The WH Debenture matures on August 1, 2012 (the “WH Maturity Date”) and bears interest at the annual rate of 8%.  The Company is not required to make any payments until the WH Maturity Date. WH LLC is permitted to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the WH Debenture into Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.

The WH Warrant has an exercise price of $0.15 per share of Common Stock and will be exercisable until December 31, 2016.  The WH Warrant can be exercised on a cashless basis.

WH LLC agreed to restrict its ability to convert the WH Debenture and receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock such that the number of shares of Common Stock held by WH LLC in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Black Cat Purchase and Sale Amendment

On March 5, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Black Cat Exploration & Production LLC (“Black Cat”), which amended the Purchase and Sale Agreement for Oil & Gas Properties and Related Assets entered into between the Company and Black Cat on November 14, 2011 (the “Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Black Cat agreed to sell the Company all rights, title and interest that Black Cat owns in certain wells in the Gulf of Mexico (the “Assets”) in exchange for $250,000, a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000, payable in four monthly installments of $250,000 after closing, and the issuance of 45 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the payment terms were amended to $175,000, a junior promissory note in the amount of $1,075,000, of which $100,000 is due on May 31, 2012 and the balance payable at the later of (i) 90 days from the date of closing, or (ii) 30 days after production commences from the Mustang Island Well, and the issuance of 45 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company was required to deposit $250,000 into an escrow account upon execution of the Amendment.

Further, the Amendment eliminates the closing date of December 15, 2011 and changes it to the agreement of the Company and Black Cat. In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, the requirement of the Company to enter into an employment agreement with Anthony Mason to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer and to appoint Mr. Mason to the Company’s Board of Directors was deleted and replaced with a covenant to recommend the same to the Board of Directors within 30 days after closing.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
 
THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT is made as of this ___day of _________, 2012 between Paxton Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation with its principal office located at 295 Highway 50, Suite 2, Lake Village Professional Building, Stateline, NV 89449 (Mailing Address: P.O. Box 1148 Zephyr Cove, NV89448-1148) (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber”).

Subscriber acknowledges that the offering of the Securities has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state agency because it is intended to be a nonpublic offering exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder and state securities laws.
 
Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by its responses to the Accredited Investor Questionnaire included at the end of this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber further represents and warrants that the information furnished in the Questionnaire is accurate and complete in all material respects and that Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Securities.

(a)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon Conversion of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Conversion 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 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 this Section 2.6 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, combination or re-classification.

(b)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Notes) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to this Section 2.6), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion 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 VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share 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 the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(c)   If at any time while this Note 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 (each “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent Conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Note Share that would have been issuable upon such Conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such transaction by a holder. 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 Company 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 the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any Conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to Conversion such Note 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 Section 3(c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 
4

 

(d)   All calculations under this Section 2.6  shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2.6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

2.7    Reservation of Shares. At all times throughout the life of the Note, the Company shall have sufficient amount of authorized and unissued common stock available in order to satisfy full conversion of the Note.  In case such amount of Common Stock is reasonably considered potentially insufficient, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting to increase the number of authorized common stock.  Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized common stock and shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of common shares authorized. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

2.8     Issuance of New Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.  Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

Exhibit 10.05



THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS NOTE UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO WORTHINGTON ENERGY, INC.

 UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Worthington Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to ________________, whose current business or residence address is ______________________, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Holder”), the sum of ___________ Dollars ($_________), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on ___________, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Subscription Agreement between Borrower and the Holder (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, (the “Subscription Agreement”).

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I
INTEREST

1.      Interest. Interest on the principal will accrue on this Note from the date funds representing this Note were received by Borrower until the Maturity Date, at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum based on a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date.

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION

2.1    Optional Conversion.  Subject to the terms of this Article II, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default and to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.”  The “Conversion Price” shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company relating to the Company’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 50% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein)(representing a discount rate of 50%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the Conversion Notice is sent by the Holder to the Company via facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or applicable trading market (the “OTCBB”).

 
 

 
 
2.2    Conversion Limitation. Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion.  The Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. The Borrower shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such filings.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Borrower, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.3, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower.

2.3    Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.  In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in the from attached as Exhibit A (“Notice of Conversion”) to Borrower. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, (accrued interest), and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Holder.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or electronically transmitted to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by physical delivery or crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). The Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, (unless the Holder provides Borrower written instructions to the contrary.

2.4    Remedies on Conversion Failure/ Late Payments.

(a) Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, Borrower agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. Borrower shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

(b) If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such conversion at any time before such shares are transmitted.

(c)  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Conversion then the Company shall  pay  Holder an amount equal to $1,000.

2.5    Conversion Calculation The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

2.6    Adjustment to Conversion Price. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 
3

 
 
(a)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon Conversion of this Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Conversion 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 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 this Section 2.6 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, combination or re-classification.

(b)   If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Notes) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to this Section 2.6), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion 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 VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share 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 the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(c)   If at any time while this Note 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 (each “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent Conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Note Share that would have been issuable upon such Conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such transaction by a holder. 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 Company 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 the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any Conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to Conversion such Note 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 Section 3(c) and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
4

 
 
      (d)   All calculations under this Section 2.6  shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2.6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

2.7    Reservation of Shares. At all times throughout the life of the Note, the Company shall have sufficient amount of authorized and unissued common stock available in order to satisfy full conversion of the Note.  In case such amount of Common Stock is reasonably considered potentially insufficient, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting to increase the number of authorized common stock.  Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized common stock and shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of common shares authorized. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

2.8    Issuance of New Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.  Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

 
5

 
 
ARTICLE III
ORDER OF PAYMENT

Any payment made by the Borrower to the Holder, on account of this Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to any amounts other than principal and accrued interest, if any, hereunder, (ii) second, to accrued interest, if any, through and including the date of payment, and (iv) then, to principal of the Note.

ARTICLE IV

The Optional Redemption Amount is payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. The Company’s determination to pay an Optional Redemption in cash shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Notes based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

5.2    Redemption Procedure.  The payment of cash pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be payable on the Optional Redemption Date.  If any portion of the payment pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall not be paid by the Company by the applicable due date, interest shall accrue thereon at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption on the Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall have no further right to exercise such Optional Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, the Company’s determination to redeem in cash or its elections under Section 5.1 shall be applied ratably among the Holders of Notes. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Note pursuant to Article II prior to actual payment in cash for any redemption under this Article V by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company.
