EXPLANATORY NOTE

Effective April 30, 2014, Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation, F/K/A Macrosolve, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”) changed its state of incorporation to Nevada from Oklahoma (“Reincorporation”). In connection with the Reincorporation, the Company exchanged each share of common stock issued and outstanding for shares of common stock of the newly formed Nevada entity, which was formed for purposes of the Reincorporation, on a 50.56186 for one basis, with comparable adjustments to outstanding convertible securities of the Company (the ratio, the “Reincorporation Exchange Ratio”). All per share amounts referenced in this report below reflect the Reincorporation Exchange Ratio.

The Share Exchange

On June 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Drone Aviation Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Drone”), and the shareholders of Drone.  Upon closing of the transaction contemplated under the Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”), on June 3, 2014, the shareholders of all of Drone’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Drone Shareholders”) transferred all the outstanding shares of common stock of Drone to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 8,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and 36,050,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, certain Drone Shareholders who, as a result of receiving the shares of Common Stock would hold in excess of 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on a post-closing basis, elected to receive shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, with such rights, preferences and designations as are set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.  As a result of the Share Exchange, Drone became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange:
 
  At the closing of the Share Exchange, all of the shares of common stock of Drone outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange were exchanged for the right to receive an aggregate of 8,050,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Exchange Common Shares”) and 36,050,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Concurrently, members of the new management of the Company executed Lock-Up Agreements (the “Lockup Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed to refrain from the sale of any securities of the Company held by them, including the Share Exchange Common Shares and the Series D Preferred Stock, for a period of fifteen (15) months although the Lockup Agreement provides for certain leak out provisions, allowing the holder the right to sell up to 3.5% of the average daily volume of the Common Stock beginning on the thirteen month anniversary of the Lockup Agreement.
     
  Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, Michael Haas resigned from all officer positions with the Company but remains a director of the Company. Felicia Hess was appointed Chief Executive Officer and director, Daniyel Erdberg was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Wayne Jackson was appointed Chairman of the Board.
 
 On June 3, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,700,000 units (the “Units”) in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of its securities to certain investors (the “Investors”) at a purchase price of $0.50 per Unit pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,350,000. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), each of which is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock, with such rights and designations as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, attached as an exhibit to this Current Report (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”); and (ii) a three year warrant, attached as an exhibit to this Current Report (the “Warrant”), to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.00 per Warrant Share.

The Units sold in the Private Placement, as well as the conversion ratio of the Series  E Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants, are subject to a “Most Favored Nations” provision for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Private Placement in the event the Company issues Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.50 per share, subject to certain customary exceptions.   Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock and has a stated value of $0.0001.  The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.   The Company is prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 3.33% (provided that certain investors elected to block their beneficial ownership at 4.99%), in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).  Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such share is convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. The Company is prohibited from effecting the exercise of a Warrant to the extent that, as a result of such exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 3.33%, in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant, which limitation may be increased to 4.99% upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
 
Giving effect to (i) the closing of the Share Exchange and (ii) the closing of the Private Placement, there were approximately 11,970,709 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, 36,050,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding and 2,700,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Share Exchange Common Shares and the Series D Preferred Stock, were not registered under the Securities Act, and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Series E Preferred Stock and the Warrants issued to investors in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act, and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Certificates representing these shares will contain a legend stating the restrictions applicable to such shares.
 
Changes to the Board of Directors and Executive Officers.   On June 3, 2014, effective upon the closing of the Share Exchange, Michael Haas resigned as interim President of the Company (but remains a director) and Felicia Hess was appointed Chief Executive Officer and director, Daniyel Erdberg was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Wayne Jackson was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

  Description of Drone’s Business

In this Current Report, unless the context provides otherwise, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Drone Aviation Holding Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Corporate Overview

Drone was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 31, 2014.  On May 5, 2014, Drone entered into a share exchange agreement with Lighter Than Air Systems Corp. (“LTAS”) and World Surveillance Group Inc. (“WSGI”), the sole shareholder of LTAS, pursuant to which WSGI transferred all of the issued and outstanding common stock of LTAS to Drone in consideration for capital of Drone and LTAS became a wholly owned subsidiary of Drone. Through LTAS, Drone provides aerial and land-based surveillance and communications solutions to government and commercial customers. LTAS systems are designed and developed in-house utilizing proprietary technologies and processes that result in compact, rapidly deployable aerostat solutions and mast-based systems.

Business of Drone
 
Drone, through its wholly owned subsidiary, LTAS, is focused on the development of a series of tethered aerostats known as the Blimp in a Box™ (“BiB”) system, the Winch Aerostat Small Platform (“WASP”) and certain other tethered drone based products. The BiB system is a lighter-than-air, compact aerostat platform either self-contained on a trailer that can be towed by an MATV or MRAP or other standard vehicle, or it can operate from the bed of a pickup truck. It is designed to provide semi-persistent, mobile, real-time day/night high definition footage for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”), detection of improvised explosive devices (“IEDs”), border security and other governmental and civilian uses. The WASP, is a mobile, tactical-sized aerostat capable of carrying a variety of payloads in support of military operations. Both the BiB and the WASP can also be utilized for disaster response missions, by supporting two-way and cellular communications, and act as a repeater or provide wireless networking.
 
The BiB and WASP systems have a tethered envelope filled with helium gas, either a stabilized ISR payload or communications payload, portable ground control station and a datalink between the ground station and the envelope. Hovering at up to 2,000 ft. above the ground, the systems provide surveillance and communications capabilities with relatively low acquisition and maintenance costs.  The systems require an operational crew of a minimum of two personnel, relatively simple maintenance procedures and a quick retrieval and helium top-off for re-inflation.
 
LTAS systems were used to support a sole source contract from the United States Department of Defense (“DoD”) for a set of BiB aerostat systems. The contract award included on-location support for technical fact gathering, installation and training for the BiB systems. The BiB systems were delivered to Fort Polk, LA in April and May 2013 and testing of the aerostat system and also multiple training sessions for soldiers on the base in preparation for future military exercises was performed at that time. Formal DoD acceptance of the BiB systems was issued following completion of the testing, training and an inventory accounting.
 
In other contracts:

 
·
LTAS has provided seven critical aerostat launcher electric main winches and spare components to support the Small Tactical Multi-Payload Aerostat System (STMPAS) for the U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF). The LTAS custom designed, engineered and manufactured winch systems were requested by Georgia Tech Research Institute working with the REF in support of STMPAS. STMPAS, although larger than the BiB, is a tactical aerostat system designed to provide ISR capability for small tactical units in Afghanistan and other locations.
 
 
·
LTAS also provided two WASP systems and six aerostats to BAE Systems to support the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC). The LTAS self-contained, compact, trailer-mounted aerostat launcher system and aerostats have been delivered and are undergoing testing and evaluation for various mission profiles to support and enhance critical communications for the Army.

