No. [ ] [ ] Shares
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, William J. Kitchen [and/or the Designees specified in the License Agreement] (the Holder), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from FX Real Estate and Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time after the date hereof (the Initial Issue Date), and before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September , 2015 (the Exercise Period) up to Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (3,750,000) shares, $0.01 par value, of the Company (Common Stock), at an exercise price of $0.20 per share (the Exercise Price). As used herein the term this Warrant shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. All capitalized terms used in this Warrant but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the License Agreement (as defined below).
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to that certain Exclusive License Agreement dated the date even herewith by and between Circle Entertainment SV-I, LLC, the Holder and US ThrillRides, LLC (the License Agreement).
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the Warrant Shares) and the Exercise Price may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.
1. This Warrant may be exercised, at any time or times and from time to time, during the Exercise Period (unless such period is earlier terminated in accordance with Section 18 hereof), as to the whole or any lesser number of the respective whole Warrant Shares, as follows:
(a) By the surrender of this Warrant (with the Form of Election attached hereto duly executed) to the Company at its office as set forth in the Form of Election attached hereto, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, together with payment to the Company of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of respective Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised. Such payment may be made by certified or bank cashiers check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts specified in advance by the Company; or
(b) By surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Cashless Exercise attached hereto duly executed) to the Company at its office as set forth in the Notice of Cashless Exercise attached hereto, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y (A-B)/A
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = the last sale price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately prior to the date of exercise, as reported on any national securities exchange, market or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading or quoted.
B = the Exercise Price.
2. Upon the exercise of the Holders rights to purchase Warrant Shares, either pursuant to Section 1(a) or 1(b) above, 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 shall then be closed or instruments representing such Warrant Shares shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction pursuant to Section 1(b) above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the issue date of this Warrant. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant either pursuant to Section 1(a) or 1(b) above, the Company shall cause a statement from its transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock (the Transfer Agent) evidencing ownership of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee on the Transfer Agents records in book-entry form under The Direct Registration System, to be issued by the Transfer Agent to the Holder. If the Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares (or portions thereof) subject to purchase hereunder.
3. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the Warrant Register), in the name of the record holder from time to time. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases or transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall promptly deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
4. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the full Exercise Price therefor if such exercise is pursuant to Section 1(a) above, or upon receipt by the Company of the Notice of Cashless Exercise duly executed if such exercise is pursuant to Section 1(b) above, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights.
5. (a) In case the Company shall at any time after the date this Warrant was first issued (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Exercise Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the record date therefor, he would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
(c) In any case in which this Section 5 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, if the Holder exercised this Warrant after such record date, the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holders right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(d) Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this Section 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, which notice shall be accompanied by an officers certificate setting forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, which officers certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest error.
6. (a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing entity), or in case of any sale, lease, or conveyance to another entity of the property and assets of any nature of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, before the Company is permitted to complete or consummate any such merger, consolidation, sale, lease or conveyance, the Company shall cause such successor, leasing, or purchasing entity, as the case may be, to (i) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance and (ii) take or cause to be taken all necessary equity holder and corporate action, including amending its Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, required to effect such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 5.
(b) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value that is less than the Exercise Price, as the same may be adjusted from time to time hereunder, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any consolidation or merger of another entity into the Company in which the Company is the continuing entity and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to a specified par value that is less than the Exercise Price, as the same may be adjusted from time to time hereunder, or as a result of a subdivision or combination which is subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Warrant, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger. Thereafter, appropriate provision shall be made for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments in Section 5.
(c) In the event that the Company (i) issues as a dividend or other similar distribution (an Extraordinary Dividend) on all of its then outstanding Common Stock, (A) securities of the Company of a class other than Common Stock, (B) rights, warrants or options (individually, a Right and collectively, the Rights) to acquire any securities of the Company (including Common Stock) or (C) evidences of its indebtedness or assets, or (ii) issues any dividend or other similar distribution (a Secondary Extraordinary Dividend) on any such securities in the form of securities of the Company (including Common Stock) (any securities (other than Rights) issued as an Extraordinary Dividend or Secondary Extraordinary Dividend or issued upon exercise of any Rights issued as an Extraordinary Dividend or Secondary Extraordinary Dividend shall be referred to as Dividend Securities):
(x) this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for (1) the original number of shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as herein provided), (2) such Dividend Securities and Rights as would theretofore have been issued in respect of such shares (adjusted as herein provided) had such shares been outstanding at the time of such Extraordinary Dividend, and (3) any Dividend Securities that would theretofore have been issued as a Secondary Extraordinary Dividend in respect of such Dividend Securities had such Dividend Securities been outstanding at the time of such Secondary Extraordinary Dividend; and
(d) any Right issued as an Extraordinary Dividend or a Secondary Extraordinary Dividend shall (1) expire upon the later of (a) the original expiration date of such Right or (b) the 180th day following the exercise of this Warrant, and (2) be exercisable for (a) the Dividend Securities issuable upon exercise of such Right and (b) any property theretofore issued as a Secondary Extraordinary Dividend in respect of such Dividend Securities.
