2.     INVESTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

a.     Investment Purpose. Investor is purchasing the Securities for its own account and not with a present view towards public sale, distribution or transfer thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, Investor does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

 

b.     Accredited Investor Status. Investor is, and shall continue to be during all times Investor owns the Securities and at the time of the exercise of the Put Right, an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act (an “Accredited Investor”).

 

c.     Reliance on Exemptions. Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Investor to acquire the Securities.

 

d.     Information. Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by Investor or its advisors. Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has offered or sold Investor the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. Investor is sophisticated and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Investor is capable of evaluating the risks of its investment in the Company. Investor is able to bear the economic risks inherent in its investment in the Company. However, no inquiry nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Investor or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties to Investor.

e.     Governmental Review. Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

 

f.     Transfer or Re-sale. Investor understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (A) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act,or (B) Investor shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company and customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement. 

 

g.     Legends. Investor understands that until such time as the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act and may be sold without any restriction (including without limitation restrictions as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), the Securities may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under said Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.”

 

The Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which such legend is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws, (i) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company and customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. Investor agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.

 

h.     Authorization; Enforcement. Investor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Hong Kong and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements (as defined herein) to which it will be a party and to carry out and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements. All company action on the part of Investor or its officers necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of such Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby has been taken. Assuming the Transaction Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company, each of the Transaction Agreements to which Investor is or will be a party constitute or will when executed, as applicable, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Schedule 3(a) sets forth a list of all of the Subsidiaries of the Company and the jurisdiction in which each is incorporated or organized. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership or use of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any event, circumstance, change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, is materially adverse to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities or results of operations (taken as a whole) of the Company and its Subsidiaries collectively; provided, however, that none of the following shall constitute, or shall be considered in determining whether there has occurred, and no event, circumstance, change or effect resulting from or arising out of any of the following shall constitute, a Material Adverse Effect: (A) the announcement of the execution of this Agreement or the pendency of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the threatened or actual impact on relationships of the Company and its Subsidiaries with customers, vendors, suppliers, distributors, landlords or employees (including the threatened or actual termination, suspension, modification or reduction of such relationships)); (B) changes in the national or world economy or financial markets as a whole or changes in general economic conditions that affect the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct their business, so long as such changes or conditions do not adversely affect the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a materially disproportionate manner relative to other similarly situated participants in the industries or markets in which they operate; (C) any change in applicable law, rule or regulation or U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or interpretation thereof after the date hereof, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a materially disproportionate manner relative to other similarly situated participants in the industries or markets in which they operate; (D) the failure, in and of itself, of the Company to meet any published or internally prepared estimates of revenues, earnings or other financial projections, performance measures or operating statistics; provided, however, that the facts and circumstances underlying any such failure may, except as may be provided in subsections (A), (B), (C), (E) and (F) of this definition, be considered in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (E) a decline in the price, or a change in the trading volume, of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets (or other applicable trading market); and (F) compliance with the terms of, and taking any action required by, this Agreement. “Subsidiaries” means any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, any equity or other ownership interest.

Upon execution by the other parties thereto, and assuming that they constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the other parties thereto, each of the Transaction Agreements constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as rights to indemnity may be limited by applicable federal and state securities laws and principles of public policy.

r.     Environmental Matters.

 

(i)     There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has provided to Investor true and correct copies of all current policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage and commercial general liability coverage.

 

u.     Internal Accounting Controls.

cc.     Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the applicable Closing Date.  Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).  The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the 1934 Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor its internal auditors have recommended that the Company review or investigate, (i) adding to, deleting, changing the application of, or changing the Company’s disclosure with respect to, any of the Company’s material accounting policies; (ii) any matter which could result in a restatement of the Company’s financial statements for any annual or interim period during the current or prior three fiscal years; or (iii) any significant deficiency, material weakness, change in internal controls or fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in internal controls.

 

dd.          Solvency.  Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the applicable Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the First Closing Shares,  the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).  The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the applicable Closing Date.  Schedule 3(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

ff.            Registration Rights.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3(ff), there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any Person granting such Person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such Person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to a registration statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.

j.     Additional Issuances.

