Our Company

 

SPYR ® , Inc. acts as a holding company to develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business. On March 24, 2015, the Company organized its wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS ® , LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, to engage in the development and publication of electronic games that are downloaded for free by users of mobile devices such as cellular telephones and tablets, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems.

 

Our Business and Strategy

 

Our current strategy is to publish and market games developed by third-party developers with the potential to develop our own games, either by contracting with third-party developers or by building or acquiring an in-house development team and to acquire revenue-producing games or companies. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not built or acquired an in-house development team, but are currently in the process of negotiating multiple acquisitions in the mobile games space that would include a development team. We intend to generate revenues from the games based upon users paying for additional features and levels of game play, and from the sale of advertising in our games. Our games use the “free to play” model, which allows users to download the games onto their devices and play them at no cost. “Free to play” is a business model that has existed in videogames (and other industries) for quite some time but one that has, in the last 2-3 years, been adopted by a large number of game developers and publishers both big and small. The “free to play” model allows us to offer games that have zero cost barriers preventing players from trying our games. Players that choose to not continue with the game nonetheless still become marketing channels to their friends, who may become a critical mass of players who do choose to pay for optional aspects of the games, including customization, faster game progress, additional content and more effective competition against other players. There are no limitations on potential purchases, thus catering to the financial capabilities/preferences of all players. We monetize the games by offering features and opportunities within the games that allow players to spend money to unlock new game levels, items and features.

 

Our Games

 

Contracting with a third-party developer, we released three games: “Plucky,” “Plucky Rush” and Rune Guardian in April, May and December 2015, respectively. They are available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

 

6  
 

We entered into our first publication and marketing agreement on October 21, 2015 with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of “Retro Shot.” “Retro Shot” was fully launched in February of 2016 and is available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

 

We entered into our second publishing and marketing agreement on December 17, 2015 with Spectacle Games Publishing (“Spectacle Games”), for its “Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game,” “Pocket Starships,” which is available in the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store and the Amazon App Store for free download, and can also be played in a web browser, via hundreds of web portals around the world or on Facebook’s “Game Room” and VK.com.

 

Pocket Starships is a space warfare themed game that is available to be played regardless of what operating system the player uses, whether that is an Apple iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, a Google Android device, including phones and tablets from a variety of hardware manufacturers using the Android operating system, or an Amazon Fire OS device such as a Kindle. Pocket Starships is also available to play on the Internet in any web browser at www.pocketstarships.com. Pocket Starships’ software engine allows players worldwide to play against each other in real time and in the same game “universe,” regardless of what platform is used. Thus, players can play Pocket Starships in the same game universe regardless of whether they are playing in a web browser at their desk or using an iPhone on the other side of the planet.. Pocket Starships’ game play is hardware and software agnostic, so regardless of device all users have the same game experience.

 

In June 2016, we obtained an exclusive option to purchase all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships (the “Option”) in consideration for 3,750,000 cash-based options, exercisable as follows: (a) 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2017; (b) 750,000 shares at $2.50 per share, expiring on December 31, 2018; and (c) 2,500,000 shares at $5.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2019. Under the Option, had the Company decided to exercise the Option, it would have purchased the assets for a cash payment of $5,000,000 plus $10,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time of closing of the purchase. The exclusive Option was exercisable by us at any time, in our sole discretion, through December 31, 2020.

 

On October 23, 2017, we restructured and exercised the Option by entering into a definitive agreement pursuant to which SPYR ® acquired all of the game related assets of Pocket Starships in a cashless transaction, including the publishing agreement with Spectacle. The original terms of the Option were terminated. As a result, SPYR ® acquired rights to retain 100% of the revenue generated from the game and will be the sole owner of all of the assets related to the game. The acquisition included, among other assets, all Pocket Starships related intellectual property, the userbase, artwork, software, internet domains, game store accounts (such as App Store, Play Store, Amazon, and Facebook Gameroom), web portal accounts (Facebook, VK.com, Kongregate, etc.) and internet domains (www.pocketstarships.com). Under the terms of the agreement, the game's owner received 8,000,000 restricted shares of SPYR ® stock (subject to resale gating provisions) and 8,000,000 three-year cash-based options exercisable at $0.50 per share.

 

During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the 4th quarter 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, through a trading card expansion.

 

During July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Reset Studios, LLC for the development of at least two new idle tapper games to be published by SPYR ® , the first of which, Steven Universe: Tap Together, features characters and storylines from Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe . The Company has secured the necessary license to use the Steven Universe IP in the game through a license agreement with Cartoon Network. The game allows players to play as a team of their favorite Steven Universe characters to battle increasingly difficult enemies in order to unlock new characters and rewards. By performing simple actions such as tapping the screen, players can progress in the game even when they’re not actively playing. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company intends to utilize cash on hand, shareholder loans and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities to conduct its ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and software development costs and implementation of our business plans generally. The Company may also decide to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue in the Future.

 

No assurances can be given we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Historically, we have relied upon the sales of our common stock, financing, and proceeds from the sales of marketable securities held for sale to generate funds to finance our activities. We currently have limited cash on hand to conduct the ongoing development of our digital advertising and publishing efforts, including mobile application and game development, and for exploring opportunities and new acquisitions. Our digital development and publishing efforts are in their developmental stages and are insufficient as of the date of this prospectus to generate sufficient revenues to finance our future operations. The existence of available financing or opportunities for sales of our common stock on acceptable terms is uncertain. We cannot assure you that sufficient financing, whether from external sources or related parties, will be available if needed, or on favorable terms. Further, the sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause significant dilution to our existing shareholders. The value of our marketable securities held for sale fluctuates from day to day instantaneously. You should not rely upon the prospective value of any of our marketable securities held for sale as a basis for an investment decision in our Company, since any value assigned to them is subject to material changes based on the inter-day trading values of those securities and are an unreliable basis for evaluating our revenue and funding for our future operations.

 

We have a history of operating losses and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We may never generate significant revenues or achieve profitability.

 

We have historically lost money. The operating loss for the fiscal year December 31, 2017 was $(10,244,000), and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $(4,993,000), and future losses are likely to occur. We are continuing to implement a new business model focused on our Electronic Games Publishing and Development business. We have generated limited revenues to date from this segment. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our revenues from our Electronic Games operations was $128,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, our revenues from our Electronic Games operations was $27,000. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have published seven mobile games, but we have not yet realized significant revenue from those games. There is no guarantee that revenue from our games segment will continue or develop and grow in amounts sufficient to fund operations.

 

We have a new and evolving business model.

 

Our Company and its prospects should be examined in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by new and development stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. These risks include, among other things, the speed at which we can develop, publish and market our games; the growth of our games business, including our recently published games for mobile devices, each having limited market acceptance, and our ability to and to derive significant game play and advertising revenues from these ventures.

 

In early 2015, we changed our business model to focus on becoming a developer and publisher of “free-to-play” games for smartphones, tablets and other next-generation platforms. Free-to-play games are games that a player can download and play for free, but which allow players to access a variety of additional content and features for a fee, and to engage with various advertisements and offers that generate revenues for us. We launched our first free-to-play games – Plucky and Plucky Rush -- in the first and second fiscal quarters of 2015, and in 2016 launched Retro Shot, Rune Guardian, and Pocket Starships. We launched Home Makeover on May 30, 2017 and we launched Steven Universe: Tap Together on August 2, 2018. Although we recently retained persons with industry experience we believe will significantly advance our business, our operating history under this business model is relatively short. Regardless, our efforts to develop successful free-to-play games may prove unsuccessful or, even if successful, may take more time than we anticipate to achieve significant revenues because, among other reasons:

 

•       Many well-funded public and private companies have released, or plan to release, free-to-play games, and this competition may make it more difficult for us to differentiate our games and derive significant revenues from them;

 

•       Free-to-play games, including those delivered as a service, have a relatively limited history, and it is unclear how popular this style of game will become or remain or its revenue potential;

 

•       Our free-to-play strategy assumes that a large number of players will download our games because they are free and that we will then be able to effectively monetize the games; however, players may not widely download our games for a variety of reasons, including poor consumer reviews or other negative publicity, ineffective or insufficient marketing efforts, lack of sufficient features;

9  
 

 

•       Even if our games are widely downloaded, we may fail to retain users or optimize the monetization of these games for a variety of reasons, including poor game design or quality, lack of community features, gameplay issues such as game unavailability, long load times or an unexpected termination of the game due to technical issues, or our failure to effectively respond and adapt to changing user preferences through game updates; and,

 

•       We may have difficulty hiring the additional monetization, operations, technology, user experience and product management personnel that we require to support our continued the expansion of our digital publishing and advertising company.

 

We have a history of losses, our accountants expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and we require additional capital to execute our business plan.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not yet achieved profitable operations. We have accumulated losses, a working capital deficiency and we expect to incur further losses in the implementation of our current business plan, all of which, according to our accountants, casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds through the receipt of conventional sources of capital or through future sales of our Shares, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may further dilute our book value, and that dilution may be material.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

If we are unable to successfully develop and market our games or features, or our games do not perform as expected, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.

 

With the release of any new game or any new features to an existing game, we are subject to the risks generally associated with new product or feature introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance, delays in development and implementation, and failure of new games or features to perform as expected. In order to introduce and market new or enhanced games or features successfully with minimal disruption in customer purchasing patterns and user experiences, we must manage the transition from existing games in the market. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop and market, on a timely basis, games, game enhancements or features that respond to technological advances by others, that our new games will adequately address the changing needs of the market or that we will successfully manage transitions. Further, failure to generate sufficient cash from operations or financing activities to develop or obtain improved games and technologies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We distribute our games primarily on Apple's iOS and Google's Android platforms, and if the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store were unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.

 

We distribute our games primarily on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms. We are subject to each of Apple’s and Google’s standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on their respective storefronts. Each of Apple and Google has broad discretion to change its standard terms and conditions. In addition, these standard terms and conditions can be vague and subject to changing interpretations by Apple or Google. Any change to these standard terms and conditions, or in Apple's or Google's interpretation of these standard terms and conditions, could materially harm our games business, and we may not receive any advance warning of such change. In addition, each of Apple and Google have the right to prohibit a developer from distributing its applications on its storefront if the developer violates its standard terms and conditions. In the event that either Apple or Google ever determines that we are in violation of its standard terms and conditions, including by a new interpretation, and prohibits us from distributing our games on its storefront, it would materially harm our business and could cause our stock price to significantly decline. We also rely on the continued function of the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, as we distribute our games through these two digital storefronts. There have been occasions in the past when these digital storefronts were unavailable for short periods of time. In the event that either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.

 

If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel, our ability to grow our business may be harmed.

 

Over time we will need to hire additional qualified personnel with expertise in such areas as digital production, software development, artists, financial matters and sales and marketing. We compete for qualified individuals with numerous other

digital media and software development companies. Competition for such individuals is intense, and we cannot be certain that our search for such personnel will be successful. Attracting and retaining qualified personnel will be critical to our success.

10  
 

We rely on key members of management, and the loss of their services could adversely affect our success and development.

 

Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of certain other key executives and technical personnel. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and ability to meet our business objectives in the digital game development and publishing spaces. Additionally, our success is highly dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers and our directors. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace key executives in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our being unable to satisfactorily execute our business. The loss of one or more of our executive officers and directors could slow the growth of our business, or it may cease to operate at all, which may result in the total loss of an investor’s investment.

 

Compensation may be paid to our executive officers, directors and employees regardless of our profitability, which may limit our ability to finance our business and adversely affect our business.

 

Our executive officers are receiving compensation, and other current and future employees of our company may be entitled to receive compensation, payments and reimbursements regardless of whether we operate at a profit or a loss. Such obligations may negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to finance our digital publishing and advertising initiatives, which could cause our business to fail.

 

Because of pressures from competitors with more resources, we may fail to implement our business strategy profitably.