 
·
Five custom aerostat systems and subcomponents were provided by LTAS to support the REF. The aerostat systems and related components were delivered directly into active overseas operations to support U.S. military troops. The LTAS aerostat systems requested by the REF were custom-designed and engineered, and were manufactured to provide capabilities for specific mission requirements. The systems include aerostats, winches, tank racks and related support equipment.

 
·
LTAS has received an order for a BiB 100 aerostat system for use by a State Department of Transportation. Subsequent to the initial BiB 100 aerostat system order, the customer purchased additional surveillance related equipment. The BiB 100 was delivered to the customer during the second quarter of 2014, after which onsite training and test operations commenced.  Unlike a free flying drone or other unmanned aerial vehicle, the highly mobile BiB 100 aerostat system utilizes a high strength, power tether line to remain connected to an integrated trailer where secure communications are transmitted. The system is designed to provide incident awareness and assessment ("IAA") and can be used to monitor illegal activity, identify and monitor traffic patterns, or provide disaster response in a secure manner without the risk of being intercepted or jammed.

LTAS WASP aerostat systems successfully participated in the U.S. Army's Network Integration Experiment (NIE) 14.1 at the U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico during October and November 2013. The two complete, turn-key trailer-mounted aerostat launcher systems previously delivered to SMDC enable persistent, on-demand, beyond-line-of-sight communications in support of ground forces maneuvers. The NIE is a series of semi-annual, soldier-led evaluations designed to further integrate, mature and rapidly progress the Army's tactical communications network. NIE serves as a principal driver of change in the Army -- such in-field evaluation and integration events drive requirements, field recommendations and procurement.

WASP Systems provided by LTAS to the SMDC/Army Forces Strategic Command participated in the U.S. Army's NIE 14.2 which took place at Fort Bliss, TX and White Sands Missile Range, NM during April and May 2014. The two WASPs returned to NIE 14.2 as a “Baseline System” following their successful mission at NIE 14.1 where they were a “System Under Evaluation,” the difference being that the WASP system was used to test other new systems. The WASP is a mobile, tactical-sized aerostat capable of carrying a variety of payloads in support of military operations helping troops in the field have a tactical edge while communicating over greater distances. The WASP leverages aerostat technology to elevate network payloads to an advantaged height to enable persistent network connectivity while reducing risk to units conducting missions. The NIE 14.2 exercises were intended to evaluate joint force network capabilities; improve unified land operations with communications nodes based on aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); integrate networking technologies into the armored brigade combat team; develop ways to deliver, collect and process integrated, multi-source intelligence to front-line warfighters; and make field command posts more mobile and efficient. The NIE 14.2 exercises also will involve beyond-line-of-sight communications; expeditionary signal brigade tropospheric scatter communications; network intrusion prevention; cellular communications; electromagnetic spectrum operation; condition based maintenance; and operational energy solutions.
 
LTAS also focuses on a product range of telescoping masts as a cost-effective means for elevating a camera, radar or antenna array. LTAS model masts are available for heights from 20 feet to over 100 feet (10 stories) and head-load ratings from 15 pounds to 120 pounds. LTAS mast packages and systems are engineered for specific applications that support mobile border patrol, perimeter security, crowd management, emergency incident response, situational awareness, pipeline security, communications relay, repeater and primary antenna array, check points, and port security.

The LTAS tethered drone product line currently under development, are electrically powered drones connected to a ground based launcher via a safe and secure tether line. The concept of the tethered drone system is built on the strength of our years of developing tethered solutions for our aerostat products and combining that with the advantages of single and multi-rotor copters. The end result is a robust capability designed to be used in almost all weather environments and controlled with the push of a button. The LTAS tethered copters are being designed to take off, hover and land via remote control while being connected by a unique tether technology where all data, controls and endurance are built into the tether. The same components and systems that our military customers rely on in our launcher systems are being incorporated into the self-contained LTAS copter system in order to produce a heavier-than-air, tethered product offering. The LTAS tethered drones are designed to take off from the launcher and hover to an operational altitude of up to 1000ft. The tethered system is designed to then follow the vehicle that is towing the self-contained launcher which is mounted on a standard military specification trailer. The tethered drones are designed to be able to autonomously detect when to follow the tether or simply hover when the vehicle is parked. With the push of a button, the system is designed to be able to land and be placed back in the launcher for reuse all within FAA guidelines while combining extended durations of up to 18 hours.

Market
 
We believe a large and increasing market exists for aerostats like the BiB and WASP, which are smaller and more mobile than many of the large tethered aerostats on the market currently and which are specifically designed for quick deployment, maneuverability and superior weather handling. The BiB and WASP in their deflated, crated form can be transported in standard sized military or commercial vehicles and can be quickly inflated and launched to the mission applicable altitude by two operators within minutes where they can either remain stationary or be towed for mobile operations. The systems can be outfitted with various payloads depending on the application or mission. Finally the systems can be deflated by the same small crew within minutes and either left inflated for near-term redeployment without the need for any further helium or repackaged in their crate for longer-term redeployment. We believe the capabilities of the BiB and WASP system including their relatively low cost, ability to be prepackaged and integrated into a standard vehicle for easy transport to remote locations, the ability to deploy the system within minutes by a small crew without large infrastructure or resources, its ability to hover providing a semi-persistent security capability or their mobile capabilities providing situational awareness to on-the-move forces, and their extremely durable body that is able to handle adverse weather more effectively make the systems advantageous for use in a wide variety of military, quasi-military and civilian applications.
  
The market for our LTA aerostats and tethered drones has grown significantly over the last several years, especially following the number of terrorist attacks here and abroad, due to the demands associated with the current global threat environment.  Aerostats and free flying drones proved very valuable in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and thus are expected to be an increasing military priority in the coming years as they are able to provide lower cost and safer ISR and communications. The military has transformed into a smaller, more agile fighting force in need of a network of technologies to provide improved observation, communication and precision targeting of combat troop locations, which are often embedded in dense population centers or dispersed in remote locations.  Our products are intended to provide critical observation and communications capabilities serving the increased demand for ISR and communications, including real-time tactical reconnaissance, tracking, combat assessment and geographic data, while reducing the risks to our troops in theatre.  The ability to observe adversaries on a continuous basis in all manner of locations with high-resolution cameras, sensors and other electronic equipment and enhance communication among our troops remain critical needs for our military.  Finally, in a highly constrained fiscal environment, the typically lower acquisition and use/maintenance costs of LTA aerostats and tethered drones make them more appealing when compared to their heavier than air manned or larger LTA unmanned system alternatives.
 
The markets for LTAS systems on a stand-alone basis and/or combined with other payloads relates to the following applications, among others:
 
Government:
 
  International, Federal, state and local governments as well as US and foreign government agencies, including DoD, DEA, Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol, EPA, State Department, FEMA, Transportation, Penitentiary, Police;
  Military;
  Intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance;
  Border security monitoring;
  Drug enforcement;
  Monitoring environmental pollution and sampling air emissions; and
  Traffic monitoring.
 
Commercial Applications :
 
  Mobile communications system;
  ISR platform;
  Agriculture monitoring
  Security for large events
  Natural disaster instant infrastructure;
  Oil pipeline monitoring and exploration; and
  Atmospheric and climate research.

LTAS’s mast business is focused on producing unique mast-based surveillance systems that offer increased capability at a low industry cost.  The potential markets for LTAS’s mast products include mobile border patrol, perimeter security, crowd management, emergency incident response situational awareness, communications relay, repeater and primary antenna array, check points, and port security.  LTAS currently has various customers utilizing its mast products in both the government and commercial markets.
 
 
Competition
 
We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets for the LTAS aerostat systems include product performance, features, acquisition cost, lifetime operating cost, including maintenance and support, ease of use, integration with existing equipment, size, mobility, quality, reliability, customer support, brand and reputation.  
We believe the current market competitors to the BiB and WASP aerostat systems include a large number of not only small “mom and pop” tethered aerostat and balloon companies but large defense contractors, among them: TCOM, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, ISL, Compass Systems, Raven Aerostar and American Blimp Corporation.  We believe there are numerous competitors for LTAS mast systems including Netvision and Wanco.
 
Many of LTAS’s competitors have received considerable funding from government or government-related sources to develop and build LTA aerostats.  Most of these organizations and many of LTAS’s other competitors have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and sales resources and capabilities than we do. We anticipate increasing competition as a result of defense industry consolidation, which has enabled companies to enhance their competitive position and ability to compete against us.  In addition, other companies may introduce competing aerostats or solutions based on alternative technologies that may adversely affect the competitive position of LTAS.  As a result, LTAS’s products may become less or non-competitive or obsolete.

Technology, Research and Development
 
The development, commercialization and construction of the BiB and WASP aerostat systems, masts and tethered drone program are done in-house.
 
The research and development efforts of LTAS are largely focused on the tethered drone systems and aerostat systems.  LTAS has developed a “non-military spec” BiB system for use in more commercial or governmental applications not requiring the level of durability and ruggedness of the current militarized model and LTAS continues to work on different models with different payloads for various applications.
 
The LTAS tethered drones are currently under development and can be integrated with any of our aerostat systems as well as our mast systems. The concept of the tethered drone systems is built on the strength of our years of developing tethered solutions for our aerostat products and combining that with the advantages of single and multi-rotor copters. The end result is a robust capability designed to be used in almost all weather environments and controlled with the push of a button. The LTAS tethered drones are being designed to take off, hover and land via remote control while being connected by a unique tether technology where all data, controls and endurance are built into the tether. The same components and systems that LTAS’s military customers rely on in its launcher systems are being incorporated into the self-contained LTAS copter system in order to produce a unique heavier-than-air, tethered product offering.

Partners
 
LTAS has several agreements with partners to assist it with the marketing and sales of various products, as it currently has limited in-house sales capabilities. LTAS has several distributors both here and abroad for its products as well.
 
Intellectual Property
 
LTAS’s success and ability to compete depends in part on its ability to develop and maintain its intellectual property and proprietary technology and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. As the development of the tethered drone and aerostat systems continues, it is expected that LTAS will rely on patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions. Trademark registration on the name Blimp in a Box has also been filed and issued.  In certain cases, when appropriate, LTAS opts to protect its intellectual property through trade secrets as opposed to filing for patent protection in order to preserve confidentiality.  All of LTAS employees are subject to non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain its proprietary rights.

Dependence on a Few Customers and Regulatory Matters

We anticipate that the majority of LTAS’s revenue at least in the foreseeable future will come from U.S. government and government-related entities, including both the DoD and other departments and agencies.  Government programs that LTAS may seek to participate in must compete with other programs for consideration during Congress’s budget and appropriations hearings, and may be affected by changes not only in political power and appointments but also general economic conditions and other factors beyond its control.  Reductions, extensions or terminations in a program that LTAS is seeking to participate in or overall defense spending could adversely affect its ability to generate revenues and realize any profits.  We cannot predict whether potential changes in security, defense and intelligence priorities will afford opportunities for LTAS’s business in terms of research and development or product contracts, but any reduction in government spending on such programs could negatively impact its ability to generate revenues.
 
LTAS has registered as a contractor with the U.S. Government and is required to comply with and will be affected by laws and regulations relating to the award, administration and performance of U.S. contracts.  Government contract laws and regulations affect how LTAS will do business with customers, and in some instances, will impose added costs on its business.  A violation of specific laws and regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties, the termination of any then existing contracts or the inability to bid on future contracts.
 
Since LTAS systems are tethered to the ground they comply with regulations enforced by the FAA, which currently does not allow any untethered flights by free flying UAS in commercial airspace in the U.S. without prior FAA clearance certifications or an FAA Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) that are difficult and time-consuming to obtain.
 
International sales of our products may also be subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies like the United States Department of State restrictions on the transfer of technology, ITAR and other export laws and regulations and may be subject to first obtaining licenses, clearances or authorizations from various regulatory entities.   This may limit our ability to sell our products abroad and the failure to comply with any of these regulations could adversely affect its ability to conduct business and generate revenues as well as increasing its operating costs.  Our products may also be subject to regulation by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Federal Communications Commission that regulate wireless communications.

Sources and Availability of Components
 
Certain materials and equipment for our products are custom made for those products and are dependent upon either a single or limited number of suppliers. Failure of a supplier could cause delays in delivery of the products if another supplier cannot promptly be found or if the quality of such replacement supplier’s components is inferior or unacceptable.

Risk Factors
 
There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals.  If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Drone
 
Product development is a long, expensive and uncertain process.
 
The development of LTA aerostats, tethered drones and mast-based ISR systems is a costly, complex and time-consuming process, and the investment in product development often involves a long wait until a return, if any, is achieved on such investment.  We continue to make significant investments in research and development relating to our aerostats, mast-based ISR systems, and tethered powered drones.  Investments in new technology and processes are inherently speculative. Technical obstacles and challenges we encounter in our research and development process may result in delays in or abandonment of product commercialization, may substantially increase the costs of development, and may negatively affect our results of operations.
 
Successful technical development of our products does not guarantee successful commercialization.
 
We may successfully complete the technical development for one or all of our product development programs, but still fail to develop a commercially successful product for a number of reasons, including among others the following:
 
  failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals for their use;
  prohibitive production costs;
  competing products;
  lack of innovation of the product;
  ineffective distribution and marketing;
  lack of sufficient cooperation from our partners; and
  demonstrations of the products not aligning with or meeting customer needs.
 
Although we have sold our BiB and WASP aerostat systems and various other aerostat and mast-based ISR systems and components, our success in the market for the products we develop will depend largely on our ability to prove our products’ capabilities.  Upon demonstration, our aerostats, tethered drones and mast-based ISR systems may not have the capabilities they were designed to have or that we believed they would have.  Furthermore, even if we do successfully demonstrate our products’ capabilities, potential customers may be more comfortable doing business with a larger, more established, more proven company than us. Moreover, competing products may prevent us from gaining wide market acceptance of our products.  Significant revenue from new product investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all.
 
Our potential customers are likely to be government or government-related entities that are subject to appropriations by Congress and reduced funding for defense procurement and research and development programs would likely adversely impact our ability to generate revenues.
 
We anticipate that the majority of our revenue (for our aerostats and tethered drone sales) at least in the foreseeable future will come from U.S. government and government-related entities, including both the DoD and other departments and agencies.  Government programs that we may seek to participate in and contracts for aerostats or tethered drones must compete with other programs for consideration during Congress’ budget and appropriations hearings, and may be affected by changes not only in political power and appointments but also general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control.  Reductions, extensions or terminations in a program that we are seeking to participate in or overall defense or other spending could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and realize any profits.  We cannot predict whether potential changes in security, defense, communications and intelligence priorities will afford opportunities for our business in terms of research and development or product contracts, but any reduction in government spending on such programs could negatively impact our ability to generate revenues.

Some of our products may be subject to governmental regulations.

International sales of our products may be subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies like the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and other export laws and regulations and may be subject to first obtaining licenses, clearances or authorizations from various regulatory entities.   If we are not allowed to export our products or the clearance process is burdensome, our ability to generate revenue would be adversely affected.  The failure to comply with any of these regulations could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and generate revenues as well as increasing our operating costs.
 
 
11

 
 
We compete with companies that have significantly more resources than us and already have received government contracts for the development of aerostats and tethered drones.
 
A number of our competitors have received considerable funding from government or government-related sources to develop various aerostats and tethered drones.  Most of these organizations and many of our other competitors have greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and sales resources and capabilities than we do.  Our products will compete not only with other tethered aerostats, but also with heavier-than-air fixed wing aircraft, manned aircraft, communications satellites and balloons.  We anticipate increasing competition as a result of defense industry consolidation, which has enabled companies to enhance their competitive position and ability to compete against us.  In addition, other companies may introduce competing aerostats or solutions based on alternative technologies that may adversely affect our competitive position.  As a result, our products may become less or non-competitive or obsolete.  If we are not able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, we may fail to generate revenues and our financial condition would be adversely affected.
  
We may pursue strategic transactions in the future, which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.
 
We intend to consider potential strategic transactions, which could involve acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets, joint ventures or investments in businesses, products or technologies that expand, complement or otherwise relate to our current or future business. We may also consider, from time to time, opportunities to engage in joint ventures or other business collaborations with third parties to address particular market segments. These activities create risks such as among others: (i) the need to integrate and manage the businesses and products acquired with our own business and products, (ii) additional demands on our resources, systems, procedures and controls, (iii) disruption of our ongoing business, and (iv) diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Moreover, these transactions could involve: (a) substantial investment of funds or financings by issuance of debt or equity securities; (b) substantial investment with respect to technology transfers and operational integration; and (c) the acquisition or disposition of product lines or businesses. Also, such activities could result in one-time charges and expenses and have the potential to either dilute the interests of existing shareholders or result in the issuance of, or assumption of debt. Such acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other business collaborations may involve significant commitments of financial and other resources of our company. Any such activity may not be successful in generating revenue, income or other returns to us, and the resources committed to such activities will not be available to us for other purposes. Moreover, if we are unable to access capital markets on acceptable terms or at all, we may not be able to consummate acquisitions, or may have to do so on the basis of a less than optimal capital structure. Our inability: (i) to take advantage of growth opportunities for our business or for our products, or (ii) to address risks associated with acquisitions or investments in businesses, may negatively affect our operating results. Additionally, any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets acquired in an acquisition or in an investment, or charges to earnings associated with any acquisition or investment activity, may materially reduce our earnings.   These future acquisitions or joint ventures may not result in their anticipated benefits and we may not be able to properly integrate acquired products, technologies or businesses, with our existing products and operations or combine personnel and cultures.  Failure to do so could deprive us of the intended benefits of those acquisitions.

If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose our ability to compete in the marketplace.
 
Our intellectual property and proprietary rights are important to our ability to remain competitive and for the success of our products and our business. Patent protection can be limited and not all intellectual property is or can be patented. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements and procedures, non-compete agreements and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property, other proprietary rights and our brand.  We have little protection when we must rely on trade secrets and nondisclosure agreements.   Our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by employees or competitors. Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop technologies and products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies and/or products, which could result in decreased revenues.  Moreover, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights which could result in substantial costs to us and substantial diversion of management attention. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitors could use it to enhance their products.  Our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and financial condition, and the value of our brand and other intangible assets.
 
 
12

 
  
Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property, which could materially increase our costs and harm our ability to generate future revenue and profit.
 
We do not believe our product technologies infringe the proprietary rights of any third party, but claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common and third parties may assert infringement claims against us.  It may be difficult or impossible to identify, prior to receipt of notice from a third party, the trade secrets, patent position or other intellectual property rights of a third party, either in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Any such assertion may result in litigation or may require us to obtain a license for the intellectual property rights of third parties.  If we are required to obtain licenses to use any third party technology, we would have to pay royalties, which may significantly reduce any profit on our products.  In addition, any such litigation could be expensive and disruptive to our ability to generate revenue or enter into new market opportunities.  If any of our products were found to infringe other parties’ proprietary rights and we are unable to come to terms regarding a license with such parties, we may be forced to modify our products to make them non-infringing or to cease production of such products altogether.
 
The nature of our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity.
 
We develop and sell products where insurance or indemnification may not be available, including:
 
 
·
Designing and developing products using advanced and unproven technologies and aerostats and tethered drones in intelligence and homeland security applications that are intended to operate in high demand, high risk situations; and
 
 
·
Designing and developing products to collect, distribute and analyze various types of information.
 
Failure of certain of our products could result in loss of life or property damage.  Certain products may raise questions with respect to issues of civil liberties, intellectual property, trespass, conversion and similar concepts, which may raise new legal issues.  Indemnification to cover potential claims or liabilities resulting from a failure of technologies developed or deployed may be available in certain circumstances but not in others.  We are not able to maintain insurance to protect against all operational risks and uncertainties.   Substantial claims resulting from an accident, failure of our product, or liability arising from our products in excess of any indemnity or insurance coverage (or for which indemnity or insurance is not available or was not obtained) could harm our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results.  Any accident, even if fully covered or insured, could negatively affect our reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively.
 
If we are unable to recruit and retain key management, technical and sales personnel, our business would be negatively affected.
 
For our business to be successful, we need to attract and retain highly qualified technical, management and sales personnel. The failure to recruit additional key personnel when needed with specific qualifications and on acceptable terms or to retain good relationships with our partners might impede our ability to continue to develop, commercialize and sell our products.  To the extent the demand for skilled personnel exceeds supply, we could experience higher labor, recruiting and training costs in order to attract and retain such employees.  The loss of any members of our management team may also delay or impair achievement of our business objectives and result in business disruptions due to the time needed for their replacements to be recruited and become familiar with our business.  We face competition for qualified personnel from other companies with significantly more resources available to them and thus may not be able to attract the level of personnel needed for our business to succeed.

 
13

 

 
Economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide could adversely affect our revenues.
 
Our revenues and operating results depend on the overall demand for our technologies and services. If the U.S. and worldwide economies continue to weaken, either alone or in tandem with other factors beyond our control (including war, political unrest, shifts in market demand for our services, actions by competitors, etc.), we may not be able to maintain or expand the growth of our revenue.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES,
RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

The undersigned, Chief Financial Officer of Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by unanimous written consent on June 3, 2014;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation, in such series and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors; and
 
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series.
 
        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

Section 1.   Designation and Authorized Shares .  The Corporation shall be authorized to issue Thirty Six Million Fifty Thousand (36,050,000) shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).

Section 2.   Stated Value .  Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $0.0001 per share (the “Stated Value”).

Section 3.   Liquidation .

(a)   Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value.  All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference), (ii) the Corporation’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and (iii) the Corporation's Common Stock and not before any payment to the Corporation’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the  Series D Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full.

(b)   Upon the completion of the distribution required by subparagraph (a) of this Section 3 and the distribution to holders of any other of the Corporation’s securities which entitles them to a preferential payment over the Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in any distribution made to the holders of Common Stock, on an “as-converted basis”, along with any other holders who are entitled to such distribution, on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held at the time of such distribution.  For the avoidance of doubt, holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any payment or distribution in connection with any payments made to holders of the Corporation’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, including pursuant to Section 3 of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

(c)   Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible.  Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 4.   Voting .  Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each share of Series D Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the conversion limitations set forth in Section 5 herein.  Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.

Section 5.   Conversion .

(a)   Conversion Right.   Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock may, from time to time, convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to one (1) of the Corporation’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for each one (1) share of Series D Preferred Stock surrendered.
 
(b)   Conversion Procedure.   In order to exercise the conversion privilege under this Section 5, the holder of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series D Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice (the “Conversion Notice”, and such date of delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Corporation, the “Conversion Notice Delivery Date”). Within three (3) business days following the Conversion Notice Delivery Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to this Section 5 (the “Share Delivery Date”).  In case of conversion under this Section 5 of only a part of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock which have not been converted, upon receipt of the original certificate or certificates representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted.  Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock which have been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.
 
 
4

 

(c)            Maximum Conversion .
 
(i)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) more than 3.33% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
 
(ii)  
By written notice to the Corporation, any holder of Series D Preferred Stock may increase or decrease the 3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 4.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such holder of Series D Preferred Stock sending such notice and not to any other holder of Series D Preferred Stock; provided further, that the Corporation acknowledges that, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date hereof, some holders of Series D Preferred Stock have elected to have the 3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to initially be 4.99%.
 
(iii)  
For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder of Series D Preferred Stock may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q,  Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (3) any other notice by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a holder of Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series D Preferred Stock, held by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported, which in any event are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock within sixty (60) days’ of such calculation and which are not subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(d) Buy-In.   If, by the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, and after such Share Delivery Date, the converting holder purchases, in an arm’s length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the converting holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such converting holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the converting holder shall have the right to require the Corporation to pay to the converting holder the Buy-In Adjustment Amount.  The Corporation shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the converting holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the converting holder. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the term “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” means the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the converting holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares associated with a Buy-In, over (ii) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the converting holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the converting holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In, with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Corporation will be required to pay to the converting holder will be $1,000.
 
Section 6.   Other Provisions.
 
(a)   Reservation of Common Stock .  The Corporation shall at all times reserve from its authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for conversion of all Series D Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.

(b)   Record Holders .  The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series D Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 7.   Restriction and Limitations .  Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series D Preferred Stock.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES,
RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES E CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

The undersigned, Chief Financial Officer of Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by unanimous written consent on June 3, 2014;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation, in such series and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors; and
 
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series;
 
        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

Section 1.   Designation and Authorized Shares .  The Corporation shall be authorized to issue Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand (2,700,000) shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”).

Section 2.   Stated Value .  Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $0.0001 per share (the “Stated Value”).

Section 3.   Liquidation .

(a)   Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value.  All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series E Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) and (ii) the Corporation's Common Stock.  If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the  Series E Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full.
 
 
3

 

(b)   Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible.  Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 4.   Voting .  Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each share of Series E Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the conversion limitations set forth in Section 5 herein.  Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.

Section 5.   Conversion .

(a)   Conversion Right.   Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock may, from time to time, convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series E Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) in an amount equal to one (1) share of Common Stock for each one (1) share of Series E Preferred Stock surrendered.
 
(b)   Conversion Procedure.   In order to exercise the conversion privilege under this Section 5, the holder of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series E Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice (the “Conversion Notice”, and such date of delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Corporation, the “Conversion Notice Delivery Date”). Within three (3) business days following the Conversion Notice Delivery Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to this Section 5 (the “Share Delivery Date”).  In case of conversion under this Section 5 of only a part of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock which have not been converted, upon receipt of the original certificate or certificates representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock so converted.  Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock which have been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series E Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been converted. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.
 
 
4

 

(c)            Maximum Conversion .
 
(i)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) more than 3.33% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
 
(ii)  
By written notice to the Corporation, any holder of Series E Preferred Stock may increase or decrease the 3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 4.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such holder of Series E Preferred Stock sending such notice and not to any other holder of Series E Preferred Stock; provided further, that the Corporation acknowledges that, notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date hereof, some holders of Series E Preferred Stock have elected to have the 3.33% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to initially be 4.99%.
 
(iii)  
For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder of Series E Preferred Stock may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q,  Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (3) any other notice by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a holder of Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series E Preferred Stock, held by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported, which in any event are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock within sixty (60) days’ of such calculation and which are not subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
 
 
 
5

 
 
(d) Buy-In.   If, by the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, and after such Share Delivery Date, the converting holder purchases, in an arm’s length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the converting holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such converting holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the converting holder shall have the right to require the Corporation to pay to the converting holder the Buy-In Adjustment Amount.  The Corporation shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the converting holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the converting holder. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the term “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” means the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the converting holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares associated with a Buy-In, over (ii) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the converting holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the converting holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In, with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Corporation will be required to pay to the converting holder will be $1,000.
 
Section 6.   Other Provisions.
 
(a)   Reservation of Common Stock .  The Corporation shall at all times reserve from its authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for conversion of all Series E Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.

(b)   Record Holders .  The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series E Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 7.   Restriction and Limitations .  Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series E Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series E Preferred Stock.

Section 8.   Certain Adjustments .
 
(a)   Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Series E Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall receive such consideration as if such number of shares of Series E Preferred had been, immediately prior to such foregoing dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which it could convert at such time.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
 
6

 

(b)   Favored Nations Provision.   For a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance of Series E Preferred Stock, other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock, (ii) the Corporation’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the holders, (iii) the Corporation’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the stockholders and a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Corporation or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of issuance, (iv) the Corporation’s issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of issuance of Series E Preferred Stock,  (v) an issuance by the Corporation of securities resulting from the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock or upon exercise of warrants issued in connection with  the Series E Preferred Stock, (vi) the Corporation’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by a majority in amount of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock held as of the date of approval (“ Holder Consent ”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Corporation by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “ Excepted Issuances ”), if at any time the Corporation shall  issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.50 per share, being the per share price of the Series E Preferred Stock  hereunder or as in effect at such time, without Holder Consent (the “ Lower Price Issuance ”), then the Corporation shall issue the holder such number of additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock to reflect such lower price for the shares of Series E Preferred Stock such that the holder shall hold such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock in total, had holder paid a per share price equal to the Lower Price Issuance.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Corporation for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  The rights of holders set forth in this Section 8(b) are in addition to any other rights the holders have pursuant to this Certificate of Designation, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which holders and Corporation are parties.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.
 

Section 9.   Equal Treatment of Holders .  No consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of holders of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each holder by the Corporation and negotiated separately by each holder, and is intended for the Corporation to treat all holders of the Series E Preferred Stock as a class and shall not in any way be construed as such holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Series E Preferred Stock or otherwise.

SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
 
This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of June 3, 2014, is by and among Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “ Parent ”), Drone Aviation Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”) and the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ” and each a “ Shareholder ”).  Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “ Party ” and collectively as the “ Parties .”
 
BACKGROUND

The Company has 44,100,000 shares of common stock (the “ Company Shares ”) outstanding, all of which are held by the Shareholders.  The Shareholders have agreed to transfer the Company Shares in exchange for an aggregate of Forty Four Million One Hundred Thousand (44,100,000) newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Parent ( the “ Parent Common Stock ”), except that Shareholders who, as a result of receiving the Company Shares would hold in excess of 3% of the Parent’s issued and outstanding common stock on a post-Closing (as defined below) basis, may elect, in its sole discretion by checking the applicable box on the signature page hereto, to receive shares of the Parent’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, with such rights, preferences and designations as are set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Parent Preferred Stock , and collectively with the Parent Common Stock, the “ Parent Stock ”).
 
The exchange of Company Shares for Parent Stock is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), or such other tax free reorganization or restructuring provisions as may be available under the Code.
 
The Board of Directors of each of the Parent and the Company has determined that it is desirable to affect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.
 
On May 5, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “ LTAS Share Exchange Agreement ”) with Lighter Than Air Systems Corp (“ LTAS ”) and the sole shareholder of LTAS pursuant to which all of the outstanding capital of LTAS was transferred to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock, causing LTAS to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Under the LTAS Share Exchange Agreement, LTAS made representations and warranties to the Company which LTAS acknowledges that the Parent shall be entitled to rely upon as a third party beneficiary thereof as of the date such representations and warranties were made.
 
AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.01.   (a)            Exchange by the Shareholders .  At the Closing (as defined in Section 1.02), the Shareholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Parent all of the Company Shares free and clear of all Liens in exchange for (i) an aggregate of Forty Four Million One Hundred Thousand (44,100,000) shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock in such amounts and in such denominations as set forth on Exhibit B , attached hereto.
 
SECTION 1.02.   Closing .  The closing (the “ Closing ”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “ Transactions ”) shall take place at such location to be determined by the Company and Parent, commencing upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions and obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions and obligations with respect to the actions that the respective Parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “ Closing Date ”).
 
ARTICLE II

Each Shareholder individually, and not on behalf of any other Shareholder, hereby represents and warrants to the Parent, as follows:
 
SECTION 2.01.   Good Title .  The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good and marketable title to its Company Shares with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Company Shares to Parent as provided herein.  The Shareholder owns the Company Shares free and clear of any and all Liens, claims, encumbrances, preemptive rights, right of first refusal and adverse interests of any kind.  Upon registering of the Parent as the new owner of such Company Shares in the share register of the Company, the Parent will receive good title to such Company Shares, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, equities and claims of any kind, voting trusts, shareholder agreements and other encumbrances (collectively, “ Liens ”).
 
SECTION 2.02.   Power and Authority .  All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws of general applicability and to general principles of equity.
 
 
 
1

 
 
SECTION 2.03.   No Conflicts .  The Shareholder has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and otherwise to carry out the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder.  No consent, approval or agreement of any individual or entity is required to be obtained by the Shareholder in connection with the execution and performance by the Shareholder of this Agreement or the execution and performance by the Shareholder of any agreements, instruments or other obligations entered into in connection with this Agreement.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (i) will not require the consent of any third party or any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (“ Governmental Entity ”) under any statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees (collectively, “ Laws ”); (ii) to such Shareholder’s knowledge, will not violate any Laws applicable to such Shareholder; and (iii) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which such Shareholder is a party.
 
SECTION 2.04.   No Finder’s Fee .  The Shareholder has not created any obligation for any finder’s, investment banker’s or broker’s fee in connection with the Transactions that the Company or the Parent will be responsible for.
 
SECTION 2.05.   Purchase Entirely for Own Account.   The Parent Stock proposed to be acquired by the Shareholder hereunder will be acquired for investment for his own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Parent Stock, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

SECTION 2.08.   Restricted Securities . The Shareholder understands that the shares of Parent Stock are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Parent Stock would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering.  The Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Parent Stock is issued to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Parent Stock may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.  The Shareholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
 
SECTION 2.09.   Legends .  It is understood that the shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Preferred Stock and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Parent Preferred Stock will bear the following legend or another legend that is similar to the following:
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

With respect to the activities described in Paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, the restrictions of this Section 9 shall continue during the Employment Period and, upon termination of the Executive’s employment for a period of one (1) year thereafter.

11.   Section 409A .
 
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and any final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“ Section 409A ”) and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  The Corporation and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.
 
Each installment payable hereunder shall constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).  Each payment that is made within the terms of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) is intended to meet the “short-term deferral” rule.  Each other payment is intended to be a payment upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), et. seq., to the maximum extent permitted by that regulation, with any amount that is not exempt from Code Section 409A being subject to Code Section 409A.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the severance and benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and any other severance payments or separation benefits which may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”), which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined herein) may be made within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Any portion of the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits in excess of the Section 409A Limit otherwise due to Executive on or within the six (6) month period following Executive’s termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in one lump sum cash payment on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment.  All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s termination date, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean a sum equal (x) to the amounts payable prior to March 15 following the year in which Executive terminations plus (y) the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Corporation’s taxable year preceding the Corporation’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any IRS guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.
 
12.   Miscellaneous.
 
a.   The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him under the provisions of this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be difficult or impossible to replace such services. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement shall entitle the Corporation, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach. The parties understand and intend that each restriction agreed to by the Executive hereinabove shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other restriction, that the unenforceability of any restriction shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other restriction, and that one or more or all of such restrictions may be enforced in whole or in part as the circumstances warrant. In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. The remedy of injunctive relief herein set forth shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that the Corporation may have at law or in equity.

Exhibit 10.4
 
DRONE AVIATION HOLDING CORP.
 
DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
 
This Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement, dated as of this [__] day of [___] 2014 (this “Agreement” ), is made by and between Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” ), and [___] (the “Indemnitee” ).
 
RECITALS:
 
A.           Chapter 78.115 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that the business and affairs of a corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its board of directors.
 
B.           By virtue of the managerial prerogatives vested in the directors and officers of a Nevada corporation, directors and officers act as fiduciaries of the corporation and its stockholders.
 
C.           Thus, it is critically important to the Company and its stockholders that the Company be able to attract and retain the most capable persons reasonably available to serve as directors and officers of the Company.
 
D.           In recognition of the need for corporations to be able to induce capable and responsible persons to accept positions in corporate management, Nevada law authorizes (and in some instances requires) corporations to indemnify their directors and officers, and further authorizes corporations to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of their directors and officers.
 
E.           Indemnitee is, or will be, a director and/or officer of the Company and his or her willingness to serve in such capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.
 
F.           Therefore, in recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s service (or continued service) as a director and/or officer of the Company and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of, among other things, any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (collectively, the “Constituent Documents” ), any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board” ) or any change-in-control or business combination transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification and advancement of Expenses to Indemnitee on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement.
 
G.           In light of the considerations referred to in the preceding recitals, it is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.

AGREEMENT:
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.   Certain Definitions .  In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms have the following meanings when used in this Agreement with initial capital letters:

(h)   “Independent Counsel” means a nationally recognized law firm, or a member of a nationally recognized law firm, that is experienced in matters of Nevada corporate law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent:  (i) the Company (or any subsidiary) or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements) or (ii) any other named (or, as to a threatened matter, reasonably likely to be named) party to the Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(k)   “Standard of Conduct” means the standard for conduct by Indemnitee that is a condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from an Indemnifiable Claim.  The Standard of Conduct is (i) good faith and a reasonable belief by Indemnitee that his action was in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
2.   Indemnification Obligation .  Subject only to Section 7 and to the proviso in this Section, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the laws of the State of Nevada in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with (i) any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Claim, or (ii) the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company acknowledges that the foregoing obligation may be broader than that now provided by applicable law and the Company’s Constituent Documents and intends that it be interpreted consistently with this Section and the recitals to this Agreement.
 
3.   Advancement of Expenses .   Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any and all actual and reasonable Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee.  Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any Standard of Conduct.  Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within five business days after any request by Indemnitee that is accompanied by supporting documentation for specific reasonable Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest, any amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or payable by Indemnitee in respect of Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim.  In connection with any such payment, advancement or reimbursement, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall execute and deliver to the Company an undertaking, which need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses, by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, to repay any amounts paid, advanced or reimbursed by the Company in respect of Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim in respect of which it shall have been determined, following the final disposition of such Indemnifiable Claim and in accordance with Section 7, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

4.   Indemnification for Additional Expenses .   Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all actual and reasonable Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company; provided, however, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then the Indemnitee shall be obligated to repay any such Expenses to the Company; provided further, that, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be, Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) which remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.
 
5.   Partial Indemnity .  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
 
6.   Procedure for Notification .  To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefore, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss.  If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses in accordance with the terms of such policies.  The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, substantially concurrently with the delivery thereof by the Company.  The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and to the extent that such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.

7.    Determination of Right to Indemnification .
 
(a)   To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including, without limitation, dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 7(b)) shall be required.
 
(b)   To the extent that the provisions of Section 7(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable Standard of Conduct (a “Standard of Conduct Determination” ) shall be made as follows:  (i) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, or if a Change in Control shall have occurred but Indemnitee shall have requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i), (A) by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting entirely of Disinterested Directors, or (B) if there is no quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or if a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and (ii) if a Change in Control shall have occurred and Indemnitee shall not have requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to clause (i) above, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
 
(c)   If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Nevada law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 7(b) to have satisfied the applicable Standard of Conduct, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within five business days after the later of (x) the Notification Date in respect of the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted, and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.  Nothing herein is intended to, or shall, dispense with any requirement that Indemnitee meet an applicable Standard of Conduct in order to be indemnified if and to the extent required by applicable law.
 
(d)   If a Standard of Conduct Determination is required to be, but has not been, made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board or a committee of the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  If a Standard of Conduct Determination is required to be, or to have been, made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1(h), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the Person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel.  If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice.  If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections.  If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(d) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 calendar days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7(d) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 7(d), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the district court of the State of Nevada for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person or firm selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel.  In all events, the Company shall pay all of the actual and reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 7(b).

8.   Cooperation .  Indemnitee shall cooperate with reasonable requests of the Company in connection with any Indemnifiable Claim and any individual or firm making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such Person documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to defend the Indemnifiable Claim or make any Standard of Conduct Determination without incurring any unreimbursed cost in connection therewith.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific costs and expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Person defending the Indemnifiable Claim or making such Standard of Conduct Determination.
 
9.   Presumption of Entitlement .  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the Person making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable Standard of Conduct.
 
10.   No Other Presumption .  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable Standard of Conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
 
 
7

 
 
11.   Non-Exclusivity .  The rights of Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, or the substantive laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions” ); provided, however, that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will without further action be deemed to have such greater right hereunder, and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder.  The Company may not, without the consent of Indemnitee, adopt any amendment to any of the Constituent Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.
 
12.     Liability Insurance and Funding .  For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company and for a reasonable period of time thereafter, which such period shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company, and, if applicable, that is substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.  Upon reasonable request, the Company shall provide Indemnitee or his or her counsel with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials.  In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including, without limitation, a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) in renewing or seeking to renew any insurance hereunder, the Company will not be required to expend more than 2.0 times the premium amount of the immediately preceding policy period (equitably adjusted if necessary to reflect differences in policy periods).
 
13.   Subrogation .  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other Persons (other than Indemnitee’s successors), including any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(f).  Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights (all of Indemnitee’s reasonable Expenses, including attorneys’ fees and charges, related thereto to be reimbursed by or, at the option of Indemnitee, advanced by the Company).
 
 
8

 
 
14.   No Duplication of Payments .  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise already actually received payment (net of Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents and Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(f)) in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.
 
15.     Defense of Claims .  Subject to the provisions of applicable policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, if any, the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume or lead the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee determines, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, or (d) Indemnitee has interests in the claim or underlying subject matter that are different from or in addition to those of other Persons against whom the Claim has been made or might reasonably be expected to be made, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Indemnifiable Claim for all indemnitees in Indemnitee’s circumstances) at the Company’s expense.  The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim which the Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim.  Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee.
 
16.   Mutual Acknowledgment .   Both the Company and the Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise.  Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be required in the future to undertake to the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee and, in that event, the Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to that determination.

19.   Governing Law .   The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the district court of the State of Nevada for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, waive all procedural objections to suit in that jurisdiction, including, without limitation, objections as to venue or inconvenience, agree that service in any such action may be made by notice given in accordance with Section 18.

The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of Units that the Subscriber shall thereafter be entitled to receive (including number of shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares the Subscriber may thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Shares or exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be) shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such conversion or exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price then in effect.

3.           THE SUBSCRIBER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
 
Each Subscriber, severally and not jointly, hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:
 
(a)           The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).
 
(b)           The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“ Regulation D ”).  In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:
 
(i)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.
 
(ii)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the Securities Act.
 
(iii)           The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
 
(iv)           The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
 
(v)           The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “ Advisors ”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
 
(vi)           The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
 
(c)           The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.
 
(d)           The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment. Among other things, the Subscriber has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “ Risk Factors ” in the Company’s SEC Filings (as defined below) and any additional disclosures in the nature of Risk Factors described herein.
 
 (e)           The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met.

The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

DRONE AVIATION HOLDING CORP.
Warrant

Date of Issuance: [__], 2014 (“ Issuance Date ”)


DRONE AVIATION HOLDING CORP. , a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, [___], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant (including any Warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the date hereof (the “ Exercisability Date ”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below) the number of shares, subject to adjustment as provided herein, of fully paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) set forth below in Section 1(b) (the “ Warrant Securities ”).  This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “ Subscription Date ”), by and between the Company and the Holder (the “ Subscription Agreement ”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Subscription Agreement.
 
1.             EXERCISE OF WARRANT .
 
 
(a)            Mechanics of Exercise .  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company by no later than two (2) Trading Days of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price in effect on the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Securities as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by delivery of the Exercise Notice to the Company specifying that this Warrant is being exercised as a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d) ).  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Securities shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Securities.  On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile 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 third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (the “ Share 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 Warrant Securities 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 dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Securities with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Securities are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Securities, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Securities represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Securities being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event by no later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d) ) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Securities with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Securities upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b)            Exercise Price .  For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.  The Warrant Securities means [___] ([__]) shares of Common Stock.
 
 
(c)            Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities .  If within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Company shall fail to issue to the Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (or any third party on behalf of such Holder or for the Holder’s account purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s written request and at the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Securities) or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such Warrant Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Securities or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of such Warrant Securities and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Share Delivery Date.

(d)            Cashless Exercise.   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at any time, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “ Net Number ” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
 
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
                                 B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
 
A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

           B = the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

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

(e)            Rule 144 .  For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Securities issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Securities shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
 
(f)            Disputes .  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Securities, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Securities that are not disputed.
 
(g)            Registration of Warrant .  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
(h)            Registration of Transfers .  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

(i)   Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(i) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 1(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, held by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported (taking into account any applicable beneficial ownership limitations contained therein).  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 3.33% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(i), but not in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  Any such increase will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(i) at any time.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
 
2.             ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SECURITIES .  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as applicable, shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)            Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock .  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Securities will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Securities will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)            Favored Nations Provision .  For a period of twenty-four  (24) months from the Issuance Date, other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Holder, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Holder, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the stockholders and a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the Issuance Date, (iv) the Company’s issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Issuance Date (v) an issuance by the Company of securities resulting from the exercise of Warrants or conversion of preferred stock issued in connection with this Warrant, (vi) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by Holders of a majority in amount of the Warrants outstanding as of the date of approval (“Warrant Holder Consent”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Company shall  issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $1.00 per share, or as in effect at such time, without Warrant Holder Consent (the “Lower Price Issuance”), then the Exercise Price of the Warrant shall automatically be reduced to reflect such other lower price and the number of Warrant Securities should be adjusted to reflect such lower price such that the Holder shall hold such number of Warrant Securities, in total, had Holder paid such lower price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  The rights of the Holder set forth in this Section 2(b) are in addition to any other rights the Holder has pursuant to this Warrant, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Holder and Company are parties.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.

(c)            Other Events .  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights or phantom stock rights), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Securities so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Securities as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2 .
 
3.             RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS .

(a)           If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:
 
 
(i)  
Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 2(a) above);

(ii)  
any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend; or

(iii)  
Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(a) above),

then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
 
(b)           Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 , the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Securities or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
 
4.             FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .  Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall assume this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 , including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock or other securities equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Holder.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (including, if the Warrant Securities underlying this Warrant include securities that are convertible or exercisable, had such Warrant Securities been converted or exercised, as applicable, into shares of Common Stock).  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

5.             NON-CIRCUMVENTION .  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith comply with all the provisions of this Warrant and take all actions consistent with effectuating the purposes of this Warrant.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

6.             WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER .  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Securities which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

7.             REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS .

(a)            Transfer of Warrant .  Subject to Section 14 of this Warrant, if this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company and deliver the completed and executed Assignment Form, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d) ), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Securities then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d) ) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities not being transferred.

(b)            Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant .  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d) ) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Securities then underlying this Warrant.
 
(c)            Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants .  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d) ) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Securities as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the original Warrant be subdivided into more than three (3) separate Warrants and such new Warrants shall not be further subdivided.
 
(d)            Issuance of New Warrants .  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Securities then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c) , the Warrant Securities designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock and/or other securities underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Securities then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

10.             GOVERNING LAW .  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.

11.             CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS .  This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.
 
12.             DISPUTE RESOLUTION .  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Securities, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Securities within three Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Securities to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.  The prevailing party in any dispute resolved pursuant to this Section 12 shall be entitled to the full amount of all reasonable expenses, including all costs and fees paid or incurred in good faith, in relation to the resolution of such dispute.  Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

13.             REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.   The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transactions Documents, as applicable, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder may be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.  The issuance of Warrant Securities and certificates for such Warrant Securities as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof.

16.             SEVERABILITY .  If any provision of this Warrant shall be held to be invalid and unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Warrant.
