Series A Financing
 
On January 31, 2019 (the “ Closing Date ”), Petro River Oil Corp. (the “ Company ”) sold and issued an aggregate of 178,101 units (“ Units ”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,562,014.95, to certain accredited investors (the “ New Investors ”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“ SPA ”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and to certain debtholders (the “ Debt Holders ”) pursuant to Debt Conversion Agreements (the “ Debt Conversion Agreements ”), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3 (the “ Offering ”). The Units sold and issued in the Offering consisted of an aggregate of (i) 178,101 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“ Series A Preferred ”) (the “ Shares ”), convertible into 8,905,037 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), and (ii) five-year warrants (“ Warrants ”) to purchase 8,905,307 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, a form of which Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement, the Debt Holders, consisting of Scot Cohen, the Company’s executive Chairman, and Fortis Oil & Gas, agreed to convert all outstanding debt owed to the Debt Holders, amounting to $300,000 and $321,836, respectively, into Units issued pursuant to the SPA.
 
The Offering resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.0 (the “ Net Proceeds ”), which Net Proceeds do not include the amount of debt converted into Units by the Debt Holders. The Company currently intends to use the Net Proceeds to fund the drilling of ten additional development and exploration wells in its Osage County concession (the “ New Drilling Program ”), and a large exploration venture in the North Sea, United Kingdom with Horizon Energy Partners, LLC.
 
In connection with the Offering, on January 31, 2019 Bandolier Energy, LLC (“ Bandolier ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Assignment of Net Profit Interest agreements, (the “ Assignment Agreements ”) with each of the New Investors and Debt Holders, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, pursuant to which (i) Bandolier assigned and transferred to the New Investors and Debt Holders a 75% interest in profits, if any, derived from the ten new wells the Company intends to drill pursuant to the New Drilling Program, payments of which shall be made to the New Investors and Debt Holders, pro rata, on a quarterly basis following the full completion of the New Drilling Program, and (ii) in the event the Company elects to drill additional wells on its Osage County concession in the next two years, the New Investors and Debt Holders shall have the right to participate in and fund the drilling and production of the next ten wells on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment Agreements.
 
Senior Secured Debt Exchange
 
On January 31, 2019, the Company entered agreements (the “ Secured Debt Conversion Agreements ”) with Petro Exploration Funding, LLC and Petro Exploration Funding II, LLC (together, the “ Secured Debt Holders ”), pursuant to which they agreed to convert approximately $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of outstanding senior secured debt (including accrued and unpaid interest) (the “ Senior Secured Debt ”) owed under the terms of their respective Senior Secured Promissory Notes into 116,374 and 140,130 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Preferred, respectively (the “ Senior Secured Debt Exchange ”). As a result of the Senior Secured Debt Exchange, all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations arising under the respective Senior Secured Promissory Notes were cancelled and deemed satisfied in full. Copies of the Senior Secured Debt Conversion Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6.
 
As additional consideration for the conversion of the Senior Secured Debt, the Company agreed to (i) reduce the exercise price of warrants issued to the Secured Debt Holders on June 15, 2017 and November 6, 2017 from $2.38 and $2.00, respectively, to $0.50 per share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants, and (ii) to extend the expiration date of such warrants to five years from the Closing Date.
 
 
 
 
 
The issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred and Warrants issued as a part of the Units in the Offering, as well as the shares of Series A Preferred issue in connection with the Senior Secured Debt Exchange, were each exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 701 and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as provided in Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares of Series A Preferred, Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On January 31, 2019, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series A COD ”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware – Division of Corporations, designating 500,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, as Series A Preferred, each share with a stated value of $20.00 per share (the “ Stated Value ”). Shares of Series A Preferred  are not entitled to dividends unless the Company elects to pay dividends to holders of the Common Stock.  Shares of Series A Preferred rank senior to the Company’s Common Stock and Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
Holders of Series A Preferred will have the right to vote, subject to a 9.999% voting limitation (which shall not apply to Mr. Cohen), on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders for their action or consideration; provided, however , that so long as share of Series A Preferred remain outstanding, the Company may not, without first obtaining the affirmative consent of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred outstanding, voting as a separate class, take the following actions: (i) alter or change adversely the power, preferences and rights provided to the holders of the Series A Preferred under the Series A COD, (ii) authorize or create a class of stock that is senior to the Series A Preferred, (iii) amend its Certificate of Incorporation so as to adversely affect any rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred, (iv) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred, or (v) enter into any agreements with respect to the foregoing.
 