 

(1) At any time after the date hereof and through the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof, if the Company shall issue or propose to issue any additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock other than Excluded Securities (the “Additional Securities”), Investor shall have the right to subscribe for and to purchase at the same price per share that number of Additional Securities necessary to maintain the Ownership Percentage (as defined herein below) in the Company on the date that a Subscription Notice (as defined below) is delivered to Investor hereunder. Any offer of Additional Securities made to Investor under this Section 4 (j) shall be made by notice in writing (the “Subscription Notice”) at least 20 business days prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities. The Subscription Notice shall set forth (i) the number of Additional Securities proposed to be issued to any Person other than Investor and the terms of such Additional Securities, (ii) the consideration (or manner of determining the consideration), if any, for which such Additional Securities are proposed to be issued and the terms of payment, (iii) the number of Additional Securities offered to Investor in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4 (j) and (iv) the proposed date of issuance of such Additional Securities. Not later than 10 Business Days after delivery of a Subscription Notice in accordance with the notice provisions hereof, Investor shall deliver a notification to the Company in writing whether it elects to purchase all or any portion of the Additional Securities offered to Investor, pursuant to the Subscription Notice; provided however, that the failure of Investor to respond in writing within 10 Business Days shall be deemed a waiver and negative election by Investor to purchase any of the Additional Securities offered by such Subscription Notice. If the terms of the Additional Securities shall change after the Subscription Notice has been sent, then the Company will provide the Investor with a new Subscription Notice. If Investor elects to purchase any such Additional Securities, the Additional Securities that it shall have elected to purchase shall be issued and sold to Investor by the Company at the same time and on the same terms and conditions as the Additional Securities are issued and sold to third parties. If, for any reason, the issuance of Additional Securities to third parties is not consummated, Investor’s right to its share of such issuance shall lapse, subject to Investor’s ongoing subscription right with respect to issuances of Additional Securities at later dates or times. The term “Excluded Securities” means (i) shares issued upon conversion or exchange of any rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, which rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities were issued prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any shares (other than shares issued pursuant to preceding clause (i)) issued to employees, directors, officers, consultants, or independent contractors of the Company in consideration of past or future services rendered by such parties to the Company or its affiliates under a stock incentive plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Equity Plan Shares”). In the event that any Equity Plan Shares are issued during any fiscal quarter, Investor shall have the right to purchase from the Company, on the first business day of the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter (the “Purchase Date”), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares necessary to maintain the Ownership Percentage (as in effect at the beginning of the first day of such fiscal quarter) for a price per share equal to the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Purchase Date.

(2) The Company represents and covenants to Investor that (i) upon issuance, all the shares of Additional Securities sold to Investor pursuant to this Section 4 (j) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be approved (if outstanding securities of the Company of the same type are at the time already approved) for listing on the OTC Markets or for quotation or listing on the principal trading market for the securities of the Company at the time of issuance, (ii) upon delivery of such shares, they shall be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than any restrictions imposed by applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws (including, without limitations, the laws of the United States) of any nature and shall not be subject to any preemptive right of any stockholder of the Company and (iii) this Section 4 (j) does not and upon the issuance of such Additional Securities will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, each as amended then to date (b) conflict with or constitute a violation by the Company of any applicable law (including the General Corporation Law of Delaware), judgment, order, injunction, decree, rule, regulation or ruling of any governmental authority applicable to the Company the enforcement of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or the ability of the Company to consummate issuance of the Additional Securities and (c) either alone or with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, modify, violate, conflict with, constitute grounds for termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a breach or default of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under any contract, agreement, note bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, franchise, permit, commitment, waiver, exemption, order, obligation, lease, sublease, undertaking, agreement, offer or other instrument, which violation, conflict, termination, acceleration, breach or default would have a material adverse effect on the Company or on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or the ability of the Company to issue such shares.

 

(3) As used herein, the term “Ownership Percentage” shall mean, as of any specified date, the percentage obtained by dividing (i) number of Company-Issued Shares held by Investor on the specified date, by (ii) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such date. “Company-Issued Shares” means shares of Common Stock purchased by Investor pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to the First Closing Warrant or pursuant to this Section 4(j). The Ownership Percentage shall be calculated as of each Subscription Notice. 

 

 

k.     Board of Directors; Appointments. (i) Effective as of the First Closing Date and continuing for a period of five (5) years (or on such earlier date on which Investor and its affiliates cease to own at least 25% of the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement), Investor shall have the right to nominate for election one (1) director and the Board of Directors shall support such nomination. On the First Closing Date, the Board of Directors shall approve the appointments of Lugee Li to the Board of Directors. (ii) Upon the Second / Third Closing Date, the Board of Directors shall approve the appointment of two directors selected by the Investor.

l.     Put Note. If shareholder approval for the Increase is not obtained by May 31, 2016, then the Investor will have the right to put the First Closing Shares to the Company (the “Put Right”) in exchange for the Put Note. If the Investor desires to exercise the Put Right, it must deliver written notice of exercise to the Company on or before October 31, 2016. Within five (5) business days of the exercise of the Put Right, the Company shall deliver a fully-executed Put Note and Security Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, to the Investor.

 

m.     Second / Third Closing Failure. In the event the Investor fails to complete both the Second Closing and the Third Closing by the 90th day after the Increase becomes effective (unless such failure is a result of a material failure of a condition set forth in Section 6(b) hereof), then the rights set forth in Sections 4(k)(ii) and 4(j) hereof shall immediately and automatically terminate. Further, in the event the Investor exercises the Put Right, upon the outstanding amounts payable under the Put Note being reduced to less than $2,500,000, then the Investor shall cease to have the rights referenced in Section 4(k). In addition, in the event the Second / Third Closing is not consummated by the 90th day after the Increase becomes effective (provided that such failure is not a result of a breach by the Company of this Agreement), the Company will thereupon have the right to repurchase all or any portion of the First Closing Shares at $0.08 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement) within 15 months following the effective date of the Increase.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, a Hong Kong corporation, or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Paragraph 2 hereof, 10,066,809 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal to $0.07 (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Warrant Shares,” as used herein, refers to the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. The Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 hereof. 

 

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and conditions: 

  

1.            Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. 

 

This Warrant may also be exercised 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 average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such election;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement; and 

 

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

 

2.            Period of Exercise; Vesting. Subject to the vesting set forth immediately below, This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time on or after the date on which this Warrant is issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Warrant Date (the “Exercise Period”). On the First Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), 2,609,913 shares of Common Stock shall vest and shall be exercisable at anytime. On the Second Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), 4,971,264 shares of Common Stock shall vest and shall be exercisable at anytime (the “Second Closing Warrant Shares”). On the Third Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), 2,485,632 shares of Common Stock shall vest and shall be exercisable at anytime (the “Third Closing Warrant Shares”). In the event that the Second/Third Closing is not consummated by the 90th day after the Increase (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) becomes effective, then this Warrant solely with respect to the Second Closing Warrant Shares and the Third Closing Warrants Shares shall automatically terminate and thereafter be null and void. 

 


 

 




 


 

3.            Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)     Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

(b)     Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)     Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all or substantially all the Company’s assets.

 

4.            Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Paragraph 4.

 

In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.

 

(a)     Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

(b)     Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of clause (a) of this Paragraph 4, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.    

 

(c)     Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Paragraph 4 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Paragraph 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.

(d)     Price Protection. Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock by the Company at a per share price less than the Exercise Price as then in effect, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal such price per share.

Section 3. Conversion.

 

(a)  (i) Conversion at Option of Holder.

 

(1) This Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, after the Original Issue Date (as defined in Section 4) (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(a)(ii) hereof). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion hereunder equals the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding amount of this Note to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)). The Obligor shall deliver Common Stock certificates to the Holder prior to the Third (3rd) Trading Day after a Conversion Date.

 

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on any Conversion Date: (1) the number of shares of Common Stock at the time authorized, unissued and unreserved for all purposes, or held as treasury stock, is insufficient to pay principal and interest hereunder in shares of Common Stock; (2) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted for trading on the OTC or on a Primary Market; or (3) the Obligor has failed to timely satisfy its conversion, then, at the option of the Holder, the Obligor, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(1), shall deliver, within three (3) Trading Days of each applicable Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to the product of the outstanding principal amount to be converted plus any interest due therein.

 

Further, if the Obligor shall not have delivered any cash due in respect of conversion of this Note or as payment of interest thereon by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder may, by notice to the Obligor, require the Obligor to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c), except that for such purpose the Conversion Price applicable thereto shall be the lesser of the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date and the Conversion Price on the date of such Holder demand. Any such shares will be subject to the provisions of this Section.

