 ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

        This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the SEC, using a "shelf" registration process on Form S-3. Under the shelf registration, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $20,000,000.

        The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit from this prospectus certain information that is included in the registration statement. For further information about us and our securities, you should review the registration statement and the exhibits filed with the registration statement. In addition, the SEC allows us to incorporate by reference into this prospectus information in the reports and other documents that we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those reports and other documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that we later file with the SEC will automatically update and, where applicable, modify or supersede that information. You may read the registration statement (including its exhibits) and the reports and other documents that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov , or at the SEC’s Public Reference Room described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information”.

        This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may offer.

The prospectus supplement also may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment in our securities. See "Where You Can Find More Information" below for more information. We may use this prospectus to sell securities only if it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

        You should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained or incorporated in this prospectus. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should not assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference is accurate at any date other than as of the date of each such document, even though this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date indicated on the cover page of such documents. The distribution of this prospectus may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. You should inform yourself about and observe any of these restrictions. This prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which the offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation.

        This prospectus and the related prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they relate,



4



nor do this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


        Certain statements contained in this Form S-3 constitute “forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and Section 27A of the Exchange Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form S-3 that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such matters as oil and natural gas reserves, future drilling and operations, future production of oil and natural gas, future net cash flows, future capital expenditures and other such matters, are forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, the following:  the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, the Company’s drilling and acquisition results, the Company’s ability to replace reserves, the availability of capital resources, the reliance upon estimates of proved reserves, operating hazards and uninsured risks, competition, government regulation, the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and other factors referenced in this prospectus.  

        Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be certain that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Disclosure of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our plans, intentions or expectations are included under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

        For example, a few of the uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements, besides the specific factors identified above in the Risk Factors section of this prospectus, include:


 

·

adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally;

  

  

·

difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets;


  

·

changes in domestic and global demand for oil and natural gas;

  

  

·

volatility in the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas;

  

  

·

operational constraints and potential mechanical failure at production facilities, processing plants or pipelines;

  

  

·

the availability of sufficient pipeline and transportation facilities;

  

  

·

the effects of government regulation, permitting and other legal requirements;

  

  

·

future developments with respect to the quality of our properties, including, among other things, the existence of reserves in economic quantities;

  

  

·

uncertainties about the estimates of our oil and natural gas reserves;

  

  

·

our ability to increase our production and oil and natural gas income through exploration and development;

  

  

·

our ability to successfully apply horizontal drilling techniques and tertiary recovery methods;

  

  

·

the number of well locations to be drilled, the cost to drill and the time frame within which they will be drilled;

  

  

·

drilling and operating risks;

  

  

·

the availability of equipment, such as drilling rigs and gathering and transportation pipelines;

  

  

·

changes in our drilling plans and related budgets; and

  

  

·

the adequacy of our capital resources and liquidity including, but not limited to, access to additional borrowing capacity.


        In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus, particularly in view of our early stage of operations, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.        

        Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us. We may note additional factors elsewhere in this prospectus and in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

OUR BUSINESS


     FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), was formed on March 11, 1980, to acquire and enhance mature oil and natural gas field production in the mid-continent and the Rocky Mountain regions. Since 1980, the Company had engaged in oil and natural gas operations and, in 1986, divested all oil and natural gas assets and operations.  From December 1986, until its reverse acquisition on December 31, 1997, the Company had not engaged in oil and natural gas operations.


     As of December 31, 2015, the Company had varying ownership interest in 476 gross productive wells (93.28 net) located in five states, including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Louisiana.  The Company operates 13 of the 476 wells; the other wells are operated by independent operators under contracts that are standard in the industry.  It is a primary objective of the Company to operate some of the oil and natural gas properties in which it has an economic interest, and the Company will also partner with larger oil and natural gas companies to operate certain oil and natural gas properties in which the Company has an economic interest.  The Company believes, with the responsibility and authority as operator, it is in a better position to control cost, safety, and timeliness of work as well as other critical factors affecting the economics of a well.

RISK FACTORS


      Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, in addition to the other information in this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as the same may be updated from time to time by our subsequent filings with the SEC. You should also carefully consider any additional risks that are described in the prospectus supplement related to the offering of our securities. If one or more of these risks materializes, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. In that event, the value of our securities could decline.


DILUTION

     The net tangible book value of the Company at September 30, 2015 was $10,857,152, or $1.22 per share, based upon 8,880,101 shares outstanding. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the number of outstanding shares of common stock into the net tangible book value of the Company (total assets less total liabilities and intangible assets).

     If any securities in the form of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable to purchase common stock (collectively “Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents”) are sold under this prospectus, the number of common shares outstanding will increase and the Company's net tangible book value will increase. The sale of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a price per share which is greater than the Company's net tangible book value per share will increase the net tangible book value per share of shares held by the then current shareholders and decrease the net tangible book value per share of the shares purchased pursuant to the sale of securities under this prospectus. Dilution is the reduction of value of the purchaser's investment measured by the difference between the effective price per share of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent sold under this prospectus and the net tangible book value per share after the Offering. The dilution per share will decrease with the sale of additional securities under this prospectus because the proceeds from each such sale will increase the Company's net tangible book value.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production and other business opportunities, the acquisition, exploration and development of additional companies, properties or interests. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we expect to invest the proceeds in investment grade, interest-bearing securities.

LEGAL OWNERSHIP AND BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE

  

        In this section, we describe special considerations that will apply to registered securities issued in global—i.e., book-entry—form. First we describe the difference between legal ownership and indirect ownership of registered securities. Then we describe special provisions that apply to global securities.