 

The digital games, publishing and advertising business is highly fragmented, extremely competitive, and subject to rapid change. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith are numerous and significant. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of new games, and enhancements to our existing games developed and published by us. We are a new and development stage digital game development and publishing company that distributes digital games for mobile media technology. Larger and more established companies, with significantly greater resources, are active in our market with similar technologies, and may be in better competitive positions than we are.

 

We may be unable to compete with larger or more established companies.

 

We face a large and growing number of competitors in the digital publishing and game entertainment industries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and more established relationships in these industries than we do. As a result, certain of these competitors may be in better positions to compete with us for customers and audiences. We cannot be sure that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.

 

If we do not continue to develop and offer compelling content and games and attract new consumers or maintain the engagement of our existing users, our advertising revenues could be adversely affected.

 

In order to attract consumers and maintain or increase engagement with our games, we believe we must offer compelling content. Acquiring, developing and offering new content, as well as new functionality, features and enhanced performance of our existing content and games, may require significant investment and time to develop. In addition, consumer tastes are difficult to predict and subject to rapid change. If we are unable to develop sufficient games that are attractive and relevant to our users, we may not be able to maintain or increase our existing users’ engagement on or attract new consumers to our games and as a result our search rankings, traffic and usage metrics, and advertising revenues may be adversely affected.

 

If our Games do not achieve market acceptance, we may not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or further development.

 

While we believe that a viable market exists for our games, there is no assurance that our games will prove to be an attractive alternative to conventional or competitive games in the markets that we have identified. If a viable market for our games cannot be created for our business or our games do not achieve market acceptance, we may need to commit greater resources than are currently available to develop commercially viable and competitive games. There can be no assurance that we would have sufficient financial resources to fund such development or that such development would be successful. In addition, if our games do not generate sufficient revenues, or we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be unable to fund our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend on financial, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that, when required, sufficient funds will be available to us on satisfactory terms.

11  
 

 

Our business will suffer if the Internet or network systems fail or become unavailable.

 

A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of Internet infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our games to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain users and content providers. Systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of games, or an increase in response time, could result in a loss of potential customers or content providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, our games could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.

 

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation, which could be expensive, divert management's attention, and harm our business.

 

Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We seek protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our games that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party games that compete with our games and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our games, processes, patents or licenses, or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

 

In addition, we may use open source software in our games and will continue to use open source software in the future. From time to time, we may be subject to claims brought against companies that incorporate open source software into their games or services, claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to changing our games or services, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

 

There has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or, if developed, be maintained. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price could significantly reduce the price of our stock.

 

There is no Assurance of Continued Public Trading Market, and Being a Low-Priced Security May Affect the Market Value of Our Stock

 

12  
 

To date, there has been only a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our stock. Our stock is subject to the low-priced security or so called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, according to recent regulations adopted by the SEC, any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions that we no longer meet). For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Included in this document are the following:

 

- the bid and offer price quotes in and for the "penny stock," and the number of shares to which the quoted prices apply,
  - the brokerage firm's compensation for the trade, and,
  - the compensation received by the brokerage firm's sales person for the trade.

 

In addition, the brokerage firm must send the investor:

 

- a monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each "penny stock" in the investor's account, and,
  - a written statement of the investor's financial situation and investment goals.

 

If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.

 

Resale restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" are sometimes imposed by some states, which may make transaction in our stock more difficult and may reduce the value of the investment. Various state securities laws pose restrictions on transferring "penny stocks" and as a result, investors in our common stock may have the ability to sell their shares of our common stock impaired.

 

There can be no assurance we will have market makers in our stock.

 

If the number of market makers in our stock should decline, the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock which could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for the common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, the lack of market makers could result in persons being unable to buy or sell shares of the common stock on any secondary market.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we may incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends.

 

Nevada Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That Stockholders May Consider Favorable

 

13  
 

Provisions of Nevada law, such as its business combination statute, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

 

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as “may,” “assumes,” “forecasts,” “positions,” “predicts,” “strategy,” “will,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “budgets,” “potential,” “continue” and variations thereof, and other statements contained in this prospectus, regarding matters that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as certain assumptions, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to those risks identified under “Risk Factors” and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. The information in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement speaks only as of the date of that document and the information incorporated herein by reference speaks only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Forward-looking statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our games and our future economic performance. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development and commercialization of our technologies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. Any proceeds from the exercise of warrants will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including but not limited to funding for additional game development, game marketing and user acquisition costs, hiring additional personnel, and the costs of operating as a public company. We will pay for expenses of this offering, except that the selling stockholders will pay any broker discounts or commissions or equivalent expenses and expenses related to the sale of their shares.

 

 

DILUTION

 

The discretionary sale of up to 11,788,000 shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders in accordance with the respective warrant agreements, stock purchase agreements, convertible notes and consulting agreements will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net loss per share could increase in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline. If our stock price decreases during the pricing period, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.

A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

16  
 

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Capital Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and 10,000,000 preferred shares, $0.0001 par value.

 

Common Stock

 

As of August 31, 2018, 198,145,066 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

 

The holders of our Common Stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our Common Stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our Common Stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

 

All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the applicable statutes of the state of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities. All material terms of our Common Stock have been addressed in this section.

 

Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of August 31, 2018, we have two series of preferred stock issued and outstanding:

 

· 107,636 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible to 26,909,028 common shares), par value $0.0001. In our discretion, we will determine when and if dividends will be paid on the Class “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, and whether it will be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. All Class “A” Preferred Stockholders shall be treated the same with respect to the payment of dividends. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Class “A” Preferred Stock by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock, the shares of common stock issued as dividends will be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Class “A” Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable as may be determined by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Class “A” Convertible Preferred Stock will have priority as to dividends over the Common Stock. The holders of the Class “A” Preferred Stock shall vote for the election of directors, and shall have full voting rights, except that each Class “A” Preferred share shall entitle the holder to exercise ten thousand (10,000) votes for each one (1) Class “A” Preferred Share held. The Class “A” Convertible Preferred Shares are not redeemable; and,

 

· 20,000 shares of Series “E” Convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001. The Series “E” Convertible preferred stock pays no dividends and is convertible to common stock based upon proceeds received upon issuance of the shares, divided by the average closing bid price for the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the conversion date, and is adjustable to prevent dilution. At August 31, 2018, the 20,000 Class “E” preferred shares were convertible to 500,000 common shares, and convertible at the option of the Company at par value only after repayment of any shareholder loans from Joseph Fiore, our former Chairman of the Board, and subject to the holder’s option to convert. Owners of Series “E” Convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote 1,000 votes per share of Series “E” Convertible Preferred Shares, and are entitled to liquidation preference at par value. Owners of Series “E” Convertible preferred shares are senior to all other shares of preferred or common shares issued past, present and future.
17  
 

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders of our Common or Preferred Stock. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations. Dividend rights of both our common and preferred shareholders will entitle them to the same dividend that other shareholders of the same class receive.

 

Warrants

 

At its discretion, the Company may periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO OUR COMPANY

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General Development of the Business

 

We were incorporated under the name Conceptualistics, Inc., on January 6, 1988 in Delaware. We have never filed for bankruptcy or been the subject of a receivership.

 

On December 16, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our domicile to Nevada. On February 26, 2015, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to SPYR ® , Inc. Our name change reflected a new direction for our Company. We fundamentally changed our primary business to focus on our electronic games publishing and development business. We are currently operating as a holding company.

 

Internet and Electronic Games Initiatives

 

On March 24, 2015, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR APPS ® , LLC (“SPYR APPS ® ”) to implement our electronic games publishing and development initiatives. SPYR APPS ® is engaged in the publishing of electronic games that are downloaded for free by users of mobile devices such as cellular telephones and tablets, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems. Our current strategy is to publish and market games developed by third-party developers with the potential to develop our own games, either by contracting with third-party developers or by building or acquiring an in-house development team, and to generate revenues from them based upon users paying for additional features and levels of game play, and from the sale of advertising in our games. We currently have no in-house development capability. Contracting with a third-party developer, we released three games: “Plucky” and “Plucky Rush” in April and May 2015, and “Rune Guardian” in December 2015. Our developed games use the “free to play” model, which allows users to download the games onto their devices and play them at no cost. “Free to play” is a business model that has existed in videogames (and other industries) for quite some time but one that has, in the last 2-3 years, been adopted by a large number of games developers and publishers both big and small. “Free to play” gives you a way of leveraging the availability of low cost (in the case of games hosted by social networks including Facebook, or otherwise hosted in ‘the cloud’), or even free digital distribution (as is the case of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android markets). The “free to play” model allows us to offer games that have zero cost barriers preventing players from trying our games. Players that choose to not continue with the game nonetheless still becomes a marketing channel to their friends, who may become a critical mass of players who do choose to pay for optional aspects of the games, including customization, faster game progress, additional content and more effective competition against other players. There are no limits on potential purchases, thus catering to the financial capabilities/preferences of all players.

 

We monetize the games by offering features and opportunities within the games that allow players to spend money to unlock new game levels and features. Our games are available for download for use on the Apple and Google mobile operating systems that are common to mobile phones, media players and tablet devices manufactured by companies including Apple, Samsung and others. We also intend to market and generate revenues from advertising space in our games.

 

We entered into our first publication and marketing agreement on October 21, 2015 with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of “Retro Shot.” “Retro Shot” was fully launched in February of 2016 and is available for free download on mobile devices in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. On December 17, 2015, we entered into our second publishing and marketing agreement with Spectacle Games Publishing, for its “Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game” “Pocket Starships.” “Pocket Starships” is a space warfare themed game that is free to play, and available for download on hardware wide array of devices including most mobile phones, tablets and computers, and is available to play regardless of what operating system the player uses, whether that is an Apple iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad, a Google Android device, including phones and tablets from a variety of hardware manufacturers using the Android operating system, or an Amazon Fire OS device such as a Kindle, on a PC in a web browser or on Facebook’s “Game Room” or on VK.com. “Pocket Starships” is also available to play on the Internet at www.pocketstarships.com. “Pocket Starships’” software engine allows players worldwide to play against each other in real time and in the same game “universe,” regardless of what platform is used. Thus, players can play “Pocket Starships” regardless of whether they are playing in a web browser at their desk, or using an iPhone on the other side of the planet. “Pocket Starships” game play is hardware and software agnostic, so regardless of device all users have the same game experience. We believe these attributes set “Pocket Starships” apart from every other game.

20  
 

 

We also believe that the true cross-platform and real-time engine of “Pocket Starships” positions the game to take advantage of the excitement generated by “esports” tournaments. “esports,” also known as “electronic sports,” pits teams of professional digital game players against each other in organized, multiplayer video game competitions. The most common video game genres associated with eSports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena games. Tournaments such as The International, the League of Legends World Championship, the Battle.net World Championship Series, the Evolution Championship Series, and the Intel Extreme Masters, provide both live broadcasts of the competition, and prize money and salaries to competitors. We recently have been releasing a series of software enhancements that will allow users to engage in “player vs. player” battles and other enhancements that will enable “Pocket Starships” to participate in eSports tournaments.

 

In June 2016, we obtained an exclusive option to purchase all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships (the “Option”) in consideration for 3,750,000 cash-based options, exercisable as follows: (a) 500,000 shares at $1.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2017; (b) 750,000 shares at $2.50 per share, expiring on December 31, 2018; and (c) 2,500,000 shares at $5.00 per share, expiring on December 31, 2019. Under the Option, had the Company decided to exercise the Option, it would have purchased the assets for a cash payment of $5,000,000 plus $10,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time of closing of the purchase. The exclusive Option was exercisable by us at any time, in our sole discretion, through December 31, 2020.

