4.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER.

 

Purchaser hereby represents warrants and covenants with the Company as follows.  For avoidance of doubt, these warranties and representations are made to the Company and its agents and representatives and affiliates and other members of the selling group (if any) and their representatives and affiliates, as third party beneficiaries hereto:

 

 

 

4.1           Legal Power.  Purchaser has the requisite corporate power and is authorized to enter into this Agreement, to purchase the Shares hereunder, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

4.2           Due Execution.  The execution and performance of the terms under this Agreement and Purchaser Signature Page hereto, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser.

 

4.3           Access to Information.  Purchaser understands that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk and long term or permanent illiquidity, including, risk of loss of their entire investment.  Purchaser also understands that the Company has limited capital and is not profitable and will require substantial revenues or financing in order to go forward. Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has received and reviewed copies of the SEC Reports as well as each Schedule annexed hereto, including, specifically, Schedule 3.2 which discloses the Company's current capitalization structure, inclusive of, convertible preferred stock, warrants and options currently issued and outstanding, some of which may be at lower prices than the exercise price of Warrants. Purchaser represents that such Purchaser (a) had an adequate opportunity to conduct due diligence and to obtain such information about the Company as Purchaser deems necessary, (b) conducted due diligence to the extent deemed necessary by Purchaser, (c) received adequate information about the Company and (d) has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the officers of the Company regarding its business prospects and the Shares.

 

4.4           Restricted Securities.

 

4.4.1       Purchaser has been advised that none of the Securities has been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and that the Stock Units are being offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S thereunder, and that the Company's reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S is predicated in part on Purchaser representations as contained herein.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities will be issued as "restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.  None of the Securities may be resold in the absence of either an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not have any right to approve, reject or prevent any transfer or opinion.

 

4.4.2       Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Securities for its own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

 

4.4.3       Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the certificates representing Shares, Warrants and, if issued, the Warrant Shares, will bear substantially the following legend:

"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSELTO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT."

 

 

4.4.4       Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available (which exemption may or may not require an opinion, depending on the exemption utilized and parties to said transaction).  Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that such Rule is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Securities.  Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined under Rule 501 under the Securities Act.  Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company was once a "shell" company and accordingly, if it becomes delinquent in filing its Securities 1934 Act reports, the Shares and Warrant Shares will become illiquid until such time as the Company becomes current in its Exchange Act reports or otherwise complies with the requirements of Rule 144.

 

4.5           Purchaser Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Securities and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a material adverse change in such Purchaser's financial condition. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.

 

4.6           Purchases by Groups.  Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it is not acquiring the Shares or any of the Securities as part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(5) of the 1934 Act or otherwise purchasing with intent to control voting over the Company.

 

4.7            Independent Investigation.  Purchaser in making his decision to purchase the Shares herein, has relied solely upon an independent investigation made by him and his legal, tax and/or financial advisors and, is not relying upon any oral representations of the Company.

 

4.8           No Advertising.  Purchaser has not received any general solicitation or advertising regarding the offer of the Shares or any of the Securities.

 

4.9          Reliance on Purchaser Representations. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and Warrants being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire Shares.

 

5.             ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF COMPANY.

 

5.1           Reservation of Shares.  The Company hereby covenants to maintain at all times while the Warrants are outstanding, reserved and authorized for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of Warrant Shares as equals 150% of the number of shares that such issued and outstanding Warrants are exercisable for at any time and from time to time. The Company hereby further agrees to take all further acts, including, without limitation, providing written notification of the foregoing limitation to its transfer agent with instructions not to issue shares that would result in violation by the Company of the foregoing provision, as well as amending its charter or amending any filing with any exchange or quotation service in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 

 

5.2           Payment for Legal Opinions and Removal of Legends.  The Company shall cover all costs associated with removal of any securities act restrictive legends, including, without limitation, the cost of replacement certificates and opinion or letter of Company counsel to the transfer agent, as well as delivery costs, for all Shares and Warrant Shares.

 

5.3           Use of Proceeds. The use of proceeds of the offering shall be substantially as set forth on Schedule 5.3 annexed hereto.  The Company shall use its proceeds from this offering only for such purposes.

Except as may be otherwise set forth herein, Purchaser may at any time request one registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of all or part of its Shares (including any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement ("Long-Form Registrations") or, if available, on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement ("Short-Form Registrations").  Each request for a Demand Registration (as defined herein) shall specify the approximate number of Shares requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.

Company may postpone for up to 30 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if Company's Board of Directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction.  For each Demand Registration, the Company will register the maximum number of shares permitted by Rule 415 of the Securities Act up to the total number of Shares and Warrant Shares owned by the Purchaser.

 

5.4.2       Company May Include Other Shares in Demand Registration Statement.

If the Shares and Warrant requested to be registered by Purchaser in the Demand Registration Statement do not meet the maximum number of shares which would be allowable under SEC rules for such a registration, if it does not impinge the rights of Purchaser, the Company will have the right to include shares of other parties in any Demand Registration to the maximum allowable SEC limit.

 

5.5           Piggyback Registration Rights.  If, at any time the Company shall determine to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8, each as promulgated under the Securities Act, or their then equivalent relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans) or as part of an underwritten offering of the Company's Shares, then the Company shall send to the Purchaser a written notice of such determination at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of any such registration statement and shall include in such registration statement all Shares requested by Purchaser, up to a limit of 30% of the overall number of shares to be included in 

 

 

 

the registration statement, or such other amount as may be negotiated between the Parties, to be included in the registration within ten (10) days after the Company sends such notice to the Purchaser (the "Piggyback Shares") for resale and offer on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415; provided, that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with or terminate such registration, the Company will be relieved of its obligation to register any Shares in connection with such registration, (ii) in case of a determination by the Company to delay registration of its securities, the Company will be permitted to delay the registration of Shares for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities, (iii) Purchaser is subject to confidentiality obligations and shall not use or disclose any information gained in this process or any other material non-public information he, she or it obtains, (iv) Purchaser or its assignees or successors in interest shall comply with all applicable laws relating to insider trading or similar restrictions; (v) if all of the Shares of the Purchaser cannot be so included due to Commission comments or Commission guidance, then the Company may reduce the number of Piggyback Shares included in such registration statement to comply with such Commission comments or Commission guidance; (vi) in the event the Company undertakes filing of a registration statement relating to Company's equity line agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, ("LPC") the Purchaser will be allowed to piggyback into such registration statement after obtaining written consent from LPC; and (vii) in the in the event the Company undertakes filing of a registration statement relating to a demand from VDF FutureCeuticals Inc.

5.5.1       Obligations and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.  In connection with the registration of the Shares, Purchaser shall have the following obligations and hereby makes the following acknowledgements:

 

(a)       It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include the Shares in the registration statement that Purchaser or its successors wishing to participate in the registration statement (i) promptly shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Shares held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Shares and (ii) promptly shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  Prior to the first anticipated filing date of a registration statement, the Company shall notify Purchaser of the information the Company requires from Purchaser (the "Requested Information") if Purchaser elects to have any of its Shares included in the registration statement. If a Purchaser notifies the Company and provides the Company the information required hereby at least three business days before the Company files Amendment No.1 to the registration statement, the Company will include such information within  an amendment to the registration statement that includes the Shares of Purchaser provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file such amendment to the registration statement at any time less than five (5) business days prior to the effective date or if the Company has been informed by the Commission of a "no review" comment on the registration statement as originally filed by the Company.

 

(b)       Purchaser agrees promptly and timely to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement, unless Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Shares from registration statement;

 

(d)       Purchaser acknowledges that it may be deemed to be a statutory underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the Shares being registered for resale by it, and if a Purchaser includes Shares for offer and sale within a registration statement Purchaser hereby consents to the inclusion in such registration statement of a disclosure to such effect.

 

 

 

5.5.2       Expenses of Registration.  All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of a Purchaser's counsel) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 5.5, including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.

 

5.5.3        Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)       Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its respective officers and directors (each such Person being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or an omission or alleged omission from, such registration statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein.

 

(b)       Notice of Claims, etc.  Promptly after receipt by a Person seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5.3 (an "Indemnified Party") of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5.3 is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure.  In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.  Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out of pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim.  If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in 

 

 

circumstances other than as described in the preceding sentence, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party.  Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel).  The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment or contain any admission of wrongdoing.

 

(c)       Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.5.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.5.3(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser or any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.5.3(c).  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(d)       Limitation on Company's Obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.5.3, in no event shall the Company have any liability under this Section 5.5.3 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by the Company from the sale of Shares (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any registration statement under which such Shares are registered under the Securities Act.

 

(e)       Other Liabilities.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.4.3 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.5.3 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company.  The remedies provided in this Section 5.4.3 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.

 

5.5.4        Rule 144.  With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to:

 

(a)       comply with the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of Rule 144; and

 

 

(b)       file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Purchasers, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registerable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

5.5.5        Common Stock Issued Upon Stock Split, etc.  The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any Shares or any other securities issued as a dividend or distribution in respect of the Warrant Shares, or otherwise issued in exchange for the common stock generally (e.g. such as a reorganization, spinoff, merger, etc.).

 

5.5.6        Termination of Registration Rights.  The piggy back registration rights granted in this Section 5.5 shall terminate with respect to a Security three business days following the date that such Security can be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 

5.6           Filing of Reports.  Company shall file on a timely basis, any and all reports or amendments thereto, as it is required to file in order to remain fully current with all of its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act so as to enable sales without resale limitations one (1) year from the date of final Closing, pursuant to Rule 144, as amended. The Company shall pay for all opinions or similar letters to its transfer agent, as well as pay for all transfer agent costs, relating to the removal of the Rule 144 restrictive legend on share certificates representing the Shares. For avoidance of doubt, all references herein to filings to be made on a "timely basis" shall include and mean, any extension periods permissible under Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act, provided that the Company has complied with such rule, but not beyond said extension date.

 

5.7           Board.  For so long as Purchaser owns at least 12,500,000 shares of the Company, the Company shall appoint a nominee of Purchaser as a member of its board of directors. Said person may only be removed by consent of Purchaser and his or her replacement nominated only by Purchaser.

 

5.8           Right to Participate in Future Offerings. Purchaser shall have a pro rata right, giving effect to Purchaser's equity ownership (including Warrant Shares that may be acquired) to participate in subsequent offerings of securities of the Company.

 

5.9           Anti-Dilution. If the Company during 24 months following the Execution Date issues any additional shares (including, but not limited to, all classes of shares, warrants, rights to subscribe for shares and securities convertible into any share class) for a consideration per share that is less than $0.04 per share (as adjusted for any change of nominal values of shares such as forward or reverse share splits and similar events), the subscription price (as adjusted for share splits, consolidations of shares and similar events) of the shares issued subject to any of the foregoing Investment Amounts shall be adjusted on a full ratchet basis. The adjustment will be made through the issuance of additional shares to the Purchaser at par value so that the ownership of the Purchaser after the dilutive issuance shall be set equal to the ownership that Purchaser would have had if the price paid by the Purchaser (based on the Investment Amount, added for the avoidance of doubt for the amount if any paid to subscribe for the anti-dilution shares) had been the same as the price of the dilutive issuance.

1)

	
Exercise Rights.

 

	
a)

	
Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part commencing on the Effective Date, by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a completed and duly executed Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exer-cise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be pur-chased by the Holder in connection with such cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer, delivery of a check payable to the order of the Company or delivery of a promissory note made by the Company for whole or partial cancellation, or any combination of the foregoing, to the principal offices of the Company.  The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected on the day on which the Holder surrenders this Warrant to the Company and satisfies all of the requirements of this Section.  Upon such exercise, the Holder will be deemed a shareholder of record of those Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has been exercised with all rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, all voting rights with respect to such Warrant Shares and all rights to receive any dividends with respect to such Warrant Shares).  If this Warrant is to be exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised and for which it remains subject to exercise.  Such new warrant shall be in all other respects identical to this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

	
b)

	
Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by this Warrant on a cash basis pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by this Warrant at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such cashless exercise) at the time of any such cashless exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company this Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Cashless Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, (B) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, and (C) the number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to the Warrant after such cashless exercise, if any (each as determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).

 

	
c)

	
In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a cashless basis pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

	
1.

	
X = Y (A-B)

	
i.

	
A

 

	
2.

	
X   =   the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise.

 

	
3.

	
Y   =   the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant.

 

	
4.

	
A   =   the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of common stock of the Company on the date of exercise.

 

	
5.

	
B   =   the Exercise Price in effect as of the date of such cashless exercise (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

 

	
d)

	
Additional Conditions to Exercise of Warrant. Unless there is a registration statement declared or ordered effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act which includes the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, such rights may not be exercised unless and until:

 

	
i)

	
each certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

 

 

 

 

	
1.

	
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSELTO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT.

 

	
e)

	
Fractional Shares. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall not be obligated to issue fractional shares of Common Stock, and in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such exercise multiplied by such fraction (rounded to the nearest cent).

 

	
f)

	
Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles time December 6, 2021, and shall thereafter no longer be exercisable or have any value whatever.

 

	
g)

	
Record Ownership of Warrant Shares. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the person in whose name any certificate representing Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (as indicated in the appropriate Notice of Exercise) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of (and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of) the Warrant Shares represented thereby, immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which the rights represented by this Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

	
h)

	
Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased pursuant hereto shall be delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

	
i)

	
Issue Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of stock upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof; 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 and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant.

 

	
j)

	
Conditional Exercise.  The Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to submit a notice of exercise of this Warrant conditional upon an acquisition of the Company. If such transaction upon which such exercise is conditioned is not consummated, such notice of exercise shall be deemed of no further force or effect.  For the purposes hereof, the Fair Market Value for the purposes of Section 1(b) hereto shall be the value of the consideration payable or issuable to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.

 

 

 

	
k)

	
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance, will be duly and validly issued, will be fully paid and nonassessable, will not violate any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, will be free from restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will have the rights, preferences and privileges described in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended; and the Warrant Shares will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Holder through no action of the Company.  During the period within which the rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant. The Company hereby covenants to maintain at all times while the Warrants are outstanding, reserved and authorized for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of Warrant Shares as equals 150% of the number of shares that such Warrants are exercisable for at any time and from time to time. The Company hereby further agrees to take all further acts, including, without limitation, providing written notification of the foregoing limitation to its transfer agent with instructions not to issue shares that would result in violation by the Company of the foregoing provision, as well as amending its charter or amending any filing with any exchange or quotation service in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 

	
2)

	
Adjustment Rights.

 

	
a)

	
Right to Adjustment.  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and the Exercise Price therefor, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

	
i)

	
Merger.  If at any time there shall be a merger, consolidation or any other transaction of the Company with another entity pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, as a part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive a Warrant of the surviving entity with substantially equivalent terms as this Warrant, exercisable for the period specified herein. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the merger or consolidation.

 

	
ii)

	
Stock Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Consolidations. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision, as the case may be.  In the event of a reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event, as the case may be.

 

	
b)

	
Adjustment Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, in accordance with this Section 2, the Company, within 30 days there-after, shall give written notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if appli-cable, the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each such adjustment.

 

 

 

	
3)

	
Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and the rights represented hereby may be transferred by the Holder in whole or in part. In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company a completed and duly executed Notice of Transfer, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. The Company shall, upon receipt of a transfer notice and appropriate documentation, promptly register any Transfer on the Company's Warrant Register.

	
4)

	
Piggyback and Demand Registration Rights.

	
i)

	
If the Company, during the term of this Warrant, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares, the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holder of this Warrant and to its assignees, if any, of its intention to do so. The holder of Warrant shall exercise the "piggy-back" rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice. Except as set forth in Section 4(ii), the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so to be registered, by inclusion of such Warrant Shares in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register.  The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

	
ii)

	
If a Holder requests registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Warrant Shares (including any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement or, if available, on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement, the Company shall promptly, but in any event more than seventy five days from the date of such request, file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each request for a demand registration shall specify the number of Warrant Shares requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.

	
iii)

	
If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by this Section 4 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by a holder of Warrant, use its reasonable commercial efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Warrant Shares to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters.

	
5)

	
Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Warrant have properly requested that any Warrant Shares be registered pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall effect the registration for the sale of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

viii)

	
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of the Company, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

 

 

	
ix)

	
in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Warrant Shares included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and

	
x)

	
if the offering is underwritten, to furnish on the date that Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration, an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters covering such issues as are reasonably required by such underwriters.

	
6)

	
No Shareholder Rights.

1)

	
Exercise Rights.

 

	
a)

	
Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part commencing on the Effective Date, by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a completed and duly executed Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exer-cise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be pur-chased by the Holder in connection with such cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer, delivery of a check payable to the order of the Company or delivery of a promissory note made by the Company for whole or partial cancellation, or any combination of the foregoing, to the principal offices of the Company.  The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected on the day on which the Holder surrenders this Warrant to the Company and satisfies all of the requirements of this Section.  Upon such exercise, the Holder will be deemed a shareholder of record of those Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has been exercised with all rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, all voting rights with respect to such Warrant Shares and all rights to receive any dividends with respect to such Warrant Shares).  If this Warrant is to be exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised and for which it remains subject to exercise.  Such new warrant shall be in all other respects identical to this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

	
b)

	
Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by this Warrant on a cash basis pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by this Warrant at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such cashless exercise) at the time of any such cashless exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company this Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Cashless Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, (B) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, and (C) the number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to the Warrant after such cashless exercise, if any (each as determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).

 

	
c)

	
In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a cashless basis pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

	
1.

	
X = Y (A-B)

	
i.

	
A

 

	
2.

	
X     =     the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise.

 

	
3.

	
Y     =     the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant.

 

	
4.

	
A     =     the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of common stock of the Company on the date of exercise.

 

	
5.

	
B     =     the Exercise Price in effect as of the date of such cashless exercise (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

 

	
d)

	
Additional Conditions to Exercise of Warrant. Unless there is a registration statement declared or ordered effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act which includes the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, such rights may not be exercised unless and until:

 

	
i)

	
each certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

 

 

	
1.

	
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSELTO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT.

 

	
e)

	
Fractional Shares. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall not be obligated to issue fractional shares of Common Stock, and in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such exercise multiplied by such fraction (rounded to the nearest cent).

 

	
f)

	
Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles time December 6, 2019, and shall thereafter no longer be exercisable or have any value whatever.

 

	
g)

	
Record Ownership of Warrant Shares. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the person in whose name any certificate representing Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (as indicated in the appropriate Notice of Exercise) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of (and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of) the Warrant Shares represented thereby, immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which the rights represented by this Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

	
h)

	
Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased pursuant hereto shall be delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

	
i)

	
Issue Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of stock upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof; 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 and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant.

 

	
j)

	
Conditional Exercise.  The Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to submit a notice of exercise of this Warrant conditional upon an acquisition of the Company. If such transaction upon which such exercise is conditioned is not consummated, such notice of exercise shall be deemed of no further force or effect.  For the purposes hereof, the Fair Market Value for the purposes of Section 1(b) hereto shall be the value of the consideration payable or issuable to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.

 

 

 

	
k)

	
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance, will be duly and validly issued, will be fully paid and nonassessable, will not violate any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, will be free from restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will have the rights, preferences and privileges described in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended; and the Warrant Shares will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Holder through no action of the Company.  During the period within which the rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant. The Company hereby covenants to maintain at all times while the Warrants are outstanding, reserved and authorized for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of Warrant Shares as equals 150% of the number of shares that such Warrants are exercisable for at any time and from time to time. The Company hereby further agrees to take all further acts, including, without limitation, providing written notification of the foregoing limitation to its transfer agent with instructions not to issue shares that would result in violation by the Company of the foregoing provision, as well as amending its charter or amending any filing with any exchange or quotation service in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 

	
2)

	
Adjustment Rights.

 

	
a)

	
Right to Adjustment.  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and the Exercise Price therefor, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

	
i)

	
Merger.  If at any time there shall be a merger, consolidation or any other transaction of the Company with another entity pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, as a part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive a Warrant of the surviving entity with substantially equivalent terms as this Warrant, exercisable for the period specified herein. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the merger or consolidation.

 

	
ii)

	
Stock Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Consolidations. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision, as the case may be.  In the event of a reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event, as the case may be.

 

	
b)

	
Adjustment Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, in accordance with this Section 2, the Company, within 30 days there-after, shall give written notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if appli-cable, the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each such adjustment.

 

 

 

	
3)

	
Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and the rights represented hereby may be transferred by the Holder in whole or in part. In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company a completed and duly executed Notice of Transfer, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. The Company shall, upon receipt of a transfer notice and appropriate documentation, promptly register any Transfer on the Company's Warrant Register.

	
4)

	
Piggyback and Demand Registration Rights.

	
i)

	
If the Company, during the term of this Warrant, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares, the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holder of this Warrant and to its assignees, if any, of its intention to do so. The holder of Warrant shall exercise the "piggy-back" rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice. Except as set forth in Section 4(ii), the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so to be registered, by inclusion of such Warrant Shares in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register.  The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

	
ii)

	
If a Holder requests registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Warrant Shares (including any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement or, if available, on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement, the Company shall promptly, but in any event more than seventy five days from the date of such request, file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each request for a demand registration shall specify the number of Warrant Shares requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.

	
iii)

	
If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by this Section 4 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by a holder of Warrant, use its reasonable commercial efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Warrant Shares to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters.

	
5)

	
Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Warrant have properly requested that any Warrant Shares be registered pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall effect the registration for the sale of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

	
i)

	
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Warrant Shares and cause such registration statement to become effective;

 

  

	
ii)

	
notify such holders of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to (i) keep such registration statement effective and the prospectus included therein usable for a period commencing on the date that such registration statement is initially declared effective by the SEC and ending on the date when all Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant to the registration statement, and (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

	
iii)

	
furnish to such holders such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Warrant Shares owned by such holders;

	
iv)

	
register or qualify such Warrant Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such holders reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Warrant Shares owned by such holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to: (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph; (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

	
v)

	
notify such holders, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not materially misleading, and, at the reasonable request of such holders, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Warrant Shares, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not materially misleading;

	
vi)

	
provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Warrant Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

	
vii)

	
make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, managers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

 

	
viii)

	
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of the Company, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

 

 

 

	
ix)

	
in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Warrant Shares included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and

	
x)

	
if the offering is underwritten, to furnish on the date that Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration, an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters covering such issues as are reasonably required by such underwriters.

	
6)

	
No Shareholder Rights. The Holder of this Warrant (and any transferee hereof) shall not be entitled to vote on matters submitted for the approval or consent of the shareholders of the Company or to receive dividends declared on or in respect of shares of Common Stock, or otherwise be deemed to be the holder of Common Stock or any other capital stock or other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder (or any transferee hereof) any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted for the approval or consent of the shareholders, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, merger or consolidation, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or other-wise until this Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of the actual exercise of such Warrant or any part thereof into Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, shall give rise to any liability on the part of such Holder as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability shall be asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

	
7)

	
Miscellaneous.

 

	
a)

	
Governing Law. This Warrant will be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of California, as applied to agreements entered into, and to be performed entirely in such state, between residents of such state.

Warrant No.:

	
December 6, 2016

San Clemente, California

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, effective as of December 6, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), PCF Group, LLC or its permitted registered assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase from KonaRed Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") up to a total of 12,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (each such share, a "Warrant Share" and all such shares, the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price per share equal to $0.25 (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 2 herein, the "Exercise Price"), at any time and from time to time from on or after the Effective Date (the "Trigger Date") and through and including 5:00 P.M., prevailing Pacific time, on June 6, 2019 (the "Expiration Date"), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

	
1.

	
Exercise Rights.

 

	
 

	
(a)       Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part commencing on the Effective Date, by surrender of this Warrant and delivery of a completed and duly executed Notice of Cash Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, accompanied by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exer-cise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be pur-chased by the Holder in connection with such cash exercise of this Warrant, which amount may be paid, at the election of the Holder, by wire transfer, delivery of a check payable to the order of the Company or delivery of a promissory note made by the Company for whole or partial cancellation, or any combination of the foregoing, to the principal offices of the Company.  The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected on the day on which the Holder surrenders this Warrant to the Company and satisfies all of the requirements of this Section.  Upon such exercise, the Holder will be deemed a shareholder of record of those Warrant Shares for which the Warrant has been exercised with all rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, all voting rights with respect to such Warrant Shares and all rights to receive any dividends with respect to such Warrant Shares).  If this Warrant is to be exercised in respect of less than all of the Warrant Shares covered hereby, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised and for which it remains subject to exercise.  Such new warrant shall be in all other respects identical to this Warrant.

 

 

 

	
 

	
(b)          Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising the purchase rights represented by this Warrant on a cash basis pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise such rights represented by this Warrant at any time during the term hereof, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis by electing to receive the number of Warrant Shares which are equal in value to the value of this Warrant (or any portion thereof to be canceled in connection with such cashless exercise) at the time of any such cashless exercise, by delivery to the principal offices of the Company this Warrant and a completed and duly executed Notice of Cashless Exercise, in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, properly marked to indicate (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, (B) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise, and (C) the number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to the Warrant after such cashless exercise, if any (each as determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) hereof).

 

	
 

	
(c)          In the event that the Holder shall elect to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant in whole or in part on a cashless basis pursuant to this Section 1(b), the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

            A

 

X     =     the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder in connection with such cashless exercise.

 

Y     =     the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant.

 

A     =     the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of common stock of the Company on the date of exercise.

 

B     =     the Exercise Price in effect as of the date of such cashless exercise (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

 

	
 

	
(d)          Additional Conditions to Exercise of Warrant. Unless there is a registration statement declared or ordered effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act which includes the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, such rights may not be exercised unless and until:

 

	
 

	
(i)          each certificate evidencing the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

 

 

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSELTO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT.

 

	
 

	
(e)          Fractional Shares. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Company shall not be obligated to issue fractional shares of Common Stock, and in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such exercise multiplied by such fraction (rounded to the nearest cent).

 

	
 

	
(f)          Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire at 5:00 p.m. Los Angeles time June 6, 2019, and shall thereafter no longer be exercisable or have any value whatever.

 

	
 

	
(g)          Record Ownership of Warrant Shares. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the person in whose name any certificate representing Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (as indicated in the appropriate Notice of Exercise) shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of (and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of) the Warrant Shares represented thereby, immediately prior to the close of business on the date or dates upon which the rights represented by this Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

	
 

	
(h)          Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased pursuant hereto shall be delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

	
 

	
(i)          Issue Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of stock upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof; 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 and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant.

 

	
 

	
(j)          Conditional Exercise.  The Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to submit a notice of exercise of this Warrant conditional upon an acquisition of the Company. If such transaction upon which such exercise is conditioned is not consummated, such notice of exercise shall be deemed of no further force or effect.  For the purposes hereof, the Fair Market Value for the purposes of Section 1(b) hereto shall be the value of the consideration payable or issuable to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

	
 

	
(k)          Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance, will be duly and validly issued, will be fully paid and nonassessable, will not violate any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, will be free from restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will have the rights, preferences and privileges described in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended; and the Warrant Shares will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Holder through no action of the Company.  During the period within which the rights represented by the Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the right represented by this Warrant. The Company hereby covenants to maintain at all times while the Warrants are outstanding, reserved and authorized for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of Warrant Shares as equals 150% of the number of shares that such Warrants are exercisable for at any time and from time to time. The Company hereby further agrees to take all further acts, including, without limitation, providing written notification of the foregoing limitation to its transfer agent with instructions not to issue shares that would result in violation by the Company of the foregoing provision, as well as amending its charter or amending any filing with any exchange or quotation service in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 

	
2.

	
Adjustment Rights.

 

	
 

	
(a)          Right to Adjustment.  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, and the Exercise Price therefor, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

	
 

	
(i)          Merger.  If at any time there shall be a merger, consolidation or any other transaction of the Company with another entity pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving corporation, then, as a part of such merger or consolidation, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive a Warrant of the surviving entity with substantially equivalent terms as this Warrant, exercisable for the period specified herein. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the merger or consolidation.

 

	
 

	
(ii)          Stock Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Consolidations. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price then in effect shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such stock split, stock dividend or subdivision, as the case may be.  In the event of a reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event of or in respect of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior to such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such reverse stock split, consolidation, combination or other similar event, as the case may be.

 

 

 

 

	
 

	
(b)          Adjustment Notices. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and any increase or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, in accordance with this Section 2, the Company, within 30 days there-after, shall give written notice thereof to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Exercise Price as adjusted and, if appli-cable, the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each such adjustment.

	
3.

	
Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and the rights represented hereby may be transferred by the Holder in whole or in part. In order to effect any transfer of all or a portion of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall deliver to the Company a completed and duly executed Notice of Transfer, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. The Company shall, upon receipt of a transfer notice and appropriate documentation, promptly register any Transfer on the Company's Warrant Register.

	
4.

	
Piggyback and Demand Registration Rights.

	
 

	
(i)     If the Company, during the term of this Warrant, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares, the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holder of this Warrant and to its assignees, if any, of its intention to do so. The holder of Warrant shall exercise the "piggy-back" rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice. Except as set forth in Section 4(ii), the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so to be registered, by inclusion of such Warrant Shares in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register.  The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

	
 

	
(ii)          If a Holder requests registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Warrant Shares (including any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any Warrants) on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement or, if available, on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement, the Company shall promptly, but in any event more than seventy five days from the date of such request, file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each request for a demand registration shall specify the number of Warrant Shares requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.

	
 

	
(iii)         If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by this Section 4 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by a holder of Warrant, use its reasonable commercial efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Warrant Shares to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters.

 

 

 

	
5.

	
Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Warrant have properly requested that any Warrant Shares be registered pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall effect the registration for the sale of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

 

(i)         prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Warrant Shares and cause such registration statement to become effective;

 

(ii)        notify such holders of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to (i) keep such registration statement effective and the prospectus included therein usable for a period commencing on the date that such registration statement is initially declared effective by the SEC and ending on the date when all Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant to the registration statement, and (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

 

(iii)        furnish to such holders such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Warrant Shares owned by such holders;

 

(iv)       register or qualify such Warrant Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such holders reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Warrant Shares owned by such holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to: (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph; (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

(v)        notify such holders, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not materially misleading, and, at the reasonable request of such holders, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Warrant Shares, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not materially misleading;

 

(vi)       provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Warrant Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

 

(vii)       make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, managers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

 

 

(viii)     comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of the Company, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

 

(ix)        in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Warrant Shares included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and

 

(x)         if the offering is underwritten, to furnish on the date that Warrant Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration, an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters covering such issues as are reasonably required by such underwriters.

 

	
6.

	
No Shareholder Rights. The Holder of this Warrant (and any transferee hereof) shall not be entitled to vote on matters submitted for the approval or consent of the shareholders of the Company or to receive dividends declared on or in respect of shares of Common Stock, or otherwise be deemed to be the holder of Common Stock or any other capital stock or other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder (or any transferee hereof) any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted for the approval or consent of the shareholders, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, merger or consolidation, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or other-wise until this Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of the actual exercise of such Warrant or any part thereof into Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, shall give rise to any liability on the part of such Holder as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability shall be asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

	
7.

	
Miscellaneous.

 

	
 

	
(a)       Governing Law. This Warrant will be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of California, as applied to agreements entered into, and to be performed entirely in such state, between residents of such state.

 

	
 

	
(b)       Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 3, the rights and obligations of the Company and Holder of this Warrant shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

 

	
 

	
(c)       Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and will be sent by telecopier or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered either by hand or by messenger, addressed (a) if to the Holder, at the address indicated on the Company's books, or at such other address and telecopier number as Holder will have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) if to the Company, at 1101 Via Callejon #200, San Clemente, California 92673, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, or at such other address and telecopier number as the Company will have furnished to the Holder and each such other holder in writing.

(e)       Severability. In case any provision of this Warrant will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

	
 

	
(f)       Lost Warrant. Upon receipt from the Holder of written notice or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an unsecured indemnity agreement and an affidavit of lost warrant, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, the Company, at the Company's expense, will make and deliver a new Warrant in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant carrying the same rights and obligations as the original Warrant.
