Explanatory Note:

 

On April 21, 2016, Dehaier Medical Systems Limited (the “Company”) entered into warrant repurchase agreements (the “Warrant Repurchase Agreements”) with the holders (“Holders”) of certain warrants pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase from the Holders the Company’s outstanding warrant to purchase in aggregate 293,880 shares of the Company’s common shares, with an exercise price of $11.86 per share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were issued on February 21, 2014 in connection with the Company’s registered direct offering of approximately $6.7 million of common shares and warrants.

 

Pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreements, the Company will pay an aggregate cash purchase price of $1,116,744 ($3.80 per share underlying the Warrants) to repurchase the Warrants. The Company will make payment on or before the thirtieth (30th) trading day after April 21, 2016, at which time the Warrants will be automatically cancelled and void. The original Warrants will be returned to the Company. In the event the Company does not make payment on or prior to such 30th trading day, each Warrant Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate unless the party to each such Warrant Repurchase Agreement delivers written notice to the Company of its desire to extend the period by which the Company may make payment.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Warrant Repurchase Agreement is only a brief description of certain terms therein, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Warrant Repurchase Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

FORM OF WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 21, 2016 by and between Dehaier Medical Systems Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Company”), and _____________ (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated as of February 21, 2014, by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Holder holds a warrant to purchase __________ shares of Common Stock, $0.002731 par value per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $11.86 per share (the “Warrant”);

 

WHEREAS the Company desires to purchase from the Holder, and the Holder desire to sell to the Company, the Warrant.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder hereby sells to the Company, and the Company hereby purchases from the Holder, the Warrant, free and clear of all liens, security interests, encumbrances, equities and claims, or any other defect of title whatsoever. The purchase price to be paid to the Holder for the Warrant (the “Purchase Price”) shall be $3.80 per share underlying the Warrant on the date hereof (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction), and $_________ in the aggregate. The parties agree that no issuance of shares to a third party subsequent to execution by both parties hereof and prior to receipt of the payment by the Holder will result in any adjustment to the Purchase Price or number of shares underlying the Warrants; provided, however that in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 2, then any such issuances shall retroactively have the effect prescribed in the Warrant. Prior to the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2, the Holder shall have the right to exercise the Warrant at its current exercise price of $11.86 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction). Upon the payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant will be immediately cancelled and the Holder shall cease to have any right thereunder.

 

2. Manner and Time of Payment . On or before the thirtieth (30 th ) Trading Day after the signing of this Agreement (or such other date as mutually agreed by the Company and the Holder), (i) the Company shall pay the Purchase Price to the Holder by wire transfer to an account at a bank designated by the Holder as set out below; (ii) immediately upon payment of the Purchase Price, the Warrant shall be cancelled, and become void and of no further effect; and (iii) within one (1) Trading Day after the payment of the Purchase Price, the Holder shall return the original Warrant by overnight mail to counsel for the Company, whose address appears below. In the event the Company has not paid the Purchase Price on or before such thirtieth (30 th ) Trading Day after execution of this Agreement (as may be extended, the “ Termination Date ”), this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect; provided , however , that the Holder shall have the option at any time and from time to time to extend the Termination Date of this Agreement by delivering a written notice to the Company on or prior to 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the then existing Termination Date, which notice shall indicate the new time and date upon which this agreement shall terminate. As used in this Agreement, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which The New York Stock Exchange is open for trading of equity securities.

3. Representations of Holder .

From and after the filing of the 6-K Filing, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder has not received any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, that is not disclosed in the 6-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 6-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents, not to, provide the Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of the Holder. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to the Holder without the Holder's consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information.

 

5. Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

6. Equal Treatment Acknowledgment; Most Favored Nation . The parties hereto herby acknowledge and agree that any transaction with any other person regarding any other warrants of the Company outstanding which terms are substantially identical to the Warrant (each such warrant, an “Other Warrant” and each such holder, an “Other Investor”) shall be negotiated separately with each such Other Investor and shall not in any way be construed as the Holder or any Other Investor acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities of the Company or otherwise. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that none of the terms offered to any person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement, waiver or sale relating to the Other Warrant (each a “Settlement Document”), including without limitation the purchase price per number of shares underlying the Other Warrant, is or will be more favorable to such person than those of the Holder and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.

 

 

 

 

7. Binding Effect . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto, their legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

8. Entire Agreement . This Agreement supersedes all agreements previously made between the parties hereto relating to its subject matter.

 

9. Non-waiver . No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right under this Agreement, and no partial or single exercise of that right, shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

10. Headings . Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret or construe its provisions.

 

11. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the New York.

 

12. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be one and the same instrument.

 

13. Release . The Holder and the Company hereby agree that, upon the consummation of the sale of the Warrant pursuant to this Agreement, including the payment in full by the Company of the Purchase Price, (i) the Holder unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges the Company and its directors, officers, employees and professional advisors, from any and all liability of any kind to the Holder, whether direct or indirect, foreseen or unforeseen, foreseeable or unforeseeable, contingent or actual, present or future, including but not limited to, any liability arising or capable of arising out of, or relating to the Company or the Warrant and its issuance, and (ii) the Company unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges the Holder and its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and professional advisors, from any and all liability of any kind to the Company, whether direct or indirect, foreseen or unforeseen, foreseeable or unforeseeable, contingent or actual, present or future, including but not limited to, any liability arising or capable of arising out of, or relating to the Warrant.
