6.1 At the Borrower’s election, in lieu of repayment, the amount of the drawn down Loan (including the principal thereof and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) may be converted, in whole but not in part except as provided in Clause 6.6, into a number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares, subject to and determined as provided in Clause 6.3 below, as of the date of, and in all cases subject to the consummation of, a Qualified Offering provided, that no Event of Default shall at the time exist and be continuing.
   
6.2 In order to elect to convert the Loan into Shares in connection with a Qualified Offering in accordance with this Clause 6, the Borrower shall give Lender notice of such election not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Conversion Date, specifying the anticipated Conversion Date, the anticipated aggregate proceeds to the Borrower and the other anticipated terms of the Qualified Offering.
   
6.3 Subject to Clause 6.6, the number of Shares or Units issuable upon conversion of the Loan shall be the quotient of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, divided by (y) the lowest price per Share or Unit paid by investors for Shares or Units in the Qualified Offering before deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, placement agent commissions and fees, and other expenses of the Qualified Offering. In lieu of any fractional Share or Unit to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the price of such Share or Unit in the Qualified Offering.
   
6.4 Subject to Clause 6.6, upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering, in the event that the Borrower does not elect to convert the Loan into Shares in accordance with Clause 6.1: (a) the Availability Period shall terminate and the Lender will not be required to make any further Advances; and (b) upon the Repayment Date (or any other date on which the Loan is to be repaid, in whole or in part), the Lender shall have the right to elect to receive, in its sole discretion, in lieu of any cash repayment of the Loan, a number of Shares (or Units, if Units are sold in the Qualified Offering) equal to the principal amount of the Loan being so repaid, divided by the lowest price per Share or Unit paid by investors for Shares or Units in the Qualified Offering before deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, placement agent commissions and fees, and other expenses of the Qualified Offering. In lieu of any fractional Share or Unit to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the price of such Share or Unit in the Qualified Offering. The Borrower shall give the Lender written notice five (5) Business Days prior to making any repayment of the Loan under this Agreement in order to permit the Lender to make such an election.
   
6.5 Upon the conversion of the Loan and the issuance to the Lender of the Shares or Units in accordance in accordance with Clause 6, and upon delivery to the Lender of a valid share certificate for the Shares and other securities comprising Units if Units are issued, (or in lieu of certificates, evidence of direct registration in the records of the transfer agent in the case of the Shares and records of Borrower in the case of other securities comprising Units), this Agreement shall terminate and the Borrower shall be forever released from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that any obligations of the Borrower under Clauses 7 (Tax), 9 (Liability), 10 (Payments) and 13 (Miscellaneous) shall survive such termination and remain be valid and effective.
   
6.6 If under the rules of the NYSE American or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (an “Applicable Exchange”), approval by the stockholders of the Borrower would be required in connection with the issuance of Shares or Units upon any conversion under this Clause 6, then unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum amount of the Loan (including principal and any accrued interest) that may be converted into Shares or Units shall not exceed an amount that would result in the number of Shares (including Shares issued separately or as a part of a Unit) so issued (together with Shares issued upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering in the case of a conversion under Clause 6.1 or that is otherwise deemed by the Applicable Exchange to be in connection with the consummation of the Qualified Offering) exceeding 19.9% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such conversion (and before consummation of the Qualified Offering in the case of a conversion under Clause 6.1 or that is otherwise deemed by the Applicable Exchange to be in connection with the consummation of a Qualified Offering).

7 Tax
   
7.1 Withholdings – If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due from the Borrower to the Lender, the Borrower shall simultaneously pay to the Lender whatever additional amount is necessary to ensure that the Lender receives a net sum equal to the payment it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
   
7.2 Increased costs – If any change in law or in its interpretation or administration by any relevant governmental authority or any request from or requirement of any other fiscal, monetary or other authority:

 

  (a) subjects the Lender to a cost in relation to its performance of this Agreement, its maintenance of its Commitment or its advance of the Loan or increases any such cost; or
     
  (b) imposes or changes any reserve or other requirement against or in respect of any commitments or assets of the Lender (including the Commitment or the Loan); or
     
  (c) imposes on the Lender any other condition or payment obligation in relation to the Commitment, the Loan or any other matter arising under this Agreement or affects the manner in which the Lender allocates its capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement,

  (a) the Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of that event; and

1.1.4. Lender is acquiring the Warrants and Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants, solely for Lender’s own account, for long-term investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any public distribution of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.

