 B. Employee desires to provide his services to the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
   
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee and the Company hereby covenant and agree as follows:
  
 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.
   
 2.  Employment.

 (b) Employee accepts employment and agrees to devote his full time and attention to the performance of his duties as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and to operate within the guidelines, plans and policies as may be established or approved by the Company from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during his employment, the Employee shall not serve on the boards of directors of any for- profit entity without the prior consent of the Board.
   
 (c) Employee shall commence his duties hereunder as of the Effective Date and continue in the employ of the Company for a definite term of three (3) years until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”) or until his employment is terminated sooner as provided in this Agreement. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods (the “Renewal Terms”), unless the Company provides written notice to Employee not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal term of its intention not to renew, or unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated as provided herein.
   
 (d) Employee’s place of employment shall be based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Employee may also be required to engage in reasonable travel to other locations on Company business consistent with Employee’s position.
   
 3. Compensation.

 (b) Commencing on April 1, 2021, Employee shall be eligible to receive a performance-based cash bonus of up to one hundred percent (100%) of Employee’s base salary, based on Employee’s personal performance and the Company’s ability to achieve certain EBITDA and financial goals, each as determined by the Board (“Annual Bonus”). The Board shall have the sole discretion whether to make any such award. Employee shall only be entitled to receive any Annual Bonus payment if Employee remains an employee in good standing with the Company as of the date such Annual Bonus is payable.
  
 (c) The Company shall issue assignable cashless warrants to purchase 1,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company to Employee as a signing bonus.

Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the award of additional equity compensation is not guaranteed or promised in any way.
   
 4. Payment or Reimbursement of Expenses. Subject to compliance by Employee with such policies regarding expenses and expense reimbursements as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, Employee shall be paid or reimbursed for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement and in the furtherance of the business and affairs of the Company. Any such reimbursement shall be made within a reasonable period after presentation by Employee of an itemized account of such expenses, accompanied by appropriate receipts satisfactory to the Company. In no event shall any expense be paid or reimbursed, unless properly accounted for to the extent necessary to substantiate the Company’s federal income tax deduction under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder or any similar state or federal law or regulation.
   
 5. Additional Benefits.
   
 (a) Employee shall be eligible to participate in or receive benefits under any employee benefit plan or arrangement now or in the future made available by the Company generally to its executive employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Company’s right to change insurance carriers and to adopt, amend, terminate, or modify such plans and arrangements from time to time, provided that such changes apply to all Employee employees generally.
   
 (b) Employee shall be entitled to take 30 days of paid vacation during each 12-month period. No paid vacation may be carried forward from one 12-month period to another. The other terms and conditions of such vacation and all other forms of leave, including accrual rates and payout, shall be as set forth in the Company’s vacation and leave policies, as they may exist and be amended from time to time. Employee shall also be entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company in accordance with the Company’s regular paid holiday policy, as it may exist and be amended from time to time.
   
 6. Termination. This Agreement and the Company’s obligations hereunder shall terminate as provided in Section 2(c) unless terminated during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term pursuant to this Section 6 as follows:
   
 	 
	2
	

	 

 
  
 (a) In the event of the death or Total Disability of Employee, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the date of such death or Total Disability.
   
 (b) Employee may voluntarily resign his employment at any time upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice delivered to the Company. If such termination is within 6 months of the Effective Date, Employee shall return 50% of the warrants issued to Employee pursuant to Section 4(c) (or, if such warrants have been exercised, 50% of the shares issued upon exercise of such warrants) to the Company for cancellation.
    
 (c) The Company may terminate Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined in Exhibit A). Such termination shall be effective upon the delivery of written notice by the Company to Employee, specifying the grounds for termination for Cause, or at such later time as may be designated in such notice, and Employee shall vacate the offices of the Company on or before such effective date.
   
 7. Severance.
   
 (a) If the Company terminates Employee’s employment with the Company without Cause in accordance with Section 6(c) prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, the Company shall pay Employee a severance payment an amount equal to six months of Employee’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination, subject to subsections (c), (d), and (e).
   
 (b) If during the Term of this Agreement there is a CC Termination upon a Change in Control or within one year thereafter, then the Employee will be entitled to a severance payment (in addition to any other rights and other amounts payable to the Employee under Company plans in which Employee is a participant, but without duplication for any amounts due to Employee pursuant to Section 7(a)) payable in a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the Employee’s Base Salary in effect on date of such CC Termination (or, if greater, the highest Base Salary in effect during the three year period ending on the date of such CC Termination), and (ii) the Employee’s Average Annual Bonus, subject to subsections (c), (d) and (e).
   
 (c) Subject to Section 7(c), any severance payment payable to Employee pursuant to this Section 7 (a “Severance Payment”) will be made in a lump sum within sixty (60) days after the date Employee’s employment is terminated giving rise to such Severance Payment pursuant to Section 7(a) or (b); provided that Employee executes and delivers the release contemplated by Section 7(d) and such release becomes effective and irrevocable. If such sixty (60) day period spans two calendar years, the Severance Payment will be made in the second calendar year. However, if Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in regulations under Section 409A of the Code and the Severance Payment constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Severance Payment will be made on the Company’s first payroll payment date that is more than six (6) months the Severance Payment is otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement.
   
 (d) Employee acknowledges and agrees the Severance Payment to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 7 is conditioned upon and subject to the Employee’s executing and delivering the general release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B by the 45th day following the Employee’s separation from service and not revoking the release within the seven (7) days after executing and delivering the release. If such forty-five (45) day period plus the seven (7) day revocation period spans two calendar years, the Severance Payment will be paid in the second calendar year. Employee’s right to the Severance Payment is further conditioned upon Employee’s continued compliance with Sections 8-11 of this Agreement. If Employee breaches any of his obligations in Sections 8-11 of this Agreement, he will immediately return to the Company any portion of the Severance Payment that has been paid to him pursuant to Section 7.

 (i) Compete with the Company in the Business in any manner or capacity (e.g., through any form of ownership, lending relationship, or as an advisor, principal, investor, agent, partner, officer, director, manager, employee, employer, independent contractor, consultant, member of any association or otherwise, whether or not for compensation or gain) by working for, becoming employed by, engaging in, carrying on, or providing services to any business involving the Business;

 (iv) Solicit, induce or otherwise contact customers or suppliers of the Company for any purpose or manner detrimental to the Company.
   
 The parties agree that each of the foregoing prohibitions is intended to constitute a separate restriction.

 (b) Ownership by Employee, as a passive investment, in the aggregate of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding equity securities of any corporation or other entity listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on any nationally recognized over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of Section 8(a) of this Agreement.

 (b) Employee hereby agrees, while employed by the Company or at any time thereafter, to keep strictly confidential and not disclose, use, divulge, publish, or otherwise reveal, directly or through any other Person, any Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates, except as may be necessary for Employee to perform his duties and obligations in conjunction with his employment with the Company. Employee further agrees that, upon expiration or termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, Employee will not, without the prior written consent of the Company’s Board, take any Confidential Information of the Company or its Affiliates.
   
 (c) All written or electronic materials, records and documents made by Employee or in the possession of Employee during his employment with the Company concerning the business or affairs of the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise containing Confidential Information, or other items or property held by or for Employee, but owned or used by the Company or its Affiliates, shall be the sole property of the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, and, upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company or upon the request of the Company or any of its Affiliates, Employee shall promptly deliver all of such materials, records, documents or other items of property that are then in his possession.

Employee forever and irrevocably assigns to Company, without any reservation for royalties or other reservations, and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, any Discovered IP Rights. Employee shall disclose promptly to the Company or its nominee any and all Discovered IP. Without in any way limiting the Company’s rights or Employee’s obligations under the foregoing, to the extent that a work may be deemed a “work made for hire”, Employee and the Company agree that such work (regardless of whether such work is created or authored solely by Employee or is created or authored jointly with, or with the assistance, participation or involvement of one or more other Persons) shall be a “work made for hire” and Employee hereby assigns to the Company, without any reservation for royalties or other reservations, and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, the entire present and future right, title, claim and interest in and to all Intellectual Property Rights to such work.

Whenever requested to do so by the Company, Employee shall execute, without further compensation to Employee, but at the expense of the Company, any and all applications, assignments, oaths, certifications, declarations, statements, affidavits or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to grant to, vest in or perfect for the Company or its nominee the right, title, claim and interest in and to the Discovered IP Rights to enable the Company or its nominee to apply for, obtain, procure, register, maintain, renew, defend and enforce Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Discovered IP, whether in the United States, Canada or any foreign country, or to otherwise protect Company’s or its nominee’s interest therein. These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of employment and shall be binding upon Employee’s assigns, executors, administrators, heirs and other legal representatives. Employee represents and warrants, and, throughout Employee’s employment with the Company, continues to represent and warrant, that Employee has not heretofore assigned, licensed or granted any right, title, claim or interest in and to the Discovered IP Rights to any other Person or entered into any agreement, commitment or undertaking in conflict with this Agreement; and that Employee shall never assign, license, or grant any right, title, claim or interest of any kind to the Discovered IP Rights or enter into any agreement, commitment or undertaking in conflict with this Agreement save and except as expressly authorized by the Company in writing. Without limiting the Company’s rights or Employee’s obligations under the foregoing, whenever requested to do so by the Company, Employee shall, without further compensation to Employee, but at the expense of the Company, do the following with respect to, for, arising out of or related to any of the Discovered IP Rights: (1) cooperate with the Company in the filing, application, procurement, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of each and every domestic or foreign patent application or application for invention or industrial rights (including, without limitation, each and every provisional, original, divisional, continuation or continuation in part patent application); patent or invention certificate (including, without limitation, any proceedings for the reissue, reexamination, renewal or extension of a patent); interference proceeding, opposition or cancellation proceeding, priority contest or public use proceedings; trade secret, trade dress, trademark or other right or benefit; (2) appear before or assist in preparations for any and all hearings, depositions or other proceedings related to any of the foregoing; and, (3) take such further actions as reasonably requested by the Company so that the Company enjoys the full extent of the assignment granted under, or other rights arising under, this Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that Employee shall never disclose to the Company, or use for the benefit of the Company, any trade secrets or other confidential information learned or obtained from Employee’s previous employers or other Persons if such disclosure or use would violate the trade secret rights or other rights of such previous employers or other Persons.
   
 (c) Employee’s Indemnification of Company. Employee shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company and its Affiliates, and each of the foregoing’s directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees and agents, harmless from any and all claims, demands, suits, causes of action, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), liabilities, losses, costs, expenses and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fee and investigatory fees) for or arising out of or from Employee’s breach, misrepresentation or otherwise failure to fully perform, satisfy, comply and observe all of Employee’s agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, commitments, obligations or other undertakings arising under this Section 11.
   
 (d) Employee’s Assignment of Prior Rights. Employee hereby assigns to the Company any and all Intellectual Property and/or Intellectual Property Rights related to the operations of the Company that may have inured to Employee’s benefit prior to the Effective Date.
   
 12. Non-Disparagement. During his employment and following termination of his employment, whatever the cause, Employee agrees not to disparage, and to cause Employee’s Affiliates not to disparage, either orally or in writing, any of the Company or its Affiliates or the foregoing Persons’ business, products, services or practices, or any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, agents, representatives, stockholders, partners, members, employees, or managers.
   
 	 
	6
	

	 

 
  
 13. Reasonable Limits. Employee acknowledges that the agreement of the Employee not to engage in the activities prohibited herein for the period of time and in the areas agreed upon herein is a substantial consideration for his employment with the Company. Employee hereby acknowledges that the above covenants are manifestly reasonable on their face and expressly agrees that they are also reasonable as to time and territorial scope and otherwise and that same are no greater than is required for the protection of the respective interests of the parties.
   
 14. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company and Employee intend that any amounts or benefits payable or provided under this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject Employee to the payment of the tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax (including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A) from the Employee to the Company or to any other individual or entity. Any payment to the Employee that is subject to Section 409A and that is contingent on a termination of employment is contingent on a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Each payment shall be considered to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. In furtherance thereof, to the extent that any provision hereof would otherwise result in Employee being subject to payment of tax, interest and tax penalty under Section 409A, the Company and Employee agree to amend this Agreement in a manner that brings this Agreement into compliance with Section 409A and preserve to the maximum extent possible the economic value of the relevant payment or benefit under this Agreement to Employee. Any taxable reimbursement shall be paid no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense is incurred and shall comply with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
   
 15. No Violation of Third Party Rights. Employee hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that Employee: (a) shall not, during his employment with the Company, infringe upon or violate any proprietary rights of any third party (including, without limitation, any third party confidential relationships, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights); (b) is not a party to any agreement with a third party that prevents him from fulfilling the terms of employment and the obligations of this Agreement or which would be breached as a result of Employee’s execution of this Agreement or performance of his employment duties; and (c) agrees to respect any and all valid obligations which Employee may now have to prior employers or to others relating to confidential information, inventions or discoveries which are the property of those prior employers or others, as the case may be.
   
 16. Resignation from All Positions. Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned, as of the date of such termination, from all positions he then holds as an officer, director, employee and member of the Board (and any committee thereof) and the boards of all of its subsidiaries.
   
 17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by nationally recognized overnight courier, or mailed by United States certified mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid, or sent by electronic mail addressed as follows:

 20. Waiver. No waiver of any obligation, right or remedy under this Agreement shall be effective, unless such waiver is made in writing, specifying the terms of this Agreement.

 21. Integration and Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.

 22. Severability. If any provision, paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement is adjudged by any court to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such an adjudication shall not be deemed to affect the validity of the remainder of the Agreement, and all other provisions, sections and subsections of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision, section or subsection and each constitutes a separate and distinct covenant.
   
 23. Court Modification for Enforcement. In the event a court determines that any provisions of this Agreement are overbroad, excessive or unenforceable in any respect including but not limited to the Restricted Period, the Restricted Area, or the nature of the restrictions, then in such an event the parties agree that the court shall be permitted to modify this Agreement in order to make the restrictions more narrow and to make this Agreement enforceable in order to provide each party with the maximum restriction or restrictions allowed by law.
   
 24. Reimbursement for Expenses. If litigation or other action is commenced between the parties concerning any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in the action will be entitled, in addition to any other award that may be made, to recover all court costs or other official costs and all reasonable expenses associated with the action, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
   
 25. Survival of Certain Provisions. The rights and obligations of Employee and Company under Sections 7-12 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.2 
   
 THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO ENTER COMPANY NAME HERE THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 GOOD HEMP, INC. 
  
 COMMON STOCK WARRANT
  
 THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Ken Morgan and its permitted transferees hereunder (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Good Hemp, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), 1,000,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Warrant Price”) subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof, at any time or from time to time during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on December 31, 2021.
  
 SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.
  
 (a) General. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder as to the whole or any lesser number of the Warrant Shares covered hereby, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal executive office together with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed by the Holder, and payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares to be purchased in the form of (i) a check made payable to the Company, (ii) wire transfer according to the Company’s instructions or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii). 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 1. 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.
   
 	 
	Page 1 of 8
	

	 

 
  
 (b) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 1, the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per Warrant Share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the OTC Link or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, for the five trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value.
    
 SECTION 2. Adjustment of Warrant Price. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is (i) increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split of shares of such class of Common Stock, or (ii) decreased by a combination or reverse split of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the benefits of such stock dividend, subdivision, split-up, reverse split-up or combination, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately reduced, in the case of an increase in shares of Common Stock outstanding, or proportionately increased, in the case of a decrease in shares of Common Stock outstanding, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
  
 SECTION 3. Adjustment of Warrant Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as provided in Section 2, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to subscribe for and purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares existing prior to such adjustment and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Warrant Price existing prior to such adjustment by (B) the new Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment. No fractional shares of capital stock of the Company shall be issued as a result of any such adjustment, and any fractional shares resulting from the computations pursuant to this paragraph shall be eliminated without consideration.
  
 SECTION 4. No Shareholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
  
 SECTION 5. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved or shall authorize and reserve, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
  
 SECTION 6. Investment Representations and Warranties. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
   
 	 
	Page 2 of 8
	

	 

 
     
 (a) The Holder is acquiring the Warrant, and it will acquire the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing the same. The Holder understands that the Warrant and Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, will not be registered under the Act or registered or qualified under any state securities or “blue-sky” laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements thereof, and that they must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or is exempt from registration and/or qualification.
   
 (b) The Holder understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may only afford the basis for sales under certain circumstances only in limited amounts.
  
 (c) The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Company and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.
   
 (d) The Holder is an “accredited purchaser” as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.
    
 SECTION 7. Restrictions on Transfer. The Holder of this Warrant by acceptance hereof agrees that the transfer of this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to the following provisions:
  
 (a) General. Subject to the requirements of the Act or any applicable state securities laws, the Holder may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares acquired upon any exercise hereof at any time and from time to time. Upon the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Warrants, Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice of such in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by Holder, which includes the identity and address of any purchaser, assignor or transferee.
    
 (b) Restrictive Legend. Each certificate for Warrant Shares held by the Holder and each certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:
   
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY RELEVANT STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS”.
   
 	 
	Page 3 of 8
	

	 

 
   
 (c) Indemnification. Holder acknowledges that he, she or it understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and acknowledgments he, she or it has made in Section 7 and elsewhere in this Warrant and he, she or it understands that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy thereof. Accordingly, the Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, agents and representatives, from and against any and all loss, damage or liability due to or arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty of Holder contained in this Warrant.
   
 SECTION 8. Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Warrant may not be modified or amended, except with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
  
 SECTION 9. Reorganizations, Etc. In case, at any time during the Exercise Period, of any capital reorganization, of any reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing operation and which does not result in any change or reclassification in the Warrant Shares) or of the sale of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety to any other corporation, the Company, at its sole discretion, shall have the right and option to (A) provide 10 days prior written notice of such event to the Holder and this Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on and after the effective date of such capital reorganization or reclassification or the consummation of such consolidation, sale or merger; or (B) provide that this Warrant shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such properties and assets shall have been sold to which such holder would have been entitled if he, she or it had held the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale.
  
 SECTION 10. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
  
 SECTION 11. Notices. All notices, advices and communications to be given or otherwise made to any party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered in person or by telecopier or duly sent by first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, or by electronic mail, with a copy thereof to be sent by mail (as aforesaid) within 24 hours of such electronic mail, addressed to such party at the address set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the addressee to the addresser listing all parties:
