1.           PURCHASE OPTION.




THIS CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of $100.00 duly paid by or on behalf of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. to the Company, Kevin Mangan (the “Holder”), as registered owner of this Purchase Option, is entitled, at any time or from time to time upon the later of the consummation of a Business Combination and May 9, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”), and at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City local time, May 9, 2016 or, if such date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then the next succeeding day which is not such day (the “Expiration Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive, in whole or in part, up to 8,460 units (the “Units”) of the Company, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one warrant (each, a “Warrant”) expiring on the earlier of (i) five years from the Company’s completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the trust account if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the required time periods.  May 9, 2011 was the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the registration statement on Form S-1 of the Company (Registration No. 333-171359) (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to which units (each comprised of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock) (the “Public Units”) are offered for sale to the public (the “Offering”). Each Warrant is the same as the warrants included in the Public Units being registered for sale to the public by way of the Registration Statement (the “Public Warrants”). Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company agrees not to take any action that would terminate the Purchase Option. This Purchase Option is initially exercisable at $6.60 per Unit so purchased; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6 hereof, the rights granted by this Purchase Option, including the exercise price per Unit and the number of Units (and shares of Common Stock and Warrants) to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as therein specified. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean the initial exercise price of $6.60, subject to adjustment, or the adjusted exercise price, depending on the context.




2.           EXERCISE.




2.1.            EXERCISE FORM.  In order to exercise this Purchase Option, the exercise form attached hereto must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Option and payment of the Exercise Price for the Units being purchased payable in cash or by certified check or official bank check.  If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City local time, on the Expiration Date this Purchase Option shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.




2.2.           LEGEND.  Each certificate for the securities issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Option shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”):




- 2 -


“The securities represented hereby may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (I) in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or (II) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, in each case in accordance with all applicable securities laws, and, in the case of a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, only if Universal Business Payment Solutions Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company regarding the availability of such exemption under the Act and such other applicable laws. The registered holder of the securities represented herein agrees that it will not sell, transfer or assign the securities except as herein provided and the registered holder of the securities agrees that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the securities for a period of one year following the effective date (defined below) to anyone other than (i) EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) or any other underwriter or selected dealer in connection with the offering or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of EBC or any such underwriter or selected dealer of these.”




2.3.         CASHLESS EXERCISE.




2.3.1.           DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT. In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Purchase Option is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive Common Stock and Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Purchase Option into Units (the “Cashless Exercise Right”) as follows: upon exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number of Units (or that number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising that number of Units) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Value (as defined below) of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted by (y) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) per Unit. The “Value” of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted from (b) (i) the Fair Market Value of a Unit multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of the Purchase Option being converted. As used herein, the term “Fair Market Value” per Unit at any date means: (A) in the event that neither the Public Units nor Public Warrants are still trading, the remainder derived from subtracting (x) (i) the exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one Unit from (y) (i) the Fair Market Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying one Unit, which shall include the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants included in such Unit; (B) in the event that the Public Units, Common Stock and Public Warrants are still trading, (i) if the Public Units are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), the average reported last sale price of the Public Units in the principal trading market for the Public Units as reported by the exchange or FINRA, as the case may be, for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise; or (ii) if the Public Units are not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange), but are traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the average reported last sale price for Public Units for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (C) in the event that the Public Units are not still trading but the Common Stock and Public Warrants underlying the Public Units are still trading, the Fair Market Price of the Common Stock plus the product of (x) the Fair Market Price of the Public Warrants and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants included in one Unit. The “Fair Market Price” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of Common Stock on a national securities exchange or quoted on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board (or successor exchange) or as reported by the Pink Sheets LLC for the residual over-the-counter market for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise and (ii)  if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith. In the event the Public Warrants have expired and are no longer exercisable, no Value shall be attributed to the Warrants underlying this Purchase Option.




2.3.2.           MECHANICS OF CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Cashless Exercise Right may be exercised by the Holder on any business day on or after the Commencement Date and not later than the Expiration Date by delivering the Purchase Option with the duly executed exercise form attached hereto with the cashless exercise section completed to the Company, exercising the Cashless Exercise Right and specifying the total number of Units the Holder will purchase pursuant to such Cashless Exercise Right.

2.4.         NO OBLIGATION TO NET-CASH SETTLE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Purchase Option, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay the registered Holder of the Purchase Option any cash or otherwise “net-cash settle” the exercise of the Purchase Option or the Warrants underlying the Purchase Option. The holder of the Purchase Option and the Warrants underlying the Purchase Option will not be entitled to exercise the Purchase Option or the Warrants underlying such Purchase Option unless a registration statement is effective, or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act is available at such time and, if the holder is not able to exercise the Purchase Option or underlying Warrants, the Purchase Option and/or the underlying Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.




3.           TRANSFER.




3.1.         GENERAL RESTRICTIONS.  The registered Holder of this Purchase Option, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Option, or cause it to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities, for a period of one year following the Effective Date to anyone other than (i) an underwriter or a selected dealer in connection with the Offering, or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of EBC or of any such underwriter or selected dealer, in either case in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(2). On and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with, or exemptions from, applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Purchase Option and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall within five business days transfer this Purchase Option on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Option or Purchase Options of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Units purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.




