WHEREAS, the Holder wishes to exchange their Existing Warrant for Common Stock of the Company;

 

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1. Exchange of Existing Warrant. The Holder shall surrender the Existing Warrant for, and the Company shall cancel the Existing Warrant and in exchange, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, shall issue to Holder, [Redacted] shares of Common Stock (adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits after the date hereof) (the “Shares”).

The Company shall issue the Series A Shares in tranches that can be traced to each of the Existing Warrants.

 

2. Cancellation and Surrender of Existing Warrant. Holder agrees that the Existing Warrant shall be deemed canceled and have no further force or effect.

(a) The Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized.

(b) The Holder has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and such execution, delivery and consummation have been duly authorized by all necessary action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. The Holder is the owner, beneficially and of record, of the Existing Warrant, free and clear of any encumbrances.

 

(c) This Agreement is made with the Holder in reliance upon the Holder’s representation, which by the Holder’s execution of this Agreement the Holder hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by the Holder are and will be acquired for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

(d) The Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information supplied or to which it had access.

 

(e) The Holder acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is a speculative risk and is able to bear the economic risk of its investment (including possible complete loss of such investment) for an indefinite period of time and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.

 

(f) The Holder understands that the Shares to be acquired hereunder are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the legend described in Section 3(g) below. The Holder represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(g) The Holder understands that each of the certificates evidencing the Shares to be acquired hereunder may bear the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (ii) THIS COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES SATISFACTORY TO THIS COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (iii) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.”

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, any provision of the Company’s organizational documents, (ii) constitute, with or without notice or the passage of time or both, a breach violation or default under any law, rule, regulation, permit, license, agreement or other instrument of the Company or to which the Company or the Company’s property is subject, or (iii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or notification to, or filing with, any federal, state, local or foreign court, governmental agency or regulatory or administrative authority on the part of the Company.