 

On October 23, 2017, we restructured and exercised the Option by entering into a definitive agreement pursuant to which SPYR ® acquired all of the game related assets of Pocket Starships in a cashless transaction, including the publishing agreement with Spectacle. The original terms of the Option were terminated. As a result, SPYR ® acquired rights to retain 100% of the revenue generated from the game and will be the sole owner of all of the assets related to the game. The acquisition included, among other assets, all Pocket Starships related intellectual property, the userbase, artwork, software, internet domains, game store accounts (such as App Store, Play Store, Amazon, and Facebook Gameroom), web portal accounts (Facebook, VK.com, Kongregate, etc.) and internet domains (www.pocketstarships.com). Under the terms of the agreement, the game's owner received 8,000,000 restricted shares of SPYR ® stock (subject to resale gating provisions) and 8,000,000 three-year cash-based options exercisable at $0.50 per share.

 

During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released toward the end of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, through a trading card expansion.

 

During July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Reset Studios, LLC for the development of at least two new idle tapper games to be published by SPYR ® , the first of which, Steven Universe: Tap Together, features characters and storylines from Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe . The Company has secured the necessary license to use the Steven Universe IP in the game through a license agreement with Cartoon Network. The game allows players to play as a team of their favorite Steven Universe characters to battle increasingly difficult enemies in order to unlock new characters and rewards. By performing simple actions such as tapping the screen, players can progress in the game even when they’re not actively playing. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company intends to utilize cash on hand, shareholder loans and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities to conduct its ongoing business, and to also conduct strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and software development costs and implementation of our business plans generally. The Company may also decide to diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

 

Business Overview

 

Our primary operation is the development of our electronic games publishing and development business through our wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR, APPS ® , LLC. Our operations include entering into contracts with third party developers to create games we own and market ourselves; and, entering into contracts with third party developers to market and publish electronic

21  
 

games used on mobile devices such as telephones, tablets, PCs and console gaming systems, including those using Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android mobile operating systems.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Our electronic game assets are distributed for download on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Play Stores. For players of Pocket Starships, the game may be accessed via any web browser connected to the Internet, through hundreds of online portals worldwide, on Facebook.com, VK.com or through Amazon’s App Store.

 

Research and Development

 

We do not currently develop electronic games. However, from time to time we enter into third party agreements with game developers to create games that we own as our own intellectual property including: Plucky, Plucky Rush and Retro Shot. We currently do not have any contracts for the development of games that would add to our intellectual properties. As a component of our electronic games marketing and publishing business we contract with third party developers to market and publish third party games. Currently, we have contracts to market and publish Pocket Starships and Steven Universe Tap Together, both of which are developed by third parties.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We currently own four electronic games, Pocket Starships, Plucky, Plucky Rush and Rune Guardian. We also have a publication and marketing agreement with Superplus Games Oy for the publication of the game “Retro Shot, licenses to use Steven Universe IP in Steven Universe: Tap together, a game published by the Company and owned and developed by Reset Studios and to use Star Trek IP in Pocket Starships.

 

Competition

 

The mobile game market is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside our control, including the timely development and introduction of the mobile games we publish and market, and the related enhancements, functionality, performance, reliability, customer service and support and marketing efforts. Due to the relatively low barriers to entry in the mobile game market, we expect additional competition from other emerging companies. Many of our existing and potential competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources that will compete for available users, developers, talent and third-party games. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the publishing and promotion of their mobile games. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

 

Employees

 

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had 4 employees and 1 leased employees, none of whom is represented by a labor union.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On October 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware case: Zakeni Limited v. SPYR, Inc., f/k/a Eat at Joe’s., Ltd. The suit relates to the Company’s issuance of two convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 in 1998. On July 12, 2018, the court approved a Joint Motion for Order Approving Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will issue 3,500,000 common shares valued at $1,050,000, warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.25 per share valued at $276,000, warrants to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at $0.50 per share valued at $398,000, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.75 per share valued at $259,000. The total value of the settlement, $1,983,000 has been recorded as litigation settlement liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and is a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

 

The Company is being represented by Alex Spiro, Esq., a partner with the firm of Quinn Emmanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Marc S. Gottlieb, Esq., a partner with the firm of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP.

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

  To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SPYR, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SPYR, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for SPYR, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Nature of Business

 

The primary focus of SPYR, Inc. (the “Company”) is to act as a holding company and develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC and SPYR APPS, Oy, we operate our mobile games and applications business. The focus of the SPYR APPS subsidiaries is the development and publication of our own mobile games as well as the publication of games developed by third-party developers. As of October 5, 2016, SPYR APPS, Oy ceased business activities and completed the dissolution process on October 18, 2017.

 

Through our other wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL Airport, Inc., we owned and operated the restaurant “Eat at Joe’s®,” which was located in the Philadelphia International Airport since 1997. Our lease in the Philadelphia Airport expired in April 2017. Concurrent with expiration of the lease the restaurant closed. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the assets and liabilities of EAJ as well as the results of its operations were presented in these financial statements as discontinued operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPYR, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (discontinued operations, see Note 9), and Branded Foods Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, however, the issues described below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $15,643,000 and utilized cash in continuing operations of $4,020,000. As of December 31, 2017, our cash balance was $86,000 and we had trading securities of $48,000. In addition, the Company’s restaurant, Eat at Joes closed in April 2017, concurrent with the expiration of the lease. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to expand its mobile games and application development and publishing activities, such as Pocket Starships, through acquisition and/or development of its own intellectual property and publishing agreements with developers.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities or through sales of our common stock. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2018. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for trading securities, fixed assets, intangible assets, capitalized licensing rights, amounts of potential liabilities, and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 415,559, Options – 13,320,000, Warrants – 1,700,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the year ended December 31, 2016 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Non-vested Common – 20,333, Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 161,108, Options – 12,900,000 and Warrants – 200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Capitalized Gaming Assets and Licensing Rights

 

Capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights represent costs to acquire trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, music or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the right to use the intellectual property in multiple products over a number of years, or alternatively, for a single product.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in evaluating these qualitative factors.

 

On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all assets that refer, relate or pertain to the real—time cross-platform MMO game commonly known and referred to as “Pocket Starships,” including but not limited to all intellectual property, know how, “urls,” websites, game engines, game store accounts, prior versions, company names and trade names, business plans, financial reports, financial data, employee data, customer lists, forecasts, strategies, and all other business information; manufacturing or other technical or scientific know-how, specifications, technical drawings, drawings, artwork, music, diagrams, schematics, technology, processes, and any other trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, materials, formulae, compositions, information, data, results, plans, surveys and/or reports of a technical nature; and software programs (including all forms of code), software documentation, software development kits, game design documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services, including any additions, enhancements or modifications to the foregoing or derivatives thereof after the date hereof.

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $3,200,000, options to purchase up to eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $2,452,000, and assumed liabilities of $210,000 for a total purchase price of $5,862,000. The options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $0.50 and will expire starting August 31, 2020. The acquisition of “Pocket Starships” was reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets of $5,381,000. The Company will amortize the capitalized cost on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven to ten years.

 

Further, the options previously issued pursuant to a purchase option agreement dated June 25, 2016, which provided for the option to purchase up to three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand shares of Registrant’s common stock, are fully vested and remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the purchase option agreement.

 

During 2017, the Company capitalized $175,000 pursuant to a licensing agreement for the non-exclusive, limited right to incorporate certain intellectual property (IP) from various STAR TREK television series in to future updates to and expansions of the Pocket Starships game. The Company estimates that the IP will have an estimated life of 1.6 years, which approximates the term of the license. In addition, we also acquired the game titled Battlewack: Idle Lords for $100,000, pursuant to settlement with the game owner and developer. Battlewack: Idle Lords requires additional development before it can be released.

 

In a prior period, the Company capitalized $50,000 as a result of the acquisition of licensing rights of one gaming application. The Company estimates that the gaming application will have an estimated life of five years, which approximates the term of the license.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $52,000. As of December, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accumulated amortization was $52,000 and $10,000, respectively and the unamortized capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights amounted to $743,000 and $40,000 respectively.

 

The expected annual amortization expense related to capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights as of December 31, 2017, is as follows:

 

  2018     $ 69,000  
  2019       69,000  
  2020       69,000  
  2021       69,000  
  2022       69,000  
  Thereafter       123,000  
       Total     $ 468,000  

 

Software Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for software development are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $1,666,000 and $1,151,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. We recognize revenue when the sale is completed.

 

Though our wholly owned subsidiary E.A.J.: PHL, Airport, Inc. (discontinued operations, see Note 9) we generated revenue from the sale of food and beverage products through our restaurant. Revenue from the restaurant was recognized upon sale to a customer and receipt of payment.

 

The Company recognizes revenue using four basic criteria that must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured, which is typically after receipt of payment and delivery.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation is recorded at the time property and equipment is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the expected useful lives of the related assets or the lease term. The estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Equipment 5- 7 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Leasehold improvements 6 years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation and amortization thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for its intangible assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other . Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates non-amortizing intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

 

The cost of internally developing, maintaining and restoring intangible assets that are not specifically identifiable, that have indeterminate lives, or that are inherent in a continuing business and related to an entity as a whole, are recognized as an expense when incurred.

An intangible asset with a definite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized are evaluated at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded amortization expense of $6,000. As of December 31, 2017, total intangible assets amounted to $20,000 which consist of website development costs. There were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets at December 31, 2017. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have to record impairment to our intangible assets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant and is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with financial institutions, in the form of demand deposits. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of this financial institution.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

F- 11  

 

SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The Company’s trading securities are measured at fair value using level 1 fair values.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising, marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Advertising, marketing and promotional expense was $195,000 and $350,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively and was reflected as part of Other General and Administrative Expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reclassifications

 

In presenting the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, certain costs and expenses paid to third party developers in the amount of $735,000, that were previously reflected as other general and administrative expenses, have been reclassified and reported as part of research and development.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Our revenue is recognized at the time of sale and we do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have any significant impact on our operating cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases . ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - TRADING SECURITIES

 

Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. Trading securities are recorded at market value and the difference between market value and cost of the securities is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities will be utilized to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth, including, but not limited to: conducting our ongoing business, conducting strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of the Company’s business plans generally.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

Investments in securities are summarized as follows:

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company did not provide any Federal and State income tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the Company’s net losses.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed using the US statutory federal income tax rate is as follows:

 

    December 31,
    2017   2016
Tax provision at US statutory federal income tax rate   $ (690,000 )   $ (2,320,000 )
State income tax, net of federal benefit     —         —    
Change in valuation allowances     690,000       2,320,000  
     Provision for Income Taxes   $ —       $ —    

 

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets were:

 

    December 31,
    2017   2016
Deferred Tax Assets:                
     Net operating loss carry forward   $ 4,926,000     $ 3,746,000  
     Unrealized losses on marketable securities     2,000       251,000  
     Stock based compensation     —         197,000  
     Depreciation and other     (13,000 )     31,000  
      4,915,000       4,225,000  
Less valuation allowance     (4,915,000 )     (4,225,000 )
Net Deferred Tax Asset   $ —       $ —    

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the effects of tax losses, credits and the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $4,915,000 for its deferred tax assets. The Company believes that such assets did not meet the more likely than not criteria to be recoverable through projected future profitable operations in the foreseeable future.

 

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB guidance that addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The FASB also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company’s net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2017 was approximately $18,700,000 and may be offset against future taxable income through 2037. Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation if the Company experiences a 50% change in ownership, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an ownership change would substantially increase the possibility of net operating losses expiring before complete utilization.

In December 2017, new tax known as Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted. The new tax law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax systems including a rate reduction from 35% to 21% beginning in January of 2018, a change in the treatment of foreign earnings going forward, a deemed repatriation transition tax, and changes to allow net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, net operating losses arising after December 31, 2017 will be limited to the lesser of the available net operating loss or 80% of the pre-net operating loss taxable income.

 

In accordance with ASC 740, the impact of a change in tax law is recorded in the period of enactment. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash, change in its net deferred tax balances of approximately $2,429,000 related to the tax rate change. The Company estimates that its deemed repatriation liability will not be material due to its limited international operations.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In many cases the Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. However, as of December 31, 2017, the years subsequent to 2013 remain open and could be subject to examination by tax authorities including the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and major state and local tax jurisdictions in the United States.

 

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative expenses.”

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest and penalties, nor did the Company recognized any interest or penalties expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Legal Proceedings

 

We are involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies to the extent that our management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. A material legal proceeding that is currently pending is as follows:

 

On October 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware case: Zakeni Limited v. SPYR, Inc., f/k/a Eat at Joe’s., Ltd. The suit relates to the Company’s issuance of two convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 in 1998. On July 12, 2018, the court approved a Joint Motion for Order Approving Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will issue 3,500,000 common shares valued at $1,050,000, warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.25 per share valued at $276,000, warrants to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at $0.50 per share valued at $398,000, and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares at $0.75 per share valued at $259,000. The total value of the settlement, $1,983,000 has been recorded as litigation settlement liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, with a corresponding charge to litigation settlement costs on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016,

 

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

 

The Company is being represented by Alex Spiro, Esq., a partner with the firm of Quinn Emmanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Marc S. Gottlieb, Esq., a partner with the firm of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP.

 

Employment Agreements

 

Pursuant to employment agreements entered in December 2014 and October 2015, the Company agreed to compensate three officers with a base salary in the aggregate of $450,000 per year through 2020. In addition, as part of the employment agreement, the Company also agreed to grant these officers an aggregate of 1.55 million shares of common stock at the beginning of each employment year.

 

Game Development Agreements

 

The Company is party to various game development agreements. Payments are contingent upon the developer(s) meeting specified milestones and game performance. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has agreed to pay up to $843,000 during the period from January 2018 through January 2019.

 

Common Stock To Be Issued

 

The Company is party to various third-party service agreements to be paid through the issuance of the company’s restricted common stock. Contingent upon the third parties providing the agreed upon services, the Company will issue up to 4,570,000 restricted common shares at various intervals during the period from January 2018 through February 2019. The shares will be recorded at fair value on the date earned under the respective agreements.

The table below represents the average assumptions used in valuing the stock options and warrants granted in fiscal 2016:

 

      Year Ended
December 31,
 
      2016  
Expected life in years     0.61 – 3.0  
Stock price volatility     132% - 159%  
Risk free interest rate     0.56 % - 1.54%  
Expected dividends     —

The table below represents the average assumptions used in valuing the stock options and warrants granted in fiscal 2017:

 

      Year Ended
December 31,
 
      2017  
Expected life in years     1.00 – 3.19  
Stock price volatility     127% - 157%  
Risk free interest rate     1.26 % - 1.70%  
Expected dividends     —    
Forfeiture rate     —    

 

The assumptions used in the Black Scholes models referred to above are based upon the following data: (1) the contractual life of the underlying non-employee options is the expected life. The expected life of the employee option is estimated by considering the contractual term of the option, the vesting period of the option, the employees’ expected exercise behavior and the post-vesting employee turnover rate. (2) The expected stock price volatility was based upon the Company’s historical stock price over the expected term of the option. (3) The risk free interest rate is based on published U.S. Treasury Department interest rates for the expected terms of the underlying options. (4) The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common shareholders in the future. (5) The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeiture activity and assumptions regarding future forfeitures based on the composition of current grantees.

 

NOTE 8 - PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Class A Preferred Stock carries the following rights and preferences;

 

Dividends

 

The Company shall, in its discretion, determine when and if dividends will be paid on the Class A Preferred Shares, and whether it will be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. All Class A Preferred Stockholders shall be treated the same with respect to the payment of dividends. In the event the Company elects to pay a portion or all of the dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock, the shares of common stock issued as dividends will be restricted, unregistered shares, and will be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to the shares of Class A Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable as may be determined by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. The Class A Preferred Stock will have priority as to dividends over the Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights

 

The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall vote for the election of directors, and shall have full voting rights, except that each Class A Preferred share shall entitle the holder to exercise ten thousand (10,000) votes for each one (1) Class A Preferred Share held.

 

Redemptive Rights

 

The Class A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

 

Conversion Rights

 

The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will be entitled at any time to convert their shares of Class A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock at the rate of one (1) share of Class A Preferred Stock be converted into common shares of the Company at an agreed price of forty cents ($0.40) per share (the "Conversion Price"), which, based upon the recorded fair value of the Class A Preferred Stock, results in a conversion ratio of 1 share of Class A Preferred Stock to approximately 250 shares of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued.

 

The Conversion Ratio of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted in certain circumstances, including the payment of a stock dividend on shares of the Common Stock and combinations and subdivisions of the Common Stock.

 

In the case of any share exchange, capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or reclassification, whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities or property, the Company will make appropriate provisions so that the holder of each share of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding, will have the right thereafter to convert such share of Class A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class A Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, share exchange, capital reorganization or reclassification. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately increased in the case of subdivision of shares. If the shares of Common Stock are combined, consolidated or reverse split into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionally decreased. The kind and type of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock both before and after combination, consolidation or reverse split of the Common Shares shall be the same.

The same transfer restrictions imposed on the Class A Preferred Stock shall be applicable to the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, although for purposes of Rule 144 as presently in effect, the holding period requirement may be met by adding together the period in which the Class A Preferred Stock is held and the period in which the Common Stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is converted, is held.

 

Other Provisions

 

The shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be issued and any Common Shares into which it is converted, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall not have pre-emptive rights with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Company or any other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock or rights or options to purchase any such shares.

 

The Class E Convertible Preferred Stock carries the following rights and preferences;

 

* No dividends.
* Convertible to common stock based upon proceeds received upon issuance of the shares, divided by the average closing bid price for the Company’s common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the conversion date, and is adjustable to prevent dilution.  At December 31, 2017, the 20,000 Class E preferred shares were convertible to 415,559 common shares.
* Convertible at the Option of the Company at par value only after repayment of the shareholder loans from Joseph Fiore and subject to the holder’s option to convert.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Organization

 

The Company was incorporated as Conceptualistics, Inc. on January 6, 1988 in Delaware. Subsequent to its incorporation, the Company changed its name to Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. In February 2015, the Company changed its name to SPYR, Inc. and adopted a new ticker symbol “SPYR” effective March 12, 2015.

 

Nature of Business

 

The primary focus of SPYR, Inc. (the “Company”) is to act as a holding company and develop a portfolio of profitable subsidiaries, not limited by any particular industry or business.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR APPS, LLC we operate our mobile games and applications business. The focus of the SPYR APPS subsidiary is the development and publication of our own mobile games as well as the publication of games developed by third-party developers.

 

Through our other wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL Airport, Inc., we owned and operated the restaurant “Eat at Joe’s®,” which was located in the Philadelphia International Airport since 1997. Our lease in the Philadelphia Airport expired in April 2017. Concurrent with expiration of the lease the restaurant closed. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the assets and liabilities of EAJ as well as the results of its operations were presented in these financial statements as discontinued operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPYR, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SPYR APPS, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company, E.A.J.: PHL, Airport Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (discontinued operations, see Note 7), and Branded Foods Concepts, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, however, the issues described below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $5,013,000 and utilized cash in continuing operations of $1,476,000. As of June 30, 2018, our cash balance was $168,000 and we had trading securities of $19,000. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SPYR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

(Unaudited)

The Company plans to expand its mobile games and application development and publishing activities, such as Pocket Starships and Steven Universe: Tap Together, through acquisition and/or development of its own intellectual property and publishing agreements with developers.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities, through sales of our common stock, and through related party loans. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or alternative financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through calendar year 2018. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions used by management affected impairment analysis for trading securities, fixed assets, intangible assets, capitalized licensing rights, amounts of potential liabilities, and valuation of issuance of equity securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (EPS) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company. In computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised, and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 312,520, Options – 13,740,000, Warrants – 5,300,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 312,520, Options – 13,740,000, Warrants – 5,300,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 185,874, Options – 6,120,000, Warrants – 1,200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017 are the same because the inclusion of the potential shares (Class A – 26,909,028, Class E – 185,874, Options – 6,120,000, Warrants – 1,200,000) would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Capitalized Gaming Assets and Licensing Rights

 

Capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights represent costs to acquire trademarks, copyrights, software, technology, music or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development of our products. Depending upon the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the right to use the intellectual property in multiple products over a number of years, or alternatively, for a single product.

 

Significant management judgments and estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs, the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred. If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates in evaluating these qualitative factors.

 

On October 23, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all assets that refer, relate or pertain to the real—time cross-platform MMO game commonly known and referred to as “Pocket Starships,” including but not limited to all intellectual property, know how, “urls,” websites, game engines, game store accounts, prior versions, company names and trade names, business plans, financial reports, financial data, employee data, customer lists, forecasts, strategies, and all other business information; manufacturing or other technical or scientific know-how, specifications, technical drawings, drawings, artwork, music, diagrams, schematics, technology, processes, and any other trade secrets, discoveries, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, materials, formulae, compositions, information, data, results, plans, surveys and/or reports of a technical nature; and software programs (including all forms of code), software documentation, software development kits, game design documents, and formulae related to the current, future and proposed products and services, including any additions, enhancements or modifications to the foregoing or derivatives thereof after the date hereof.

 

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $3,200,000, options to purchase up to eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $2,452,000 and assumed liabilities of $210,000 for a total purchase price of $5,862,000. The options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $0.50 and will expire starting August 31, 2020. The acquisition of “Pocket Starships” was reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets during 4 th quarter 2017. The Company amortizes the capitalized cost on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of seven to ten years.

 

Further, the options previously issued pursuant to a purchase option agreement dated June 25, 2016, which provided for the option to purchase up to three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand shares of Registrant’s common stock, are fully vested and remain in effect in accordance with the terms of the purchase option agreement.

 

During 2017, the Company capitalized $175,000 pursuant to a licensing agreement for the non-exclusive, limited right to incorporate certain intellectual property (IP) from various STAR TREK television series in to future updates to and expansions of the Pocket Starships game. The Company estimates that the IP will have an estimated life of 1.6 years, which approximates the term of the license. In addition, we also acquired the game titled Battlewack: Idle Lords for $100,000, pursuant to settlement with the game owner and developer. Battlewack: Idle Lords requires additional development before it can be released.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded amortization expense of $17,000 and $34,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the unamortized capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights amounted to $709,000 and $743,000 respectively.

Software Development Costs

 

Costs incurred for software development are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $453,000 and $265,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $154,000 and $152,000 in software development costs paid to independent gaming software developers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We adopted this new revenue recognition standard along with is related amendments on January 1, 2018 and have updated our accounting policy for revenue recognition. As expected, at our current level of revenue, the adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations operating cash flows.

 

We determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS, LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. The Company’s dedicated mobile gaming applications can be downloaded through the app stores maintained by Apple and Google. The Company’s cross platform gaming application, which can be played on personal computers, Facebook and mobile devices, can be downloaded from the internet and Facebook as well as through the app stores maintained by Apple, Google and Amazon.

 

We operate our games as live services that allow players to play for free. Within these games players can purchase virtual items to enhance their game-playing experience. Our identified performance obligation is to display the virtual items within the game. Payment is required at time of purchase and the purchase price is a fixed amount.

 

Players can purchase our virtual items through various widely accepted payment methods offered in the games, including Apple iTunes accounts, Google Play accounts, Facebook local currency payments, PayPal and credit cards. Payments from players for virtual items are non-refundable and relate to non-cancellable contracts that specify our obligations.

 

For revenue earned through app stores, players utilize the app store’s local currency-based payments program to purchase virtual items in our games. For all payment transactions on these app store platforms, the app store remits to us 70% of the price we request to be charged to the player for each transaction, which represents the transaction price. We recognize revenue net of the amounts retained by the app stores for platform and payment processing fees.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases . ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features, an entity will recognize the intrinsic value of the feature only when the feature becomes beneficial. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2017-11 effective January 1, 2018 without a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - TRADING SECURITIES

 

Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. Trading securities are recorded at market value and the difference between market value and cost of the securities is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations. Gains from the sales of such marketable securities will be utilized to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth, including, but not limited to: conducting our ongoing business, conducting strategic business development, marketing analysis, due diligence investigations into possible acquisitions, and research and development and implementation of the Company’s business plans generally.