  

(3) The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Obligor a completed notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”). The date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered is the “Conversion Date.” Unless the Holder is converting the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note, the Holder is not required to physically surrender this Note to the Obligor in order to effect conversions. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Obligor shall maintain records showing the principal amount converted and the date of such conversions. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.

 


 

4




 


 

 (ii) Certain Conversion Restrictions.

 

(A) The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 4(a)(i) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver. For purposes this Note, the term “affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(b) (i) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Obligor's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. 

  

(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Obligor fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 3(a) 1) by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Conversion Date, and if after such fifth (5th) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Obligor shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder, if any) the amount by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder anticipated receiving from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the market price of the Common Stock at the time of the sale giving rise to such purchase obligation and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue a Note in the principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Obligor timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3(a) (1). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Notes with respect to which the market price of the Underlying Shares on the date of conversion was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Obligor shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Obligor written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(c) (i) The initial conversion price of this Note shall be a price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.08, subject to adjustment as set forth herein (the “Conversion Price”). 

 

(ii) If the Obligor, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Obligor, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(iii) If the Obligor at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall issue shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt that are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (but excluding the issuance of any Excluded Securities) (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Conversion Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent 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 is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Obligor shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than one (1) Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this Section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. Excluded Securities" means any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable: (i) in connection with any stock option plan, equity compensation plan, or the like approved by the Board of Directors of the Obligor; (ii) upon conversion or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents which are outstanding immediately preceding the Original Issue Date; (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Obligor, and (iv) securities issued in the form of options to commercial lenders as a part of a credit or loan transaction.

(iv) If the Obligor, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price at which this Note shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Closing Bid Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

(v) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Note into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of the Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holder of this Note shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Obligor into which the then outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing hereunder in respect of this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled, or (B) require the Obligor to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all interest and other amounts due and payable thereon.

(vii) All calculations of the Conversion Price as a result of adjustments under this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.001.

(a)     The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the filings contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.

 

(b)     The Company represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where its respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto;

 

(c)     The Company shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party (i) prompt written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest to create in favor of the Secured Party valid, perfected and continuing first priority liens in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens. 

 

(d)     This Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations and, upon making the filings described in the immediately following sentence, a perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens. Except for the filing of financing statements on Form-1 under the UCC with the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, and any authorization, approval, filing, or notice which has been obtained or made and is in full force and effect, no authorization or approval of or filing with or notice to any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant by the Company of, or the effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company or (ii) for the perfection of or exercise by the Secured Party of its rights and remedies hereunder.

No consent (including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required for the Company to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder other than any consent which has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. The Company will also, upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party under the Note. 

 

9.     Responsibility for Collateral. The Company assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, other than Collateral in the possession of Secured Party, and the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Note shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. 

 

10.     Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party and all Obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Note or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c)  any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guaranty, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its reasonable discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to the Company, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interest granted hereby, other than payment in full of the Obligations. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. The Company expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. The Company waives all right to require the Secured Party to proceed against any other person or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. 

 


 

 




 


 

11.     Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Note have been made in full. Upon such termination, the Secured Party, at the request and at the expense of the Company, will join in executing any releases with respect to the Security Interest granted hereunder, and any termination statement with respect to any financing statement executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement. 

 

12.     Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.

 

(b)     On a continuing basis, the Company will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, in the proper filing and recording places in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a security interest in all the Collateral.

 


 

 




 


 

(c)     The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Company’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of the Company where permitted by law.

(a)     No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured Party, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(d)     In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless such provision is narrowed by judicial construction, this Agreement shall, as to such jurisdiction, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portion of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

(e)     No waiver of any breach or default or any right under this Agreement shall be considered valid unless in writing and signed by the party giving such waiver, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or right, whether of the same or similar nature or otherwise.

 

(f)     This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns.

 

(g)     Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

 

(h)     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent the validity, perfection or enforcement of a security interest hereunder in respect of any particular Collateral which are governed by a jurisdiction other than the State of California in which case such law shall govern. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any California State or United States Federal court sitting in Orange County, California over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such California State or Federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The parties hereto further waive any objection to venue in the State of California and any objection to an action or proceeding in the State of California on the basis of forum non conveniens.

