 HALCÓN RESOURCES CORPORATION 
 2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 ARTICLE I 
 PURPOSE 
 SECTION 1.1 History; Establishment. Effective May 8, 2006,
RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (“RAM”) established the RAM Energy Resources, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Thereafter, RAM and Halcón Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Halcón”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the issuance to, and acquisition by, Halcón of shares of common stock, par value $.0001, of RAM. The Purchase
Agreement required RAM to change its corporate name to Halcón Resources Corporation, and the Board approved an amendment to RAM’s certificate of incorporation changing its corporate name to Halcón Resources Corporation (the
“Company”). The Company now wishes to amend, restate and rename the 2006 Plan as the Halcón Resources Corporation 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective May 17, 2012, to reflect the new name of the
Company and make certain other changes, provided that this amended and restated Plan shall not be effective unless the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Unless terminated earlier
by the Board pursuant to Section 13.1, the Plan shall terminate on May 17, 2022, which is the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Plan shall continue in effect until
all matters relating to the payment of Awards and administration of the Plan have been settled. Awards granted prior to the date of this amendment and restatement will continue to be governed by the Award Agreement and the Plan as in effect on the
Date of Grant of the Award, except to the extent the modifications made to the Plan are not adverse to the Participant and would not result in an adverse accounting charge to the Company for financial accounting purposes. 

SECTION 1.2 Purpose. The purposes of the Plan are to create incentives which are designed to motivate Participants to put forth
maximum effort toward the success and growth of the Company and to enable the Company to attract and retain experienced individuals who by their position, ability and diligence are able to make important contributions to the Company’s success.
Toward these objectives, the Plan provides for the grant of Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, SARs, Performance Units, Performance Bonuses, Stock Awards and Other Incentive Awards to Eligible Employees and the grant of
Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, SARs, Performance Units, Stock Awards and Other Incentive Awards to Consultants and Eligible Directors, subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan. 

SECTION 1.3 Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Awards may be made under this Plan for a

 ARTICLE V 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
 SECTION 5.1 Grant of Options. The Board may, from time to
time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant Options to Eligible Employees. These Options may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination of both. The Board
may, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant Nonqualified Stock Options to Eligible Directors and Consultants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nonqualified Stock Options may be granted only
to Eligible Employees, Eligible Directors and Consultants performing services for the Company or a corporation or other type of entity in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has a “controlling
interest” in another corporation or entity in the chain, starting with the Company and ending with the corporation or other entity for which the Eligible Employee, Eligible Director or Consultant performs services. For purposes of this Section,
“controlling interest” means (a) in the case of a corporation, ownership of stock possessing at least 50% of total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such corporation or at least 50% of the total value
of shares of all classes of stock of such corporation; (b) in the case of a partnership, ownership of at least 50% of the profits interest or capital interest of such partnership; (c) in the case of a sole proprietorship, ownership of the

by an Award Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant, and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such form as the Board may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements of Section 5.2. 

SECTION 5.2 Conditions of Options. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(a) Exercise Price. As limited by Section 5.2(e) below, each Option shall state the exercise price which shall
be set by the Board at the Date of Grant; provided, however, no Option shall be granted at an exercise price which is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant unless the Option is granted through the assumption of, or
in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became Eligible Employees (or other service providers) as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company which
complies with Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). 
 (b) Form of Payment. The exercise price
of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) subject to prior approval by the Board in its discretion, by delivering previously acquired shares of Common Stock having
an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the exercise price, but only to the extent such exercise of an Option would not result in an adverse accounting charge to the Company for financial accounting purposes with
respect to the shares used to pay the exercise price unless otherwise determined by the Board; or (iii) subject to prior approval by the Board in its 

