Unit Offering

 

On December 29, 2015 and December 31, 2015, Intellinetics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the ”Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 1,160,067 units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, exercisable for five years from issuance at an exercise price of $0.65 per share (“Investor Warrants”). Each Unit was sold at a purchase price of $1.20 per Unit, for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,392,080.40 (the “Unit Offering”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Unit Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, debt reduction purposes.

 

Of the Units sold, 100,000 were sold to Michael Taglich (not in an individual capacity but as a trustee of various trusts), a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company retained Taglich Brothers, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) as the exclusive placement agent for the Unit Offering. In connection with the Unit Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash payment of $111,366.43, which represented an 8% commission of the gross proceeds. The Company has also committed to reimburse the Placement Agent for reasonable out of pocket expenses, FINRA filing fees and related legal fees in an amount of up to $30,000. In addition, the Placement Agent earned warrants to purchase 139,208 shares of Common Stock, which represented 10% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Unit Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), which have an exercise price of $0.715 per share, will be exercisable for a period of four years, contain customary cashless exercise and anti-dilution protection and are entitled to registration rights. The Placement Agent has certain material relationships with the Company: Robert Schroeder is a Director of the Company and also the Vice President of Investment Banking at the Placement Agent; Michael Taglich is a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock and also the Co-Founder, President & Chairman of the Placement Agent; and Robert Taglich is a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock and also the Co-Founder and Managing Director of the Placement Agent.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to (a) file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than March 29, 2016 covering the re-sale of the Common Stock shares sold in the Unit Offering and the Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants. The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such Registration Statement).

 

The shares of Common Stock and Investor Warrants sold in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.   This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Investor Warrants, and Placement Agent Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, copies of each of which are attached as exhibits 10.1-10.3, respectively, hereto.

 

Note Exchange Offering

 

On December 29, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Noteholders”), pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 5,421,916 shares and 2,018,041 warrants to the Noteholders in exchange for currently outstanding convertible notes issued by the Company (the “Note Exchange”) with an aggregate principal and accrued interest balance of $2,421,649. Each Noteholder received an amount of Common Stock equal to each note’s currently outstanding principal and accrued interest, divided by each such note’s applicable conversion rate. In addition each Noteholder received warrants to purchase Common Stock (on terms identical to the Investor Warrants) in an amount equal to 50% of the converted principal and interest, divided by 0.6 (the “Noteholder Warrants”).

 

 

 

 

Among the Noteholders participating in the Note Exchange, several have material relationships with the Company:

 

o Michael Taglich, a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, converted principal and interest of $1,019,985;
o Robert Taglich, a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock, converted principal and interest of $1,019,985;
o Robert Schroeder, a Director of the Company, converted principal and interest of $58,065; and
o Murray Gross, a Director of the Company, converted principal and interest of $63,803.

 

The Company retained the Placement Agent as the exclusive placement agent for the Note Exchange. In connection with the Note Exchange, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash payment of $193,731.90, which represented an 8% commission of the total principal and interest amount converted. In addition, the Placement Agent earned warrants to purchase 542,191 shares of Common Stock, which represented 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Note Exchange (also referred to as “Placement Agent Warrants”), which have an exercise price of $0.715 per share, will be exercisable for a period of four years, contain customary cashless exercise and anti-dilution protection and are entitled to registration rights.

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to (a) file a registration statement (also referred to as the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC no later than March 29, 2016 covering the re-sale of the Common Stock shares sold in the Note Exchange and the Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Noteholder Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants. The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective as soon as possible after filing (and in any event within 90 days of the filing of such Registration Statement).

 

The shares of Common Stock and the Noteholder Warrants sold in the Note Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Noteholders are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.   This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.

It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.3 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

6.1.          Transfer or Resale . Each Investor understands that:

 

(i)          Except as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion of the Shares has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of the Shares may not be transferred unless:

 

(A)         the Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

 

(B)         the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;

 

15  

 

 

(C)         the Shares are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“ Rule 144 ”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares only in accordance with this Section 6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor;

 

(D)         the Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

 

(E)         the Shares are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“ Regulation S ”);

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

6.2            Transfer Agent Instructions . If an Investor provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer and promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

6.3            Public Information .  At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “ Public Information Failure ”) then, in addition to such Investor’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to each Investor, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Investor’s Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30 th ) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required  for the Investors to transfer the Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.3 are referred to herein as “ Public Information Failure Payments .”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3 rd ) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Investor shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

(a)          The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “ Losses ”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

(b)          Promptly after receipt by any Investor (the “ Indemnified Person ”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.

19

9.9.            Binding Effect; Benefits . This Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any persons other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.14          Independent Nature of Investors . The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement or other transaction document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other transaction document.

Nothing contained herein or in any other transaction document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document, each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Warrant No. ______

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME,
ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

 

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR WITHOUT DELIVERING AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Intellinetics, Inc. , a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time commencing on the date hereof but no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on ________ __, 202_ (the “ Expiration Date ”), to ____________ _________, or his, her or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, _____________________________ (_________) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ( the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price per share of $0.65 (the “ Warrant Price ”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant (this “ Warrant ”). The number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (“ Warrant Shares ”) and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.

 

This Warrant is issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated ________ __, 201_ in connection with the Company’s offering pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum dated December 11, 2015, as amended or supplemented.

 

1.             Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)          The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to the terms and conditions set forth herein by delivering to the Company (whether via facsimile or otherwise) at any time prior to the Expiration Date (such date of exercise, the “ Exercise Date ”) (i) the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”) (having then been duly executed by the Holder), and (ii) unless the Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), cash, a certified check, a bank draft or wire transfer in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form. 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 Form with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

(b)          On or before the second (2 nd ) Trading Day following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives payment of the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises) (such later date, the “ Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of 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, 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 the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises), 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all Warrant Shares prior to the fifth (5 th ) business day after the Delivery Date with respect to an exercise of any portion of this Warrant for any reason, then Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter until receipt of all the Warrant Shares relating to the Exercise Notice, to rescind the Exercise Notice by providing notice to the Company (the “ Rescission Notice ”). Upon delivery of a Rescission Notice to the Company, the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Warrant with respect to such unexercised portions of this Warrant and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, return such unexercised Warrant to the Holder or, if the Warrant has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Warrant has not been exercised. In addition, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the close of business on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, or (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(c)          This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, at the request of the Holder and upon delivery of the original Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by cash payment in the manner set forth in Section 1(a), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, and to pay for the Warrant Stock by way of cashless exercise (a “ Cashless Exercise ”). If the Holder wishes to effect a cashless exercise, the Holder shall deliver the Exercise Notice duly executed by such Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed according to the following equation:

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

 

Y = the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant Shares being exercised.

 

A = the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant).

 

For purposes of this Section 1(d), the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date shall have one of the following meanings:

 

(1)         if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange registered with the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices over a five trading day period immediately prior to the Exercise Date. For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Price” means the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg; or

 

(2)         if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices price over the ten (10) trading day period ending immediately prior to the Exercise Date; or

 

(3)         if neither (1) nor (2) is applicable, the Fair Market Value shall be at the commercially reasonable price per share which the Company could obtain on the Exercise Date from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

For illustration purposes only, if this Warrant entitles the Holder the right to purchase 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Holder were to exercise this Warrant for 50,000 Warrant Shares at a time when the Exercise Price per share was $1.00 and the Fair Market Value of each share of Common Stock was $2.00 on the Exercise Date, as applicable, the cashless exercise calculation would be as follows:

 

X = 50,000 ($2.00-$1.00)

2.00

 

X = 25,000

 

Therefore, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder after giving effect to the cashless exercise would be 25,000 Warrant Shares and this Warrant would then entitle the Holder to purchase 50,000 Warrant Shares, reflecting the portion of this Warrant not exercised by the Holder. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in the cashless exercise transaction described pursuant to Section 1(c) shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of the Holder’s acquisition of the Warrant.

 

3

 

 

(e)          No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional Warrant Shares. The price of a fractional Warrant Share shall equal the product of (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded (if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded, then upon the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors)), and (ii) the applicable fraction.

 

(f)          Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.

 

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

 

2.             Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.

 

(a)          The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Act ”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he, she or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for his, her or its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b)          The Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until he, she or it shall have first obtained an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (competent in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law.

 

(c)          If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act and the Warrant Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act, the Company may, at its election, require that any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES) SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.”

 

4

 

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

3.             Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and payment of the exercise price therefor, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

 

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

 

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

 

4.             Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . Subject to Section 2, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of the Company (“ Warrants ”) of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Subject to Section 2, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Assignment Form ”) duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in the Assignment Form and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Subject to Section 2, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

5.             Capital Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

(a)           Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession . If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

5

 

 

(b)           Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(c)           Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock that Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.

 

(d)           Price Adjustments . Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Sections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), the then applicable Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(e)           Certain Shares Excluded . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.

 

(f)           Deferral and Cumulation of De Minimis Adjustments . The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event that would otherwise have given rise to such adjustment. In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue fractional Warrant Shares or fractional portions of any securities upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

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

 

6.             Notice to Holders .

 

(a)          Notice of Record Date. In case:

 

(i)          the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(ii)         of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

(iii)        of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

6

 

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least ten (10) days prior to such specified date.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, without expense to the Holder, a new Warrant of like tenor dated the date hereof.

  

8.             Warrant Holder Not a Stockholder . The Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, including but not limited to voting rights. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

PLACEMENT AGENT WARRANT

 

INTELLINETICS, INC.

 

Warrant No. PA-_____

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME,
ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

 

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Intellinetics, Inc. , a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time commencing on the date hereof but no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 29, 2020 or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, _______________ (_______) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ( the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price per share of eight cents ($0.715) (the “ Warrant Price ”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant (this “ Warrant ”). The number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (“ Warrant Shares ”) and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.

 

1. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to the terms and conditions set forth herein by delivering to the Company, at the address set forth in Section 11 prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at any time prior to the Expiration Date (such date of exercise, the “ Exercise Date ”) (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Subscription Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Subscription Form ”) (having then been duly executed by the Holder), (iii) unless the Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined below), cash, a certified check or a bank draft in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form.

 

(b) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1(a), the Holder may elect to exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, and to pay for the Warrant Stock by way of cashless exercise (a “ Cashless Exercise ”). If the Holder wishes to effect a cashless exercise, the Holder shall deliver the Exercise Notice duly executed by such Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed according to the following equation:

 

 

 

  1  

 

 

; where

 

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

 

Y = the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant Shares being exercised.

 

A = the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant).

 

For purposes of this Section 1(c), the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date shall have one of the following meanings:

 

(1) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the Closing Price on the trading day preceding the Exercise Date. For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Price” means the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg; or

 

(2) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the Closing Price on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date; or

 

(3) if neither (1) nor (2) is applicable, the Fair Market Value shall be at the commercially reasonable price per share which the Company could obtain on the Exercise Date from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

For illustration purposes only, if this Warrant entitles the Holder the right to purchase 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Holder were to exercise this Warrant for 50,000 Warrant Shares at a time when the Exercise Price per share was $1.00 and the Fair Market Value of each share of Common Stock was $2.00 on the Exercise Date, as applicable, the cashless exercise calculation would be as follows:

 

X = 50,000 ($2.00-$1.00)

2.00

 

X = 25,000

 

Therefore, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder after giving effect to the cashless exercise would be 25,000 Warrant Shares and the Company would issue the Holder a new Warrant to purchase 50,000 Warrant Shares, reflecting the portion of this Warrant not exercised by the Holder. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in the cashless exercise transaction described pursuant to Section 1(c) shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of the Holder’s acquisition of the Warrant.

 

(d) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional Warrant Shares. The price of a fractional Warrant Share shall equal the product of (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded (if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded, then upon the fair market value per share of the Common Stock (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors)), and (ii) the applicable fraction.

 

(e) In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder on the stock transfer books of the Company, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the Company’s stock transfer books are open. Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.

  

  2  

 

 

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

 

2. Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.

 

(a) The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Act ”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he, she or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for his, her or its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b) The Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until he, she or it shall have first have given notice to the Company describing such Transfer and furnished to the Company (i) a statement from the transferee, whereby the transferee represents and warrants that he, she, or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares, as applicable, for investment for his, her or its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and either (ii) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (competent in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (iii) an interpretative letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act.

 

(c) If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may, at its election, require that (i) the Holder provide written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent to the Company, and (ii) any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES) SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.”

 

  3  

 

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that, after the shareholders of the Company increase the authorized shares of the Company, at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that, after the shareholders of the Company increase the authorized shares of the Company, all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and payment of the exercise price therefor, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

 

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

 

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

 

Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . Subject to Section 2, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of the Company (“ Warrants ”) of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Subject to Section 2, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with (a) the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Assignment Form ”) duly executed, (b) an opinion of counsel to the Holder (if required by the Company), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, that registration under the Securities Act is not required, and (c) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in the Assignment Form and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Subject to Section 2, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

Capital Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

(a) Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession .

(d) Price Adjustments . Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c) or 5(d), the then applicable Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue fractional Warrant Shares or fractional portions of any securities upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

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

The SEC Documents have been made available to the Noteholders via the SEC’s EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents (“Company Financial Statements”) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the Company Financial Statements, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than: (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30, 2015 (the fiscal period end of the Company’s most recently-filed periodic report), and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since September 30, 2015, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.7             Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective businesses, properties or assets or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. There has not been, and to the Company’s Knowledge, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Since September 30, 2015, except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there has not been:

(ii) Any effect, change or circumstance which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

(iii) Any incurrence of any material liability outside of the ordinary course of business.

4.10            No Integrated Offering . Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Shares to the Noteholders. The issuance of the Shares to the Noteholders will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

4.11            No Brokers . Except as set forth in Section 9.1, the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Exhibit 10.4

 

4.12            Internal Controls . The Company is in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed period report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308 of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

4.13            Disclosure . The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Noteholders or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Noteholders will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Noteholders regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, results of operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Noteholder makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.

 

4.14            Intellectual Property Rights . The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the Company’s Knowledge, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to take such measures would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.15            Tax Status . Except for occurrences that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4.16            Acknowledgement Regarding Noteholders’ Trading Activity . It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Noteholders have been asked by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Noteholder agreed with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold any of the Shares for any specified term; (ii) any Noteholder, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Noteholder is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which was established prior to such Noteholder’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) each Noteholder shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, one or more Noteholders may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Shares are outstanding, and such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.

 

4.17            Manipulation of Price . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Shares (other than the Placement Agent), or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Placement Agent).

 

4.18            Shell Company Status . The Company was previously a “shell issuer”, as defined in Rule 144(i)(1), promulgated under the Securities Act.

5.             Registration Rights .

 

5.1.           Mandatory Registration . The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the effective date of this Agreement, file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Noteholders and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then in effect and the availability for use of each prospectus contained therein until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 180 days after the effective date of this Agreement (or 90 days after such date when the Company is then obligated to file another Registration Statement).

Exhibit 10.4

 

5.2.           PiggyBack Registration . Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, whether for its own account or for the account of another stockholder (except for the registration of securities (A) to be offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan on Form S-8 or (B) pursuant to a registration made on Form S-4, or any successor forms then in effect) at any time and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), it will so notify in writing all holders of Registrable Securities no later than the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10 th ) day following the Company’s receipt of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will include in the Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis based upon the total number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within ten (10) business days after the applicable holder’s receipt of the Company’s notice.

 

5.3.           Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (ii) processing expenses of the Placement Agent, including, but not limited to, printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses and customary marketing expenses, (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Placement Agent, and (v) filing fees and counsel fees of the Placement Agent if a determination is made that a FINRA Rule 5110 filing is required to be made with respect to the Registration Statement.

 

5.4.           Offering . 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 Noteholders participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Noteholder) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement 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 (X) reduce, and if necessary, eliminate, in order, (i) any Registrable Securities that are not Shares or PA Warrant Shares then (ii) any Registrable Securities that are not Shares, then (Y) if necessary, reduce the number of shares to be included by all Noteholders on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Noteholder) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Noteholder or a particular set of Noteholders 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 Noteholder or set of Noteholders shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Noteholders on a pro rata basis by such Noteholders or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Noteholders).  In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Noteholder 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 Noteholder 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 Noteholder, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Noteholder accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Notwithstanding anything else to the foregoing, any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all securities that are not Registrable Securities. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Noteholder shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Noteholder, the Company to file a registration statement within thirty (30) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Noteholder in a manner acceptable to such Noteholder, 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 Noteholder have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Noteholder or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Noteholder 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 Noteholder agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Noteholder as to all Registrable Securities held by such Noteholder 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 a Noteholder multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Noteholder as contemplated above).

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Noteholder and its officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, representatives, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Noteholder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto, to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or the Private Placement Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “ Blue Sky Application ”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a Noteholder’s behalf and will reimburse such Noteholder, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim or action; provided , however , that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Noteholder or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus.

 

(b)           Indemnification by the Noteholders . Each Noteholder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partner, representatives and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Claims resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Noteholder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Noteholder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Noteholder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.3 and the amount of any damages such Noteholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Noteholder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

Exhibit 10.4

 

(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided , further , that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d)           Contribution . If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5.3 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

 

5.6.           Cooperation by Noteholder . Each Noteholder shall furnish to the Company or the Underwriter, as applicable, such information regarding the Noteholder and the distribution proposed by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. Each Noteholder shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Noteholder and its plan of distribution of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration statement, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.

Exhibit 10.4

 

6.             Transfer Restrictions .

 

6.1.           Transfer or Resale . Each Noteholder understands that:

 

(i)          Except as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion of the Shares has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of the Shares may not be transferred unless:

 

(A)         the Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

 

(B)         the Noteholder shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;

 

(C)         the Shares are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“ Rule 144 ”)) of the Noteholder who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares only in accordance with this Section 6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor;

 

(D)         the Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

 

(E)         the Shares are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“ Regulation S ”);

 

and, in each case, the Noteholder shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

6.2            Transfer Agent Instructions . If a Noteholder provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel, that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer and promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Noteholder. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Noteholders, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Noteholders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

6.3            Public Information .  At any time during the period commencing from the effective date of this Agreement and ending on the two (2) year anniversary of such date, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “ Public Information Failure ”) then, in addition to such Noteholder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to each Noteholder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Conversion Amount for each Noteholder on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30 th ) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Noteholders to transfer the Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which a Noteholder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.3 are referred to herein as “ Public Information Failure Payments .”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3 rd ) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Noteholder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Noteholder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

7.4           Indemnification .

 

(a)          The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Noteholder and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “ Losses ”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

(b)          Promptly after receipt by any Noteholder (the “ Indemnified Person ”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document, each Noteholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR WITHOUT DELIVERING AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Intellinetics, Inc. , a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time commencing on the date hereof but no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on ________ __, 202_ (the “ Expiration Date ”), to ____________ _________, or his, her or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, _____________________________ (_________) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ( the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price per share of $0.65 (the “ Warrant Price ”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant (this “ Warrant ”).

The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.

(b)          On or before the second (2 nd ) Trading Day following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives payment of the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises) (such later date, the “ Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of 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, 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 the later of (i) the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice or (ii) the date on which the Company receives the exercise price (which shall not apply for cashless exercises), 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all Warrant Shares prior to the fifth (5 th ) business day after the Delivery Date with respect to an exercise of any portion of this Warrant for any reason, then Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter until receipt of all the Warrant Shares relating to the Exercise Notice, to rescind the Exercise Notice by providing notice to the Company (the “ Rescission Notice ”). Upon delivery of a Rescission Notice to the Company, the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Warrant with respect to such unexercised portions of this Warrant and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, return such unexercised Warrant to the Holder or, if the Warrant has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Warrant has not been exercised. In addition, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise by the close of business on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, or (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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 Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(c)          This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, at the request of the Holder and upon delivery of the original Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by cash payment in the manner set forth in Section 1(a), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise this Warrant, or a portion hereof, and to pay for the Warrant Stock by way of cashless exercise (a “ Cashless Exercise ”). If the Holder wishes to effect a cashless exercise, the Holder shall deliver the Exercise Notice duly executed by such Holder or by such Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing prior to the date of such exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed according to the following equation:

 

  2  

 

 

 

; where

 

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

 

Y = the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant Shares being exercised.

 

A = the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant).

 

For purposes of this Section 1(d), the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date shall have one of the following meanings:

 

(1)         if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange registered with the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices over a five trading day period immediately prior to the Exercise Date. For the purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Price” means the closing sale price of one share of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg; or

 

(2)         if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices price over the ten (10) trading day period ending immediately prior to the Exercise Date; or

 

(3)         if neither (1) nor (2) is applicable, the Fair Market Value shall be at the commercially reasonable price per share which the Company could obtain on the Exercise Date from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

For illustration purposes only, if this Warrant entitles the Holder the right to purchase 100,000 Warrant Shares and the Holder were to exercise this Warrant for 50,000 Warrant Shares at a time when the Exercise Price per share was $1.00 and the Fair Market Value of each share of Common Stock was $2.00 on the Exercise Date, as applicable, the cashless exercise calculation would be as follows:

 

X = 50,000 ($2.00-$1.00)

2.00

 

X = 25,000

 

Therefore, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder after giving effect to the cashless exercise would be 25,000 Warrant Shares and this Warrant would then entitle the Holder to purchase 50,000 Warrant Shares, reflecting the portion of this Warrant not exercised by the Holder. For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in the cashless exercise transaction described pursuant to Section 1(c) shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date of the Holder’s acquisition of the Warrant.

 

(e)          No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional Warrant Shares. The price of a fractional Warrant Share shall equal the product of (i) the closing price of the Common Stock on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded (if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded, then upon the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors)), and (ii) the applicable fraction.

 

  3  

 

 

(f)          Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.

 

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

 

2.             Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.

 

(a)          The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Act ”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that he, she or it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for his, her or its own account, with no present intention of dividing his, her or its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

(b)          The Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until he, she or it shall have first obtained an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (competent in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law.

 

(c)          If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act and the Warrant Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act, the Company may, at its election, require that any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES) SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.”

 

  4  

 

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

3.             Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and payment of the exercise price therefor, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

 

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

 

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

 

4.             Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . Subject to Section 2, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of the Company (“ Warrants ”) of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Subject to Section 2, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Assignment Form ”) duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in the Assignment Form and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Subject to Section 2, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

5.            Capital Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

(a)           Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession . If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

  5  

 

 

(b)           Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(c)           Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock that Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.

 

(d)           Price Adjustments . Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Sections 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), the then applicable Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

(e)           Certain Shares Excluded . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.

 

(f)           Deferral and Cumulation of De Minimis Adjustments . The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event that would otherwise have given rise to such adjustment. In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue fractional Warrant Shares or fractional portions of any securities upon the exercise of the Warrant.

 

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

 

6.             Notice to Holders .

 

(a)          Notice of Record Date. In case:

 

(i)          the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(ii)         of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

(a) the Participant's election to exercise the Option;
     
(b) the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased;

If someone other than the Participant exercises the Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise the Option.

 

4.2 Payment of Exercise Price . The entire Exercise Price of the Option shall be payable in full at the time of exercise to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either:

 

(a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised;

 

(b) by delivery to the Company of other shares of Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the Exercise Price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares equal to the difference between the number of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares (a " Stock for Stock Exchange ");

 

(c) through a "cashless exercise program" established with a broker;
   
(d) by reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price at the time of exercise;

(f) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee.

 

4.3 Withholding . If the Company, in its discretion, determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of the Option, the Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company. The Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of the Option by any of the following means:

 

  3  

 

 

(a) tendering a cash payment;
   
(b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option; provided, however , that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or
   
(c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company has the right to withhold from any compensation paid to a Participant.

 

4.4 Issuance of Shares . Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Participant, the Participant's authorized assignee, or the Participant's legal representative which shall be evidenced by stock certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company.

 

5. No Right to Continued Employment; No Rights as Shareholder . Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in any position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Participant's Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause. The Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option unless and until certificates representing the shares have been issued by the Company to the holder of such shares, or the shares have otherwise been recorded on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent as owned by such holder.

 

6. Transferability . The Option is not transferable by the Participant other than to a designated beneficiary upon the Participant's death or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or her. No assignment or transfer of the Option, or the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws of descent or distribution) will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Option will terminate and become of no further effect.

 

7. Change in Control .

 

7.1 Acceleration of Vesting . In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares subject to the Option. To the extent practicable, such acceleration of vesting and exercisability shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows the Participant the ability to participate in the Change in Control with respect to the shares of Common Stock received.

 

  4  

 

 

7.2 Cash-out . In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion and upon at least ten (10) days' advance notice to the Participant, cancel the Option and pay to the Participant the value of the Option based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in the event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of a Change in Control the Exercise Price of the Option equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, the Committee may cancel the Option without the payment of consideration therefor.

 

8. Adjustments . The shares of Common Stock subject to the Option may be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by [Section 11] of the Plan.

 

9. Tax Liability and Withholding . Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (" Tax-Related Items "), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting, or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired on exercise; and (b) does not commit to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.

 

10. Qualification as an Incentive Stock Option . It is understood that this Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Applicable Law. Accordingly, the Participant understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option, no sale or other disposition may be made of shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within one (1) year following the date of exercise of the Option or within two (2) years from the Grant Date. The Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall not be liable or responsible for any additional tax liability the Participant incurs in the event that the Internal Revenue Service for any reason determines that this Option does not qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of the Code.

 

11. Disqualifying Disposition . If the Participant disposes of the shares of Common Stock prior to the expiration of either two (2) years from the Grant Date or one (1) year from the date the shares are transferred to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option (a " Disqualifying Disposition "), the Participant shall notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after such disposition of the date and terms of such disposition. The Participant also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions as the Company requires for tax purposes.
