Notes
Effective as of November 20, 2009, Save
The World Air, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “
Company
”), completed a private
financing of $75,000 principal amount of 7% Convertible Promissory Notes (the
“
Notes
”) and 300,000
Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable at $.30 per share (the “
Warrants
”), pursuant to a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“
Purchase Agreement
”) with 3
accredited investors
(the
“
Note Offering
”),
through Sandgrain Securities, Inc., as placement agent.
Specific Terms of Notes and
Warrants
The Notes are initially convertible
into the Company’s common stock at a price of $.25 per share and accrue interest
at 7% per year with a default rate of 10%, payable quarterly in
cash. Interest payments are payable in stock at the sole discretion
of the Note holders, or, in the event that shares issuable thereon are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Act
”), or otherwise freely
tradable pursuant to Rule 144, at the discretion of the Company as well. The
Notes and any unpaid interest are due and fully payable on September 28,
2012. The conversion price of the Notes are adjustable for corporate
events such as merger, reclassification or stock splits.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, and among other terms, in the event the Company conducts any
subsequent financings (each, a “
Follow On Offering
”) of any
kind other than an offering of securities substantially similar to the Notes and
Warrants or certain other exempted issuances enumerated in the Notes, the Notes
may, at the discretion of each holder thereof, be exchanged in whole
or in part to the extent of outstanding principal and/or interest in such Note,
into the securities offered in the Follow On Offering, by applying and
exchanging the outstanding principal and interest of such Notes towards the
purchase price of the securities offered in such Follow On Offering, at the same
price and terms of the Follow On Offering.
The Warrants issued in connection with
the Note Offering are exercisable commencing six months after the issuance date
until 5:00 p.m., E.S.T on September 29, 2012 at $.30 per share. The
Warrant exercise price is adjustable based on weighted average anti dilution
provisions as set forth in the Warrant.
The Company paid a placement agent fee
to Sandgrain Securities, Inc. of (i) $6,000 in cash, (ii)
24,000 shares of Common Stock
constituting 8% of the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon
exercise of the Notes, and (iii) 24,000 warrants, substantially similar to the
Warrants sold to investors (the “Placement Agent Warrants”),
in
connection with the Note Offering, in addition to legal fees.
Exemption from registration of the
Notes is claimed under Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 promulgated
thereunder, based on, among other things, the representations made
by each of the investors
in the Purchase Agreement that include, among other things, a representation
from each such purchaser that it or he is an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and that such purchases were
not made as part of a general or public solicitation or with a view towards
distribution or resale of securities acquired in the financing.
The foregoing is a summary only of the
Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant, the
forms of each of which are filed herewith as exhibits to this report and, the
provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein.

PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This
Securities Purchase Agreement (“
Agreement
”) is made as of
October __, 2009, by and between Save The World Air, Inc., a company organized
under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “
Company
”), and the purchasers
who execute the Purchaser Signature Page (as hereinafter defined) hereto (each,
a “
Purchaser
”).

S
A. The
Company desires to obtain funds from each Purchaser in order to fund the
Company’s general working capital needs.
B.
In order
to obtain such funds, the Company is borrowing and in exchange therefore issuing
Units (the “
Units
”),
each Unit comprised of (i) an unsecured $25,000 principal amount of 7%
Convertible Promissory Note, initially convertible at $.25 per share (as may be
adjusted from time to time, the “
Conversion Price
”) a form of
which is annexed hereto as
Exhibit
1
, (each a “
Note
,” and
collectively, the “
Notes
”), and (ii) Common Stock
Purchase Warrants, initially exercisable at the $.30 per share, a form of which
is annexed hereto as
Exhibit
2
(the “
Warrants
”). The
Company is offering the Units on a “best efforts, $100,000 minimum principal
amount of Notes, $500,000 maximum principal amount of Notes” basis, wherein a
minimum of 3 Units, representing subscriptions for $75,000 of principal amount
of Notes may be sold, with a maximum of 20 Units for $500,000 of Notes may be
sold (with minimum increments of 1/2 Unit). The Placement Agent (as
hereinafter defined) may exercise its over-allotment option and sell up to an
additional 25% of Notes and Warrants at the sole discretion of the Placement
Agent. The common stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company
(“
Common Stock
”) into
which the Notes are convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the
Conversion Shares, and the shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are
exercisable are sometimes referred to herein as the “
Warrant
Shares
”. The Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares are sometimes referred to herein as the “
Securities
”.
C.
Purchasers
understand that there is a great deal or risk, illiquidity and uncertainty in
the Purchase of the Units herein and that no assurance can be made that the
Company will complete its business plans or, if completed, that it will be
successful in doing so. Purchasers have received and examined that
certain Amended and Restated Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the
Company dated as of October 15, 2009, containing such information as, among
other things, a description of this offering and the Company’s annual report and
most recent quarterly reports (as amended, the “
Information
Memorandum
”).
D.
Placement
Agent and the Company have consented to the appointment of
Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company
as independent Escrow Agent (the “
Escrow Agent
”), pursuant to
the terms of the Escrow Agreement (the “
Escrow Agreement
”) annexed
hereto as
Exhibit
3
. All funds will be held in a non-interest bearing money
market or other account with Escrow Agent. The Purchaser’s
acknowledge and agree that their subscriptions are irrevocable and binding
commitments on the part of the Purchaser and that once their funds have been
tendered to escrow with the appropriate subscription documents and the minimum
offering amount has been raised in accepted funds and subscriptions, the Escrow
Agent may, at the request of the Placement Agent and Company together, disburse
funds from escrow and conduct a Closing without any consent of or notice to
Purchasers. The Placement Agent or Company may reject any
subscriptions in whole or in part for any reason or for no reason and shall
cause the Escrow Agent to return funds to the Purchaser to the extent of such
non accepted funds, or retains the right to hold the same in escrow until
termination of the offering, at which time, any unused subscription funds shall
be returned to Purchaser.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, based on the mutual
premises and consideration of the parties, it is agreed as follows:
1. PURCHASE
AND SALE OF NOTES.
1.1
Purchase and
Sale
. In reliance upon the representations and warranties of
the Company and each Purchaser contained herein and the Information Memorandum
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at Closing (as
hereinafter defined), each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, and the Company
shall sell and issue to each Purchaser, the Units comprised of Notes and
Warrants as set forth on the signature page annexed to the end of this Agreement
(the “
Purchaser Signature
Page
”) at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of Notes being
acquired (the “
Purchase
Price
”) as set forth in
Section 1.2
below. After the initial minimum amount of Units are sold at a
Closing in this offering, the Company may accept additional Purchasers in
Closings held during the Offering Period from time to time without notice to or
consent of any investor, until the maximum offering amount (inclusive of the
overallotment option) is sold hereby.
1.2
Notes and
Warrants
. At Closing, the Company will issue and deliver to
the Purchaser as listed on the Purchaser Signature Page hereto, the (i) Notes
for the principal amount of Notes subscribed for and,
(ii) Warrants to acquire such number of shares of common stock
of the Company (the “
Common
Stock
”) as equals the principal amount of Notes acquired and accepted
divided by the initial Conversion Price of $.25 per share (the “
Warrant Shares
”), and
exercisable at $.30 per share (the “
Exercise Price
”) at any time
prior to the three year anniversary of the first Closing of this
offering.
2. CLOSING.
2.1
Date and
Time
.
(a) The
sale of Notes and Warrants will take place only after the Escrow Agent has
advised of at least $75,000 cleared funds represented by subscriptions accepted
by the Company (the “
Closing
”) subject to the
satisfaction of all the parties hereto of their obligations
herein. The Purchasers shall each submit an executed copy of this
Agreement to the Placement Agent along with the Purchase Price in advance of
Closing which shall be held in escrow by an escrow agent (the “
Escrow Agent
”) appointed by
the Company and Placement Agent. Once $75,000 of subscriptions
acceptable to the Company have been provided during the Offering Period, along
with cleared funds therefore in escrow as advised by the Escrow Agent, the
Closing of the sale of Notes contemplated by this Agreement may take
place. The Closing shall take place at the offices of counsel to the
Company, or at such other place as the Company and the Placement Agent (as
hereinafter defined) shall agree in writing, on or before October 31, 2009,
unless this Offering is extended by the Company for up to a further period of
thirty (30) days ending November 30, 2009 (the “
Termination
Date
”).
(b) Placement
Agent and the Company have consented to the appointment of M&T Bank as
independent Escrow Agent and have all accepted the terms of the
non-interest bearing
Escrow Agreement.
Purchasers will not have an
opportunity to approve of a Closing or request refund of any moneys held in
escrow after a Closing has occurred if such Closing is held during the offering
period.
Purchaser’s acknowledge and agree that their
subscriptions are irrevocable and binding commitments on the part of the
Purchaser and that once their funds have been tendered to escrow with the
appropriate subscription documents and the minimum offering amount has been
raised in accepted funds and subscriptions during the Offering Period, the
Escrow Agent may, at the request of the Placement Agent and Company together,
disburse funds from escrow and conduct a Closing without any consent or notice
to Purchasers. The Placement Agent or Company may reject any
subscriptions in whole or in part for any reason or for no reason and shall
cause the Escrow Agent to return funds (i.e. amounts willfully received net
subscribers banks’ fees) to the Purchaser to the extent of such non accepted
funds, or, retains the right to hold the same in escrow for acceptance or
rejection at a future closing, until termination of the offering, at which time,
any unused subscription funds shall be returned to
Purchaser. Additionally, in the event that the minimum offering
amount of $100,000 in cleared funds representing accepted subscriptions is not
raised by the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall return all funds to the
Purchasers, without deduction.
3. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’

in respect of taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in all material
respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company nor,
to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis for the assessment of any additional
taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal period or audits by any federal,
state or local taxing authority except for any assessment which is not material

inquiry.
3.8

3.11
No Integrated
Offering
. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor
any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any
offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the
Company on
Section
4(2)
for the exemption from registration for the transactions
contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the
Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “
Affiliate
” means, with respect
to any Person, any other Person which directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such
Person.
3.12
Questionable
Payments

any of their respective directors, executive officers, employees, or other
Persons acting at the direction of the Company or any subsidiary, has on behalf

businesses: (i) used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii)
made any direct or indirect unlawful payments to any governmental officials or
employees from corporate funds; (iii) established or maintained any unlawful or
unrecorded fund of corporate monies or other assets; (iv) made any false or
fictitious entries on the books and records of the Company or any subsidiary; or

