Warrant
 
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that for cash consideration of $10 and other value received, and subject to these terms and conditions, “RMB Australia Holdings Limited”, a company incorporated under the laws of Australia (“Lender”), or such other person or entity to which or whom this Warrant is transferred (the “Holder”), is entitled to exercise this Warrant to purchase [Insert Number of Warrant Shares] fully paid and non-assessable shares of Bullfrog Gold Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), $0.0001 par value per share common stock](the “Warrant Stock”), at a price per share of $0.35 (the Exercise Price”) (the number of shares, type of security and the Exercise Price being subject to adjustment as provided below).
 
1. 
Method of Exercise
 
Cash Exercise Right. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, at any time during the period (the “Exercise Period”) that (a) commences on the date of issue of this Warrant (b) ends on a date 36 months from the date of issue of this Warrant. During the Exercise Period the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company at 897 Quail Run Drive, Grand Junction, CO 81505, United States of America (or any other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) (x) this Warrant certificate, (y) a certified or cashier’s cheque payable to the Company, or cancelled indebtedness of the Company to the Holder, in the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (the Purchase Price”), and (z) the Notice of Cash Exercise attached as Exhibit A duly completed and executed by the Holder. On exercise, the Holder will be entitled to receive from the Company a stock certificate in proper form representing the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased.
 
2.
Delivery of Stock Certificates; No Fractional Shares
 
(a)
Within 10 days after the payment of the Purchase Price following the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part) , the Company at its expense will issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Warrant Stock to which the Holder will be entitled on the exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) a new Warrant of like tenor to purchase up to that number of shares of Warrant Stock, if any, as to which this Warrant has not been exercised if this Warrant has not expired. The Holder will for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Warrant Stock on the date this Warrant was exercised (the date the Holder has fully complied with the requirements of Section 1), irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock; provided that, if the date this Warrant is exercised is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, a person will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Warrant Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
 
 
81

 
 
(b)
No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will pay the Holder a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of the fractional shares (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) on the date of exercise such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
 
3.
Covenants as to Warrant Stock.
 
(a)
The Company covenants that at all times during the Exercise Period there will be reserved for issuance and delivery on exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of Warrant Stock as is necessary for exercise in full of this Warrant and, from time to time, it will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Warrant Stock. All shares of Warrant Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will, on their issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all pre-emptive rights, except restrictions arising (i) under federal and state securities laws, (ii) not by or through the Company, or (iii) by agreement between the Company and the Holder or its successors.
 
(b)
 
 
(i)
The Company must use its best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or other equivalent form in relation to all securities which are issuable on exercise of this Warrant (Registration Statement).

The Company must use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 6 months from the date on which it was filed.
 
 
(iii)
A registration statement filed by the Company may deal solely with the securities which are issuable on exercise of this Warrant or may include those securities in any other registration statement relating to the registration of other securities of the Company.
 
 
(iv)
The Company must register any securities under any applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of each State of the United States which the Lender reasonably requests.

Common Shares” means shares of the Company which are of the same class as the Warrant Shares.
 
(b)

4.2
Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:
 
(a)
If at any time during the Exercise Period the Company shall:
 
 
82

 
 
 
(1)
fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;
 
 
(2)
fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares;
 
 
(3)
subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or
 
 
(4)
consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares;
 
(any of such events in subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4) above being herein called a "Common Share Reorganization"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:
 
 
(A)
the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and
 
 
(B)
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding had such securities all been exchanged or exercised for or converted into Common Shares on such date).
 
To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this section 4.2(a) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, exercise or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
 
(b)
If at any time during the Exercise Period there shall occur:
 
 
(1)
a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Common Share Reorganization;
 
 
(2)
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; or
 
 
(3)
the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;
 
(any of such events being herein called a "Capital Reorganization"), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(c)
If at any time during the Exercise Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of section 4.2(a) hereof, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.
 
 
83

 
 
4.3
Rules.  The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 4.2 of this Warrant Certificate.
 
(a)
Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 4.3, any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 4.2 hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.
 
(b)
No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the Exercise Price then in effect and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of this Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provisions of this section 4.3(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 4.2 of this Warrant Certificate, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (except in respect of a consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares).
 
(c)
If at any time during the Exercise Period the Company shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action or an event described in subsection 4.2 hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would or could have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder under this Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.  Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.
 
(d)
No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable on the exercise of this Warrant shall be made in respect of any event described in section 4 hereof if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.
 
(e)
If the directors of the Company set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.
 
(f)
In any case in which this Warrant shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 4.2 hereof, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event:
 
 
(1)
issuing to the Holder, to the extent that this Warrant is exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and
 
 
(2)
delivering to the Holder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Warrant Shares after such record date and before such event;
 
provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Holder, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Warrant Shares issuable on this exercise of this Warrant.
 
(g)
If the directors of the Company do not set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to participate in a Rights Offering, the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering shall be deemed to be the record date for the Rights Offering.
 
(h)
If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors.
 
 
84

 
 
4.4
Taking of Actions.  As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 4.2 hereof the Company shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Warrant Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.
 
4.5
Notice.  At least 21 days prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, for any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Holder under this Warrant, including the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares which are purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment.  In case any adjustment for which a notice in this subsection 4.5 has been given is not then determinable, the Company shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Holder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the register of transfers and transfer books for the Common Shares will be open, and that the Company will not take any action which might deprive the Holder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Warrant Certificate, during such 21 day period.