 

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

Investments in securities are summarized as follows:

On June 18, 2018 the Company was named as a defendant in a case filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and Eat at Joe’s, Ltd. n/k/a SPYR, Inc. Joseph A. Fiore was the Chairman of our Board of Directors and is a significant shareholder. Mr. Fiore resigned from his positions as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of the Company effective August 1, 2018. The suit alleges that Mr. Fiore, during 2013 and 2014, while he was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, engaged in improper conduct on behalf of the defendants named in the case related to the Company’s sales of securities in Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. The Commission alleges that Mr. Fiore and the Company unlawfully benefited through the sales of those securities. The Commission also alleges that from 2013 to 2014, the Company’s primary business was investing and that it failed to register as an investment company, resulting in an alleged violation of Section 7(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The suit seeks to disgorge Joseph A. Fiore, Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc., and the Company of alleged profits on the sale of the securities and civil fines related to the Company’s failure to register as an investment company with the Commission.

 

The Company vehemently denies any wrongdoing. The allegations demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of existing precedent and a mischaracterization of the facts and transactions at issue, which were not violative of any securities laws, rules or regulations. The Company will answer these allegations in court.

Expected dividends     —    
Forfeiture rate     —    

 

The assumptions used in the Black Scholes models referred to above are based upon the following data: (1) the contractual life of the underlying non-employee options is the expected life. The expected life of the employee option is estimated by considering the contractual term of the option, the vesting period of the option, the employees’ expected exercise behavior and the post-vesting employee turnover rate. (2) The expected stock price volatility was based upon the Company’s historical stock price over the expected term of the option. (3) The risk-free interest rate is based on published U.S. Treasury Department interest rates for the expected terms of the underlying options. (4) The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to common shareholders in the future. (5) The expected forfeiture rate is based on historical forfeiture activity and assumptions regarding future forfeitures based on the composition of current grantees.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data referred to in this Form S-1.

 

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements, which include statements concerning revenue sources and concentration, selling, general and administrative expenses and capital resources, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Form S-1 that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the information set forth in this Form S-1 is as of June 30, 2018, and we undertake no duty to update this information.

 

Plan of Operations – Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS ® , LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. Our primary focus is on the development and expansion of our mobile games and applications. We anticipate we will need to hire additional employees during 2018 to help with the development and marketing of existing and future games and applications.

 

During the past two years we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of our game Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the 4 th quarter of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: Voyager , through a trading card expansion. In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed. Steven Universe: Tap Together, a new tapper game featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe , a popular animated television series on Cartoon Network. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to build upon this foundation and focus our efforts on marketing and optimizing user acquisition and retention. We will also continue to provide the monthly advances to Spectacle and Reset for further development, enhancement and maintenance of the games as needed to meet the needs of the users and maximize revenue into the future. In addition to our plans for Pocket Starships and the new tapper, we will continue to seek additional games and apps to publish as we strive to broaden our range of products and increase revenues and operating cash flows. We expect these marketing, development and expansion plans will be financed through existing cash, operating cash flows from game revenues and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. The Company may also decide to expand and/or diversify, through acquisition or otherwise, in other related or unrelated business areas if opportunities present themselves.

This change is due primarily to the issuance of restricted common stock, options and warrants in exchange for services, gaming assets, and litigation settlement costs. During 2017 we issued 22,741,924 common shares, 8,920,000 options, and 1,700,000 warrants with a total fair value of $11,512,000 compared to 6,353,899 common shares, 12,900,000 options, and 200,000 warrants with a total fair value of $3,308,000 during 2016.

 

More detailed explanation of the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 changes are included in the following discussions.

 

Total Revenues - For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had total sales of $128,000 and $139,000, respectively, for a decrease of $11,000. Management plans to expand its mobile application and game development and monetization efforts and believes the anticipated updates to Pocket Starships with Star Trek IP and the release of two new idle tapper games planned during 2018 will bring increased revenues in the coming year.

 

  26  

Labor and related expenses include the costs of salaries, wages, leased employees, contract labor, and the fair value of common stock and options granted to employees for services. For the year ended December 31, 2017 the company had total labor and related expenses of $2,358,000 with $898,000 ($386,000 Digital Media and $512,000 Corporate) being settled in cash and $1,459,000 ($503,000 Digital Media and $956,000 corporate) being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the company had total labor and related expenses of $1,467,000 with $941,000 ($385,000 Digital Media and $556,000 Corporate) being settled in cash and $526,000 ($190,000 Digital Media and $336,000 Corporate) being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. At the corporate level, cash compensation decreased by $44,000, while the amounts paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value increased by $620,000 for a net increase of $577,000. At the digital media level, cash compensation increased by $1,000, and the amounts paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value increased by $313,000 for a net increase of $577,000. The cost of labor is expected to increase in conjunction with expansion of the digital media operations.

 

The cost of rent increased $44,000 from $146,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $186,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company leases approximately 5,169 square feet at 4643 South Ulster Street, Denver, Colorado pursuant to an amended lease dated May 21, 2015 and expiring on December 31, 2020. Under the lease, the Company pays annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $142,000 to $152,000. Beginning September 1, 2016, we began leasing office space in Berlin, Germany on a month to month basis at a cost of EUR 250 plus 19% tax per person up to a maximum of 10 people. On June 29, 2017, we signed a new lease for the Berlin office space for EUR 3,570 per month beginning July 2017 through March 31, 2018. Berlin office is being used by leased employees hired by the Company for the marketing and user acquisition for the Pocket Starships game. Beginning October 17, 2016, we began leasing shared office for one employee in Redmond, Washington on a month to month basis at a cost of $225 per month per desk, increasing to $275 per month starting in December 2016.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This is attributable to depreciation and amortization expenses on the purchase of office equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements for the new corporate headquarters in Denver Colorado of $41,000 in 2016, new office equipment of approximately $7,000 in 2016 for use in our Digital Media Mobile Games Publishing and Advertising operations, and the exchange of share and options for the acquisition of $481,000 of gaming assets during 2017.

 

Professional fees increased $2,263,000 from $3,292,000 in 2016 to $5,555,000 in 2017. This increase is Professional fees during 2017 included the grant of 13,442,912 shares of restricted common stock, 920,000 options and 1,700,000 warrants to purchase restricted common stock issued to third parties for legal, public relations, and consulting services, and vesting of shares of restricted common stock with a total fair value of $4,401,000. The remaining $1,154,000 is due to $254,000 in legal, accounting and other professional service needs, $617,000 for public relations, and $293,000 in consulting services related to our digital media operations. Professional fees during 2016 included the grant of 4,509,912 shares of restricted common stock, 150,000 options and 200,000 warrants issued to third parties for public relations and consulting services recorded at fair value of $2,306,000.

Research and development costs. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred research and development costs of $1,666,000 in connection with fees paid to game developers for the development of its current and soon to be released games, compared to research and development costs of $1,151,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Other general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $238,000 for the year months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease can be attributed primarily to marketing costs which decreased by $155,000, travel costs which decreased by $108,000, insurance costs which increased by $17,000 and various other general and administrative cost increases.

 

As described above, during 2016, the Company obtained an exclusive option to purchase all of MMOJoe’s assets including but not limited to all assets pertaining to Pocket Starships for cash of $5,000,000 plus $10,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at the time of closing of the purchase in exchange for granted MMOJoe stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3.75 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The stock options are fully vested, exercisable at a price per share of $1.00, $2.50 and $5.00 and expire starting in December 31,

  27  

2017 through December 31, 2019. Total fair value of the options of $472,000 was recorded as an expense in full in 2016 due to the uncertainty of the timing of such acquisition.

 

The Company had unrealized losses on trading securities of $11,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to unrealized losses of $57,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

 

The Company did not sell any trading securities during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company realized losses from the sale of trading securities of $95,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Realized gains and losses are the difference between the selling prices and fair value of the underlying trading securities at the date of sale.

 

As previously described, during 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all assets that refer, relate or pertain to the real—time cross-platform MMO game commonly known and referred to as “Pocket Starships.” As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $3,200,000, options to purchase up to eight million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $2,452,000 and assumed liabilities of $210,000 for a total purchase price of $5,862,000. The assets acquired are reported as part of capitalized gaming assets and licensing rights valued at $481,000 based upon discounted cash flows. The difference between purchase price and the capitalized value was recorded as loss on write down on assets of $5,381,000.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carry-forwards, capital loss carry overs, unrealized losses on trading securities, and deductible temporary differences of approximately $21,700,000 compared to $13,700,000 in deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased its net operating loss carry-forwards by approximately $9,000,000 and used or lost approximately $1,000,000 in deductible temporary differences. Management believes it is more likely than not that forecasted income, together with future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, will not be sufficient to fully recover the deferred tax assets and has established a 100% valuation allowance of $4,915,000 against these potential future tax benefits. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets quarterly.

This change is due to the cessation of marketing during the latter part of 2017 and first two quarters of 2018 pending updates and expansion of our games Pocket Starships.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to amortization of the $481,000 of gaming assets acquired during fourth quarter 2017.

Results of Operations - For the three months ended June 30, 2018 the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $1,064,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This change is due primarily to decreases in labor and related expenses of $73,000, rent of $10,000, professional fees of 782,000, and other general and administrative costs $247,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

More detailed explanation of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 changes are included in the following discussions.

 

Total Revenues - For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had total sales of $21,000 and $32,000, respectively, for a decrease of $11,000. This change is due to the cessation of marketing during the latter part of 2017 and first two quarters of 2018 for updates and expansion of our existing games. Management plans to expand its mobile application and game development and monetization efforts and believes the anticipated updates to Pocket Starships with Star Trek IP and the release two new idle tapper games planned during 2018 will bring increased revenues in the coming year.

 

Labor and related expenses include the costs of salaries, wages, leased employees, contract labor, and the fair value of common stock and options granted to employees for services. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 the company had total labor and related expenses of $235,000 with $230,000 being settled in cash and $5,000 being paid in vesting of options recorded at fair value. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 the company had total labor and related expenses of $308,000 with $293,000 being settled in cash and $15,000 being paid in restricted stock recorded at fair value. The cost of labor is expected to increase in conjunction with expansion of the digital media operations.

 

The cost of rent decreased $10,000 from $49,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The Company leases approximately 5,169 square feet at 4643 South Ulster Street, Denver, Colorado pursuant to an amended lease dated May 21, 2015 and expiring on December 31, 2020. Under the lease, the Company pays annual base rent on an escalating scale ranging from $142,000 to $152,000. Beginning July 2017, we began leasing office space in Berlin, Germany for EUR 3,570 per month through March 31, 2018. The Berlin office was used by leased employees hired by the Company for the operation of our Pocket Starships game. Beginning October 17, 2016, we began leasing shared office for one employee in Redmond, Washington on a month to month basis at a cost of $275 per month per desk.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by approximately $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Professional fees decreased $782,000 from $1,300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease is Professional fees during 2018 included the grant of 1,045,840 shares of restricted common stock and 1,000,000 warrants to purchase restricted common stock issued to third parties for consulting services, public relations, and other professional fees with a total fair value of $430,000. The remaining $88,000 is due to $70,000 in legal, accounting and other professional service needs, $17,000 for public relations, and $1,000 in consulting services related to our digital media operations. Professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2017 included the grant of 1,155,000 shares of restricted common stock and 150,000 option issued to third parties for consulting services, public relations and vesting of shares of restricted common stock recorded at fair value of $965,000. The remaining $335,000 is due to $72,000 in legal, accounting and other professional service needs, $172,000 for public relations, and $91,000 in consulting services related to our digital media operations.

