II. REPRESENTATIONS BY AND COVENANTS OF SUBSCRIBER
2.1 Reliance on Exemptions. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering has not been registered with or reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state agency because of the Company’s representations that this is intended to be a non-public offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein and in the Questionnaire in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Units.
2.2 Investment Purpose. The Subscriber represents that the Common Stock, Class D Warrants, and Options comprising the Units are being purchased for its own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Common Stock, the Class D Warrants, the Options or the shares of Common Stock underlying the Class D Warrants and Options (collectively, the “Securities”) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
2.3 Accredited Investor. The Subscriber represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by its responses to the Questionnaire, and that it is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Units. The Subscriber further represents and warrants that the information furnished in the Questionnaire is accurate and complete in all material respects.
2.4 Risk of Investment. The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk in that: (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; and (iii) the Company may require substantial additional funds to operate its business.
2.5 Information. The Subscriber acknowledges careful review of this Subscription Agreement, and hereby represents that: (i) the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which it has requested; and (ii) that the Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers of the Company concerning the Company’s business and prospects and the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional information which it has requested. The Subscriber further acknowledges that it is aware of and has had the opportunity to access and review all of the Company’s periodic reports as filed with the SEC and publically available, including, but not limited to the risk factors detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the 2009 fiscal year.
2.6 No Representations. The Subscriber hereby represents that no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company, and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
2.7 Tax Consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering may involve tax consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Units.

 

 


 

2.8 Transfer or Resale. The Subscriber acknowledges that there is a limited public market for the Company’s securities and the Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a minimum holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Subscriber acknowledges that while Rule 144 presently is available with respect to the resale of any Securities to be purchased in the Offering by the Subscriber (subject to applicable holding periods and volume limitations), the Company makes no representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities comprising the Units under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company may permit the transfer of the Securities out of the Subscriber’s name only when the Subscriber’s request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
2.9 Legends. The Subscriber understands that the certificates representing the Securities, until such time as they have been registered under the Securities Act, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if (a) such Securities are being sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, or (b) such holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a reasonably acceptable form to the Company, that a disposition of the Securities may be made pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction.
2.10 No General Solicitation. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber was not induced to invest by any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, but not limited to, the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the news or radio; or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or advertising.
2.11 Validity; Enforcement. If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, the Subscriber represents and warrants that: (a) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the Units; and (b) that this Subscription Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the undersigned.
2.12 Address; Identification Number. The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the undersigned’s principal residence if the Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity, and that the taxpayer identification number or social security number, as applicable, furnished herein is correct.

 

 


 

2.13 Foreign Subscriber. If the Subscriber is not a United States person, such Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Units or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including: (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Such Subscriber’s subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
2.14 NASD Member. The Subscriber acknowledges that if it is a registered representative of a NASD member firm, the Subscriber must give such firm notice required by the NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.
2.15 Confidentiality. The Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided by the Company to the Subscriber, in connection with the Subscriber’s decision to purchase the Company’s Securities (the “Information”), is confidential and may constitute material, non-public information, and the Subscriber agrees to maintain the Information in confidence and not to disclose or trade on the basis of such Information; provided, however, that the Subscriber’s obligations shall not apply to any Information that (i) is part of the public domain or literature and readily accessible at the date hereof; or (ii) becomes part of the public domain or literature and readily accessible by publication by means of a press release or other appropriate disclosure mechanism as permitted under Regulation FD promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, this obligation does not prohibit discussion by the Subscriber of the Information with the Subscriber’s counsel, accountant, or other financial advisor solely for the purpose of assisting in an analysis and assessment of the Information and the Offering.

Exhibit A
Warrant for the Purchase of [     ]
Shares of Common Stock
Par Value $0.001
CLASS D WARRANT AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”)
THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, BOTH WITH RESPECT TO THE WARRANT AND COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANT, AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE LAWS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
This is to certify that, for value received,                                                             , (the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of [   ] shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at the purchase price of $2.00 per share (“Warrant Price”). Upon exercise of this warrant in whole or in part, a certificate for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued and delivered to the Holder. If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), less than the total warrant is exercised, a new warrant of similar tenor shall be issued for the unexercised portion of the warrants represented by this Agreement.
This warrant is granted subject to the following further terms and conditions:
3. This warrant shall be exercisable at any time or from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Warrant by the Company on the date hereof and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is two (2) years following the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”). In order to exercise this warrant with respect to all or any part of the Warrant Shares for which this warrant is at the time exercisable, Holder (or in the case of exercise after Holder’s death, Holder’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must take the following actions:
(a) Deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Company an executed notice of exercise substantially in the form of notice attached to this Agreement (the “Exercise Notice”) in which there is specified the number of Warrant Shares that are to be purchased under the exercised warrant;
(b) Tender payment of the aggregate Warrant Price for the purchased shares in cash or by check made payable to the Company’s order; and
(c) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the warrant (if other than Holder) have the right to exercise the warrant.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Exercise Date” shall be the date on which the executed Exercise Notice shall have been delivered to the Company.

