Each Business Insurance Policy (i) is legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect as of the Closing and (ii) will continue to be legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect on identical terms following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Company is not in default with respect to its obligations under any insurance policy, nor has the Company been denied insurance coverage. Company has not received any notice of cancellation or termination with respect to any Business Insurance Policy, and to Company’s knowledge, no event or condition exists or has occurred that could result in cancellation of any Business Insurance Policy prior to its scheduled expiration date. To Company’s knowledge, Company has duly and timely made all claims that it has been entitled to make under each Business Insurance Policy. Company has not received any notice from or on behalf of any insurance carrier issuing any Business Insurance Policy that insurance rates therefor will hereafter be substantially increased (except to the extent insurance rates may be increased for all similarly situated risks) or that there will hereafter be a cancellation or an increase in a deductible (or an increase in premiums to maintain an existing deductible) or nonrenewal of any Business Insurance Policy. The Business Insurance Policies are sufficient in all material respects for compliance by Company with all requirements of law.

(b) Business Insurance and Liability Policies. Since January 1, 2013, all general liability policies maintained by or for the benefit of Company relating to the operations of its business have been “occurrence” policies and not “claims made” policies (collectively, the “Liability Policies”). Schedule 2.11(b) indicates each Business Insurance Policy and each Liability Policy as to which (i) the coverage limit has been reached or (ii) the total incurred losses to date equal seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the coverage limit. All Business Insurance Policies and Liability Policies are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies. No Business Insurance Policy (nor any previous policy) or Liability Policy provides for or is subject to any currently enforceable retroactive rate or premium adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent Liability arising wholly or partially out of events arising prior to the Closing. There is no claim by Company pending under any Business Insurance Policy or Liability Policy as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies, and to Company’s knowledge, there is no basis for denial of any pending claim under any Business Insurance Policy or Liability Policy. None of the insurance carriers providing coverage under the Business Insurance Policies or Liability Policies has declared bankruptcy or provided notice of insolvency to Company or any Member. Company has not been refused any insurance with respect to any aspect of the operations of its business.

OPTION TO CONVERT OR PUT LOANS
of
BAKKEN RESOURCES, INC.

Void after _____ ___,20__

This OPTION is issued to EAGLE PRIVATE EQUITY, LLC, a New York limited liability company or its registered assigns (“Holder”) by BAKKEN RESOURCES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), on May 6, 2016 (the “Option Issue Date”).

1. Purchase Shares.

(a) Option to Convert. Holder may make certain loans to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Holder and the Company (the “Loan Agreement”). In the event that the Company draws upon the Facility (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as set forth in Exhibit A hereto) (the “Option Exercise Date”), Holder may elect to convert all principal amounts of loans made under the Facility into shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) in accordance with the Notice of Conversion set forth in Exhibit B hereto. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Option at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company such number of Shares necessary to convert such Loans into Shares, not to exceed one million (1,000,000) fully paid and nonassessable Shares. The number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Shares”) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 hereof. If exercised by Holder, this Option to Convert pursuant to this Section 1(a) shall be exercised only in whole, and not in part. Any option to convert loans under the Facility to Shares under this Section 1(a) shall be accompanied by delivery by Holder of a signed subscription agreement for Shares in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company containing customary provisions for the subscription of equity by an accredited investor.

(b) Put Option. In the event of a Triggering Event, Holder may put loans under the Facility to the Company, up to the amount remaining under the Facility. Any such loans that are put to the Company shall be subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the documented contemplated by the Loan Agreement. Loans that are part of the Facility that are put to the Company shall be subject to Holders rights under Section 1(a) hereof.

2. Exercise Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall initially be $1.00 per Share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 7 hereof (the “Exercise Price”).

3. Exercise Period. This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the Option Exercise Date and ending upon the termination of the Facility.

4. Method of Exercise. While this Option remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 3 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole and not in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

(a) With respect to any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the surrender of the Option, together with a duly executed copy of the form of Notice of Conversion attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, and if amounts remain under the Facility, the reissuance of an option to Holder in form and substance substantially similar to this Option for the amount remaining in the Facility;

(b) With respect to any exercise pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, notice to the Company of the exercise by Holder of such put option as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event not later than five (5) business days following the date of a Triggering Event; and

(c) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased (which payment shall be deemed to be made by Holder as a result of the requisite conversion of loans made under the Facility).

5. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase/conversion rights evidenced by this Option under Section 1(a), one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends, if applicable).

6. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option under Section 1(a), will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Option under Section 1(a) and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Option subdivide its economic ownership interests, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its economic ownership interests, or issue additional economic ownership interests as a dividend with respect to any economic ownership interests, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Option under Section 1(a) shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or equity dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per Share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Option under Section 1(a) (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the economic ownership interests of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization, or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Option to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Option under Section 1(a), the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

(c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Option under Section 1(a), or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of economic ownership interests or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Option under Section 1(a).

8. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Option, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

9. No Stockholder Rights. Prior to exercise of this Option under Section 1(a), the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of economic ownership interests with respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of meetings of holders of economic ownership interests, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. However, nothing in this Section 9 shall limit the right of the Holder to be provided the Notices required under this Option.

10. Transfers of Option. This Option and all rights hereunder are not transferable by the Holder to any other person or entity, without the prior written consent of the Company. The transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Option, properly endorsed, to the Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the holders one or more appropriate new options.

11. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Option shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Holder hereof and their respective successors and assigns.

12. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Option may be amended and the observance of any term of this Option may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

13. Assumption of Option. If at any time, while this Option, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction or series of related transactions resulting in the exchange of the outstanding economic ownership interests such that holders of economic ownership interests of the Company prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to any other person, or (iii) a Triggering Event (resulting in a successor entity), then, as a part of such acquisition and in addition to the rights of Holder under Section 1 hereof, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Option, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such acquisition, sale or transfer which a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Option would have been entitled to receive in such acquisition, sale or transfer if this Option had been exercised immediately before such acquisition, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 13; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the number of Shares the Holder is entitled to purchase) shall thereafter by applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares of Shares or other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

14. Notices. All notices required under this Option shall be deemed to have been given or made for all purposes (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon confirmation receipt that the communication was successfully sent to the applicable number if sent by facsimile; (iii) one day after being sent, when sent by professional overnight courier service, or (iv)five days after posting when sent by registered or certified mail. Notices to the Company shall be sent to the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder hereof in writing). Notices to the Holder shall be sent to the address of the Holder on the books of the Company (or at such other place as the Holder shall notify the Company in writing).

15. Attorneys’ Fees. If any action of law or equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Option, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

16. Captions. The section and subsection headings of this Option are inserted for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Option in construing or interpreting any provision hereof.

17. Governing Law. This Option shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements among New York residents made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, BAKKEN RESOURCES, INC., has caused this Option to be executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