  
 8 

 
discretion, by withholding shares of Common Stock which otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at on the date of payment equal to the amount of the exercise
price, or (iv) subject to prior approval by the Board in its discretion, by a combination of the foregoing. In addition to the foregoing, the Board may permit an Option granted under the Plan to be exercised by a broker-dealer acting on behalf
of a Participant through procedures approved by the Board. Such procedures may include a broker either (i) selling all of the shares of Common Stock received when an Option is exercised and paying the Participant the proceeds of the sale (minus
the exercise price, withholding taxes and any fees due to the broker) or (ii) selling enough of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option to cover the exercise price, withholding taxes and any fees due to the broker and
delivering to the Participant (either directly or through the Company) a stock certificate for the remaining shares of Common Stock. 
 (c) Exercise of Options. 
 (i) Options granted under the
Plan shall be exercisable, in whole or in such installments and at such times, and shall expire at such time, as shall be provided by the Board in the Award Agreement. Exercise of an Option shall be by written notice to the Secretary of the Company
(or such other officer as may be designated by the Board) at least two business days in advance of such exercise stating the election to exercise in the form and manner determined by the Board. Every share of Common Stock acquired through the
exercise of an Option shall be deemed to be fully paid at the time of exercise and payment of the exercise price. 
 (ii) Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the following provisions will apply to the exercisability of Options following the termination of a Participant’s employment or service with the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity: 
 (A) If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the
Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, the Eligible Employee (or personal representative in the case of death) shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to
any (i) vested Incentive Stock Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination (one year in the case of death or Disability in lieu of the three-month period) and (ii) vested Nonqualified Stock Option during the
remaining term of the Option. If an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any vested Option for a period of up to three
months from such date of termination. In no event shall any Option be exercisable past the term of the Option. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of unvested Options in the event of termination of employment of any
Participant. 

  
 9 

 (B) In the event a Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company or
an Eligible Director terminates service as a director of the Company, the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Director’s Award Agreement or by the Board. The
Consultant or Eligible Director shall have a period of three years following the date he ceases to provide consulting services or ceases to be a director, as applicable, to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Options which are otherwise exercisable on
his date of termination of service. 
 (d) Other Terms and Conditions. Among other conditions that may be
imposed by the Board, if deemed appropriate, are those relating to (i) the period or periods and the conditions of exercisability of any Option; (ii) the minimum periods during which Participants must be employed by the Company, its
Subsidiaries, or an Affiliated Entity, or must hold Options before they may be exercised; (iii) the minimum periods during which shares acquired upon exercise must be held before sale or transfer shall be permitted; (iv) conditions under
which such Options or shares may be subject to forfeiture; (v) the frequency of exercise or the minimum or maximum number of shares that may be acquired at any one time; (vi) the achievement by the Company of specified performance
criteria; and (vii) non-compete and protection of business matters. 
 (e) Special Restrictions Relating
to Incentive Stock Options. 
 (i) Options issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall only be
granted to Eligible Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary, and not to Eligible Employees of an Affiliated Entity unless such entity shall be considered as a “disregarded entity” under the Code and shall not be distinguished for federal
tax purposes from the Company or the applicable Subsidiary. 
 (ii) No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to
an Eligible Employee who owns or who would own immediately before the grant of such Incentive Stock Option more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or its Subsidiaries or a “parent corporation”, unless (A) at the time
such Option is granted the exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and (B) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.
For purposes of this Section 5.2(e), “parent corporation” means a “parent corporation” of the Company, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code. 

(iii) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted) of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries and parent corporations
exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. 

  
 10 

 
The Board shall determine, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and other administrative pronouncements, which of an Participant’s Options will not
constitute Incentive Stock Options because of such limitation and shall notify the Participant of such determination as soon as practicable after such determination. 

(iv) Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he
or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including any sale) of such Common Stock before the later of
(i) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. 
 (v) Except in the case of death, an Option will not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless at all times beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the day three months (one year in the case of a
Participant who is “disabled” within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) before the date of exercise of the Option, the Participant is an employee of the Company or a parent corporation of the Company or a Subsidiary (or a
corporation or a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of such corporation issuing or assuming an Option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies). 

(f) Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options
will be used for general corporate purposes. 
 (g) Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have a right
as a shareholder with respect to any share of Common Stock subject to an Option prior to purchase of such shares of Common Stock by exercise of the Option.

to the Restricted Stock Units. In addition to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event as provided in Section 13.4, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting
of an Award of Restricted Stock Units in the case of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant who is an Eligible Employee or resignation of a Participant who is a Consultant or an Eligible Director. 

(b) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon the lapse of restrictions with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive one share of Common Stock or an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock, as provided in the Award Agreement. 

