(a)       The Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a Draw Down Notice (as defined in Section 6.1(h) hereof) for a specified Draw Down Amount Requested. The Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase 100% of the Draw Down Amount Requested. Subject to Section 6.1(g) below, the Purchaser shall pay a per Share amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the average Daily Closing Price during the Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Purchase Price”). Subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the Draw Down Amount Requested shall not exceed four hundred percent (400%) (the “Draw Down Limit”) of the average daily trading volume for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the Draw Down Exercise Date.

 

(b)       Prior to commencement of the Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company shall deliver the Shares to be purchased in such Draw Down to the Purchaser.

 

19
 

 

(c)       Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period.

 

(d)       Each Draw Down shall be settled on the first Trading Day after the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period (the “Settlement Date”).

 

(e)       At the end of each Draw Down Pricing Period, the Purchaser’s total Draw Down commitment under this Agreement shall be reduced by the total amount of the Draw Down Amount for such Draw Down Pricing Period.

 

(f)        Each Draw Down will automatically expire immediately after the last Trading Day of each Draw Down Pricing Period.

 

(g)       If the Daily Closing Price on a given Trading Day in the Draw Down Pricing Period, multiplied by ninety percent (90%), is less than the Threshold Price, then the total amount of the Draw Down Amount Requested will be reduced by 1/10th (or such other fraction based on the length of the Draw Down Pricing Period) and no Shares will be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day.

 

(h)       As a condition to exercise of any Draw Down, the Company must (i) provide a notice to the Purchaser of the Company’s exercise of any Draw Down via facsimile transmission before commencement of trading on the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period covered by such notice (the “Draw Down Notice”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (ii) deliver the Shares to the Purchaser or its designees via DWAC, if the Company is approved for DWAC in an amount equal to the Draw Down Amount Requested (which amount shall be adjusted in the event that the amount accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof is different that the Draw Down Amount Requested). The date the Company delivers the Draw Down Notice and the Shares in accordance with this Section 6.1(h) shall be a “Draw Down Exercise Date.” The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested, set the Threshold Price for such Draw Down and designate the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period that the Company wishes to grant to the Purchaser during the Draw Down Pricing Period.

20
 

 

Section 6.2       Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the extent that the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued hereunder would cause the Company to sell or the Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock which in the aggregate are in excess of the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would permit the Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases by Purchaser hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice or together with the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of all other Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser pursuant hereto would exceed the Aggregate Limit.

If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 7.1 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except as provided in Section 9.9 hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Company and the Purchaser to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1       General Indemnity.

 

(a)       Indemnification by the Company.

The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys fees) to which the Company and each such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, included in the Registration Statement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement. Pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, the Purchaser will reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the other person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.

 

Section 8.2        Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all of the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

 

22
 

 

If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which it is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

d.           Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, subject to the restrictions of applicable law on the number of shares that may be registered by the Company, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Trading Days after the necessity therefore arises. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 

3.            RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

 

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.

The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

i.            The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j.            If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.

 

k.          The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

l.            Within three (3) Trading Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

a.           To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

b.           In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor to be set forth on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B which Investor will complete and furnish to the Company no later than 15 days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

c.           Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, provided that there may be no more than one such separate counsel for all of the Indemnified Parties The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

- 8 -
 

 

d.           The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

e.           The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7.            CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8.            REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

a.           make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

d.           take such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, GEM Capital SAS (the “Holder”), shall have the right to purchase from EOS PETRO, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), six hundred and fifty one thousand five hundred (651,500) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to further adjustment as set forth in Section 6 hereof, at any time until 5:00 P.M., Pacific time, on November 12, 2016 (the “Expiration Date”) at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the "Exercise Price").

So long as the condition in Section 2(a) has been satisfied, the Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in partial allotments, at the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, payable at such Holder's election by cash, certified or official bank check, or wire transfer to an account designated by the Corporation. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares then being purchased (collectively referred to as the “Exercise Materials”), the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, provided the 61 day period referenced in Section 2(c) of this Warrant has expired. In lieu of the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall round up or down the fractional amount to the nearest whole number.

 

(e)          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 Shares so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Business Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares being purchased is then in effect or that such Warrant Shares are otherwise exempt from registration), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) on or before the Delivery Date (if the Corporation is eligible for DWAC services at such time), and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new warrant having the same terms as this Warrant and representing the remaining portion of such shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such effective exercise.

 

(f)          Business Days. For the purposes of this Warrant, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in Los Angeles, California are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

 

3.          Reservation of Shares

 

The Corporation hereby agrees that at all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”).

 

4.          Mutilation or Loss of Warrant

 

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Warrant or stock certificate, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new warrant (containing the same terms as this Warrant) or stock certificate, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate, and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate shall thereupon become void.

