FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, The Amacore Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), hereby certifies that Vicis Capital Master Fund or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to Fifty Million Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (50,625,000) shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, par value $.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  This Warrant has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Issuer and the purchaser(s) listed therein.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof.

1. Term.  The term of this Warrant shall commence on June 29, 2009 and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on June 29, 2014 (such period being the “Term”).

 

 

(a) Time of Exercise.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term beginning on the date of issuance hereof.

(b) Method of Exercise.  The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not then in effect, or (iii) when permitted by clause (ii), by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.

(c) Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing six-months following the Original Issue Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Class A Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is not in effect in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement at the time of exercise, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Class A Common Stock computed using the following formula:

Y =

the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

A =

the Warrant Price.

(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates.  In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.  The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised.  With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise.

(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.

(i) The Issuer understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  If the Issuer fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, for each $500 of Warrant Shares (based on the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Issuer’s transfer agent), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $15 per Trading Day ten (10) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such certificate is delivered (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Issuer’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw an Exercise Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Issuer shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 2(e)(i) through the date the Exercise Notice is withdrawn.

(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Class A Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Class A Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Class A Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Class A Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

(f) Transferability of Warrant.  Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, subject only to the restrictions specified in the Purchase Agreement.  If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.  This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange.  All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.

(g) Continuing Rights of Holder.  The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

 

(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.

(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer.  Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Issuer has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto.  The Issuer will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) Trading Days.  In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Issuer.  The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.  Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).

 

 

(i) Accredited Investor Status.  In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(j) No Mandatory Redemption.  This Warrant may not be called or redeemed by the Issuer without the written consent of the Holder, except as provided in Section 7.14 of the Purchase Agreement.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

(a) Stock Fully Paid.  The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer.  The Issuer further covenants and agrees that after September 30, 2009 and otherwise during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.

(b) Reservation.  If any shares of Class A Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified.  If the Issuer shall list any shares of Class A Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Class A Common Stock shall be so listed.  The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

 

 

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

(d) Payment of Taxes.  The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.

4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise.  The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

(a) Adjustment Due to Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Original Issuance Date, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased by a (i) dividend payable in any kind of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (ii) stock split, (iii) combination, (iv) reclassification or (v) other similar event, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately after such event, or if the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately after such event. In such event, the Issuer shall notify the Corporation's Transfer Agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof.

 

 

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time after the Original Issuance Date, there shall be (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (iv) any share exchange or tender offer pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are effectively converted into other securities or property; or (v) any distribution of the Corporation’s assets to holders of the Class A Common Stock as a liquidation or partial liquidation dividend or by way of return of capital (each of (i) - (v) above being a “Corporate Change”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Corporate Change if it had been, immediately prior to such Corporate Change, the holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant, and in any such case, appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the economic value of the Warrant Stock is in no way diminished by such Corporate Change and that the provisions hereof including, without limitation, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is not the Issuer, an immediate adjustment of the Warrant Price so that the Warrant Price immediately after the Corporate Change reflects the same relative value as compared to the value of the surviving entity’s common stock that existed immediately prior to such Corporate Change and the value of the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change.  If holders of Class A Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Corporate Change, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Corporate Change.

 

(c) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuances.  Except for any Qualified Issuance (as hereinafter defined), if at any time the Issuer shall offer, issue or agree to issue any Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding at any time prior to the Issuance Date) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Warrant Price then in effect, then, for each such occasion, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal such other lower price per share, and, as to shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, that were previously issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Issuer shall issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the Holder so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the Holder upon the exercise of the Warrant is equal to such other lower price per share.  For purposes of this Section “Qualified Issuance” shall mean (i) the grant, issuance or exercise of any convertible securities pursuant to a qualified or non-qualified stock option plan of the Issuer or any other bona fide employee benefit plan or incentive arrangement, adopted or approved by the Board and approved by the Issuer’s shareholders, as may be amended from time to time, (ii) the grant, issuance or exercise of any convertible securities in connection with the hire or retention of any officer, director or key employee of the Issuer, provided such grant is approved by the Board, or (iii) the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof (exclusive of any subsequent amendments thereto).

 

 

(d) Other Adjustments.  If the Issuer takes any action affecting the Class A Common Stock after the date hereof that would be covered by this Section 4, but for the manner in which such action is taken or structured, and such action would in any way diminish the value of the Warrant or Warrant Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board shall in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances.

 

(e) Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to subsections (a)-(d) above, if at any time the Issuer grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the proportionate number of shares of Class A Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(f) Redemption Right.  No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Corporate Change that constitutes a change of control, but not prior to the public announcement of such change of control, the Issuer shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change in Control Notice”).  At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending ten (10) Trading Days after the consummation of such change of control, the Holder may require the Issuer to redeem all or any portion of this Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (“Change in Control Redemption Notice”) to the Issuer, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount the Holder is electing to be redeemed.  Any such redemption shall be in cash in the amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S.  Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

 

5. Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.  Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection.  The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute.  Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.

 

 

6. Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.
