Warrant No. 10-2013

Number of Shares: 100,000

 

1.                                      Issuance.  This Warrant is issued to Jan Lok by SFX Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter with its successors called the “Company”).  This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Option Agreement by and between Amazing Holding BV (an Entity that is majority-owned by Jan Lok) and SFXE Netherlands Holdings B.V. (an affiliate of the Company) dated as of December 16, 2013 (the “Option Agreement”), and constitutes the “Warrants” defined therein.  Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 6 hereof.

 

2.                                      Warrant Price; Number of Shares; Exercise of Warrant.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the registered holder of this Warrant (the “Holder”), commencing on the Option Exercise Date, is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the Exercise Notice (as defined below) and payment of the Warrant Price (as defined below), at the office of the Company at 430 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022, or such other office as the Company shall notify the Holder of in writing (“Principal Office”), to purchase from the Company at a price per share (the “Warrant Price”) of $10.00 per share, one hundred thousand (100,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”).  Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Warrant Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.  This Warrant shall not be exercisable prior to the Option Exercise Date.  If the Option Exercise is not consummated prior to or on the Target Date, this Warrant shall expire and shall be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that if SFXE Netherlands Holdings B.V. and Amazing Holding BV agree to modify the Target Date, then the foregoing date of expiration of this Warrant shall be correspondingly modified.  If the Option Exercise is consummated prior to or on the Target Date, this Warrant will thereafter be exercisable and will be void after 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Option Exercise Date (the “Expiration Date”).  If the Expiration Date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding day which is not such a day in accordance with the terms herein.

(a)                                 Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Share is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), to the extent the Holder does not elect to pay cash upon the deemed exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

X=                                the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y=                                the number of Shares deemed purchased under the Warrant for which the Holder is not paying cash;

 

A=                                the Fair Market Value of one Share; and

 

B=                                the Warrant Price.

 

For purposes of this Section 3(a), the “Fair Market Value” of a Share is defined as follows:

 

(i)             if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the closing price on such exchange prior to the Exercise Notice being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; or

 

(ii)          if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the closing bid prior to the Exercise Notice being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Warrant; if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

4.                                      Exercise Notice. If the Holder wishes to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder must deliver to the Company, at its Principal Office, written notice of the exercise of the Warrant in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (“Exercise Notice”).

 

5.                                      Issuance Date.  The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof at the close of business on the date this Warrant is

8.                                      Representations and Warranties of Holder.  The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a)                                 The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Shares to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”) for investment purposes only, for the Holder’s own account, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

(b)                                 The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Holder’s investment in the Securities.

(d)                                 The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(e)                                  The Holder:

(ii)                                        is not acquiring the Securities for the account or on behalf of any U.S. Person;

 

(iii)                                     was outside the United States at the time the offer to acquire the Securities was received and as of the date hereof;

 

4



 

(iv)                                    is not acquiring the Securities for the purpose of sale or distribution in the United States in a manner that does not comply with the requirements of Regulation S;

 

(v)                                       acknowledges that the Securities bear a restrictive legend to the effect that the Company might, in order to approve removal of the restrictive legend from certificates evidencing the Securities, require from the Holder (A) certain written representations to indicate that a sale of the Securities was made in a transaction that complies with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to a registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (B) a legal opinion that removal of the legend is appropriate;

 

(vi)                                    acknowledges that the Securities are not permitted to be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance with Regulation S or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

 

(vii)                                 has not made any pre-arrangement to transfer any of the Securities to a U.S. Person or to return any of the Securities to the United States securities markets (which includes short sales and hedging transactions in the United States within the periods restricted under Regulation S) and is not acquiring the Securities as part of any plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

 

(viii)                              has not engaged in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States regarding any of the Securities and has not engaged in any act intended to or that reasonably might have the effect of preconditioning the United States market for the resale of any of the Securities;

 

(ix)                                    is not a “distributor” (as defined in Regulation S) and is not an officer, Director, or “affiliate” (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of any of the Company or an “underwriter” or “dealer” (as such terms are defined in the federal securities Laws of the United States); and

 

(x)                                       does not have a short position in, or other hedged position with respect to, any of the Securities or any other securities in the Company.

thereafter be convertible into the kind and number of Shares or other securities or property of the Company or its successor or otherwise to which the Holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such change the Holder had acquired the Shares.  If the Shares are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of Shares, the Warrant Price under this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced in the case of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the case of combination of Shares in both cases by the ratio which the total number of Shares to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

10.                               Fractional Shares.  In no event shall any fractional Share be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant.  If, upon exercise of this Warrant as an entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 10, be entitled to receive a fractional Share, then the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one Share, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company at such time multiplied by such fraction.

 

11.                               Certificate of Adjustment.  Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company setting forth the Warrant Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

12.                               Amendment.  The terms of this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder of this Warrant.

 

13.                               Transfers; Lost, Mutilated Warrant.

 

(a)                                    Unregistered Security.  The holder of record hereof acknowledges that this Warrant and the Common Stock of the Company have not been registered under the Securities Act, and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of (except for transfers to affiliates or transfers pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) this Warrant or any Common Stock issued upon its exercise or any Common Stock issued upon the conversion of such Common Stock in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Common Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Common Stock under any relevant U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.  Each certificate or other instrument for Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

(c)                          In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue a new warrant of like tenor and denomination and deliver the same (i) in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of any mutilated Warrant, or (ii) in lieu of any Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant (including a reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of any loss, theft or destruction) and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

(d)                                            If requested by the lead managing underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of shares of the Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, unless expressly authorized to do so by the lead managing underwriter, the Holder agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without the prior written consent of such underwriter for such period of time, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, from the effective date of such registration as the underwriters may specify; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be subject to such market stand-off obligation unless all of the Company’s directors and officers have entered into lock-up arrangements or market stand-off agreements with the managing underwriter. The underwriter may request such additional written agreements in furtherance of such stand-off in the form reasonably satisfactory to such underwriter. The Company may also impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period.

 

14.                               No Rights as Shareholders.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, information rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.  No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in connection with this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable under this Warrant until and only to the extent that this Warrant has been exercised.

 

15.                               No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of assets, dissolution, liquidation, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms.
