Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

    On June 30, 2015, DynaResource, Inc. (“the Company”) closed a financing agreement with Golden Post Rail, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Golden Post”). A summary of the transaction with Golden Post is set forth below:

  1. Pursuant to the May 6, 2015 Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) among the Company, Golden Post Rail, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Golden Post”) and Mr. Koy W. (“K.D.”) Diepholz, Chairman-CEO of the Company, Golden Post acquired the following securities:
a) 1,600,000 shares of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) at a purchase price of $2.50 per share ($4M USD), plus an additional 133,221 shares of Series C Preferred pursuant to anti-dilution provisions. The Series C Preferred is entitled to receive dividends at the per share rate of four percent (4%) per annum, ranks (in priority) senior to the Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, and each other class or series of equity security of the Company. The Series C Preferred is convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the price of $2.50 per share, and is entitled to anti-dilution protection for (i) subsequent equity issuances by the Company and (ii) changes in the Company’s ownership of DynaResource de México SA de CV (“DynaMéxico”). The Series C Preferred is also entitled to preemptive rights, and the holder has the right to designate one person to the Company’s Board of Directors as a Class III director.
b) A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) for the purchase of 2,166,527 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The anti-dilution protections contained in the terms of the Series C Preferred are essentially replicated in the Warrant.
  1. On May 6, 2015, the Company executed a Promissory Note (the “Golden Post Note”) payable to Golden Post in the principal amount of $500,000, and bearing interest at 8%. The principal and accrued interest on the Golden Post Note were credited against amounts payable to the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement described above.
3. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which Golden Post may require the Company to register the shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, including any additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to anti-dilution provisions.

The sale of the Series C Preferred and the Warrant was made pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, the Company believes that the transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The investor represented that it (A) is an “accredited investor” and (B) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the Series C Preferred and the Warrant. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

 

The SPA has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The terms of the Series C Preferred are contained in the Certificate of Designation attached as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 29, 2015, the holder of the Series C Preferred (Golden Post) designated one person to the Company’s Board of Directors; accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified Mr. Phillip Andrew Rose as a Class III director of the Company.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 29, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to reflect two amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, each of which is described in more detail in item 5.07 below.

 

The Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

On June 29, 2015, the Company also filed a Certificate of Designation to reflect the designation of the Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The Certificate of Designation is attached as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The resolutions setting forth the amendments are as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that Article V of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended to date) be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

The Board of Directors shall have the right to fix the number of directors from time to time; provided that the number of Class I Directors shall at all times comprise a majority of the directors and there shall always be at least one Class III Director. The Class I Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class (and to the extent that no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, then the Class I directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class), the Class II Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class, and the Class III Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a single class (and to the extent that no shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, then the Class III directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class).

3.     Cumulative Dividends .

Such dividends shall accrue from day to day commencing on the Initial Issuance Date on the basis of a 365-day year. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares will accrue whether or not the Corporation has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and whether or not such dividends are declared, and such dividends shall be cumulative to the extent not actually paid. The Corporation shall take all actions necessary or advisable under applicable laws to permit the payment of dividends to the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares.

(b) So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay, declare or set aside funds for payment of any dividend (whether in cash or property), or make any other distribution on any Junior Securities, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set aside funds for the payment or redemption of, any Junior Securities (except by conversion into or exchange for other Junior Securities), until full cumulative dividends as set forth in Section 3(a) above on the Series C Preferred Shares shall have been paid or declared and set apart.

(c) In the event dividends or distributions are paid on any Junior Securities, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend or distribution on all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares in a per share amount equal (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis) to the amount paid or set aside for each share of Junior Securities. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Junior Securities. 

4.     Liquidation Preference .

The Liquidation Preference to be paid to the Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares under this Section 4(a) shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Corporation to the holders of Junior Securities in connection with a Liquidation Event.  A Change in Control Transaction shall not, ipso facto , be deemed a Liquidation Event.

(b) After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference, in the case of a Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and the holders of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such Holder or holder, as applicable, treating for this purpose all Series C Preferred Shares as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. The foregoing shall not limit any rights which Holders may have with respect to any requirement that the Corporation repurchase the Series C Preferred Shares or for any right to monetary damages.   

5.     Issuance of Series C Preferred Shares .   The Series C Preferred Shares shall be issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. 

6.     Optional Conversion by the Holders .   Each Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, at the option of such Holder and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder, to convert all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Shares held by such Holder, for such number of Common Shares per each Series C Preferred Share, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, as is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the Preferred Stock Original Purchase Price plus (B) any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series C Preferred Share by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined below).  Immediately following such conversion, the persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as having become the owners of such Common Shares, subject to the rights provided herein to Holders.  The term “ Conversion Price ” means $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

(a)    Delivery of Conversion Notice.   To convert Series C Preferred Shares into Common Shares on any date (a “ Conversion Date ”), the Holder shall give written notice (a “ Conversion Notice ”) to the Corporation in the form of Exhibit A hereto (which Conversion Notice will be given by facsimile transmission, e-mail or other electronic means no later than 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on such date, and sent via overnight delivery no later than one (1) Trading Day after such date) stating that such Holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of Series C Preferred Shares to be converted and the name or names in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Shares to be issued.  If required by Section 11 , as soon as possible after delivery of the Conversion Notice, such Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Series C Preferred Shares being converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation. 

(b)    Mechanics of Conversion.   The Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of a Conversion Notice (but in any event not less than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of such Conversion Notice), (i) send, via facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (ii) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), credit such aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.  If the number of Series C Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Stock certificate(s) delivered to the Corporation in connection with a Conversion Notice, to the extent required by Section 11 or to the extent otherwise requested by the Holder, is greater than the number of Series C Preferred Shares being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Preferred Stock certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock certificate representing the number of Series C Preferred Shares not converted.  The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Series C Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date. 

The Corporation’s obligation to issue Common Shares upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares shall, except as set forth below, be absolute, is independent of any covenant of any Holder, and shall not be subject to:  (i) any offset or defense; or (ii) any claims against the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares whether pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant or otherwise, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of any selling or short-selling activity by Holders.  

(c)    Corporation’s Failure to Timely Convert .  If the Corporation fails to cause the Transfer Agent by the Share Delivery Date to transmit to a Holder of Series C Preferred Shares the number of Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Series C Preferred Shares, then in addition to all other available remedies which such Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to the terms thereof), the Corporation shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the product of (i) the sum of the number of Common Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the applicable Conversion Notice and the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and (ii) the Closing Sale Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, but in no event in excess of eighteen percent (18.0%). In addition to the foregoing, if on the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation shall fail to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, then such Holder will have the right to rescind the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing and any other rights available to a Holder of Series C Preferred Shares, if the Corporation fails on or before the Share Delivery Date to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to a Holder the number of Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Series C Preferred Shares, and if after such date such Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or such Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder which such Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Common Shares that the Corporation was required to deliver to such Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of such Holder, either allow such Holder to rescind the Conversion Notice or deliver to such Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Corporation timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Series C Preferred Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. Such Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 

The term “ Closing Sale Price ” means the last closing trade price for the Common Shares on the electronic bulletin board for the Common Shares as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Common Shares become listed on a Trading Market, on such trading Market, of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the foregoing do not apply or if no last trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the highest bid price as reported on the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.) at the close of trading.  If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for the Common Shares on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Corporation and the Holder.  All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

(d)    Adjustments to the Conversion Price

(i)    Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations .  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustments under this Section 6(d)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs. 

(ii)    Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions .  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: 

(A)    the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and 

(B)    the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. 

(iii)    Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions .  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a non-cash dividend or other distribution payable in securities or property other than Common Shares, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of Common Shares receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Corporation or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that they would have received had the Series C Preferred Shares been converted into Common Shares on the date of such event. 

(iv)    Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Equity Securities of the Corporation .  In the event the Corporation shall issue or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents including, without limitation, (i) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in settlement or resolution (by judgment or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation (other than (A) as provided in Section 6(d)(i) through (iii) or (B) Excluded Securities), and (ii) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, or if, after any issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issued thereafter is amended or adjusted such that more shares of Common Stock are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price according to the following equation: 

 

 

where:

A = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the issuance (or immediately prior to such amendment or adjustment, as applicable) on a fully-diluted basis;

B = the number of new shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued (or effectively issued pursuant to such amendment or adjustment, as applicable), on a fully-diluted basis;

C = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares are convertible prior to the issuance; and

X = the number by which to multiply the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance.

No adjustment shall be made under this Section 6(d)(iv) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares which are issued pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange rights under any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore) pursuant to this Section 6(d)(iv) .

For purposes of the foregoing, in the case of the sale or issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents or in the case that any Common Stock Equivalents are amended and adjusted as provided in this Section 6(d)(iv) , the maximum number of Additional Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be outstanding at the time of such sale or issuance or amendment or adjustment, as the case may be, and no further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.  

In the event the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of preferred stock of the Corporation that are not convertible into Common Stock, then an appropriate adjustment to the securities to be received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) shall be made, as the Holders and the Corporation shall mutually agree.

(v)    Certain Issues Excepted .  There shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 6(d)(iv) with respect to the sale or issuance of Excluded Securities. 

(vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Equity Securities of Subsidiary .  In the event (i) the Corporation’s ownership of DynaMexico Shares shall decrease (by forfeiture or shifting of ownership or otherwise) or (ii) DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the “ Mexican Subsidiary ”) shall issue or sell any DynaMexico Shares or DynaMexico Share Equivalents to any person other than the Corporation, in each case including, without limitation, as a result of the settlement or resolution (by judgment or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such decrease or issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price according to the following equation:

 

 

where:

A = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary on a fully-diluted basis;

B = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary;

C = the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Corporation following the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary;

D = the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding following the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary;

E = the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Corporation prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary;

F = the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary; and

X = the number by which to multiply the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary; provided , however, that if X is less than or equal to zero (0), then X shall equal .001.

No adjustment shall be made under this Section 6(d)(vi) upon the issuance of any additional DynaMexico Shares which are issued pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange rights under any DynaMexico Share Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore) pursuant to this Section 6(d)(vi) .

For purposes of the foregoing, in the case of the sale or issuance of any DynaMexico Share Equivalents or in the case that any DynaMexico Share Equivalents are amended and adjusted as provided in this Section 6(d)(vi) , the maximum number of additional DynaMexico Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents shall be deemed to be outstanding at the time of such sale or issuance or amendment or adjustment, as the case may be, and no further adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of additional DynaMexico Shares pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents.

(e)    Notice of Record Date.   In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, any security or right convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive additional Common Shares, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security or right and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right. 

(f)    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.   The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purposes of effecting the conversion and/or redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares, an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares at the current Conversion Price (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”).  If at any time while any of the Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion and/or redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Corporation shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days (or the lesser of (i) ninety (90) days if the proxy statement is reviewed by the staff of the SEC or (ii) ten (10) days after the staff of the SEC indicates that it has no further comments to such proxy statement) after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure (the “ Meeting Outside Date ”), the Corporation shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation is able to obtain the necessary consent of the holders of its capital stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Corporation may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. 

(g)    Fractional Shares.   No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares.  All Common Shares (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one Series C Preferred Share by a Holder thereof and all Series C Preferred Shares issuable upon the purchase thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion and/or purchase would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion and/or purchase would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, either round up the number of shares to the next highest whole number or, at the Corporation’s option, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the Conversion Date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation). 

(h)    Reorganization, Merger or Going Private.   In case of any reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation or any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other person or a “going private” transaction under Rule 13e-3 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, then, as part of such reorganization, consolidation, merger, or transfer if the holders of shares of Common Stock receive any publicly traded securities as part or all of the consideration for such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, then it shall be a condition precedent of any such event or transaction that provision shall be made such that each Series C Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible into such new securities at a conversion price and pricing formula which places the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares in an economically equivalent position as they would have been if not for such event.  The Corporation shall give each Holder written notice at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale.   

(i)    Certificate for Conversion Price Adjustment.   The Corporation shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to each Holder a certificate prepared by the Corporation setting forth any adjustments or readjustments of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6 .  

7.     Mandatory Repurchase .   If any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) below shall have occurred or are continuing, each Holder shall have the unilateral option and right to compel the Corporation to repurchase for cash any or all of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Shares within three (3) days of a written notice requiring such repurchase (provided that no such written notice shall be required for clauses (ii) and (iii) below and such demand for repurchase shall be deemed automatically made upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in such clauses (ii) and (iii) below), at an amount per share equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of (A) the Preferred Stock Original Purchase Price plus (B) all accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series C Preferred Share, in each case as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events, or (ii) an amount equal to the per share amount the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares would have received upon a theoretical Liquidation Event occurring at the time of the Holder’s exercise of the repurchase option pursuant to this Section 7 had such Holders converted their Series C Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately preceding such theoretical Liquidation Event (such greater amount, the “ Repurchase Price ”): 

(i)    it is a date later than the Maturity Date; 

(ii)    the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Corporation or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary under any applicable federal or state law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

(iii)    the commencement by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Corporation or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action.

8.     Voting Rights; Directors .   

(a) Each Holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of Common Shares into which such Series C Preferred Shares could be converted and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, voting together with the Common Stock as a single class) and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which Series C Preferred Shares held by each Holder could be converted) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(b) The Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven (7) members. The Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such director and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such director. The remaining directors shall be elected as provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the Initial Issuance Date.

(c) In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the Holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Corporation may: (i) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, this Certificate of Designations, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series C Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (ii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation may increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of undesignated “blank check” preferred stock); (iii) create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on a Liquidation Event; (iv) purchase, repurchase or redeem any Junior Security; (v) whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series C Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Series C Preferred Shares; (vi) effect a Liquidation Event (other than a Change in Control Transaction); or (vii) enter into any contract or other arrangement to do any of the foregoing. In addition, so long as the Primary Investor holds any Series C Preferred Shares, except where the vote or written consent of the Holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Corporation may effect a Restricted Change in Control Transaction.

9.     Preemptive Rights .

(a) Except for the issuance of Excluded Securities or pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any Equity Security outstanding on the Initial Issuance Date, if, following the Initial Issuance Date, the Corporation authorizes the issuance or sale of any Equity Securities to any person or entity (including any stockholder of the Corporation) (the “ Offeree ”), the Corporation shall first offer to sell to the Qualified Stockholders a portion of such Equity Securities equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the number of Common Shares held by such Qualified Stockholder at such time (which are not or would not be subject to vesting or repurchase in favor of the Corporation as of or prior to the consummation of such issuance or sale) on a fully-diluted and as-if converted basis, by (2) the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance on a fully-diluted and as-if converted basis. The Qualified Stockholders shall be entitled to purchase such Equity Securities at the same price as such Equity Securities are to be offered to the Offeree; provided that if the Offeree is required to also purchase other Equity Securities, the Qualified Stockholders shall also be required to purchase the same Equity Securities (at the same price) that the Offeree is required to purchase. The Qualified Stockholders electing to purchase their pro-rata share (“ Participating Stockholders ”) will take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the purchase transactions contemplated by this Section 9 as requested by the Board of Directors, including the execution of all agreements, documents and instruments in connection therewith in the form presented by the Corporation, so long as such agreements, documents and instruments do not require such Participating Stockholders to make more burdensome representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities than those required of the Offeree in the agreements, documents or instruments in connection with such transaction. If any Qualified Stockholder elects not to purchase any such securities, or not to purchase all of such Qualified Stockholder’s pro-rata portion, each other Qualified Stockholder who has elected to purchase all of such Qualified Stockholder’s full pro-rata portion (a “ Fully Participating Stockholder ”) shall be entitled to purchase an additional number of shares of such Equity Securities. If more than one Fully Participating Stockholder desires to purchase such Equity Securities in excess of the portion allocated to such Fully Participating Stockholder pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(a) , then each such Fully Participating Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase up to all of such available Equity Securities. If there is an oversubscription in respect of such remaining Equity Securities, the oversubscribed amount shall be fully allocated among the Fully Participating Stockholders pro rata based on such Fully Participating Stockholders’ relative proportionate ownership of all Common Shares on a fully-diluted and as-if converted basis.

(b) In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, a Qualified Stockholder must, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Corporation describing the Equity Securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such Qualified Stockholder’s percentage allotment, deliver a written notice to the Corporation describing its election hereunder (which election shall be absolute and unconditional).

(c) During the 90 days following the expiration of the offering period described above, the Corporation shall be entitled to sell such Equity Securities which the Qualified Stockholders have not elected to purchase to the Offeree at no less than the purchase price stated in the notice provided under Section 9(b) hereunder. Any Equity Securities proposed to be offered or sold by the Corporation to the Offeree after such 90-day period, or at a price not complying with the immediate preceding sentence, must be reoffered to the Qualified Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Section 9 prior to any sale to the Offeree.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors (with the prior approval of the Required Holders) determines that it should, in the best interests of the Corporation, issue Equity Securities of the Corporation which would otherwise be required to be offered to the Qualified Stockholders under this Section 9 prior to their issuance, it may issue such Equity Securities without first complying with this Section 9 ; provided that within sixty (60) days after such issuance, it offers each Qualified Stockholder the opportunity to purchase the number of shares of such Equity Securities that such Qualified Stockholder would be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 9 .

10. Rank .  All shares of Junior Securities shall be of junior rank to all Series C Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event.  The rights of the shares of Junior Securities shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Series C Preferred Shares.  Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Corporation shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital stock that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Series C Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other distributions, amortization and redemption payments and payments upon Liquidation Event.  The Corporation shall be permitted to issue preferred stock that is junior in rank to the Series C Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other distributions, amortization and redemption payments and payments upon Liquidation Event, provided , that the maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption, repayment or any other payment, including, without limitation, dividends in respect of any such preferred shares) of any such junior preferred shares is not on or before ninety-one (91) days after the Maturity Date.  In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, the Series C Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein (except that the Series C Preferred Shares may not be pari passu with, or junior to, any capital stock of the successor entity) and no merger shall have a result inconsistent therewith. 

11.     Book-Entry .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of Series C Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Series C Preferred Shares to the Corporation unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series C Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or redeemed or (B) such Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice requesting reissuance of Series C Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Series C Preferred Shares.  Each Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of Series C Preferred Shares so converted or redeemed and the dates of such conversions or redemptions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series C Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted or redeemed as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series C Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series C Preferred Shares to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Series C Preferred Shares represented by such certificate.  A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any Series C Preferred Shares, the number of Series C Preferred Shares represented by such certificate will be less than the number of Series C Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof.  Each certificate for Series C Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend: 

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES C SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.  THE NUMBER OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. 

12.     Taxes

(a)    Any and all payments made by the Corporation hereunder, including any amounts received on a conversion or redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares and any amounts on account of dividends or deemed dividends, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. If the Corporation is aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) in respect of any payment to any Holder, it must notify such Holder promptly. 

(b)    If a Tax Deduction for Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (as defined below) is required to be made by the Corporation with respect to any payment to any Holder, the amount of the payment made by the Corporation will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction, including any Tax Deduction applicable to additional sums payable pursuant to this Section 12(b) ) results in the receipt by such Holder of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.  If the Corporation is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.  As soon as practicable after making a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Corporation must deliver to the Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.  “ Excluded Taxes ” means (a) Taxes imposed on or measured by the Holder’s net income (however denominated), and franchise Taxes imposed on the Holder (in lieu of net income Taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Holder is a citizen or resident, under the laws of which such Holder is organized, in which the Holder’s principal office is located, or in which the Holder is otherwise doing business, (b) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Corporation is located, (c) in the case of a non-US Holder, any withholding Tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such non-US Holder at the time such non-US Holder becomes a Holder (or at such time that such Holder changes its citizenship, residence, place of organization, principal office, or location where doing business) or is attributable to such non-US Holder’s failure or inability to comply with any applicable documentation requirements or to provide any documents or certifications that are reasonably requested by the Corporation, and (d) in the case of any Holder, any withholding Tax (including any backup withholding tax) that is imposed on amounts payable to such Holder that is attributable to such Holder’s failure or inability to comply with any applicable documentation requirements or to provide any documents or certifications that are reasonably requested by the Corporation. 

(c)    In addition, the Corporation agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, the Series C Preferred Shares other than income taxes (“ Other Taxes ”).  As soon as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the Corporation must deliver to such Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom such Other Taxes were paid. 

(d)    The obligations of the Corporation under this Section 12 shall survive the Maturity Date of the Series C Preferred Shares and the payment for the Series C Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

13.     Notices.   The Corporation shall distribute to the Holders of Series C Preferred Shares copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally to the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such holders of such Common Stock. 

14.     Replacement Certificates .   The certificate(s) representing the Series C Preferred Shares held by any Holder may be exchanged by such Holder at any time and from time to time for certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of Series C Preferred Shares, as reasonably requested by such Holder, upon surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange. 

15.     Attorneys’ Fees . In connection with enforcement by a Holder of any obligation of the Corporation hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred.

17.     Severability of Provisions .   If any right, preference or limitation of the Series C Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations (as this Certificate of Designations may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule or law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this Certificate of Designations, which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any such other right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

DYNARESOURCe, INC.

Warrant Shares: 2,166,527 Initial Issuance Date: June 30, 2015

  

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, Golden Post Rail, LLC or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “ Initial Issuance Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from DynaResource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 2,000,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1 . Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated May 6, 2015, by and between the Company and the Holder.

Section 2 . Exercise .

(a)                Exercise of Warrant . Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or electronic copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

Business Day ” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed. 

Trading Day ” shall mean 9:30 a.m. to 3:59 p.m. on any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board or a securities exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not so traded, a Business Day.

(b)                     Exercise Price . The exercise price per Warrant Share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

(c) Mechanics of Exercise .

                                                                                               (i)            Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Exercise (but in any event, not less than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of such Notice of Exercise), (i) send, via facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, a confirmation of receipt of such Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Company’s transfer agent to process such Notice of Exercise in accordance with the terms herein, and (ii) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise and the aggregate Exercise Price (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall credit the aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without the need for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”), and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in such Notice of Exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date this Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(vi) prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to a Notice of Exercise following receipt of the Exercise Price by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing up to a maximum of $180 for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

VWAP ” shall mean the dollar volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board, or if the Common Stock becomes listed on an exchange, such exchange, during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York City time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”). If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on such date on the foregoing basis, the VWAP of the Common Stock on such date shall be the last reported closing sales price for such date. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions during the relevant period.

 

                                                                                          (ii)                     Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

                                                                                           (iii)                  Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

                                                                                           (iv)                  Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and the equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

                                                                                             (v)                  No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

                                                                                           (vi)                  Charges, Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

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

Section 3 . Certain Adjustments .

(a)                Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) makes or issues or sets a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, (ii) makes or issues or sets a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities or property other than Common Stock, (iii) effects a stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iv) combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b)               Subsequent Equity Sales . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue, including, without limitation, (i) any issuance as a result of the settlement or resolution (by judgment or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation or (ii) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition, any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents other than Excluded Securities (such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be multiplied according to the following equation:

where:

A = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Dilutive Issuance, on a fully-diluted basis;

B = the number of new shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in the Dilutive Issuance, on a fully-diluted basis;

C = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable prior to the Dilutive Issuance; and

X = the number by which to multiply the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance.

In addition, simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the calculation of the equation in this Section 3(b) (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the adjusted Exercise Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise.

Excluded Securities ” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Designations of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Certificate of Designations ”) other than Common Stock Equivalents issued pursuant to the antidilution adjustment provisions in Section 6(d)(iv) and Section 6(d)(vi) of the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) any of the Company’s equity securities issued to a holder of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the preemptive rights provided by the Certificate of Designations.

In the event the Company shall issue or sell any shares of preferred stock of the Company that are not convertible into Common Stock, then an appropriate adjustment to the securities to be received upon exercise of this Warrant (by adjustments of the Exercise Price or otherwise) shall be made, as the Holder and the Company shall mutually agree.

(c)                Subsequent Equity Issuances of Subsidiary . If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company’s ownership of DynaMexico Shares shall decrease (by forfeiture or shifting of ownership or otherwise) or (ii) DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the “ Mexican Subsidiary ”) shall issue or sell any DynaMexico Shares or DynaMexico Share Equivalents to any person other than the Company, in each case including, without limitation, as a result of the settlement or resolution (by judgment or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation (such decreases or issuances collectively, a “ Subsidiary Dilutive Event ”), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Subsidiary Dilutive Event the Exercise price shall be multiplied according to the following equation:

 

 

where:

A = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event, on a fully-diluted basis;

B = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;

C = the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Company following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;

D = the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;

E = the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Company prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;

F = the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event; and

X = the number by which to multiply the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event; provided , however, that if X is less than or equal to zero (0), then X shall equal .001.

In addition, simultaneously with the consummation of each Subsidiary Dilutive Event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event, indicating therein the calculation of the equation in this Section 3(c) (such notice, the “ Subsidiary Dilution Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Subsidiary Dilution Notice pursuant to this Section 3(c), upon the occurrence of any Subsidiary Dilution Event, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the adjusted Exercise Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise.

DynaMexico Shares ” means the Fixed Capital “Series A” Shares or the Variable Capital “Series B” Shares issued by the Mexican Subsidiary.

DynaMexico Share Equivalent ” means any rights, warrants or options to purchase or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, directly or indirectly, any (1) DynaMexico Shares or (2) securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, directly or indirectly, DynaMexico Shares.

(d)               Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall hold such Purchase Rights for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion thereof.

(e)                Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (a “ Distribution ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Warrant, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution. For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall hold such Distribution for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion thereof.

(f)                Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) the Company’s board of directors gives its consent to a transaction whereby an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) acquires effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of conversion or exercise of the Series C Preferred or this Warrant), provided , this clause (iii) does not include an unsolicited takeover bid, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization 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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each 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 (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the 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 as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by the holder of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise 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 Exercise 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) calendar days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the calendar day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(g)               Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(h)               Notice to Holder .

                                                                 (i)                        Adjustment to Exercise Price .

(b)               New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the Initial Issuance Date and identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(c)                Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

(d)               Transfer Restrictions . If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(e)                Representation by the Holder . The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5 . Miscellaneous .

(a)                No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

(b)               Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(c)                Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d)               Authorized Shares . The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

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

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

(e)                Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(f)                Restrictions . The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(g)               Nonwaiver and Expenses . No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h)               Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(i)                 Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j)                 Remedies . The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(k)               Successors and Assigns . Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder.

(l)                 Amendment . Any provision of this Warrant may be waived by the Holder in writing, which waiver shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and assigns. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended by a written instrument executed by the Company and the Holder, which amendment shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and assigns.

(m)             Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(n)               Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

2.             REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT .

2.1.       Shelf Registration .

(a)           Shelf Registration . At any time commencing after the effective time of the Purchase Agreement, if the Company is eligible to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company (i) register all or any portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities by filing with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement for a public offering of such shares of Registrable Securities (a “ Shelf Request ”) (which Shelf Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof) and (ii) shall use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act for public sale such Registrable Securities of such Holder. As promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Shelf Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall include in the Shelf Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holder and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company, in each cash subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(d). Accordingly, once an Initiating Holder has made a Shelf Request and the Company has sent the required notice of such Shelf Request to all other Holders, such other Holders may elect to participate in the registration or not, but such Holders will not have the right to make a separate Shelf Request until the expiration of the ninety (90) calendar day period following the date of the initial Shelf Request. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Shelf Request, use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof specified in such Shelf Request or


5
 

     

further requests. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). If the sole or lead managing Underwriter (if any) or the Majority Holders of the Registration shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion additional disclosure not required by Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such Registration Statement shall include such additional disclosure. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shelf Request shall not count against the number of Demand Registration rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(b).   

 

Whenever the Company shall effect a registration pursuant to a Shelf Request, no securities other than the Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities.

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1(a) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.

If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under “blue sky” laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, and (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company, as advised by counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state “blue sky” or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder.

respect to each registration which has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof, and expenses (as incurred or suffered and including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel) in respect thereof (collectively, “ Claims ”), insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to any such registration or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, or any qualification or compliance incident thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company in an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically stating that it was expressly for use therein. The Company shall also indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their Agents and each Person who controls any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Person who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 and shall survive the transfer of securities by such Holder or Underwriter.

 

5.2.       Indemnification by Holders .

Each Holder, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which a registration is being effected, agrees to, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and its Agents and each Person who controls the Company or any such Underwriter (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and its Agents against any and all Claims, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to such registration, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company in an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically stating that it was expressly for use therein; provided , however , that the aggregate amount which any such Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall in no event be greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims less all amounts previously paid by such Holder with respect to any such Claims. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder or Underwriter.

5.3.       Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings .

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any Claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim under this Section 5, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 5, (i) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided , that the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5, and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided , however , that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such indemnified party) or (D) such indemnified party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party and reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no indemnifying party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (3) does not provide for any action on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in full by the indemnifying party.

 

5.4.       Contribution .

If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2 from the indemnifying party for any reason is unavailable to (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is

21
 

 
insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, any legal or other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.4 to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims, less all amounts previously paid by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claims. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.5.       Other Indemnification .

Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract.

5.6.       Indemnification Payments .

The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Texas will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

6.11.   Remedies; Specific Performance .

(a)                If: (i) the Company is required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement and fails to file such Registration Statement with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of a request to register the Registrable Securities, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) calendar days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within twenty (20) calendar days of the receipt of comments by, or notice from, the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, (iv) a Registration Statement that has been filed with the SEC is not declared effective by the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the date such Registration Statement was filed or (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration Statement for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason, including due to a Blackout Notice, to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any twelve (12) month period, (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such twenty (20) or thirty (30)

26
 

 

calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to the Holders (apportioned on a pro rata basis by the percentage of Registrable Securities that are not then covered by a Registration Statement owned by each Holder) an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of (1) the product of (A) one and one-half percent (1.5%) multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the number of each Holders’ Registrable Securities that are not then covered by a Registration Statement that is then effective and available for use by the Holders divided by (II) the total number of the Holders’ Registrable Securities multiplied by (2) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided , however , that, in the event that none of the Holders’ Registrable Securities are then covered by a Registration Statement that is effective and available for use by the Holders, the quotient of (I) divided by (II) in clause (1)(B) herein shall be deemed to equal 1. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the Holders under this Agreement shall be nine percent (9%) of the aggregate amount paid by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 6.11(a) in full within seven (7) calendar days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holders, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.  

  

(b)               Notwithstanding Section 6.11(a), the parties hereto acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled pursuant to Section 6.11(a), at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. An Event shall constitute a breach of this Agreement entitling the Holders to remedies hereunder.

(c)                Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by a party hereto in exercising any right or remedy granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy provided hereunder, by law or in equity shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies under shall be cumulative.

6.12.   Entire Agreement .

This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings relating to such subject matter, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Company and the other parties to this Agreement with respect to such subject matter.

6.13.   Nominees for Beneficial Owners .

In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.

6.14.   Consent to Jurisdiction .