(e) In the event that at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall offer to sell to all of the holders of Common Stock as a class, rights or options to purchase Common Stock or rights or options to purchase any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such exchangeable or convertible stock or securities being herein called Convertible Securities), whether or not such rights or options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the total amount received or receivable by the Company upon issuance and sale of such rights or options, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such rights or options, plus, in the case of rights or options which relate to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such rights or options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such rights or options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the initial sale of any such rights or options, the Company shall offer to sell to the Holder, at the price and upon the terms at which such rights or options are offered to holders of its Common Stock, such number of such rights or options as the Holder would have been entitled to purchase had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the commencement of the offering of such rights or options.
(f) The above provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, and/or conveyances.
7. In case at any time the Company shall propose:
(a) to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash dividend paid prior to the date this Warrant was issued) to all holders of Common Stock; or
(b) to issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any other rights, warrants, or other securities; or
(c) to effect any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or conveyance, described in Section 6; or
(d) to effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; or
(e) to take any other action which under the express terms of this Warrant would cause an adjustment to the Exercise Price and/or to which the provisions of Section 5 and/or Section 6 apply;
then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holders address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, mailed at least 30 days prior to (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants, or other securities are to be determined, (ii) the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, or (iii) the date of such action which would require an adjustment to the Exercise Price.
8. The issuance of any Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate or other instrument in a name other than that of the Holder and, if the transfer is subject to withholding, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
9. Any certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant and registered in the name of the Holder on the Transfer Agents records in book-entry form under The Direct Registration System shall contain the following notation:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
10. (a) If, at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, the Securities Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder shall be amended to prevent or limit the ability of a Holder to be able to acquire the Warrant Shares through a cashless exercise, as contemplated by Sections 1(b) and 2 above, and thereafter to sell the Warrant Shares so acquired after a holding period not exceeding one year without registration, then, but only then, the Company agrees the Holder shall have piggy-back registration rights, provided that: (i) such rights do not require the Company to suffer or incur any material costs or liabilities it would not otherwise suffer or incur; and (ii) such rights shall provide that they cannot be exercised at any time or in any manner which would materially impede or interfere with the ability of the Company to raise necessary capital. Such registration rights shall be exercisable by the Holder and/or his designee until all Warrant Shares issuable hereunder are sold or may be resold under Rule 144 without limitations.
(b) The Company has and does hereby represent and warrant to the Holder that the Company does not currently have any Warrants outstanding as of the date of this Warrant which contain any economic anti-dilution provisions which are not included in this Warrant. If, at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, the Company issues any other Warrants which do contain any such economic anti-dilution provisions not contained in this Warrant, the Company agrees, at no cost to the Holder, to reissue this Warrant to add such economic anti-dilution provisions to this Warrant.
11. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant (and upon surrender of any Warrant if mutilated), and upon reimbursement of the Companys reasonable incidental expenses, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination.
12. The Holder of any Warrant shall not have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
13. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested or sent by Federal Express, Express Mail, or similar overnight delivery or courier service or delivered (in person or by telecopy, telex, or similar telecommunications equipment) against receipt to the party to whom it is to be given, if sent to the Company, at: 650 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022, Attention: Corporate Secretary; or if sent to the Holder, at the Holders address as it shall appear on the Warrant Register; or to such other address as the party shall have furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12. Any notice or other communication given by certified mail shall be deemed given five days after the time of certification thereof, except for a notice changing a partys address which will be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof. Any notice given by other means permitted by this Section 12 shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.
14. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and his permitted successors and assigns. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Holder in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and without compliance with the Act and applicable state securities laws (such compliance to be evidenced to the Companys reasonable satisfaction).
15. This Warrant shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed within such State, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law may govern by virtue of the fact that the Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
16. The Company irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and courts located in New York County in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant, any document or instrument delivered pursuant to, in connection with or simultaneously with this Warrant, or a breach of this Warrant or any such document or instrument. In any such action or proceeding, the Company waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process.
17. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
18. In the event the License Agreement is validly terminated by the Holder as a result of the failure of the Company (due to no Material Fault of either the Holder or ThrillRides) to meet the Initial Performance Standard, this Warrant shall automatically terminate and be null and void effective on the date of termination of the License Agreement. This Warrant shall be subject to the provisions of the License Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Warrant conflicts with any provision of the License Agreement, the provision of the License Agreement shall prevail and govern.
