforesaid on all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding from the date
from and after which dividends thereon are cumulative to the end of the quarterly dividend period next preceding such time shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, or if the full dividend on all such outstanding Series B Preferred Stock for the then current dividend period shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the amount of the deficiency shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment before any sum shall be set apart for or applied by the Corporation or a
subsidiary of the Corporation to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Series B Preferred Stock or any shares of any other class of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock and before any dividend or other distribution shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any Junior Stock and before any sum shall be set aside for or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of
any Junior Stock.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION (SERIES B)
(continued)
C. Liquidation and Redemption Rights. Upon the occurrence of a “Liquidation Event” (as defined below), the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and before any payment or distribution
shall be made on any shares of any Common Stock or other class of stock presently authorized or to be authorized (the Common Stock and such other stock being hereinafter collectively, the “Junior Stock”), out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, an amount equal to two (2) times the Series B Stated Value per share of Series B Preferred Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date of payment thereof. Upon the payment in full
of all amounts due to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock (on an as converted basis), the Common Stock and any other class of Junior Stock shall collectively receive all remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution. If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full of the amounts payable as aforesaid to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation Event, then
all such assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the exclusion of the Holders of Junior Stock ratably among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. “Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, (ii) the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of any class of stock or the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations unless (a) the Holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock receive securities of the surviving corporation having substantially similar rights as the Series B Preferred Stock and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction are holders of at least a majority of the voting securities of the successor corporation immediately thereafter, unless the Holders of a Majority in Interest [as defined in Section 4(E)] of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock elect otherwise or (b) the sale, license or lease of all or
substantially all, or any material part of, the Corporation’s assets, unless the Holders of a Majority in Interest elect otherwise.
D. Conversion into Common Stock. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights and obligations:
(a) Subject to the further provisions of this paragraph D(a) each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time commencing after the issuance to the Holder Series B Preferred Stock, to convert such shares, accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series
B Preferred Stock (whether or not declared) and any other sum owed by the Corporation arising from the Series B Preferred Stock or pursuant to the Subscription Agreement entered into by the Corporation and the Holder or Holder’s predecessor in connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock (each a “Subscription Agreement”) (collectively “Obligation Amount”) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation determined in accordance with the applicable
“Conversion Price” provided in paragraph D(b) below (the “Conversion Price”). All issued or accrued but unpaid dividends may be converted at the election of the Holder simultaneously with the conversion of principal amount of Series B Stated Value, as the case may be, being converted.
(b) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Obligation Amount shall equal (i) the sum of (A) the Series B Stated Value per share being converted, and (B) at the Holder’s election, accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares, divided
by (ii) the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $0.10, subject to adjustment only as described herein.
93
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION (SERIES B)
(continued)
(c) Holder will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock, or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit
A to this Certificate of Designation) to the Corporation via confirmed telecopier transmission. The Holder will not be required to surrender the Series B Preferred Stock certificate until in each case the Series B Preferred Stock has been fully converted. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion
Date. The Corporation will itself or cause the Corporation’s transfer agent to transmit the Corporation’s Common Stock certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Holder via express courier for receipt by such Holder within five (5) business days after receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the event the Common Stock is electronically transferable, then delivery
of the Common Stock must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Holder. A Series B Preferred Stock certificate representing the balance of the Series B Preferred Stock not so converted will be provided by the Corporation to the Holder if requested by Holder, provided the Holder has delivered the original Series B Preferred Stock certificate to the Corporation. To the extent that a Holder elects not to surrender Series B Preferred
Stock for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the Corporation against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount of the Series B Stated Value then owned by the Holder.
In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth in paragraph D(a) the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion. The person
or entity entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall, on the date such conversion privilege is deemed to have been exercised and thereafter, be treated for all purposes as the recordholder of such Common Stock and shall on the same date cease to be treated for any purpose as the record Holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted.
Upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock no adjustment or payment shall be made with respect to such converted shares on account of any dividend on the Common Stock, except that the Holder of such converted shares shall be entitled to be paid any dividends declared on shares of Common Stock after conversion thereof.
The Corporation shall not be required, in connection with any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, and payment of dividends on Series B Preferred Stock to issue a fraction of a share of its Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock and shall instead deliver a stock certificate representing the next higher whole number.
The Corporation and Holder may not convert that amount of the Obligation Amount on a Conversion Date in amounts that would result in the Holder having a beneficial ownership of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on such Conversion
Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Obligation Amount with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on such Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. For the purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to successive exercises which would result in the aggregate issuance of more than 4.99%. The Holder may allocate which of the equity of the Corporation deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%. The Holder may waive the conversion
limitation described in this Section in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%.
(d) The Conversion Price determined pursuant to Paragraph D(b) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
94
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION (SERIES B)
(continued)
(i) In case the Corporation shall at any time (A) declare any dividend or distribution on its Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation other than the Series B Preferred Stock, (B) split or subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares or other securities of the Corporation, then in each such event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately so that the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares or other securities of the Corporation which such Holders would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such shares
of Series B Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event (or any record date with respect thereto). Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment made to the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph D(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event.
(ii) For so long as Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, other than in the case of an “Excepted Issuance” (as defined in Section 11(a) of the Subscription Agreement), if the Corporation issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, for a consideration at a price per share, or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share less than the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately in effect prior to such sale or issuance, then immediately prior to such sale or issuance the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be reduced to such other lower price. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security carrying the
right to convert such security directly or indirectly into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or
for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. The reduction of the Conversion Price described in this paragraph is in addition to other rights of the Holder described in this Certificate of Designation and the Subscription Agreement.
(e) (1) In case of any merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) then unless the right to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have terminated as part of such merger, lawful provision shall be made so that Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to convert each share of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property receivable upon such merger
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation or merger. Such provision shall also provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in sub-paragraph (d) of this paragraph D. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph D(e) shall similarly apply to successive mergers.
(i) In case of any sale or conveyance to another person or entity of the property of the Corporation as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, in connection with which shares or other securities or cash or other property shall be issuable, distributable, payable,
or deliverable for outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, unless the right to convert such shares shall have terminated, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to convert each share of the Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property that shall be issuable, distributable, payable, or deliverable upon such sale or conveyance with respect to each share of Common Stock immediately prior

