OMNIBUS STOCK AND OPTION COMPENSATION PLAN 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

1. Grant of Option. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby
grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant attached to this Stock Option Agreement (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the
“Shares”) set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice”), at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “Exercise Price”) subject to the terms, definitions and
provisions of the Company’s Omnibus Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated in this Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) by reference. Unless otherwise defined in this
Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. 
 This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock
Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code only to the extent so designated in the Notice, and to the extent it is not so designated or to the extent this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it is intended to be a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if designated as an Incentive Stock Option, if the Shares subject to this Option (and all other incentive stock options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
including under other plans of the Company) that first become exercisable in any calendar year have an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as of the date of grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000, the
Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as subject to a Nonstatutory Stock Option in accordance with applicable law. 
 2.
Exercise of Option.  
 (a) Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule, Termination Period and Expiration Date set forth in the Notice, Section 4 below and with the applicable provisions of the Plan. This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. 

(b) Method of Exercise. 

(i) This Option shall be exercisable by execution and delivery of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A or of any other
form of written notice approved for such purpose by the Company which shall state Optionee’s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares in respect of which this Option is being exercised, and such other representations and
agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company by such
means as are determined by the Committee in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased Shares. 

 (ii) As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set forth in Section 13
of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax or withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, or disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct
payment to the Company, or otherwise. 
 (iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver
any Shares upon exercise of this Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. This Option may not be
exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the Company’s stockholders, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable
laws, rules or regulations, including any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or any other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by applicable laws, rules or regulations. Assuming such compliance, for income
tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which this Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. 

(iv) Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, this Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the
Company of the appropriate written notice of exercise accompanied by the Exercise Price and the satisfaction of any applicable withholding obligations. 

3. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination of the following, at the
election of Optionee: (a) cash, (b) check, (c) Cashless Exercise, or (d) surrender of previously owned Shares. 
 4.
Termination of Relationship. Following the date of termination of Optionee’s Service for any reason (the “Termination Date”), Optionee may exercise this Option only as set forth in the Notice and this
Section 4. If Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth below, this Option shall terminate in its entirety. In no event may this Option be exercised after
the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. In the event of termination of Optionee’s Service other than as a result of Optionee’s Disability, death or for Cause, Optionee may, to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Shares at the
Termination Date, exercise this Option during the Termination Period set forth in the Notice. In the event of any other termination, Optionee may exercise this Option only as described below: 

(a) Termination upon Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of Optionee’s Service as a result of
Optionee’s Disability, Optionee may, but only within 12 months from the Termination Date, exercise this Option to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Shares. 

 (b) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of Optionee while in Service or
within 3 months following the termination of Optionee’s Service, this Option may be exercised at any time within 12 months following the date of death by any beneficiary properly designated by the Optionee or, if no such beneficiary exists, by
the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise this Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Shares. 

(c) Termination for Cause. In the event Optionee’s Service is terminated for Cause, this Option shall terminate
immediately upon such termination for Cause. In the event Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is suspended pending investigation of whether such relationship shall be terminated for Cause, all Optionee’s
rights under this Option, including the right to exercise this Option, shall be suspended during the investigation period. 
 5.
Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The designation of a beneficiary does not constitute a transfer. This Option may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee. 

6. Authorization to Release Necessary Personal Information.  

(a) Optionee hereby authorizes and directs Optionee’s employer to collect, use and transfer in electronic or other form, any personal
information (the “Data”) regarding Optionee’s employment, the nature and amount of Optionee’s compensation and the facts and conditions of Optionee’s participation in the Plan (including, but not limited to,
Optionee’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number (or any other social or national identification number), salary, nationality, job title, number of shares held and the details of all Awards or any other
entitlement to Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding) for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Data may be transferred to the
Company or any of its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third party assisting with the
administration of this Option under the Plan or with whom shares acquired pursuant to this Option or cash from the sale of shares underlying this Option may be deposited. Optionee acknowledges that recipients of the Data may be located in different
countries, and those countries may have data privacy laws and protections different from those in the country of Optionee’s residence. Furthermore, Optionee acknowledges and understand that the transfer of the Data to the Company or any of its
Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates, or to any third parties is necessary for Optionee’s participation in the Plan. 
 (b) Optionee may
at any time withdraw the consents herein by contacting Optionee’s local human resources representative in writing. Optionee further acknowledges that withdrawal of consent may affect Optionee’s ability to exercise or realize benefits from
this Option, and Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. 

