CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Due [__], 2017
| No: 2015 Series A Convertible Note – 001A | Issue Date: [__], 2015 |
| US$[Principal Amount] |
For value received, SKY PETROLEUM, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to [Holder] (Address) (the “Holder”), the principal sum of US$[_________], on [__], 2017 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), unless payable earlier under the terms set forth in Section 1.
This Note is subject to the following terms and conditions.
1. Maturity and Interest.
(a) This Note will automatically mature and be due and payable at 5:00 p.m. (CDT), on the Stated Maturity Date, [__], 2017.
(b) Interest shall accrue from [__], 2015 on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to Three percent (3%) per annum, payable at 5:00 p.m. (CDT), on the Stated Maturity Date, [__], 2017. Interest will be paid in cash or, at the option of the Company, in-kind in Common Stock (issuable at the Conversion Price, as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date.
(c) Default Interest shall increase to six percent (6%) per annum commencing immediately upon an Event of Default. Default Interest shall be paid in cash.
(d) The entire principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note may be prepaid in full at anytime by the Company without penalty or prepayment fees.
(e) The principal amount and Interest will be payable in lawful money of United States at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company.
2. Conversion.
(a) This Note shall be convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), at the conversion price of US$0.08 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”).
(b) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments from time to time:
| | (i) | If the Company at any time divides the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares (whether pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise), and conversely, if the outstanding shares of its Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such division or combination shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the reduction or increase in the value of each such common share. |
| | (ii) | If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Company’s Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, Holder shall have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Note and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets as would have been issued or delivered to Holder if Holder had exercised this Note and had received such shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase. |
(c) No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at such principal office, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note and the deliveries required pursuant to this Section 2 in connection with such conversion, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted including without limitation the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Holder shall convert this Note or any portion thereof, if as a result of such conversion the holder would then become a “beneficial owner” (as determined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 9.99% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. For greater certainty, the Note shall not be
-2-
convertible by the Holder to the extent that, if, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder of such securities, together with its affiliates, would in aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Company which is 9.99% or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Any Holder may waive this provision upon providing the Company 61 days written notice.
3. Event of Default. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” in respect of the Notes:
| | (a) | failure to pay principal and interest on any of the Notes when due; |
| | (b) | proceedings are commenced for the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, unless the Company in good faith actively and diligently contests such proceedings, decree, order or approval, resulting in a dismissal or stay thereof within 60 days of commencement; |
| | (c) | a decree or order of a court of competent jurisdiction is entered adjudging the Company to be bankrupt or insolvent, or a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of or in respect of the Company is approved under applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors; |
| | (d) | the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or petitions or applies to any court or tribunal for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or commences for itself or acquiesces in any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt law or statute or any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or any substantial part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or trusteeship; or |
| | (e) | a resolution is passed for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company. |
The Holder shall have the right, at its sole option, to declare this Note immediately due and payable irrespective of the Stated Maturity Date specified herein, upon an Event of Default.

4. Change of Control. The Holder shall have the right, at its sole option, to declare this Note immediately due and payable irrespective of the Maturity Date specified herein, ten business days prior to the effective date of any Change of Control Transaction undertaken without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent the Holder shall have no obligation to give. A “Change of Control Transaction” means (i) any sale of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company; (ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or acquisition transaction involving the Company or any material subsidiary of the Company; (iii) any sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or any material subsidiary of the Company; or (iv) any similar transaction involving the issuance, cancellation or restructuring of equity securities of the Company unless, following the completion of such transaction, the then existing shareholders of Company own or control, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power or liquidation rights of Company or the successor of such merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange. In the event of a contemplated Change of Control Transaction, the Company shall provide the Holder at least Fifteen business days prior to the effective date of any Change of Control Transaction, except as may otherwise be prohibited by law.

To such effect, the Company may request that the intended transferee execute an investment letter satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