3.2.         RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE ACT.  This Purchase Option and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Purchase Option shall not be transferred unless and until (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (the Company hereby agreeing that the opinion of Dechert LLP or Greenberg Traurig, LLP shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the availability of an exemption), or (ii) a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement relating to such securities has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), a current prospectus relating to such securities is available for delivery and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

4.2.         LOST CERTIFICATE.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Option of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Option executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

5.           REGISTRATION RIGHTS.




5.1.         DEMAND REGISTRATION.




5.1.1.           GRANT OF RIGHT.  The Company, upon written demand (the “Initial Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities (as defined herein) (the “Majority Holders”), agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to register (the “Demand Registration”) under the Act on one occasion (and not more than one occasion), all or any portion of the Registrable Securities requested by the Majority Holders in the Initial Demand Notice. On such occasion, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities within sixty days after receipt of the Initial Demand Notice and use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of five years beginning on the Effective Date. The Initial Demand Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all holders of the Purchase Options and/or Registrable Securities of the demand within ten days from the date of the receipt of any such Initial Demand Notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 5.1.4.




5.1.2.           EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION.  A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such registration statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interrupted by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the registration statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering.




5.1.3.           UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING.  If the Majority Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of the Initial Demand Notice, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Majority Holders.




5.1.4.           REDUCTION OF OFFERING.  If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual Piggy-Back Registration (as defined below) rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other registrable securities pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement between the Company and the initial investors in the Company, dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and such registrable securities pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Investor Securities”) as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

5.1.5.           WITHDRAWAL.  If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then the Company does not have to continue its obligations under Section 5.1 with respect to such proposed offering.




5.1.6.           TERMS.  The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities, including the reasonable expenses of one legal counsel selected by the Majority Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities, but the  holders participating in the registration shall pay any and all underwriting commissions. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to qualify to do business in such state, or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand rights granted under Section 5.1.1 to remain effective until nine months from the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment.




5.2.         PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION.




5.2.1.           PIGGY-BACK RIGHTS.  If at any time during the five (5) year period commencing on the Effective Date the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.1), other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (v) solely in connection with a merger, consolidation or non-capital raising bona fide business transaction, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution and the name of proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 5.3.6) in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). Subject to Section 5.2.2, the Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 5.3.6, the Company’s obligation pursuant to Section 5.1 to obtain the registration of the Warrants will not cease until the Warrants are exercised in full or cease to be outstanding.




5.3.5.            SUPPLEMENTAL PROSPECTUS.  Each Holder agrees, that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, and, if so desired by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of such destruction) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.




5.3.6.            REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.  As used in this Section 5, the term “Registrable Securities” means the Purchase Options and the securities issuable upon the exercise of the Purchase Options, including the Units, the shares of Common Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; provided, that, any such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when: (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (b) such securities shall have been transferred pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act (or any similar rule or regulation then in force), new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and they may be publicly resold without volume or method of sale restrictions without registration under the Act; (c) such securities may be sold under Rule 144 by the Holder without volume limitation restrictions; or (d) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; provided, however, that in the case of the Warrants, the Warrants will not cease to be Registrable Securities until exercised or no longer outstanding.  A “majority” of the Registrable Securities shall be calculated by assuming that any outstanding Purchase Options are exercised for Units in accordance with the terms of the such Purchase Options and that any Warrants are exercised for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Warrants.

6.           ADJUSTMENTS.




6.1.         ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SECURITIES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Units underlying the Purchase Option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:




6.1.1.           STOCK DIVIDENDS - SPLIT-UPS.  If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto, underlying the Warrants underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.  For example, if the Company declares a two-for-one Common Stock dividend and at the time of such dividend this Purchase Option is for the purchase of one Unit at $6.60 per whole Unit (each Warrant underlying the Units is exercisable for $6.90 per share), upon effectiveness of the dividend, this Purchase Option will be adjusted to allow for the purchase of one Unit at $6.60 per Unit, each Unit entitling the holder to receive two shares of Common Stock and two Warrants (each Warrant exercisable for $3.45 per share).




6.1.2.           AGGREGATION OF SHARES.  If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In such case, the number of shares of Common Stock, and the exercise price applicable thereto, underlying the Warrants underlying each of the Units purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.




6.1.3.           REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES UPON REORGANIZATION, ETC.  In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Option shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Option) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Option and the underlying Warrants immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3.  The provisions of this Section 6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.




6.1.4.           CHANGES IN FORM OF PURCHASE OPTION.  This form of Purchase Option need not be changed because of any change pursuant to this Section 6, and Purchase Options issued after such change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Units as are stated in the Purchase Options initially issued pursuant to this Agreement.  The acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Options reflecting a required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation thereof.




6.2.         ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.  The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock or Warrants upon the exercise of the Purchase Option, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of Warrants, shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights.




- 10 -


6.3.         Substitute Purchase Option . In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Option providing that the holder of each Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Option) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Option, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which such Purchase Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.




7.           RESERVATION AND LISTING.




The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Purchase Options or the Warrants underlying the Purchase Option, such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof.  The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Options and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.  The Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Warrants underlying the Purchase Options and payment of the respective Warrant exercise price therefor, all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any stockholder.  As long as the Purchase Options shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all (i) Units issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Options, (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Options, (iii) Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Options and (iv) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in the Units issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Option to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges (or, if applicable on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Units, the Common Stock or the Public Warrants issued to the public in connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted.




8.           CERTAIN NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.




8.1.         HOLDER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE NOTICE.  Nothing herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or consent as a stockholder for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.  If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Options and their exercise, any of the events described in Section 8.2 shall occur, then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, conversion or exchange of securities or subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of the closing of the transfer books, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver to each Holder a copy of each notice given to the other stockholders of the Company at the same time and in the same manner that such notice is given to the stockholders.

8.2.         EVENTS REQUIRING NOTICE.  The Company shall be required to give the notice described in this Section 8 upon one or more of the following events:  (i) if the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company, or (ii) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor, or (iii) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business shall be proposed.




8.3.         NOTICE OF CHANGE IN EXERCISE PRICE.  The Company shall, promptly after an event requiring a change in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6 hereof, send notice to the Holders of such event and change (a “Price Notice”).