other unlawful payment of any nature.
3.13

employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the Company’s
Knowledge, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner. The Company will be compensating the Placement Agent a fee
as set forth below in
Section
7
.
3.14
Disclosures
. The
written materials delivered to the Purchasers in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
4. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER.
Each
Purchaser hereby represents warrants and covenants with the Company as
follows. For avoidance of doubt, these warranties and representations
are made to Purchasers and, to both Sandgrain Securities, Inc. and Wellfleet
Partners, Inc., as third party beneficiaries hereto:
4.1
Legal
Power
. Each Purchaser has the requisite individual, corporate,
partnership, limited liability company, trust, or fiduciary power, as
appropriate, and is authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, or trust, to enter into this Agreement, to purchase
the Units hereunder, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the
terms of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
4.2
Due
Execution
. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
have been duly authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, trust or fiduciary, executed and delivered by such
Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement
and such other Transaction Documents will be a valid and binding agreement of
such Purchaser.
4.3
Access to
Information
.
Purchaser has thoroughly reviewed
this Agreement including, without limitation, Information Memorandum Section 3
which discloses certain material information about the Company and Section
6
. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been
given full and complete access to the Company and to all materials relating to
the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to
the offer and sale of the Notes and Warrants and the issuance of Conversion
Shares and/or Warrant Shares upon conversion or exercise thereof, which have
been requested by Purchaser or its advisors. Each Purchaser
represents that such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of, and has inquired with, the officers of the Company regarding its
business prospects and the Notes, all as such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s
qualified representative have found necessary to make an informed investment
decision to purchase the Units. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its advisors or
representatives shall modify, amend or affect purchaser’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The
Purchaser understands that an investment in the Units involves a significant
degree of risk and illiquidity. The Purchaser understands further
that the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares when issued will also be
restricted securities, and may only be re-sold pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act that may or may not be available
at such time, and, that even if the Company is successful and succeeds with its
business plan, no assurance can be made that the securities of the Company will
be liquid or will increase in market price.
4.4
Restricted
Securities
.
4.4.1 Each
Purchaser has been advised that none of the Notes,
Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (collectively, the
“Securities”) have been registered under the Securities Act or any other
applicable securities laws and that Securities are being offered and sold
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D
thereunder or such other exemption as may be available from the Securities Act
registration requirements as may be available from time to time, and that the
Company’s reliance upon Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D is
predicated in part on such Purchaser’s representations as contained
herein. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Notes and Warrants, and
upon conversion or exercise thereof, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares when issued, will be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule
144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. None of the
Securities may be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the
opinion of the Company’s counsel, an applicable exemption from registration is
available.
4.4.2 Each
Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for such
Purchaser’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes
only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as
that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which
would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.
4.4.3 Each
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Notes and Warrants, and if and
when issued, the Conversion Shares, will bear substantially the following
legend:
NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS NOTE NOR THE
SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR
THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID
ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN
CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING
ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
4.4.4 Each
Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in any of the Securities are not
liquid and are transferable only under limited conditions. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that such securities must be held indefinitely unless
they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
such registration is available. Each Purchaser is aware of the

shall issue stock certificates in the name of Purchaser (or its permitted
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Purchaser and in such
denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that
no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the
transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the certificates
representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the usual Securities
Act restriction from transfer legend.

Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the
Note, interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a
completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as “
Exhibit A

Conversion
Date

agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to such Purchaser via express
courier for receipt by such Purchaser within ten (10) business days after
receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (such seventh day being the
"
Delivery

transferable, then delivery of the Shares

for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion of a Note, such Purchaser
hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage attributable
to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due
under the Note.
5.7.3
Delivery of
Shares

upon request of a Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a
legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the
placement of a legend thereon, the Company will undertake commercially
reasonable efforts cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the
Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s prime broker with the

holder shall tender the Note with the duly executed subscription documents
provided to all investors in such Follow On Offering, and a notice indicating
the dollar amount of principal and interest being applied, and the Company
shall, at closing of such Follow On Offering, issue to such holder any
securities acquired by such holder in such offering, and a Note certificate
reflecting the remaining principal and interest owed, if any. In the
event that the holder of the Notes elects not to so convert, such holder may do
so in whole or in part from time to time, until the Note is either repaid or
fully exchanged for securities issued in Follow On Offerings.
5.9

Offering or Follow On Offering of greater than $5,000,000 (together, a “
Qualified
Offering
”), or (ii) the date that is 24 months from the first
Closing of this offering, or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company in a transaction wherein the Notes are being repaid, or
(iv) such time as less than 75% of the aggregate amount of Notes offered hereby
are still outstanding, in the event that the Company conducts a private or other
offering any Common Stock or securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, other than any
Exempted Issuances (each, a “
Subsequent
Placement
”) the Company shall have first complied with this
Section 5.9.
5.9.1 The
Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes (each, a “
Noteholder
”), an irrevocable
confidential written notice (the “
Offer Notice
”) of any proposed
or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “
Offer
”) of the securities
being offered (the “
Offered
Securities
”) in a subsequent placement , which Offer Notice shall (w)
identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other
terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or
amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify
the class or group of persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the
Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to
issue and sell to or exchange with such Noteholders all of the Offered
Securities, allocated among such Noteholders at identical terms and prices as
provided in the Offer Notice (a) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased hereunder (the “
Basic Amount
”), and (b) with
respect to each Noteholders that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any
additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts
of other Noteholders as such Noteholders shall indicate it will purchase or
acquire should the other Noteholders subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts
(the “
Undersubscription
Amount
”) or with a statement from the Noteholders that it will waive any
rights to subscribe for any portion of the Undersubscribed Amount, which process
shall not be repeated after the first offer Notice, and shall be deemed waived
to the extent not duly accepted.
5.9.2 To accept an Offer,
in whole or in part, such accepting Noteholder(s) must deliver a written notice
to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5
th
)
Business Day after such Noteholder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “
Offer Period
”), setting forth
the portion of such Noteholder’s Basic Amount that such Noteholder elects to
purchase and, if such Noteholder shall elect to purchase all of its Basic
Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Noteholder elects to
purchase (in either case, the “
Notice of
Acceptance
”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all
Noteholders are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each
Noteholder who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of
Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts
subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for;
provided, however
, that if
the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the
total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “
Available Undersubscription
Amount
”), each Noteholder who has subscribed for any Undersubscription
Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available
Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Noteholder bears to the
total Basic Amounts of all Noteholders that have subscribed for
Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its
deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and
conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company
may deliver to the Noteholders a new Offer Notice (which shall be deemed to have
replaced and restated the prior Offer Notice) and the Offer Period shall expire
on the fifth (5
th
)
Business Day after such Noteholder’s receipt of such new Offer
Notice. The Noteholder agents and covenants to keep the offer notice
and any transaction terms disclosed therein, completely confidential and further
understands any disclosure of the same (other than to its professional
representatives) may cause improbable harm to the Company.
5.9.3. The
Company shall have 150 calendar days from the later of: (i) the expiration of
the Offer Period above; or (ii) upon the written consent of the Noteholder, such
longer period for which the Offered Securities are being offered to third
parties as part of the Subsequent Placement, to offer, issue, sell or exchange
all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance
has not been given by the Noteholders (the “
Refused Securities
”), to any
offerees (whether disclosed or not) and only upon terms and conditions
(including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not
materially more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or materially less
favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and, to
publicly announce as required the execution of definitive agreements relating to
the closing of the Subsequent Placement and all other related required
disclosure that the Company deems appropriate or necessary in its sole
discretion, and (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such
Subsequent Placement or (y) the termination of definitive agreements relating to
the Subsequent Placement.
5.9.4 In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities
(any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified above), then each
Noteholder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number
or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an
amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered
Securities that such Noteholder elected to purchase pursuant above multiplied by
a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered
Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including
Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Noteholder as set forth above prior
to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original
amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that
any Noteholder so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered
Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue,
sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered
Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the
Noteholder in accordance with this Section 5.9.
5.9.5 Upon the closing of the
issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities,
the Noteholders shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to
the Noteholders, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the
Notices of Acceptance, as reduced under Section 5.9.4 above if the Noteholders
have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Offer. The purchase by the Noteholders of any Offered Securities is
subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company
and the Noteholders of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Noteholders and their
respective counsel.
5.9.6 The Noteholder may,
at its/his discretion, apply outstanding portions of the Note or interest
towards the purchase of any Offered Securities as provided in Section 5 above
with respect to Follow On Offerings, or may utilize new funds. The
Noteholder, at such time, will be required to execute all subscription or other
documents as provided to other investors in such Subsequent Offering in order
exercise its rights under this Section 5.9 and, to the extent the Note is no
longer outstanding (if the Note is used for such purchase) shall not be deemed a
Noteholder subject to the provisions of this Agreement or the Note.
5.9.7 Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no violation, default or breach of this Section
5.9 shall be deemed an Event of Default under the Note.
5.9.8 The
rights of each Subscriber set forth in this Section 5.9 are in addition to any
other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to any Transaction Document, and any
other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which
such Subscriber and Company are parties. The term “
Excepted Issuance
” as used
herein shall mean (i) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalent described in Reports filed not later than five business days before

notes or convertible indebtedness or convertible securities existing or
otherwise disclosed at or before the issuance hereof, (iv) any securities issued
in connection with a bonafide acquisition of a business, intellectual property
or business assets, or exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are

NOTE
FOR VALUE
RECEIVED,
SAVE THE WORLD AIR,
INC.,
a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called “
Borrower
”), hereby promises to
pay to
[ ],
[ ], (the
“
Holder
”) or its
registered assigns or successors in interest or order, without demand, the sum
of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND ($25,0900) (“
Principal Amount
”), with
interest compounded quarterly at the annual rate of seven percent (7%) on
September 28, 2012 (the “
Maturity Date
”), if not sooner
paid.
This Note
has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement
between the Borrower, the Holder and certain other holders (the “
Other Holders
”) of convertible
promissory notes (the “
Other
Notes
”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants, dated of even date herewith
(the “
Subscription
Agreement
”), and shall be governed by the terms of such Subscription
Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all
capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as is set forth
in the Subscription Agreement. The following terms shall apply to
this Note:
ARTICLE
I
INTEREST
1.1.
Interest
Rate
. Interest on this Note shall compound quarterly and
shall accrue at the annual rate of seven percent (7%). Interest will
be payable commencing December 31, 2009 and on the last business day of each
calendar quarter thereafter and on the Maturity Date, accelerated or otherwise,
when the principal and remaining accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and
payable, or sooner as described below. Interest will be payable in
cash, or at the election of the Borrower, and subject to Section 2.2, with
shares of Common Stock at a per share value equal to the Conversion Price set
forth in Section 2.1. Interest may be paid at the Company’s election
in cash, registered Common Stock or Common Stock immediately to the extent
resellable pursuant to Rule 144 without transfer or volume
restrictions.
1.2.
Default Interest
Rate
. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, which, if susceptible to cure is not cured within the cure
periods (if any) set forth in Article III, otherwise then from the first date of
such occurrence until cured, the annual interest rate on this Note shall
(subject to Section 4.7) be Ten Percent (10%), and be due on
demand.
ARTICLE
II
CONVERSION
RIGHTS
2.1.
Holder’s Conversion
Rights
. Subject to Section 2.2, for so long as this Note
remains outstanding and not fully paid, the Holder shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding
Principal Amount of this Note, together with interest, into shares of Common
Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article III, at the
rate of
$0.25 per
share of Common Stock (“
Conversion Price
”), as the
same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note. The Holder may exercise
such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion
pursuant to Section 2.3.
2.2.
Conversion
Limitation
. Neither Holder nor the Borrower may
convert (or in the Borrowers case, cause repayment with stock) on any
date that amount of the Note Principal or interest in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection
with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the
determination of this provision is being made, which would result in beneficial
ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Borrower on such Conversion Date. For
the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited
to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder
may exceed 4.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation
to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.2 will limit
any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the
limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion
of the Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the
Holder. The Holder may waive the conversion limitation described in
this Section 2.2, in whole or in part, upon and effective after 61 days prior
written notice to the Borrower to increase such percentage to up to
9.99%. Once a Holder has waived this limitation, the same shall be
deemed waived for all other future conversions, warrant exercises, or share
issuances by the Holder.
2.3.
Mechanics of Holder’s
Conversion
.
(a) In
the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this
Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by
delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “
Notice of Conversion
”) to the
Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable
detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and amounts being
converted. The original Note is not required to be surrendered to the
Borrower until all sums due under the Note have been paid. On each
Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of
Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal
Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records. Each
date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower
in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion
Date.” A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is
annexed hereto as
Exhibit
A
.
(b) Pursuant
to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to
the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel (if so required by the
Borrower’s transfer agent), to issue the Conversion Shares as provided in the
Subscription Agreement.
2.4.
Adjustments to Conversion
Price
.
(a) The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note
pursuant to
this
Article II
shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal
Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable
Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
any principal or interest is applied towards an investment in a Follow On
Offering, the principal and interest shall entitle the Holder converting the
same to the securities offered in such Follow On Offering at the same
price offered to other investors therein, but shall be entitled to keep the
Warrants.
(b) The
Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued
upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described in
the Subscription Agreement and upon the happening of certain events while this
conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
A.
Merger, Sale of Assets,
etc
. If (A) the Company effects any merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the
Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which
holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for
other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or
more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more
than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or
associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to,
such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "
person
" or "
group
" (as these terms are
used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall
become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act),
directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company
(other than through open market purchases), or (F) the Company effects any
reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property (in any such case, a
"Fundamental Transaction"), this Note, as to the unpaid principal
portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to
evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other
securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account
of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject
to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to
successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or
purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
B.
Reclassification,
etc
. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or
otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of
securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal
portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to
evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and
kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with
respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other
change.
C.
Stock Splits, Combinations
and Dividends
. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a
dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock
dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in
each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(c) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above, the Borrower
shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(d) Nothing
herein shall be deemed a waiver or consent of the Holders to the taking of any
action by the Company set forth in Section 5 of the Subscription
Agreement.
2.5.
Reservation
. During
the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will make best efforts, to
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock not less than
one
hundred and ten percent (
120
%)
of the number of shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the
full conversion of this
Note. Borrower
represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower acknowledges that it may be
required to amend its Articles of Incorporation so as to increase its authorized
capital from time to time in order to satisfy this covenant, and agrees to make
best efforts to make such filings, proxy or information statement distributions,
and obtain such board, shareholder or other third party consents as are
necessary from time to time to maintain the adequate number of Common Stock
reserved and available for issuance.
2.6
Issuance of Replacement
Note
. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a replacement
Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written
request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the
outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not
have been converted or paid, provided Holder has surrendered an original Note to
the Borrower. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a
Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby
indemnifies the Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a
third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the
Note, and the Borrower is hereby expressly authorized to offset any such amounts
mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Holder or pursuant to a judgment in
Borrower’s favor against amounts then due under the Note.
ARTICLE
III
EVENTS
OF DEFAULT
The
occurrence of any of the following events of default (“
Event of Default
”) shall, at
the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of principal and interest then
remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder immediately due

hereby are expressly waived, except as set forth below:

term or condition of the Subscription Agreement in any material respect and such
breach, if subject to cure, continues for a period of ten (10) business days
after written notice to the Borrower from the Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the provisions of Section 2.2 wherein the
Borrower does not have sufficient number of shares available for issuance
pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, then the default shall be
deemed cured at the time of the initial filing of a preliminary information
statement or proxy statement, provided, that the Company makes best efforts to
obtain effectiveness of the same and complete the filing of any Amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation (or amended and restated Articles of Incorporation)
within 45 days thereafter.
3.3

herewith or therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect as of
the Closing Date.