(c) Cash Dividend Rights and Dividend Unit Rights. The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant a tandem Cash
Dividend Right or Dividend Unit Right grant with respect to Restricted Stock Units. A grant of Cash Dividend Rights may provide that 

  
 13 

 
such Cash Dividend Rights shall be paid directly to the Participant at the time of payment of related dividend, be credited to a bookkeeping account subject to the same vesting and payment
provisions as the tandem Award (with or without interest in the sole discretion of the Board), or be subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. A grant of Dividend Unit Rights may provide that
such Dividend Unit Rights shall be subject to the same vesting and payment provisions as the tandem Award or be subject to such other provisions and restrictions as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. 

ARTICLE VIII 

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 SECTION 8.1 Grant of SARs. The Board may from time to time, in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan and subject to other terms and conditions as the Board may determine, grant
a SAR to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Eligible Director. SARs may be granted in tandem with an Option, in which event, the Participant has the right to elect to exercise either the SAR or the Option. Upon the Participant’s election to
exercise one of these Awards, the other tandem Award is automatically terminated. SARs may also be granted as an independent Award separate from an Option. Each grant of a SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement executed by the Company and the
Participant and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such form as the Board may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements of the Plan. The exercise price of the SAR shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the Date of Grant of the SAR. 
 SECTION 8.2 Exercise and Payment. SARs granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable in whole or in installments and at such times as shall be provided by the Board in the Award Agreement. Exercise of a SAR shall be by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at least two business days in advance of such exercise.
The amount payable with respect to each SAR shall be equal in value to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR. Payment of amounts attributable to a SAR shall be
made in cash or in shares of Common Stock, as provided by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.3
Restrictions. In the event a SAR is granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, the Board shall subject the SAR to restrictions necessary to ensure satisfaction of the requirements under Section 422 of the Code. In the case of a
SAR granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option to an Eligible Employee who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or its Subsidiaries or a “parent corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code)
on the date of such grant, the amount payable with respect to each SAR shall be equal in value to the applicable percentage of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the exercise price of
the SAR, which exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted.

Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant, and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such form as the Board may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements of Section 9.2. 

SECTION 9.2 Conditions of Awards. Each Award of Performance Units shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(a) Establishment of Award Terms. Each Award shall state the target, maximum and minimum value of each Performance
Unit payable upon the achievement of performance goals.

shall establish performance targets for each Award for a period of no less than a year based upon some or all of the operational, financial or performance criteria listed in Exhibit A attached, and determine whether the Award is intended to satisfy
the Section 162(m) Requirements, as described in Exhibit A. The Board shall also establish such other terms and conditions as it deems appropriate to such Award. The Award may be paid out in cash or Common Stock as determined in the sole
discretion of the Board.

 PERFORMANCE BONUS

from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may determine, grant a Performance Bonus to certain Eligible Employees selected for participation. The Board will determine the amount that may
be earned as a Performance Bonus in any period of one year or more upon the achievement of a performance target established by the Board. The Board shall select the applicable performance target(s) for each period in which a Performance Bonus is
awarded. The performance target shall be based upon all or some of the operational, financial or performance criteria more specifically listed in Exhibit A attached. The Board or Committee, as the case may be, also will determine whether the Award
is intended to satisfy the Section 162(m) Requirements, as described in Exhibit A. 
 SECTION 10.2 Payment of
Performance Bonus. In order for any Participant to be entitled to payment of a Performance Bonus, the applicable performance target(s) established by the Board must first be obtained or exceeded. Payment of a Performance Bonus shall be made
within 60 days of the Board’s certification that the performance target(s) has been achieved. Payment of a Performance Bonus may be made in cash or shares of Common Stock, as provided by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement.

Awards. The Board may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant Stock Awards of shares of Common Stock not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions to Eligible
Employees, Consultants or Eligible Directors. Stock Awards shall be awarded with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock and at such times during the term of the Plan as the Board shall determine. Each Stock Award shall be subject to an
Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such Stock Award. The Board may in its sole discretion require a Participant to pay a stipulated purchase price for each share of Common Stock covered by a Stock Award. 

