WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

VOID AFTER 5:30 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 APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SAGEBRUSH GOLD LTD., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, but no later than 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) to FROST GAMMA INVESTMENTS TRUST or registered assigns (the “Holder”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, Nine Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Eight (9,853,188) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Warrant Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.60 per share (the “Warrant Price”), pursuant to this warrant (this “Warrant”).  The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be so issued and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.  The term “Common Stock” shall mean, when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock and other securities and property at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, entered into by the Company, the Holder and the other signatories thereto.

 

1. Exercise of Warrant.

 

a. The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 11, the Notice of Exercise attached hereto having then been duly executed by the Holder, accompanied by cash, certified check or bank draft in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of shares of the Warrant Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise, or as otherwise provided in this Warrant, prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 29, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

b. Cashless Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

	
  

	
 (A) = the closing price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

	
  

	
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

  

1

  

 

c. 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 shares of Warrant Stock.  If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company.  The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

 

d. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock (which shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.

 

e. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder within  three (3) trading days after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate for the Warrant Stock is issued upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant.

 

f.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Stock pursuant to an exercise within three trading days from the date of such exercise, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, 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 (1) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) 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 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof

 

2. Disposition of Warrant Stock and Warrant.

 

a. The Holder hereby acknowledges that this Warrant and any Warrant Stock purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 (ii) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and that the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act, and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Stock for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control.

 

  

2

  

The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Stock unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act.

 

b. If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, unless cashless exercise is properly elected by the Holder, in which case the certificate representing the Warrant Stock shall not bear any restrictive legend, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant 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 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, 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 its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further agrees that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights 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.

 

4. Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant.  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 different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.  Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto 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 such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. 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. [RESERVED].

 

b. [RESERVED].

 

  

3

  

c. 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 shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

d. 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 (i) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(f) and (ii) the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.

 

e. Stock and Rights Offering to Shareholders.  If the Company shall at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings or current year’s or prior year’s earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this paragraph called the “Securities”), then in each such case, the Company shall reserve shares or other units of such Securities for distribution to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant so that, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, such Holder will receive upon such exercise the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Securities, exercised this Warrant.

 

f. Warrant Price Adjustment.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Warrant Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately thereafter.

 

g. 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.

 

h. 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.

 

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

 

6. Removed and Reserved.

 

7. Removed and Reserved.

 

8. Notice to Holders.

 

a. Notice of Record Date.  In case:

Such notice shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least thirty (30) days prior to such specified date, provided, however, failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the validity of such transaction.

 

b. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate signed by its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificates to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.

 

9. 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.

13. Jurisdiction and Venue.

WHEREAS, the Company is offering a _______ units (the “Units”, and the transaction, the “Offering”)  with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) and one two-year warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”) to purchase 50% of the number of Shares purchased in the Offering with an exercise price of $0.60 per share for sale to accredited investors at a price of $0.50 per Unit (the “Offering Price “) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder or Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated thereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase that number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1.3 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Units is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock.  Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in herein, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the Company’s reports and filings with the SEC, including without limitation, the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2011 including the information and risks provided under the caption “Risk Factors”, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2011 and August 22, 2011 (as amended on August 30, 2011) and the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2011, May 13, 2011, May 19, 2011, May 31, 2011, June 3, 2011, June 10, 2011, July 22, 2011, July 28, 2011, August 12, 2011 and August 30, 2011 (collectively, the “Information Package”).  The foregoing reports contained in the Information Package are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

1.4 The Subscriber is, and on each date on which the Subscriber continues to own restricted securities from the Offering will be, an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. In general, an “Accredited Investor” is deemed to be an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding such person’s residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person (a “Reg S Person”), such Subscriber hereby represents that the representations contained in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section 1.3 are true and correct with respect to such Subscriber:

 

(a)           the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the Units is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (ii) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not acquiring the Units for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (iii) the offer and sale of the Units has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions.  Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Units has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.

 

(b)           Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants) cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of one year from and after the closing date of the Offering, unless such securities are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available.  Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the Units (or the underlying Shares and Warrants).

 

(c)           Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate, note or other document evidencing the securities underlying the Units and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of securities not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.

 

(d)           Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities.

 

(e)            Such Reg S Person understands that the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants)  have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer.  The Units, the Shares and the Warrants are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(f)             Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants) may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available.  In connection with any resale of the Units pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.

(g)           Such Reg S Person makes the representations, declarations and warranties as contained in this Section 1.3 (a)-(f) with the intent that the same shall be relied upon by the Company in determining its suitability as a purchaser of such Units.

1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor, the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Units to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.

 

1.6 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to with the Information Package as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.

 

1.7 (a)           In making the decision to invest in the Units the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials.  To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Units hereunder.  The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Units other than the Offering Materials.

 

(b)           The Subscriber represents and warrants that: (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Units by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship  and (ii) no Units were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the Company with the SEC in which any offering of securities by the Company was described and as a result learned of any offering of securities by the Company.

 

1.8 The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

1.9 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D.  The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Units unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

 

1.10 The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention.  In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Units for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.  The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Units.

 

1.11 The Subscriber understands that the Common Stock is not currently traded or quoted on any market and that there is no market for the Common Stock other than the over the counter bulletin board market on which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted under the symbol “SAGE”.  The Subscriber understands that even if a public market develops for the Common Stock, Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates, among other conditions, a six month holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act.  The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Units under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth herein.

1.12 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants)  that such Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement.  The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Units. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:

IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 1933 ACT.

(b) The Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company may use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s Units are included.

 

1.20 The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Units by the Subscriber in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

(b)           Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants) cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of one year from and after the closing date of the Offering, unless such securities are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available.  Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the Units (or the underlying Shares and Warrants).

 

(c)           Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate, note or other document evidencing the securities underlying the Units and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of securities not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.

 

(d)           Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities.

 

(e)           Such Reg S Person understands that the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants)  have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer.  The Units, the Shares and the Warrants are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(f)           Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Units (including the underlying Shares and Warrants) may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available.  In connection with any resale of the Units pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.