 

 


 

(e) Upon such exercise, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered, with all reasonable dispatch (and in any event within five business days of such exercise), to or upon the written order of the Holder at its address, and in the name of the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise, together with such other property (including cash) and securities as may then be deliverable upon such exercise. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.
2. The Holder acknowledges that this warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, or other law or regulation, and the Warrant Shares have not been and will not be registered as of the date of exercise of this warrant under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Holder acknowledges that this warrant and the Warrant Shares, when and if issued, are and will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any other applicable state registration requirements. Except as provided herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the securities under the Securities Act or under applicable state statutes. In the absence of such a registration or an available exemption from registration, sale of the Warrant Shares may be practicably impossible. The Holder shall confirm to the Company the representations set forth above in connection with the exercise of all or any portion of this warrant.
3. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant and the Warrant Price per share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In the event that the Company should at any time, or from time to time, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split, either forward or reverse, subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased in proportion to such increase or decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
(b) Whenever there is an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a), the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to an amount proportionate to the adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares.
(c) If at any time, or from time to time, there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination, or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3) provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this warrant the number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such recapitalization assuming this warrant was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this warrant after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

 


 

(d) If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation, or shall sell, lease, or convey to another corporation the assets of the Company as an entity or substantially as an entity (any one or more of such transactions being a “Corporate Transaction”), provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this warrant the number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such Corporate Transaction assuming this warrant was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this warrant after the Corporate Transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
4. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be delivered upon the exercise of this warrant will, upon delivery, be free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the purchase thereof; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any income tax liability of the Holder.
5. The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to cover the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this warrant.
6. This warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever, except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of this warrant or the Warrant Shares until or unless, and except to the extent that, this warrant shall be exercised.
7. The Company may deem and treat the registered owner of this warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
8. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.
9. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
12. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the person to whom a warrant is granted hereunder, and such person’s heirs, executors, administrators, legatees, personal representatives, assignees, and transferees.
13. The Company shall not have any right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.

Exercise Notice
(to be signed only upon exercise of Warrant)
TO: SANWUWAVE HEALTH, INC.
The Holder of the attached warrant hereby irrevocable elects to exercise the purchase rights represented by the warrant for, and to purchase thereunder,                                                              shares of common stock of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and herewith makes payment therefor, and requests that the certificate(s) for such shares be delivered to the Holder at:
 
 
 
If acquired without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), the Holder represents that the Common Stock is being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution thereof without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes, and that the Holder has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking. The Holder understands that the Common Stock has not been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with these exemptions. The Holder acknowledges that the Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act or any state securities law, except as provided in the Agreement for the warrant. The certificates representing the Common Stock will bear a legend restricting transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities statutes.
The Holder agrees and acknowledges that this purported exercise of the warrant is conditioned on, and subject to, any compliance with requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws deemed necessary by the Company.
DATED this                      day of                                                              ,                     .

Exhibit B
Option for the Purchase of [     ] Units
UNIT OPTION AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”)
THE HOLDER OF THIS OPTION, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, WITH RESPECT TO THE OPTION, THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE OPTION, AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF THE CLASS D WARRANT (WHICH IS ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE OPTION) AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE LAWS OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE STATUTES, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
This is to certify that, for value received,                                         , (the “Holder”) is entitled to purchase from SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of                      Units, at a price of $2.00 per Unit (the “Option Price”). A “Unit” consists of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) a two-year common stock purchase warrant (the “Class D Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Warrant Price”), in the form attached hereto as Annex A. Upon exercise of this Option in whole or in part, a certificate for the Common Stock so purchased shall be issued and delivered to the Holder, and a Class D Warrant so purchased shall be issued and delivered to the Holder. If, at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), less than the total Option is exercised, a new Option of similar tenor shall be issued for the unexercised portion of the options represented by this Agreement.
This Option is granted subject to the following further terms and conditions:
4. This Option shall be exercisable at any time or from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company on the date hereof and shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”). In order to exercise this Option with respect to all or any number of the Units for which this Option is at the time exercisable, Holder (or in the case of exercise after Holder’s death, Holder’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must take the following actions:
(a) Deliver to the Corporate Secretary of the Company an executed notice of exercise substantially in the form of notice attached to this Agreement (the “Exercise Notice”) in which there is specified the number of Units that are to be purchased under the exercised Option;
(b) Tender payment of the aggregate Option Price for the purchased Units in cash or by check made payable to the Company’s order; and
(c) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the Option (if other than Holder) have the right to exercise the Option.

