Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On November 13, 2015, Neurotrope, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers (the “Buyers”) to sell a minimum of $5,000,000 and a maximum of $15,000,000 of its securities, with an over-allotment option of up to an additional $5,000,000 in gross proceeds in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Buyers 25,716,534 units (each, a “Unit”) in the Private Placement at a per Unit purchase price equal to $0.60. Each Unit sold in the Private Placement consisted of (i) one one-hundredth share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), (ii) one warrant to acquire, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share with an expiration date five years from the date of issuance, one share of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant”), (iii) one warrant to acquire, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share with an expiration date of one year life from the date of issuance, one share of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant”), (iv) one warrant to acquire, at an exercise price of $1.25 per share with an expiration date of five years from the issuance date, one share of Common Stock (the “Series C Warrant”), (v) one warrant, which is contingent upon the exercise of the Series B Warrant, to acquire, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share with an expiration date that is five years from the date of the initial exercise of the Series B Warrant, one share of Common Stock (the “Series D Warrant”), and (vi) one warrant, which is contingent upon the exercise of the Series C Warrant, to acquire, at an initial exercise price of $1.50 per share with an expiration date that is five years from the date of the initial exercise of the Series C Warrant, one share of Common Stock (the “Series E Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, the Series B Warrant, the Series C Warrant and the Series D Warrant, the “Investor Warrants”). The exercise prices of the Investor Warrants are initially subject to full protection for dilutive issuances. The Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant each contain a mandatory exercise right of the Company to force exercise of the warrant if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $1.50 for 20 consecutive trading days (subject to certain conditions, including a $150,000 minimum daily volume requirement). The Series C Warrant contains a mandatory exercise right of the Company to force exercise of the warrant if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $2.00 for 20 consecutive trading days (subject to certain conditions, including a $150,000 minimum daily volume requirement). In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company may sell, in one additional closing on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Purchase Agreement, additional Units to one or more buyers (each, an “Additional Investor”), each of which is either (a) an institutional investor that focuses on the biotech industry, (b) an investor of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) any investor investing under $5,000 or (d) any person approved in writing by each of those Buyers who are institutional investors and such Buyer’s purchase price (together with such Buyer’s institutional affiliates) equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Large Buyers”). The Large Buyers also have certain consent rights with respect to any Additional Investor.

 

See Item 5.03 below regarding the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B COD”).

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Buyers entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) on November 13, 2015. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of 150% of the number of shares underlying the Series B Preferred, the Investor Warrants and the Broker Warrants (as defined below) within 30 days following the date of the Initial Closing (the “Initial Closing Date”). The Company will use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the earlier of the (A) 90 th calendar day after the Initial Closing Date or, in the event that the SEC or the SEC staff cause a delay in the effectiveness of such Registration Statement due to comments regarding the number of shares being registered, then the 120 th calendar day after the Initial Closing Date and (B) 2 nd Business Day after the date 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. In the event that the Company fails to timely file or achieve effectiveness, maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or to file any reports with respect to certain public information, then the Company must pay to each holder of the Registrable Securities an amount in cash equal to 1% of such holder’s Stated Value (as such term is defined in the Series B COD) of its Series B Preferred Stock on the date of such failure and 2% of such holder’s Stated Value of its Series B Preferred Stock on every 30 day anniversary until such failure is cured.

 

The Company has granted the Buyers customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Statement. The Buyers have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Statement.

 

Placement Agent Compensation

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to pay Katalyst Securities LLC, the placement agent for the Private Placement (“Katalyst”), a cash fee at each closing in the Private Placement (each, a “Closing”) equal to 10% of each Closing’s gross proceeds from any sale of the Units in the offering purchased by those Buyers directly introduced to the Company by Katalyst and any investment by an entity specifically formed by a person directly introduced to the Company by Katalyst for the purpose of making an investment in the Company (collectively referred to as “Placement Agent Investors”). Also, at each Closing, the Company will deliver to Katalyst warrants exercisable for a period of 5 years from the date of the Initial Closing to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the number of Units purchased by any Placement Agent Investors who are institutional investors (the “Institutional Placement Agent Investors”) with an exercise price of $1.50, which shall be lowered to $0.80 on the date of the exercise (if any) of all of the Series A Warrants or all of the Series B Warrants (the “Institutional Broker Warrant”). In addition, at each closing, the Company will deliver to Katalyst warrants exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of the Initial Closing to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the number of Units purchased by any Placement Agent Investors who are not Institutional Placement Agent Investors (“Placement Agent Retail Investors”) with exercise prices as apportioned as follows: (x) 25% of such number of warrants shall be exercisable for common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“Penny Broker Warrant”) and (y) 75% of such number of warrants shall be exercisable for common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (the “IV Broker Warrant” and collectively with the Institutional Broker Warrant and the Penny Broker Warrant, the “Broker Warrants”).

 

 

 

 

The Company shall also pay Katalyst the fees set forth above if during the Post-Offering Period (as defined below) any person or entity contacted by Katalyst who met with executives of the Company prior to the applicable closing date invests in the Company pursuant to which the Company receives the proceeds (each, a “Post-Closing Investor”), regardless of whether or not such Post-Closing Investor also invested in the offering. For purposes hereof, “Post-Offering Period” means the later of the date that is (i) twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the private placement of a minimum of gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and (ii) the final closing date of the Private Placement.

 

The Company shall also pay Katalyst cash in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the gross offering proceeds delivered to the Company by Katalyst, for non-accountable expenses.

 

Amendment No. 2 to Preferred Stockholders Agreement

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company and certain of its prior investors entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Preferred Stockholders Agreement (the “Amendment No. 2”), which amended the Preferred Stockholders Agreement, dated August 23, 2013, between the Company and certain holders of shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Amendment No. 2 to the Preferred Stockholders Agreement modified certain registration rights held by the stockholders party to such agreement, including excluding the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and related agreements from certain “piggy-back” registration rights and limitations on subsequent registration rights. Pursuant to the Amendment No. 2, the Company also agreed to amend certain restrictions on transfer and waive the lock-up in the Preferred Stockholders Agreement. Further, the Company agrees that promptly following the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company is then eligible to do so, it will prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement (defined below) on Form S-3 with the SEC, to convert the S-1 Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3. As used herein, “S-1 Registration Statement” means the registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file number 333-200664) filed with the SEC on December 1, 2014, as amended by the Company (by pre-effective amendments) and declared effective by the SEC on February 12, 2015, as further amended by the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 (on Form S-1/A) filed with the SEC on April 8, 2015, which was declared effective on May 11, 2015, and as further amended or supplemented from time-to-time.

The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to any successive Fundamental Transaction and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(c)   Put Triggering Event .  No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a “ Change of Control Notice ”).

(x) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as the Holder delivers a Put Triggering Event Redemption Notice with respect to such Cash Conversion Amount, and

 

(y) the highest amount of cash consideration to be paid to a holder of one share of Common Stock upon consummation of such Put Triggering Event (or, if such cash consideration is paid to the Corporation, that would be payable to a holder of one share of Common Stock after consummation of such Put Triggering Event and distribution of all of such cash by the Corporation to its holders of Common Stock); and

 

(iii) the “Black Scholes Value” of such share of Series B Preferred Stock calculated by using the Black and Scholes Option Pricing model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined (1) in the event the such Fundamental Transaction is publicly announced, the day prior to the public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes or (2) in the event the Fundamental Transaction is not publicly announced, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period from the applicable date of determination until November 13, 2020, (ii) an expected volatility equal to the lesser of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the earliest to occur of (x) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (y) the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (z) the date on which the Holder first became aware of the applicable Fundamental Transaction , (iii) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall equal the greatest of (1) the highest Closing Sale Price (as defined herein) of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the earliest to occur of (x) the public disclosure of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (y) the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and (z) the date on which the Holder first became aware of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and ending on the Put Triggering Event Redemption Notice Date, (iv) a zero cost of borrow, and (v) a 250 day annualization factor.

 

(II) in the event of a Put Triggering Event that provides for payments in securities (other than in Eligible Successor Common Stock) to the Corporation or the equity holders of the Corporation, the greater of

 

(i) 100% of the Securities Conversion Amount,

 

(ii) the product of

 

(x) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as the Holder delivers a Put Triggering Event Redemption Notice with respect to such Securities Conversion Amount, and

Upon the Corporation’s receipt of a Put Triggering Event Redemption Notice(s) from any Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Holder by facsimile of the Corporation’s receipt of such notice(s). The Corporation shall make payment of the Put Triggering Event Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Put Triggering Event to all Holders that deliver a Put Triggering Event Redemption Notice prior to the consummation of such Put Triggering Event and within five (5) Trading Days after the Corporation’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “ Put Triggering Event Redemption Date ”). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(c) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series B Preferred Stock by the Corporation, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(c), until the Put Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Stated Value submitted for redemption under this Section 5(c) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Put Triggering Event, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Corporation’s Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(c)(i). The Holders and the Corporation agree that in the event of the Corporation’s redemption of any Series B Preferred Stock under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future dividend rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Corporation does not pay the Put Triggering Event Redemption Price on the Put Triggering Event Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 5(d).

 

(d)   Void Redemption .  In the event that the Corporation does not pay a Put Triggering Event Redemption Price within the time period set forth in this Certificate of Designations, at any time thereafter and until the Corporation pays such unpaid applicable Put Triggering Event Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Corporation to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock that were submitted for redemption by such Holder and for which the applicable Put Triggering Event Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Corporation via facsimile (the “ Void Redemption Notice ”). Upon the Corporation’s receipt of such Void Redemption Notice, (i) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Void Redemption Notice, (ii) the Corporation shall immediately return any Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Void Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation and (B) 90% of the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation and ending on the date on which the Void Redemption Notice is delivered to the Corporation, as applicable, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.

(e)   Disputes .  In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Put Triggering Event Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7(e) with the term “Put Triggering Event Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion Rate”. A Holder’s delivery of a Void Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Corporation’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice.

(i)  The Corporation shall have such number of its duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each Series B Preferred Stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Full Dilution Amount ”) necessary to effect (i) the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the exercise of all outstanding warrants issued to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock at the time of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “ Series B Warrants ”). The Corporation shall at all times when the Series B Preferred Stock shall be outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock such number of its duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall the Full Dilution Amount. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series B Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “ Authorized Share Allocation ”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series B Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holders. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully-paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted conversion price.

 

  12  

 

 

(ii)  If at any time while any of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of duly authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Full Dilution Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Corporation shall immediately 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 Full Dilution Amount for the Series B Preferred Stock 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 after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, 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 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.

 

(e)   Forced Conversion . So long as no other class of the Company’s preferred stock is authorized and outstanding, if (i) within twelve (12) months of the date that this Certificate of Designations is filed in the State of Nevada, the Company undertakes a reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the intention of listing its shares of Common Stock (or having its shares of Common Stock quoted on) a stock exchange registered as a “National Securities Exchange” pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company meets or exceeds the minimum National Securities Exchange’s listing requirements (such date that both (i) and (ii) are satisfied, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, such that the shares of Common Stock issued shall equal the Stated Value divided by the lesser of

 

(i) the then effective Conversion Rate or

 

(ii) the greater of (a) $0.45 (as adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split or any other stock splits, dividends or otherwise) and (b) the Weighted Average Price during the three Trading Day period following the effect date of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

  13  

 

 

All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence. Within two Trading Days of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof. No additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be issued following the Mandatory Conversion Time. No holder of Series B Preferred, nor other Persons on his, her or its behalf, shall engage in any Short Sales (defined below) involving the Company’s securities during the three Trading Day period following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. “ Short Sales ” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the forced conversion set out in this Section would cause any Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined herein) the Corporation shall hold any in abeyance for such Holder that number of shares that equals the difference between (i) the Maximum Percentage and (ii) the number of shares that such Holder would beneficially own without this provision (the “ Abeyance Shares ”) until such time, if ever, that the delivery of such Abeyance Shares shall not cause the Holder to exceed the Maximum Percentage, at which time such Holder shall be delivered such Abeyance Shares (and any dividends and distributions accrued thereon since the date that they were placed in abeyance) to the extent as if there had been no such limitation. For the sake of clarity, a Holder shall have no voting or distribution rights with respect to any Abeyance Shares until such Abeyance Shares are delivered to the Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 

(f) Dispute Resolution .  In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to any “big four” international accounting firm. The Corporation shall cause, at the Corporation’s expense (unless the accounting firm determines that the Holder’s calculation was inaccurate in the Holder’s favor by more than 5%, in which case the Holder shall be responsible for such expense), the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.

 

  14  

 

 

(g)   Record Holder .  The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

 

(h)   Effect of Conversion .  All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holder thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared). Subject to Section 7I(iii)(B), any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

(i)   Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(j)   Maximum Percentage .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, and no Holder shall have the right to convert any Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Series B Preferred Stock or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Corporation shall not give effect to any voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, and any Holder shall not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to any Series B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent that giving effect to such voting rights would result in such Holder (together with its affiliates) being deemed to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, assuming such exercise as being equivalent to conversion. For purposes of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted shares of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(i) beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section 7(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation, or (3) any other notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of any Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally and in writing to any such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series B Preferred Stock, by such Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Corporation, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided, that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder providing such written notice and not to any other Holder. In the event that the Corporation cannot pay any portion of any dividend, distribution, grant or issuance hereunder (including pursuant to Sections 3, 5(b) or 8(f)) to a Holder solely by reason of this Section 7(i) (such shares, the “ Limited Shares ”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation shall not be required to pay cash in lieu of the payment that otherwise would have been made in such Limited Shares, but shall hold any such Limited Shares in abeyance for such Holder until such time, if ever, that the delivery of such Limited Shares shall not cause the Holder to exceed the Maximum Percentage, at which time such Holder shall be delivered such Limited Shares (and any dividends and distributions accrued thereon since the date that they were placed in abeyance) to the extent as if there had been no such limitation. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(i) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Corporation and the Required Holders. If the Corporation and the Required Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7I. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

(b)   Adjustment of Series B Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock .  If and whenever after the Filing Date the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 8(b) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation but excluding Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price (the “ Applicable Price ”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 8(b), the following shall be applicable:

 

  17  

 

 

(i)   Issuance of Options .  If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then each such share of Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Corporation with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation with respect to such one Ordinary Share upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)   Issuance of Convertible Securities .  If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then each such share of Common Stock underlying such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Corporation with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation with respect to such one Ordinary Share upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

(iii)   Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion .  If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Filing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

  18  

 

 

(iv)   Calculation of Consideration Received .  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (x) the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation less any consideration paid or payable by the Corporation pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Corporation, less (y) the Option Value of such Options. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Closing Sale Price of such marketable securities on the date of receipt of such securities. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities will be determined jointly by the Corporation and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Corporation and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation.

 

(c)   Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock .  If the Corporation at any time after the Filling Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time after the Filing Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

(d)   Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and otherwise protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(d) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then such dispute shall be settled pursuant to the terms of Section 7I.

 

(e)   Voluntary Adjustment By Corporation .  The Corporation may at any time reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Nevada law.

 

  19  

 

 

(f)   Purchase Rights .  If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Series B Preferred Stock) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time the Holder shall be granted such right to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

(g)   Notices .

 

(i)  Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Corporation will give written notice thereof sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid to each Holder at its address appearing on the stock register, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7I.

 

(ii)  Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote.

 

(iii)  The Corporation will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Change of Control, any Fundamental Transaction or any Liquidation Event will take place.

 

(h) Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be)

 

9.   Suspension from Trading .  If on any day after the Filing Date, the sale of any of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “ Conversion Shares ”) (without giving effect to the Maximum Percentage) issuable hereunder cannot be made (i) because of the suspension of trading by the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the shares of Common Stock are then traded (a “ Maintenance Failure ”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any Holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Conversion Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the Corporation shall pay to each Holder, for each full fifteen (15) day period during which there is a Maintenance Failure, an amount in cash equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the product of (I) the total number of Conversion Shares issuable hereunder (without giving effect to the Maximum Percentage) and (II) the highest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Trading Date immediately prior to the first date of the Maintenance Failure and ending on the date such Maintenance Failure is cured or (ii) because of a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on one or more Eligible Markets (a “ Delisting Maintenance Failure  ”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any Holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Conversion Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the Corporation shall pay to each Holder, for each full fifteen (15) day period during which there is a Delisting Maintenance Failure, an amount in cash equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Stated Value then held by such Holder. The payments to which a Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 9 are referred to herein as “ Suspension Payments ”. Suspension Payments shall be paid on the third Business Day after each full fifteen (15) day period during which there is a Maintenance Failure or a Delisting Maintenance Failure, as applicable.

10.   Status of Converted Stock .  In the event any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation.

 

11.   Lost or Stolen Certificates .  Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series B Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the holder thereof to the Corporation in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date;  provided however , the Corporation shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

 

12.   Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief .  The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a holder of Series B Preferred Stock’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations.

15.   Transfer of Series B Preferred Stock .  A Holder may assign some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

16.   Series B Preferred Stock Register .  The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series B Preferred Stock, in which the Corporation shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Series B Preferred Stock have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Corporation may treat the person in whose name any Series B Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

 

17.   Stockholder Matters .  Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Corporation pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected by written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the State of Nevada. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “ Authorized Share Allocation ”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Series B Preferred Stock (other than pursuant to a transfer of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holders. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully-paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted conversion price.

 

(ii)  If at any time while any of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Corporation does not have a sufficient number of duly authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Full Dilution Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Corporation shall immediately 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 Full Dilution Amount for the Series B Preferred Stock 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 after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, 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 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.

 

(e)   Forced Conversion . So long as no other class of the Company’s preferred stock is authorized and outstanding, if (i) within twelve (12) months of the date that this Certificate of Designations is filed in the State of Nevada, the Company undertakes a reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with the intention of listing its shares of Common Stock (or having its shares of Common Stock quoted on) a stock exchange registered as a “National Securities Exchange” pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company meets or exceeds the minimum National Securities Exchange’s listing requirements (such date that both (i) and (ii) are satisfied, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, such that the shares of Common Stock issued shall equal the Stated Value divided by the lesser of

 

(i) the then effective Conversion Price or

 

(ii) the greater of (a) $0.45 (as adjusted by the Reverse Stock Split or any other stock splits, dividends or otherwise) and (b) the Weighted Average Price during the three Trading Day period following the effect date of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i)           At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice as to whether such Buyer wants to receive material, non-public information about the Company (each such notice, a “ Pre-Notice ”).

(ii)          To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5 th ) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “ Offer Period ”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “ Notice of Acceptance ”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then such Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “ Available Undersubscription Amount ”), such Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts (but in no event shall it be greater than such Buyer’s specified Undersubscription Amount), subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5 th ) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.

(iv)         In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(l)(iii) above), then such Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(n)(iii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(n)(i) above.

 

(v)          Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance. The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer and its counsel.

 

(vi)         Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with this Section may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

 

(vii)        The Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “ Subsequent Placement Documents ”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver or release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company.

 

(viii)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5 th ) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5 th ) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and such Buyer or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Section and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section. The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one Offer Notice to such Buyer in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(n)(ii).

(a)           Register . The Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent shall maintain at its principal executive offices or the offices of the Company’s Transfer Agent (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Series B Shares and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Series B Shares and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the number of Series B Shares held by such Person and the number of Underlying Series B Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares held by such Person and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. Upon reasonable request, the Company shall keep (or instruct the Transfer Agent to keep) the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.

 

(b)           Transfer Agent Instructions . The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent and any subsequent Transfer Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “ Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions ”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at Depository Trust Company (DTC) (as applicable), registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Underlying Series B Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company (not to exceed the amount held by such Buyer at such time) upon conversion of the Series B Shares or the exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be). Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section (e) hereof, will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Underlying Series B Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent on each Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall (i) limit or be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or (ii) operate, or be deemed to operate, to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer or (iii) limit, or be deemed to limit, any provision of the Warrants which is contrary to the above. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b)           Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c)           Headings; Gender; Certain Meanings . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. When used herein, the words “law,” “rule,” “regulation” and the like means all applicable laws, rules and regulations, domestic or foreign, state, provincial, local or self-regulatory, including without limitation as to all applicable laws, rules and regulations of or related to the United States, applicable states, the SEC, and the Principal Market.

 

(d)           Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

  - 33 -  
 

 

(e)           Entire Agreement; Amendments . Except with regards to any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to), (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by (i) the Company, (ii) the Buyers, including the Large Investors, who own at least 50% of the outstanding Series B Shares, and (iii) as long as it is a holder of Securities, each of the Large Investors (or, if a Large Investor no longer holds Securities because it has transferred such shares to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended), such affiliate), and in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought; provided, that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Buyer, the consent of such Buyer shall also be required. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Buyer. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of Series B Shares or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). Except as provided in Schedule 3(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no due diligence investigation conducted by a Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or modify or qualify any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (ii) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by “except as disclosed in the SEC Reports” or “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents” (or similar language), nothing contained in any of the SEC Reports or SEC Documents (as applicable) shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or modify or qualify any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(f)            Notices . Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); (iii) when sent, if sent by e-mail (provided that such sent e-mail is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s e-mail server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); and (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g)           Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including, as contemplated below, any assignee of any of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Buyers. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

 

(h)           No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Buyer Indemnitees referred to in Section 8(k).

 

(i)            Survival . The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive each Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

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

 

(k)           Indemnification .

 

(i)            In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents but subject to the provisions of this Section 8(k), the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and all of his, her or its partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any material misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents, (b) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in any of the Transaction Documents, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(h), or (iv) the status of such Buyer as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will not be liable to any Indemnitee under this Agreement (x) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Indemnitee’s material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Indemnitee in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; (y) for any Indemnified Liabilities arising after the date that none of the Series B Preferred Shares or Warrants are outstanding with respect to such Indemnitee.

 

  - 36 -  
 

 

(ii)           Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section, promptly deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (iii) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section, except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

  - 37 -  
 

 

(iii)          The indemnification required by this Section shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within a reasonable amount of time after bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

 

(iv)          The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

(l)            Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.

 

(m)          Remedies . Each Buyer and each holder of any Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

(n)           Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(o)           Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

 

  - 38 -  
 

 

(p)           Payment Set Aside; Currency . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“ U.S. Dollars ”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “ Exchange Rate ” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

 

(q)           Potential Conflicts . The Placement Agent, its subagents, employees, legal counsel and/or their respective Affiliates, principals, representatives or employees may now or hereafter own shares of the Company.

 

(r)            DTC Accounts . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated herein to credit any restricted securities, including any Warrant Shares if so restricted, to the Buyer’s DTC account, and any obligation hereunder to credit shares to a Buyer’s DTC account shall only apply to unrestricted securities.

 

(s)           Disclosure . Upon delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, unless (i) the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) with respect to all Buyers receiving such notice, the Company and each such Buyer are parties to a confidentiality agreement covering the information in such notice, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

SCHEDULE OF ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

 

· Buyers may lose all of their investment. An investment in the Securities is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that the Buyers invest.

 

· The Warrants have an exercise prices ranging from $0.80 to $1.50 per share and will expire on various dates, ranging November 13, 2016 to November 13, 2025. On November 12, 2015, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $0.70. Therefore, the fair market value of the Warrants must appreciate substantially before their respective expiration dates for the warrants to become "in the money".

 

· Shares of Common Stock may be sold in the market following the offering, which may depress the market price for the Common Stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of options and warrants and those shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock).

 

· Except as otherwise set forth in the Warrants, Buyers of the Warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire the Company’s Common Stock.

 

· The Company has broad discretion in the use of the proceeds pursuant to this Agreement and, despite the Company’s efforts, the Company may use the proceeds in a manner that does not improve its operating results or increase the value of your investment.

 

· As of June 30, 2015, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $58.7 million and $53.1 million, respectively, which begin to expire in fiscal 2016.  Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, changes in our ownership may limit the amount of our net operating loss carryforwards that could be utilized annually to offset our future taxable income, if any. This limitation would generally apply in the event of a cumulative change in ownership of our company of more than 50% within a three-year period. Any such limitation may significantly reduce our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards before they expire. Any such limitation, whether as the result of future offerings, prior private placements, sales of our common stock by our existing stockholders or additional sales of our common stock by us in the future (through the exercise of outstanding Warrants, or otherwise), could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future years. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our inception, due to the significant costs and complexities associated with such study.

  - 11 -  

 

 

As mentioned above, Section 5.4.3 addresses deemed issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. Section 5.4.3 provides:

 

a) If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 (please see below), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

  - 12 -  

 

 

c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 5.4.5 (please see below)) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 5.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 5.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 5.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 5.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

Section 5.4.4 of the Company’s Series A Certificate of Designations sets forth the Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company issues Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A Conversion Price is reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

 

  - 13 -  

 

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

· CP2” shall mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

· “CP1” shall mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

· “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

 

· “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

· “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

According to Section 5.4.5 of the Series A Certificate of Designations, for purposes of Subsection 5.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

a) Cash and Property : Such consideration shall:

 

i. insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

ii. insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; and

 

iii. in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

  - 14 -  

 

 

b) Options and Convertible Securities . The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 5.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

i. the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

ii. the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

Section 5.4.6 of the Series A Certificate of Designations provides that in the event the Company issues, on more than one date, Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms above, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

Please see Exhibit 3.1 attached to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2013, to review the Company’s Series A Certificate of Designations in its entirety.

 

See sample calculations re: Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on the following page.

Sample Calculations Pursuant to

Section 5.4.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations of

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Set forth below are sample Series A Conversion Price calculations using potential offering sizes of $12,000,000 and $15,000,000. The actual new Series A Conversion Price resulting from the transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement will be calculated following the completion of the offering in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Series A Certificate of Designations.

 

A. Sample calculation pursuant to Section 5.5.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations pertaining to the Series A Preferred Stock assuming an offering size of $12,000,000 (with $6,000,000 from Katalyst Retail Investors and $6,000,000 from Katalyst Institutional Investors) :

 

CP2=CP1*(A+B)/(A+C)

 

CP1=1.00 (the price per share for the Series A Preferred Stock))

 

A= 54,746,818 (assuming outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of October 30, 2015)

 

B= 44,452,500 (assuming aggregate consideration of $12,000,000 for the Series B Shares and related Warrants, plus $2,500 for 250,000 Penny Broker Warrants, plus $450,000 for the 750,000 IV Broker Warrants, $32,000,000 for 40,000,000 Warrants, divided by CP1)

 

C= 61,000,000 (assuming 20,000,000 shares of common stock, plus an additional 250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Penny Broker Warrants, plus an additional 750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the IV Broker Warrants, plus an additional 40,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants)

 

So,

 

CP2=1*(54,746,818 + 44,452,500)/( 54,746,818 + 61,000,000)

CP2=1*(99,199,318/115,746,818)

CP2= $0.8570

 

Thus, under this sample scenario the new Series A Conversion Price would be $0.8570 (when rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent in accordance with Section 5.4.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations)

B. Sample calculation pursuant to Section 5.5.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations pertaining to the Series A Preferred Stock assuming an offering size of $15,000,000 (with $8,000,000 from Katalyst Retail Investors and $7,000,000 from Katalyst Institutional Investors) :

 

CP2=CP1*(A+B)/(A+C)

 

CP1=1.00 (the price per share for the Series A Preferred Stock))

 

A= 54,746,818 (assuming outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of October 30, 2015)

 

B= 55,018,750 (assuming aggregate consideration of $15,000,000 for the Units plus $3,333 for 333,333 Penny Broker Warrants, plus $600,000 for the IV Broker Warrants, plus $40,000,000 for 50,000,000 Warrants, divided by CP1)

 

C= 76,333,333 (assuming 25,000,000 shares of common stock, plus an additional 333,333 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Penny Broker Warrants, plus an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon plus an additional, 50,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants)

 

So,

 

CP2=1*(54,746,818 + 55,018,750)/( 54,746,818 + 76,333,333)

CP2=1*(110,350,151/131,080,151)

CP2= $0.8419

 

Thus, under this sample scenario the new Series A Conversion Price would be $0.8419 (when rounded to the nearest on-hundredth of a cent in accordance with Section 5.4.4 of the Series A Certificate of Designations)

NEUROTROPE, INC.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Series A Warrant No.: [—]

 

Date of Issuance: November 13, 2015 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [———] , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [———] (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Warrant is one of the warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “ SPA Warrants ”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2015, by and among the Company and the investor(s) thereunder (the “ Buyer ” or “ Buyers ” as applicable) referred to therein (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”).

 

 

 

 

1.             EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)           Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). 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. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise, one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the " Warrant Share Delivery Deadline ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided that such shares of Common Stock are unrestricted, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if such shares of Common Stock are restricted, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice (unless such exercise is pursuant to a valid Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  2  
 

 

(b)           Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $0.80 subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue (or cause to be issued) to the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to either (i) with respect to restricted shares, 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of restricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a), or (ii) with respect to unrestricted securities, 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). If on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, and if on or after such Warrant Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price less the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) ”B” as set out in the formula in Section 1(d).

 

  3  
 

 

(d)           Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at any time after one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Warrant Shares to be received upon the cash exercise of this Warrant are not freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

  Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
  B
   
  For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B= as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

 

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

 

(e)           Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.

 

  4  
 

 

(f)           Limitations on Exercises . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and any other Persons acting as a group together (" Attribution Parties ")) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder (and such Holder's Attribution Parties) of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder (and its Attribution Parties) sending such notice and not to any other Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.

 

  5  
 

 

(g)           Insufficient Authorized Shares . The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”) (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

2.             ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case (a) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (b) the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section occurs, the Mandatory Notice Trading Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

  6  
 

 

(b)           Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)           Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  7  
 

 

(iii)         Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If (A) the purchase or exercise price provided for in any outstanding Options decreases to a purchase price or exercise price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such decreased purchase or exercise price of such Option, or (B) the conversion price of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases to a conversion price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such conversion price. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, the price adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.

The Company shall request the investment bank, professional organization or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform at the Company’s expense the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment bank’s, professional organization’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

15.           REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual or consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant may be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance or stamp tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

 

16.           TRANSFER . This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company. The Holder represents that by accepting this Warrant it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(formerly Pink Sheets LLC) (the “ Pink Sheets ”) as of such time of determination. If the Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the Bid Price of such security as of such time of determination shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 14. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

Date of Issuance: November 13, 2015 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [———] , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [———] (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Warrant is one of the warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “ SPA Warrants ”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2015, by and among the Company and the investor(s) thereunder (the “ Buyer ” or “ Buyers ” as applicable) referred to therein (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”).

 

 

 

 

1.           EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)           Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). 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. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise, one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the " Warrant Share Delivery Deadline ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided that such shares of Common Stock are unrestricted, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if such shares of Common Stock are restricted, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice (unless such exercise is pursuant to a valid Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b)           Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $0.80 subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue (or cause to be issued) to the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to either (i) with respect to restricted shares, 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of restricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a), or (ii) with respect to unrestricted securities, 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). If on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, and if on or after such Warrant Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price less the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) ”B” as set out in the formula in Section 1(d).

 

  3  

 

 

(d)           Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at any time after one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Warrant Shares to be received upon the cash exercise of this Warrant are not freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

(f)           Limitations on Exercises . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and any other Persons acting as a group together (" Attribution Parties ")) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder (and such Holder's Attribution Parties) of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder (and its Attribution Parties) sending such notice and not to any other Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.

 

  5  

 

 

(g)           Insufficient Authorized Shares . The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”) (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

2.           ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case (a) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (b) the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section occurs, the Mandatory Notice Trading Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b)           Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)           Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  7  

 

 

(iii)         Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If (A) the purchase or exercise price provided for in any outstanding Options decreases to a purchase price or exercise price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such decreased purchase or exercise price of such Option, or (B) the conversion price of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases to a conversion price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such conversion price . For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, t he price adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

  8  

 

 

(v)          Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(c)           Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then such dispute shall be settled pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of this Warrant.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock . The provisions of Section 2(b) and 2(c) shall cease to be effective upon the occurrence of a forced conversion of all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (a “Forced Conversion”), provided that any adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) prior to the Forced Conversion shall remain in full force and effect as shall any right to an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) that existed prior to the Forced Conversion but that had not yet been made.

 

(e)           Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/100th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

 

  9  

 

 

(f)           Series A Conversion . Notwithstanding any language in this Warrant to the Contrary, neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted under this Warrant as a result of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including in Section 3(nn) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.           RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, 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 shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

4.           PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

 

(a)           Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock or shares of stock convertible into Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage); further provided that in the event of any Purchase Rights due in relation to a grant, issue or sale to record holders of shares of stock convertible into Common Stock, the amount of Purchase Rights to be received by the Holder shall be determined by calculating the Purchase Rights the holders of the record holders of shares of stock Convertible into Common Stock received per share of Common Stock underlying such class of stock convertible into Common Stock.

(b)           Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and 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 adjustments to the 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 (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).

(c)           Black Scholes Value .

In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) may submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder or the Company (as the case may be) learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price, fair market value or otherwise (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank of nationally recognized standing or other independent professional organization of equal reputation and standing selected jointly by the Holder and the Company (each proposed organization being subject to the consent of the other party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (b) if acceptable to the Holder, the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.

Such investment bank’s, professional organization’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The party whose determination or calculation is furthest from that determined or calculation by the investment bank or accountant shall pay the costs of such determination or calculation.

 

15.          REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual or consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant may be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance or stamp tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

1.           EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)           Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). 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. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise, one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the " Warrant Share Delivery Deadline ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided that such shares of Common Stock are unrestricted, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if such shares of Common Stock are restricted, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice (unless such exercise is pursuant to a valid Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b)           Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $1.25 subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue (or cause to be issued) to the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to either (i) with respect to restricted shares, 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of restricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a), or (ii) with respect to unrestricted securities, 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). If on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, and if on or after such Warrant Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price less the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) ”B” as set out in the formula in Section 1(d).

 

  3  

 

 

(d)           Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at any time after one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Warrant Shares to be received upon the cash exercise of this Warrant are not freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

B= as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

 

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

 

(e)           Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.

(f)           Limitations on Exercises . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and any other Persons acting as a group together (" Attribution Parties ")) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder (and such Holder's Attribution Parties) of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder (and its Attribution Parties) sending such notice and not to any other Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.

 

  5  

 

 

(g)           Insufficient Authorized Shares . The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”) (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

2.           ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case (a) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (b) the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section occurs, the Mandatory Notice Trading Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

  6  

 

 

(b)           Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)           Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  7  

 

 

(iii)        Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If (A) the purchase or exercise price provided for in any outstanding Options decreases to a purchase price or exercise price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such decreased purchase or exercise price of such Option, or (B) the conversion price of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases to a conversion price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such conversion price . For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, the price adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

  8  

 

 

(v)          Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(c)           Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then such dispute shall be settled pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of this Warrant.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock . The provisions of Section 2(b) and 2(c) shall cease to be effective upon the occurrence of a forced conversion of all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (a “Forced Conversion”), provided that any adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) prior to the Forced Conversion shall remain in full force and effect as shall any right to an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) that existed prior to the Forced Conversion but that had not yet been made.

 

(e)           Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/100th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

 

  9  

 

 

(f)           Series A Conversion . Notwithstanding any language in this Warrant to the Contrary, neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted under this Warrant as a result of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including in Section 3(nn) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.           RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, 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 shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

4.           PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

 

(a)           Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock or shares of stock convertible into Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage); further provided that in the event of any Purchase Rights due in relation to a grant, issue or sale to record holders of shares of stock convertible into Common Stock, the amount of Purchase Rights to be received by the Holder shall be determined by calculating the Purchase Rights the holders of the record holders of shares of stock Convertible into Common Stock received per share of Common Stock underlying such class of stock convertible into Common Stock.

 

  10  

 

 

(b)           Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and 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 adjustments to the 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 (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).

 

  11  

 

 

(c)           Black Scholes Value . Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time commencing on the earliest to occur of (x) the public disclosure of any Fundamental Transaction, (y) the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction and (z) the Holder first becoming aware of any Fundamental Transaction through the date that is ninety (90) days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value.

 

(d)           Application . The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants, options or other instruments or securities) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants, options or other instruments or securities)).

 

(e)           Forced Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock . The provisions of this Section 4 (other than the provisions of Section 4(b)) shall cease to be effective upon the occurrence of a Forced Conversion, provided that the applicable provisions of this Section 4 (other than the provisions of Section 4(b)) shall remain in effect with regards to any right granted to the Holder under this Section 4 (other than the provisions of Section 4(b)) prior to the Forced Conversion.

 

5.           MANDATORY EXERCISE

 

(a)           Mandatory Exercise Right of the Company. At any time after the Issuance Date, the Company may require the Holder to exercise all, but not less than all (subject to Section 1(f)), of the unexercised portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that, as of the date on which the Company provides notice to the Holder of such mandatory exercise (the “ Mandatory Exercise Notice Date ”), (i) the last reported sale price of Common Stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date exceeded $2.00 (the “ Mandatory Notice Trading Price ”), and (ii) the aggregate dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on any of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date is not less than $150,000 per day on the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is listed or designated for quotation as of such date of determination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be permitted to deliver a Mandatory Exercise Notice (as defined below) if (1) the Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale of all of the Warrant Shares or the Warrant Shares to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant shall not be freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, (2) the Company shall have failed to timely deliver any Warrant Shares pursuant to the proper exercise of this Warrant, and (3) the Common Stock shall not be listed or quoted for trading on an Eligible Market.

 

  12  

 

 

(b)           Mandatory Exercise Procedure . In connection with any such mandatory exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall deliver an irrevocable written notice (the “ Mandatory Exercise Notice ”) to each Holder stating that the Company shall exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5 and specifying the number of underlying shares of Common Stock to be acquired by such Holder and the date on which the exercise of the Warrant is to be consummated, which date shall be three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Mandatory Exercise Notice is given to each Holder (the “ Mandatory Exercise Closing Date ”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, on any such Mandatory Exercise Closing Date, each Holder shall exercise its Warrants and acquire the underlying shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in this Warrant and the Mandatory Exercise Notice.

 

(c)           Failure to Mandatory Exercise . In the event that the Holder does not exercise this Warrant (with respect to the number of underlying shares of Common Stock listed in the Mandatory Exercise Notice) prior to the Mandatory Exercise Closing Date, the Holder shall forfeit any rights under this Warrant, including the right to exercise this Warrant to the extent not previously exercised prior to the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date, and this Warrant shall be treated as canceled for all purposes; provided, however, in the event that the Holder or the Company has initiated a dispute pursuant to Section 14 regarding whether the mandatory exercise was valid pursuant to this Section 5, this Warrant shall not be canceled until such dispute is resolved in favor of the Company.

 

6.           NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and including any certificate of designations), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant (or such other securities, cash, assets or other property then deliverable on exercise of this Warrant), and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 150% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

  13  

 

 

7.           WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such information if it is filed with the SEC through EDGAR and available to the public through the EDGAR system.

 

8.           REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS .

 

(a)           Transfer of Warrant . If this Warrant is to be transferred pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will promptly issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)), registered as the Holder may reasonably request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

14.          DISPUTE RESOLUTION . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares (as the case may be), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) may submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder or the Company (as the case may be) learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price, fair market value or otherwise (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank of nationally recognized standing or other independent professional organization of equal reputation and standing selected jointly by the Holder and the Company (each proposed organization being subject to the consent of the other party, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (b) if acceptable to the Holder, the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.

Such investment bank’s professional organization’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

15.          REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual or consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant may be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance or stamp tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

On or before the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise, one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the " Warrant Share Delivery Deadline ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided that such shares of Common Stock are unrestricted, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if such shares of Common Stock are restricted, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice (unless such exercise is pursuant to a valid Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant to the contrary, no more than the Maximum Eligibility Number of Warrant Shares shall be exercisable hereunder.

(b)           Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $1.00 subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue (or cause to be issued) to the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to either (i) with respect to restricted shares, 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of restricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a), or (ii) with respect to unrestricted securities, 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). If on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, and if on or after such Warrant Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price less the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) ”B” as set out in the formula in Section 1(d).

(d)           Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at any time after one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Warrant Shares to be received upon the cash exercise of this Warrant are not freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

  Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
   
  B
   
  For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B= as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

 

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

 

(e)           Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.

 

  4  
 

 

(f)           Limitations on Exercises . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and any other Persons acting as a group together (" Attribution Parties ")) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder (and such Holder's Attribution Parties) of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder (and its Attribution Parties) sending such notice and not to any other Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.

 

  5  
 

 

(g)           Insufficient Authorized Shares . The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”) (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

2.             ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case (a) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (b) the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section occurs, the Mandatory Notice Trading Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

  6  
 

 

(b)           Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)           Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  7  
 

 

(iii)         Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If (A) the purchase or exercise price provided for in any outstanding Options decreases to a purchase price or exercise price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such decreased purchase or exercise price of such Option, or (B) the conversion price of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases to a conversion price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at s uch time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such conversion price . For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, the price adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

  8  
 

 

(v)          Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(c)           Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then such dispute shall be settled pursuant to the terms of Section 13 of this Warrant.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock . The provisions of Section 2(b) and 2(c) shall cease to be effective upon the occurrence of a forced conversion of all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (a “Forced Conversion”), provided that any adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) prior to the Forced Conversion shall remain in full force and effect as shall any right to an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) that existed prior to the Forced Conversion but that had not yet been made.

 

(e)           Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/100th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

 

  9  
 

 

(f)           Series A Conversion . Notwithstanding any language in this Warrant to the Contrary, neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted under this Warrant as a result of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including in Section 3(nn) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.             RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, 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 shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

4.             PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

 

(a)           Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock or shares of stock convertible into Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage); further provided that in the event of any Purchase Rights due in relation to a grant, issue or sale to record holders of shares of stock convertible into Common Stock, the amount of Purchase Rights to be received by the Holder shall be determined by calculating the Purchase Rights the holders of the record holders of shares of stock Convertible into Common Stock received per share of Common Stock underlying such class of stock convertible into Common Stock.

 

  10  
 

 

(b)           Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and 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 adjustments to the 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 (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant).

 

  11  
 

 

(c)           Black Scholes Value . Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time commencing on the earliest to occur of (x) the public disclosure of any Fundamental Transaction, (y) the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction and (z) the Holder first becoming aware of any Fundamental Transaction through the date that is ninety (90) days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value.

14.           REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual or consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant may be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance or stamp tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

Date of Issuance: November 13, 2015 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [———] , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [———] (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Warrant is one of the warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “ SPA Warrants ”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2015, by and among the Company and the investor(s) thereunder (the “ Buyer ” or “ Buyers ” as applicable) referred to therein (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”).

 

     

 

 

1.           EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)           Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (in respect of such specific exercise, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). 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. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate and issuance of a new Warrant certificate evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant certificate after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the later of (i) three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice and (ii) other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise, one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Aggregate Exercise Price (such later date, the " Warrant Share Delivery Deadline ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (which the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to do at Holder’s request) and provided that such shares of Common Stock are unrestricted, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or if such shares of Common Stock are restricted, issue and deliver to the Holder or, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, the Holder’s agent or designee, in each case, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee (as indicated in the applicable Exercise Notice), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered within two (2) Trading Days after delivery of the Exercise Notice (unless such exercise is pursuant to a valid Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes and fees which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant to the contrary, no more than the Maximum Eligibility Number of Warrant Shares shall be exercisable hereunder.

(b)           Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $1.50 subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)           Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue (or cause to be issued) to the Holder on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each Trading Day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to either (i) with respect to restricted shares, 1% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of restricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a), or (ii) with respect to unrestricted securities, 2% of the product of (A) the aggregate number of unrestricted shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). If on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) the Warrant Shares required to be delivered in accordance with, and in the manner required by, Section 1(a) above, and if on or after such Warrant Share Delivery Deadline the Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such exercise that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price less the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (B) ”B” as set out in the formula in Section 1(d).

 

  3  

 

 

(d)           Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at any time after one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following the Issuance Date, the Warrant Shares to be received upon the cash exercise of this Warrant are not freely tradable by Holder without restriction of any kind or nature, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

 

B

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B= as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

 

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

 

(e)           Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the Net Number), the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 14.

 

  4  

 

 

(f)           Limitations on Exercises . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and any other Persons acting as a group together (" Attribution Parties ")) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties) and of which such securities shall be exercisable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder (and such Holder's Attribution Parties) of this Warrant. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Warrant or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder (and its Attribution Parties) sending such notice and not to any other Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.

 

  5  

 

 

(g)           Insufficient Authorized Shares . The Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder (without regard to any limitation otherwise contained herein with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the SPA Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”) (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, to the extent required by law or the rules of the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

2.           ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case (a) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (b) the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price under this Section occurs, the Mandatory Notice Trading Price shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

  6  

 

 

(b)           Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i)           Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

  7  

 

 

(iii)         Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If (A) the purchase or exercise price provided for in any outstanding Options decreases to a purchase price or exercise price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such decreased purchase or exercise price of such Option, or (B) the conversion price of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases to a conversion price that is less than the Exercise Price in effect at such time (other than in relation to a stock split or stock dividend that has affected the Exercise Price on a pro-rata basis), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such conversion price . For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, the price adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10 th ) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

  8  

 

 

(v)          Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

 

(c)           Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then such dispute shall be settled pursuant to the terms of Section 13 of this Warrant.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock . The provisions of Section 2(b) and 2(c) shall cease to be effective upon the occurrence of a forced conversion of all of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (a “Forced Conversion”), provided that any adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) prior to the Forced Conversion shall remain in full force and effect as shall any right to an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) that existed prior to the Forced Conversion but that had not yet been made.

 

(e)           Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/100th of cent and the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

 

  9  

 

 

(f)           Series A Conversion . Notwithstanding any language in this Warrant to the Contrary, neither the Exercise Price nor the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted under this Warrant as a result of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including in Section 3(nn) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.           RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, 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 shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

 

4.           PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

 

(a)           Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock or shares of stock convertible into Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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 (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage); further provided that in the event of any Purchase Rights due in relation to a grant, issue or sale to record holders of shares of stock convertible into Common Stock, the amount of Purchase Rights to be received by the Holder shall be determined by calculating the Purchase Rights the holders of the record holders of shares of stock Convertible into Common Stock received per share of Common Stock underlying such class of stock convertible into Common Stock.

2.           Registration .

 

(a)           Mandatory Registration .

Such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by each of the Buyers or the SEC) the “ Selling Stockholders ” and “ Plan of Distribution ” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C . The Company shall use its best efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

 

(b)           Legal Counsel . Subject to Section 5 hereof, each of Iroquois Master Fund Ltd.

(c)           Use of Form S-3 .

In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or a Holder’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC).

(e)           Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement . If (i) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f) but subject to reduction pursuant to 2(f)) and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement (a “ Filing Failure ”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof, the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “ Effectiveness Failure ”) (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in accordance with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined below), on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f) but subject to reduction pursuant to 2(f)) cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “ Maintenance Failure ”), or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (a “ Current Public Information Failure ”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities (excluding the Broker) relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Investor’s Stated Value (as defined in the certificate of designations, preferences and rights for the Series B Stock (1) on the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) two percent (2%) of such Investor’s Stated Value on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “ Registration Delay Payments .” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the first (1 st ) Business Day immediately following the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3 rd ) Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months), or the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law, until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payment shall be required with respect to any delay or limitation resulting from any subject matter described in Section 2(f) below.

 

  5  

 

 

(f)           Offering . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the staff of the SEC (the “ Staff ”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Holders participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to Legal Counsel) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Holders until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Holders on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Holder) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Holder or a particular set of Holders are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the shares held by such Holder or set of Holders shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Holders on a pro rata basis by such Holders or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Holders), provided that in the event of any such pro rata reduction,

 

  6  

 

 

(i) The number of Broker Warrant Shares shall first be reduced until all Broker Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required),

 

(ii) the number of Series E Warrant Shares shall first be reduced until all Series E Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required),

 

(iii) then the number of Series D Warrant Shares shall first be reduced until all Series D Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required),

 

(iv) then the number of Series C Warrant Shares shall first be reduced until all Series C Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required),

 

(v) then the number of Series A Warrant Shares shall be reduced until all Series B Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required),

 

(vi) then the number of Series B Warrant Shares shall be reduced until all Series A Warrant Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required), and

 

(vii) then the number of Underlying Series B Shares shall be reduced until all Underlying Series B Shares have been eliminated from such Registration Statement (if so required).

 

In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Holder seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Holder does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Holder, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Holder accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within six (6) months of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above).

 

  7  

 

 

(g)           Piggyback Registrations . Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, or any (post-effective) amendments or supplements on form S-3 or other form to SEC Registration No. 333- 333-200664), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement.

 

(h)           Allocation of Registrable Securities . The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise transfers any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes a Holder shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Holders, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders which are covered by such Registration Statement.

 

  8  

 

 

(i)           No Inclusion of Other Securities . In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of (i) the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities at that time and (ii) Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. (or any “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended to which it has transferred Registrable Securities) as long as Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. (or such affiliate) is a holder of Registrable Securities on the applicable date. Except as disclosed in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule related thereto, until the Applicable Date, the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security holders.

 

3.           Related Obligations .

 

The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a)          The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline but subject to reduction pursuant to 2(f)) and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Holders on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Holders may sell all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (ii) the date on which the Holders shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “ Registration Period ”).

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

10.          Amendment of Registration Rights .

 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and holders of at least 66% of the Registrable Securities (other than the Broker Warrants). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

11.          Miscellaneous .

 

(a)           Conflict; Record Holder . Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns, or is deemed to own, of record such Registrable Securities.

(c)           No Waiver; Injunctions . Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and each Holder acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by any other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled by law or equity.

 

  21  

 

 

(d)           Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall (i) limit or be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or (ii) operate, or be deemed to operate, to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer or (iii) limit, or be deemed to limit, any provision of the Warrants which is contrary to the above. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(e)           Entire Agreement . This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Holder has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Holder in the Company, (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights of or benefits to any Holder or any other Person in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Holder and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.

(g)           Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

  22  

 

 

(h)           Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

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

 

(j)           No Strict Construction; Default Terms . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used in this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Holder.

 

(k)           Independent Nature of Holder’s Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Holder under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Re:        Effectiveness of Registration Statement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), is a party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”) entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “ Holders ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders Series B Shares (the “ Series B Shares ”) convertible into the Company’s shares of common stock (the “ Common Stock ”), and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrants ”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares the exercise of the Warrants and the exercise of the Broker Warrants (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS], and [we][I] have no knowledge that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

As long as the Registration Statement remains effective, upon the receipt of a prospectus delivery letter from the broker executing the sale, you need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of such shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated November 13, 2015.

 

 

 

 

  Very truly yours,
   
  NEUROTROPE, INC.

EXHIBIT C

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Series B Shares and exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Series B Shares and the warrants, see “Private Placement of Series B Shares and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Series B Shares and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and as described below with respect to certain selling shareholders (including certain officers and directors of the Company), the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of common stock, Series B Shares and warrants, as of ________, 2015, assuming conversion of the Series B Shares and exercise of the warrants held by each such selling stockholder on that date but taking account of any limitations on conversion and exercise set forth therein.

 

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Series B Shares set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the warrants set forth therein.

 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the Series B Shares and the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the resale of 150% of the sum of (i) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, in each case, determined as if the outstanding Series B Shares and warrants were converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained therein) as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price of the Series B Shares and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Series B Shares and the warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the Series B Shares or exercise the warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 9.99%. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Shares and exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the Series B Shares and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

· on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

· in the over-the-counter market;

 

· in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

· through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

· privately negotiated transactions;

 

· short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

· agreements between broker-dealers and the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

 

 

· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Series B Shares, warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

 

 

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

5.           Delivery of Broker Warrant Shares .

 

(a)           To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Broker Warrant unless this Broker Warrant is being exercised for all of the remaining Broker Warrant Shares represented by this Broker Warrant . Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Broker Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Broker Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder in cash or by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder , a certificate for the Broker Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise , which, if at the time the Broker Warrant is exercised there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Broker Warrant Shares and if the legend is not required by applicable law, shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall deliver any objection to any such Exercise Notice form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Broker Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), use its reasonable efforts to deliver Broker Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Broker Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation. A “ Date of Exercise ” means the date on which the Company has received from the Holder : (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Broker Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this Broker Warrant , payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Broker Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

 

(b)           If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Broker Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) , then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

(c)           The Company ’s obligations to issue and deliver Broker Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person , and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Broker Warrant Shares . Nothing herein shall limit a Holder ’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company ’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

6.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates to the Holder , all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company ; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Broker Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder . The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Broker Warrant or receiving Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

7.           Replacement of Warrant. If this Broker Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Broker Warrant , a New Warrant , but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Broker Warrant , then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company ’s obligation to issue the New Warrant .

 

8.           Reservation of Broker Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock , solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant as herein provided, the number of Broker Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Broker Warrant , free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9) . The Company covenants that all Broker Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.           Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Broker Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

 

 

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company , at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock , (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)           Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction , then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Broker Warrant , the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction , the holder of the number of Broker Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Broker Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). 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 Broker Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction . At the Holder ’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Broker Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder ’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Broker Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction .

 

(c)           Number of Broker Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9 , the number of Broker Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Broker Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Broker Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company , and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock .

 

 

 

 

(e)           Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Broker Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Broker Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company ’s transfer agent.

 

10.          Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)           Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)           Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when a registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Broker Warrant Shares is not then effective or the prospectus forming a part thereof is not then available to the Holder for the resale of the Broker Warrant Shares , then the Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize a cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Broker Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

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

 

Y = the number of Broker Warrant Shares with respect to which this Broker Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the twenty Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Date of Exercise.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Broker Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Broker Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Broker Warrant was originally issued.

 

11.          No Fractional Shares of Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Broker Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Broker Warrant . As to any fraction of a share that Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round up, as nearly as practicable to the nearest whole share of Common Stock , the number of Broker Warrant Shares to be issued.

 

 

 

 

12.          Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given to a party if (a) by personal delivery; ( b ) upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class mail, postage prepaid; (c) delivered by hand or by messenger or overnight courier, addressee signature required, to the addresses below or at such other address and/or to such other persons as shall have been furnished by the parties:

The Holder represents that by accepting this Broker Warrant it understands that this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant may not be registered for sale under federal or state securities laws and may be being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Broker Warrant and such securities have not been registered under federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Broker Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Broker Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder in cash or by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder , a certificate for the Broker Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise , which, if at the time the Broker Warrant is exercised there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Broker Warrant Shares and if the legend is not required by applicable law, shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall deliver any objection to any such Exercise Notice form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Broker Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), use its reasonable efforts to deliver Broker Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Broker Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation. A “ Date of Exercise ” means the date on which the Company has received from the Holder : (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Broker Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this Broker Warrant , payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Broker Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

 

(b)             If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Broker Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) , then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

(c)             The Company ’s obligations to issue and deliver Broker Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person , and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Broker Warrant Shares . Nothing herein shall limit a Holder ’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company ’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

6.              Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates to the Holder , all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company ; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Broker Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder . The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Broker Warrant or receiving Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

7.              Replacement of Warrant. If this Broker Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Broker Warrant , a New Warrant , but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Broker Warrant , then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company ’s obligation to issue the New Warrant .

 

8.              Reservation of Broker Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock , solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant as herein provided, the number of Broker Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Broker Warrant , free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9) . The Company covenants that all Broker Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.              Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Broker Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

 

 

 

(a)             Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company , at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock , (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)             Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction , then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Broker Warrant , the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction , the holder of the number of Broker Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Broker Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). 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 Broker Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction . At the Holder ’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Broker Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder ’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Broker Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction .

 

(c)             Number of Broker Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9 , the number of Broker Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Broker Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Broker Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)             Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company , and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock .

 

 

 

 

(e)             Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Broker Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Broker Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company ’s transfer agent.

 

10.          Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)            Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)            Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when a registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Broker Warrant Shares is not then effective or the prospectus forming a part thereof is not then available to the Holder for the resale of the Broker Warrant Shares , then the Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize a cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Broker Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

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

 

Y = the number of Broker Warrant Shares with respect to which this Broker Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the twenty Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Date of Exercise.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Broker Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Broker Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Broker Warrant was originally issued.

 

11.          No Fractional Shares of Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Broker Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Broker Warrant . As to any fraction of a share that Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round up, as nearly as practicable to the nearest whole share of Common Stock , the number of Broker Warrant Shares to be issued.

 

 

 

 

12.          Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given to a party if (a) by personal delivery; ( b ) upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class mail, postage prepaid; (c) delivered by hand or by messenger or overnight courier, addressee signature required, to the addresses below or at such other address and/or to such other persons as shall have been furnished by the parties:

Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of capital stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their capital stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or conversion or redemption, as the case may be; provided, however, in each case that such information shall be made known to the public through a press release, filing with the SEC , or other public announcement prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder , the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Such written notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the action in question and not less than 10 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company ’s transfer books are closed in respect thereto.

15.          Transferability.

The Holder represents that by accepting this Broker Warrant it understands that this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant may not be registered for sale under federal or state securities laws and may be being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Broker Warrant and such securities have not been registered under federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

7.            Replacement of Warrant. If this Broker Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Broker Warrant , a New Warrant , but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Broker Warrant , then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company ’s obligation to issue the New Warrant .

 

8.            Reservation of Broker Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock , solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Broker Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Broker Warrant as herein provided, the number of Broker Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Broker Warrant , free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9) . The Company covenants that all Broker Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.            Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Broker Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

 

 

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company , at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock , (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)           Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Broker Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction , then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Broker Warrant , the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction , the holder of the number of Broker Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Broker Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). 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 Broker Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction . At the Holder ’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Broker Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder ’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Broker Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction .

 

(c)           Number of Broker Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9 , the number of Broker Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Broker Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Broker Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company , and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock .

 

 

 

 

(e)           Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Broker Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Broker Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company ’s transfer agent.

 

10.          Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)           Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)           Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when a registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Broker Warrant Shares is not then effective or the prospectus forming a part thereof is not then available to the Holder for the resale of the Broker Warrant Shares , then the Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize a cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Broker Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

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

 

Y = the number of Broker Warrant Shares with respect to which this Broker Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the twenty Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Date of Exercise.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Broker Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Broker Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Broker Warrant was originally issued.

 

11.          No Fractional Shares of Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Broker Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Broker Warrant . As to any fraction of a share that Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round up, as nearly as practicable to the nearest whole share of Common Stock , the number of Broker Warrant Shares to be issued.

 

 

 

 

12.          Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given to a party if (a) by personal delivery; ( b ) upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class mail, postage prepaid; (c) delivered by hand or by messenger or overnight courier, addressee signature required, to the addresses below or at such other address and/or to such other persons as shall have been furnished by the parties:

In case any time: (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend on its capital stock; (2) the Company shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon its capital stock or make any distribution to the holders of its capital stock; (3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its capital stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (4) there shall be any capital reorganization, or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company , or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or (5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company ; then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice to the Holder . Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of capital stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their capital stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or conversion or redemption, as the case may be; provided, however, in each case that such information shall be made known to the public through a press release, filing with the SEC , or other public announcement prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder , the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. Such written notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the action in question and not less than 10 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company ’s transfer books are closed in respect thereto.

 

 

 

 

13.          Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement .

 

14.          Lock Up. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g), this Broker Warrant shall not be sold during the Offering , or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this Broker Warrant or the Broker Warrant Shares , by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the Offering , except as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of FINRA Rule 5110.

 

15.          Transferability. This Broker Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part and with the Company ’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon surrender of this Broker Warrant at the principal office of the Company , together with a written assignment of this Broker Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. The Holder represents that by accepting this Broker Warrant it understands that this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant may not be registered for sale under federal or state securities laws and may be being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. In the absence of an effective registration of such securities or an exemption therefrom, any certificates for such securities shall bear the legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Broker Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Broker Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Broker Warrant and such securities have not been registered under federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

 

16.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           This Broker Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Broker Warrant shall be construed to give to any person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Broker Warrant . This Broker Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(d)           In case any one or more of the provisions of this Broker Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Broker Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Broker Warrant .

 

(e)           Prior to exercise of this Broker Warrant , the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of by being a Holder , be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Broker Warrant Shares .

NEUROTROPE, INC.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO

PREFERRED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “ Amendment ”) to Preferred Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) is made as of November 13, 2015 (the “ Amendment Effective Date ”), by and among the stockholders who are a party to the Stockholders Agreement and currently hold the majority of the Registrable Securities currently outstanding (each, a “ Stockholder ”, and collectively, the “ Stockholders ”) and Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”) (the Company and the Stockholders, collectively, the “ Parties ”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in that certain Preferred Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2013 (as amended, the “ Stockholders Agreement ”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS , the Parties are each a party to the Stockholders Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS , pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Stockholders Agreement, Section 2 of the Stockholders Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of Section 2 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; and

 

WHEREAS , and the Stockholders who have executed this Amendment currently hold the majority of the Registrable Securities currently outstanding; and

 

WHEREAS , the Parties desire to amend the Stockholders Agreement in order to amend and waive certain registration rights contained therein as such rights pertain to the registration obligations set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November ___, 2015 (the “ SPA ”), by and among the Company and the Buyers (as such term is defined in the SPA), and the various agreements relating to the SPA, including the registration obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the same date as the SPA, by and among the Company and the Buyers (the “ RRA ”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein, and the execution of the other agreements referenced above, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           Representations of the Company .

 

(a)          The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Stockholders that on December 1, 2014 it filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file number 333-200664) with the SEC, which was amended by the Company (by pre-effective amendments) and declared effective by the SEC on February 12, 2015 at 5:00 P.M. On April 8, 2015, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 (on Form S-1/A) with the SEC with respect to the same registration statement, which was declared effective on May 11, 2015 (such registration statement as amended and supplemented from time-to-time, the “ S-1 Registration Statement ”). As of the date of this Amendment, the SEC has not issued a stop-order with respect to the S-1 Registration Statement.

 

 

 

 

(b)          With a view to making available to the Stockholders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Stockholder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to an applicable registration statement, the Company shall make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144.

 

2.           Indemnification .

 

(a)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Stockholder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Stockholder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Stockholder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Stockholder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Stockholder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Stockholder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

 

(b)          To the extent permitted by law, each selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Stockholder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Stockholder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Stockholder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Stockholder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2 exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Stockholder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Stockholder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Stockholder.

 

  - 2 -  

 

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2   of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided , however , that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section ‎2, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section ‎2.

 

(d)          To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section ‎2 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section ‎2 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section ‎2, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided , however , that, in any such case, (x) no Stockholder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Stockholder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Stockholder’s liability pursuant to this Section ‎2 exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Stockholder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Stockholder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Stockholder.

 

  - 3 -  

 

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)          Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Stockholders under this Section ‎2 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section ‎2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

3.           Amendment of Section 2.2 (Company Registration) . Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Stockholders Agreement, Section 2.2 of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended to include the following as a new sentence following the last sentence of Section 2.2:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.2 shall not apply and shall have no force or effect with respect to the registration statement(s) contemplated by the SPA, the RRA and related agreements.”

 

4.           Amendment of Section 2.10 (Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights) . Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Stockholders Agreement, Section 2.10 of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended to include the following as a new sentence following the last sentence of Section 2.10:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.10 shall not apply and shall have no force or effect with respect to the registration statement(s) contemplated by the SPA, the RRA and related agreements.”

 

5.           Amendment of Section 2.12 (Restrictions on Transfer) . Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Stockholders Agreement, Section 2.12 of the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated (both retroactively and prospectively) to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“2.12          Restrictions on Transfer .

 

“(a)          The Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, that is not made in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

 

  - 4 -  

 

 

“(b)          Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless resold pursuant to a Public Offering (as hereafter defined) or SEC Rule 144 or as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.12‎(c) hereof or as otherwise permitted by applicable securities laws) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

 

“The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.12 . The provisions of Section 2, including without limitation the transfer restrictions pursuant to this Subsection 2.12 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect with respect to any (former) Restricted Securities following the sale or other transfer of such Restricted Securities pursuant to a Public Offering or SEC Rule 144 or as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 2.12‎(c) hereof or as otherwise permitted by applicable securities law.

 

“(c)          The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section ‎2 . If reasonably requested by the Company, any proposed transfer that is not made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Subsection ‎2.12 . A stock certificate shall not bear a restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act. The obligations set forth in this Subsection 2.12 are in addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.”

 

6.           Waiver of Section 6 (Lock-Up) . The Company hereby waives any rights pursuant to Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

  - 5 -  

 

 

7.           Conversion to Form S-3 . Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Stockholders Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended to include the following as a new Section 2.15:

 

“2.15          Conversion to Form S-3 . Promptly following the filing of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the RRA) as contemplated in Section 2(a) of the RRA, if the Company is then eligible to do so, it shall prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, to convert the S-1 Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3.”

 

8.           Defined Terms . The parties hereby agree that the Stockholders Agreement is further amended to incorporate by reference the additional terms defined herein, including without limitation the definitions of SPA, RRA and S-1 Registration Statement.

 

9.           Waiver . The Company and the Stockholders hereby waive, retroactively and prospectively, any of the rights of the Stockholders of Registrable Securities under Section 2 of the Stockholders Agreement, to the extent such right conflicts or previously conflicted with the Stockholders Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

10.          Effect of this Amendment . This Amendment shall become effective upon execution by the Company and the Stockholders. There are no further changes to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. Except as would be inconsistent with the terms of this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected by this Amendment. The Stockholders Agreement, as amended hereby, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings and agreements concerning such subject matter.

 

11.          Facsimile and Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts by the Parties by signature of a person having authority to bind the Party, each of which when executed and delivered by facsimile, electronic transmission or by mail delivery, will be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
