Common Stock Warrant

 

Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that _______________ or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms of this Common Stock Warrant (the “Warrant”) set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before five (5) years from date of issue (the “Expiration Date”), up to _________ shares (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) of common stock of the Company, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a per share exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) equal to Forty-Five Cents ($.45) (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2) pursuant to that certain Private Placement Memorandum dated December 2, 2015, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Memorandum”). This Warrant is one of a series of warrants of like tenor that are being issued in connection with the Company’s private offering to select, accredited investors of units. Each unit is comprised of (a) One (1) 9% convertible promissory note (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of $30,000, which shall be convertible into shares (the “Note Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company, $.00001 par value, (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $.30 per share and (b) a five-year warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of our Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), at the Exercise Price. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Memorandum

 

1.          Exercise.

 

(a)          Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price payable with respect to the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise. The Exercise Price must be paid by cash, check or wire transfer in immediately available funds or, where permitted by law and provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, through a "same day sale" commitment from the Warrant Holder and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of Securities Dealers (a "FINRA Dealer"), whereby the Registered Holder irrevocably elects to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Warrant Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Warrant Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company.

 

 - 1 - 
 

 

(b)          Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company (the “Exercise Date”) as provided in this Section 1. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

 

(c)          Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter (the “Warrant Shares Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(i)          a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

 

(ii)         in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Shares equal (giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a).

 

(d) Limitations on Exercises.

 

(i)                                    Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Registered Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Registered Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Registered Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Registered Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for, exercise. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Registered Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Registered Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

 - 2 - 
 

 

(ii)         Principal Market Regulation. In order to comply with the rules and regulations of the NYSE MKT, LLC (the “Principal Market”), the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would, when added to the number of Note Shares issued upon conversion of the Note, exceed 32,324,4561 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the “Exchange Cap”), based upon the total issued and outstanding number of shares of common stock as of the preceding trading day of the Issuance Date, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount. For so long as the Exchange Cap is applicable, no Registered Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise of any Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the Purchase Price paid by such Registered Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement divided by (2) the Purchase Price paid by all Registered Holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (with respect to each Registered Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Registered Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Registered Holder’s Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Registered Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Warrants so transferred, and the restrictions in this Section 1(d)(ii) shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon exercise in full of a holder’s Warrants, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder's exercise in full of such Warrants shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants then held by each such holder.

 

 

 

1 Such number represents 20% of total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 2, 2015 minus one share.

 

 - 3 - 
 

 

(e)          Cashless Exercise. If at any time after six months from the issuance date of this Warrant, a registration statement registering the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then effective, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

2.          Adjustments.

 

(a)          Stock Splits and Dividends. If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b)          Merger Sale, Reclassification, Etc. In case of any (i) consolidation or merger (including a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (ii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders (other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification, change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(b); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization.

 

 - 4 - 
 

 

(c)          Subsequent Equity Sales within first 24 Months of Issuance Date.  If, within 24 months after the Issuance Date while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Exercise Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.   The Company shall notify the Registered Holder in writing, no later than the trading day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Registered Holder are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Exercise Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Exercise Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.

 

Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Issuance Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the Issuance Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person (or to the equityholders of a person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, and (d) restricted shares of Common Stock without any registration rights issued in satisfaction of up to $200,000 in pre-Closing indebtedness and trade payables.

 

 - 5 - 
 

 

(d) Subsequent Equity Sales within 12 months after first 24 Months of Issuance Date.  If, within 12 months after 24 months after the Issuance Date while this Warrant is outstanding, in the event of the Dilutive Issuance, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance.

 

(e) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

4.          Transfers.

 

(a)          Unregistered Security. The holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.

5.          No Impairment.

 - 9 - 
 

 

(c)          Disposition of Holder’s Rights. In no event will the Registered Holder make a disposition of the Warrant or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability of any of its rights to acquire Common Stock or Common Stock issuable on the exercise of such rights do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of any of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Common Stock when (i) such security shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration or (ii) such security shall have been sold without registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (iii) a letter shall have been issued to the Registered Holder at its request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Registered Holder at its request by the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by such staff or taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, if such security is transferred without registration under the Securities Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling specifies that no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove provided, the Registered Holder or holder of a share of common stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Common Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.

 

(d)          Financial Risk. The Registered Holder has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with its investment.

 

(e)          Accredited Investor. The Registered Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

18.         Representations and Warranties of the Company. This Warrant has been entered into by the Registered Holder in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Company:

 

(a)          Authorization. The Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