  

Who is the Legal Owner of a Registered Security?


         Each debt security, share of common stock or warrant in registered form will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. We refer to those who have securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee or other agent maintain for this purpose, as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect owners.


Book-Entry Owners

  

       We expect to issue debt securities in book-entry form only. We may issue shares of common stock in book-entry form. This means those securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary's book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

  

     Under each indenture or other applicable agreement, only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and we will make all payments on the securities, including deliveries of common in exchange for exchangeable debt securities, to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.

  

      As a result, investors will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary's book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities.

  

Street Name Owners

  

     In the future we may terminate a global security or issue securities initially in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or



11



other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.

  

      For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities and we will make all payments on those securities, including deliveries of common in exchange for exchangeable debt securities, to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect owners, not holders, of those securities.

  

Legal Holders

  

       Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee under any indenture and the obligations, if any, of any other third parties employed by us, the trustee or any agents, run only to the holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect owner of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.

  

      For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for that payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect owners but does not do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose—e.g., to amend the indenture for a series of debt securities or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture—we would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect owners is up to the holders.

  

      When we refer to “you” in this section of the prospectus, we mean those who invest in the securities being offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, whether they are the holders or only indirect owners of those securities. When we refer to “your securities” in this section of the prospectus, we mean the securities in which you will hold a direct or indirect interest.

  

Special Considerations for Indirect Owners

  

       If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

  

  

·

how it handles securities payments and notices;

  

  

·

whether it imposes fees or charges;

  

  

·

how it would handle a request for the holders' consent, if ever required;

  

  

·

whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future;

  



12





  

·

how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and

  

  

·

if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary's rules and procedures will affect these matters.

  

 What is a Global Security?

  

        A global security is issued in book-entry form only. Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of one or more financial institutions or clearing systems, or their nominees, which we select. A financial institution or clearing system that we select for any security for this purpose is called the “depositary” for that security. A security will usually have only one depositary but it may have more.

  

        Each series of these securities will have one or more of the following as the depositaries:

  

  

·

The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, which is known as “DTC”;

  

  

·

a financial institution holding the securities on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear system, which is known as “Euroclear”;

  

  

·

a financial institution holding the securities on behalf of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg, which is known as “Clearstream”; and

  

  

·

any other clearing system or financial institution named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

  

       The depositaries named above may also be participants in one another's systems. Thus, for example, if DTC is the depositary for a global security, investors may hold beneficial interests in that security through Euroclear or Clearstream, as DTC participants. The depositary or depositaries for your securities will be named in your prospectus supplement; if none is named, the depositary will be DTC.

  

       A global security may represent one or any other number of individual securities. Generally, all securities represented by the same global security will have the same terms. We may, however, issue a global security that represents multiple securities of the same kind, such as debt securities, that have different terms and are issued at different times. We call this kind of global security a master global security. Your prospectus supplement will indicate whether your securities are represented by a master global security.

  

       A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary or its nominee, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “—Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated”.  As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only indirect interests in a global security. Indirect interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is



13



represented by a global security will not be a holder of the security, but only an indirect owner of an interest in the global security.

  

      If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued in global form only, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. We describe the situations in which this can occur below under “—Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated”. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.


Special Considerations for Global Securities


        As an indirect owner, an investor's rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the depositary and those of the investor's financial institution or other intermediary through which it holds its interest (e.g., Euroclear or Clearstream, if DTC is the depositary), as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize this type of investor or any intermediary as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

  

        If securities are issued only in the form of a global security, an investor should be aware of the following:

  

  

·

An investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her own name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;

  

  

·

An investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above under “—Who is the Legal Owner of a Registered Security?”;

  

  

·

An investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;

  

  

·

An investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in a global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;

  

  

·

The depositary's policies will govern payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to an investor's interest in a global security, and those policies may change from time to time. We, the trustee and any agents will have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary's policies, actions or records of ownership interests in a global security. We, the trustee and any agents also do not supervise the depositary in any way;

  



14





  

·

The depositary will require that those who purchase and sell interests in a global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and

  

  

·

Financial institutions that participate in the depositary's book-entry system and through which an investor holds its interest in the global securities, directly or indirectly, may also have their own policies affecting payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the securities, and those policies may change from time to time. For example, if you hold an interest in a global security through Euroclear or Clearstream, when DTC is the depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, will require those who purchase and sell interests in that security through them to use immediately available funds and comply with other policies and procedures, including deadlines for giving instructions as to transactions that are to be effected on a particular day. There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the policies or actions or records of ownership interests of any of those intermediaries.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may sell the securities offered by means of this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement directly to one or more purchasers, through agents, or through underwriters or dealers designated from time to time. We may distribute such securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices (which may be changed from time to time), at market prices prevailing at the times of sale, at prices related to these prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may offer securities in the same offering, or we may offer securities in separate offerings. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the offering of our securities, including:

•the offeror of the securities;

•the terms of the securities to which the prospectus supplement relates;

•the name or names of any underwriters;

•the purchase price of the securities (if then known) and the proceeds to be received from the sale;

•any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters' compensation; and

•any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.


       The securities offered by us may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at:

  

  

a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

  

 

 

 

  

  

market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

  

 

 

 

  

  

prices related to the prevailing market prices;

  

 

 

 

  

  

varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

  

 

 

 

  

  

negotiated prices.

