Watts, an individual (“Kent P. Watts”) and Christopher Watts, an individual (“Christopher Watts” and together with Kent P. Watts, the “Stockholders”), each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Herndon and Kent P. Watts previously entered into a Voting Agreement on or around August 25, 2015 (the “Kent P. Watts Voting Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Herndon and Christopher Watts previously entered into a Voting Agreement on or around August 28, 2015 (the “Christopher Watts Voting Agreement” and together with the Kent P. Watts Voting Agreement, the “Voting Agreements”);

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Voting Agreements;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Voting Agreements each of the Stockholders provided Herndon a voting proxy, which provided Herndon the right to vote shares of common stock of Hydrocarb Energy Corporation (the “Company”) which they held in connection with the election or removal of the Board Percentage of the directors of the Company (the “Voting Rights”);

WHEREAS, the Voting Agreements provided that the Voting Rights would become effective at such time as Kent P. Watts had sold an aggregate of $1 million shares of restricted common stock held by him to various purchasers in private transactions, and further provided that if an aggregate in $1 million in sales was not completed by September 21, 2015 (the “Minimum Purchase Requirement”), the Voting Agreements would not go into effect and all rights thereunder would expire;

WHEREAS, the Minimum Purchase Requirement was not met by September 21, 2015 and as such the Voting Agreements did not go into effect and in fact expired;

WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend the Voting Agreements pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, including $10 provided by Herndon to each of the Stockholders, which consideration the Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm the sufficiency thereof, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Amendment to Voting Agreements. Effective for all purposes as of the Effective Date, Section 5(c) of each of the Voting Agreements is hereby amended, superseded and replaced in its entirety, by the following Section 5(c):

“Term. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Term” means the period from November 16, 2015, until the earlier of (a) August 19, 2017; (b) the due date of a convertible promissory note that Mr. Herndon (or any entity which Mr. Herndon is deemed to beneficially own), directly or indirectly, purchases from Herndon in Herndon’s ongoing private placement of convertible promissory notes, which convertible promissory notes are convertible into Herndon’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share; and (c) the date that the Voting Proxy provides the Stockholder at least ten (10) days written notice of his intent to terminate this Agreement.”

2.           Amendment to Voting Proxies.

For the sake of clarity and in an abundance of caution, the Parties agree and confirm that although the Voting Agreements never went into effect and expired and terminated pursuant to their original terms on September 21, 2015, the Parties now desire to amend and revise such Voting Agreements to be in effect as of the date of the Effective Date for all purposes and such Voting Agreements shall hence force be treated as though they never expired or were terminated and instead that they became effective for all purposes as of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT A

VOTING PROXY

The undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of common stock of Hydrocarb Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), who beneficially owns that number of shares of the common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company as set forth below, on the date hereof, hereby appoints S. Chris Herndon, as proxy (the “Proxy”), with full power of substitution, for and in the name of the undersigned, to vote the Shares (and such other shares as he may come to own or have voting control over, as described in greater detail in the Voting Agreement, which this Voting Proxy is attached to as Exhibit A), as his proxy in all proceedings in which the vote or written consent of Stockholder may be required or authorized by law (including, but not limited to actual meetings of the Stockholders of the Company and written consents to action), as if the undersigned were present and voting such Shares, in connection with the election or removal of the Board Percentage of the directors of the Company, in his sole discretion as the Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, for and in Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to vote the Shares owned or held by Stockholder as Stockholder’s proxy regardless of whether such Stockholder actually attends any applicable meeting or signs any applicable consent, or not in connection with the Board Percentage. The “Board Percentage” equals a number of members of the board of directors of the Company equal to the then total members (or positions open for nomination at the applicable meeting or as of the applicable consent) of the Company’s Board of Directors multiplied by 0.6666 and rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, if the Company has three (3) directors, the Voting Proxy will have the right to vote the Shares to appoint (or remove) two (2) of the three (3) directors (three (3) directors multiplied by 0.6666 = two (2)). All action to be taken on any question shall be determined by Proxy, in his sole discretion. For the sake of clarity, and in an abundance of caution, the Stockholder shall have the right, in his sole discretion to vote the Shares for any remaining directors not covered by the Board Percentage or for any other proposals voted upon by the stockholders of the Company or for which the vote of stockholders is requested at any meeting or in connection with any action(s) taken via written consent.

The undersigned hereby affirms that this Proxy is coupled with an interest and ratifies and confirms all that the Proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This Voting Proxy shall be in effect during the Term. “Term” means the period from November 16, 2015 until the earlier of (a) August 19, 2017; (b) the due date of a convertible promissory note that Mr. Herndon (or any entity which Mr. Herndon is deemed to beneficially own), directly or indirectly, purchases from the Company in the Company’s ongoing private placement of convertible promissory notes, which convertible promissory notes are convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share; and (c) the date that the Proxy provides the Stockholder at least ten (10) days written notice of his intent to terminate this Voting Proxy.

Executed this 16th day of November 2015.