Research and development costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred research and development costs of $154,000 in connection with fees paid to game developers for the development of its current and soon to be released games, compared to research and development costs of $152,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Other general and administrative expenses decreased $247,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease can be attributed primarily to marketing costs which decreased by $85,000 and various other general and administrative cost decreases.

 

The Company had interest expense on a related party line of credit, convertible notes payable and accrued expenses of $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The company did not have interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Company cancelled an aggregate of 625,000 shares of restricted common stock on termination of a third-party service agreement with a total fair value on the date of termination of $207,000. The Company recorded a gain on cancellation of $113,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The company did not have a gain on cancellation of shares for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Company had unrealized losses on trading securities of $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to unrealized losses of $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Unrealized gains and losses are the result of fluctuations in the quoted market price of the underlying securities at the respective reporting dates.

 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Through our other wholly owned subsidiary, E.A.J.: PHL Airport, Inc., we owned and operated the restaurant “Eat at Joe’s®,” which was located in the Philadelphia International Airport since 1997. Our lease in the Philadelphia Airport expired in April 2017. Concurrent with expiration of the lease the restaurant closed. Pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the assets and liabilities of EAJ as well as the results of its operations were presented in the accompanying financial statements as discontinued operations.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company generated a net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $15,643,000 and utilized cash in operations of $4,118,000. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had current assets of $173,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $86,000, and trading securities of $48,000. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company met its capital requirements through a combination of collection of receivables, the sale restricted common stock of $300,000, borrowing from a related party line of credit of $800,000, and through the use of existing cash reserves.

 

The Company has generated a net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $5,013,000. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had current assets of $231,000, which included cash and cash equivalents of $168,000, accounts receivable of $18,000 and trading securities of approximately $19,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company has met its capital requirements through a combination of collection of receivables, the sale of restricted common stock of $905,000, related party short-term advances of $55,000, borrowing from a related party line of credit of $200,000, convertible debt borrowing from third-party lenders of $400,000, and through the use of existing cash reserves.

 

On April 20, 2018. the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third-party lender for up to $475,000 (net of original issue discount of $25,000). The note is for 12 months with interest at 8% per annum on the unpaid principal amount. The note holder has the right, at any time on or after 181 calendar days after the date of the note, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s restricted common stock at $0.20 per share. On April 26, 2018 the Company borrowed $150,000 on this note.

On May 22, 2018, the Company signed a convertible promissory note with a third-party lender for up to $250,000 (net of original issue discount of $25,000). The note is for 8 months with a one-time interest charge of 8% on the issuance date outstanding balance. The note holder has the right, at any time on or after the issuance date, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and interest into the Company’s restricted common stock at $0.25 per share. On May 22, 2018 the Company borrowed $250,000 on this note.

 

As previously described, during the past two years we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of our game Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. During 2017, we signed an agreement with CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. Our Pocket Starships development team is already working on expansions of Pocket Starships to include the Star Trek IP, which we expect will be released during the second half of 2018. In Pocket Starships, players can build and pilot several ships and forge alliances on their quest for galactic domination. Players can perform or initiate various activities ranging from fighting pirates to participating in Faction Alerts. With the release of the expansion, those playing Pocket Starships will be able to explore new sectors and engage in exciting battles with the Borg and will be able to staff their ships with their favorite Star Trek characters from the Star Trek TV series franchise – including Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: Voyager , through a trading card expansion.

 

In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed of a new tapper game, Steven Universe: Tap Together, featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe , a popular animated television series on Cartoon Network. Steven Universe: Tap Together was launched globally on the Google Play Store on August 2, 2018 and on the IOS App Store on August 9, 2018.

 

The Company will continue to seek additional capital through the sale of its common stock, debt financing and through expansion of its existing and new products. If these goals do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs and that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Comparison of 2017 to 2016

 

Operating Activities - For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company used cash for operating activities of $4,118,000 and $3,929,000, respectively. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of our digital media publishing, advertising and gaming operations. Increases are due primarily to increases in rent, professional fees, and game development costs, partially mitigated by decreases in labor and other general and administrative expenses. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.

 

Investing Activities - During the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company paid $100,000 and is obligated to pay another $75,000 during 2018 for licensing rights to CBS Consumer Products that will allow the incorporation of intellectual property (IP) from various Star Trek television series into future Pocket Starships updates and expansions. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company received $783,000 in cash proceeds from sales of trading securities and used cash of $569,000 for the purchase of trading securities, property plant and equipment, and licensing rights.

 

Financing Activities - During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to an existing shareholder and former officer/employee for cash of $300,000. The common shares had a fair value of $510,000 at the date of sale, and as a result, the Company reflected an additional expense of $210,000 to account the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of common shares sold. T he Company also obtained a revolving line of credit from Berkshire Capital Management Co., Inc. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow up to $1,000,000 with interest at 6% per annum. Repayment on the loan is due February 28, 2019. During 2017 we borrowed $800,000 on this line of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to a service provider for $15,000.

During 2016 and 2017 we have invested in the Company’s future by working closely with the development team at Spectacle Games to optimize game play and expand the availability of Pocket Starships to more users through new and existing game portals, social networking sites and app stores throughout the world. In addition, working together with the development team at Reset Studios LLC, we have developed a new tapper game, Steven Universe: Tap Together, featuring characters and storylines from Steven Universe , a popular television series on Cartoon Network . Management’s plan for the next 12 months is to build upon this foundation and focus our efforts on marketing and optimizing user acquisition and retention. We will also continue to provide the monthly advances to Spectacle and Reset for further development, enhancement and maintenance of the existing games as needed to meet the needs of the users and maximize revenue into the future. In addition to our plans for Pocket Starships and Steven Universe: Tap Together, we will continue to seek additional games and apps to publish as we strive to broaden our range of products and increase revenues and operating cash flows. We expect these marketing, development and expansion plans will be financed through existing cash, operating cash flows from game revenues and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities.

 

Comparison of The Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 to 2017

 

Operating Activities - For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used cash in operating activities from continuing operations of $1,476,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used cash in operating activities of $2,111,000. Operating activities consist of corporate overhead and development of our digital media publishing, advertising and gaming operations. Decreases are due primarily to decreases in cash settled professional fees, game development costs, and other general and administrative expenses partially offset by increased in rent and cash settled labor and related costs. See the above results of operations discussion for more details.

 

Investing Activities – The Company did not have any investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company used cash of $50,000 for the purchase of software licensing rights.

 

Financing Activities - During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold 6,700,000 shares of restricted common stock to third parties and one related party for $905,000, borrowed $55,000 from a related party short-term advance, borrowed $200,000 from a related party line of credit, and borrowed $400,000 from convertible debt from third-party lenders. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company sold 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to a former officer/employee for $300,000.

 

The Company expects future development and expansion will be financed through cash flows from operations and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.

 

The Company currently does not have sufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our trading securities or through sales of our common stock. If our sales goals for our products do not materialize as planned, we believe that the Company can reduce its operating and product development costs that would allow us to maintain sufficient cash levels to continue operations. However, if we are not able to achieve profitable operations at some point in the future, we may have insufficient working capital to maintain our operations as we presently intend to conduct them or to fund our expansion, marketing, and product development plans. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

 

The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State, and Local laws governing its business. Each subsidiary is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of authorities in its State or municipality. These may include health, safety, and fire regulations. The Company's operations are also subject to Federal and State minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

We determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary SPYR APPS ® , LLC, d/b/a SPYR GAMES, we develop, publish and co-publish mobile games, and then generate revenue through those games by way of advertising and in-app purchases. The Company’s dedicated mobile gaming applications can be downloaded through the app stores maintained by Apple and Google. The Company’s cross platform gaming application, which can be played on personal computers, Facebook and mobile devices, can be downloaded from the internet and Facebook as well as through the app stores maintained by Apple, Google and Amazon.

 

We operate our games as live services that allow players to play for free. Within these games players can purchase virtual items to enhance their game-playing experience. Our identified performance obligation is to display the virtual items within the game. Payment is required at time of purchase and the purchase price is a fixed amount.

 

Players can purchase our virtual items through various widely accepted payment methods offered in the games, including Apple iTunes accounts, Google Play accounts, Facebook local currency payments, PayPal and credit cards. Payments from players for virtual items are non-refundable and relate to non-cancellable contracts that specify our obligations.

 

For revenue earned through app stores, players utilize the app store’s local currency-based payments program to purchase virtual items in our games. For all payment transactions on these app store platforms, the app store remits to us 70% of the price we request to be charged to the player for each transaction, which represents the transaction price. We recognize revenue net of the amounts retained by the app stores for platform and payment processing fees.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges

  35  

generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock option and warrant grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

The Company also issues restricted shares of its common stock for share-based compensation programs to employees and non-employees. The Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares to employees based upon the estimated fair value at the date of the grant and is recognized as expense over the period which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For non-employees, the Company measures the compensation cost with respect to restricted shares based upon the estimated fair value at measurement date which is either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

LOSS CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

Based solely upon a review of forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments thereto, furnished to the Company during or respecting its last fiscal year, no director, officer, beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Company or any other person known to be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for the last fiscal year.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Company's board of directors does not have an "audit committee financial expert," within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of: (i) understanding generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and financial statements; (ii) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements; (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that there is not any audit committee member who has obtained these attributes through the experience

  38  

specified in the SEC's definition of "audit committee financial expert." Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated "audit committee financial expert."

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except as limited by Nevada law. The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law each of its directors and officers against expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation.

 

Nevada law

 

Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Laws provides as follows: “78.751 Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; advance of expenses. 1. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the

  43  

fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful.”

 

“A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.”

 

“Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.”

 

“To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.”

 

“Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 5, must be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders: (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to act, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than the directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.”

 

“The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to subsection 2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 5, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his act or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise.

  44  

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5) Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii) Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Undertakings

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(5) Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(6) The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

  49  

 

(ii) Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, including, without limitation, the following: (a) the articles of incorporation of the Company; (b) the bylaws of the Company; and (c) the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, and the accuracy and completeness of the corporate records made available to us by the Company. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed below, with your permission we have relied solely upon, without independent verification or investigation of the accuracy or completeness thereof, any certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials, officers or other representatives of the Company and others. 

 

Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and when sold pursuant to the terms described in the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of Nevada, all applicable provisions of the statutory provisions thereof, reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, and federal securities laws. This opinion is limited to the laws in effect as of the date hereof and is provided exclusively in connection with the registration of the Shares and Resale Shares contemplated by the Registration Statement.

 

We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion letter, or if we become aware after the date of this opinion letter of any facts, whether existing before or arising after the date hereof, that might change the opinions expressed above.

Further, no portion of this letter may be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

SPYR, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 200,000

Date of Issuance: April 20, 2018 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the funding of the purchase price of $150,000.00 for the first tranche of $157,894.74 under the $500,000.00 convertible promissory note issued to the Holder (as defined below) on April 20, 2018 by the Company (as defined below) (the “Note”), FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from Spyr, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain securities purchase agreement dated April 20, 2018, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.375, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the three-year anniversary thereof.

 

1.        EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)        Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal

  1  

 

to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, 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 of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price and the Company does not have an effective non-stale registration statement covering the Holder’s immediate public resale of the Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A =       the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B =       Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b)        No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

  2  

 

(c)        Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.        ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)                    Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this

  3  

 

Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)                    Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)       any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)       the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

(c)        Anti-Dilution Adjustments due to Share Issuances . If the Warrant Share Percentage (as defined below) as calculated on the date which is the earlier of (i) 180 calendar days from the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date of the first Exercise Notice under this Warrant (the “Make-Whole Date”) is lower than the Warrant Share Percentage on the date of this Agreement (the “First Warrant Share Percentage”), then the number of Warrant Shares shall automatically increase, such that the Warrant Share Percentage on the Make-Whole Date shall equal the First Warrant Share Percentage. The Warrant Share Percentage shall mean the

  4  

 

quotient of 200,000 and the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on the respective date of calculation, multiplied by 100.