SECTION 11.2 Grant of Other Incentive Awards. The Board may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such
other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant Other Incentive Awards to Eligible Employees, Consultants or Eligible Directors. Other Incentive Awards may be granted based upon, payable in or otherwise related to, in whole or in part, shares
of Common Stock if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such Other Incentive Awards are consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may include, but are not limited to, Common Stock awarded as a bonus, dividend equivalents,
convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, purchase rights for Common Stock, Awards with value and payment contingent upon the Company’s performance or any other factors designated
by the Board, and awards valued by reference to the book value of Common Stock or the value of securities of or the performance of specified subsidiaries. Long-term cash Awards also may be made under the Plan. Cash Awards also may be granted as an
element of or a supplement to any Awards permitted under the Plan. Awards may also be granted in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensation arrangements, subject to any applicable
provision under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Each grant of an Other Incentive Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the amount of the Other Incentive Award and the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations
applicable to such Award. Payment of Other Incentive Awards shall be made at such times and in such form, which may be cash, shares of Common Stock or other property (or a combination thereof), as established by the Board, subject to the terms of
the Plan. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 STOCK ADJUSTMENTS 
 SECTION 12.1 Recapitalizations and Reorganizations. In the
event that the shares of Common Stock, as constituted on the effective date of the Plan, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by
reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, spin-off, combination of shares or otherwise), or if the number of such shares of Common Stock shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend, or a
dividend on the shares of Common Stock, or if rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be issued to holders of all outstanding Common Stock, then the maximum number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan, the 

  
 16 

 
maximum number and kind of shares of Common Stock for which any individual may receive Awards in any calendar year under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of Common Stock covered by
outstanding Awards, and the price per share or the applicable market value or performance target of such Awards will be appropriately adjusted by the Board to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of,
issued shares of Common Stock to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights under such Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance as Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be adjusted only in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 422 and 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and (ii) outstanding Awards and Award Agreements shall be
adjusted in accordance with (A) Sections 422 and 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to Incentive Stock Options and (B) Section 409A with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options, SARs and, to the extent
applicable, other Awards. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall have
been exchanged, then if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the shares available under and subject to the Plan, or in any Award, theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made
in accordance with such determination. No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by
rounding downward to the nearest whole share. 
 SECTION 12.2 Adjustments Upon Change of Control Event. Upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the Board, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Participant or holder of the Award, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, may take any one or more of the following actions in
connection with such Change in Control Event: 
 (a) provide for either (i) the termination of any Award in
exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of such transaction or event the
Board determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Board without payment) or (ii) the replacement of such Award with other
rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; 
 (b) provide that such Award be assumed by a
successor or survivor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or be exchanged for similar rights or awards covering the equity of the successor or survivor, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of equity interests and prices; 
 (c) make adjustments in the number and type of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Awards or in the terms and conditions of, and the vesting criteria included in, outstanding Awards, or both; 

(d) provide that such Award shall be payable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award
Agreement; and/or 

  
 17 

 (e) provide that the Award cannot become payable after such event, i.e.,
shall terminate upon such event. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such action contemplated under this Section shall be effective only to
the extent that such action will not cause any Award that is designed to satisfy Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy such section. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 GENERAL 

SECTION 13.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. In addition, the
Board may, from time to time, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without shareholder approval adopt any amendment which would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan (except by operation of
Article XII), (ii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (iii) materially increase the benefits to Participants provided by the Plan. 

SECTION 13.2 Transferability. The Board may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Nonqualified Stock Options
granted under this Plan to be on terms which permit transfer by the Participant to (i) the ex-spouse of the Participant pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, (ii) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant
(“Immediate Family Members”), (iii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iv) a partnership or limited liability company in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or
members. In addition there may be no consideration for any such transfer. The Award Agreement pursuant to which such Nonqualified Stock Options are granted expressly provides for transferability in a manner consistent with this paragraph. Subsequent
transfers of transferred Nonqualified Stock Options shall be prohibited except as set forth below in this Section 13.2. Following transfer, any such Nonqualified Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as
were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of Section 5.2(c)(ii) or similar provisions of an Award Agreement the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The events of termination
of employment of Section 5.2(c)(ii) or similar provisions of an Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant, following which the Nonqualified Stock Options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to
the extent, and for the periods specified in Section 5.2(c)(ii). No transfer pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer together
with such other documents regarding the transfer as the Board shall request. With the exception of a transfer in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.2, all other types of Awards authorized under this Plan shall be
transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution; however, no such transfer shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Board has been furnished with written notice of such transfer and an authenticated copy of the will and/or
such other evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and conditions of such Award. 
 SECTION 13.3 Withholding Taxes. Unless otherwise paid by the Participant, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliated Entities shall be entitled to deduct from any