Each share of Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“ Conversion Shares ”) equal to the Stated Value, divided by $0.40 per share (the “ Conversion Price ”), which conversion rate is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series A COD; provided, however , that holders of the Series A Preferred may not convert their shares of Series A Preferred in the even that such conversion would result in such holder’s ownership exceeding 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (the “ Ownership Limitation ”), which Ownership Limitation may be increased up to 9.999% at the sole election of the holder (the “ Maximum Percentage ”); provided, however , that the Ownership Limitation and Maximum Percentage shall not apply to Mr. Cohen. Holders of Series A Preferred may elect to convert shares of Series C Preferred into Conversion Shares at any time.
 
Holders of the Series A Preferred may also require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred in the event of the occurrence of (i) a Triggering Event, as such term is defined in the Series A COD, at a price equal to the greater of (a) 115% of the Stated Value plus all accrued by unpaid dividends (the “ Event Equity Value ”) or (b) the Event Equity Value of the shares of Common Stock issuable as Conversion Shares; or (ii) a Change of Control, as such term is defined in the Series A COD, at a price equal to the greater of (a) the Event Equity Value or (b) the product of the Conversion Price and the VWAP of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Change of Control. In addition, in the event of a Bankruptcy Event, as such term is defined in the Series A COD, the Company shall automatically be required to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and all such underling shares at price equal to the Event Equity Value.
 
The foregoing description of the Series A Preferred is qualified, in its entirety, by the full text of the Series C COD, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

_______________
 
Petro River Oil Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) does hereby certify that, in accordance with Sections 141(f) and 151 of the DGCL, the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of January 7, 2019:
 
RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority expressly vesting in it by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, hereby authorizes the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Corporation and hereby fixes the designation, number of shares, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof (in addition to any provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation which are applicable to the Preferred Stock of all classes and series) as follows:
 
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
1.   Designation, Amount and Par Value . The series of preferred stock shall be designated as the Corporation’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”), and the number of shares so designated shall be 500,000. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.00001 per share, and a stated value equal to $20.00 (the “ Stated Value ”).
 
2.   Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Certificate of Designations, (a) the terms set forth in Exhibit A hereto have the meanings indicated therein, and (b) the following terms have the meanings indicated:
 
Conversion Price ” means the Fixed Conversion Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Certificate of Designations.
 
 “ Fixed Conversion Price ” means $0.40.
 
Holder ” means any holder of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
 “ Original Issue Date ” means the date of the first issuance of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock regardless of the number of transfers of any particular shares of Series A Preferred Stock and regardless of the number of certificates that may be issued to evidence such Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Purchase Agreement ” means the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2019, among the Corporation and the original purchasers of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
 
 
-1-
 
 
 
3.   Dividends . Unless the Company elects to pay dividends to the holders of Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends.
 
4.   Registration of Series A Preferred Stock . The Corporation shall register shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon records to be maintained by the Corporation for that purpose (the “ Series A Preferred Stock Register ”), in the name of the record Holders thereof from time to time. The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion hereof or any distribution to such Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
5.   Registration of Transfers . The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Series A Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender of certificates evidencing such Shares to the Corporation at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
 
6.   Liquidation .
 
(a)   In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (a “ Liquidation Event ”), the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share in cash equal to the Stated Value for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or other similar transactions with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock), plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such event (the “ Series A Stock Liquidation Preference ”). If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full Series A Stock Liquidation Preference, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate Series A Stock Liquidation Preference that would otherwise be payable to each of such Holders. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, be required as a Liquidation Event. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of less than substantially all of its assets shall, for the purposes of this Certificate of Designations, be deemed to be a Liquidation Event.
 
(b)   In the event of a Liquidation Event, following completion of the distributions required by the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 6, if assets or surplus funds remain in the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall share ratably in all remaining assets of the Corporation, based on the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
 
(c)   The Corporation shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event to each record Holder not less than 45 days prior to the payment date or effective date thereof, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holders.

7.   Conversion .
 
(a)   Conversion at Option of Holder . At the option of any Holder, any Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into Common Stock based on the Conversion Price then in effect for such Series A Preferred Stock. A Holder may convert Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after the Original Issue Date, by delivering to the Corporation a Conversion Notice, in the form attached hereto, appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date any such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Corporation (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is a “ Conversion Date .”
 
