AMERICAN OIL & GAS, INC.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

     THIS COMMON STOCK WARRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the
9th day of August, 2006 by and between American Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”), and Norton Frickey (the “Holder”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement dated as of August 9, 2006 between the Company and Holder
(the “Subscription Agreement”), Holder agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed
to sell and issue to the Holder, a warrant to purchase shares of the $0,001 par value common stock
of the Company (the “Common Stock”), said warrant to be for the number of shares, at the price per
share and on the terms set forth in this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Holder desires to receive a warrant on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Warrant. The Company hereby grants to the Holder the right and warrant
(the “Warrant”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the authorized and
unissued $.001 par value common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) subject to adjustment as
provided in this Agreement, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     2. Warrant Price. At any time when shares are to be purchased pursuant to this
Agreement, the purchase price for each Warrant Share shall be $4.90 (the “Warrant Price”), subject to
adjustment as provided in this Agreement.

     3. Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of the Warrant shall commence on the
date of this Agreement and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time on February 8, 2007,
unless terminated earlier as provided herein.

     4. Exercise of Warrant.

     (a) The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by delivering to the
President of the Company at the address of the Company’s principal office (i) a Notice and
Agreement of

 

 

Exercise of Warrant, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
specifying the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is exercised, and
(ii) full payment of an amount equal to the Warrant Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares then being purchased (such aggregate amount of money, the “Purchase Price”).
Payment shall be made by certified check or cleared funds. The Warrant may not be exercised
in part unless the purchase price for the Warrant Shares purchased is at least $1,000 or
unless the entire remaining portion of the Warrant is being exercised.

     (b) Promptly upon receipt of the Notice and Agreement of Exercise of Warrant together
with the full payment of the Purchase Price, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a
properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being
purchased.

     5. Withholding Taxes. The Company may take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any law or
regulation or any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in
connection with the Warrant including, but not limited to, the withholding of all or any portion of any
payment owed by the Company to the Holder or the withholding of issuance of Warrant Shares to be issued upon the
exercise of the Warrant.

     6. Securities Laws Requirements. The issuance of the Warrant has not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in reliance upon an exemption from
registration. In addition, no Warrant Shares shall be issued unless and until, in the opinion of the
Company, there has been full compliance with, or an exemption from, any applicable registration requirements of
the 1933 Act, any applicable listing requirements of any securities exchange on which stock of the same
class has been listed, and any other requirements of law or any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over
such issuance and delivery. The Holder hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows, and,
pursuant to the terms of the Notice and Agreement of Exercise of Warrant (Exhibit A) that shall be
delivered to the Company upon each exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall acknowledge, represent, warrant
and agree as follows:

     (a) Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for investment purposes
only and the Warrant and the Warrant Shares that Holder is acquiring will be held by
Holder without sale, transfer or other disposition for an indefinite period unless the
transfer of those securities is subsequently registered under the federal securities laws or unless
exemptions from registration are available;

     (b) Holder’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not
disproportionate to Holder’s net worth, and Holder’s investment in the Warrant and the
Warrant Shares will not cause such overall commitments to become excessive;

     (c) Holder’s financial condition is such that Holder is under no present or
contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares
to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness;

     (d) Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate, and Holder has evaluated, the merits and risks of an investment in the
Warrant and the Warrant Shares;

     (e) The address set forth on the signature page to this Agreement is Holder’s true and correct residence, and Holder has no present intention of becoming a resident of
any other state or jurisdiction;

-2-

 

     (f) Holder confirms that all documents, records and books pertaining to an
investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares that have been requested by Holder
have been made available or delivered to the Holder. Holder has had the opportunity to discuss
the acquisition of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares with the Company. Holder also
confirms that it has obtained or been given access to all information concerning the Company that
Holder has requested;

     (g) Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive the answers from,
the officers and directors of the Company concerning the terms of Holder’s investment
in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and to receive additional information necessary to
verify the accuracy of the information delivered to Holder, to the extent that the Company
possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;

