RICHFIELD OIL & GAS COMPANY, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to MACKOV INVESTMENTS LIMITED ("Holder" or "Investor") or order, the principal amount of Two Hundred Fifty Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Nine Dollars ($254,909).

This Note shall bear simple interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per month until paid in full.
This Note may be prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, before the Due Date without penalty. In the event Maker fails to pay any sum due hereunder on the date when such payment is due and payable as provided herein within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such default, the Company agrees to compensate Holder for his reasonable costs incurred as a result of such default, including attorney’s fees, court costs and other charges.
1. Replacement of Prior Notes. This Note shall replace and supersede all prior Notes between Maker and Holder, including (a) the Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $50,000 dated June 14, 2011 (with Peter Lazarevski as co-lender), as amended June 28, July 18, and September 28, respectively; and (b) the Promissory Note in the principal amount of $89,500 dated September 7, 2011, as amended September 28, 2011. This Note includes an additional loan of $50,000 by Holder to Maker as of the date hereof.
2. Warrant. As additional consideration for the loans represented by this Note, Maker hereby grants to Holder a Warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Richfield Oil & Gas Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.16 per share through October 20, 2012, increasing to an exercise price of $0.25 per share through October 20, 2013. Holder may exercise such Warrant in whole or in part from time to time upon written notice to Maker accompanied by good funds in payment of the shares being purchased under such Warrant.