          

         We may sell and distribute securities offered by this prospectus in “at the market” offerings within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act.


         We may solicit directly offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time.

 

          If we utilize one or more dealers in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealers, as principal. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealers at the time of resale.

          If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated



16



transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase securities will be subject to the conditions precedent agreed to by the parties and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities of a class or series if any are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

        During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the offered securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the offered securities. As a result, the price of the offered securities may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE MKT or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        Securities may be sold directly by us or through agents or underwriters designated by us from time to time. We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by eligible institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of securities offered by means of this prospectus, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the offered securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit realized by them upon the resale of the offered securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act.

        Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against some civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make relating to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

        In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

        Each class or series of securities other than the common stock will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any securities.

The common stock, the warrants, the debt and convertible debt securities, the rights and the units collectively are referred to in this prospectus as the “securities”.


          We have summarized below the material terms of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the detailed terms of the securities offered by that supplement. If indicated in the prospectus supplement, the terms of the offered securities may differ from the terms summarized below.

        Holders of our common stock may receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board on the common stock, subject to the preferential dividend rights of any other classes or series of shares of our company. In no event may a dividend be declared or paid on the common stock if payment of the dividend would cause the realizable value of our assets to be less than the aggregate of our liabilities and the amount required to redeem all of the shares having redemption or retraction rights that are then outstanding.

Voting and Other Rights

        Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and in general, all matters will be determined by a majority of votes cast, other than the election of directors as discussed below. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to pre-emptive rights.

18



number of votes cast are elected as directors, up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the meeting.

Liquidation

        In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, holders of our common stock have the right to a ratable portion of the assets remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any preferred stock or other securities that may then be outstanding.

Other Provisions

        All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares offered by this prospectus or obtainable on exercise or conversion of other securities offered hereby, if issued in the manner described in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

        You should read the prospectus supplement relating to any offering of common stock, or of securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for common stock, for the terms of the offering, including the number of shares offered, the initial offering price and market prices relating to the shares.

        This section is a summary and may not describe every aspect of our common stock that may be important to you. We urge you to read our articles of incorporation, and our bylaws because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of our common stock. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for information on how to obtain copies of these documents.

Stock Transfer Agent and Registrar

        Computershare Trust Company, Inc., in Golden, Colorado is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

          We may offer and sell warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The warrants may be issued independently or as a part of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock. If the warrants are issued pursuant to warrant agreements, we will so specify in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants being offered pursuant to the prospectus supplement.


          The following description will apply to the warrants offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may specify different or additional terms. The forms of any warrant

the procedures for exercising the warrants;

  

 

 

 

  

  

the terms on which the warrants may be amended;

20



          Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Upon our receipt of the exercise price of the warrants upon the due exercise of the warrants, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.


 DESCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES AND DEBT SECURITIES

        This prospectus describes certain general terms and provisions of our debt securities and convertible debt securities that we may offer from time to time. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities or convertible debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. If there are any differences between the applicable prospectus supplement and this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement will control.  As a result, the statements we make in this section may not apply to the debt security or convertible debt security that you purchase. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no outstanding registered debt securities.

        The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a duly qualified financial institution, as trustee. Any such indenture entered into by us will be governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“Trust Indenture Act”). Unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities or convertible debt securities will be our direct, senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness. We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. The summary may not contain all the terms that are important to you. You should read the form of the indenture that has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the indenture.

General

        The terms of each series of debt securities or convertible debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in an officer's certificate or by a supplemental indenture. The particular terms of each series of debt securities or convertible debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series.

        The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities or convertible debt securities that we may issue under the indenture. The debt securities or convertible debt securities may be issued in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities or convertible debt securities being offered the aggregate principal amount, prices and terms of the securities. These terms may include:

• the title of the debt securities;

• the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which we will sell the debt securities;



21



• any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

• the date or dates on which we will pay the principal on the debt securities;

• the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum or the method used to determine the rate or rates (including any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the debt securities will bear interest, the date or dates from which interest will accrue, the date or dates on which interest will commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;

• the place or places where principal, premium and interest payments may be made on the debt securities;

• the currency or currencies in which the debt securities are issued and payable;

• the conversion or exchange provisions applicable to the debt securities;

• any mandatory or optional redemption provisions applicable to the debt securities;

• any sinking fund or analogous provisions applicable to the debt securities;

• the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;

• whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of certificated debt securities or global debt securities;

• the portion of principal amount of the debt securities payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date, if other than the entire principal amount;

• any provisions relating to any security provided for in the debt securities;

• any additions or changes to, or deletions from, the events of default, covenants or acceleration provisions applicable to the debt securities;

• the trustee for the series of debt securities and any depositories, interest rate calculation agents, exchange rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to the debt securities; and,

• any other specific terms of the debt securities, which may modify or delete any provision of the indenture as it applies to that series.

        We may issue debt securities or convertible debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture.

        If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities or convertible debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities or convertible debt securities is payable in a



22



foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities or convertible debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        Each debt security or convertible debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as depositary, or a nominee (we refer to any debt security or convertible debt security represented by a global debt security as a "book-entry debt security"), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a "certificated debt security") as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading "Book-Entry Debt Securities" below, debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

Book-Entry Debt Securities

        Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the depositary, and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. The depositary has indicated it intends to follow the following procedures with respect to book-entry debt securities.

        Ownership of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities will be limited to persons that have accounts with the depositary for the related global debt security, which we refer to as participants, or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global debt security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants' accounts with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities.