  
 18 

 
payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, may require
the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment, and shall be entitled to deduct from any other compensation payable to the Participant any withholding obligations with respect to Awards. In accordance
with any applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Board may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by (i) directing the Company to withhold from any payment of the Award a
number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company previously owned shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the
date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes. However, any payment made by the Participant pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall not be permitted if it would result in an adverse accounting
charge with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Board. 
 SECTION 13.4 Change of
Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Eligible Director shall be immediately vested, fully earned and exercisable upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control Event. 
 SECTION 13.5 Amendments to Awards. Subject to the limitations of Article IV, such as the
prohibition on repricing of Options, the Board may at any time unilaterally amend the terms of any Award Agreement, whether or not presently exercisable or vested, to the extent it deems appropriate. However, amendments which are adverse to the
Participant shall require the Participant’s consent. 
 SECTION 13.6 Regulatory Approval and Listings. In the sole
discretion of the Board, the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and keep continuously effective, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Awards
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Plan prior to the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction of any waiting period or
other condition imposed by, any governmental agency which the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. In addition, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, at such time as the Company
is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Plan prior to: 

(a) the admission of such shares to listing on the stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed; and 

(b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or Federal law or ruling of
any governmental body which the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. 

  
 19 

 SECTION 13.7 Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan shall not give
any Eligible Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Affiliated Entity. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity, the Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity reserves the
right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award. 

SECTION 13.8 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any
report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself or herself. In no event shall any person who is or
shall have been a member of the Board be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to
act, if in good faith. 
 SECTION 13.9 Construction. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer
to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for the convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 

SECTION 13.10 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas except
as superseded by applicable Federal law. 
 SECTION 13.11 Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any
shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the
Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant
Participant, holder or beneficiary. In addition, by accepting or exercising any Award granted under the Plan (or any predecessor plan), the Participant agrees to abide and be bound by any policies adopted by the Company pursuant to Section 954
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or exchange listing standards promulgated thereunder calling for the repayment and/or forfeiture of any Award or payment resulting from an accounting restatement. Such
repayment and/or forfeiture provisions shall apply whether or not the Participant is employed by or affiliated with the Company. 
 SECTION 13.12 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor an Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and
a Participant or any other person. To the extent that a Participant acquires the right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company.

EASTERN TIME, [FIVE YEARS FOLLOWING ISSUANCE OF THE PURCHASE WARRANT].

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT 

For the Purchase of [•] Shares of Common Stock 

of 

U.S. GEOTHERMAL INC. 

1.     Purchase Warrant. THIS CERTIFIES THAT, in
consideration of funds duly paid by or on behalf of Kuhns Brothers Securities
Corporation, the registered holder of this Purchase Warrant or its permitted
assigns (“Holder”), to U.S. Geothermal Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), Holder is entitled, at any time or from time to time from
[180 DAYS FOLLOWING ISSUANCE OF THE PURCHASE WARRANT] (the “Commencement
Date”), and at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, [FIVE YEARS FOLLOWING
ISSUANCE OF THE PURCHASE WARRANT] (the “Expiration Date”), but not
thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to
[•] shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 hereof. If the
Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to
close, then this Purchase Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day
which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein. During the period
ending on the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that
would terminate the Purchase Warrant. This Purchase Warrant is initially
exercisable at $[•] per Share [PRICE THAT IS EQUAL TO 115% OF THE CLOSING SALE
PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK ON THE DAY PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF
THE PURCHASE WARRANT]; provided, however, that upon the occurrence
of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the terms of this Purchase
Warrant, including the exercise price per Share and the number of Shares to be
received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term
“Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted
exercise price, depending on the context.