 7. No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation. 

(a) Optionee’s rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with this Option or any other Award is derived solely from the
discretionary decision of the Company to permit Optionee to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary Award. By accepting this Option, Optionee expressly acknowledges that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to
continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards to Optionee. This Option is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of Optionee’s normal or expected compensation, and in no way represents any portion of
a Optionee’s salary, compensation, or other remuneration for purposes of pension benefits, severance, redundancy, resignation or any other purpose. 

(b) Neither the Plan nor this Option or any other Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give Optionee a right to become or remain an
Employee, Consultant or director of the Company, a Parent, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliate. The Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate Optionee’s Service at any time, with or without cause, and for
any reason, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any), and Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any claim to damages or specific performance for
breach of contract or dismissal, compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan, this Option or any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to any future Award. 

(c) Optionee acknowledges that he or she is voluntarily participating in the Plan. 

(d) The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If the underlying Shares do not increase in
value, the Option will have no value. If Optionee exercises the Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price. 

8. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Option granted
under and participation in the Plan or future options that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by
electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 

9. Translation. If this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan is translated into a language other than English and
if the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will take precedence. 
 10. Effect of
Agreement. Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Option terms), and hereby accepts
this Option and agrees to be bound by its contractual terms as set forth herein and in the Plan. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Committee regarding any questions relating to
this Option. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and provisions of the Notice and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail. 

 11. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. 

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement, together with the Notice and the Plan, sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and therein and merges all prior discussions between the parties. Except as contemplated under the Plan, no modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed or, if permitted by the Company, electronically accepted, by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement
shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party. 
 (c) Severability. If one or more provisions of this
Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then
(i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with
its terms. 
 (d) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
sufficient when delivered personally or sent by telegram or fax or 48 hours after being deposited in the mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices and to Optionee at
the address maintained for Optionee in the Company’s records. 
 (e) Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Optionee under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company.

extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan, which is attached to, and made a part of, this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of
the Plan and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall prevail. 
 In consideration of the mutual
agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Restricted Stock Units.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby grants to you, and you hereby accept from the Company, 120,000 stock units, each of which is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of one (1) Share (the “Restricted Stock

(a) So long as your Service continues, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the following schedule (each date specified
being a “Vesting Date”):

price of the Common Stock of the Company during any thirty (30) consecutive days during the period beginning on September 7, 2014 and ending on September 7, 2017 (the “Performance Period”) has been at least equal to
five (5) dollars.

consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 9(e) of the employment agreement with the Company dated September 6, 2011, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”), 

(i) if your Service is terminated by the Company after the occurrence of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Plan, the

5. Withholding Taxes. You agree to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any applicable tax obligations
that arise in connection with the Restricted Stock Units which, at the sole discretion of the Committee, may include (i) having the Company withhold Shares from the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or (ii) any other arrangement
approved by the Company, in either case, equal in value to the amount necessary to satisfy any such tax obligations. Absent any arrangements to the contrary, the Company may withhold Shares from the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to
satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations hereunder. 

 6. Tax Advice. You represent, warrant and acknowledge that the Company has made no
warranties or representations to you with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and you are in no manner relying on the Company or the Company’s representatives for an assessment of such tax
consequences. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING ANY RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. NOTHING STATED HEREIN IS INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE
PURPOSE OF AVOIDING TAXPAYER PENALTIES. 
 7. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The designation of a beneficiary or entry into a will or similar arrangement does not constitute a transfer. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon your executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns. 
 8. Restriction on Transfer. Regardless of whether the transfer or issuance of the
Shares to be issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company may impose additional restrictions upon the sale,
pledge, or other transfer of the Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates, if any, and the issuance of stop-transfer instructions to the Company’s transfer agent) if, in the judgment of the Company and the
Company’s counsel, such restrictions are necessary in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state, or any other law. 

9. Stock Certificate Restrictive Legends. Stock certificates evidencing the Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units, if
any, may bear such restrictive legends as the Company and the Company’s counsel deem necessary under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement. 

10. Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Acknowledgments. You hereby agree that in the event the Company and the Company’s
counsel deem it necessary or advisable in the exercise of their discretion, the transfer or issuance of the Shares issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units may be conditioned upon you making certain representations, warranties, and
acknowledgments relating to compliance with applicable securities laws. 
 11. Voting and Other Rights. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, you shall not have any voting rights or any other rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are settled. 

 12. Authorization to Release Necessary Personal Information. You hereby authorize and
direct your employer to collect, use and transfer in electronic or other form, any personal information (the “Data”) regarding your employment, the nature and amount of your compensation and the facts and conditions of your
participation in the Plan (including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number (or any other social or national identification number), salary, nationality, job title, number of shares held
and the details of all Awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding) for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. You understand that the Data
may be transferred to the Company or any of its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates, or to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third
party assisting with the administration of this Restricted Stock Unit under the Plan or with whom shares acquired pursuant to this Restricted Stock Unit or cash from the sale of such shares may be deposited. You acknowledge that recipients of the

Company or any of its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates, or to any third parties is necessary for your participation in the Plan. You may at any time withdraw the consents herein by contacting your local human resources representative in writing.
You further acknowledge that withdrawal of consent may affect your ability to realize benefits from this Restricted Stock Unit, and your ability to participate in the Plan. 

13. No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation. 

(a) Your rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with this Restricted Stock Unit or any other Award is derived solely from the
discretionary decision of the Company to permit you to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary Award. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit, you expressly acknowledge that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to
continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards to you. This Restricted Stock Unit is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of your normal or expected compensation, and in no way represents any portion of
a your salary, compensation, or other remuneration for purposes of pension benefits, severance, redundancy, resignation or any other purpose. 

(b) Neither the Plan nor this Restricted Stock Unit or any other Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give you a right to become or

any reason, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and a written employment agreement (if any), and you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any claim to damages or specific performance for breach
of contract or dismissal, compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan, this Restricted Stock Unit or any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to any future Award. 

14. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered
personally or sent by telegram or fax or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices and to you at the address
maintained for you in the Company’s records. 
 15. Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement, together with the
Plan, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and therein and merges all prior discussions between the parties. Except as contemplated under the Plan, no modification of or amendment to
this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a
waiver of any rights of such party.

renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of
this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

18. Successors and Assigns. The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the
Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of you under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES

OF THE COMMON STOCK OF

COPSYNC, INC.

 

	Warrant No.: 2014 – ___	Date of Issuance: ________, 2014

 

This certifies that _______________ or his permitted assigns (each individually, a “Holder”) for value received, shall be entitled to purchase from COPsync, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), having a mailing address at P.O. Box 802108, Dallas, Texas 75380-2108, a maximum of _______________ THOUSAND (_____,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for a purchase price equal to $0.___ per share (the “Exercise Price”) at any time, or from time to time, up to and including 5:00 p.m., Central Standard time on the fourth anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”), upon (i) the surrender to the Company at its principal place of business (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing) of this Warrant and a Form of Subscription in substantially the form attached hereto duly completed and executed and, (ii) payment in full in cash or by certified check or wire transfer of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised, determined in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 hereof.

 

This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants issued for shares of Common Stock of the Company issued in connection with a capital raise of the Company pursuant to which the Company has issued in 2014 shares of its Common Stock and warrants to various purchasers (collectively, the “Warrant Series”).

This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1.           Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment For Shares.

(a)           General.  This Warrant is exercisable at the option of the Holder of record hereof, at any time or from time to time up to the Expiration Date for all or any part of the shares of Common Stock (but not for a fraction of a share) which may be purchased hereunder.  The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which (i) this Warrant shall have been surrendered, properly endorsed, (ii) the completed, executed Form of Subscription shall have been surrendered, and (iii) payment shall have been made to the Company for such shares, in each case, at the Company’s address set forth above (or at such other location as the Company may advise the Holder in writing).  Certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to the Holder by the Company at the Company’s expense within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so exercised, and in any event, within ten (10) days of such exercise.  In case of a purchase of less than all the shares that may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor for the balance of the shares purchasable under the Warrant surrendered upon such purchase, to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time.  Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of the Holder.

 

	Form of COPsync Warrant 2014	 Page 1

 

  

  

 

(b)           Common Stock Legend.  Upon any exercise of the Warrants, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend substantially identical to that set forth on the face of this Warrant.

2.           Shares To Be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.

The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duty authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that, during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, or other securities and property, when and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under Federal or State securities laws with respect to such exercise.

3.           Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares (or amount of other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3.  This Section shall not require an adjustment to the Exercise Price in connection with any dividends paid in cash or upon any sale of shares of Common Stock for a per share price that is less than the Exercise Price.

(a)           Subdivision or Combination of Stock.     If the Company shall effect a stock dividend or stock split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such stock dividend, stock split or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, if the Company shall effect a reverse stock split or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such reverse stock split or combination shall be proportionately increased.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(b)           Dividends in Common Stock, Other Stock, Property, Reclassification.     If the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,

(i)           Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities that are directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock dividend, stock split or subdivision, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3(a) above),

(ii)           any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend (other than a liquidation or dissolution, which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3(d) below), or

 

	Form of COPsync Warrant 2014	 Page 2

 

  

  

(iii)           additional shares of Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock dividend, stock split or subdivision, adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section 3(a) above),

then, and in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon such exercise, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.

(c)           Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other similar transaction, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Common Stock, securities or other assets or property (an “Organic Change”) and the Company is the resulting or surviving corporation of such Organic Change, then, as a condition of such Organic Change, provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable in connection with such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change.  In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares (or amount of stock, other securities or property) purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.  In the event of any Organic Change pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, prior to the consummation thereof, the corporation resulting from such Organic Change or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase; provided, however, this Warrant may be canceled by the Company as of the effective date of any such Organic Change pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, and in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction do not retain, immediately after such Organic Change, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity,  by giving notice to the Holder of the Company’s intent to do so at least thirty (30) business days prior to the effective date of such Organic Change or record date associated with such Organic Change, whichever is earlier.

(d)           Liquidation or Dissolution.  In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this Warrant will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, so long as the Company has delivered the notice required by Section 3(f)(iv) below, giving the Holder the opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such dissolution or liquidation.

(e)           Certain Events.  If any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or any other event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder of the Warrant in accordance with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an adjustment in the number and class of shares or other securities or property available under the Warrant, the Exercise Price or the application of such provisions, so as to

 

	Form of COPsync Warrant 2014	 Page 3

 

  

  

 

protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price the total number, class and kind of shares or other securities or property as the Holder have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

(f)           Notices of Change.

(i)           Immediately upon any adjustment in the number or class of shares subject to this Warrant and of the Exercise Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment,

(ii)           The Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record for determining rights to receive any dividends or distributions,

(iii)           The Company shall also give written notice to the Holder at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date on which an Organic Change shall take place, and

(iv)           The Company shall give written notice to the Holder at least fifteen (15)  business days prior to the effective date of any proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(g)           Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(h)           Adjustments.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 3(h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account for purposes of any subsequent adjustment.

4.           DELIBERATELY OMITTED

5.           Issue Tax.

The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of the Warrant for any issue tax (other than any applicable income taxes) 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 then Holder of the Warrant being exercised.

6.           No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitation of Liability.

Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Warrant.  No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.

7.           Transfer; Division and Combination.

(a)           Transfer Restricted.  This Warrant, and any rights hereunder, may not be assigned or transferred, except as provided in the legend hereon and in accordance with and subject to provisions of (i) all applicable state securities laws, and (ii) the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  Any purported transfer or assignment made other than in accordance with this Section 7 shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

(b)           Assignment.  Any assignment permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal place of business as set forth above with a Form of Assignment in substantially the form attached hereto duly completed and executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, if any.  In such event, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment in the amount so assigned and this Warrant shall be promptly canceled; provided, however, that in the event that Holder hereof shall assign or transfer less than the full amount of this Warrant, a new Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so assigned or transferred shall be issued in the name of the Holder.

(c)           Division and Combination.  This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation and surrender hereof at the principal place of business of the Company as set forth above, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued signed by the Holder.  Subject to compliance with Section 3(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

(d)           Non-Interference; Par Value.  The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of this Warrant or any share of Common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall from time to time take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that the par value per share of the unissued Common Stock acquirable upon exercisable of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect.

8.           Register.

The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the registered Holders of the Warrant Series.  The Holder may change his or its address as shown on the Warrant register at any time by giving written notice to the Company requesting such change.

9.           Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the Holder entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price.

10.        Miscellaneous.

(a)           Amendments.     Any term of this Warrant may be amended with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of Warrants constituting the Warrant Series representing not less than a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any and all outstanding Warrants constituting the Warrant Series, even without the consent of the Holder.  Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 10(a) shall be binding upon each Holder of any of the Warrants constituting the Warrant Series, each future Holder of all such Warrants, and the Company; provided, however, that no special consideration or inducement may be given to any such Holder in connection with such consent that is not given ratably to all such Holders, and that such amendment must apply to all such Holders equally and ratably in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock

 

	Form of COPsync Warrant 2014	 Page 5

 

  

  

issuable upon exercise of their Warrants.  The Company shall promptly give notice to all Holders of the Warrants constituting the Warrant Series of any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 10(a).

(b)           Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to each such Holder at its address as on the Warrant Register or to the Company at the address indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant or such other address as either may from time to time provide to the other.

(c)           Binding Effect on Successors.  This Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.  All of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the Holder hereof.

(d)           Descriptive Headings and Governing Law.  The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware.

(e)           Lost Warrants.  The Company represents and warrants to the Holder hereof that upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