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION (SERIES B)
(continued)
(f) Whenever the number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock is required to be adjusted as provided in this paragraph D(f), the Corporation shall forthwith compute the adjusted number of shares to be so issued and prepare a certificate
setting forth such adjusted conversion amount and the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed with the Transfer Agent for the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock; and the Corporation shall give notice in the manner described in the Subscription Agreement to each Holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock of such adjusted conversion price not later than the first business day after the event, giving rise to the adjustment.
(g) In case at any time the Corporation shall propose:
(i) to pay any dividend or distribution payable in shares upon its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than cash dividends) to the Holders of its Common Stock; or
(ii) to offer for subscription to the Holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of any class or any other rights; or
(iii) any capital reorganization or reclassification of its shares or the merger of the Corporation with another corporation (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); or
(iv) the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;
then, and in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall cause at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of the date on which (A) the books of the Corporation shall close or a record be taken for such stock dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or (B) such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be, to be mailed to the Holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(h) For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any Obligation Amount shall remain outstanding and the Holders thereof shall have the right to convert the same in accordance with provisions of this paragraph D(h), the Corporation shall at all times, reserve
from the authorized and unissued shares of its Common Stock 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be necessary to allow the conversion of the entire Obligation Amount.
(i) The term “Common Stock” as used in this Certificate of Designation shall mean the no par value Common Stock of the Corporation as such stock is constituted at the date of issuance thereof or as it may from time to time be changed, or shares of stock of
any class or other securities and/or property into which the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall at any time become convertible pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph D(i).
(j) The Corporation shall pay the amount of any and all issue taxes (but not income taxes) which may be imposed in respect of any issue or delivery of stock upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, but all transfer taxes and income taxes that may
be payable in respect of any change of ownership of Series B Preferred Stock or any rights represented thereby or of stock receivable upon conversion thereof shall be paid by the person or persons surrendering such stock for conversion.
(k) In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation
of law, or for any other reason unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of said shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation or at the Corporation’s request or with the Corporation’s assistance and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder equal to 120% of the Obligation Amount sought
to be converted, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

(l) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section D(c) by the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date the Holder or a broker on behalf of the Holder
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Common Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) within five (5) business days after written notice from the Holder, the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions,
if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.
(m) The Corporation understands that a delay in the delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in the form required pursuant to this Certificate of Designation and the applicable Subscription Agreement after the Delivery Date could result in
economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Corporation agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for such late issuance of Common Stock upon Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Obligation Amount being converted of the corresponding Common stock which is not timely delivered. The Corporation shall pay any payments incurred under this section
in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Corporation fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Common Stock by the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Corporation whereupon the Corporation and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation is given to the Corporation.

(ii) reducing the amount payable to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or change the relative

board of directors consisting of seven directors, and as of the Closing Date, there will be one vacancy on the Board of Directors available for the director to be designated by a Majority in Interest pursuant to this paragraph; provided, however, it is understood that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock need not exercise their rights to nominate a Series B Director pursuant to this Section and, in the absence of such nomination, no vacancy with respect to the Series B Director shall be deemed to exist.

Restatement of Comparative Figures:
The 2008 comparative U.S. GAAP amounts have been restated for the amount of Trinity Sands Project (Texas), cost write-downs and clerical errors that were in the previously reported U.S. GAAP consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and accumulated deficit from exploration stage.
I) The clerical errors for U.S. GAAP purposes were as follows:
i) The transfer to share capital of the recorded amount of warrants exercised in 2008 was shown as a $5,033,319 increase in the dollar amount of warrants rather than as a $5,033,319 reduction of the dollar amount of warrants. To correct this error in the restated U.S.
GAAP financial statements, the dollar amount warrants has been reduced by $10,066,638 and the dollar amount of share capital has been increased by an equivalent amount.
ii) A portion of a 2007 entry to record the acquisition of certain properties was not reflected in the 2008 U.S. GAAP financial statements. To correct this, oil and gas assets have been increased by $11,515,824 and share capital has been reduced by $8,599,442.
II) Under Canadian GAAP, the Texas properties were written down to $300,000 in 2008. These properties should also have been recorded at $300,000 for U.S. GAAP purposes. As a result, oil and gas assets have been reduced by $21,691,160 and accumulated deficit from exploration
stage has been increased by an equivalent amount.

On any such partial exercise provided the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder
hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
1.4. Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:

any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.
1.6. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that, provided the full purchase price listed in the Subscription Form is received as specified in Section 1.2, the shares of Common
Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”),

lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in
economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $100 per business day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section

Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise
of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
1.7. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant, after the Warrant
Share Delivery Date and the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having
a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares to have been received upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest.

Issue Date, by delivery of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, payment upon exercise may be made in the manner described in Section 2(b) below only with respect to Warrant Shares not included for unrestricted public resale in an effective Registration Statement on the date notice of exercise is given by the Holder.
(b) If the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below)
of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by delivery of a properly endorsed Subscription Form delivered to the Company by any means described in Section 13, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y (A-B)
A
Where |
X= |
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder |
|
Y= |
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation) |
|
A= |
Fair Market Value |
|
B= |
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
3. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.

FORM OF SERIES B WARRANT
(continued)
3.1. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, or spin-off) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party
to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 0000 Xxx) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or 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 exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate Consideration") receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act, or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to
the Black-Scholes Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of
any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in
such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and insuring that this
Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
3.2. Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue
in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not
such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated
by Section 3.2.

FORM OF SERIES B WARRANT
(continued)
3.3 Share Issuance. Until the Expiration Date, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete
exercise of this Warrant for a consideration less than the Purchase Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to such other lower price for then outstanding Warrants. For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common
Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance or at any time this Warrant is outstanding and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance. Common
Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. Upon any reduction of the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.3) be issuable on such exercise
by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.3) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common
Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number
of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its
expense will promptly (and in any event not later than three days after the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment) cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the
Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy
of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

6. Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise
of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant. This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof, upon written request, to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.
7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a
"Transferor"). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the
transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft
or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in the Subscription Agreement. The
terms of the Subscription Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
10. Maximum Exercise. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. For the purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%. The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in excess of
9.99%. The Holder may decide whether to convert a Convertible Note or exercise this Warrant to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99% ownership position as described above, but not in excess of 9.99%.
11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities)
on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.

14. Law Governing This Warrant. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. 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 New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of New York.

non conveniens. The Company and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to