8.   Mechanics of Conversion .
 
(a)   The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock hereunder shall equal (i) the Stated Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, plus (ii) the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock through the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.
 
(b)   Upon conversion of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Underlying Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and such Underlying Shares are not then freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. The Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Underlying Shares hereunder electronically through the DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, and shall issue such Underlying Shares in the same manner as dividend payment shares are issued pursuant to Section 3(f) above.
 
(c)   A Holder shall not be required to deliver the original certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted in order to effect a conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock. Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) and issuance of a new certificate evidencing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon surrender of a certificate following one or more partial conversions, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new certificate representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
(d)   The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by any Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to any Holder in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.
 
9.   [Reserved] .
 
 
 
-3-
 
 
 
10.   Triggering Events .
 
(a)   At any time or times following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the option to elect, by notice to the Corporation (an “ Event Notice ”), to require the Corporation to repurchase all or any portion of (i) the Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder, at a price per share equal to the greater of (A) 115% of the Stated Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of payment (the “ Event Equity Value ”), or (B) the Event Equity Value of the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock (including such accrued but unpaid dividends thereon), and (ii) any Underlying Shares issued to such Holder upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to the Event Equity Value of such Underlying Shares. The aggregate amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to as the “ Event Price .” The Corporation shall pay the aggregate Event Price to each Holder no later than the third Trading Day following the date of delivery of the Event Notice, and upon receipt thereof such Holder shall deliver original certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares so repurchased to the Corporation (to the extent such certificates have been delivered to the Holder).
 
(b)   Upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event, the Corporation shall immediately be obligated, without any further action by any Holder, to repurchase all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all such Underlying Shares at the Event Price pursuant to the preceding paragraph as if each Holder had delivered an Event Notice immediately prior to the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event.
 
11.   Voting Rights . Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by applicable law, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, including, without limitation, the election of directors. For such purposes, each Holder shall be entitled to a number of votes in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by it equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter, or if no record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any relevant agreement or as required by applicable law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote or consent of stockholders; provided that so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation (whether by merger, reorganization, consolidation or otherwise), (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event or Change of Control senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock; provided , however , that the Corporation shall be permitted to issue without the consent of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock any class of preferred stock ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock if the conversion price of such class of preferred stock, directly or indirectly to Common Stock, is greater than the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate or articles of incorporation or other charter documents so as to affect adversely any rights of the Holders (whether by merger, reorganization, consolidation or otherwise), (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.
 
 
-4-
 
 
 
12.   Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and for Underlying Shares issued on conversion of (or otherwise in respect of) the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation; provided , however , that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring the Series A Preferred Stock or receiving Underlying Shares in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
13.   Replacement Certificates . If any certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for such certificate, a new certificate, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Corporation may prescribe.
 
14.   Reservation of Underlying Shares . The Corporation covenants that it shall at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (taking into account the adjustments of Section 15), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The Corporation covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
 
15.   Certain Adjustments . The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 15.
 
(a)   Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
 
-5-
 
 
 
(b)   Pro Rata Distributions . If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an “ Appraiser ”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, at the request of any Holder delivered before the 90th day after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Corporation will deliver to such Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Underlying Shares for which such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.
 
(c)   Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation 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 (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 15(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then upon any subsequent conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion 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 Corporation shall apportion the Conversion 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 each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock 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 paragraph (c) and insuring that the Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(d)   Calculations . All calculations under this Section 15 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
(e)   Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 15 , the Corporation at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Corporation will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to each Holder and to the Corporation’s Transfer Agent.
 
(f)   Notice of Corporate Events . If the Corporation (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Corporation will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that each Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert its Series A Preferred Stock prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
16.   Change of Control .
 
(a)   Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another Person or other transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as " Organic Change ." As long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Corporation is not a surviving entity, the Corporation will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the " Acquiring Entity ") a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) to deliver to each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for such shares, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Series A Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, having a stated value and liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value and the Series A Stock Liquidation Preference held by such Holder) and reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) to insure that each of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such Holder's Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such Holder's Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series A Preferred Stock).