 

(d) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price After Event of Default . (b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, amend the terms of any security issued by the Company prior to the Issuance Date, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Note), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(d), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(d), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Section 2(d) shall only be utilized by the Holder on or after the date that an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note.

 

3.        FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then

  5  

 

the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

SPYR, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 200,000

Date of Issuance: April 20, 2018 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the funding of the purchase price of $150,000.00 for the first tranche of $157,894.74 under the $500,000.00 convertible promissory note issued to the Holder (as defined below) on April 20, 2018 by the Company (as defined below) (the “Note”), FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from Spyr, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain securities purchase agreement dated April 20, 2018, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the three-year anniversary thereof.

 

1.        EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)        Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal

1  
 

to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, 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 of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price and the Company does not have an effective non-stale registration statement covering the Holder’s immediate public resale of the Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A =       the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B =       Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b)        No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

2  
 

(c)        Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.        ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)                    Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this

3  
 

Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)                    Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)       any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)       the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

(c)        Anti-Dilution Adjustments due to Share Issuances . If the Warrant Share Percentage (as defined below) as calculated on the date which is the earlier of (i) 180 calendar days from the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date of the first Exercise Notice under this Warrant (the “Make-Whole Date”) is lower than the Warrant Share Percentage on the date of this Agreement (the “First Warrant Share Percentage”), then the number of Warrant Shares shall automatically increase, such that the Warrant Share Percentage on the Make-Whole Date shall equal the First Warrant Share Percentage. The Warrant Share Percentage shall mean the

4  
 

quotient of 200,000 and the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on the respective date of calculation, multiplied by 100.

 

(d) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price After Event of Default . (b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, amend the terms of any security issued by the Company prior to the Issuance Date, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Note), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(d), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(d), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Section 2(d) shall only be utilized by the Holder on or after the date that an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note.

 

3.        FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then

5  
 

the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

SPYR, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 100,000

Date of Issuance: April 20, 2018 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the funding of the purchase price of $150,000.00 for the first tranche of $157,894.74 under the $500,000.00 convertible promissory note issued to the Holder (as defined below) on April 20, 2018 by the Company (as defined below) (the “Note”), FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from Spyr, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain securities purchase agreement dated April 20, 2018, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.625, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the three-year anniversary thereof.

 

1.        EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)        Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal

  1  

 

to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, 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 of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price and the Company does not have an effective non-stale registration statement covering the Holder’s immediate public resale of the Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A =       the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B =       Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b)        No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

  2  

 

(c)        Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.        ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)                    Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this

  3  

 

Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)                    Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)       any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)       the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

(c)        Anti-Dilution Adjustments due to Share Issuances . If the Warrant Share Percentage (as defined below) as calculated on the date which is the earlier of (i) 180 calendar days from the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date of the first Exercise Notice under this Warrant (the “Make-Whole Date”) is lower than the Warrant Share Percentage on the date of this Agreement (the “First Warrant Share Percentage”), then the number of Warrant Shares shall automatically increase, such that the Warrant Share Percentage on the Make-Whole Date shall equal the First Warrant Share Percentage. The Warrant Share Percentage shall mean the

  4  

 

quotient of 200,000 and the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on the respective date of calculation, multiplied by 100.

 

(d) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price After Event of Default . (b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, amend the terms of any security issued by the Company prior to the Issuance Date, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Note), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(d), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(d), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Section 2(d) shall only be utilized by the Holder on or after the date that an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) occurs under the Note.

 

3.        FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then

  5  

 

the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

 

4.        NON-CIRCUMVENTION .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, five (5) times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are then exercisable into to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

5.        WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

SPYR, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 200,000

Date of Issuance: May 22, 2018 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the issuance of the $275,000.00 convertible note to the Holder (as defined below) of even date) (the “Note”), Collier Investments, LLC (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from SPYR, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with the Note.

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Note unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 12 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $2.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the five-year anniversary thereof.

 

1.        EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a)        Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise as

  1  

 

provided below, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, 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 of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If, at the time of exercise, the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price and (ii) there is no effective non-stale registration statement of the Company covering the Holder’s immediate resale of the Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices without any limitations, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A =       the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B =       Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b)        No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

(c)        Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or

  2  

 

any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.        ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)        Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)       any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the

  3  

 

Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)       the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

(b)        Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

 

3.        FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all

  4  

 

of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

 

4.        NON-CIRCUMVENTION . The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, five (5) times the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are then exercisable into to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

5.        WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(3)                CONVERSION OF NOTE . This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient of dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer agent fees, legal fees, costs and any other fees or costs that may be incurred or charged in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Holder arising out of or relating to the conversion of this Note.

(i)                  " Conversion Amount " means the portion of the Original Principal Amount and Interest to be converted, plus any penalties, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.

  3  

 

(ii)               " Conversion Price " shall equal the lesser of (i) $0.25 or (ii) 100% multiplied by the price per share paid by the investors in the next capital raising transaction consummated by the Company in the amount of $5,000,000.00 or more primarily from the sale of equity of the Company (the “Qualified Financing”), subject to adjustment as provided in this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.

(b)                Mechanics of Conversion .

(i)                  Optional Conversion . To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a " Conversion Date "), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Conversion Notice ") to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the " Share Delivery Date "), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's (" DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

(ii)               Company's Failure to Timely Convert . If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder via “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (a " Conversion Failure "), the Original Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by $2,000 per day until the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issuance Date). Company will not be subject to any penalties once its transfer agent processes the shares to the DWAC system. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).

(iii)             [Intentionally Omitted].

(iv)              [Intentionally Omitted].

(v)                [Intentionally Omitted].

(vi)              Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(c)    Limitations on Conversions or Trading .

(i)                  Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. In the event that the Market Capitalization of the Company falls below $2,500,000, the term “4.99%” above shall be permanently replaced with “9.99%”. “Market Capitalization” shall be defined as the product of (a) the closing price of the Common Stock of the Common stock multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported on the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q. The provisions of this Section may be waived by Holder upon not less than 65 days prior written notification to the Company.

(ii)               Capitalization. So long as this as this Note is outstanding, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish to the Holder the then-current number of common shares issued and outstanding, the then-current number of common shares authorized, and the then-current number of shares reserved for third parties.

(d)    Other Provisions .

  5  

 

(i)                  Share Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares equal to at least 3 (three) times the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note; and within 3 (three) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of shares of Common Stock is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement. The Company will at all times reserve at least 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock for conversion.

(ii)               Prepayment. At any time within the 90 day period immediately following the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the option, upon 10 business days’ notice to Holder, to pre-pay the entire remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash, provided that (i) the Company shall pay the Holder 120% of the Outstanding Balance, (ii) such amount must be paid in cash on the next business day following such 10 business day notice period, and (iii) the Holder may still convert this Note pursuant to the terms hereof at all times until such prepayment amount has been received in full. Except as set forth in this Section the Company may not prepay this Note in whole or in part.

(iii)             Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any security (or upon any amendment to any existing security) with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the Note. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.

(iv)              All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share.

(v)                Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company's failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder 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, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(vi)              Except as described in Schedule (3)(d)(vi), if the Company, at any time while this Note or any amounts due hereunder are outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or issues (or has sold or issued, as the case may be, or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity the right to acquire, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, upon conversion any convertible notes or warrants outstanding as of or following the Issuance Date), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or other securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than

  6  

 

the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, at the option of the Holder, to a price equal the Base Conversion Price.

(4)                Section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) Transaction . Except with respect to settlement of the pending Zakeni litigation, so long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not enter into any transaction or arrangement structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, either Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(9) Transaction”) or Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(10) Transaction”). In the event that the Company does enter into, or makes any issuance of Common Stock related to a 3(a)(9) Transaction or a 3(a)(10) Transaction while this note is outstanding, a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but not less than $25,000, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

(5)                PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS . The Company shall include on the next registration statement the Company files with SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) all shares issuable upon conversion of this Note. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, but not less than $25,000, being immediately due and payable to the Holder at its election in the form of cash payment or addition to the balance of this Note.

(6)                REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE .

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal.

(8)                APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE . This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts located in the city and county of San Diego, in the State of California. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(9)                WAIVER . Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.

(10)            LIQUIDATED DAMAGES . Holder and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Holder and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, default interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Holder's and Company's expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).

(11)            ADJUSTMENTS . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any references herein to share numbers or share prices shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

(12)            QUALIFIED FINANCING . If the Company fails to consummate a Qualified Financing on or before October 17, 2018 and the Note has not been satisfied in full on or before October 17, 2018, then a liquidated damages charge of $25,000.00 shall be immediately added to the balance of this Note.

(13)            Prohibition Variable Securities .  So long as the Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, without written consent of the Investor, issue any Variable Security (as defined herein). A Variable Security shall mean any security issued by the Company that (i) has or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the common stock; (ii) is or may become convertible into common stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock), with a conversion or exercise price that varies with the market price of the common stock, even if such security only becomes convertible or exercisable following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; or (iii) was issued or may be issued in the future in exchange for or in connection with any contract, security, or instrument, whether convertible or not, where the number of shares of common stock issued or to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the common stock, including, but not limited to, common stock issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange.

(14)            LEAK-OUT . Unless (i) an Event of Default occurs under the Note or (ii) the Company’s common stock closes at less than $0.20 per share at any time while the Note is outstanding, the Holder’s sales of the Company’s common stock underlying the Note and the Commitment Shares (as defined in the securities purchase agreement entered into with respect to the Note) , per trading day, shall be limited to the greater of (i) 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock or (ii) 15% of the daily

  9  

 

traded volume of the Company’s common stock (based on the weekly cumulated traded volume of the Company’s common stock).

(15)            HOLDER’S TRADING ACTIVITY .

A. Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to carry out its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement, and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

B. The Purchased Shares have been duly authorized and, when conveyed by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Purchased Shares are free and clear of any and all mortgages, deeds of trust, encumbrances, adverse claims, actual or threatened litigation, and security interests;

 

C. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor any other documents required to be executed and delivered by Seller regarding this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated this Agreement conflicts with or constitutes any violation or breach, or gives any other person any rights (including, but not limited to, any legal rights to acceleration, termination, cancellation or recession) under any document or agreement Seller is a party to. Neither Seller’s entry into this Agreement, nor Seller’s representations made in this Agreement, constitute a violation of any order or applicable law that Seller is subject to.

remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of private companies and companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s investment in the Purchased Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in Purchased Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.

 

G. Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares for its own account, for long term investment, and not with a view towards a public distribution of those Purchased Shares as an Underwriter for Seller. Purchaser acknowledges that it is not acquiring the Purchased Shares as the result of any advertisement or solicitation, including any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase from Seller regarding Purchaser’s investment pursuant to this Agreement.

(i)                  delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice, (which delivery may be made by electronic means);

 

(ii)               if such exercise represents the final exercise hereof, surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction); and

 

(iii)             payment (if the exercise is not a cashless exercise contemplated by the other provisions of this Section 3) to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b)(i).

 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price . Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being exercised) shall be made, at the option of the Holder, by the following methods:

 

(i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or,

 

(ii) in the event the Warrant Shares are not registered in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act on the Exercise Date, by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant for the number of shares being exercised in exchange for the issuance of the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

 

(c) No Limitation on Sales of Warrant Shares . Any other provision of this Warrant or any other agreement between the Company and the Holder to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder’s sale of Warrant Shares (i) shall not be subject to any provision limiting the sale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder on any given day or over any given period of time and (ii) shall not count towards any other gating or other limitation which may otherwise be applicable to sales of any other shares held or acquired by the Holder.

 

(d) Delivery of Stock Certificates .

 

(i)       Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, and, if the exercise is not a cashless exercise, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and the Company shall execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Trading Days thereafter (such fifth Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) (i) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,) or, (ii) subject to the provisions of the following sentence, if requested by the Holder, issue and deliver such shares to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”).

If all of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are not satisfied, the transfer agent shall deliver physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares to the Holder. The stock certificate or certificates (or DWAC shares) so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, such other Person's name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

  6  

 

(ii)       The Issuer understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As such, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant via DWAC or physical certificate, as the case may be, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.

