CODESMART HOLDINGS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

1.           Issuance. In consideration of good and valuable consideration as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (defined below), including without limitation the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by CodeSmart Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”); Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, its successors and/or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time on or after the Issue Date (as defined below) until the date which is the last calendar day of the month in which the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”), a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to 187,500 shares, as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (this “Warrant”).  This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2013, to which the Company and the Holder are parties (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

This Warrant was originally issued to the Holder on December 17, 2013 (the “Issue Date”).

 

2.           Exercise of Warrant.

 

2.1.           General.

 

(a)           This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by delivery to the Company or by email or facsimile transmission) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). The date such Notice of Exercise is either faxed, emailed or delivered to the Company shall be the “Exercise Date,” provided that, if such exercise represents the full exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder shall tender this Warrant to the Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter, but only if the Warrant Shares to be delivered pursuant to the Notice of Exercise have been delivered to the Holder as of such date.  The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder and shall indicate (i) the number of Delivery Shares (as defined below) to be issued pursuant to such exercise, and (ii) if applicable (as provided below), whether the exercise is a cashless exercise.

 

  

1

  

 

For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Trading Day” means any day during which the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded (the “Principal Market”) shall be open for business.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Transaction Document  to the contrary, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Holder may elect a “cashless” exercise of this Warrant for any Warrant Shares whereby the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the excess of the Current Market Value (as defined below) over the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercise Shares (as defined below), divided by (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock (as defined below).

 

For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Current Market Value” shall mean an amount equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock (as defined below), multiplied by the number of Exercise Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise.

 

“Closing Price” shall mean the 4:00 P.M. last sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as reported by Bloomberg LP (or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company) (“Bloomberg”) for the relevant date.

 

“Delivery Shares” means those shares of Common Stock issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

“Exercise Price” shall mean $1.20 per share of Common Stock, as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

 

“Exercise Shares” shall mean those Warrant Shares subject to an exercise of the Warrant by the Holder.  By way of illustration only and without limiting the foregoing, if (i) the Warrant is initially exercisable for 4,180,000 Warrant Shares and the Holder has not previously exercised the Warrant, and (ii) the Holder were to make a cashless exercise with respect to 5,000 Warrant Shares pursuant to which 6,000 Delivery Shares would be issuable to the Holder, then (1) the Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised with respect to 5,000 Exercise Shares, (2) the Warrant would remain exercisable for 4,175,000 Warrant Shares, and (3) the Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised with respect to 6,000 Delivery Shares.

 

“Market Price of the Common Stock” shall mean the higher of: (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Issue Date; and (ii) the VWAP (as defined below) of the Common Stock for the Trading Day that is two (2) Trading Days prior to the Exercise Date.

 

“Note” shall mean that certain Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, and including any promissory note(s) that replace or are exchanged for such referenced promissory note.

 

“Transaction Documents” or “Transaction Document” shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

  

2

  

 

“VWAP” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for a particular Trading Day or set of Trading Days, as the case may be, as reported by Bloomberg.

 

(c)           If the Notice of Exercise form elects a “cash” exercise (or if the cashless exercise referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (b) is not available in accordance with the terms hereof), the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the Delivery Shares shall be payable, at the election of the Holder, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by the Company at the request of the Holder.

 

(d)           Upon the appropriate payment to the Company, if any, of the Exercise Price for the Delivery Shares, together with the surrender of this Warrant (if required), the Company shall promptly, but in no case later than the date that is five (5) Trading Days following the date the Exercise Price is paid to the Company (or with respect to a “cashless exercise,” the date that is five (5) Trading Days following the Exercise Date), provided that the Common Stock is then DTC Eligible (as defined in the Note), deliver or cause the Company’s Transfer Agent (as defined in the Note) to deliver to Holder or its broker (as designated in the Notice of Exercise), via reputable overnight courier, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing DTC Eligible Common Stock equal to the applicable number of Delivery Shares.  If the Common Stock is not DTC Eligible at such time, such shall constitute a breach of this Warrant (and thus an Event of Default under the Note), and the Company shall instead, on or before the applicable date set forth above in this subsection, issue and deliver to the Holder or its broker (as designated in the Notice of Exercise), via reputable overnight courier, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing the applicable number of Delivery Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not met its obligation to deliver Delivery Shares within the required timeframe set forth above unless Holder or its broker, as applicable, has actually received the certificate representing the applicable Delivery Shares no later than the close of business on the latest possible delivery date pursuant to the terms set forth above.

 

(e)           If Delivery Shares are delivered later than as required under subsection (d) immediately above, the Company agrees to pay any late charges incurred under the Transaction Documents in immediately available funds upon demand; provided, however, that, at the option of the Holder (without notice to the Company), such amount owed may be added to the principal amount of the Note.  Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Delivery Shares as required under subsection (d) immediately above, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the late charge described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

 

(f)           The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the Delivery Shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date.

2.2.           Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time the Holder shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause the Holder (together with its Affiliates) to own a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”), the Company must not issue to the Holder shares of the Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage. The shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are referred to herein as the "Ownership Limitation Shares". The Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of the Holder. From time to time, the Holder may notify the Company in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to the Holder without causing the Holder to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to the Holder, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the term “4.99%” above shall be replaced with “9.99%” at such time as the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock is less than $10,000,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the term “4.99%” is replaced with “9.99%” pursuant to the preceding sentence, such change to “9.99%” shall be permanent. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Market Capitalization of the Common Stock” shall mean the product equal to (A) the average VWAP (as defined in the Note) of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding fifteen (15) Trading Days, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported on the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Holder.

 

3.           Mutilation or Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

 

4.           Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of this Warrant alone, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder with respect to or arising under this Warrant are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

5.           Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.

 

5.1.           Capital Adjustments.  If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, Conversion Price (in the event of a cashless exercise), and other applicable amounts, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

5.2.           Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per Warrant Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

 

  

4

  

 

5.3.           Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time and from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any Common Stock (including any Common Stock issued under the Note, whether upon any type of conversion or any Deemed Issuance (as defined in the Note)), preferred shares convertible into Common Stock, or debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (together herein referred to as “Equity Securities”), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuance collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options, or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and (b) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares the Holder could purchase hereunder for an aggregate Exercise Price, as reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above, equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable immediately prior to such reduction in Exercise Price.  Such adjustments shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Equity Securities are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Equity Securities subject to this Section 5.3, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, or other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5.3, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive the increased number of Warrant Shares provided for in subsection (b) above at an Exercise Price equal to the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.  Additionally, following the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance, all references in this Warrant to “Warrant Shares” shall be a reference to the Warrant Shares as increased pursuant to subsection (b) above, and all references in this Warrant to “Exercise Price” shall be a reference to the Exercise Price as reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above, as the same may occur from time to time hereunder.

 

5.4.           Notice of Adjustment. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, when any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  

5

  

 

5.5.           Exceptions to Adjustment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.4, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be effected as a result of an Excepted Issuance.  “Excepted Issuances” shall mean, collectively, (a) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as any such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (b) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grant of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, officers and consultants, authorized by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to plans or agreements which are authorized, constituted or in effect as of the Issue Date, (c) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with its existing agreements or as a result of the conversion or exercise of the existing securities and (d) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with the Transaction Documents (except for the Deemed Issuances as defined in the Note).

 

6.           Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any Warrant Agent (as defined below) appointed pursuant to Section 8 hereof.  Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit any other provision contained herein.

 

7.           Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, have not been registered under the 1933 Act. None of the Warrant Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated without (a) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or (b) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not apply to the transfer of any security to an affiliate of the Holder. Until such time as registration has occurred under the 1933 Act, each certificate for this Warrant and any Warrant Shares shall contain a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 7; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges and agrees that any such legend shall be removed from all certificates for DTC Eligible Common Stock delivered hereunder as such Common Stock is cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC (as defined in the Note) if the Holder has provided an Opinion Letter as defined under the Agreement or an effective Registration Statement which provide the resale of such Warrant Shares, and nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to the contrary. Any such transfer shall be accompanied by a transferor assignment substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B (the “Transferor Assignment”), executed by the transferor and the transferee and submitted to the Company. Upon receipt of the duly executed Transferor Assignment, the Company shall register the transferee thereon as the new Holder on the books and records of the Company and such transferee shall be deemed a “registered holder” or “registered assign” for all purposes hereunder, and shall have all the rights of the Holder.

 

8.           Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant hereto, exchanging this Warrant pursuant hereto, and replacing this Warrant pursuant hereto, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.

 

  

6

  

 

9.             Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

10.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the subsection titled “Notices” in the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

11.           Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement.  This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Warrant, together with the Purchase Agreement and all the other Transaction Documents, taken together, contain the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof other than as expressly contained herein and therein.

 

12.           Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably (a) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Cook County, Illinois in connection with any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of any such dispute or proceeding may only be heard and determined in any such court, (c) expressly submits to the venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, and (d) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by reputable overnight courier (e.g., FedEx) or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party’s address as provided for herein, such service to become effective ten (10) calendar days after such mailing. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

13.           Remedies.  The remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and, without limiting any other remedies available to the Holder in the Transaction Documents, law or equity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

 

14.           Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature delivered via facsimile or email shall be considered original signatures for purposes hereof.

 

  

7

  

 

15.           Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of any litigation or dispute arising from this Warrant, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by said prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses.  Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

 

16.           Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Warrant or the validity or enforceability of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.

 

17.           Time of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence of each and every provision of this Warrant.

 

18.           Descriptive Headings.  Descriptive headings of the sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Exhibit 10.1

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

This Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2013 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between CodeSmart Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, its successors and/or assigns (“Buyer”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.

(iv)         cause to be executed and delivered to the Buyer a fully executed share issuance resolution to be delivered to the Transfer Agent substantially in the form attached hereto as ANNEX VI (the “Share Issuance Resolution”).

 

(c)           At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price and the duly executed copy of this Agreement.

 

2.2.           Form of Payment; Delivery of Securities.  The purchase and sale of the Securities shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of the Buyer on the Closing Date.  At the Closing, the Company will deliver the Transaction Documents to the Buyer against delivery by the Buyer to the Company of the Purchase Price.

 

2.3.           Purchase Price. The Note carries an original issue discount of $20,000.00 (the “OID”).  In addition, the Company agrees to pay $5,000.00 to the Buyer to cover the Buyer’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Note. The Purchase Price, therefore, shall be $200,000.00, computed as follows: $225,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.

3.           BUYER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Buyer represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 

3.1.           Binding Obligation. The Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Buyer.  This Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Buyer, and this Agreement is, and each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, when executed and delivered by the Buyer (if necessary), will be valid and binding obligations of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability only to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

 

3.2.           Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D.

 

4.           COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

4.2.           Status.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.  The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The Common Stock is quoted on the Principal Trading Market.  The Company has received no notice, either oral or written, with respect to the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for quotation on the Principal Trading Market, and the Company has maintained all requirements on its part for the continuation of such quotation. The Company has not, since May 9, 2013, received notice from the Principal Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Principal Trading Market.

Of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, approximately 8,570,500 shares are beneficially owned by Affiliates of the Company. Of the authorized shares of Common Stock that are not currently outstanding, approximately 3,939,964 of such shares are reserved.

(c)           All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. After considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of Common Stock, the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to effect the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date, including assuming: (i) the Note issued and fully converted on that date and (ii) the Warrant issued and fully exercised on that date.

 

(d)           The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company as of or prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and, when issued on conversion of, or in payment of interest on the Note in accordance with the terms thereof, or upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms thereof, as applicable, will have been duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description.

 

(e)           Upon issuance to the Buyer, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will be enforceable against the Company and the Company presently has no claims or defenses of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares.

 

4.4.           Transaction Documents and Stock. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement is, and the Note, the Warrant, and each of the other Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability only to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

 

4.5.           Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, and the other Transaction Documents do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, (b) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (c) to the Company’s knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Company’s properties or assets, except such conflict, breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.6.           Approvals.

None of the Company’s SEC Documents contained, at the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the 1934 Act on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such report, schedule, form, statement or other document prior to the expiration of any such extension.  As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (a) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (b) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).  No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer which is not included in the Company’s SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.

 

4.8.           Absence of Certain Changes.  Since the Last Audited Date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. Since the Last Audited Date, the Company has not (a) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (b) discharged or satisfied any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability (absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (c) declared or made any payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with respect to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made any agreements to purchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (d) sold, assigned or transferred any other material tangible assets, or canceled any material debts owed to the Company by any third party or material claims of the Company against any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (e) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (f) made any increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (g) experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their employment.

 

4.9.           Full Disclosure.  There is no fact known to the Company or that the Company should know after having made all reasonable inquiries (other than conditions known to the public generally or as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents since the Last Audited Date) that has not been disclosed in writing to the Buyer that would reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.10.         Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any governmental authority or non-governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction Documents.  The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transactions contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has no liabilities or obligations other than those disclosed in the Transaction Documents or the Company’s most recently filed SEC Documents (Form 10-K or 10-Q) or those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since the Last Audited Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable laws, rules or regulations, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.  There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company which proposal would (a) change the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock, or (b) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the Company, including its interests in Subsidiaries.

 

4.14.           No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offer or sale of any security of the Company or solicited any offer to buy any such security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.

 

4.15.           Dilution.  Each of the Company and its executive officers and directors is aware that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the execution of this Agreement, the conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant, or pursuant to the other terms of the Transaction Documents may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders) of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligations to issue (a) the Conversion Shares upon a conversion of the Note, and (b) the Warrant Shares upon an exercise of the Warrant, are binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuances may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will honor such obligations, including honoring every Conversion Notice and Notice of Exercise, unless the Company is subject to an injunction (which injunction was not sought by the Company or any of its directors or executive officers) prohibiting the Company from doing so.

 

4.16.           Fees to Brokers, Placement Agents and Others. With respect to any brokerage commissions, placement agent or finder’s fees or similar payments that will or would become due and owing by the Company to any Person as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Broker Fees”), any such Broker Fees will be made in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and only to a Person that is a registered investment adviser or registered broker-dealer. The Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to any such Broker Fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this subsection that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer, the Buyer’s employees, officers, directors, stockholders, managers, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing Broker Fees.

All information relating to or concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries set forth in the Transaction Documents or in the Company’s SEC Documents or other public filings provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which under applicable laws, rules or regulations, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company or any such Subsidiary.

 

4.18.           Confirmation.  The Company agrees that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances exist prior to the payment of the Purchase Price by the Buyer to the Company which would make any of the Company’s representations or warranties set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer in writing prior to such date of such events or circumstances, specifying which representations or warranties are affected and the reasons therefor.

 

4.19.           Title. The Company and the Subsidiaries, if applicable, own and have good and marketable title in fee simple absolute to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective real properties and good title to their other respective assets and properties, subject to no liens, claims or encumbrances except as have been disclosed to the Buyer.

Except for agreements with its own employees or consultants, standard end-user license agreements, support/maintenance agreements and agreements entered in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, all of which have been made available for review by the Buyer, there are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property of the Company, and the Company is not bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity.

The Company is not obligated to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner or licensor of or claimant to any Intellectual Property with respect to the use thereof in connection with the present conduct of its business other than in the ordinary course of its business.  There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound which involve indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of Intellectual Property, other than in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(b)           No Breach by Employees.  The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with the use of his or her efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated.

5.1.           Covenants and Acknowledgements of the Buyer.

 

(a)           Transfer Restrictions.  The Buyer acknowledges that (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act and, except as included in an effective Registration Statement, the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of such Rule and further, if such Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

(b)           Restrictive Legend.  The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, until such time as the relevant Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act, and may be sold in accordance with an effective Registration Statement, or until such Securities can otherwise be sold without restriction, whichever is earlier, the certificates and other instruments representing any of the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of any such Securities):

(c)           Trading Activities.  During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that the Buyer no longer owns any of the Securities, the Buyer will not directly or through an Affiliate engage in any open market Short Sales (as defined below) of the Common Stock; provided; however, that unless and until the Company has affirmatively demonstrated by the use of specific evidence that the Buyer is engaging in open market Short Sales, the Buyer shall be assumed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section and the Company shall remain fully obligated to fulfill all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents; and provided, further, that (i) the Company shall under no circumstances be entitled to request or demand that the Buyer either (A) provide trading or other records of the Buyer or of any party or (B) affirmatively demonstrate that the Buyer or any other party has not engaged in any such Short Sales in breach of these provisions as a condition to the Company’s fulfillment of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) the Company shall not assert the Buyer’s or any other party’s failure to demonstrate such absence of such Short Sales or provide any trading or other records of the Buyer or any other party as all or part of a defense to any breach of the Company’s obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, and (iii) the Company shall have no setoff right with respect to any such Short Sales.  As used herein, “Short Sale” has the meaning provided in Rule 3b-3 under the 1934 Act.

 

5.2.           Covenants, Acknowledgements and Agreements of the Company. As a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, and as a material inducement for the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full (or otherwise expired), or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, the Company shall comply with the following covenants:

 

(a)           Filings.  From the date hereof until the date that is six (6) months after all the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares either have been sold by the Buyer, or may permanently be sold by the Buyer without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall timely make all filings required to be made by it under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, Rule 144 or any United States state securities laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company or by the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, and such filings shall conform to the requirements of applicable laws, regulations and government agencies, and, unless such filings are publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system (via the SEC’s web site at no additional charge), the Company shall provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filings. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. Additionally, within four (4) Trading Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a current report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and approved by the Buyer and attaching the material Transaction Documents as exhibits to such filing. The Company shall further redact all confidential information from such Form 8-K. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the Buyer, so long as the Buyer owns any Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyer to sell such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

(b)           Reporting Status.  So long as the Buyer beneficially owns Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days thereafter, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and shall take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

 

  

12

  

 

(c)           Listing.  The Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of the Principal Market. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Trading Market and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or any successor thereto, as the case may be, applicable to it at least through the date which is sixty (60) calendar days after the later of (I) the date on which the Note has been converted or paid in full, and (II) the date on which the Warrant has been exercised in full (or the date on which the Warrant has expired).

 

(d)           Anti-Dilution Certification.  For so long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer, within three (3) Trading Days of a written request by the Buyer, a certificate in the form attached hereto as ANNEX VII (“Anti-Dilution Certificate”) whereby the Company shall notify the Buyer of a Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Note) or any other event(s) that occurred since the later of the Closing Date or the delivery of the most recent Anti-Dilution Certificate that triggers anti-dilution protection or other adjustments to the applicable Conversion Price or Exercise Price (each an “Anti-Dilution Event”), or, if no Anti-Dilution Event occurred, certifying to the Buyer that no Anti-Dilution Event occurred since the Closing Date that has not been disclosed on a previous Anti-Dilution Certificate.

 

(e)           Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds received hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes only; provided, however, the Company will not use such proceeds to pay fees payable (i) to any broker or finder relating to the offer and sale of the Note and/or the Warrant unless the payment of such fee is made in accordance with Section 4.16 hereof, or (ii) to any other party relating to any financing transaction effected prior to the Closing Date, unless such broker, finder, or other party is a registered investment adviser or registered broker-dealer and such fees are paid in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

 

(f)           Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc.  The Company will redact the name of the Buyer (or otherwise not disclose the name of the Buyer) in any filing made with the SEC, in any press releases, or in any other disclosures of information about the transactions contemplated hereby unless otherwise required by law.

(h)           Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and such Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

 

  

13

  

 

(i)           Corporate Existence.  The Company shall (i) do all things necessary to remain duly qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary; (ii) preserve and keep in full force and effect all licenses or similar qualifications required by it to engage in its business in all jurisdictions in which it is at the time so engaged; (iii) continue to engage in business of the same general type as conducted as of the date hereof; and (iv) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

 

(j)           Taxes.  The Company shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property before the same shall become delinquent or in default, which, if unpaid, might reasonably be expected to give rise to liens or charges upon such properties or any part thereof, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Company has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

 

(k)           Compliance. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations and requirements (collectively, “Requirements”) of all governmental bodies, insurers, departments, commissions, boards, courts, authorities, officials or officers which are applicable to the Company, its business, operations, or any of its properties, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing provided herein shall prevent the Company from contesting in good faith the validity or the application of any Requirements.

 

(l)           Litigation. From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full (or otherwise expired), the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing, promptly upon learning thereof, of any litigation or administrative proceeding commenced or threatened against the Company involving a claim in excess of $100,000.00.

 

(m)          Performance of Obligations.  The Company shall promptly and in a timely fashion perform and honor all demands, notices, requests and obligations that exist or may arise under the Transaction Documents.

 

(n)           Reserved.

 

(o)           Share Reserve. In order to allow for, as of the relevant date of determination, the conversion of the entire Outstanding Balance into Common Stock and the delivery of Warrant Shares necessary for a complete exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall take all action necessary from time to time to reserve for the benefit of the Holder the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the amount calculated as follows (such calculated amount is referred to as the “Share Reserve”): (i) three times the higher of (A) the Outstanding Balance divided by the Conversion Price, and (B) the Outstanding Balance divided by the Market Price, plus (ii) three times the number of Delivery Shares that would be required to be delivered to the Holder in order to effect a complete exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof. If at any time the Share Reserve is less than required herein, the Company shall immediately increase the Share Reserve in an amount equal to no less than the deficiency. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall cause to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company’s management shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional shares of Common Stock to be authorized so as to comply with the requirements of this subsection. All calculations with respect to determining the Share Reserve shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant.

 

  

14

  

 

(p)           DTC Eligibility. For so long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding, or any portion of the Warrant remains unexercised, the Company shall cause its Common Stock to be and remain DTC Eligible.  In the event the Common Stock is not DTC Eligible at the time of any conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, or the Company delivers non-DTC Eligible Shares to the Buyer pursuant to a conversion of all or any portion of the Note under Section 3 of the Note (except any of such Shares that are not  Free Trading solely and exclusively due to any reason on the part of the Holder), then in addition to any other available remedies, the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall automatically increase by an amount equal to the decline in Value (as defined below) of the applicable Shares, if any, between the Delivery Date for such Shares and the date that such Shares become Free Trading (as defined in the Note), without the need for any additional action or notice by Buyer or any other party.  The Company agrees to use it best efforts to cause such shares to become Free Trading.  “Value”, as used in this Section, shall mean the five (5) Trading Day trailing average VWAP (as defined in the Note) for the Shares.

 

(q)           Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not directly or indirectly engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company on the date of this Agreement or any business substantially related or incidental thereto. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, modify its or their corporate structure or purpose if such modification may have a material adverse effect on any rights of, or benefits to, the Holder under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(r)           Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business, in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

 

(s)           Reserved.

 

(t)           Restriction on Redemption. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem or repurchase its capital stock without the prior express written consent of the Holder.

 

(u)          Restriction on Transfer of Assets. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or rights of the Company or any Subsidiary owned or hereafter acquired, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, other than (i) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or rights supported by fair market value consideration as determined in the reasonable discretion of the board of directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (ii) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or rights in the ordinary course of business.

 

(v)          Reserved.

 

(w)          Reserved.

(x)           Transactions with Affiliates.

(y)           Certain Negative Covenants of the Company.  From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full, the Company shall not the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company or of its Subsidiaries.

(bb)         Transfer Agent Reserve.  From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full (or otherwise expired):

 

(i)           the Company shall at all times require its Transfer Agent to establish a reserve of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock in an amount not less than the Share Reserve or such other amount as the Holder may authorize from time to time in writing (the “Transfer Agent Reserve”);

 

(ii)          the Company shall require its Transfer Agent to hold the Transfer Agent Reserve for the exclusive benefit of the Holder and shall authorize the Transfer Agent to issue the shares of Common Stock held in the Transfer Agent Reserve to the Holder only (subject to subsection (iii) immediately below);

 

(iii)         the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that when the Transfer Agent issues shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Transfer Agent will not issue such shares from the Transfer Agent Reserve, unless such issuance is pre-approved in writing by the Holder;

 

(iv)         the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that it will not reduce the Transfer Agent Reserve under any circumstances, unless such reduction is pre-approved in writing by the Holder;

 

  

16

  

 

(v)          upon Holder’s written request, but no less frequently than at the end of each calendar quarter, the Company shall increase (or decrease if authorized by Holder in writing) the Transfer Agent Reserve as of such time to equal the Share Reserve (each a “Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation”), and if additional shares of Common Stock are required to be added to the Transfer Agent Reserve pursuant to subsection (i) above, the Company shall immediately give written instructions to the Transfer Agent to cause the Transfer Agent to set aside and increase the Transfer Agent Reserve by the necessary number of shares in increments of 10,000 shares of Common Stock; and

 

(vi)         within three (3) Trading Days of a written request from the Buyer, the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder (A) the correctness of the Company’s Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation and (B) that either (1) the Company has instructed the Transfer Agent to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve in accordance with the terms hereof, or (2) there was no need to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve, in either case consistent with the Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation. If the Company has not instructed the Transfer Agent to so increase the Transfer Agent Reserve, then Holder is hereby authorized to send such written request to the Transfer Agent.

 

For the avoidance of any doubt, the requirements of this Section 5.2 are material to this Agreement and any violation or breach thereof by the Company shall constitute a default under this Agreement.

 

6.           TRANSFER AGENT.

 

6.1.           Instructions. The Company covenants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 5.1(a) hereof, the Company will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with the Transfer Agent Letter. Except as required by Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent Letter and applicable laws and regulations, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Nothing in this subsection shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.  If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (i)(B) of Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while an applicable Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (ii) of Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as may be applicable, use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to promptly deliver to the Holder or the Holder’s broker, as applicable, such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares by way of certificates representing DTC Eligible Common Stock.

 

6.2.           DTC Eligible. The Company specifically covenants that, as of the Closing Date, the Common Stock shall be DTC Eligible.  If at any time that the Company receives a Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise and the Common Stock is not then DTC Eligible, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to immediately issue one or more certificates for non-DTC Eligible Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holder consistent with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

 

6.3.           Transfer Fees. The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company Counsel regarding (a) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities, and (b) the issuance of certificates to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective Registration Statement.

 

  

17

  

 

7.           DELIVERY OF SHARES.

 

7.1.           Delay in Issuing Shares. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of Conversion Shares, whether on conversion of all or any portion of the Note and/or in payment of accrued interest, or a delay in the delivery of Warrant Shares, whether on exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant, beyond the relevant Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies in the Transaction Documents, the Company shall pay late payments to the Holder for late delivery of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares in accordance with the following schedule (where, for purposes of this subsection, “No. Trading Days Late” is defined as the number of Trading Days beyond five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Delivery Date):

 

	  	 	
Late Payment for Each $10,000.00

	 	 	
of Principal or Interest Being Converted under the Note

	

No. Trading Days Late

	 	
or Aggregate Exercise Price under the Warrant

$1,000.00

	 	
>10

	 	  $1,000.00 + $200.00 for each Trading Day Late beyond 10

As elected by the Holder, the amount of any payments incurred under this Section 7.1 shall either be automatically added to the principal balance of the Note (without the need to provide any notice to the Company) or otherwise paid by the Company in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue additional damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, to the Holder within a reasonable time.  The Company acknowledges that if the Company fails to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares as and when required, the Holder may revoke the Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise pursuant to the terms set forth in the Note or the Warrant, as applicable.  Notwithstanding any such revocation, the charges described in this Section 7.1 which have accrued through the date of such revocation shall remain due and owing to the Holder.

 

7.2.           Buy-In Adjustment. If, by the fifth Trading Day after the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Conversion Shares, but at any time after the Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion or exercise (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the immediately preceding Section 7.1, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below).  The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of Sold Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (i) the Holder’s total purchase price per share (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (ii) the net proceeds per share (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.  The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock the Holder sold for net proceeds of $10,000.00, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Holder will be $1,000.00.

Closing of the purchase and sale of the Securities, which the parties anticipate shall occur concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, shall occur at the offices of the Buyer and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, or on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer.

The accuracy on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Buyer on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Buyer required to be performed on or before such date.

 

9.4.           There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

 

10.           CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Securities from the Company pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date is conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of all of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by the Buyer:

11.1.           The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and forever hold harmless the Buyer and the Buyer’s stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, partners, Affiliates, employees, attorneys, and agents, and each Buyer Control Person (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Buyer or any of the other Buyer Parties becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, as such Damages are incurred. The Buyer Parties with the right to be indemnified under this subsection (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have the right to defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of their own selection, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto.  If the Indemnified Parties opt not to retain their own counsel, the Company shall defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, provided that such attorneys have been pre-approved by the Indemnified Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the Company may not settle any such action or proceeding without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnified Parties.

 

  

20

  

 

11.2.           The indemnity contained in this Agreement shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Buyer Parties against the Company or others, and (b) any other liabilities the Company may be subject to.

 

12.           PERFORMANCE. The Company, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice or a Notice of Exercise, (a) may not fail or refuse to deliver shares or certificates representing shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, or (b) if there is a claim for a breach by the Company against the Buyer of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense to performance any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, in either case, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver such shares or certificates to the Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or the Holder’s defense is recognized.  Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted.  This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full.

 

13.           OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time the Holder shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause the Holder (together with its Affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Note), then the Company must not issue to the Holder the excess Ownership Limitation Shares (as defined in the Note). For purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined under the 1934 Act. The Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of the Holder. From time to time, the Holder may notify the Company in writing of the number of Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to the Holder without causing the Holder to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to the Holder, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Holder. Additionally, if at any time after the Closing the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock (as defined in the Note) falls below $10,000,000, then from that point on, for so long as the Holder or the Holder’s Affiliate owns Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock, the Company shall post (or cause to be posted), no less frequently than every thirty (30) calendar days, the then-current number of issued and outstanding shares of its capital stock to the Company’s web page located at OTCmarkets.com (or such other web page approved by the Holder). Additionally, within three (3) Trading Days of a written request from Buyer, the Company (or the Company’s Transfer Agent) will provide the Buyer the then-current number of authorized, but unissued and unreserved shares of its capital stock. The Company understands that its failure to so post its shares outstanding or to provide the number of unissued and unreserved shares could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies in the Transaction Documents, the Company shall pay the Holder a late fee of $250.00 per calendar day for each calendar day that the Company fails to comply with the foregoing obligation to post its shares outstanding or to provide the number of unreserved and unissued shares as required herein.  As elected by the Holder, the amount of any late fees incurred under this Section shall either be automatically added to the principal balance of the Note (without the need to provide any notice to the Company) or otherwise paid by the Company in immediately available funds upon demand.

TRANSFER AGENT LETTER

 

IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT

Date:  December 17, 2013

To the transfer agent of CODESMART HOLDINGS, INC.

Re:           Instructions to Reserve and Transfer Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 17, 2013 (as the same may be amended or exchanged from time to time, the “Note”), made by CODESMART HOLDINGS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, its successors and/or assigns (the “Holder”), the aggregate sum of $225,000.00, plus interest, fees, and collection costs.  The Note was issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2013, by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Agreement” and together with the Note, the Warrant (as defined below), and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, including any amendments hereto, the “Loan Documents”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Note may be converted into shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion or otherwise under the Note, the “Conversion Shares”).

 

Reference is also made to that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock dated December 17, 2013 (as the same may be amended or exchanged from time to time, the “Warrant”), issued by the Company in connection with the Agreement, pursuant to which the Holder may purchase shares of Common Stock.  All shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Warrant or that the Company is otherwise required to issue to the Holder or its broker upon any exercise of the Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares”.  The Conversion Shares, together with the Warrant Shares, are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares.”

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, until all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full (or otherwise expired), the Company has agreed to at all times establish a reserve of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock equal to the amount calculated as follows (such calculated amount is referred to herein as the “Share Reserve”): (i) three times the higher of (1) the Outstanding Balance (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note) divided by the Conversion Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note), and (2) the Outstanding Balance divided by the Market Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Note), plus (ii) three times the number of Delivery Shares (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Warrant) that would be required to be delivered to the Holder in order to effect a complete exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof.

 

This irrevocable letter of instructions (this “Letter”) shall serve as the authorization and direction of the Company to Island Stock Transfer, or its successors, as the Company’s transfer agent (hereinafter, “you” or “your”), to reserve shares of Common Stock and to issue (or where relevant, to reissue in the name of Holder) shares of Common Stock to the Holder or its broker, upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, as follows:

 

17.           From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement and the Note are paid and performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full (or otherwise expired), (a) you shall establish a reserve of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock in an amount not less than 1,020,000 shares (the “Transfer Agent Reserve”), (b) you shall maintain and hold the Transfer Agent Reserve for the exclusive benefit of the Holder, (c) you shall issue the shares of Common Stock held in the Transfer Agent Reserve to the Holder or its broker only (subject to the immediately following clause (d)), (d) when you issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder or its broker under the Note or Warrant pursuant to the other instructions in this Letter, you shall not issue any such shares from the Transfer Agent Reserve, unless the Holder delivers to you written pre-approval of such issuance, (e) you shall not reduce the Transfer Agent Reserve under any circumstances, unless the Holder delivers to you written pre-approval of such reduction, and (f) you shall immediately add shares of Common Stock to the Transfer Agent Reserve in increments of 10,000 shares as and when requested by the Company or the Holder in writing from time to time, provided that such incremental increases do not cause the Transfer Agent Reserve to exceed the available authorized and unissued shares.

 

  

8

  

 

18.           You shall issue the Conversion Shares to the Holder or its broker in accordance with Paragraph 4 upon a conversion of all or any portion of the Note, upon delivery to you of (a) a duly executed Notice of Conversion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), and (b) either (i) written confirmation from the Holder that the Conversion Shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or (ii) a legal opinion from either the Holder’s or the Company’s counsel that the issuance of the Conversion Shares to the Holder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act or otherwise as to the free transferability of the Conversion Shares, dated within ninety (90) days from the date of conversion; provided, however, that (assuming the Conversion Shares are not registered for resale under the 1933 Act) unless such opinion of counsel indicates that, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) or any other available exemption under the 1933 Act, certificates may be issued or delivered without restrictive legend in accordance with the applicable securities laws of the United States, then any certificates for such Conversion Shares shall bear the following restrictive legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Letter, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any such legend shall be removed from all certificates for DTC Eligible (as defined below) Common Stock delivered to Holder or its broker under the Note as such Common Stock is cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC (as defined below) when Holder has presented and provided the documentation specified in the first paragraph of Section 2 above.

 

Please note that a share issuance resolution is not required for each conversion since this Letter and the Loan Documents have been approved by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board Resolution”). Pursuant to the Board Resolution, all of the Conversion Shares are authorized to be issued to the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Letter is your authorization and instruction by the Company to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to this Letter without any further authorization or direction from the Company. You shall rely exclusively on the instructions in this Letter and shall have no liability for relying on any Conversion Notice provided by the Holder. Any Conversion Notice delivered hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to you to process such notice or notices in accordance with the terms thereof, without any further direction or inquiry. Such notice or notices may be transmitted to you by fax, email, or any commercially reasonable method.

19.           You shall issue the Warrant Shares to Holder or its broker in accordance with Paragraph 4 upon exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant, upon delivery to you of (a) a duly executed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Notice of Exercise”), and (b) either (i) written confirmation from Holder that the Warrant Shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (ii) a legal opinion from either the Holder’s or the Company’s counsel that the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act or otherwise as to the free transferability of the Warrant Shares, dated within ninety (90) days from the exercise date; provided, however, that (assuming the Warrant Shares are not registered for resale under the 1933 Act) unless such opinion of counsel indicates that, pursuant to Rule 144 or any other available exemption under the 1933 Act, certificates may be issued or delivered without restrictive legend in accordance with the applicable securities laws of the United States, then any certificates for such Warrant Shares shall bear the following restrictive legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Letter, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any such legend shall be removed from all certificates for DTC Eligible (as defined below) Common Stock delivered to Holder or its broker under the Warrant as such Common Stock is cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC (as defined below) when Holder has presented and provided the documentation specified in the first paragraph of Section 3 above.

 

No separate share issuance resolution from the Company is required with respect to each exercise of the Warrant and issuance of Warrant Shares.  You shall rely exclusively on the instructions in this Letter and shall have no liability for relying on any Notice of Exercise provided by Holder. Any Notice of Exercise delivered hereunder shall constitute irrevocable instructions to you to process such notice or notices in accordance with the terms thereof, without any further direction or inquiry. Such notice or notices may be transmitted to you by fax, email, or any commercially reasonable method.

 

20.           Upon your receipt of a Conversion Notice pursuant to Paragraph 3 above, you shall, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, (a) if the Common Stock is eligible to be deposited in certificate form with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC and held on behalf of the clearing firm servicing Holder’s brokerage firm for the benefit of Holder (“DTC Eligible”), deliver to the Holder or its broker (as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice), via reputable overnight courier, to the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing such aggregate number of shares of DTC Eligible Common Stock as have been requested by the Holder to be transferred in the Conversion Notice, and take all other action reasonably necessary to accomplish the prompt processing of such DTC Eligible Common Stock such that such Common Stock can be deposited in certificate form at the DTC, cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC and eventually held in the name on behalf of the clearing firm servicing Holder’s brokerage firm for the benefit of Holder in a timely manner, or (b) if the Common Stock is not then DTC Eligible, issue and deliver to the Holder or its broker (as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice), via reputable overnight courier, to the address specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as have been requested by the Holder to be transferred in the Conversion Notice.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company and the Holder understand that you shall not be required to perform any issuance or transfer of Shares if (x) such an issuance or transfer of Shares is in violation of any state or federal securities laws or regulations, (y) the issuance or transfer of Shares is prohibited or stopped as required or directed by a court order, or (y) the Company is in violation of any of the terms and conditions of the transfer agent agree. Additionally, the Company and the Holder understand that you shall not be required to perform any issuance or transfer of Shares if the Company is in default of its payment obligations under its agreement with you; provided, however, that in such case the Holder shall have the right to pay the fee on behalf of the Company and upon payment of the fee by the Holder, you shall be obligated to make the requested issuance or transfer.

 

  

10

  

 

21.           You understand that a delay in the delivery of Shares hereunder could result in economic loss to the Holder and that time is of the essence in your processing of each Conversion Notice and Notice of Exercise.

 

22.           The certificates representing the Shares to be issued or reissued pursuant to Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 3 above shall (a) be in the name of the Holder, (b) not bear any legend restricting transfer, (c) not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions, and (d) shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, if:

 

22.1.           the Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise, as applicable, is accompanied by the opinion of counsel described in Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 3 opining that, pursuant to Rule 144 or any other available exemption under the 1933 Act, the certificates may be issued or delivered without restrictive legend in accordance with the applicable securities laws of the United States;

 

22.2.           the Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise, as applicable, is accompanied by a shareholder representation letter providing that (a) the date on which the Conversion Notice or Notice of Exercise is submitted to you is (i) more than twelve (12) months following the date the Note or Warrant was issued or (ii) more than six (6) months (but not more than twelve (12) months) following the date the Note or Warrant was issued, and (b) the holder is not an “affiliate”, as defined in Rule 144 (a)(i) under the 1933 Act, of the Company; and

 

22.3.           only to the extent Paragraph 6.2(a)(ii) immediately above is applicable, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is current in its reporting obligations thereunder.

 

23.           You are hereby authorized and directed to promptly disclose to the Holder, after Holder’s request from time to time, the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and the total number of shares that are authorized but unissued and unreserved.

 

24.           The Company hereby confirms to you and to the Holder that no instruction other than as contemplated herein (including instructions to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve as necessary pursuant to Paragraph 1(f) above) will be given to you by the Company with respect to the matters referenced herein. The Company hereby authorizes you, and you shall be obligated, to disregard any contrary instruction received by or on behalf of the Company or any other person purporting to represent the Company.

 

  

11

  

 

25.           The Company hereby agrees not to change its transfer agent (including without limitation Island Stock Transfer) without first (i) providing the Holder with at least 30-days’ written notice of such proposed change, and (ii) obtaining the Holder’s written consent to such proposed change. Any such consent is conditioned upon the new transfer agent executing an irrevocable letter of instructions substantially similar to this Letter so that such transfer agent is bound by the same terms set forth herein.. If you cancel the transfer agency agreement and no longer act as the transfer agent to the Company, in accordance with the terms outlined within the transfer agency agreement, the Holder and the Company agree that you are no longer obligated and/or bound by any of the conditions of this Letter of Instructions.

 

26.           The Company acknowledges that the Holder is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company in this Letter and that the representations and covenants contained in this Letter constitute a material inducement to the Holder to make the loan evidenced by the Note.  The Company further acknowledges that without such representations and covenants of the Company, the Holder would not have made the loan to the Company evidenced by the Note.

 

27.           The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection with the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith.

 

28.           The Holder is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Letter. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Holder will be irreparably damaged, and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Letter were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Letter, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for a specific performance of the provisions of this Letter.

 

29.           This Letter shall be fully binding and enforceable against the Company even if it is not signed by the Company’s transfer agent. If the Company takes (or fails to take) any action contrary to this Letter, then such action or inaction will constitute a default under the Loan Documents. Although no additional direction is required by the Company, any refusal by the Company to immediately confirm this Letter and the instructions contemplated herein to the Company’s transfer agent will constitute a default under the Loan Documents.

 

30.           Whenever possible, each provision of this Letter shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Letter shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Letter or the validity or enforceability of this Letter in any other jurisdiction.

 

31.           By signing below, each individual executing this Letter on behalf of an entity represents and warrants that he or she has authority to so execute this Letter on behalf of such entity and thereby bind such entity to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

32.           This Letter is governed by Illinois law. By signing below, the Company represents and warrants that they have received good and valuable consideration in exchange for executing this Letter.

Effective December 17, 2013

___________________________

The undersigned, as a qualified officer of CodeSmart Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that this Share Issuance Resolution is authorized by and consistent with the resolutions of the Company’s board of directors (“Board Resolution”) regarding (i) that certain Convertible Promissory Note in the face amount of $225,000.00 with an original issuance date of December 17, 2013 (the “Note”), made by the Company in favor of Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, its successor and/or assigns (“Iliad”), and (ii) that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock issued by the Company to Iliad (the “Warrant”), all pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2013, by and between the Company and Iliad (the “Agreement”).

 

RESOLVED, that Island Stock Transfer, as transfer agent (including any successor transfer agent, the “Transfer Agent”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), is authorized to rely upon:

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
a Conversion Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, whether an original or a copy (the “Conversion Notice”),

 

	
  

	
(ii)

	
an Installment Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, whether an original or a copy (the “Installment Notice”),

 

	
  

	
(iii)

	
a True-Up Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, whether an original or a copy (the “True-Up Notice”), and

 

	
  

	
(iv)

	
a Notice of Exercise of Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, whether an original or a copy (the “Notice of Exercise”),

 

in each case without any further inquiry, to be delivered to the Transfer Agent from time to time either by the Company or Iliad.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Transfer Agent is authorized to issue the number of:

 

	
  

	
(i)

(ii)

	
“Installment Conversion Shares” (representing shares of Common Stock) set forth in each Installment Notice delivered to the Transfer Agent,

 

	
  

	
(iii)

	
“True-Up Conversion Shares” (representing shares of Common Stock) set forth in each True-Up Notice delivered to the Transfer Agent,

 

	
  

	
(iv)

(v)

	
all additional shares of Common Stock the Company may subsequently instruct the Transfer Agent to issue in connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise under the Note or the Warrant,

 

with such shares to be issued in the name of Iliad, or its successors, transferees, or designees, free of any restricted security legend, as permitted by the Note or the Warrant, as the case may be.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that consistent with the terms of the Agreement, the Transfer Agent is authorized and directed to immediately create a transfer agent share reserve equal to 1,020,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the benefit of Iliad (the “Transfer Agent Reserve”); provided that the Transfer Agent Reserve may increase in increments of 10,000 shares from time to time by written instructions provided to the Transfer Agent by the Company or Iliad as required by the Agreement and as contemplated by the Board Resolution.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that Iliad must consent in writing to any reduction of the Transfer Agent Reserve; provided, however, that upon (i) full conversion and/or full repayment of the Note and (ii) the complete exercise (or expiration) of the Warrant, the Transfer Agent Reserve will terminate thirty (30) days thereafter.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Company shall indemnify the Transfer Agent and its employees against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expenses incurred by or asserted against the Transfer Agent arising from any action taken by the Transfer Agent in reliance upon this Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Nothing in this Share Issuance Resolution shall limit or restrict those resolutions and authorizations set forth in the Board Resolution, including without limitation, the calculation from time to time of the Share Reserve (as defined in the Agreement).
