The (i) Golisano Warrant and (ii) GH Warrant were issued directly by the Company and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. Each of Golisano LLC and GH LLC were afforded an opportunity for effective access to the files and records of the Company that contained the relevant information needed to make its investment decision, including the Company’s financial statements and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company reasonably believed that each of Golisano LLC and GH LLC, immediately prior to the issuance of the above-referenced (i) Golisano Warrant and (ii) GH Warrant, respectively, had such knowledge and experience in the Company’s financial and business matters that it was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment.

Maker and Holder have mutually agreed that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof, the right of Holder to exercise the Warrant, and the attendant consequences of doing so, represent fair and reasonable compensation for a portion of the damages that Holder would suffer as a result of the existence of the conditions giving rise to such right. The granting of such right is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but, rather, is intended to constitute partial liquidated damages to Holder. The issuance of the Warrant is not, nor shall it be deemed to be, made in lieu of or to otherwise reduce or limit in any way Maker’s payment obligations under this Note or be deemed or construed as a limitation on any other rights or remedies that Holder may have hereunder, at law or in equity, or otherwise.

If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Maker and Holder shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note (whether or not then due) or at the option of Holder be paid over to Maker, and not to the payment of Interest.

  5  

 

  

(b)         Immediately upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 3.1 , the Company (the " Delivery Date ") shall issue the Equity Interest that the Holder has purchased pursuant to such exercise, deliver to the Holder the certificates representing such Equity Interest and reflect the issuance of such Equity Interest, which Equity Interest shall be duly authorized, validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, in the Company’s shareholder records (maintained by the Company or its duly appointed transfer agent), whereupon the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes, effective as of the Delivery Date, to be a holder of record and beneficial owner of the Equity Interest that it has purchased pursuant to such exercise.

 

(c)         If a Holder shall exercise this Warrant for less than all of the Equity Interest which could be purchased or received hereunder, the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of the Delivery Date, a new Warrant of like kind and tenor to this Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Equity Interest represented by the Warrant. This Warrant shall be cancelled upon surrender thereof pursuant to Section 3.1 .

 

(d)         The Company shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to the initial issuance of any Equity Interest upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant or any successor Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of a successor to this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised or exchanged.

 

(e)         Except as set forth in any document that is un-redacted and publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) which are not fully reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP, except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice since the date thereof.

 

SECTION 3.3   Adjustment of Holder’s Equity Interest and/or Exercise Price . The Equity Interest issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (such Equity Interest is referred to herein as the " Holder's Equity Interest ") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.3 .

 

SECTION 3.3.1   Issuance of Additional Equity Interest; Capital Reorganization or Capital Reclassifications . If, at any time after the date hereof, the Equity Interests of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation (including, without limitation, any subdivision or combination of Equity Interest), then in each case the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that this Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of equity securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such event and any such provision shall include adjustments in respect of such securities or other property that shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect to such Warrant.

 

  6  

 

  

SECTION 3.3.2   Consolidations and Mergers; Dissolution .

 

(a)         If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or property to, another Person, then the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, membership or other equity interests, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such event. The Company shall not consolidate or merge unless, prior to consummation, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes the obligations of this paragraph by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s address set forth in Section 5.1. A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

 

(b)         In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger covered by subsection (a) above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Holder. Such notice shall contain: (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which the Holder will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction; (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions to be made to the Holder as a result of the transaction and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.

 

SECTION 3.3.3   Notice; Calculations; Etc . Whenever the Equity Interest issuable hereunder shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 3.3 , the Company shall provide to the Holder a statement, signed by an Executive Officer, describing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a calculation of the Equity Interest applicable to each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth of a unit, as the case may be.

e.           an involuntary case or proceeding is commenced against Maker under any Bankruptcy Law and is not dismissed, bonded or discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter, or a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against Maker in an involuntary case or proceeding; (ii) appoints a custodian of Maker or for all or substantially all of its properties; or (iii) orders the liquidation of Maker; and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) days.

Concurrently herewith Maker has issued into escrow a Warrant to purchase shares of Maker’s common stock (the “ Warrant ”) in the name of the Holder which will only be released from escrow and deemed issued at that time and otherwise become exercisable if Maker fails to pay Holder the entire unamortized principal amount of this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Maturity Date or such earlier date as is required pursuant to an Acceleration Notice issued by Holder in accordance with the terms hereof. The issuance of the Warrant is intended to compensate Holder in the event that Maker fails to make payment in full of this Note as and when due. Maker and Holder have mutually agreed that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof, the right of Holder to exercise the Warrant, and the attendant consequences of doing so, represent fair and reasonable compensation for a portion of the damages that Holder would suffer as a result of the existence of the conditions giving rise to such right. The granting of such right is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty but, rather, is intended to constitute partial liquidated damages to Holder. The issuance of the Warrant is not, nor shall it be deemed to be, made in lieu of or to otherwise reduce or limit in any way Maker’s payment obligations under this Note or be deemed or construed as a limitation on any other rights or remedies that Holder may have hereunder, at law or in equity, or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

 

3.01        No Waiver: Amendment . Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices or demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or default of this Note. No delay by Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right hereunder or otherwise; and no waiver whatsoever or modification of the terms hereof, including but not limited to an extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, shall be valid unless set forth in writing by Holder. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. No modifications or amendments made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Maker under this Note, either in whole or in part unless Holder agrees otherwise in writing.

 

3.02        Limit of Validity . The provisions of this Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or retention of money under this Note (“ Interest ”) exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Maker and Holder shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note (whether or not then due) or at the option of Holder be paid over to Maker, and not to the payment of Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or agreed to be paid to Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal amount of this Note so that the Interest thereof for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Maker hereby agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to Maker at its address set forth in Section 3.06 , such service being hereby acknowledged by Maker to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against Maker in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in every respect.

(b)         Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of the Holder, including indemnification reasonably acceptable to the Company) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant, the Company shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such Warrant a new Warrant of like kind and tenor representing the same rights represented by and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by any Person.

EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXCHANGE FOR EQUITY INTEREST

 

SECTION 3.1   Exercise of Warrants . This Warrant shall not be exercisable unless and until Maker fails to pay Holder the entire unamortized principal amount of the Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or such earlier date as is required pursuant to an Acceleration Notice (as defined in the Note) issued by Holder in accordance with the terms thereof. On any Business Day after this Note first becomes exercisable, but before the Expiration Date, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company this Warrant accompanied by a properly completed Exercise Form in the form of Annex 1 and a check in an aggregate amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price.

 

SECTION 3.2   Issuance of Equity Interest .

 

(a)         The Company represents and warrants that the authorized Equity Interest of the Company consists solely of (i) 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which only 295,704,136 common shares have been issued and remain outstanding as of the date hereof and (ii) 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which preferred shares have been issued as of the date hereof. The shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The delivery to the Holder of certificates representing the Equity Interest that the Holder purchases pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant shall grant to the Holder good and valid title to the Equity Interest represented by such certificate, free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, security interests, charges or encumbrances of any kind or nature or any option, warrant or trust having the practical effect of any of the foregoing.

 

  5  

 

  

(b)         Immediately upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section 3.1 , the Company (the " Delivery Date ") shall issue the Equity Interest that the Holder has purchased pursuant to such exercise, deliver to the Holder the certificates representing such Equity Interest and reflect the issuance of such Equity Interest, which Equity Interest shall be duly authorized, validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, in the Company’s shareholder records (maintained by the Company or its duly appointed transfer agent), whereupon the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes, effective as of the Delivery Date, to be a holder of record and beneficial owner of the Equity Interest that it has purchased pursuant to such exercise.

 

(c)         If a Holder shall exercise this Warrant for less than all of the Equity Interest which could be purchased or received hereunder, the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of the Delivery Date, a new Warrant of like kind and tenor to this Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Equity Interest represented by the Warrant. This Warrant shall be cancelled upon surrender thereof pursuant to Section 3.1 .

 

(d)         The Company shall pay all Taxes (other than any applicable income or similar Taxes payable by a Holder of a Warrant) attributable to the initial issuance of any Equity Interest upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant or any successor Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of a successor to this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrant being exercised or exchanged.

 

(e)         Except as set forth in any document that is un-redacted and publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due) which are not fully reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP, except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice since the date thereof.

 

SECTION 3.3   Adjustment of Holder’s Equity Interest and/or Exercise Price . The Equity Interest issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (such Equity Interest is referred to herein as the " Holder's Equity Interest ") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.3 .

 

SECTION 3.3.1   Issuance of Additional Equity Interest; Capital Reorganization or Capital Reclassifications . If, at any time after the date hereof, the Equity Interests of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger or consolidation (including, without limitation, any subdivision or combination of Equity Interest), then in each case the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that this Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of equity securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant would have been entitled upon such event and any such provision shall include adjustments in respect of such securities or other property that shall be equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant with respect to such Warrant.

 

  6  

 

  

SECTION 3.3.2   Consolidations and Mergers; Dissolution .

 

(a)         If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or property to, another Person, then the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that each Warrant shall, effective as of the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, of such event, be exercisable or exchangeable for the kind and number of shares of stock, membership or other equity interests, other securities, cash or other property to which a holder of the Equity Interest deliverable upon exercise or exchange of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such event. The Company shall not consolidate or merge unless, prior to consummation, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes the obligations of this paragraph by written instrument executed and mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s address set forth in Section 5.1. A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

 

(b)         In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger covered by subsection (a) above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Holder. Such notice shall contain: (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which the Holder will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction; (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions to be made to the Holder as a result of the transaction and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.

 

SECTION 3.3.3   Notice; Calculations; Etc . Whenever the Equity Interest issuable hereunder shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 3.3 , the Company shall provide to the Holder a statement, signed by an Executive Officer, describing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth a calculation of the Equity Interest applicable to each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.3 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth of a unit, as the case may be.

ARTICLE IV

 

CERTAIN OTHER RIGHTS

 

SECTION 4.1   Registration Rights.

 

(a)         At any time at which this Warrant or the Equity Interest underlying the same remains outstanding, upon the request of the Holder, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement with Holder (the " Rights Agreement "). Such Rights Agreement shall provide that beginning October 1, 2015, if the Company is eligible for the use of a registration statement on Form S-3, then the Holder shall have the right to request an initial registration and thereafter on a quarterly basis after such initial registration shall have been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, registration of its Equity Interests on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (each, a " Demand Registration "). The Rights Agreement will provide that each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Equity Interests requested to be registered and that the Company shall cause a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) to be filed within twenty (20) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Rights Agreement will provide that the Company may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Demand Registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

(b)         The rights to cause the Company to register Equity Interests pursuant hereto may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by the Holder in a Qualified Assignment; provided, that, (i) the Company is, upon or within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, (iii) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act, and (iv) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer such Equity Interests continue to be Equity Interests of the Company.

 

SECTION 4.2 Reservation of Underlying Shares.

 

(a)           The Company covenants   at all times to reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrant as herein provided, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  

 

(b)          The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant which shall be so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase and the issuance of the shares, and shall not have any legend or restrictions on resale, except as required by the Rights Agreement or hereby.