     (h) Holder understands that the Warrant has not been, and the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant will not be, registered under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws in reliance on an exemption for private offerings, and no federal or state
agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment or any
recommendation or endorsement of the issuance of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares;

     (i) The Warrant and the Warrant Shares that Holder is acquiring will be solely for
Holder’s own account, for investment, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the
resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof. Holder has no agreement or
arrangement for any such resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof;

     (j) Holder acknowledges and is aware of the following:

     (i) The Company has a history of losses. The Warrant and the Warrant Shares
constitute a speculative investment and involve a high degree of risk of loss by
Holder of Holder’s total investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

     (ii) There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Warrant
and the Warrant Shares. The Warrant is not transferable. The Warrant Shares cannot
be transferred, pledged, hypothecated, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they
are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is
available and established to the satisfaction of the Company; except as set forth
in the Subscription Agreement, investors in the Company have no rights to require
that the Warrant Shares be registered; there is no right of presentment of the
Warrant Shares and there is no obligation by the Company to repurchase any of the
Warrant Shares; and, accordingly, Holder may have to hold the Warrant Shares
indefinitely and it may not be possible for Holder to liquidate Holder’s investment
in the Company;

     (iii) Each certificate issued representing the Warrant Shares shall be
imprinted with a legend that sets forth a description of the restrictions on
transferability of those securities, which legend will read substantially as
follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), AND ARE ‘RESTRICTED SECURITIES’ AS
THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE

-3-

 

1933 ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT, THE
AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE
SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY THROUGH REASONABLE MEANS AS
DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY, INCLUDING AN OPINION OF SELLER’S
COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.”

     (k) The Holder shall report all sales of Warrant Shares to the Company in
writing on a form prescribed by the Company.

          The restrictions described above, or notice thereof, may be placed on the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the Warrant, and the Company may refuse to
issue the certificates or to transfer the shares on its books unless it is satisfied that no
violation of such restrictions will occur.

     7. Adjustment by Stock Split Stock Dividend. Etc. If at any time the Company increases or decreases the number of its outstanding shares of common stock, or changes in any way the rights and privileges of such shares, by means of the payment of a stock dividend or the making of any
other distribution on such shares payable in its common stock, or through a stock split or subdivision of shares, or a consolidation or combination of shares, or through a reclassification or recapitalization
involving its common stock, the numbers, rights and privileges of the shares of common stock included in the
Warrant shall be increased, decreased or changed in like manner as if such shares had been issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable at the time of such occurrence, and the Warrant Price shall be
correspondingly decreased, increased or otherwise changed. Whenever the number or kind of shares comprising
the Warrant Shares or the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly give written notice and a
certificate of the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer of the Company to the Holder of record
of the outstanding Warrant, stating that such an adjustment has been effected and setting forth the
number and kind of shares purchasable and the amount of the then-current Warrant Price, and stating in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment.

     8. Reorganization and Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or
any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company while the Warrant remains outstanding,
the Holder of the Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant (in lieu of the
kind and number of shares of Common Stock comprising Warrant Shares that such Holder would have been entitled
to purchase or acquire immediately before such reorganization or reclassification) the kind and
number of shares of stock of any class or classes or other securities or property for or into which such
shares of Common Stock would have been exchanged, converted, or reclassified if the Warrant Shares had
been purchased immediately before such reorganization or reclassification. In case of any such
reorganization or reclassification, appropriate provision (as determined by resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company) shall be made with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the
Warrant, to the end that all the provisions of this Agreement (including adjustment provisions) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in relation to such stock or other securities
or property.

     9. Common Stock to be Received upon Exercise. Holder understands that in the absence
of registration of the Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares cannot be sold
unless they are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. Holder also understands
that with

-4-

 

respect to Rule 144, routine sales of securities made in reliance upon such Rule can be made
only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rule, and that in cases
in which the Rule is inapplicable, compliance with either Regulation A or another exemption under
the 1933 Act will be required.

     10. Privilege of Ownership. Holder shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the shares covered by the Warrant except to the extent that one or more
certificates for such shares shall be delivered to him or her upon exercise of the Warrant.