        So long as the depositary for a global debt security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of that global debt security, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and will not be considered the owners or holders of those securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person beneficially owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of the depositary for the related global debt security and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.

        We understand, however, that under existing industry practice, the depositary will authorize the persons on whose behalf it holds a global debt security to exercise certain rights of holders of debt



23



securities, and the indenture provides that we, the trustee and our respective agents will treat as the holder of a debt security the persons specified in a written statement of the depositary with respect to that global debt security for purposes of obtaining any consents or directions required to be given by holders of the debt securities pursuant to the indenture.

        We will make payments of principal of, and premium and interest on, book-entry debt securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the related global debt security. FieldPoint Petroleum, the trustee and any other agent of ours or agent of the trustee will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests.

        We expect that the depositary, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, a global debt security, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective amounts of book-entry debt securities held by each participant as shown on the records of such depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities held through those participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of those participants.

        We will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for each global debt security if the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have the book-entry debt securities of any series represented by one or more global debt securities and, in that event, will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for the global debt securities of that series. Global debt securities will also be exchangeable by the holders for certificated debt securities if an event of default with respect to the book-entry debt securities represented by those global debt securities has occurred and is continuing. Any certificated debt securities issued in exchange for a global debt security will be registered in such name or names as the depositary shall instruct the trustee. We expect that such instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of book-entry debt securities relating to such global debt security.

        We have obtained the foregoing information concerning the depositary and the depositary's book-entry system from sources we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

Certificated Debt Securities

        You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

        You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate



24



representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

No Protection In the Event of a Change in Control

        Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

Covenants

        We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following covenant will apply to all debt securities.

        Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.     We may not, unless the terms of debt securities provide otherwise, consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person, which we refer to as a successor person, unless:

• we are the surviving corporation, or the surviving entity (if other than FieldPoint Petroleum, Inc.) or the acquiror of our properties and assets is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations under the debt securities and the indenture;

• immediately prior to and after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture; and,

• certain other conditions are met.


Events of Default

        Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture defines an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities, as one or more of the following:

• default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days;

• default in the payment of principal of any debt security of that series when due and payable;

• an event of default occurs and is continuing, or the failure by us to comply with any of the agreements contained in the debt securities of that series or the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or from the holders of not less than 50% in principal



25



amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

• certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of our company; and

• any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

        No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under other indebtedness in existence from time to time, including bank debt, if any. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

        If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 50% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such lesser amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

        Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series. The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of outstanding debt securities if the request conflicts with law or the indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of another holder of debt securities of that series, or may involve the trustee in personal liability.

        No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:



26



• that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt securities of that series; and,

• the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any debt security's right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder.

        The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any default or event of default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

Modification and Waiver

        FieldPoint Petroleum and the trustee as to any series of debt securities may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series affected may also waive compliance in a particular instance with any provision of the indenture. Nevertheless, in no event may a modification, amendment or waiver, without the consent of each holder of each series of affected debt security then outstanding:

• reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

• reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of a sinking fund or analogous provision;

• reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

• reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or waive a redemption payment or alter the redemption provisions with respect thereto;

• make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in a currency other than that stated in the debt security;

• reduce the principal amount of original issue discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;



27



• make any change to the provisions of the indenture relating to the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after such debt security has become due and to waivers or amendments; or,

• waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration).

        Subject to the limitations discussed above, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any existing or past default or event of default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

        Legal Defeasance.   The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or United States government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than United States dollars, foreign government obligations, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

        This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

        Covenant Defeasance.   The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

• we may omit to comply with the covenant described above under the heading "Covenants" and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may



28



be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

• any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series.

        The conditions include:

• depositing with the trustee money and/or United States government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than United States dollars, foreign government obligations, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

• delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

        Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default.   In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities, and the debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default, the amount of money and/or United States government obligations or foreign government obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.

        For purposes of this discussion, "foreign government obligations" means, with respect to debt securities of any series that are denominated in a currency other than United States dollars:

• direct obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency for the payment of which obligations its full faith and credit is pledged which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof; or

• obligations of a person controlled or supervised by or acting as an agency or instrumentality of that government the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by that government which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

Federal Income Tax Consequences and Other Special Considerations

        We will provide you with information on the federal income tax and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

ITEM 15.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


        Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official of the person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met.  At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.


        Our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act.  Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:



33




 

any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders,

 

 

 

 

acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

 

 

 

 

dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions,

 

 

 

 

violations of certain laws, or

 

 

 

 

any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.  Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the Articles.

ITEM 17.    UNDERTAKINGS.

(a)

We hereby undertake:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act");

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;


Provided , however , that...

(B)

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of this Registration Statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


…..

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:



35



(i)

If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities in the Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(ii)

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6)

 That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;



36



(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.


(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

...

(h)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


(i)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

 For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such



37



securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(j)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)2 of the Act.

          Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel to FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “ Registration Statement ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on or about the date of this opinion letter. The Registration Statement relates to the Company’s offer and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, of the following securities of the Company having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000: (1) shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“ Common Stock ”); (2)  warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (“ Warrants ”); and (3) units consisting of Common Stock and/or Warrants in any combination (“ Units ”).

          3. With respect to Units, when (i) the issuance and the terms of the sale of Units have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and (ii) such Units have been issued and delivered against payment of their full purchase price and in accordance with the applicable purchase, underwriting, or similar agreement and the terms of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, such Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

2.2

WARRANT SHARES.  Except as provided in Section 3.4 hereof, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be issued only on or after the Exercise Date upon exercise of the Warrants or upon transfer or exchange of the Warrant Shares following exercise of the Warrants.



SECTION 3

FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE


3.1

FORM OF CERTIFICATES.  The Warrant Certificates shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.  The Warrant Certificates shall be dated as of the date of issuance, whether on initial issuance, transfer, exchange or in lieu of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.


3.2

EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES.  The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President and Secretary, by manual signatures or by facsimile signatures printed thereon, and shall have imprinted thereon a facsimile of the Company's seal.  If any person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate as the signature of an officer of the Company shall have ceased to be such officer before such Warrant Certificate is countersigned, issued and delivered, such Warrant Certificate may be countersigned, issued and delivered with the same effect as if such person had not ceased to be such officer.  Any Warrant Certificate may be signed by, or may bear the facsimile signature of, any person who at the actual date of the preparation of such Warrant Certificate shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate even though such person was not such an officer upon the date of this Agreement.

3.4

MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATE.  In case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrant Holder, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate or certificates, or in lieu of and substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and a bond of indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount, at the applicant's cost.  Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.


3.5

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATE.  Any Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrant Holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled such Warrant Holder to purchase.  Any Warrant Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed, the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be so exchanged.  Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new Warrant Certificate as so requested.



SECTION 4

TERM OF WARRANTS; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS


4.1

EXERCISE OF WARRANT.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant Holder shall have the right, at any time during the Exercise Period, to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Agreement, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent, at its principal office, of the certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, together with the purchase form on the reverse thereof,  duly filled in and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised, but in no event for less than 100 Shares (unless fewer than an aggregate of 100 shares are then purchasable under all outstanding Warrants held by a Warrant Holder).


4.2

PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash,  check, wire transfer, electronic funds transfer or any combination thereof.


4.3

DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATE.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9, upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate with the exercise form thereon duly executed, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased by such exercise, the Warrant Agent shall requisition from the Company's transfer agent (which transfer agent may be the Warrant Agent pursuant to its appointment therefor separately from this Agreement), certificates for Warrant Shares and upon receipt shall make delivery of certificates evidencing the total number of whole Warrant Shares for which Warrants are then being exercised, together with cash as provided in Section 4.7 hereof in respect of any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender.  The certificates shall be in such names and denominations as are required for delivery to, or in accordance with the instructions of the Warrant Holder; provided that if fewer than all Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of a Warrant Certificate are purchased, the Warrant Agent




4


(if so requested) shall issue such balance Warrant Certificate for the balance of the Warrant Shares.  Such certificates for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued, and the person to whom such Warrant Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares, as of the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, whichever shall last occur; provided further that if the books of the Company with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be closed as of such date, the certificates for such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued, and the person to whom such Warrant Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a record holder of such Warrant Shares, as of the date on which such books shall next be open (whether before, on or after the applicable Expiration Date) but at the Exercise Price and upon the other conditions in effect upon the date of surrender of the Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, whichever shall have last occurred, to the Warrant Agent.


4.4

CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATES.  All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled.


4.5

DELIVERY OF PROCEEDS OF EXERCISE.  Within two days after the receipt thereof in cleared funds, the Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company all proceeds received from Warrant Holders on exercise of the Warrants.


4.6

REGISTRATION STATEMENT.  If any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants require the maintenance of a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with respect to such Warrant Shares before such Warrant Shares may be validly and lawfully issued, the Company will in good faith endeavor to maintain  such current registration statement under the Act, provided that in no event shall such Warrant Shares be issued, and the Company shall have the authority to suspend the exercise of any or all  Warrants while such registration statement is not current.  Similarly, a Warrant Holder residing in a state where a required registration or governmental approval of issuance of the Warrant Shares is not in effect as of or has not been obtained within a reasonable time after the surrender date of the Warrant Certificate for exercise shall not be entitled to exercise Warrants unless in the opinion  of counsel such registration or approval in such state shall not be required, or the Company authorizes issuance.  In such event, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to transfer the Warrants to others, but only prior to the Expiration Date for the Warrants being transferred.


4.7

FRACTIONAL SHARES.  On exercise of the Warrants by the Warrant Holders, the Company shall not be required to deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price of such fraction, computed on the trading day immediately preceding the day upon which such Warrant Certificate was surrendered for exercise. By accepting a Warrant Certificate, the holder thereof expressly waives any right to receive a Warrant Certificate evidencing any fraction of a Warrant or to receive any fractional share of securities upon exercise of a Warrant, except as expressly provided in this Section 4.7.


4.8

STATUS AS SHAREHOLDER.  Upon receipt of the Warrant Certificate by the Company as described in this Section, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company may then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares may not have been prepared or actually delivered to the holder.






5


SECTION 5

REDEMPTION


5.1

RIGHT TO REDEEM.  The Company may, at its option, redeem the Warrants in whole or in part on a pro rata basis for a redemption price of $.01 per Warrant (the "Redemption Price") on 30 days prior written notice to the Warrant Holders.  The right to redeem the Warrants may be exercised by the Company only in the event (i) the closing sale price, as the case may be, for the Common Stock has exceeded the Exercise Price by at least 150% during a period of  20 consecutive trading days preceding the date of mailing of the notice of redemption, (ii) the Company has in effect a current registration statement (or a post-effective amendment to an existing registration statement) with the Commission registering the Warrant Shares, and (iii) the expiration of the 30 days notice period is within the Exercise Period.  In the event the Company exercises its right to redeem the Warrants, the Expiration Date will be deemed to be, and the Warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on, the date fixed for redemption in such notice (the "Redemption Date").  If any Warrant called for redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be exercisable and the Warrant Holder thereof will be entitled only to the Redemption Price.


5.2

TERMINATION OF RIGHTS.  From and after the Redemption Date, all rights of the holders of record of redeemed Warrants (except the right to receive the Redemption Price) shall terminate, but only if (i) no later than one day prior to the Redemption Date the Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Warrant Agent, as paying agent, a sufficient amount to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price for all Warrants called for redemption, and (ii) the notice of redemption shall have stated the name and address of the Warrant Agent and the intention of the company to deposit such amount with the Warrant Agent no later than one day prior to the Redemption Date.


5.3

PAYMENT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.  The Warrant Agent shall pay to the holders of record of redeemed Warrants all amounts received by the Warrant Agent for the redemption of warrants to which the  holders of record of such redeemed Warrants who shall have surrendered their Warrants are entitled.  Any amounts deposited by the Company with the Warrant Agent to pay the Redemption Price for all Warrants called for redemption that are not required for redemption of Warrants may be withdrawn by the Company. Any amounts deposited by the Company with the Warrant Agent to pay the Redemption Price for all Warrants called for redemption that shall be unclaimed six months after the Redemption Date may be withdrawn by the Company, and thereafter the holders of the Warrants called for redemption for which such funds were deposited shall look solely to the Company for payment.  The Company shall be entitled to the interest, if any, on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Holders of redeemed Warrants shall have no right to any such interest.


5.4

FAILURE TO MAKE DEPOSIT.  If the Company fails to make a sufficient deposit with the Warrant Agent as provided above, the Warrant Holder of any Warrants called for redemption may at the option of the holder (i) by notice to the Company declare the notice of redemption a nullity as to such holder, or (ii) maintain an action against the Company for the Redemption Price. If the Warrant Holder brings such an action, the Company will pay the reasonable attorney's fees of the Warrant Holder.  If the Warrant Holder fails to bring an action against the Company for the Redemption Price within 60 days after the Redemption Date, the Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have elected to declare the notice of redemption to be a nullity as to such holder and such notice shall be without any force or effect as to such holder.





6


SECTION 6.

RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES


There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be subject to purchase under the Warrants. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued and delivered to a Warrant Holder upon the exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. Every transfer agent for the Common Stock and other securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares and other securities as shall be requisite for such purpose.  The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with every transfer agent for the Common Stock and other securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.  The Company will supply every such transfer agent with duly executed stock and other certificates, as appropriate, for such purpose and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Sections 4.7 and 7 hereof.


SECTION 7

PAYMENT OF TAXES


The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares and any tax (except federal or state income tax) which may be payable in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.


SECTION 8

WARRANT SHARES TO BE FULLY PAID


The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued and delivered to a Holder of this Warrant upon the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, will be, upon such delivery, validly and duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


SECTION 9

REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER


9.1.

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATE.  A Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrant Holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled such Warrant Holder to purchase.  Any Warrant Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed, the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be so exchanged.  Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new Warrant Certificate as so requested.


9.2

TRANSFER.  The Warrants may be transferred in whole or in part.  Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants to be transferred shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed.  Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the persons entitled thereto the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to which the holder making the transfer and the person to whom the transfer is made are entitled and the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel the surrendered Warrant Certificate.


9.3

OWNERSHIP RECORDS.  The Warrant Agent shall keep books for registration of ownership and transfer of Warrant Certificates.  Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Warrant Certificates and the number of Warrants evidenced by each such Warrant Certificate.  All




7


Warrant Certificates presented for registration of transfer shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent.  On due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant Certificate at such office, the Company shall caused to be executed, issued and delivered to the transferee or transferees a new Warrant Certificate or Certificates representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants.


9.4

OWNERSHIP PRIOR TO PRESENTMENT.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer thereof, the Company may treat the Warrant Holder as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company) and the parties hereto shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.


SECTION 10

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES


The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:


10.1

ADJUSTMENTS.  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustments as follows:


(a)

In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or make a distribution to its stockholders in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock; (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock other securities of the Company; then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 10.1(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of 3 for 2 or greater of its outstanding Common Stock, the Company will effect a corresponding split of the Warrants.


(b)

If, prior to the expiration of the Warrants by exercise, by their terms, or by redemption, the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares with a different par value, or by changing its outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares without par value or in the event of any other material change of the capital structure of the Company or of any successor corporation by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization or conveyance, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby any Warrant Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase, on the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise of any Warrant, such securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on exercise of the Warrants had such reclassification, recapitalization or conveyance not taken place; and in any such event, the rights of any Warrant Holder to any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of such Warrant, as set forth above, shall continue to be preserved in respect of any stock, securities or assets which the Warrant Holder becomes entitled to purchase.

(c)

In case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, without any charge to such holders, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share which is lower at the record date mentioned below than the then Current Market Price, the number of Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of the Options by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares offered would purchase at such Current Market Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately and retroactively to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities.


(d)

In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of earnings) or rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (excluding those referred to in subsection 10.1(b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofor purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Current Market Price on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Current Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subsection 10.1(g)(y) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities applicable to one share.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.


(e)

No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Warrant Shares then purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants or, if the Warrants are not then exercisable, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants on the first date thereafter that the Warrants become exercisable; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 10.1(e) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.


(f)

Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.


(g)

For the purpose of this subsection 10.1, the term "Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any other




9


class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.  In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10, the Warrant Holder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Stock, (y) if the Warrant Holder's right to purchase is on any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company's Common Stock, the Company shall obtain an opinion of an independent investment banking firm valuing such other securities; and (z) thereafter the number of such other securities so purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Section 10.


(h)

Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges, if such shall have not been exercised, the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent the Warrants have not then been exercised, shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as they would have been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (i) the fact that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges, and (ii) the fact that such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, or conversion rights.


10.2

NO ADJUSTMENT FOR DIVIDENDS.  Except as provided in subsection 10.1, no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions out of earnings shall be made during the term of the Warrants or upon the exercise of the Warrants.


10.3

NO ADJUSTMENT IN CERTAIN CASES.  No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 10 in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.  No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 10 in connection with the grant or exercise of presently authorized or outstanding options to purchase, or the issuance of shares, of Common Stock under the Company's director or employee benefit plans disclosed in the Registration Statement.


10.4

PRESERVATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS UPON RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, ETC.    In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property, assets, or business of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an agreement that the Warrant Holder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase, upon exercise of the Warrants, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such action.  In the event of a merger described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to purchase Warrant Shares under the Warrants shall terminate on the date of such merger and thereupon the Warrants shall become null and void, but only if the controlling corporation




10


shall agree to substitute for the Warrants, its Warrants which entitle the holder thereof to purchase upon their exercise the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such merger.  Any such agreements referred to in this subsection 10.4 shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.  The provisions of this subsection 10.4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.


10.5

VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE COMPANY.  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant (i) extend the Expiration Date or (ii) reduce (but not increase) the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to the following:


(a)

Any reduction of the Exercise Price must be effective for a minimum period of ten (10) business days.


(b)

The Company shall provide the NYSE Amex with advance written notice of any extension of the Expiration Date at least two months prior to the effective date of such extension.


10.6

PAR VALUE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.  Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise Price allocable to each Warrant Share below the par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants.


10.7

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.  The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 10, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 10.


10.8

STATEMENT ON WARRANT CERTIFICATES.  Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Warrant Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of securities as are stated in the similar Warrant Certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.  However, the Company may, at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive), make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange or substitution for, an outstanding Warrant Certificate, may be in the form so changed.


10.9

OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE.  Whenever the Exercise Price or that aggregate number of Warrant Securities purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of this Section 10, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an officers' certificate executed by the Company's President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, describing the adjustment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the facts requiring such adjustment and the basis for and calculation of such adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.  Each such officers' certificate shall be made available to the Holders for inspection at all reasonable times, and the Company, after each such adjustment, shall promptly deliver a copy of the officers' certificate relating to that adjustment to the Holders.  If the




11


officers' certificate is not accompanied by the Certificate described in Section 10.7, the officers' certificate described in this Section 10.9 shall be deemed to be conclusive as to the correctness of the adjustment reflected therein if, and only if, no Holder delivers written notice to the Company of an objection to the adjustment within 30 days after the officers' certificate is delivered to the Holders.  The Company will make its books and records available for inspection and copying during normal business hours by the Holder so as to permit a determination as to the correctness of the adjustment.  If written notice of an objection is delivered by a Holder to the Company and the parties cannot reconcile the dispute, the Holder and the Company shall submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 19 below.  Failure to prepare or provide the officers' certificates shall not modify the parties' rights hereunder.


SECTION 11

MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY


The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation or sell all or substantially all of its property to another corporation, unless the provisions of Section 10.4 are complied with.


SECTION 12

MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT


The Company may by supplemental agreement make any changes or corrections in this Agreement it shall deem appropriate to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or mistake or error herein contained.  Additionally, the Company may make any changes or corrections deemed necessary which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Warrant Holders, including lowering the exercise price or extending the Exercise Period of the Warrants; provided, however, this Agreement shall not otherwise be modified, supplemented or altered in any respect except with the consent in writing of the Warrant Holders who hold not less than a majority of the Warrants then outstanding and provided further that no such amendment shall accelerate the Warrant Expiration Date or increase the Exercise Price without the approval of all the holders of all outstanding Warrants.


SECTION 13

NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS


If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by its exercise in full, any of the following shall occur:


(i)

(iv)

the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or


(v)

any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its Common Stock;





12


then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder or Holders written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the earliest applicable date specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall state the following:


(a)

the purpose for which a record of stockholders is to be taken;


(b)

the number, amount, price, and nature of the shares of Common Stock or other stock, securities, or assets which will be deliverable on Warrant Shares following exercise of the Warrants if such exercise occurs prior to the record date for such action;


(c)

the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the stockholders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined;


(d)

the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolida­tion, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company's stockholders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement or redemption; and


(e)

if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by stockholders of Common Stock, the date as of which those stockholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.



SECTION 14

NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER


Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the Warrant Holder or its transferees any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote, receive dividends, consent or receive notices as a shareholder in respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.  The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish any Holder of this Warrant with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company.



SECTION 15

WARRANT AGENT


15.1.

APPOINTMENT.  The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as the agent of the Company in accordance with this Agreement and Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.


15.2

DUTIES.  The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions by all of which the Company and every Warrant Holder by acceptance of any Warrant Certificates, shall be bound:





13


(i)

The statements contained in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificates shall be taken as statements of the Company and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as described by the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it.


(ii)

The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the Company's covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates.