Warrants may be countersigned, however, by the warrant agent (or by its successor as warrant agent hereunder) and may be delivered by the warrant agent, notwithstanding that the persons whose manual or facsimile signatures appear thereon as proper officers of the Company shall have ceased to be such officers at the time of such countersignature, issuance or delivery. The warrant agent (if so appointed) shall, upon written instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, countersign, issue and deliver the Warrants as provided in this Agreement.

Section 2. Warrant Price. Subject to any adjustments required by Section 6, the price per share at which Warrant Shares shall be purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant (the “Warrant Price”) shall be Two Dollars and Sixty cents ($2.60) per share.

 

Section 3. Exercise of Warrants; Restrictions.

 

3.1 Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised in whole or in part, to purchase from the Company, at the Warrant Price then in effect, the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares determined as provided in this Agreement. The Warrants may not be exercised or transferred after the Expiration Date. A Warrant may be exercised by (i) surrender of the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be exercised, together with the Exercise Notice duly completed and signed, to the Company at its principal office (or if appointed, the principal office of the warrant agent) and (ii) payment of the Warrant Price to the Company (or if appointed, to the warrant agent for the account of the Company), for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the Warrant is then being exercised. Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price shall be made by bank wire transfer to the account of the Company or by bank cashier’s check.

 

3.2 Issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 3.3 and the Holder’s payment of any taxes or deposit funds with the Company sufficient to pay any taxes payable by the Holder pursuant to Section 5, following the surrender of the Warrant with the Exercise Notice duly completed and signed, and provided that payment of the Warrant Price has been received, the Company (or if appointed, the warrant agent) shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 8, in respect of any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise. Such Warrant Share certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date on which the Warrant with the duly completed and signed Exercise Notice and payment of the Warrant Price, as aforesaid, shall have been received by the Company (or if appointed, to the warrant agent for the account of the Company), for such Warrant Shares. Except for cash payable in respect of any fractional share, under no circumstances shall the Company be required to settle any exercises of this Warrant by cash payment or otherwise “net cash settle” this Warrant. In the event that a certificate evidencing the Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares purchasable on such exercise at any time prior to the tenth Business Day prior to the Expiration Date, a new certificate evidencing the unexercised portion of the Warrant will be issued, and the warrant agent (if so appointed) is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant certificate or certificates. The Company, whenever required by the warrant agent (if appointed), will supply the warrant agent with Warrant certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

3.3 Restrictions on Exercise of Warrants.

 

(a) The Warrants may not be exercised unless the issuance of the Warrant Shares thereunder is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

(b) Unless the Warrant and Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities laws, each Person who is exercising a Warrant and who does not certify in the applicable Exercise Notice that such Person either is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act or is not a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, may be required to provide a written opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company and to the transfer agent of the Warrant Shares, to the effect that exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Warrant Shares are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities laws.

 

(c) The Company shall be entitled to obtain, as a condition precedent to its issuance of any certificates representing Warrant Shares or any other securities issuable upon any exercise of a Warrant, a letter or other instrument from the Holder containing such representations or warranties by the Holder as reasonably deemed necessary by the Company to effect compliance by the Company with the requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable United States federal and/or state securities laws.

 

(d) Any exercise, attempt to exercise, or purported exercise of a Warrant in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.3 shall be deemed null and void and of no binding effect.

 

(e) The Company will refuse to issue, and will issue instructions to the transfer agent and registrar of its Warrant Shares to refuse to issue, any Warrant Shares upon any exercise not made pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

Section 4. Transferability of Warrants and Warrant Shares; Restrictions on Transfer.

 

4.1 Registration. Each Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company (the “Warrant Register”) as issued. The Company and the warrant agent (if appointed) shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant appearing in the Warrant Register as the owner in fact of the Warrant for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim or interest in the Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration of transfer of any Warrant which is registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary upon the instruction of such fiduciary, unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer, or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. Each Warrant shall initially be registered in the name of the Person to whom it is originally issued.