     11. Relationship to Engagement. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall confer
upon the Holder any right with respect to continuance of Holder’s engagement by, or affiliation with,
or relationship to, the Company, or (ii) shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time
to terminate the Holder’s engagement by, position or affiliation with, or relationship to, the Company.

     12. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications
(“Notices”) concerning this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed or delivered personally or
sent by telecopier or facsimile to the applicable party at the address of such party set forth below
in this Section 13. When mailed, each such Notice shall be sent by first class, certified mail, return receipt

Enclosed is payment of the total exercise price for these Warrant Shares of $                    .

     The undersigned understands that no Warrant Shares will be issued unless and until, in the

registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), any
applicable listing requirements of any securities exchange on which stock of the same class is

evaluate, and Holder has evaluated, the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant

     (c) Holder confirms that all documents, records and books pertaining to an investment in the

Holder. Holder has obtained or been given access to all other information concerning the Company that

     (d) Holder has had the opportunity to discuss the acquisition of the Warrant Shares with the
Company, to ask questions of, and receive the answers from, the Company concerning the terms
of the investment in the Warrant Shares, and to receive additional information necessary to verify
the accuracy of any information delivered to Holder, to the extent that the Company possesses such information
or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;

     (e) Holder understands that the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the

     (f) Holder is acquiring the Warrant Shares solely for Holder’s own account, for investment,
and not with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization

Exhibit 10(xiv)

Consulting Agreement

This letter when signed below shall constitute a contract between American Oil & Gas, Inc.
(“AOG”) and Feagans Consulting, Inc. (“FCI”) whereby the two parties have agreed that, subject to
the other terms and conditions of this contract, FCI shall provide consulting services to AOG for
the 18 month period from January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 (the “Consulting Period”). As
compensation for providing these consulting services, FCI shall receive from AOG the following: 1)
$4,000.00 per month payable on a monthly basis during the Consulting Period (the “Cash
Compensation”); and 2) a total of 27,000 shares of AOG common stock, (the “Shares”) with 1,500 of
the Shares earned as of the last day of each month during the Consulting Period (the “Share
Compensation”). AOG will issue a stock certificate in FCI’s name for the aggregate of the Share
Compensation to be earned by FCI in accordance with the terms of this contract (27,000 shares) as
soon as practical after January 1, 2006. AOG will hold this certificate in its offices until it is
delivered to FCI on or before April 30, 2007 or 60 days after a Termination Notice as defined
below.

FCI understands that for purposes of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), the Shares will be subject to holding periods that commence with respect to each
block of 1,500 Shares and any remainder on the last day of the month in which those Shares were
earned. FCI further understands that the Shares will bear a restricted legend and will either have
to be registered under the Securities Act or sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

AOG hereby agrees to provide piggyback registration rights whereby AOG will include the Shares on
any registration statement or amendment to such registration statement the Company intends to file
with the SEC for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, other than a
registration statement for which these Shares are not eligible or qualified.

In addition to the above mentioned compensation, AOG also agrees to pay travel and travel related
expenses that FCI may incur on travel outside the greater Denver, Colorado area on a pre-approved
case-by-case basis.

Either party to this agreement may terminate this contract at any time for any reason by providing
60 days written notice to the other (the “Termination Notice”). If early termination occurs, both
the $4,000 per month Cash Compensation from AOG to FCI and the earning of 1,500 shares per month of
AOG common stock by FCI will cease 60 days after the Termination Notice.

In the event that AOGI is merged with or acquired by an outside entity prior to the earlier of (i)
June 30, 2007 or (ii) 60 days after the Termination Notice, AOG agrees that FCI shall be entitled
to receive all earned and unearned Shares (a total of 27,000 Shares),

 

 

 together with that portion of the Cash Compensation earned by FCI in accordance with the terms
of this contract through the effective date of the merger or acquisition.