(b)   Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control . In addition to the rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock under Section 16(a), upon a Change of Control of the Corporation each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Corporation to redeem all or a portion of such Holder's Series A Preferred Stock at a price per Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (A) 115% of the Stated Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of payment, and (B) the product of (x) the Conversion Price in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption Upon Change of Control (as defined below) and (y) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Change of Control (the " Change of Control Redemption Price "). No sooner than 60 days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (a "Notice of Change of Control ") to each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock. At any time during the period beginning after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control (or, in the event a Notice of Change of Control is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control, at any time on or after the date which is ten (10) days prior to a Change of Control) and ending on the date of such Change of Control, any Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Corporation to redeem all or a portion of the Holder's Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (a " Notice of Redemption Upon Change of Control ") to the Corporation, which Notice of Redemption Upon Change of Control shall indicate (i) the number of Series A Preferred Stock that such Holder is submitting for redemption, and (ii) the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price, as calculated pursuant to this Section 16(b). Upon the Corporation's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption Upon Change of Control from any Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days following such receipt, notify each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock by facsimile of the Corporation's receipt of such Notice(s) of Redemption Upon Change of Control. The Corporation shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control. Payments provided for in this Section 16(b) shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Change of Control.
 
17.   Limitation on Conversion .
 
(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by any Holder upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, does not exceed 4.999% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Underlying Shares requested in such Conversion Notice is permitted under this paragraph. By written notice to the Corporation, any Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and not to any other Holder.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Transaction Documents at an effective purchase price less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date equals 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “ Issuable Maximum ”), unless the Company obtains shareholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of such Trading Market. If, at the time any Holder requests a conversion of any of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Actual Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at an effective purchase price in excess of the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not previously obtained the required shareholder approval), then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock not exceeding such Holder’s pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum (based on such Holder’s share (vis-à-vis other Holders) of the aggregate purchase price paid under the Purchase Agreement and taking into account any Series A Preferred Stock previously issued to such Holder). For the purposes hereof, “ Actual Minimum ” shall mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Transaction Documents, including any Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise and/or conversion in full of all warrants issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents and shares of Series A Preferred Stock, without giving effect to any limits on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be owned by a Holder at any one time.
 
18.   Fractional Shares . The Corporation shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Underlying Shares on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the number of Underlying Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
19.   Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Conversion Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Corporation, to 55 5 th Avenue, Suite 1702, New York, New York 10003, attention Scot Cohen, or (ii) if to a Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Corporation’s stockholder records or such other address or facsimile number as such Holder may provide to the Corporation in accordance with this Section.
 
20.   Miscellaneous .
 
(a)     The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designations and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
(b)   No provision of this Certificate of Designations may be amended, except in a written instrument signed by the Company and Holders of at least 51% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
 
(c)   Any of the rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein, including any Equity Conditions, Triggering Events or any other similar conditions for the Holders’ benefit, may be waived by the affirmative vote of Holders of at least 51% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Warrant No. ____  Dated: January 31, 2019
 
PETRO RIVER OIL CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, ___________ or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of __________ shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each such share, a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares, the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 , the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “ Warrant ”) is one of a series of similar warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2019, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the “ Purchase Agreement ”). All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants .”
 
1.   Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
2.   Registration of Warrant . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
3.   Registration of Transfers . The Company shall register the assignment and transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4.   Exercise and Duration of Warrants .
 
(a)   This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
 
(b)   A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any.
 
5.   Delivery of Warrant Shares .
 
(a)   Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
(b)   This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
(c)   The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon an exercise in accordance with Section 4(b) above are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
 
-2-
 
 
 
6.   Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
7.   Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
 
8.   Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9 ). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
9.   Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .
 
(a)   Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
 
-3-
 
 
 
(b)   Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examine the financial statements of the Company (an “ Appraiser ”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90 th day after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property.
 
(c)   Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) 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 (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise 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. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(x)            this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c) ,
 
 
 
-4-
 
 
(y)            in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company's obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(z)            if registration or qualification is required under the Securities Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance.
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, 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 purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. 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 paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a Change of Control, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90 th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase this Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
(d)   Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), or (b) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
(e)   Calculations . All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
(f)   Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder within 10 Trading Days of the occurrence of such adjustment.

10.   Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds.
 
11.   Limitation on Exercise .

For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an Exercise Notice hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder to the Company that the Holder has evaluated the limitations set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise Notice is permitted under this paragraph. The Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation. By written notice to the Company, the Holder shall have the right (x) at any time and from time to time to reduce its Maximum Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company in the event and only to the extent that Section 16 of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder (or any successor statute or rules) is changed to reduce the beneficial ownership percentage threshold thereunder to a percentage less than 9.999% and (y) at any time and from time to time to waive the provisions of this Section insofar as they relate to the Threshold Percentage or to increase or decrease its Threshold Percentage (but not in excess of the Maximum Percentage) unless the Holder shall have, by written instrument delivered to the Company, irrevocably waived its rights to so increase or decrease its Threshold Percentage, but (i) any such waiver, increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such written notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver, increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11 shall not apply to Warrants issued to Scot Cohen.

  Exhibit 10.4  
 
Assignment of Net Profit Interest Agreement
 
This Assignment of Net Profit Interest Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered this 31st day of January, 2019 by and between the individuals and entities (collectively, “Investors”) listed on the signature page hereto, and Bandolier Energy, LLC (“Bandolier”), 4582 Kingwood Drive, Suite E, Kingwood, TX 77345.
 
WHEREAS, Investors, Bandolier and Petro River Oil Corp (“Petro River”) have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January 9, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”);
 
WHEREAS, Bandolier owns oil & gas leases and leasehold (“Bandolier Leasehold”) in Osage County, Oklahoma; and
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Petro River and Bandolier wish to use the Investors’ funds to drill ten (10) new oil & gas wells (“Ten Wells”) on the Bandolier Leasehold as identified on Exhibit B hereto.
 
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1)
Identity and Location of the Ten Wells : Bandolier currently owns an undivided 75% working interest in and to 82,240 net mineral acres of oil & gas leases, leasehold and/or concession options in Osage County, Oklahoma. Bandolier has drilled fifteen oil & gas wells on the Bandolier Leasehold, and currently is producing from twelve of these fifteen wells. The proposed Ten Wells will be drilled in close proximity to Bandolier’s existing wells and are listed on Exhibit “B”, attached hereto and made a part hereof. As each of the Ten Wells are drilled, Bandolier will evaluate its results before electing to complete that well, and will elect to complete or plug said well in its sole discretion. Bandolier also will monitor and evaluate the production results of each completed well, and does reserve the right to change or modify the location of some or all of the remaining Ten Wells if early drilling and/or completion results so warrant.
 
2)
Net Profit Interest.
 
a.
Bandolier hereby agrees to assign and transfer to the Investors a 75% Net Profit Interest (as defined below) in and to the Ten Wells. Payments of the Net Profit Interest shall be made to the Investors, pro rata, on a quarterly basis following the full completion of the Ten Well Program.
 
b.
 Bandolier owns an undivided 75% working interest in and to the leasehold on which the Ten Wells will be drilled. Bandolier will contribute the net proceeds that accrue to 75% of said 75% working interest to the Net Profit Interest. 25% of Bandolier’s working interest in the Ten Wells will not be attached or burdened by the Net Profit Interest.
 
 
 
-1-
 
 
 
This means that Bandolier will distribute to the Investors 75% of the proceeds that Bandolier receives to its leasehold interest (net of royalties, overriding royalties and production taxes) from the sale of oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances, if any, which may be produced, saved sold and marketed from the Ten Wells. Bandolier will deduct therefrom 75% of the Lease Operating Expenses charged to Bandolier’s leasehold working interest in the Ten Wells plus any administrative and overhead expenses reasonably allocated to the Ten Wells. Such net payment to the Investors is referred to as the “Net Profit Interest.”
 
c.
For all purposes under this Agreement, “Lease Operating Expenses” shall be defined to include all costs incurred to run, produce, maintain, and repair a well and its equipment and leasehold from and after its first day of production. These expenses shall include but not be limited to the cost of all labor, supplies, equipment and services required to keep the well producing, fuel and or electricity, administrative and allocated overhead expenses, road and location maintenance, and ultimately well plugging and site restoration.
d.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Net Profit Interest payable to any Investor shall be proportionately reduced by any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock by such Investor.
 
 
3)
Record Title : Bandolier will continue to hold record title as to its undivided 75% working interest in and to the Ten Wells.
 
4)
Option to Participate in the Subsequent Drilling Program : If Bandolier elects to drill more wells on the Bandolier Leasehold after it completes the drilling of the Ten Wells, within 2 years of the date hereof, each of the Investors will have the right to participate in and fund the drilling and production of the next ten wells drilled (the “Subsequent Ten Well Program”) on the same terms and conditions and at the same percentage of Net Profits ownership set forth in the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement for the Ten Wells. As such, Investors in the Subsequent Ten Well Program will pay 100% of Bandolier’s share of the cost to drill and complete said wells in order to earn a Net Profit Interest based upon 75% of Bandolier’s working interest therein.
 