This Purchase Warrant and any Shares issuable upon exercise
thereof shall be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement. The term
“Registration Statement” shall mean the effective registration statement
on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 333-170202) filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the
registration of shares of the Company’s common stock, including the Shares, and
certain other securities, including the Purchase Warrants, as such Registration
Statement has been or may be amended and supplemented from time to time,
including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference
therein, and including all information deemed to be a part thereof at the time
of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act, including any
comparable successor registration statement filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act for the registration of shares of the
Company’s common stock, including the Shares, and certain other securities,
including the Purchase Warrants. The term “Prospectus” shall mean the
Company’s final base prospectus, dated December 1, 2010, a preliminary form of
which is included in the Registration Statement, including the documents
incorporated by reference therein, as supplemented by any prospectus supplement
to such base prospectus (including the prospectus supplement dated May 22, 2012)
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the documents
incorporated by reference therein. 

2.     Exercise. 

2.1     Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Purchase
Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed
and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of
the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased payable in cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company
or by check. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be
exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this
Purchase Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and
all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

2.2     Cashless Exercise. If and only if the Registration
Statement covering the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant is
not effective or available under the Securities Act at the time of any exercise,
then, in lieu of exercising this Purchase Warrant by payment of cash or check
payable to the order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Holder may
elect to receive the number of Shares equal to the value of this Purchase
Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Purchase
Warrant to the Company, together with the exercise form attached hereto, in
accordance with the following formula: 

X = Y(A-B)

             A

	Where, 	X 	= 	The number of Shares to be issued to Holder;
  
	  	Y 	= 	The number of Shares for which the Purchase
      Warrant is being exercised; 
	  	A 	= 	The fair market value of one Share; and 
	  	B 	= 	The Exercise Price. 

For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a
Share is defined as follows: 

(i)     if the Company’s common stock is traded on a securities
exchange, the fair market value of a Share shall be deemed to be the closing
sale price on such exchange immediately prior to the exercise form being
received by the Company in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Warrant;
or 

(ii)     if the Company’s common stock is actively traded
over-the-counter, the fair market value of a Share shall be deemed to be the
closing bid immediately prior to the exercise form being received by the Company
in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Warrant; if there is no active
public market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the fair market value
thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Purchase
Warrant, the cashless exercise procedure set forth in this Section 2.2 shall be
available only in the event that the Registration Statement covering the Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant is not effective or available
under the Securities Act at the time of any exercise of this Purchase Warrant.

2.3     Legend. Each certificate for the securities
purchased under this Purchase Warrant shall bear a legend as follows unless (i)
such securities have been issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, or (ii) Holder has furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the
certificate for such securities need not bear a legend under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws:

3.     Transfer. 

3.1     General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this
Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder
will not: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase
Warrant for a period of one year following the date of issuance of this Purchase
Warrant (the “Issuance Date”) to anyone other than: (i) Kuhns Brothers
Securities Corporation (“KBSC”) or a selected dealer participating in the
offering covered by the Registration Statement, or (ii) a bona fide officer or
partner of KBSC or of any such selected dealer, in each case in accordance with
FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(g)(1), or (b) cause this Purchase Warrant or the
securities issuable hereunder to be the subject of any hedging, short sale,
derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic
disposition of this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder, except as
provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(2). On and after one year after the Issuance
Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions
from the Securities Act and applicable securities laws. In order to make any
permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form
attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Purchase Warrant
and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The
Company shall within five (5) Business Days of receiving all of the materials
described in the preceding sentence transfer this Purchase Warrant on the books
of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant or Purchase
Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the
right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such
portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

3.2     Restrictions Imposed by the Securities Act. The
securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant and the securities issuable upon
exercise thereof shall not be transferred unless: (i) the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus are current and available for issuances and sales of such
securities, or (ii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the
Holder that such securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the
availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Friedman
Ference LLP shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the availability of an
exemption).