(iii)

The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder in respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel, provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection and continued employment of such counsel.


(iv)

The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the property party or parties.


(v)

The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent the Warrant Agent's standard published rates in effect on the date of this Agreement, as the same may be changed from time to time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from the Warrant Agent to the Company, for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement; to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement; and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or bad faith.


(vi)

The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more Warrant Holders shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity.  All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceedings instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery or judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Warrant Holders as their respective rights or interests may appear.


(vii)

The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.


(viii)

The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof and those provisions of the Act, the Securities Exchange




14


Act of 1934, as amended, and those Rules and Regulations of the Commission applicable to the duties of the Warrant Agent hereunder.



SECTION 16

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR CHANGE OF NAME OF WARRANT AGENT


16.1.

SUCCESSOR.  Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 17 of this Agreement.  In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and in case at the time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent;  and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.


16.2.

CHANGE OF NAME.  In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.






15


SECTION 17

CHANGE OF WARRANT AGENT


The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the Company notice in writing, and by giving notice in writing to each Warrant Holder at his address appearing in the Warrant register, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least 90 days prior to the date so specified.  If the Warrant Agent shall resign or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 90 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any Warrant Holder, then any Warrant Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.  Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company.  Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a transfer agent, bank or trust company, in good standing, organized under the laws of one of the states of the United States of America or under the laws  of the United States of America.  After appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed and the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.  Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

WARRANT CERTIFICATE


FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION


This Warrant Certificate certifies that _______________ or registered assigns (the "Warrant Holder"), is the registered owner of the above-indicated number of Warrants ("Warrants") expiring at 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado, local time, on _______________ (the "Expiration Date").  Each  Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to purchase from FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION (the "Company"), a Colorado corporation, at any time before the Expiration Date, one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $___ per share (the "Exercise Price") upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate, with the exercise form hereon duly completed and executed, with payment of the Exercise Price, at the principal office of the Company, but only subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement.  In addition, the Warrant Holder has the right to convert the Warrants evidenced by this Certificate into shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.6 of the Warrant Agreement.  All unexercised Warrants may be redeemed by the Company (i) upon 30 calendar days prior written notice to registered Warrant Holders and (ii) under certain conditions set forth in the Agreement between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, Inc.] as the Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agreement").  No Warrant may be exercised or converted after such 30-day period.  The Exercise Price, the number of shares purchasable upon exercise or conversion of each Warrant, the number of Warrants outstanding and the Expiration Date are subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.  Reference is hereby made to the other provisions of this Warrant Certificate and the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this Warrant Certificate and which shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.


Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the office of the Company a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with the Warrant Terms, shall be issued to




20


the transferee in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement.


The Warrant Holder of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise all or any whole number of such Warrants in the manner stated hereon and in the Warrant Agreement.  The Exercise Price shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in cash or by certified or cashier's check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company.  Upon any exercise of any Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate in an amount less than the number of Warrants so evidenced, there shall be issued to the Warrant Holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not so exercised.  No adjustment shall be made for any dividends on any shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant.


No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m., Colorado time, on the Expiration Date, and any Warrant not exercised by such time shall become void.


COPIES OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH DEFINES THE RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND THE WARRANT HOLDERS, ARE ON FILE WITH THE WARRANT AGENT.  ANY WARRANT HOLDER MAY OBTAIN A COPY OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT, FREE OF CHARGE, BY A REQUEST TO THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE WARRANT AGENT.


This Warrant Certificate, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent, in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without payment of a charge, except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing a like number of Warrants, subject to any adjustment made in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.


The Company may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for all purposes and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.  No Warrant Holder, as such, shall have the rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Warrant Holder, as such, are limited to those rights expressly provided in the Warrant Agreement and in the Warrant Certificates.


The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrants upon any such adjustment or to issue fractions of shares upon the exercise of any Warrants after any such adjustment, but the Company, in lieu of issuing any such fractional interest, shall pay an amount in cash equal to such fraction times the current market value of one Warrant or one share, as the case may be, determined in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.


Unless the amendment is able to be effected by the Company in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement is subject to amendment only upon the approval of holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Warrants, except that no such amendment shall accelerate the Expiration Date or increase the Exercise Price without the approval of all the holders of all outstanding Warrants.  A copy of the Warrant Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times at the principal office of the Warrant Agent for inspection for any Warrant Holder.  As a condition of such inspection, the Company may require any Warrant Holder to submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection.

IMPORTANT:  The Warrants represented by this Certificate may not be exercised by a Warrant Holder unless at the time of exercise the underlying shares of Common Stock are qualified for sale, by registration or otherwise, in the state where the Warrant Holder resides or unless the issuance of the shares of Common Stock would be exempt under the applicable state securities laws.  Although the underlying shares of Common Stock were qualified for sale in the states in which the Warrants were originally sold, the Company may not continue such qualifications for the life of the Warrants.  Moreover, the Company may not qualify the underlying shares of Common Stock in any other states.  Further, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the exercise of the Warrants must be in effect and current at the time of exercise unless the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, unless such registration statement and qualification are in effect and current at the time of exercise, or unless exemptions are available, the Company may decline to permit the exercise of the Warrants and the holder hereof would then only have the choice of either attempting to sell the Warrants, if a market existed therefor, or letting the Warrants expire.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be signed by its President and by its Secretary, each by a facsimile of said officers' signatures, and has caused a facsimile of its corporate seal to be imprinted hereon.