of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or
trustee for them or for a substantial part of their property or business; or

SAVE THE

The number and character of such shares of Common
Stock and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment as provided

not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “
Subscription Agreement
”),
accepted as of November 19, 2009, entered into by the Company and the
Holder.
As used
herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, have the

(a) The

any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in
replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or
otherwise.
(d) The
term “

”
shall mean the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
1.
Exercise of
Warrant
.
1.1.
Number of Shares Issuable
upon Exercise
. From and after the Issue Date through and
including the Expiration Date, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive,
upon exercise of this Warrant in whole in accordance with the terms of
subsection 1.2 or upon exercise of this Warrant in part in accordance with
subsection 1.3, shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 4.
1.2.
Full
Exercise
. This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder
hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription
attached as
Exhibit A
hereto (the “
Subscription
Form
”) duly executed by such Holder and delivery within two days
thereafter of payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank
check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable
by the Purchase Price then in effect. The original Warrant is not
required to be surrendered to the Company until it has been fully
exercised.
1.3.
Partial
Exercise
. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a
fractional share) by delivery of a Subscription Form in the manner and at the
place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the
Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
(a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in
the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in
effect. On any such partial exercise provided the Holder has
surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith
issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by
such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of
shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be
exercised.
1.4.
Fair Market Value
.
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "
Determination Date
") shall
mean:
(a) If
the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the NASDAQ
Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, LLC, OTC Bulletin Board, or
Pink Sheets LLC, then the average of the closing or last sale prices,
respectively, reported for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
Determination Date;
(b) If
the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ Global
Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, LLC, OTC Bulletin Board, or Pink
Sheets LLC, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of
the closing bid and ask prices reported for the ten trading days immediately
preceding the Determination Date;
(c) Except
as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1, if the Company's Common
Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in
the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules
then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single
arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and
training to pass on the matter to be decided with such arbitration to be
conducted in New York City, New York; or
(d) If
the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to
the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of
the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in
respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the
purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the
Determination Date.
1.5.
Company
Acknowledgment
. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the
Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in writing its
continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder
shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford
to such Holder any such rights.
1.6.
Trustee for Warrant
Holders
. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been
appointed as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants pursuant to
Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and
duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its
own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be
entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this
Section 1.
1.7
Delivery of Stock
Certificates, etc. on Exercise
. The Company agrees that the shares of
Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be
issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have
occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter (“
Warrant Share Delivery Date
”),
the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue
taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which
such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional
share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common
Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise
pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company understands that
a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery
Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. The Company shall
not, however, be responsible for any out of pocket or potential lost profits as
a result of a decline in stock price during any delay. Furthermore,
in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant
Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of
the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the
Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion
of this Warrant.
2.
Cashless
Exercise
.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part either in (i) cash, wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company equal to the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the
foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as
such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this
Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of
duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Subject
to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may
elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription
Form in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=
Y (A-B)
A
Where
|
X=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
holder
|
|
Y=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only
a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant
being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
|
|
A=
|
the
average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10)
Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date,
or Fair Market Value, whichever is
less
|
|
B=
|
Purchase
Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
|
For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood
and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding
period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date
this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement.
3.
Adjustment for
Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Subsequent Share Issuances
etc.
3.1.
Fundamental Transaction
.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or
a series of related transactions, (C)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the
Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or
scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other
persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other
persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the
other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or
other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are
used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall
become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act),
directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the
Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to
which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such
case, a "
Fundamental
Transaction
"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that
would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the
Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common
Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the "
Alternate
Consideration
") receivable upon or as a result of
such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event or (b) if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction
where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely
of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934
Act, or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market
or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to the Black-Scholes
Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Purchase Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and
the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. 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 Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise
of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent
necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such
Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a
new warrant consistent with
the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a
Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of
this Section 3.1 and insuring that this Warrant (or any such
replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in
accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to
the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date
of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and
(iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the
HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately
following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction.
3.2.
Dissolution
. In
the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such
dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and
other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by
the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant
to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee") having its
principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the
Warrants. Such property shall be delivered only upon payment of the
Warrant exercise price.
3.3.
Continuation of
Terms
. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable
on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such
transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other
Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as
provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not
continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction
described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the
Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 3.2.
3.4.
Anti-Dilution
.
(a)
Anti
Dilution
. Other than in connection with an Excepted Issuance
(as defined below), if at any time while any part of the Warrants are
outstanding, the Company shall agree to or actually issue or grant the right to
receive any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be
outstanding) (“
Common Stock Equivalent
”) to
any person or entity at a price per share or conversion price or exercise price
per share which shall be less than the Warrant exercise price in respect of the
Warrant Shares then in effect (“
Lower Price Issuance
”),
without the consent of the Holder of such Warrant, then the Warrant exercise
price shall automatically and without further action be reduced to an amount
equal to the product of the Warrant exercise price then in effect multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate purchase price or exercise price for such Common Stock
(plus, if applicable, the aggregate consideration received from the issuance of
the Common Stock Equivalents) would purchase at the then current Warrant
exercise price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance. For so long as a Warrant is outstanding upon the occurrence
of a Lower Price Issuance, the Warrant exercise price shall be reduced to an
amount equal to the product of the Warrant exercise price then in effect
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate purchase price or exercise price for such
Common Stock (plus, if applicable, the aggregate consideration received from the
issuance of the Common Stock Equivalents) would purchase at the then current
Warrant exercise price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance; provided, however, that the Warrant exercise price shall not, as a
result of a Lower Price Issuance, be reduced to below $0.10 per share (but may
be reduced below said amount as a result of stock splits, combinations, mergers
or similar organic changes as provided herein).
(b)
Effective
Price
. For purposes of Section 3.4 in connection with
any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “
Deemed Number
”) shall be
deemed to be outstanding or subscribed for and required to be issued upon
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the deemed issue price (“
Effective Price
”) applicable
to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration
payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert,
exercise or exchange them into Common stock (net of any discounts, fees,
commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed number, and (C) no
further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion exercise or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents if issued at or higher than the Effective
Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no
consideration will be deemed to have been issued or to be issuable for $0.0001
per share of Common Stock.
(c)
Excepted
Issuances
. The rights of each Warrant Holder set forth
in this Section 3.4 are in addition to any other rights the Holder has pursuant
to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to
or entered into in connection herewith or to which such Holder and Company are
parties. For purposes of Section 3.4, “
Excepted Issuance
” shall mean
(i) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent described
in Reports filed not later than five business days before the Closing Date, (ii)
as a result of the conversion of any the Notes or exercise of any of
the Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or any of securities
or warrants issued to the Placement Agent acting in connection with the sale of
these Warrants (including the exercise or conversion of any of the foregoing),
(iii) other notes or convertible indebtedness or convertible securities existing
or otherwise disclosed at or before the issuance hereof, (iv) any securities
issued in connection with a bonafide acquisition of a business, intellectual
property or business assets, or exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes
which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement, or (v) as granted in
connection with any existing board approved stock option, incentive or similar
plan or any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Placement Agent.
4.
Extraordinary Events
Regarding Common Stock
. In the event that the Company shall
(a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive 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 4 be issuable
on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price
that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be in effect, and
(b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such
exercise.
5.
Certificate as to
Adjustments
. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the
Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial
Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the

Holder.
As used

1.
Exercise of
Warrant
.
1.1.

upon Exercise
. From and after the Issue Date through and
including the Expiration Date, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive,

adjustment pursuant to Section 4.
1.2.
Full
Exercise

hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription

Exhibit A
hereto (the “
Subscription
Form
”) duly executed by such Holder and delivery within two days
thereafter of payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank
check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable
by the Purchase Price then in effect. The original Warrant is not
required to be surrendered to the Company until it has been fully
exercised.
1.3.
Partial
Exercise
. This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a
fractional share) by delivery of a Subscription Form in the manner and at the
place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the
Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying
(a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in
the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in
effect. On any such partial exercise provided the Holder has
surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith
issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of
like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by
such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of
shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be
exercised.
1.4.
Fair Market Value
.
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "
Determination Date
") shall
mean:
(a) If
the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the NASDAQ
Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, LLC, OTC Bulletin Board, or
Pink Sheets LLC, then the average of the closing or last sale prices,
respectively, reported for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
Determination Date;
(b) If
the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ Global
Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, LLC, OTC Bulletin Board, or Pink
Sheets LLC, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of
the closing bid and ask prices reported for the ten trading days immediately
preceding the Determination Date;
(c) Except
as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1, if the Company's Common
Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in
the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules
then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single
arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and
training to pass on the matter to be decided with such arbitration to be
conducted in New York City, New York; or
(d) If
the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to
the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of
the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in
respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the
purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the
Determination Date.
1.5.
Company
Acknowledgment
. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the
Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in writing its
continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder
shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request,
such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford
to such Holder any such rights.
1.6.
Trustee for Warrant
Holders
. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been
appointed as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants pursuant to
Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and
duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its
own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be
entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such
successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this
Section 1.
1.7
Delivery of Stock
Certificates, etc. on Exercise
. The Company agrees that the shares of
Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be
issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have
occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable
after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter (“
Warrant Share Delivery Date
”),
the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue
taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a
certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which
such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional
share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common
Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including
cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise
pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise. The Company understands that
a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery
Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. The Company shall
not, however, be responsible for any out of pocket or potential lost profits as
a result of a decline in stock price during any delay. Furthermore,
in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant
Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of
the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the
Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion
of this Warrant.
2.
Cashless
Exercise
.
(a) This
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part either in (i) cash, wire
transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the
Company equal to the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the
foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as
such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this
Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of
duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
(b) Subject
to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may
elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription
Form in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of
Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=
Y (A-B)
A
Where
X= the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder
|
Y=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only
a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant
being exercised (at the date of such
calculation)
|
|
A=
|
the
average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10)
Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date,
or Fair Market Value, whichever is
less
|
|
B=
|
Purchase
Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation)
|
For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood
and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise
transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding
period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date
this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement.
3.
Adjustment for
Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Subsequent Share Issuances
etc.
3.1.
Fundamental Transaction
.
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or
a series of related transactions, (C)
any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the
Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the
Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or
scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other
persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other
persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the
other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or
other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are
used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall
become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act),
directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the
Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange
pursuant to
which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such
case, a "
Fundamental
Transaction
"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this
Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that
would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the
Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common
Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the "
Alternate
Consideration
") receivable upon or as a result of
such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets
by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
event or
(b)
if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction where the
consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash,
(2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act, or
(3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market
or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to the Black-Scholes
Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the
determination of the Purchase Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of
Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and
the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. 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 Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise
of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent
necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such
Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a
new warrant consistent with
the foregoing provisions and evidencing the
Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate
Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a
Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of
this Section 3.1 and insuring that this Warrant (or any such
replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a
Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in
accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to
the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date
of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and
(iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the
HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately
following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction.
3.2.
Dissolution
. In
the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such
dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and
other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by
the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant
to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee") having its
principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the
Warrants. Such property shall be delivered only upon payment of the
Warrant exercise price.
3.3.
Continuation of
Terms
. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this
Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the
terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable
on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such
transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other
Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or
not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as
provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not
continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction
described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's
securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the
Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by
Section 3.2.
3.4.
Anti-Dilution
.
(a)
Anti
Dilution
. Other than in connection with an Excepted Issuance
(as defined below), if at any time while any part of the Warrants are
outstanding, the Company shall agree to or actually issue or grant the right to
receive any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be
outstanding) (“
Common Stock Equivalent
”) to
any person or entity at a price per share or conversion price or exercise price
per share which shall be less than the Warrant exercise price in respect of the
Warrant Shares then in effect (“
Lower Price Issuance
”),
without the consent of the Holder of such Warrant, then the Warrant exercise
price shall automatically and without further action be reduced to an amount
equal to the product of the Warrant exercise price then in effect multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate purchase price or exercise price for such Common Stock
(plus, if applicable, the aggregate consideration received from the issuance of
the Common Stock Equivalents) would purchase at the then current Warrant
exercise price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance. For so long as a Warrant is outstanding upon the occurrence
of a Lower Price Issuance, the Warrant exercise price shall be reduced to an
amount equal to the product of the Warrant exercise price then in effect
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate purchase price or exercise price for such
Common Stock (plus, if applicable, the aggregate consideration received from the
issuance of the Common Stock Equivalents) would purchase at the then current
Warrant exercise price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such
issuance; provided, however, that the Warrant exercise price shall not, as a
result of a Lower Price Issuance, be reduced to below $0.10 per share (but may
be reduced below said amount as a result of stock splits, combinations, mergers
or similar organic changes as provided herein).
(b)
Effective
Price
. For purposes of Section 3.4 in connection with
any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “
Deemed Number
”) shall be
deemed to be outstanding or subscribed for and required to be issued upon
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the deemed issue price (“
Effective Price
”) applicable
to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration
payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert,
exercise or exchange them into Common stock (net of any discounts, fees,
commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed number, and (C) no
further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual
issuance of Common Stock upon conversion exercise or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents if issued at or higher than the Effective
Price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no
consideration will be deemed to have been issued or to be issuable for $0.0001
per share of Common Stock.
(c)
Excepted
Issuances
. The rights of each Warrant Holder set forth
in this Section 3.4 are in addition to any other rights the Holder has pursuant
to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to
or entered into in connection herewith or to which such Holder and Company are
parties. For purposes of Section 3.4, “
Excepted Issuance
” shall mean
(i) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent described
in Reports filed not later than five business days before the Closing Date, (ii)
as a result of the conversion of any the Notes or exercise of any of
the Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or any of securities
or warrants issued to the Placement Agent acting in connection with the sale of
these Warrants (including the exercise or conversion of any of the foregoing),
(iii) other notes or convertible indebtedness or convertible securities existing
or otherwise disclosed at or before the issuance hereof, (iv) any securities
issued in connection with a bonafide acquisition of a business, intellectual
property or business assets, or exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes
which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement, or (v) as granted in
connection with any existing board approved stock option, incentive or similar
plan or any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
and the Placement Agent.
4.
Extraordinary Events
Regarding Common Stock
. In the event that the Company shall
(a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such
event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The
Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive 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 4 be issuable
on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price
that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be in effect, and
(b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such
exercise.
5.
Certificate as to
Adjustments
. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the
Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial
Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued
or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities)
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the
number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant,
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted
or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a
copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent
of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
6.
Reservation of Stock, etc.
Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial

Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time

10.
Maximum
Exercise
. The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this
Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise
date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this
limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial
ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock on such date. For the purposes of the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities 1934 Act , and Rule

Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in
excess of 9.99%. The Holder may decide whether to convert a

9.99% ownership position as described above, but not in excess of
9.99%.