 

 3 
 

 

4.2 Transfer. Subject to Section 4.3, the Warrants shall be transferable only on the Warrant Register upon delivery of the Warrant certificate duly endorsed by the Holder of the Warrant or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the original power of attorney or a duly certified copy thereof shall be deposited and remain with the Company (or the warrant agent, if appointed). In case of transfer by executors, administrators, guardians or other legal representatives, duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be produced, and may be required to be deposited and remain with the Company (or the warrant agent, if appointed) in its discretion. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver (or if appointed, the warrant agent shall countersign and deliver) a new Warrant or Warrants to the Persons entitled thereto.

 

4.3 Restrictions on Transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares.

 

(a) The Warrants, and any Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act, and under any applicable state securities laws, is effective therefor, or an exemption from such registration is then available and an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company and to the transfer agent or warrant agent, if any, has been rendered stating that such sale, pledge, hypothecation, transfer or assignment will not violate the Securities Act or any other United States federal or state securities laws; provided, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required in the event of a sale to (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) to an “affiliate” of the Holder, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

 

(b) As a condition precedent to the registration of transfer and issuance of any certificates representing Warrants or Warrant Shares upon transfer, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a letter or other instrument from the Holder and the proposed transferee containing such representations or warranties by such Holder and proposed transferee as reasonably deemed necessary by the Company to effect compliance by the Company with the requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable federal and/or state securities laws.

 

(c) Any sale, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, or assignment of a Warrant or Warrant Shares in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be deemed null and void and of no binding effect.

 

(d) The Company will issue instructions to any warrant agent that may be appointed, and to the transfer agent and registrar of its Warrant Shares, to refuse to register the transfer of any Warrant and Warrant Shares not made pursuant to registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

 4 
 

 

Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Warrant or certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of such Warrants or Warrant Shares.

 

Section 6. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as provided in this Section 6.

 

6.1 Adjustments. If the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) reclassify or change its Common Stock (including any such reclassification or change in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company or other property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 6.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

 

(a) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (a) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in the determination of any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made with respect to the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, to the nearest tenth of a share and with respect to the Warrant Price payable hereunder, to the nearest whole cent.

 

(b) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Warrant Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant 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 each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

 5 
 

 

6.2 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Warrant Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall, or in the event that a warrant agent is appointed, the Company shall cause the warrant agent to, promptly and in any event within ten (10) days send to each Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments. Such notice shall set forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

 

6.3 No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as set forth in Section 6.1, no adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.

 

6.4 Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Merger, 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, transfer or lease to another Person of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or any other transaction constituting, resulting in, or giving effect to a Change of Control, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute an agreement that each Holder shall have the right thereafter, upon such Holder’s election, either (i) upon payment of the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, lease or other transaction had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such transaction (such shares and other securities and property (including cash) being referred to as the “Sale Consideration”) or (ii) to receive, in cancellation of such Warrant (and in lieu of paying the Warrant Price and exercising such Warrant), the Sale Consideration less a portion thereof having a fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Company) equal to the Warrant Price (it being understood that, if the Sale Consideration consists of more than one type of shares, other securities or property, the amount of each type of shares, other securities or property to be received shall be reduced proportionately); provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 6.1, no adjustment in respect of dividends, interest or other income on or from such shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. The Company shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, notice of the execution of any such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases or other transactions constituting, resulting in, or giving effect to a Change of Control. The warrant agent (if appointed) shall be under no duty or responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such agreement relating to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of Warrants or with respect to the method employed and provided therein for any adjustments and shall be entitled to rely upon the provisions contained in any such agreement.

Section 7. Reservation of Warrant Shares; Purchase and Cancellation of Warrants.

 

7.1 Reservation of Warrant Shares. There have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved, out of its authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the outstanding Warrants. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the transfer agent for the Warrant Shares. The warrant agent, if appointed, will be irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such transfer agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company will supply such transfer agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 8. The Company will furnish such transfer agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

7.2 Purchase of Warrants by the Company. The Company shall have the right, except as limited by law or by other agreements, with the consent of the Holder (such consent to be given or withheld in the Holder’s sole discretion), to purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants from the Holder at such times, in such manner and for such consideration as it and the Holder may deem appropriate.

