COMMON STOCK WARRANT

 March 4, 2019

BASANITE, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that Richard Krolewski, his permissible transferees, designees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company commencing on the date of execution of this document and terminating on March 4, 2024 (the “Termination Date”) FIVE MILLION shares (each, a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”) of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per Share equal to $0.1235 (the “Exercise Price”).  

The number of Shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.

1.

Method of Exercise; Payment.

(a)

Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Common Stock Warrant (the “Warrant”) may be exercised for cash only, by the Holder, in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the election to purchase form (the “Election to Purchase”) attached hereto as Attachment A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the Shares being purchased, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer or certified check payable to the order of the Company. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the Shares represented thereby (and such Shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which this Warrant is exercised.

(b)

Mandatory Exercise.  In the event the share price of the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above the Exercise Price for 20 consecutive trading days, then the Company shall have the option to require exercise of the Common Stock Warrant within 10 business days in accordance with Section 1 (a) of this Agreement.  If the Warrants have not been exercised within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice from the Company that it is exercising its right to require exercise of the Warrants, the Warrants shall be cancelled.




 


(c)

Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, as promptly as practicable after this Warrant is surrendered and delivered to the Company along with all other appropriate documentation on or after the date of exercise and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of Shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

(d)

Taxes. The issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such Shares, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance.

2.

Warrant.

(a)

Exchange, Transfer and Replacement. At any time prior to the exercise hereof, this Warrant may be exchanged upon presentation and surrender to the Company, alone or with other warrants of like tenor of different denominations registered in the name of the same Holder, for another warrant or warrants of like tenor in the name of such Holder exercisable for the aggregate number of Shares as the warrant or warrants surrendered.

(b)

Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

(c)

Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange or replacement as provided in this Section 2, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The Holder shall pay all taxes and all other expenses (including legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.

(d)

Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at the offices of the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant (the “Warrant Register”), in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this Warrant.

3.

Rights and Obligations of Holders of this Warrant. The Holder of this Warrant shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided, however, that in the event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other securities is issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant, such holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly executed Election to Purchase, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common Stock certificate.

4.

Adjustments.

(a)

Stock Dividend; Reclassifications; Recapitalizations; Etc. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event the Company: (i) subdivides its outstanding Common Stock into a greater



2




 


number of shares, (ii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iii) increases or decreases the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common Stock, then (1) the Exercise Price on the record date of such division or distribution or the effective date of such action shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately before such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price immediately after such event.  No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Company’s Common Stock or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to this Warrant.

(b)

Combination; Liquidation. While this Warrant is outstanding, in the event of a Combination (as defined below), each Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon or as a result of such Combination had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof). Unless paragraph (ii) is applicable to a Combination, the Company shall provide that the surviving or acquiring Person (the “Successor Company”) in such Combination will assume by written instrument the obligations under this Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire. “Combination” means an event in which the Company consolidates with, mergers with or into, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to another Person, where “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or any agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity.

(c)

Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock and other property, if any, issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the holders of the Warrant in accordance with Section 8 a certificate of the Company's Chief Financial Officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and specifying the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.

5.

Fractional Shares.  In lieu of the issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder the Company will issue an additional whole share.

6.

Legends. Prior to issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, all such certificates representing such shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of first page of this Warrant.

7.

Disposition of Warrants or Shares. The Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the 1933 Act. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the



3