 


 

 




 


 

(i)     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Re:
	
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc.



 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2016, between you and the Company (the “Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated therein. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement. This opinion letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 6(a)(vii) of the Agreement. 

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following documents: (i) the Agreement, the Put Note that is in the form attached as an exhibit to the Agreement and the Put Security Agreement that is in the form attached as an exhibit to the Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”), (ii) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), (iii) the Company’s Bylaws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), (iv) a certificate of good standing with respect to the Company, issued by the Delaware Secretary of State on March 7, 2016 (the “Certificate of Status”), which we assume remains accurate through the date of this letter, (v) a certificate of good standing with respect to Liquidmetal Golf, a California corporation (the “California Sub”), issued by the California Secretary of State on March 7, 2016 (the “California Sub Certificate of Status”), which we assume remains accurate through the date of this letter, (vi) a certificate of good standing with respect to Crucible Intellectual Property, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Delaware Sub”, and with the California Sub, each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), issued by the Delaware Secretary of State on March 7, 2016 (the “Delaware Sub Certificate of Status”, and with the California Sub Certificate of Status, the “Subsidiary Certificates of Status”), which we assume remains accurate through the date of this letter, and (vii) the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted at a meeting held on March 4, 2016, as supplemented by a unanimous written consent action of the Board of Directors of the Company, dated effective as of March 8, 2016, authorizing and approving the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements.

 

We have also considered such matters of law and of fact, including the examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records and documents of the Company, certificates of officers, directors and representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. We also have relied upon the representations in the Transaction Agreements. We have made no attempt to independently verify the factual statements and representations contained in certificates or in the Transaction Agreements. We specifically advise you that we have made no docket or other search of the records of any court, administrative tribunal or other similar person or body to determine the existence of pending litigation, nor have we performed or had performed any independent search of any other public records, searched the books or records of the Company or any other person, searched any internal files, court files, public records or other information or, except as expressly set forth in this opinion letter, collected, examined or reviewed any communications, instruments, agreements, documents, financial statements, tax filings, minutes, records or liens.

In rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 as to the incorporation and good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware, we have relied exclusively on the Certificate of Status, which we assume remains accurate as of the date of this letter. 

 

In rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 as to the incorporation and good standing of the California Sub under the laws of the State of California and as to the organization and good standing of the Delaware Sub under the laws of the State of Delaware, we have relied exclusively on the Subsidiary Certificates of Status, which we assume remain accurate as of the date of this letter. 

 

In connection with the opinions expressed in paragraphs 8 and 9 below, we have assumed that the offer and sale of the Securities is not integrated with any past or future securities offering of the Company. Our opinions in paragraphs 8 and 9 also assume that neither the Company nor any other party on behalf of the Company engaged in any general solicitation or general advertising, as described in Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities. We have further assumed that none of the actions described in subparagraphs (i) through (viii) of Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act has been taken as of the date hereof with respect to the Company or any of the covered persons with relationships to the Company described in the initial clause of Rule 506(d)(1). 

 

The opinions set forth in this letter are limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction, including state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, rules or regulations. In addition, we express no opinion relating to local laws, regulations or ordinances (including statutes, administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of county, municipal and political subdivisions), or any choice-of-law provisions in the Transaction Agreements.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth in this opinion letter, we have made the following assumptions, without independent verification, in addition to the other assumptions set forth in this letter:

 

a.     the legal capacity of each natural person and the legal existence of all parties other than the Company to the transactions referred to in the Transaction Agreements;

 

b.     the power and authority of each person other than the Company or person(s) acting on behalf of the Company to execute, deliver and perform each document executed and delivered and to do each other act done or to be done by such person;

c.     the authorization, execution, and delivery by each person other than the Company of each document executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered by such person;

 

 

d.     the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability as to each person other than the Company or person(s) acting on behalf of the Company of each document executed and delivered or to be executed or delivered and of each other act done or to be done by such person;

 

 

e.     the transactions referred to in the Transaction Agreements have been consummated;

 

 

f.     the genuineness of all signatures and the completeness of each document submitted to us;

i.     that there have been no undisclosed modifications of any documents reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of the opinion and no undisclosed prior waiver of any right or remedy contained in any of the documents;

 

 

j.     the truthfulness of each statement as to all factual matters contained in any document reviewed by us in connection with this opinion;