 

5.          Rights of the Holder

 

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote the Warrant Shares or receive dividends on or be deemed the holder of such shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

6.          Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows. Each of the adjustments provided by the subsections below shall be deemed separate adjustments and any adjustment of this Warrant pursuant to one subsection of this Section 6 shall preclude additional adjustments for the same event or transaction by the remaining subsections.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares.

 

(i)          On October 12, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 16, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Corporation completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”). In the Merger Agreement, the Corporation agreed to implement a reverse stock split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-800 of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Merger (the “Merger Reverse Split”). When this Merger Reverse Split is implemented, it shall have no effect on this Warrant. Neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased on account of the Merger Reverse Split.

 

(ii)         Other than the Merger Reverse Split, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all other subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

 

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.          Outstanding Shares of the Corporation.

 

As of the date first written above prior to the issuance of this Warrant, assuming implementation of the Merger Reverse Split, and further assuming that the Corporation will not enter into any other transactions in which it issues capital stock of the Corporation or other securities convertible into capital stock of the Corporation prior to the Merger Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, would not exceed forty five million (45,000,000).

 

8.          Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

9.          Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

 

(b)          Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 9(c) below, which provisions are intended to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be transferred by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time.

 

(c)          Method of Transfer. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities, the Holder hereof shall, prior to such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition:

 

(i)         surrender this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares at the principal executive offices of the Corporation or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation;

 

(ii)        pay any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid;

 

(iii)      deliver a written assignment to the Corporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or appropriate stock power duly completed and executed prior to transfer, describing briefly the manner thereof; and

 

(iv)       deliver a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, to the effect that such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect and any applicable state securities law then in effect) of the Securities.

As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the items set forth above, the Corporation shall notify the Holder that it may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Corporation. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9(c) that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify the Holder promptly with details of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act if the Corporation satisfied the provisions thereof and provided that the Holder shall furnish such information as the Corporation may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel to the Holder and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such new Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion transferred and will issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion not transferred as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such transfer. In addition, the Holder will comply with all other applicable securities legislation in addition to the Securities Act to which the Holder is subject in selling or transferring any Warrants or Warrant Shares and the Corporation may refuse to register any sale or transfer not in compliance with such other securities legislation.

 

10.         Payment of Taxes

 

The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant that may be imposed under the laws of the United States or by any state, political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Warrant or certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of such Warrant, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

11.         Notices and Payments

 

Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon, (a) personal delivery or telecopy, (b) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as a party may designate by written notice to each of the other parties hereto or (c) four (4) Business Days following the date of deposit in the United States mails, first-class postage prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as a party may designate by written notice to each of the other parties hereto.

6.Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows. Each of the adjustments provided by the subsections below shall be deemed separate adjustments and any adjustment of this Warrant pursuant to one subsection of this Section 6 shall preclude additional adjustments for the same event or transaction by the remaining subsections.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares.

 

(i)          On October 12, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 16, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Corporation completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”). In the Merger Agreement, the Corporation agreed to implement a reverse stock split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-800 of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Merger (the “Merger Reverse Split”). When this Merger Reverse Split is implemented, it shall have no effect on this Warrant. Neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased on account of the Merger Reverse Split.

 

(ii)         Other than the Merger Reverse Split, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all other subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

(c)          Common Stock Dividends. If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

 

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.Outstanding Shares of the Corporation.

 

As of the date first written above prior to the issuance of this Warrant, assuming implementation of the Merger Reverse Split, and further assuming that the Corporation will not enter into any other transactions in which it issues capital stock of the Corporation or other securities convertible into capital stock of the Corporation prior to the Merger Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, would not exceed forty five million (45,000,000).

 

8.Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

9.Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

5.           Rights of the Holder

 

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote the Warrant Shares or receive dividends on or be deemed the holder of such shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

6.           Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares.

 

(i)          On October 12, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 16, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Corporation completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”). In the Merger Agreement, the Corporation agreed to implement a reverse stock split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-800 of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Merger (the “Merger Reverse Split”). When this Merger Reverse Split is implemented, it shall have no effect on this Warrant. Neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased on account of the Merger Reverse Split.

 

(ii)         Other than the Merger Reverse Split, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all other subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

 

(c)          Common Stock Dividends. If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

 

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

7.           Outstanding Shares of the Corporation.

 

As of the date first written above prior to the issuance of this Warrant, assuming implementation of the Merger Reverse Split, and further assuming that the Corporation will not enter into any other transactions in which it issues capital stock of the Corporation or other securities convertible into capital stock of the Corporation prior to the Merger Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, would not exceed forty five million (45,000,000).

 

8.           Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

9.           Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

(b)          Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 9(c) below and the foregoing sentence, which provisions are intended to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be transferred by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time.

 

(c)          Method of Transfer. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities, the Holder hereof shall, prior to such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition:

 

(i)          surrender this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares at the principal executive offices of the Corporation or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation;

 

(ii)         pay any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid;

 

(iii)        deliver a written assignment to the Corporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or appropriate stock power duly completed and executed prior to transfer, describing briefly the manner thereof; and

 

(iv)         deliver a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, to the effect that such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect and any applicable state securities law then in effect) of the Securities.

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the items set forth above, the Corporation shall notify the Holder that it may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Corporation. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9(c) that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify the Holder promptly with details of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act if the Corporation satisfied the provisions thereof and provided that the Holder shall furnish such information as the Corporation may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel to the Holder and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such new Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion transferred and will issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion not transferred as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such transfer (such new warrants issued upon any partial transfer are collectively referred to as “Partial Transfer Warrants”).

2.           Exercise of Warrants

 

(a)          Condition Precedent to Exercise.

(d)          Corporation’s Option to Shorten Term. Notwithstanding Section 2(b), the Corporation may elect to shorten the term of this Warrant by moving the Expiration Date to the date six months from the day that all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(ii)         the Corporation has publicly announced the Section 2(d)(i) ratification or closing of the acquisition, as the case may be;

(iv)        the Corporation provides notice to Holder of its election to shorten the Warrant’s term within twenty (20) Business Days of the last of the conditions in (i), (ii) and (iii) to occur.

 

(e)          Holder’s Option to Lengthen Term. If the Expiration Date has been moved pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(d), then Holder may elect to extend the term of the Warrant by moving the Expiration Date forward one calendar day for every Trading Day that the thirty day average trailing trading volume of the Corporation’s common stock is greater than $750 million ($750,000,000) (each qualifying Trading Day a “Lengthening Day”), provided, however, that the Expiration Date shall not be moved past the date that the Warrant was originally set to expire pursuant to Section 1, as such date may have been extended pursuant to Section 2(b). Holder must provide notice to the Corporation of each election to lengthen the Warrant’s term within 20 Business Days of the expiration of the month in which the Lengthening Day(s) occurred.

 

(f)          Method of Exercise. So long as the condition in Section 2(a) has been satisfied, the Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in partial allotments, at the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, payable at such Holder's election by cash, certified or official bank check, or wire transfer to an account designated by the Corporation. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares then being purchased (collectively referred to as the “Exercise Materials”), the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, provided the 61 day period referenced in Section 2(c) of this Warrant has expired.

(g)          Issuance of Stock Certificates.

4.           Mutilation or Loss of Warrant

 

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Warrant or stock certificate, the Corporation will issue and deliver a new warrant (containing the same terms as this Warrant) or stock certificate, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate, and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate shall thereupon become void.

 

5.           Rights of the Holder

 

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote the Warrant Shares or receive dividends on or be deemed the holder of such shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

6.           Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares.

 

(i)          On October 12, 2012, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 16, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), the Corporation completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”). In the Merger Agreement, the Corporation agreed to implement a reverse stock split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-800 of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Merger (the “Merger Reverse Split”). When this Merger Reverse Split is implemented, it shall have no effect on this Warrant. Neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased on account of the Merger Reverse Split.

 

(ii)         Other than the Merger Reverse Split, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all other subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

 

(c)          Common Stock Dividends. If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

 

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

7.           Outstanding Shares of the Corporation.

 

As of the date first written above prior to the issuance of this Warrant, assuming implementation of the Merger Reverse Split, and further assuming that the Corporation will not enter into any other transactions in which it issues capital stock of the Corporation or other securities convertible into capital stock of the Corporation prior to the Merger Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding, on a fully-diluted basis, would not exceed forty five million (45,000,000).

 

8.           Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

9.           Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

 

(b)          Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 9(c) below and the foregoing sentence, which provisions are intended to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be transferred by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time.

Warrant Certificate No. 6

 

 

(c)          Method of Transfer. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities, the Holder hereof shall, prior to such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition:

 

(i)          surrender this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares at the principal executive offices of the Corporation or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation;

 

(ii)         pay any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid;

 

(iii)        deliver a written assignment to the Corporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or appropriate stock power duly completed and executed prior to transfer, describing briefly the manner thereof; and

 

(iv)        deliver a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, to the effect that such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect and any applicable state securities law then in effect) of the Securities.

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the items set forth above, the Corporation shall notify the Holder that it may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Corporation. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9(c) that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify the Holder promptly with details of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act if the Corporation satisfied the provisions thereof and provided that the Holder shall furnish such information as the Corporation may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel to the Holder and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such new Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion transferred and will issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion not transferred as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such transfer (such new warrants issued upon any partial transfer are collectively referred to as “Partial Transfer Warrants”). In addition, the Holder will comply with all other applicable securities legislation in addition to the Securities Act to which the Holder is subject in selling or transferring any Warrants or Warrant Shares and the Corporation may refuse to register any sale or transfer not in compliance with such other securities legislation.

 

10.         Payment of Taxes

 

The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant that may be imposed under the laws of the United States or by any state, political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Warrant or certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of such Warrant, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

5.           Rights of the Holder

 

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote the Warrant Shares or receive dividends on or be deemed the holder of such shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

6.           Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows. Each of the adjustments provided by the subsections below shall be deemed separate adjustments and any adjustment of this Warrant pursuant to one subsection of this Section 6 shall preclude additional adjustments for the same event or transaction by the remaining subsections.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares. While this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

 

(c)          Common Stock Dividends. If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.             Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

8.             Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

(b)          Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 8(c) below, which provisions are intended to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be transferred by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time.

 

(c)          Method of Transfer. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities, the Holder hereof shall, prior to such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition:

 

(i)          surrender this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares at the principal executive offices of the Corporation or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation;

 

(ii)         pay any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid;

 

(iii)          deliver a written assignment to the Corporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or appropriate stock power duly completed and executed prior to transfer, describing briefly the manner thereof; and

 

(iv)        deliver a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, to the effect that such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect and any applicable state securities law then in effect) of the Securities.

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the items set forth above, the Corporation shall notify the Holder that it may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Corporation. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 8(c) that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify the Holder promptly with details of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act if the Corporation satisfied the provisions thereof and provided that the Holder shall furnish such information as the Corporation may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel to the Holder and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such new Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion transferred and will issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion not transferred as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such transfer. In addition, the Holder will comply with all other applicable securities legislation in addition to the Securities Act to which the Holder is subject in selling or transferring any Warrants or Warrant Shares and the Corporation may refuse to register any sale or transfer not in compliance with such other securities legislation.

 

9.             Payment of Taxes

 

The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant that may be imposed under the laws of the United States or by any state, political subdivision or taxing authority of the United States; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Warrant or certificates for Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of such Warrant, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

5.             Rights of the Holder

 

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote the Warrant Shares or receive dividends on or be deemed the holder of such shares, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

 

6.             Protection Against Dilution.

 

The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment to the nearest whole share (one-half and greater being rounded upward) and nearest cent (one-half cent and greater being rounded upward) from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows. Each of the adjustments provided by the subsections below shall be deemed separate adjustments and any adjustment of this Warrant pursuant to one subsection of this Section 6 shall preclude additional adjustments for the same event or transaction by the remaining subsections.

 

(a)          Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new warrant so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

 

(b)          Subdivision or Combination of Shares. While this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, for all subdivisions (by stock split) or combinations (by reverse stock split) of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, and in each case the nearest whole share, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The provisions of this subparagraph (b)(ii) shall similarly apply to successive subdivisions or

combinations of outstanding shares of capital stock into which this Warrant is exercisable.

Common Stock Purchase Warrant  
 

 

(c)          Common Stock Dividends. If the Corporation at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then: (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Record Date”), to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted, to the nearest whole share, from and after the Record Date by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such Record Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The provisions of this subparagraph (c) shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock dividends by the Corporation.

 

(d)          Other Adjustments Not Expressly Provided. If, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 6 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors may make an appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6. For the avoidance of doubt, while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, any new issuances of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock of the class into which this Warrant is exercisable at a price lower than the Exercise Price shall not result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7.             Notice of Adjustments

 

Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

8.             Securities Laws

 

(a)          Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Warrant Shares being acquired are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resale of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

Such legend shall be removed by the Corporation, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

 

(b)          Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to compliance with Section 8(c) below, which provisions are intended to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be transferred by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time.

 

(c)          Method of Transfer. With respect to any offer, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities, the Holder hereof shall, prior to such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition:

 

(i)          surrender this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares at the principal executive offices of the Corporation or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant or certificate representing Warrant Shares and an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation;

 

(ii)         pay any applicable transfer taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes have been paid;

 

(iii)         deliver a written assignment to the Corporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or appropriate stock power duly completed and executed prior to transfer, describing briefly the manner thereof; and

 

(iv)        deliver a written opinion of such Holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably requested by the Corporation, to the effect that such offer, sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Securities Act as then in effect and any applicable state securities law then in effect) of the Securities.

  

As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the items set forth above, the Corporation shall notify the Holder that it may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Corporation. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 8(c) that the opinion of counsel for the Holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Corporation shall so notify the Holder promptly with details of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act if the Corporation satisfied the provisions thereof and provided that the Holder shall furnish such information as the Corporation may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or Warrant Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel to the Holder and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. Upon any partial transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation will issue and deliver to such new Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion transferred and will issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant (in form and substance similar to this Warrant) with respect to the portion not transferred as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after such transfer. In addition, the Holder will comply with all other applicable securities legislation in addition to the Securities Act to which the Holder is subject in selling or transferring any Warrants or Warrant Shares and the Corporation may refuse to register any sale or transfer not in compliance with such other securities legislation.