 

 


 

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Exercise Date” shall be the date on which the executed Exercise Notice shall have been delivered to the Company.
Upon such exercise, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered, with all reasonable dispatch (and in any event within five business days of such exercise), to or upon the written order of the Holder at its address, and in the name of the Holder, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Option or portion of this Option exercised and (ii) a Class D Warrant exercisable at the Warrant Price for the same number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Option or portion of this Option exercised. Such certificate or certificates and warrant or warrants shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock and Class D Warrant as of the Exercise Date.
2. The Holder acknowledges that this Option may not be exercised if the issuance of the Common Stock or Class D Warrant upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws, or other law or regulation, and the Common Stock, the Class D Warrant and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Class D Warrant, have not been and will not be registered as of the date of exercise of this Option under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state. The Holder acknowledges that this Option and the Common Stock and the Class D Warrant, when and if issued, as well as any stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant, are and will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any other applicable state registration requirements. Except as provided herein, the Company is under no obligation to register, the Option, the Common Stock, the Class D Warrant, or any stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant, under the Securities Act or under applicable state statutes. In the absence of such a registration or an available exemption from registration, sale of any such securities may be practicably impossible. The Holder shall confirm to the Company the representations set forth above in connection with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option.
3. The number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares covered by the Class D Warrants purchasable upon the exercise of this Option, the Option Price per share, and the Warrant Price, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In the event that the Company should at any time, or from time to time, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split, either forward or reverse, subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, or the determination of holders of the Company’s common stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of the Company’s common stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of the Company’s common stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the number of shares of Common Stock and the number of shares covered by the Class D Warrants purchasable hereunder shall be appropriately increased or decreased in proportion to such increase or decrease in the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
(b) Whenever there is an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock and the number of shares covered by the Class D Warrants purchasable upon the exercise of this Option pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a), the Option Price and the Warrant Price shall each be adjusted to an amount proportionate to the adjustment in the number of Common Stock and the number of shares covered by the Class D Warrants.

 

 


 

(c) If at any time, or from time to time, there shall be a recapitalization of the Company’s common stock (other than a subdivision or combination, or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3), provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Option the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company, Class D Warrants to purchase shares or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such recapitalization assuming this Option was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Option after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Option Price and Warrant Price then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock and Class D Warrants to purchase shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(d) If at any time, or from time to time, the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation, or shall sell, lease, or convey to another corporation the assets of the Company as an entity or substantially as an entity (any one or more of such transactions being a “Corporate Transaction”), provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Option the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, Common Stock Equivalents or property of the Company, Class D Warrants to purchase shares or otherwise, to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such Corporate Transaction assuming this Option was exercised immediately prior thereto. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder of this Option after the Corporate Transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Option Price and Warrant Price then in effect and the number of Common Stock and Class D Warrants to purchase shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
4. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock and Class D Warrants which may be delivered upon the exercise of this Option will, upon delivery, be free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the purchase thereof; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation with respect to any income tax liability of the Holder.
5. The Company agrees at all times to reserve or hold available a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s common stock to cover the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Option and the exercise of the Class D Warrant issued upon exercise of this Option.
6. This Option shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever, except the rights herein expressed, and no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Option, the Common Stock or Class D Warrants until or unless, and except to the extent that, this Option, or, with respect to shares issued upon exercise of the Class D Warrant, the Warrant, shall be exercised.
7. The Company may deem and treat the registered owner of this Option as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
8. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions shall be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

 

 


 

9. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
10. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the person to whom an option is granted hereunder, and such person’s heirs, executors, administrators, legatees, personal representatives, assignees, and transferees.

Exercise Notice
(to be signed only upon exercise of Option)
TO: SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC.
The Holder of the attached option hereby irrevocable elects to exercise the purchase rights represented by the Option for, and to purchase thereunder,                                                              Units (defined below) and herewith makes payment therefor, and requests that the certificate(s) for the Common Stock (defined below) and Class D Warrant(s) (defined below) be delivered to the Holder at:
 
 
 
A “Unit” consists of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) a two-year common stock purchase warrant (the “Class D Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.00.
If acquired without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), the Holder represents that the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant are being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution thereof without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes, and that the Holder has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking. The Holder understands that the Common Stock and the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant have not been registered, but are being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the Common Stock, the Class D Warrant, or the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with these exemptions. The Holder acknowledges that the Common Stock, the Class D Warrant and the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock, the Class D Warrant or the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant, under the Securities Act or any state securities law, except as provided in the Agreement for the Option. The certificates representing the Common Stock and the shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrant will bear a legend restricting transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities statutes.

 

 


 

The Holder agrees and acknowledges that this purported exercise of the Option is conditioned on, and subject to, any compliance with requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws deemed necessary by the Company.