Investors will need to exercise its right to participate in the Subsequent Ten Well Program within 30 days of receipt of written notice by Bandolier. If only some of the Investors wish to participate in said subsequent drilling program, the amount not funded by the non-interested investor(s) will be offered to those investors who do wish to fund and participate in the subsequent drilling program, pro rata.
 
5)
Notices . Notices hereunder shall be given in writing and delivered in person, via email, or by Western Union or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses of the parties as set forth in Exhibit "A".
 
6)
Counterparts . This agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when properly executed, shall be deemed an original.
 
 
 
-2-
 
 
 
7)
Investment Covenant . Each Investor: (i) acknowledges that the interest purchased hereunder is being sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor under similar provisions of state law; (ii) represents and warrants to Bandolier and the other investors that it is acquiring such interest without a view to the distribution thereof; and (iii) agrees not to transfer or attempt to transfer such interest without registration under that act and any applicable state securities laws, unless exemptions form such registration requirements are available. The Investors recognize that the oil and gas business is highly speculative and that Bandolier makes no guarantee or representation to any Investor as to the possibility or the probability of gain or against loss from the conduct of the Ten Wells. Bandolier has not made nor does it herewith make any representation as to title to the leases subject to this Agreement. Bandolier shall exercise diligence and prudence in approving title to the leasehold as allowed by this Agreement, but shall assume no liability for errors it may make in connection therewith, excluding those errors caused by Bandolier's lack of diligence or prudence. The Investors understand and agree that their liabilities hereunder may be joint and several; provided, however, that the Investors herewith agree to cross-indemnify and mutually hold harmless each other with respect to any liability or loss an Investor may suffer hereunder in excess of an Investor's proportionate share thereof, it being the intent that liabilities of the venture shall be borne by the Investors based on their respective shares of interest as shown in Columns III of Exhibit "A". The references herein to securities laws shall not be deemed an admission by any party that an interest in Net Profit Interest or in the Agreement constitute a security. This agreement supersedes all prior representations by Bandolier to the Investors. The rights of the Investors in and to the leases subject to the Agreement are specifically subject to the terms of the leases, the Industry Agreement and all attachments thereto.
 
8)
Assignability . An Investor may not assign nor sub-divide its Net Profit Interest without the advance written consent of Bandolier, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Assignment of Net Profit Interest Agreement is executed the date indicated below by the parties hereto.

Management and Existing Shareholders Increase Stake in Petro River
Company Restructures Existing Senior Debt and Commences New Drilling Program
 
New York, NY February 1, 2019 Petro River Oil Corp. ( PTRC ) ("Petro River" or the "Company") today announced the closing of (i) a restructuring of the Company’s senior debt, and (ii) a financing to fund the drilling of ten additional development and exploration wells in Osage County, Oklahoma (the “New Drilling Program”), and a large exploration venture in the North Sea, UK with Horizon Energy Partners, LLC (“Horizon Energy”). The financing was led by Executive Chairman Scot Cohen’s $1.0 million investment, as well as existing shareholders and debt holders.
 
The terms of the restructuring provide for the conversion of all principal and accrued interest due holders under outstanding senior debt and other debt obligations, totaling approximately $5.8 million , into shares of newly created Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company sold units consisting of Series A Preferred Stock, warrants to purchase common stock and a net profit interest in the New Drilling Program, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of approximate ly $3. 0   m illion.
 
The Company will use the net proceeds from the financing, after payment of certain financing expenses, to  fund the New Drilling Program and working capital.
 
Additional information regarding the restructuring and financing will be set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that it intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before February 6, 2019.
 
The Company intends to further align its development interests with Horizon Energy during 2019, in which the Company currently has a 14.52% ownership interest. Horizon Energy recently had multiple discoveries in California and is currently drilling additional wells.  
 
“We are very excited about our relationship with Horizon Energy and the discoveries they have made in California last year,” said Executive Chairman Scot Cohen. “Execution of our new ten well program in Osage County, Oklahoma will continue to keep the Company cash flow positive in 2019 and open up the opportunity to participate in other projects outside of Osage County.”
 
The securities issued in connection with the financing have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
