(a)     Subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof, each Warrant and the rights thereunder may be transferred by the Holder thereof, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company such Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Assignment Form in the form of Annex 2. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Assignment Form the Company shall issue, register and deliver to the new Holder, subject to Section 2.3(c) hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like kind and tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same Current Holder’s Equity Interest which could be purchased pursuant to the Warrant being transferred.

(b)     Each Warrant issued in accordance with this Section 2.3 shall bear the restrictive legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, unless the Holder or transferee thereof supplies to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the restrictions described in such legend are no longer applicable to such Warrant.

 

(c)     The transfer of Warrants and any Equity Interest purchased thereunder shall be permitted, so long as such transfer is pursuant to a transaction that complies with, or is exempt from, the provisions of the Securities Act, and the Company may require an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it to such effect prior to effecting any transfer of Warrants or any Equity Interest purchased thereunder.

 

ARTICLE III

EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXCHANGE FOR EQUITY INTEREST

 

SECTION 3.1 Exercise of Warrants. This Warrant shall not be exercisable unless and until Maker fails to pay Holder the entire unamortized principal amount of the Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or such earlier date as is required pursuant to an Acceleration Notice (as defined in the Note) issued by Holder in accordance with the terms thereof. On any Business Day after this Note first becomes exercisable, but before the Expiration Date, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company this Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form in the form of Annex 1 and a check in an aggregate amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price.

 

SECTION 3.2 Issuance of Equity Interest.

 

(a)     The Company represents and warrants that the authorized Equity Interest of the Company consists solely of (i) 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which only 250,805,992 common shares have been issued and remain outstanding as of the date hereof and (ii) 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which preferred shares have been issued as of the date hereof. The shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The delivery to the Holder of certificates representing the Equity Interest that the Holder purchases pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall grant to the Holder good and valid title to the Equity Interest represented by such certificate, free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, security interests, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature or any option, warrant or trust having the practical effect of any of the foregoing.

 

(b)     Immediately upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 3.1, the Company (the "Delivery Date") shall issue the Equity Interest that the Holder has purchased pursuant to such exercise, deliver to the Holder the certificates representing such Equity Interest and reflect the issuance of such Equity Interest, which Equity Interest shall be duly authorized, validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, in the Company’s shareholder records (maintained by the Company or its duly appointed transfer agent), whereupon the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes, effective as of the Delivery Date, to be a holder of record and beneficial owner of the Equity Interest that it has purchased pursuant to such exercise.

(c)     If a Holder shall exercise this Warrant for less than all of the Equity Interest which could be purchased or received hereunder, the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of the Delivery Date, a new Warrant of like kind and tenor to this Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Equity Interest represented by the Warrant. This Warrant shall be cancelled upon surrender thereof pursuant to Section 3.1.

 

(d)     The Company shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to the initial issuance of any Equity Interest upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant or any successor Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of a successor to this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised or exchanged.

 

(e)     Except as set forth in any document that is un-redacted and publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) which are not fully reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP, except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice since the date thereof.

 

SECTION 3.3 Adjustment of Holder’s Equity Interest and/or Exercise Price. The Equity Interest issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (such Equity Interest is referred to herein as the "Holder's Equity Interest") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.3.

 

SECTION 3.3.1      Issuance of Additional Equity Interest; Capital Reorganization or Capital Reclassifications. If, at any time after the date hereof, the Equity Interests of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation (including, without limitation, any subdivision or combination of Equity Interest), then in each case the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that this Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of equity securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such event and any such provision shall include adjustments in respect of such securities or other property that shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect to such Warrant.

 

SECTION 3.3.2     Consolidations and Mergers; Dissolution.

 

(a)     If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or property to, another Person, then the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, membership or other equity interests, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such event. The Company shall not consolidate or merge unless, prior to consummation, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes the obligations of this paragraph by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s address set forth in Section 5.1. A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

(b)     In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger covered by subsection (a) above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Holder. Such notice shall contain: (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which the Holder will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction; (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions to be made to the Holder as a result of the transaction and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.

 

SECTION 3.3.3     Notice; Calculations; Etc. Whenever the Equity Interest issuable hereunder shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 3.3, the Company shall provide to the Holder a statement, signed by an Executive Officer, describing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a calculation of the Equity Interest applicable to each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth of a unit, as the case may be.