4.     Effective Registration Statement; Current Prospectus.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration
Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act,
and to keep the Registration Statement and the Prospectus current and available
for issuances and sales of the Shares by the Company to Holder upon exercise of
this Purchase Warrant at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which
all Shares issuable pursuant to this Purchase Warrant have been validly issued
by the Company to Holder and (ii) the Expiration Date (the “Registration
Period”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the
Registration Period, the Company shall (a) take all action necessary to cause
its common stock to continue to be registered as a class of securities under
Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), shall comply with its reporting and filing obligations
under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document
(whether or not permitted by the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such
registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations
under the Exchange Act, and (b) prepare and file with the Commission, at the
Company’s expense, such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) to the Registration Statement and such prospectus
supplements to the base prospectus contained therein pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act, in each case, as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the
Securities Act, and to keep the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
current and available for issuances and sales of the Shares by the Company to
Holder in accordance with the Purchase Warrant at all times during the
Registration Period (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company
shall prepare and file with the Commission, at the Company’s expense,
immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the
Registration Statement (the “Renewal Date”), a new Registration Statement
relating to the Shares issuable by the Company to Holder in accordance with this
Purchase Warrant and, if such Registration Statement is not an automatic shelf
registration statement on Form S-3ASR, use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the
Renewal Date). Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
itself, the Shares and Purchase Warrants held by it and the intended method of
distribution thereof, if applicable, as shall be reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any such amendment to
the Registration Statement (or new Registration Statement) or any such
prospectus supplement, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any such amendment to the Registration Statement (or new Registration
Statement) or any such prospectus supplement.

5.     New Purchase Warrants to be Issued. 

5.1     Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the
restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or
assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof
in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together
with the duly completed and executed exercise or assignment form and funds
sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder
without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in
the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number
of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been
exercised or assigned.

5.2     Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the
posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant
of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as
a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a
substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

6.     Adjustments. 

6.1     Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of
Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying the
Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
set forth:

6.1.1     Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the Issuance
Date, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of
outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a
split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof,
the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to
such increase in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased.

6.1.2     Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof,
and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding
Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of
Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number
of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding Shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately
increased.

6.1.3     Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization,
etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
Shares other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that
solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share
reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or
amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does
not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares),
or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in
connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase
Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of
exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the
same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event,
the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share
reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution
following any such sale or transfer, by a holder of the number of Shares of the
Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to
such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares
covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant
to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3. The provisions of this Section
6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations,
share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations, sales or other
transfers.

6.1.4     Changes in Purchase Warrant. This Purchase Warrant
need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 6.1, and any
Purchase Warrants issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and
the same number of Shares as are stated in this Purchase Warrant. The acceptance
by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Warrants reflecting a required or
permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Issuance Date
or the computation thereof.

- 4 - 

6.2     Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of
the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or
share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by
such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and
deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder
of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the
right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to
receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or
share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the
Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately
prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or
transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Warrant shall provide for adjustments which
shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The above
provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or
share reconstructions or amalgamations.

6.3     Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company
shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of Shares
upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue
scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of
the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any
fraction up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole number of Shares
or other securities, properties or rights.

7.     Reservation and Listing. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Shares, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants, such number of
Shares or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the
Purchase Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, in accordance with
the terms hereby, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject
to preemptive rights of any shareholder. The Company further covenants and
agrees that upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and payment of the exercise
price therefor, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject
to preemptive rights of any shareholder. As long as the Purchase Warrants shall
be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause all Shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants to be listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) on all national securities exchanges
(or, if applicable, on the OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market)
on which the Shares issued to the public in the offering covered by the
Registration Statement may then be listed and/or quoted. 

8.     Certain Notice Requirements. 

8.1     Holder’s Right to Receive Notice. Nothing herein
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or consent or
to receive notice as a shareholder for the election of directors or any other
matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If,
however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Warrants and their
exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one
or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at
least fifteen days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of
closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to
such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or
subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy
of each notice given to the other shareholders of the Company at the same time
and in the same manner that such notice is given to the shareholders.

8.2     Events Requiring Notice. The Company shall be
required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the
following events: (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution
payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting
treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, (ii) the
Company shall offer to all the holders of its Shares any additional shares of
capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any
option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a
consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.

- 5 - 

8.3     Notice of Change in Exercise Price. The Company
shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant
to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holder of such event and change
(“Price Notice”). The Price Notice shall describe the event causing the
change and the method of calculating same and shall be certified as being true
and accurate by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

8.4     Transmittal of Notices. All notices, requests,
consents and other communications under this Purchase Warrant shall be in
