QUEST MINERALS & MINING CORP.
WARRANT
[AMENDED AND RESTATED]
Warrant No. __ Dated: December 17, 2004
(amended and restated as of January 26, 2005)
[This Warrant is being amended and restated to reflect certain errors that
existed in the original Warrant No. __ relating to Section 9(e) and shall
supercede and replace the original Warrant.]
Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., a Utah corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for value received, _______________, or its registered
assigns ("Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company _____________ shares of common stock, $0.001 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
$1.50 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 December 17, 2009 (the "Expiration Date"), and
subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. 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 and the Company shall not be affected
by notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
---------------------------------------
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any
portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register upon surrender of this Warrant,
with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the
Transfer Agent or to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to
Section 3(b). Upon any such registration of 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.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to
Section 3(b) for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.
Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.
---------------------------------
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered
Holder on any business day before 8:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 8:00 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. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise
redeem this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) Subject to Sections 2(b), 6 and 10, upon surrender of
this Warrant, with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly
completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 13 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner
provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to
Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30)
business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) 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 except
(i) either in the event that a registration statement covering the resale of the
Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not
then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the
Company, as required by such agreement. 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 Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
A "Date of Exercise" means the date on which the
Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as
applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached
to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment
of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the
holder hereof to be purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its
entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.
If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant
-2-
are exercised at any time, 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 for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
4. Registration.
------------
(a) Registration Rights. If, at any time after December
17, 2004 and expiring December 17, 2006, the Company proposes to register any of
its securities under the Securities Act (except for registrations on Forms S-8
or S-4 or their equivalent), it will give written notice by registered mail, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement,
to Holder of its intention to do so. If Holder notifies the Company within
twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of its desire to include any
Warrant Shares in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford
Holder the opportunity to have any such Warrant Shares registered under such
registration statement at the Company's sole cost and expense. These rights may
be exercised at any time on an unlimited number of occasions prior to December
17, 2006, subject to the absolute discretion of any underwriter of the Company's
securities requesting that the Warrant Shares not be sold for a period not to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such
registration statement.
(b) Expenses of Registration. All registration expenses
(exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be borne by the
Company. Each Holder of Warrant Shares shall bear all underwriting discounts,
selling commissions, sales concessions and similar expenses applicable to the
sale of the Warrant Shares sold by such Holder.
(c) Registration Procedures. In the case of the
registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to
Section 4 hereof, the Company will keep the Holders of Warrant Shares advised as
to the initiation of registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will furnish such number of
prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as the Holders or underwriters
from time to time may reasonably request.
(d) Information. The Company may require each seller of
Warrant Shares as to which any registration is being effected to furnish such
information regarding the distribution of such Warrant Shares as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request and the Company may exclude from such
registration the Warrant Shares of any seller who unreasonably fails to furnish
such information after receiving such request.
(e) Blue Sky. The Company will, as expeditiously as
possible, use its best efforts to register or qualify the Warrant Shares covered
by a registration statement at the expense of the Company in such jurisdictions
as the Holders of such Warrant Shares or, in the case of an underwritten public
offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request at the expense of
the Holders of the Warrant Shares being registered provided that the Company
shall not be required in connection with any such registration or qualification
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or
-3-
service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not otherwise subject to such
taxation or service of process.
(f) Notification of Material Events. The Company will, as
expeditiously as possible, immediately notify each Holder of Warrant Shares
under a registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing and, as expeditiously as possible, amend or supplement such
prospectus to eliminate the untrue statement or the omission.
5. Intentionally Omitted.
---------------------
6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp
taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant; 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
indemnity, if requested, reasonably satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New
Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company
may prescribe.
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 actual
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 that shall be 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.
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. Upon each such adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the Holder shall thereafter prior to
the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting
from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
-4-
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.
(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on
outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated
dividend rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of
its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury
shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination, and shall apply to successive subdivisions and
combinations.
(b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock
or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is convened
into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or
property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been
entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or share exchange. The terms of any such reclassification or
share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder
the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 9(b)
upon any exercise following any such reclassification or share exchange.
(c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders
of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in
Sections 9(a) and (b)), then in each such ease the Exercise Price shall be
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by
the Company's independent certified public accountants that regularly examines
the financial statements of the Company (an "Appraiser").
(d) In case of any (i) merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, or (ii) sale by the Company of more than
one-half of the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series
of related transactions, or (iii) tender or other offer or exchange (whether by
the Company or another Person) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
-5-
permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, stock, cash
or property of the Company or another Person; then the Holder shall have the
right thereafter to (A) exercise this Warrant for the shares of stock and other
securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall
be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount
of securities, cash and property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant
could have been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
sales would have been entitled, (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation,
(x) require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a warrant entitling the
Holder to acquire shares of such entity's common stock, which warrant shall have
terms identical (including with respect to exercise) to the terms of this
Warrant and shall be entitled to all of the fights and privileges set forth
herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Warrant was issued (including,
without limitation, as such rights relate to the acquisition, transferability,
registration and listing of such shares of stock other securities issuable upon
exercise thereof), or (C) in the event of an exchange or tender offer or other
transaction contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section, tender or exchange
this Warrant for such securities, stock, cash and other property receivable upon
or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock that have tendered or exchanged
their shares of Common Stock following such tender or exchange, and the Holder
shall be entitled upon such exchange or tender to receive such amount of
securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock for which this
Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such tender or exchange
would have been entitled as would have been issued. In the case of clause (B),
the exercise price applicable for the newly issued warrant shall be based upon
the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock
would receive in such transaction and the Exercise Price immediately prior to
the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such
merger, sale, consolidation, tender or exchange shall include such terms so as
continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and
property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following
such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(e) In the event of an event of default under the Amended
and Restated Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith (the "Note") made by
the Company's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Quest Energy, LTD., a Kentucky
corporation, in favor of the Holder, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to
fifty percent (50%) of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto.
(f) For the purposes of this Section 9, the following
clauses shall also be applicable:
(i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take
a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them
(A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in
securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable
into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the
date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
-6-
(ii) Treasury Shares. 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.
(g) All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made
to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(h) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
Section 9(c) above, 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 the adjustment shall
be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each of the Appraiser
and such additional appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be
mailed to the Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiting such
adjustment. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date described in Section 9(c).
(i) If:
(i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
other distribution) on its Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock: or
(iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to
all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or
(iv) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory, share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property; or
(v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last addresses as it shall
appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 30 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date herein after specified, a notice stating (x)
the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up; provided; however, that the failure to mail such notice or any
-7-
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise
Price by delivering immediately available funds.
11. Certain Exercise Restrictions.
-----------------------------
(a) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise and held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the
Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of
Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise hereunder, unless the
exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard
to any other shares of Common Stock which may be beneficially owned by the
Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will
limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that the Holder
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form
of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and disregard the balance of such Form of
Election to Purchase, as if never delivered. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.
(b) A Holder may not exercise this Warrant to the extent
such exercise would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof,
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise and held by such Holder after application of
this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company
the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of an exercise
hereunder, unless the exercise at issue would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock without regard to any other shares of Common Stock which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have
the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in
this Section will limit any particular exercise hereunder and to the extent that
the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Form
of Election to Purchase for a number of Warrant Shares that would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify
the Holder of this fact and shall honor the exercise for the maximum portion of
-8-
this Warrant permitted to be exercised on such Date of Exercise in accordance
with the periods described herein and disregard the balance of such Form of
Election to Purchase, as if never delivered. The provisions of this Section may
be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon
not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be
unaffected by any such waiver.
12. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.
The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of
a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable on
the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to
the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries hereunder 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 telephone number specified in this
Section prior to 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (ii) the
business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this
Section later than 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than
11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the business 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 Company to:
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
(ii) if to the Holder to: the Holder at the
address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other
address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in
accordance with this Section.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under
this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder, the Company may
appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new
warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any
corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall
be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any
such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as
warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder's last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

15. Miscellaneous.

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This
Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.

Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the
