Section 1 Registrants Business and Operations


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


On November 15, 2012, Rangeford Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Great Northern Energy, Inc. (“GNE”) to acquire a substantial non-operating working interest in oil assets in East Texas in consideration for a purchase price that includes: (a) a cash payment of $3,900,000 in the form of (i) a deposit of $100,000; (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000; and (iii) a promissory note in the amount of $2,700,000 and (b) 6,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock, which Agreement was reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012 (File No. 000-54306).  The Company put forth a Letter of Addendum (the “Addendum”), dated January 25, 2013 to GNE, which modifies the terms of the Agreement as follows:


1.

The Company and GNE agreed that the Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred on January 25, 2013, and further agreed to extend the Termination Date for the Closing of the transfer of the Assets from GNE to the Company to no later than March 31, 2013.


2.

The Company issued GNE a new promissory note in the amount of $1,113,260 in exchange for the promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000 issued to GNE on November 15, 2012. The new promissory note bears interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, is repayable commencing on February 15, 2013 and continuing in the increments and on the dates set forth below until paid in full and includes additional fees in the total amount of $145,958.30 on the following schedule:

3.

The Company and GNE extended the date for the payment of $1,200,000 under the $2,700,000 promissory note from December 1, 2012, to January 25, 2013; as of the date of this Report, $700,000 has been paid and upon payment of the additional $500,000, the initial payment will be satisfied.


4.

The Company agreed to issue GNE an additional 900,000 shares of its restricted common stock, increasing the total amount of shares due under the Agreement to 7,400,000.


5.

The Company and GNE agreed to reduce the amount of minimum working capital to be maintained by the Company from $1,400,000 to $150,000.


The Board of Directors approved the Addendum and the transactions contemplated thereby via unanimous written consent on January 30, 2013, with an effective date of February 5, 2013.  The Addendum was executed on January 30, 2013 and the Company issued the shares required under the Addendum to GNE.  However, the Company has not yet made the payments required as of the date of this Report under the Addendum.  The parties continue to negotiate the terms of the transaction with GNE and therefore there can be no assurance that the acquisition contemplated by the Agreement will occur.  


Further information (about the Company) can be found at the Company’s website, www.rangeford-resources.com , which is not incorporated in, and is not a part of, this Report.


This brief description of the Letter of Addendum to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the new promissory note contained herein is only a summary of the material terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Letter of Addendum and form of the promissory note, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.  


We are also attaching forms of the original transaction documents entered into in November 2012 when we signed the Agreement with GNE.

.  The Company hereby grants to the Investor the right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 2.1(a)) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement.  A Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities (assuming full conversion of the Shares and exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, directly or indirectly, into Common Stock held by said Investor) to (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities (assuming full conversion of the Shares and exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, directly or indirectly).  This right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a)

New Securities” shall mean any capital stock (including Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, convertible securities, options or warrants to purchase such capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, exercisable or convertible into capital stock; provided that the term “New Securities” does not include:

(vi)

3




(vii)

(viii)

any right, option or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to subsections (i) through (xi) above.

(b)

In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give the Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same.  The Investor shall have twenty (20) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase such Holder’s pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule 1, and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

(c)

In the event the Investor fails to exercise fully the right of first refusal within said twenty (20) day period (the “Election Period”), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of said agreement) to sell that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Investor’s right of first refusal option set forth in this Section 2.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Investor delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(b).  In the event the Company has not sold within such ninety (90) day period following the Election Period, or such ninety (90) day period following the date of said agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Investor in the manner provided in this Section 2.1.

B.

If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 10 calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) as to, in the aggregate among all Holders on a pro-rata basis based on their purchase of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Initial Shares is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) all of the Registrable Securities are not registered for resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements on or before June 30, 2013 or

(vi) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of I 5 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i), (iv) and (v) the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such 10 calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (vi) the date on which such 10 or 15 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.00% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. The parties agree that the Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 8% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

11



An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).

D.

Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.



12


The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution


Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the [principal Trading Market] or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.



17



Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding. directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.



18



We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

RE:  Extension of Agreements and Funding / Stock Amounts.

Gentlemen,

Whereas, Rangeford Resources, Inc. (“RRI”) and Great Northern Enegy, Inc. (“GNE”) are party to a purchase and sale agreement dated as of November 15, 2012, which was subsequently amended on December 18, 2012 (collectively, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), to acquire a substantial non-operating working interest in oil assets in East Texas in consideration for a purchase price of $3,900,000, which is comprised of a deposit of $100,000 (the “Deposit”); a promissory note in the amount of $1,100,000 bearing 8% interest per annum, which is due and payable in full, twelve months from the date of the note, with four equal quarterly payments due beginning on December 1, 2012; (“Promissory Note No. 1”); a promissory note in the amount of $2,700,000, due on June 30, 2014, with initial payment of $1,200,000 due on December 1, 2012 and secured by the assets being purchased under the Agreement (“Promissory Note No. 2”); and 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both Promissory Notes are secured by a pledge and security agreement  that grants a security interest in all of the assets purchased under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and any proceeds resulting therefrom to GNE (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”);

Whereas, RRI has notified GNE that it is unable to comply with terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement as originally agreed to; and

Whereas, the parties desire to continue the relationship in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the parties in the Purchase and Sale Agreement;

Now therefore, in consideration for the mutual consideration set forth herein, the parties do hereby agree to Amend the Purchase and Sale Agreement as follows:

(a) The “Effective Date,” for purposes of this Purchase and Sale Agreement, shall be deemed to have occurred on January 25, 2013.  Thereafter, the Closing shall occur on such date that all of the conditions set forth in Article 9 to be satisfied have either been satisfied or waived, such period not to exceed March 31, 2013, at midnight (Central Standard Time).

II.

Amendment to Article 2 - Purchase Price

Article 2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:
