OF THE FIRST PART

AND SHAMIKA 2 GOLD, INC.

OF THE SECOND PART

MADE AS OF THE ______ DAY OF DECEMBER, 2010

For the purposes hereof, the term "Net Smelter Returns" shall, subject to paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6 below, mean gross revenues received from the sale by the Owner of all ore mined from the Property and from the sale by the Owner of concentrate, doré, metal and products derived from ore mined from the Properties, after deduction of the following:

	
(a)  

	
all smelting and refining costs, sampling, assaying and treatment charges and penalties including but not limited to metal losses, penalties for impurities and charges for refining, selling and handling by the smelter, refinery or other purchaser (including price participation charges by smelters and/or refiners); and

	
(b)  

	
costs of handling, transporting, securing and insuring such material from the Properties or from a concentrator, whether situated on or off the Properties, to a smelter, refinery or other place of treatment, and in the case of gold or silver concentrates or doré, security costs; and

	
(c)  

	
sales and other taxes based upon sales or production, but not income taxes pursuant to federal, provincial or territorial tax legislation; and

	
(d)  

	
marketing costs, including sales commissions, incurred in selling ore mined from the Properties and from concentrate, dolt, metal and products derived from ore mined from the Properties.

	
3.  

	 

	
(a)  

	
Where revenue otherwise to be included under this Schedule is received by the Owner in a transaction with a party with whom it is not dealing at arm's length, the revenue to be included shall be based on the fair market value under the circumstances and at the time of the transaction.

 

 

  

7

  

 

 

	
(b)  

	
Where a cost otherwise deductible under this Schedule is incurred by the Owner in a transaction with a party with whom it is not dealing at arm's length, the cost to be deducted shall be the fair market cost under the circumstance and at the time of the transaction.

	
4.  

	
For the purpose of determining Net Smelter Returns, all receipts and major disbursements in a currency other than Canadian shall be converted into Canadian currency on the day of receipt or disbursement, as the case may be, and all other disbursements in a currency other than Canadian shall be converted into Canadian currency at the average rate for the month of disbursement determined using the Bank of Canada noon rates.

	
5.  

	
The Owner may, but shall not be under any duty to, engage in price protection (hedging) or speculative transactions such as futures contracts and commodity options in its sole discretion covering ail or part of production from the Properties. None of the revenues, costs, profits or losses from such transactions shall be taken into account in calculating Net Smelter Returns or any interest therein.

	
6.  

	
If the Properties are brought into production, they may be operated as a single operation with other mining properties owned by third parties or in which the Owner has an interest, in which event, the parties agree that (notwithstanding separate ownership thereof) ores mined from the mining properties (including the Properties) may be blended at the time of mining or at any time thereafter, provided, however, that the respective mining properties shall bear and have allocated to them their proportionate part of costs described in paragraphs 2(a) to 2(d) above incurred relating to the single operation, and shall have allocated to each of them the proportionate part of the revenues earned relating to such single operation. In making any such allocation, effect shall be given to the tonnages and location of ore and other material mined and beneficiated and the characteristics of such material including the metal content of ore removed from, and to any special charges relating particularly to ore, concentrates or other products or the treatment thereof derived from, any of such mining properties.

7.  

	
Payments of a percentage of Net Smelter Returns shall be made to the Holder within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter in which Net Smelter Returns, as determined on the basis of final adjusted invoices, are received by the Owner. All such payments shall be made in Canadian dollars.

	
8.  

	
After the year in which production is commenced on the Properties, the Holder receiving a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner shall be provided annually on or before March 31st with a copy of the calculation of Net Smelter Returns, determined in accordance with this Schedule, for the preceding calendar year, certified correct by a senior officer of the Owner.

	
9.  

	
The Holder may, on or before April 30th of any year, give written notice to the Owner requiring an audit. The Owner shall then arrange for the external auditors of the Owner to carry out an audit at the sole expense of the Holder subject to reimbursement as described below and a copy of the auditor's report shall be provided to the Owner and Holder promptly upon completion of the audit. The auditor's report shall be subject to such qualifications the auditor wishes. to make, if any, and shall cover the calendar year ending on December 31 of the year immediately preceding the year of the notice.

 

 

 

  

8

  

 

if it is determined that the amount of Net Smelter Returns which should have been paid by the Owner to the Holder is different from the amount of Net Smelter Returns determined and paid to the Holder in accordance with this paragraph, the calculation of Net Smelter Returns for the audited period shall be amended to agree with the auditor's determination; and:

	
(a)  

	
if the result is a net increase in payment due to the Holder in respect of the interest in Net Smelter Returns, the Owner shall pay promptly the amount of such net increase to the Holder; and

	
(b)  

	
if the result is a net decrease in payment due to the Holder the Holder shall refund promptly such overpayment to the Owner.

The Owner shall retain the books and records relating to the Properties for the current year and for the three calendar years prior to the current year. In the event of the termination of the interest in Net Smelter Returns, the Owner shall, for a period of thirty-six months following the date of such termination, retain the books and records relating to the Properties for the year in which termination occurs and the three immediately prior calendar years. The Owner's books and records no longer required to meet the obligations of this paragraph may be destroyed.

	
10.  

	
Nothing contained in the Agreement or any Schedule attached thereto shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right to or beneficial interest in the Properties. The right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns from the Owner as and when due is and shall be deemed to be a contractual right only. Furthermore, the right to receive a percentage of Net Smelter Returns by the Holder from the Owner as and when due shall not be deemed to constitute the Owner the partner, agent or legal representative of the Holder or to create any fiduciary relationship between them for any purpose whatsoever,

	
11.  

	
The Owner shall be entitled to (i) make all operational decisions with respect to the methods and extend of mining and processing of ore, concentrate, doré, metal and products produced from the Properties (for example, without limitation, the decision to process by heap leaching rather than conventional milling), (ii) make all decisions relating to sales of such ore, concentrate, doré, metal and products produced and (iii) make all decisions concerning temporary or long-term cessation of operations.

Initial Exercise Price:  $[            ] per share

 

Advanced Cell Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Socius CG II, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company, the holder hereof, or its designees or assigns (“Holder”), is obligated, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon automatic exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times after issuance and until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the second anniversary of the Issuance Date subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, that number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock set forth above and as adjusted herein (the “Warrant Shares”).  This Warrant may only be exercised for that number of shares of Common Stock with an Aggregate Exercise Price equal to 20% of the cumulative amount of Tranche Purchase Prices under Tranche Notices delivered prior to or on the date of exercise.

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2010, by and among the Company and the investor named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in ARTICLE 13 hereof.

 

This Warrant shall vest and become automatically exercisable in tranches upon delivery of each Tranche Notice under the Purchase Agreement.  Each Tranche Notice will obligate the Holder to exercise a portion of the Warrant and purchase a number of shares of Common Stock with an Aggregate Exercise Price equal to 20% of the Tranche Purchase Price for such Tranche Notice.  Attached to this Warrant is a schedule that sets forth the issuance date, the number of Warrant Shares, and the Exercise Price for each tranche.  Such schedule shall be updated  by the Company, with an updated copy provided to the Holder, promptly following each exercise of this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1

 

EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

1.1 Mechanics of Exercise.

 

1.1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised by the Holder on each Tranche Notice Date, with such automatic exercise documented by (i) delivery of a written notice to the Company, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), with such payment made, at Investor’s option, (x) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (y) by the issuance and delivery of a recourse promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 (each, a “Recourse Note”), or (z) if applicable, by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1.3.

 

1.1.2 The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

1.1.3 On the Trading Day on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) from the Holder by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, or on the next Trading Day if the Exercise Delivery Documents are received after 6:30 p.m. Eastern time or on a non-Trading Day (the “Exercise Delivery Date”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and an electronic copy of its share issuance instructions to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), with such electronic transmissions to comply with the notice provisions contained in Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement, and shall instruct and authorize the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of freely-tradable Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, with such credit to occur no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on third Trading Day following the Exercise Delivery Date, time being of the essence; provided, however, that if the Warrant Shares are not credited as DWAC Shares by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day following the Exercise Delivery Date, then the Tranche Closing Date applicable to the Exercise Notice shall be extended by one Trading Day for each Trading Day that timely credit of DWAC Shares is not made.

 

1.1.4 Upon automatic exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account.

 

1.1.5 If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1.1 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6.4) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

1.2 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  In addition to other adjustments specified herein, the Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise shall be adjusted as follows:

 

1.2.1 Exercise Price.  The “Exercise Price” per share of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, subject to further adjustment as provided herein, shall be as follows:

 

(i) with respect this Warrant issued on the Effective Date and until the first Tranche Notice Date, the amount per Warrant Share set forth on the face of this Warrant, which is equal to Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock on the Trading Day prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) with respect to the portion of this Warrant that vests and becomes exercisable on any Tranche Notice Date including the first Tranche Notice Date, an amount per Warrant Share equal to the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on such Tranche Notice Date.

 

  

2

  

 

1.2.2 Number of Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, subject to further adjustment as provided herein, shall be as follows: (i) with respect to this Warrant issued on the Effective Date, the number of shares set forth on the face of this Warrant, which is that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Placement multiplied by 20%, with the resulting sum divided by the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) with respect to the portion of this Warrant that is automatically exercised on any Tranche Notice Date including the first Tranche Notice Date, a number of shares equal to the Tranche Purchase Price multiplied by 20%, with the resulting sum divided by the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the Tranche Notice Date.  For example, if the Tranche Purchase Price is $1,000,000 and the Closing Bid Price is $0.50, then the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Warrant vesting and automatically exercisable in connection with such Tranche shall be $1,000,000 x 20% = $200,000 divided by $0.50 = 400,000 shares of Common Stock.  On each Tranche Notice Date, that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the portion of the Warrant vesting in connection with such Tranche shall be automatically exercised, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant shall automatically adjust up or down to account for the change in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in that Tranche and for any shares issued upon any prior or simultaneous exercise of the Warrant.

 

1.3 Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time there is not a current, valid and effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number = (B-C) x A

                                B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

 

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

1.4 Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to credit, by 12:00 p.m. Eastern time, to the Holder’s balance account with DTC on the Trading Day following the Tranche Notice Date the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s automatic exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1.1; provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Section 1.4, the Tranche Notice Date shall be deemed to be the Trading Day upon which Holder receives, as DWAC Shares, such shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant.  In addition to the foregoing, if after the Company’s issuance of a Tranche Notice the Company shall fail to timely credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s automatic exercise hereunder of the applicable portion of this Warrant, and if after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company, then the Company shall, within one Trading Day after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Warrant Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock sold by Holder in satisfaction of its obligations, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

 

  

3

  

 

1.5 Exercise Limitation.  Notwithstanding any other provision, at no time may the Company deliver a Tranche Notice if such delivery would trigger either: (a) exercise of this Warrant such that the number of Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise exceeds 20.0% of the aggregate of all Tranche Purchase Prices under and in connection with all Tranche Notices delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement prior to the date of exercise; or (b) exercise of this Warrant such that the number of Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise, aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company then owned or deemed beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates, would result in the Holder and its affiliates owning or being deemed to beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company as would be outstanding on the date of exercise, with such ownership percentage determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Holder Ownership Limit”).  In addition, as of any date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable within 61 days, together with all other shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company then owned or deemed beneficially owned by Holder and its affiliates, shall not exceed the Holder Ownership Limit.

 

1.6 Activity Restrictions.

1.7 Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

 

1.8 Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while any of the Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise the portion of the Warrant then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the portion of the Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 90 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

ARTICLE 2

 

ADJUSTMENT UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK

 

If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this ARTICLE 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

ARTICLE 3

 

PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS

 

3.1 Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to ARTICLE 2 above, if at any time the Company intends to or does grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

3.2 Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that in the event the Fundamental Transaction involves the issuance of cash or freely tradable securities by an issuer listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, then the ability to exercise this Warrant shall expire on the consummation of that Fundamental Transaction.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section 3.2  shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

3.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which the Successor Entity is a Public Successor Entity that assumes this Warrant such that this Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded common stock of such Public Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using a volatility equal to the 100 day average historical price volatility prior to the date of the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction.

NONCIRCUMVENTION

 

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any portion of the Warrant remains outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrant, 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

ARTICLE 5

 

WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER

 

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.

Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

APPENDIX 2

FORM OF NOTE

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

	$[_____________]      	Date:           [________], 20[__]

 

    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (“Lender”), at [________], or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of $[________], with interest, as follows:

 

1. Interest.  The principal balance outstanding from time to time under this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”), shall bear interest from and after the date hereof at the rate of 2.0% per year.  Interest shall be calculated on a simple interest basis and the number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is being calculated.  Payments of interest will be due on each annual anniversary of the date of this Note; provided that Borrower will not be in default hereunder for failure to make any annual interest payment when due (other than on the Maturity Date) and the amount of interest not paid when due shall be added to the principal balance of this Note and such amount will thereafter accrue interest at the rate set forth above.

 

2. Payments.  If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance, interest thereon and any other charges due and payable under this Note shall be due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note (“Maturity Date”); provided, however, that no payments on this Note will be due or payable so long as either (a) Lender is in default under any preferred stock purchase agreement for Series B or Series C Preferred Stock with Borrower or any Warrant issued pursuant thereto, any loan agreement or other material agreement entered into with Borrower, or (b) there are any shares of Series B or Series C Preferred Stock of Lender issued or outstanding (each, a “Non-Payment Event”).  Upon the termination or cure of any Non-Payment Event, Borrower’s obligation to pay amounts outstanding on this Note will immediately be reinstated.  Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note at any time without penalty or premium.  In the event that Lender redeems all or a portion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by Borrower, the proceeds of any such redemption will be applied by Borrower to pay down the accrued interest and outstanding principal of this Note and Lender will be permitted to offset the full amount of such proceeds against amounts outstanding under this Note.  All payments on this Note shall be first applied to interest, then to reduce the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

3. Full Recourse Note.  THIS IS A FULL RECOURSE PROMISSORY NOTE.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by the Collateral, in the event of a material default hereunder, Lender shall have full recourse to all the other assets of Borrower.  Moreover, Lender shall not be required to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, or to pursue any Collateral in any particular order, before Lender pursues any other remedies against Borrower or against any of Borrower’s assets.

4. Security

 

a. Pledge.  As security for the due and prompt payment and performance of all payment obligations under this Note and any modifications, replacements and extensions hereof (collectively, “Secured Obligations”), Borrower hereby pledges and grants a security interest to Lender in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to all of the following, now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, with the value of securities securing the Note on the date of issuance to be at least equal to the amount of the Note (together the “Collateral”):

 

i. Freely tradable shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, bonds, notes and/or debentures (collectively, “Pledged Securities”) with a fair market value on the date hereof at least equal to the principal amount of this Note, based upon the trading price of such securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NYSE Amex, or New York Stock Exchange;

 

ii. all rights of Borrower with respect to or arising out of the Pledged Securities, including voting rights, and all equity and debt securities and other property distributed or distributable with respect thereto as a result of merger, consolidation, dissolution, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, exchange, redemption, or other change in capital structure; and

 

iii. all proceeds, replacements, substitutions, accessions and increases in any of the Collateral.

 

b. Replacement Securities.  So long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding, in the event that Borrower sells or disposes of any Pledged Securities, Borrower shall promptly provide replacement securities of equal or greater value to such Pledged Securities.

 

c. Rights With Respect to Distributions.  So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower shall be entitled to receive any and all dividends and distributions made with respect to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, Lender shall have the sole right (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) to receive and retain dividends and distributions and apply them to the outstanding balance of this Note or hold them as Collateral, at Lender’s election.

 

d. Voting Rights.  So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral.  However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, all rights of Borrower to exercise the voting rights that Borrower would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Collateral shall cease and (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

 

e. Financing Statement; Further Assurances.  Borrower agrees, concurrently with executing this Note, that Lender may file a UCC-1 financing statement relating to the Collateral in favor of Lender, and any similar financing statements in any jurisdiction in which Lender reasonably determines such filing to be necessary.  Borrower further agrees that at any time and from time to time Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents that Lender may request in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any Collateral following an event of default.  In addition, following an event of default, Borrower shall deliver the Collateral, including original certificates or other instruments representing the Pledged Securities, to Lender to hold as secured party, and Borrower shall, if requested by Lender, execute a securities account control agreement.

 

f. Powers of Lender.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the following acts, which power is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full, and may be exercised from time to time by Lender in its discretion:  To take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4(f) and, more broadly, this Note including, without limitation:  (i) to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to Collateral in accordance with this Note, (ii) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments or other forms of payment made payable to Borrower representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Note, (iii) to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of Borrower hereunder in Borrower’s name or otherwise, (iv) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to liquidate any Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder and to apply proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to place such proceeds into a cash collateral account or to transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender, all at Lender’s sole discretion, (v)  to enter into any extension, reorganization or other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit or surrender control of the Collateral, (vi) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral, (vii) to make any compromise or settlement Lender deems desirable or proper, and (viii) to execute on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name any documents required in order to give Lender a continuing first lien upon the Collateral or any part thereof.

5. Additional Terms

 

a. No Waiver.  The acceptance by Lender of payment of a portion of any installment when due or an entire installment but after it is due shall neither cure nor excuse the default caused by the failure of Borrower timely to pay the whole of such installment and shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment when due of any future or succeeding installments.

 

b. Default.  Any one or more of the following shall constitute a “default” under this Note:  (i) a default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder, (ii) Borrower’s refusal to perform any material term, provision or covenant under this Note, (iii) the commencement of any liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding by or against Borrower, (iv) the transfer by Borrower of any Pledged Securities without being replaced by Pledged Securities in accordance with Section 4(b), and (iv) the levying of any attachment, execution or other process against Borrower, the Collateral or any material portion thereof.

 

c. Default Rights

 

i. Upon the occurrence of any payment default Lender may, at its election, declare the entire balance of principal and interest under this Note immediately due and payable.  A delay by Lender in exercising any right of acceleration after a default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy for such default.  The failure by Lender to exercise any right of acceleration as a result of a default shall not constitute a waiver of the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy with respect to any other default, whenever occurring.

 

ii. Further, upon the occurrence of any material non-monetary default, following 30 days notice from Lender to Borrower specifying the default and demanded manner of cure for any non-monetary default, Lender shall thereupon and thereafter have any and all of the rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled after a default under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect.  In addition to Lender’s other rights and remedies, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of default, Lender may in its sole discretion do or cause to be done any one or more of the following:

 

(a) Proceed to realize upon the Collateral or any portion thereof as provided by law, and without liability for any diminution in price which may have occurred, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner, whether at any public or private sale, and whether in one lot as an entirety, or in separate portions, and for such price and other terms and conditions as is commercially reasonable given the nature of the Collateral.

 

(b) If notice to Borrower is required, give written notice to Borrower at least ten days before the date of sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof.

 

(c) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Lender’s name or in the name of its nominee or nominees.

 

(d) Vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of Lender ) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto, as though Lender were the outright owner thereof.

 

iii. Borrower acknowledges that all or part of foreclosure of the Collateral may be restricted by state or federal securities laws, Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral, that a public sale is or may be impractical and inappropriate and that, in the event of such restrictions, Lender thus may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to its distribution or resale.  Borrower agrees that if reasonably necessary Lender may resort to one or more sales to a single purchaser or a restricted or limited group of purchasers.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the terms thereof shall be satisfactory to it.

 

iv. If, in the opinion of Lender based upon written advice of counsel, any consent, approval or authorization of any federal, state or other governmental agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, Borrower shall execute all such applications and other instruments as may reasonably be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the same.

 

v. The rights, privileges, powers and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative, and no single or partial exercise of any of them shall preclude the further or other exercise of any of them.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.  Any proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, and the balance of such proceeds shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Secured Obligations.

d. No Oral Waivers or Modifications.  No provision of this Note may be waived or modified orally, but only in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower.

 

e. Attorney Fees.  The prevailing party in any action by Lender to collect any amounts due under this Note shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs.

 

f. Governing Law.  This Note has been executed and delivered in, and is to be construed, enforced, and governed according to the internal laws of, the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflict of laws that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

g. Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law.  However, if any provision of this Note shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of that provision or the other provisions of this Note.

 

h. Entire Agreement.  This Note contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