 

 

k.     the accuracy on the date of the opinion as well as on the date stated in all governmental certifications of each statement as to each factual matter contained in such governmental certifications; 

 

 

l.     that the addressees have acted in good faith, without notice of adverse claims, and have complied with all laws applicable to them that affect the transactions referred to in the Transaction Agreements;

 

 

m.     that no action, discretionary or otherwise, will be taken by or on behalf of the Company in the future that might result in a violation of law; 

 

 

n.      that with respect to the Transaction Agreements and to the transactions referred to therein, there has been no mutual mistake of material fact and there exists no fraud or duress; and

 

 

o.     the constitutionality and validity of all relevant laws, regulations and agency actions.

 

In addition, we have assumed, with your permission and without any independent investigation, inquiry or verification, that (i) the representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreements are true, accurate and complete in all respects at the date of this opinion letter; (ii) the Company’s Board of Directors has complied with all fiduciary duties applicable to their consideration and approval of the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated by them; and (iii) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements are not transactions, nor are they part of a chain of transactions, that are part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

For purposes of this opinion, “to our knowledge” or “known to us” means the actual knowledge of those attorneys currently in our firm who have given substantive attention to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, without independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any facts or circumstances.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:

 

1.     The Company has been duly incorporated and is a corporation validly existing in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, and has all corporate power and authority necessary to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the SEC Documents. The California Subsidiary has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and the Delaware Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

 

2.     Based solely on our review of the Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. 

 

3.     The form of certificates used to evidence the Common Stock are in proper form and comply with all applicable requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 

 

4.     The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Transaction Agreements.

 

5.     The Company has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize its execution and delivery of, and its performance under, the Transaction Agreements (including the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Agreements). 

 

6.     The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, the issuance and sale of the Securities: (a) will not result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company; and (b) will not violate the DGCL or any provision of United States federal law that, in our experience, is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific statute, law, rule, or regulation other than the DGCL).

 

7.     The Securities, when issued pursuant to and in accordance with the Agreement, will, upon such issuance and delivery, be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

 

8.      Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Investor set forth in the Agreement, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Company of any Transaction Agreement, except (i) filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, (ii) filings on Form 8-K pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (iii) any action necessary in order to qualify the Securities under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and (iv) the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock to 1,100,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

9.     Based in part upon the representations made by the Investor and the Company in the Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities to the Investor on the Closing Date will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

 

10.     The Company is not, and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall not be, an Investment Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

In addition to the foregoing opinions, based upon the foregoing and other than as set forth in the Agreement, the Schedules attached thereto or in the SEC Documents, we supplementally confirm the following:

 

I.      Litigation Confirmation. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company that questions the validity of the Transaction Agreements or the right of the Company to enter into the Transaction Agreements. Please note that we have not conducted a docket search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that may be pending against the Company or any of its officers or directors, nor have we undertaken any further inquiry whatsoever other than to request the Opinion Certificate from the Company.

 

II.     Preemptive Rights Confirmation. To our knowledge, there are no presently outstanding preemptive rights or rights to purchase from the Company any of the Securities other than (i) such rights that have been waived, and (ii) the rights to purchase such Securities pursuant to the Agreement.

 

III.     Convertible Securities Confirmation. To our knowledge, except as otherwise set forth in the Schedules attached to the Agreement or in the SEC Documents, there are no presently outstanding warrants, options, agreements, convertible securities, or other commitments pursuant to which the Company is, or may become, obligated to issue any shares of its capital stock or other securities of the Company other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Agreement.

 

The opinions set forth in this letter above are further subject to and modified by the following exceptions:

 

a.     Each of our opinions represents our opinion as to how the issue addressed in such opinion would reasonably likely be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court of the jurisdiction upon whose law our opinion on that issue is based. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case, and this letter is not intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise in the future. 

 

b.     Any opinion expressed herein concerning a document is limited to the specific document referenced. No inference should be made that our opinion addresses other documents amended, modified, supplemented or referenced by, or attached to, the document which is the subject of our opinion. We have made no investigation of the accuracy or completeness of any schedule attached to any Transaction Agreements and express no opinion with respect thereto.

Re:
	
Intellectual Property Opinion



 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are writing in our capacity as outside U.S. intellectual property counsel to Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Liquidmetal Golf, Crucible Intellectual Properties LLC Liquidmetal Korea Co., Ltd., Liquidmetal Technologies Korea, and Amorphous Technologies International (Asia) PTE LTD (collectively the “Company”). At its request we have been asked to provide an opinion on certain aspects of the Company’s intellectual property. We understand this request is made in connection with a certain securities purchase transaction; however, we have been provided with no further information and have not seen any underlying agreements or other documentation. Therefore, this opinion is very limited in scope as stated herein and based solely on a report of the results of the investigations specifically described. This opinion cannot and should not be deemed an endorsement or comment on any aspect of the Company or any potential agreement or investments. This letter speaks only as of the date hereof.  We have no responsibility or obligation to update this opinion letter or to take into account changes in law or facts or any other development of which we may later become aware. We further disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

 

For purposes of this opinion, “Intellectual Property Rights” means only those assets as specifically listed and set forth on enclosed Schedule A. 

 

We performed an online keyword search of all Federal courts in the U.S. for any litigation or proceedings with the Company’s name that involve patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, Internet domain names, technology, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary rights). No report of any such legal proceedings was found. A similar search of proceedings in state and inferior courts is unavailable, and thus no report is provided or opinion expressed as to whether there might be intellectual property litigation pending in any of those courts. We have also had performed a search of the records of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office trademark, patent maintenance fee and assignment databases to determine the current ownership and status of the Intellectual Property Rights listed on Schedule A. We confirm to the best of our knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights listed in Schedule A is complete as per the worldwide search for patents and trademarks undertaken by a searcher at the Law Firm Of Naren Thappeta in Bangalore, India. Also, we confirm to the best of our knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights listed in Schedule A have not lapsed for failure to pay the maintenance fees and the Intellectual Property Rights listed in Schedule A are assigned and/or licensed to Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. or its subsidiaries.

In addition to the foregoing, we inform you that we are not representing the Company in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in any U.S. court or agency in which the pleadings request as relief that any of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights be declared invalid, and based upon a reasonable investigation as previously described and to the best of our actual knowledge, (i) the Company has not been accused of and we have no actual knowledge that it may be presently infringing any valid claim of any issued U.S. patent by its present methods for commercializing the Company’s products, (ii) to the best of our actual knowledge there are no known infringements by others of any of the Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company, and (iii) to the best of our actual knowledge, we are unaware of any pending legal or governmental proceedings in the United States relating to the Intellectual Property Rights (other than normal processing of any patent or trademark applications before applicable authorities).

 

We have no actual knowledge of any facts that would preclude the Company from having valid license rights or clear title to the Intellectual Property Rights. We also have no knowledge that the Company lacks or will be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary to conduct its business.

 

Whenever a statement herein is qualified by “known to us,” “to our knowledge,” “we have no actual knowledge” or a similar phrase, such phrase indicates that in the course of our representation of the Company no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of the attorneys in this firm who are identified on this firm’s records on the date of this opinion as having rendered legal services to the Company as its U.S. intellectual property counsel.  We have not made any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of such statement, except as expressly described herein.  No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company as to other matters in which such attorneys are not involved. In rendering our opinion, we have without independent verification, relied, with respect to factual matters, statements and conclusions, on certificates, notifications and statements of governmental officials as reflected in the public records indicated and upon statements, whether written or oral, by individuals identified or known to us as duly authorized and knowledgeable officers and representatives of the Company. We further note that, as outside U.S. intellectual property counsel to the Company, we do not represent it generally and there may be facts relating to the Company and its intellectual property of which we have no knowledge.

Our opinion is further subject to and limited by the effect of (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium and other similar laws affecting and relating to the rights of creditors generally; (b) general equitable principles; (c) requirements of reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and materiality; and (d) Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code regarding restrictions on assignment or transfer of rights or the creation, attachment, perfection or enforcement of security interests.

 

We express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America, and in each case, only such law that a lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Intellectual Property Rights, and excluding any law, statutes and ordinances, administrative decisions, or rules and regulations of any other country, or state, or of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions.

 

This letter is delivered by us as U.S. intellectual property counsel for the Company solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction referred to herein and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person or entity without our prior written consent, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility or obligation to consider the applicability or correctness of this letter to any person or entity other than its named addressee.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
