3.2           Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Transaction Securities to be received by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for such Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Transaction Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Transaction Securities for any period of time.  Such Investor is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

3.4           Disclosure of Information.  Such Investor has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company and the Transaction Securities requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Transaction Securities.

3.5           Restricted Securities.  Such Investor understands that the Transaction Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

3.6           Legends.  It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Transaction Securities will bear the following or any similar legend:

Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, results of operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.

The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the Company’s Knowledge, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is not aware of any facts which give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to take such measures would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.16           Tax Status.  Except for occurrences that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Investors have been asked by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Investor agreed with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold any of the Transaction Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Investor, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Investor is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which was established prior to such Investor’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) each Investor shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, one or more Investors may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Transaction Securities are outstanding, and such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.

4.18           Manipulation of Price.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Transaction Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Transaction Securities (other than the Placement Agent), or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Placement Agent).

5.           Registration Rights. 

 

5.1.           Registration.

 

(a)           Mandatory Registration.  Within 60 days of the final Closing, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) file a registration statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) on the appropriate form under the Securities Act with the SEC covering the re-sale from time to time of all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) file a registration statement  (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Exchange Statement”) on the appropriate form under the Exchange Act with the SEC registering the class of Preferred Shares, and (iii) use its best efforts, including without limitation, as necessary, seeking and cooperating with one or more market makers, to cause the quotation of the Preferred Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group, in each case, time being of the essence.  The Company will use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such registration statement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”)), and to keep such Registration Statement effective for a minimum of three years. 

 

  

12

  

 

(b)           Piggyback Registration.  If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8, Form S-4 and /or registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Investor written notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of each Investor given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Investor has requested to be registered.

 

5.2.           Indemnification.

 

(a)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, representatives, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or the Exchange Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement, the Exchange Statement or prospectus.

 

  

13

  

 

(b)           Indemnification by the Investors.  Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partner, representatives and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Claims resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement, the Exchange Statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement, Exchange Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.  In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.2 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (1) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (2) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (3) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.  No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d)           Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.2 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

 

  

14

  

 

(e)           Other Rights to Indemnification.  The provisions of Section 5.2 of this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

 

5.3.           Company Efforts.  If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 5.1 to use its best efforts to register any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act or class of securities under the Exchange Act, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

 

(a)           Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Exchange Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities or class of securities, respectively, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such Registration Statement) and remain effective for a period of at least three years.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 5.1 of this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement current and effective for three years and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement required to effect the distribution of the securities.

 

(c)           Furnish to the Investors participating in the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement, applicable copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final, amended or supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities, but only while the Company is required under the provisions hereof to keep the Registration Statement current.

 

(d)           Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the Investors participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each participating Investor to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions.

 

(e)           Notify each Investor selling Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each such Investor selling Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

  

15

  

 

(f)           As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Registration Statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months thereafter, make generally available to the Investors participating in the offering an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including, at the Company’s option, Rule 158 thereunder. To the extent that the Company files such information with the SEC in satisfaction of the foregoing, the Company need not deliver the above referenced earnings statement to the Investor.

 

(g)           Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each Investor participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement or Exchange Statement and permit each such Investor to do such investigation at such Investor’s sole cost and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or Exchange Statement as it deems reasonably necessary and for a proper purpose related to the Investor offering securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Investor agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere unreasonably with the Company’s business when conducting any such investigation and each Investor shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Section 3 confidential.

 

(h)           Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the United States for all such shares of Common Stock covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

 

(i)           Pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities or class of securities, whether or not such Registration Statement or Exchange Statement shall become effective; provided that each Investor shall pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, and their own counsel and accounting fees, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Investor’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. As used herein, “Registration Expenses” means any and all reasonable and customary expenses incident to performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth herein, including, without limitation, (i) all SEC and stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses of or disbursements by the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, and (iv) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the Company’s independent public accountants.

 

(j)           Timely make all filings with FINRA and pay all FINRA filing expenses (including FINRA filing fees and reasonable legal fees of counsel to the Placement Agent in connection with such filings) incurred in connection with filings that are required by Rule 5110 of FINRA so that FINRA members (including without limitation the Placement Agent) may resell Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement without further filings under such rule by them.

 

  

16

  

 

5.4.           Cooperation by Investor.  Each Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5.  Each Investor shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such Registration Statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the Registration Statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution of the Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Agent Warrant Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such Registration Statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.

 

5.5           In the event that the Registration Statement (containing such number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC) is not declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, then, in addition to any other rights the Investors may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company shall pay to each Investor on each monthly anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline (if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective) until the Registration Statement has been declared effective an amount, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.1% of the Purchase Price paid by such Investor, provided, however, the Company shall not pay to any Investor more than 0.6% of the Purchase Price paid by such Investor pursuant to this Section 5.5.  

 

5.6.           Specific Performance.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by an Investor of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Investor or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Investor agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.           Transfer Restrictions.

 

6.1.           Transfer or Resale. Each Investor understands that:

 

(i)           Except as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above,  the sale or resale of all or any portion of the Transaction Securities has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of the Transaction Securities may not be transferred unless:

 

(A)           the Transaction Securities are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act;

 

(B)           the Investor shall have delivered to the Company,  at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Transaction Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;

 

(C)           the Transaction Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Transaction Securities only in accordance with this Section 6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor;

 

  

17

  

 

(D)           the Transaction Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

and, in each of (D) and (E), the Investor shall have delivered to the Company a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Transaction Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

6.2           Transfer Agent Instructions.  If an Investor provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such counsel, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Transaction Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer and promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend (if permitted by law), in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

9.3           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Each party hereto covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.  Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

9.4           Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

(b)           Promptly after receipt by any Investor (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

 

9.5.           Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter contained herein.

 

9.6           Underlying Shares.  The Company agrees at all times as long as the Preferred Shares or Agent Warrants may be converted or exercised, to keep reserved from the authorized and unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as may be issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Agent Warrants.

 

9.7.           Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and, except for the Placement Agent and other registered broker-dealers, if any, who are specifically agreed to be and acknowledged by each party as third party beneficiaries hereof, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

  

21

  

 

9.8.           Current Public Information. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, for a minimum of three years from the date of the final Closing, if  the Investors, Placement Agent or transferees of either still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) for a minimum of 36 months from the date of the final Closing if an Investor, the Placement Agents or a transferee of either still owns any Registrable Securities, and in relation to a proposed sale of the Registrable Securities, furnish to such holder of Registrable Securities, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including without limitation compliance with Rule 144(c) relating to current public information), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a holder to sell any such securities without registration.

 

9.9.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Investor shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, any Investor may, without the consent of the Company or any other Investor, assign its rights hereunder to any person that purchases Transaction Securities in a private transaction from an Investor or to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act.

 

.10.           Public Disclosures. The Company shall  on or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, within four (4) Business Days after the date of the First Closing, file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents that are required to be filed pursuant to those requirements, (which may include, without limitation, this Agreement and any schedules or attachments to this Agreement) (including any exhibits, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) delivered to any of the Investors by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Placement Agent shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of the applicable Investor (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s sole discretion), the Company shall not disclose the name of such Investor in any filing (other than the 8-K Filing, any Registration Statement registering the Transaction Securities and any other filing as is required by applicable law and regulations), announcement, release or otherwise.

 

9.11.           Binding Effect; Benefits.  This Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any persons other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

  

22

  

 

9.12.           Amendment; Waivers.  All modifications, amendments or waivers to this Agreement shall require the written consent of both the Company and the holders of the majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Shares; provided, however, that any amendment to Section 9.1 of this Agreement shall require the written consent of both the Company and the Placement Agent.

 

9.13.           Applicable Law; Disputes.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof, and the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or, if jurisdiction in such court is lacking, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, in respect of any dispute or matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement.

 

9.14.           Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

9.15.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which shall be deemed an original.

 

9.16.           Independent Nature of Investors.  The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement or other transaction document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other transaction document.  Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.  The decision of each Investor to purchase Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  Nothing contained herein or in any other transaction document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document, each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and acknowledge and understand that Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky & Popeo, PC has served as counsel to the Placement Agent only.

 

9.17.           Amendment of Series E Certificate of Designation.  Upon receipt by the Company of a request by holders representing at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Company shall use its reasonable  efforts to amend Section 4 of the Series E Certificate of Designation to provide the Series E Preferred Stock with voting rights by amending and restating the first sentence of such section to read as follows:

 

“Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together on an as-converted basis and not as separate classes.”

DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS, INC.

 

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME,

 

ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

 

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR WITHOUT DELIVERING AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DecisionPoint Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time commencing on the date hereof but no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on ________ __, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”), to ____________, or his, her or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, _____________________________ (_________) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price per share of $0.55 (the “Warrant Price”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant (this “Warrant”).  The number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (“Warrant Shares”) and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.

 

This Warrant is issued to the Placement Agent under the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum dated October 24, 2013, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 

1. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to the terms and conditions set forth herein by delivering to the Company (whether via facsimile or otherwise) at any time prior to the Expiration Date (such date of exercise, the “Exercise Date”) (i) the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) (having then been duly executed by the Holder), and (ii) unless the Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), cash, a certified check, a bank draft or wire transfer in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b) On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day (as defined below) following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives payment of the Warrant Price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the Warrant Price (such later date, the “Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. 

 

  

1

  

 

Upon the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the Warrant Price, 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 or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all Warrant Shares prior to the third (3rd) business day after the Delivery Date with respect to an exercise of any portion of this Warrant for any reason, then Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter until receipt of all the Warrant Shares relating to the Exercise Notice, to rescind the Exercise Notice by providing notice to the Company (the “Rescission Notice”).  Upon delivery of a Rescission Notice to the Company, the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Warrant with respect to such unexercised portions of this Warrant and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, return such unexercised Warrant to the Holder or, if the Warrant has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Warrant has not been exercised.  This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares.  If exercised in part, at the request of the Holder and upon delivery of the original Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.  “Trading Day” means a day on which the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the OTCQB or any other trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock may then trade is open for business.

 

(c) In addition to the rights set forth in Section 1(b), if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the close of business on the third Trading Day after the date of exercise, and if after such third Trading Day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Company’s obligations under this Section 1(c) will be subject to the Holder providing the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by cash payment in the manner set forth in Section 1(a), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, and to pay for the Warrant Stock by way of cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”). If the Holder wishes to effect a cashless exercise, the Holder shall deliver the Exercise Notice duly executed by such Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed according to the following equation:

 

 

  

2

  

 

; where

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder.

 

Y = the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant Shares being exercised.

 

A = the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Warrant Price (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant).

 

For purposes of this Section 1(d), the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date shall have one of the following meanings:

 

(1)           if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices over a five trading day period ending on the Exercise Date.  For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Price” means the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg; or

 

(2)           if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices price over the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the Exercise Date; or

 

(3)           if neither (1) nor (2) is applicable, the Fair Market Value shall be at the commercially reasonable price per share which the Company could obtain on the Exercise Date from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

For illustration purposes only, if this Warrant entitles the Holder the right to purchase 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Holder were to exercise this Warrant for 50,000 Warrant Shares at a time when the Warrant Price per share was $1.00 and the Fair Market Value of each share of Common Stock was $2.00 on the Exercise Date, as applicable, the cashless exercise calculation would be as follows:

 

X = 50,000 ($2.00-$1.00)

2.00

 

X = 25,000

 

Therefore, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder after giving effect to the cashless exercise would be 25,000 Warrant Shares and the Company would issue the Holder a new Warrant to purchase 50,000 Warrant Shares, reflecting the portion of this Warrant not exercised by the Holder.  For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in the cashless exercise transaction described pursuant to Section 1(d) shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of the Holder’s acquisition of the Warrant.

 

(e) In lieu of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will issue an additional whole share in lieu of that fractional share.

 

  

3

  

 

(f) Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.

 

(g) The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

2. Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.

 

(a) The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto have not been registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder.  The Holder represents and warrants that he, she or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for his, her or its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b) The Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until he, she or it shall have first obtained an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (competent in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law.

 

(c) If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act and the Warrant Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act, the Company may, at its election, require that any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.”

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

3. Reservation of Shares

 

The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and payment of the Warrant Price therefor, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to in writing by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

4. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant

 

Subject to Section 2, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of the Company (“Warrants”) of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.  Subject to Section 2, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”) duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in the Assignment Form and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.  Subject to Section 2, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

5. Capital Adjustments

 

This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

(a) Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession.  If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

  

5

  

 

(c) Stock Dividends and Distributions.  If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock that Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.

 

(d) Price Adjustments.  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Sections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), the then applicable Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(e) Certain Shares Excluded.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.

 

(f) Deferral and Cumulation of De Minimis Adjustments.  The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event that would otherwise have given rise to such adjustment.  In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue fractional Warrant Shares or fractional portions of any securities upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

(g) Duration of Adjustment.  Following each computation or readjustment as provided in this Section 5, the new adjusted Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall remain in effect until a further computation or readjustment thereof is required.

 

6. Notice to Holders.

 

(a) Notice of Record Date.  In case:

 

(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

(iii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least ten (10) days prior to such specified date.

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation

 

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, without expense to the Holder, a new Warrant of like tenor dated the date hereof.

 

8. Warrant Holder Not a Stockholder

 

The Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, including but not limited to voting rights.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

9. Registration Rights
