Void after

This Warrant is issued to Monarch Capital Group, LLC. (“Holder”) by CNS Response, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its services under the placement agent agreement dated January 19, 2011 by and between the Company and the Holder in connection with the Company’s private placement of unsecured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $________, convertible into _________ shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Note”),  to ____ accredited investors introduced to the Company by the Holder.

1.           Purchase of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company up to __________fully paid and nonassessable Shares (as defined below) at the Exercise Price (as defined below).

2.           Definitions.

(a)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price for the Shares initially shall be $0.33 per share (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price”).

(b)           Exercise Period.  This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending on the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 14 hereof.

(c)           The Shares.  The term “Shares” shall mean shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

3.           Method of Exercise.  While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with the terms hereof, the holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby.  Such exercise shall be effected by:

(i)      the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and

(ii)     the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, either in cash (through a check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company) or as provided in Section 4 below.

 

 

4.           Net Exercise.  In lieu of making a cash payment upon the exercise of this Warrant, the holder of this Warrant may, at such holder’s option. elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

	Y (A - B)
X =	A

Where

X —	The number of Shares to be issued to the holder of this Warrant.
Y —	The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant.
A —	The fair market value of one Share.
B —	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the closing price of the Shares quoted in the over-the-counter market or any exchange on which the Shares are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of determination of fair market value.  If the Shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

5.           Certificates for Shares.  Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice.

6.           Issuance of Shares.  The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

7.           Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a)           Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances.  If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.  Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

 

(b)           Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof, including Sections 7(a), shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

(c)           Ratchet. In the event the Company shall issue Shares, or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Shares (excluding in each case shares issued (i) in any of the transactions described in Subsections (a) and (b) above, (ii) upon exercise of options granted to the Company’s employees, directors, consultants or officers under a plan or plans or individual compensation arrangements adopted by the Company’s board of directors, if such shares would otherwise be included in this Subsection (c), (iii) upon conversion of shares or exercise of options and warrants outstanding as of the date hereof, or (iv) to shareholders of any Company which merges into the Company in proportion to their stock holdings of such Company immediately prior to such merger, upon such merger), for consideration per share, exercise price per share, conversion price per share or exchange price per share (as the case may be)(“Offering Price”) less than the then applicable Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal such Offering Price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased immediately thereafter.  Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made.

(d)           Notice of Adjustment.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

8.           No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

9.           Representations of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants to Holder that the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2 of the Agreement are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof. In addition, the Company represents that the Shares necessary for a cash exercise of this Warrant are duly reserved.

10.         Representations and Warranties by the Holder.  The Holder represents and warrants to the Company that the representations and warranties made by the Holder in Section 3 of the Agreement are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof.