AOG agrees to indemnify and hold harmless FCI, its officers and directors (collectively referred to
as the “FCI Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses,
costs and attorneys’ fees to which any of the FCI Parties may become subject as a result of, or
related to, this consulting agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction, or mutually agreed
to arbitration, determines that such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense, costs and attorneys’
fees resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of an FCI Party. FCI agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless AOG, its officers, directors and agents (collectively referred to as the “AOG
Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, costs and
attorneys’ fees to which any of the AOG Parties may become subject as a result of, or related to,
the actions or inactions of any of the FCI Parties unless a court of competent jurisdiction, or
mutually agreed to arbitration, determines that the actions or inactions were within the reasonably
contemplated scope of this consulting agreement and did not involve the negligence or willful
misconduct of any of the FCI Parties. If either party must enforce the terms of this
indemnification provision, or defend against the application of this indemnification provision, in
a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to an award of all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.

Corporate Data and Information. FCI acknowledges that, in connection with FCI’s performance
under this contract, FCI will be and/or has been entrusted with or will otherwise obtain certain
non-public information (the “Information”), including trade secrets, marketing plans, and
confidential or specialized data and/or other information related to the business of AOG and/or
AOG’s customers, suppliers and co-venturers. In consideration of FCI’s engagement through and at
the time of the disclosure to FCI of the Information, FCI agrees and covenants with and unto AOG
that:

     a. FCI will use the Information solely in the performance of FCI’s services
on behalf of and as requested by AOG.

     b. FCI will not make any statement or issue any communication, written or
otherwise, that disparages, criticizes or otherwise reflects adversely or encourages any
adverse action against AOG or subsidiaries or affiliates of AOG or their respective
officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, clients or customers,
except if testifying truthfully under oath pursuant to any lawful court order or subpoena
or otherwise responding to or providing disclosures required by law, and FCI
affirmatively represents and affirms that FCI has not done so.

     c. All Information shall remain the property of AOG, and all Information,
and other information including but not limited to manuals, reports, correspondence,
operating data and results, diagrams, computer programs, diskettes, supplies and
equipment, shall be returned to AOG at the earlier of (i) five days after AOG’s request, or
(ii) upon the termination of FCI’s engagement with or employment by AOG. FCI shall
not make or retain any photocopies, photographs or other reproductions of the

2

 

Information, or any portion thereof. FCI shall not disclose to any person either the fact of the
receipt of the Information or the occurrence of discussions and/or negotiations between AOG and FCI
or otherwise concerning the business or operations of AOG. In no event shall FCI be deemed by
virtue of this contract to have acquired any right or interest of any kind in or to the
Information.

     d. Any other use of this Information at any time during or after the term of
this contract is prohibited. Further, FCI understands that AOG is a publicly traded
company and it is important for AOG to protect the rights of its shareholders. FCI
understands that applicable federal securities laws impose significant restrictions
concerning the use or disclosure of material non-public information in general and in
buying or selling, or discussing with others the possibility of buying or selling AOG’s
stock by persons who have access to material non-public information concerning AOG.
FCI understands that FCI is subject to these restrictions, and FCI agrees that FCI will not
buy or sell AOG’s stock, or otherwise improperly use any such material non-public
information at any time that FCI possesses material non-public information concerning
AOG. FCI understands that it is prohibited from communicating material non-public
information to any person, with the exception of employees and board members of AOG
to whom FCI must disclose such information in order to carry out its responsibilities
under this agreement, without first obtaining the approval to do so from AOG
management.

     e. It is expressly agreed that the terms and conditions set forth under this
section entitled “Corporate Data and Information” (including subparagraphs a through e)
shall continue to apply after any termination of this contract.

Except as provided in this contract, (i) nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed as
creating a joint venture, partnership, employer/employee or any other relationship between AOG and
FCI, (ii) neither AOG or FCI is authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of the
other, (iii) neither AOG or FCI shall have the power to control the activities and operations of
the other, and (iv) FCI is, and at all times will continue to be, an independent contractor.

All notices required or permitted under this contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered as
follows with notice deemed given as indicated (i) by personal delivery when delivered personally,
(ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt, (iii) by facsimile transmission
when confirmed by facsimile transmission, or (iv) by United States mail, postage prepaid, three (3)
days after deposit in the mail addressed as follows:
