THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made this 15th day of April, 2021 by CLS HOLDINGS USA, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Maker”) in favor of NAVY CAPITAL GREEN FUND, LP (“Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, on October 22, 2018, Maker and Purchaser executed a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) whereby Purchaser agreed to purchase a Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from Maker;

 

WHEREAS, the Subscription Agreement and Debenture provided that upon conversion of the Debenture the Purchaser would receive Units, where each Unit comprised one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock;

 

WHEREAS, the form of warrant was attached to the Subscription Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, on October 31, 2018, Maker executed the Debenture in favor of the Purchaser;

 

WHEREAS, on July 26, 2019 Maker and Purchaser executed a First Amendment to Debenture and Form of Warrant;

 

WHEREAS, the Maker and the Purchaser wish to further amend the Debenture and form of warrant, and to amend the Subscription Agreement, as provided for in this Amendment.

 

NOW THEREFOR, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

 

1.

Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement.

 

 

2.

Reduction in Conversion Price; Extension of Maturity Date.  The conversion price of the Debentures shall be reduced from $0.80 per Share to $0.30 per Share. The exercise price of the warrant received upon conversion of the Debentures shall remain 137.5% of the Conversion Price. The “Maturity Date” of the Debenture, as defined in the Amended and Restated Debenture attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment (the “Amended and Restated Debenture”), shall be four (4) years from the execution date of the Debenture, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture.

 

 

3.

Replacement of Exhibits C and D (Form of Debenture and Form of Warrant). Exhibit C to the Subscription Agreement, the form of Debenture, shall be replaced with Exhibit A attached hereto, which is the Amended and Restated Debenture. Exhibit D to the Subscription Agreement, which is the form of warrant, shall be replaced with Exhibit B hereto.

 

 

4.

 Registration of Shares.

 

 

a.

Within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, Maker shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (or S-3, if Maker is eligible) registering for resale all of the shares of common stock of Maker issued or issuable to Purchaser upon (i) conversion of the Debenture and (ii) exercise of the warrants issued or issuable upon conversion of the Debenture (all of such shares of common stock, collectively, the “Registrable Securities”).

 

1

 

 

b.

Maker shall (i) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as possible, (ii) use it best efforts to keep such registration effective from the date on which such registration statement became effective until the date on which Purchaser has completed the sales or distribution described in such registration statement relating to the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereunder, (iii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities, (iv) permit counsel to Purchaser to review such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto within a reasonable period of time prior to each filing and shall not request acceleration of such registration statement without prior notice to such counsel, and (v) if required by the principal securities exchange and/or market on which Maker’s common shares are then listed, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on such principal securities exchange and/or market.

 

 

c.

All expenses incurred or to be incurred by Maker in connection with Purchaser’s registration rights under this Amendment shall be borne solely by Maker, provided that all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the sale of any Registrable Securities and all fees and disbursements of counsel to Purchaser shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

 

 

5.

Board Observer. Purchaser shall have the right to appoint an observer to Maker’s board of directors (such person appointed by Purchaser from time to time in accordance with this Section 5 being the “Observer”). The Observer shall initially be Chetan Gulati. If Purchaser ever wishes to appoint any replacement Observer, it shall submit the names of two qualified proposed individuals to Maker and Maker shall, within five (5) business after receiving such names, either choose one of those two individuals to be the replacement Observer or, if Maker determines, in its reasonable judgment, that either of the proposed Observer nominees has a conflict with the Company, notify Purchaser of its objection and request Purchaser to propose a replacement Observer nominee. Such right to appoint the Observer shall continue until Purchaser together with its affiliates own less than 16,259,285 shares of Maker’s common stock, as such number may be equitably adjusted to take into consideration any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event (and for purposes of calculating such number of shares owned by Purchaser and its affiliates, Purchaser shall be deemed to own (A) all shares of Maker’s common stock that it would own upon conversion of the Debenture excluding shares that would be received upon exercise of the warrants issued or issuable upon conversion of the Debenture and (B) all shares of Maker’s common stock that its affiliate, Navy Capital Green Co-Invest, LLC, would own upon conversion of that Debenture of even date herewith in the principal amount of $4,504,457 executed by Maker in favor of Navy Capital Green Co-Invest, LLC

excluding shares that would be received upon exercise of the warrants issued or issuable upon conversion of such debenture). For the avoidance of doubt (i) the Observer shall not be acting as a director and has no right to vote on matters brought before the board of directors, has no fiduciary duties to the shareholders of Maker, and shall not be counted for purposes of establishing the presence of a quorum for a board of directors meeting; (ii) the Observer shall be entitled to receive copies of notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to members of the board of directors; (iii) the Observer may be excluded from discussions of certain matters or from receipt of materials if (a) the discussions or materials involve Purchaser or one of its affiliates, (b) the discussions or materials involve a company in which Purchaser or one of its affiliates maintains an investment or with respect to which Purchaser or the Observer has a conflict of interest, or (c) the board of directors reasonably determines that the Observer’s attendance for such discussions or receipt of such materials would adversely affect the Maker’s attorney client privilege; (iv) the Observer shall sign Maker’s standard form of non-disclosure agreement and insider trading policy; (v) that the Observer acknowledges that his name may appear in Maker’s publicly filed disclosure documents if required by law; and (vi) the Observer shall be required to complete applications, and provide personal information (possibly including fingerprints and photographs), if required by applicable licensing authorities related to Maker’s businesses. Maker shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Observer in connection with the Observer’s attendance at meetings of the board of directors, in the same manner as other members of the board are reimbursed.

 

 

6.

Correction to name of Purchaser. There was a typographical error with respect to the name of the Purchaser in the Subscription Agreement and all references to Navy Capital Green International, Ltd. are hereby replaced by references to Navy Capital Green Fund, LP.

 

 

7.

Ratification.  Except as set forth herein, the terms of the Subscription Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (which together shall be referred to as the “Amended Subscription Agreement”), shall remain in full force and effect after the date hereof, the term “Unit” shall refer to the Units received upon conversion of the Amended and Restated Debentures at the revised conversion price set forth herein, and shall consist of one Share of Maker’s Common Stock and one-half of one Warrant, with each warrant exercisable for the period provided in such warrant to purchase one Share of Common Stock for 137.5% of the Conversion Price (presently $.4125 per share).

Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on December 31, 2018, on the last business day of each consecutive calendar quarter thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise (each, an Interest Payment Date”).  On any Interest Payment Date on or prior to June 30, 2020, interest on the Principal Amount of this Debenture at the Contract Rate that shall have accrued and shall remain unpaid as of such Interest Payment Date (for any Interest Payment Date, a “PIK Amount”) may, at the option of the Maker, be paid on such Interest Payment Date by addition of such PIK Amount to the then outstanding Principal Amount.  At the option of the Maker, the PIK Amounts added to the then-outstanding Principal Amount during such quarter may be evidenced by a note (a “PIK Note”) in form and substance determined by the Maker; provided, however, that such PIK Note shall not be necessary to evidence such portion of the Principal Amount nor shall the absence of such PIK Note relieve the Maker of its obligation to pay such portion of the Principal Amount to the Payee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Debenture and the addition of any PIK Amount to the principal amount outstanding under this Debenture, the Maker may, in its sole discretion, pay any PIK Amount in cash on any Interest Payment Date without any premium or penalty.  All cash payments by the Companies of any PIK Amount that has been added to the principal amount of this Debenture shall be deducted from the Principal Amount.

 

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Amended Subscription Agreement.

 

1.  Conversion.  At Purchaser’s option, at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the last business day immediately prior to the Maturity Date; or (ii) the Redemption Date (as defined in the section 3 below), the Purchaser may choose to have all or part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest owing to Purchaser repaid in Units at a conversion rate equal to thirty cents ($0.30) per Unit, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 (the “Conversion Price”).  In the event Purchaser chooses to convert all or part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into Units, Purchaser shall give written notice to Company of such conversion no less than fifteen (15) business days prior to such conversion, and shall surrender the original of this Debenture to the Company, after which Purchaser will have no further rights under this Debenture as to the converted principal and interest, except the right to receive certificates representing the components of the Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in either the Amended Subscription Agreement or this Debenture, if at any time after six (6) months and one (1) day after the date of issuance of the Debenture (the “Closing Date”) the price of a Share on the exchange or trading platform on which the Shares are traded exceeds $.60 (U.S.) for ten consecutive trading days, the Company, on not less than thirty (30) days-notice (the end of such notice period, the “Forced Conversion Date”) to the Purchaser, may require conversion of this Debenture, in which case, following the Forced Conversion Date, interest shall cease to accrue on this Debenture and the Purchaser will have no further rights under this Debenture as to the converted principal and interest, except the right to receive certificates representing the components of the Units.

 

2.   Adjustment of Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

2

 

(a)  If at any time after the date of this Debenture, the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced.  If the outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. The Conversion Price also shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of the subsequent issuance of Shares or securities convertible into Shares, by way of security dividend or distribution, the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Shares or the distribution of shares of any other class of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets.

 

(b)  Except as set forth herein, if at any time after the date of this Debenture, the Maker shall issue or sell Common Stock, or warrants or options exercisable for Common Stock, preferred stock convertible into Common Stock, or any other securities convertible into Common Stock, in a capital raising transaction, at a consideration per share, or exercise or conversion price per share, as applicable, less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such issuance price. For purposes of determining the issuance price, the amount of consideration paid upon issuance of the security and any additional consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise of the same security shall be combined to determine the total issuance price. The following securities shall be excluded from the foregoing and shall not result in any change to the Conversion Price: (i) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Maker in connection with their service as directors of the Maker, their employment by the Maker or their retention as consultants by the Maker, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of options or convertible securities that were issued and outstanding on the date immediately preceding the date of this Debenture, provided such securities are not amended after the date of this Debenture to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof (iii) securities issued pursuant to the Debenture and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Debenture), and (v) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued as consideration for an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Maker, provided that any such issuance shall only be a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Maker and shall provide to the Maker additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not, for the purposes of this clause (v), include a transaction in which the Maker is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

(c) No adjustment in the Conversion Price and/or the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Debenture need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than one cent ($0.01) or a change in the number of subject shares of less than one-tenth (1/10th) of a share.

 

(d)  Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price hereunder, the Company will compute the adjustment and prepare and furnish to Purchaser a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which the adjustment is based.

 

 

3.

 Redemption/Change in Control.

 

(a) The Purchaser may, upon not less than thirty (30) days-notice (the end of such notice period, the “Redemption Date”) to the Company following a “Change in Control” (as defined below), require the Company to repurchase the Debenture, in whole or in part, at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 105% of the principal amount of the Debenture outstanding (including any accrued and unpaid interest) on the Redemption Date.

 

(b) If holders of ninety percent (90%) or more of the series of debentures of which this Debenture is a part have demanded to require the Company to repurchase their debentures following a Change in Control, the Purchaser agrees to allow the Company to repurchase this Debenture for the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date notwithstanding the fact that the Purchaser has not provided the notice described in section 3(a).

 

(c) Following the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on this Debenture and the Purchaser will have no further rights under this Debenture as to the converted principal and interest, except the right to receive the Redemption Price.

 

3

 

(d) A “Change in Control,” for purposes of this Debenture, means (i) any event as a result of or following which any person, or group of persons acting jointly or in concert within the meaning of applicable United States securities laws, beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over an aggregate of more than 50% of the then outstanding Shares; or (ii) the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company. A “Change in Control” does not include a sale, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction if the previous holders of the Shares hold at least 50% of the voting shares of such merged, reorganized or other continuing entity.

 

4.  Authorized Shares.  Until the Maturity Date, the Company shall maintain sufficient numbers of authorized and unissued Shares to permit the full exercise of the conversion of this Debenture and the exercise of any Warrant.

 

5.   Default.

 

5.1  Events of Default.  With respect to the Debenture, the following events are “Events of Default”:

4

5.2  Acceleration.  If any one or more Events of Default described in Section 5.1 shall occur and be continuing, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s option and by written notice to Company, declare the unpaid balance of the Debenture owing to Purchaser to be forthwith due and payable.

 

6. This Debenture is an unsecured obligation of the Company and will rank pari passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other unsecured obligations of the Company.

smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. The Conversion Price also shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of the subsequent issuance of Shares or securities convertible into Shares, by way of security dividend or distribution, the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Shares or the distribution of shares of any other class of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets.

 

(b)  Except as set forth herein, if at any time after the date of this Debenture, the Maker shall issue or sell Common Stock, or warrants or options exercisable for Common Stock, preferred stock convertible into Common Stock, or any other securities convertible into Common Stock, in a capital raising transaction, at a consideration per share, or exercise or conversion price per share, as applicable, less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such issuance price. For purposes of determining the issuance price, the amount of consideration paid upon issuance of the security and any additional consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise of the same security shall be combined to determine the total issuance price. The following securities shall be excluded from the foregoing and shall not result in any change to the Conversion Price: (i) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Maker in connection with their service as directors of the Maker, their employment by the Maker or their retention as consultants by the Maker, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of options or convertible securities that were issued and outstanding on the date immediately preceding the date of this Debenture, provided such securities are not amended after the date of this Debenture to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof (iii) securities issued pursuant to the Debenture and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Debenture), and (v) capital stock, options or convertible securities issued as consideration for an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Maker, provided that any such issuance shall only be a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Maker and shall provide to the Maker additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not, for the purposes of this clause (v), include a transaction in which the Maker is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

(c) No adjustment in the Conversion Price and/or the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Debenture need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Price of less than one cent ($0.01) or a change in the number of subject shares of less than one-tenth (1/10th) of a share.

 

(d)  Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price hereunder, the Company will compute the adjustment and prepare and furnish to Purchaser a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which the adjustment is based.

A “Change in Control” does not include a sale, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction if the previous holders of the Shares hold at least 50% of the voting shares of such merged, reorganized or other continuing entity.

Exhibit 10.7

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IN ITS REASONABLE JUDGMENT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

CLS HOLDINGS USA, INC.

 

Warrant for the Purchase of Common Stock,

par value $0.001 per share

 

No. ____________  ____________ Shares
Date: __________  

 

THIS CERTIFIES that, for good and valuable consideration, ___________________________________________________ (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Holder”), with an address at ______________________________________ is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from CLS HOLDINGS USA,INC. (the “Company”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, after the date hereof and before 5:00 p.m. on a date that is not later than thirty-six (36) months after the earlier of: (i) the date this Warrant is issued according to the date set forth above; or (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Warrant Shares (as defined below) (the “Exercise Period”), that number of shares of the Company’s common stock set forth above, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a price of $_______ per share (the “Exercise Price”), as same may be adjusted as provided for herein (the “Warrant Shares”).

 

1.    To the extent otherwise exercisable, this Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise Period as to the whole or any portion of the number of Warrant Shares, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the exercise notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of such Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) delivery of this Warrant to the Company, and (iii) either (a) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to be exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash, or by means of bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (b) if at the time the Company delivers a Mandatory Exercise Notice to the Holder, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement, delivery of an election to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (the “Cashless Exercise”):

 

1

 

 

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

                                         B

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

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

 

B = the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Warrant.

 

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

 

In the event that the exercise of this Warrant is for less than all of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant, the Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof or as the Holder may direct, as soon as practicable, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder.

 

2.         Upon the exercise of the Holder’s right to purchase Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the applicable number of Warrant Shares, registered in the name of the Holder. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

 

3.         (a)         The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee upon receipt of a duly executed warrant power in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary

 

        (b)         The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the rights to purchase all Warrant Shares granted pursuant to this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of the purchase price therefor, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

2

 

        (c)         The Company, upon ten (10) days prior notice to the Holder (a “Mandatory Exercise Notice”), at any time prior to expiration of the Exercise Period, may demand that the Investor exercise this Warrant, in its entirety, if the closing bid price of the Shares equals or exceeds $0.80 (subject to adjustments as set forth in Section 4 of this Warrant) for twenty (20) consecutive business days. Should the Investor fail to exercise the Warrant in its entirety within thirty (30) days after receiving the Company’s demand, the Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect.

 

4.        (a)         In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares of Common Stock by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares or dividend payable in shares of the Company or an otherwise similar event, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of securities as to which this Warrant shall be exercisable, to the end that the proportionate interest of the Holder immediately after the occurrence of such event shall equal the proportionate interest of the Holder immediately before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment shall be made without change in the total Exercise Price applicable to this Warrant but with corresponding adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant and Exercise Price per share evidenced by this Warrant. To illustrate: In the event of a reverse split in the ratio of 1:3, if this Warrant was for 75,000 Shares, the Exercise Price would become $1.20 and the number of underlying shares of Common Stock would be reduced to 25,000.

 

        (b)         In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation), or in case of any sale, conveyance or lease to another person or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor or purchasing person or entity, as the case may be, shall (i) execute in favor of the Holder an agreement or instrument providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such event, (ii) make effective provision in its certificate of incorporation or otherwise, if necessary, in order to effect such agreement and (iii) set aside or reserve, for the benefit of the Holder, the stock, securities, property and/or cash to which the Holder would be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that, nothing contained in this paragraph 4(b) shall be interpreted so as to preclude the Holder from exercising this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance.

 

        (c)         The above provisions of this paragraph 4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, issuances or conveyances.

 

5.

(a)  In case at any time the Company shall propose:

 

3

 

 

(i)

to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of common stock, or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends) to all holders of common stock; or

 

 

(ii)

to issue any rights, warrants or other securities to all holders of the Company’s common stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of common stock or any other rights, warrants or other securities; or

 

 

(iii)

to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of the Company’s common stock, or any consolidation or merger; or

 

 

(iv)

to effect any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company; or

 

 

(v)

to issue any shares of its Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into its Common Stock, at a price per share lower than the Exercise Price, if such price is also lower than the market price for its Common Stock on such date;

 

then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any such event is expected to occur.

 

        (b)         If and whenever on or after the date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities (as defined below) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issue Price. “Excluded Securities” means: (i) capital stock, options or convertible Securities issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their service as directors of the Company, their employment by the Company or their retention as consultants by the Company, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of options or convertible securities that were issued and outstanding on the date immediately preceding the date of this Warrant, provided such securities are not amended after the Subscription Date to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof (iii) securities issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of those securities, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split or other distribution on shares of Common Stock (but only to the extent that such a dividend, split or distribution results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to the other provisions of this Warrant), and (v) capital stock, options or convertible Securities issued as consideration for

 

4

 

an acquisition or strategic transaction approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not, for the purposes of this clause (v), include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

6.         The issuance of any Warrant Shares or other securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such Warrant Shares or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate representing Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax, to the extent required to be so paid, or, if reasonably required by the Company, shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

7.         Unless registered, or freely saleable under Rule 144, the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend or a similar legend to the following effect:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR EVIDENCE OF AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM (INCLUDING AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT).”

 

8.         The Holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that he is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for his own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempt under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time

 

5

 

in accordance with, or pursuant to an exemption under, the Securities Act. The Holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such Holder is an Accredited Investor. If such Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition precedent to such Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

 

9.         Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (and upon surrender of this Warrant if mutilated), and upon reimbursement of the Company’s reasonable incidental expenses (including without limitation any insurance), the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

 

10.         The Holder shall not have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

 

11.          This Warrant and the rights granted hereunder shall be assignable by the Holder hereof without the consent of the Company (i) to members of his or her immediate family (which shall include any spouse, lineal ancestor or descendant, adopted child or sibling, or the spouse of any of them) or (ii) to a trust or any other estate planning vehicle for the benefit of such Holder or members of his or her immediate family; provided, however, that the assignee shall, within ten (10) days prior to such assignment, furnish to the Company written notice of the name, address and relationship with such assignee and such transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement upon exercise, provided it involves no more than a de minimis expense.

 

12.         Each of the Company and the Holder shall do and perform all such further acts and things and execute and deliver all such other certificates, instruments and documents as the Company or the Holder may, at any time and from time to time, reasonably request in connection with the performance of any of the provisions of this Warrant.

 

13.         Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile or e-mail (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive same.