 

7.3 Cancellation of Warrants. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the same shall thereupon be cancelled and retired. The warrant agent (if so appointed) shall cancel any Warrant surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in part.

 

Section 8. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrants upon the transfer of any Warrant, or fractional Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per Warrant Share determined as of one business day prior to the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction.

 

 7 
 

 

Section 9. Exchange of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant certificate may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant certificate or Warrant certificates in different denominations (but not for any fractional Warrant or any denomination that would, but for Section 8, result in the issuance of a fractional share upon exercise) entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitle the Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant certificate or certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company at its principal office (or, if a warrant agent is appointed, the warrant agent at its principal office) and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the certificate or certificates to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Company (or, if appointed, the warrant agent) shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new Warrant certificate or certificates, as the case may be, as so requested, in such name or names as such Holder shall designate.

 

Section 10. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case any of the certificates evidencing the Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue and deliver (and, if appointed, the warrant agent shall countersign and deliver) in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant certificate of like tenor, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the warrant agent (if so appointed) of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant, and an indemnity or bond, if requested, also reasonably satisfactory to them. An applicant for such a substitute Warrant certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable requirements and pay such reasonable charges as the Company (or the warrant agent, if so appointed) may prescribe.

 

Section 11. No Rights as Stockholders; Notices to Holders. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders or their transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, any of the following events shall occur: (a) the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon its shares of Common Stock or make any distribution (other than a regular cash dividend, as such dividend may be increased from time to time, or a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares is to be made pursuant to Section 6.1) to the holders of its shares of Common Stock; or (b) the Company shall distribute rights, options or warrants to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock, without any charge to such holders, entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or the Company shall otherwise offer to the holders of its shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis any cash, additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any right to subscribe for or purchase any thereof; (c) a consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s property, assets, and business as an entirety, or (d) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or (e) a transaction between the Company and any other Person that will result in a Change of Control shall be proposed, then in any one or more of said events the Company shall give notice in writing of such event as provided in Section 12, such giving of notice to be completed at least 10 days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend or distribution or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale of assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or the date on which a transaction to which the Company is a party and which will cause or result in a Change of Control will be consummated. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to publish, mail or receive such notice or any defect therein or in the publication or mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any action in connection with such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the warrant agent (if appointed) and the Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns hereunder.

 

Section 14. Legends. The Warrants shall bear an appropriate legend, conspicuously disclosing the restrictions on exercise under Section 3.3, and the Warrants and Warrant Shares shall bear an appropriate legend, conspicuously disclosing the restrictions on transfer under Section 4.3 until the same are registered for sale under the Securities Act or are transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act entitling the transferee to receive securities that are not deemed to be “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company agrees that upon the sale of the Warrants and Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption entitling the transferee to receive securities that are not deemed to be “restricted securities,” or at such time as registration under the Securities Act shall no longer be required, upon the presentation of the certificates containing such a legend to the transfer agent or warrant agent, if any, it will remove such legend; provided, that unless the request for removal of the legend is in connection with a sale registered under the Securities Act or a sale meeting the applicable requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Holder shall have provided an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company and the transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, to the effect that such legend may be removed in compliance with the Securities Act.

This certifies that, for value received, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from AgeX Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price per share of [       ] Dollars and [      ] cents ($[       ]) (the “Warrant Price”), One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Outstanding Warrants not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date as defined in the Warrant Agreement shall thereafter be void.

 

Subject to restriction specified in the Warrant Agreement, Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part on or after the date hereof by presentation of this Warrant Certificate with the Exercise Notice on the reverse side hereof duly executed, and simultaneous payment of the Warrant Price (or as otherwise set forth in Section 6.4 of the Warrant Agreement) at the principal office of the Company (or if a warrant agent is appointed, at the principal office of the warrant agent).

A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the Holder hereof upon written request to the Company.