 

(iii)       In addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights available to the Holder, if at any time that there shall be a Trading Market for the Common Stock, the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the relevant Delivery Date, and if after such date 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 Issuer shall (1) 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 Issuer 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, and (2) 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 Issuer 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 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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 Issuer.

 

(e) Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee, Rule 144 legal fees or other incidental tax or expense solely in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Holder Taxes (as defined below). The term “Holder Tax” means a tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any tax based on the net taxable income of the Holder as a result of any transaction relating to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

 

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes . With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

  7

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

  8  

 

The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of its counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer; (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and has become effective under the Securities Act; (iii) the Issuer has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required (in which event, the Issuer shall provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions); (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in which event, the Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions) or (v) in the event of a cashless exercise . For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Securities issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date these Warrants were originally issued.

 

(h) Holder Representations. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account 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 exempted under the Securities Act. The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

(i) Registration; Listing .

 

(i) Reference is made to the Registration Rights Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(ii) If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any

  9  

 

Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If, and for so long as, the Common Stock of the Issuer is listed on any securities exchange or market, the Issuer will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

 

(j) Reservation of Shares . During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(k) Exercise and Duration of Warrants . These Warrants shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period. At 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado Time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of these Warrants not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

 

(l) Company’s Right to Demand Exercise or Cancellation .

 

(i)       The Company’s right to issue an Exercise Demand (as defined below), subject to the following provisions, shall apply only on or after the Earliest Exercise Date.

 

(ii)       In the event that, during each of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the last of such consecutive Trading Days, the “Trigger Date” ) each of all of the following conditions has been satisfied,

 

(x) the Company’s Common Stock trades on the Trading Market at a closing price for each such Trading Day that equals or exceeds 150% the Exercise Price then in effect for this Warrant;

 

(y) the trading volume on the Trading Market for each such Trading Day is at least 75,000 shares (such number to be adjusted for any stock splits and similar capital adjustments effected after the Original Issue Date); and

 

(z) the Warrant Shares are subject to an effective Registration Statement for each such Trading Day; provided, however, that, as of the date of the Holder’s receipt of the

  10  

 

Exercise Demand (as defined below), the last day of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement is at least 90 days after the date of the Holder’s receipt of the Exercise Demand,

 

the Company shall have the right to provide written notice (the “ Exercise Demand ”) to Holder, which Exercise Notice may be given no later than 5 PM, New York Time on the date which is the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Trigger Date as of which all such conditions have been satisfied, accelerating the Expiration Date to a specified date (the “Early Expiration Date” ), which date shall be no earlier than the date which is fifteen (15) Trading Days after the date of the Holder’s receipt of the Exercise Demand; provided, however, if the Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares is not effective at any time from the Trigger Date through and including the end of the Early Expiration Date, the Exercise Demand shall be deemed automatically withdrawn and canceled and the Expiration Date shall remain the Scheduled Expiration Date, as in effect prior to and without regard to the Exercise Demand.

 

(iii)       After receiving a duly issued Exercise Demand, Holder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms at any time up to end of the Early Expiration Date, but any outstanding and unexercised portion of this Warrant at the end of the Early Expiration Date shall automatically lapse and be deemed cancelled, forfeited, waived, voided and of no further force or effect.

 

4.        Registration of Warrants . The Company shall register these Warrants upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose ( “Warrant Register” ), in the name of the record Holder from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of these Warrants as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

5.        Registration of Transfers . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of these Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of these Warrants, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in this Warrant Agreement. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate representing the right to purchase Warrant Shares in substantially the form of this Warrant Agreement (a “New Warrant Certificate” ), evidencing the portion of these Warrants so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of these Warrants not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant Certificate by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

 

6.        Replacement of Warrant; Partial Exercise .

 

(i)       If this Warrant Agreement is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant Agreement, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a

  11  

 

New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant Certificate is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant Agreement, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant Agreement to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

(ii)       With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares exercised as of each date of exercise.

 

(iii)       The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised.

 

7.        Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the exercise of this Warrant for the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares, which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

8.        Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time, excepting Excluded Issuances, as set forth in this Section 8.

(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale .

 

(i)       In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do a Fundamental Transaction (the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, a “Triggering Event” ), proper provision shall be made to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Exercise Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if the Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a stockholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 8. Upon the

  12  

 

Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of Warrant Shares, cash or property and the adjusted Exercise Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section).

 

(ii)       In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

 

(b) Stock Dividends. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, the Company shall reserve for Holder the appropriate number of shares in the event the Holder exercises the Warrants in the future.

 

(c) Subdivisions and Combinations . If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

 

(d) Certain Other Distributions . If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of cash, property, evidences of indebtedness or securities of any

  13  

 

nature whatsoever (other than Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, securities or property so distributable, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(e) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).

 

(e) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of these Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(g) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (as applicable). Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

 

9.        Limitations on Exercise .

 

(a) Except as specified in Section 9(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of these Warrants (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent

  14  

 

necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement: (i) no term of this Section 9 may be waived by any party, nor may any term of this Section 9 be amended such that the threshold percentage of ownership as set forth above would be directly or indirectly increased; (ii) this restriction runs with these Warrants and may not be modified or waived by any subsequent Holder hereof; and (iii) any attempted waiver, modification or amendment of this Section 9 will be void ab initio .

 

(b) The provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to any or more of the following periods: (i) while there is an outstanding tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) after the Holder has received a duly issued Exercise Demand for the Warrant Shares of this Warrant, but not after such Exercise Demand has been withdrawn or canceled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(l)(ii), or (iii) at any time which is thirty (30) days or less before the Expiration Date.

 

10.        Notices . All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the [third] day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

(i)                  delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice, (which delivery may be made by electronic means);

 

(ii)               if such exercise represents the final exercise hereof, surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction); and

 

(iii)             payment (if the exercise is not a cashless exercise contemplated by the other provisions of this Section 3) to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b)(i).

 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price . Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being exercised) shall be made, at the option of the Holder, by the following methods:

 

(i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or,

 

(ii) in the event the Warrant Shares are not registered in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act on the Exercise Date, by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant for the number of shares being exercised in exchange for the issuance of the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

 

X = [Y(A - B)] ÷ A

Where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a).
A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

 

(c) No Limitation on Sales of Warrant Shares . Any other provision of this Warrant or any other agreement between the Company and the Holder to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder’s sale of Warrant Shares (i) shall not be subject to any provision limiting the sale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder on any given day or over any given period of time and (ii) shall not count towards any other gating or other limitation which may otherwise be applicable to sales of any other shares held or acquired by the Holder.

 

(d) Delivery of Stock Certificates .

 

(i)       Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, and, if the exercise is not a cashless exercise, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and the Company shall execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Trading Days thereafter (such fifth Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) (i) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,) or, (ii) subject to the provisions of the following sentence, if requested by the Holder, issue and deliver such shares to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing sentence to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if (a) such shares may be issued without restrictive legends and (b) the Issuer and the transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. If all of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are not satisfied, the transfer agent shall deliver physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares to the Holder. The stock certificate or certificates (or DWAC shares) so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, such other Person's name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

  6  

 

(ii)       The Issuer understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As such, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant via DWAC or physical certificate, as the case may be, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.

 

(iii)       In addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights available to the Holder, if at any time that there shall be a Trading Market for the Common Stock, the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the relevant Delivery Date, and if after such date 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 Issuer shall (1) 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 Issuer 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, and (2) 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 Issuer 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 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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 Issuer.

 

(e) Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee, Rule 144 legal fees or other incidental tax or expense solely in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Holder Taxes (as defined below). The term “Holder Tax” means a tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any tax based on the net taxable income of the Holder as a result of any transaction relating to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

 

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes . With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

  7  

 

(i) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(ii) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

 

(iii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

 

(iv) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

 

(v) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes (other than Holder Taxes) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

(g) Compliance with Securities Laws .

This Warrant and, except with respect to certificates issued in connection with a cashless exercise of this Warrant, all certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

  8  

 

The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of its counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer; (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and has become effective under the Securities Act; (iii) the Issuer has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required (in which event, the Issuer shall provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions); (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in which event, the Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions) or (v) in the event of a cashless exercise . For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Securities issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date these Warrants were originally issued.

 

(h) Holder Representations. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account 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 exempted under the Securities Act. The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

If, and for so long as, the Common Stock of the Issuer is listed on any securities exchange or market, the Issuer will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(iii)       After receiving a duly issued Exercise Demand, Holder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms at any time up to end of the Early Expiration Date, but any outstanding and unexercised portion of this Warrant at the end of the Early Expiration Date shall automatically lapse and be deemed cancelled, forfeited, waived, voided and of no further force or effect.

 

4.        Registration of Warrants . The Company shall register these Warrants upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose ( “Warrant Register” ), in the name of the record Holder from time to time.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of these Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of these Warrants, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in this Warrant Agreement. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate representing the right to purchase Warrant Shares in substantially the form of this Warrant Agreement (a “New Warrant Certificate” ), evidencing the portion of these Warrants so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of these Warrants not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.

6.        Replacement of Warrant; Partial Exercise .

 

(i)       If this Warrant Agreement is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant Agreement, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.

  11  

 

New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(i)       In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do a Fundamental Transaction (the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, a “Triggering Event” ), proper provision shall be made to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Exercise Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if the Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a stockholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 8. Upon the

  12  

 

Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of Warrant Shares, cash or property and the adjusted Exercise Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section).

 

(ii)       In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

 

(b) Stock Dividends. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, the Company shall reserve for Holder the appropriate number of shares in the event the Holder exercises the Warrants in the future.

 

(c) Subdivisions and Combinations . If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

 

(d) Certain Other Distributions . If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of cash, property, evidences of indebtedness or securities of any

  13  

 

nature whatsoever (other than Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, securities or property so distributable, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(e) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).

 

(e) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of these Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(g) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (as applicable). Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

  14  

 

necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) The provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to any or more of the following periods: (i) while there is an outstanding tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) after the Holder has received a duly issued Exercise Demand for the Warrant Shares of this Warrant, but not after such Exercise Demand has been withdrawn or canceled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(l)(ii), or (iii) at any time which is thirty (30) days or less before the Expiration Date.

(a) Exercise Procedure . This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

 

(i)                  delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice, (which delivery may be made by electronic means);

 

(ii)               if such exercise represents the final exercise hereof, surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction); and

 

(iii)             payment (if the exercise is not a cashless exercise contemplated by the other provisions of this Section 3) to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b)(i).

 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price . Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being exercised) shall be made, at the option of the Holder, by the following methods:

 

(i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or,

 

(ii) in the event the Warrant Shares are not registered in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act on the Exercise Date, by instructing the Company to issue Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all or any part of this Warrant on a net basis such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant for the number of shares being exercised in exchange for the issuance of the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

 

X = [Y(A - B)] ÷ A

  5  

 

Where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a).
A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

 

(c) No Limitation on Sales of Warrant Shares . Any other provision of this Warrant or any other agreement between the Company and the Holder to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder’s sale of Warrant Shares (i) shall not be subject to any provision limiting the sale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder on any given day or over any given period of time and (ii) shall not count towards any other gating or other limitation which may otherwise be applicable to sales of any other shares held or acquired by the Holder.

 

(d) Delivery of Stock Certificates .

 

(i)       Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, and, if the exercise is not a cashless exercise, payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise, and the Company shall execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Trading Days thereafter (such fifth Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) (i) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise,) or, (ii) subject to the provisions of the following sentence, if requested by the Holder, issue and deliver such shares to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing sentence to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if (a) such shares may be issued without restrictive legends and (b) the Issuer and the transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. If all of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are not satisfied, the transfer agent shall deliver physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares to the Holder. The stock certificate or certificates (or DWAC shares) so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, such other Person's name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

  6  

 

(ii)       The Issuer understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As such, if the Issuer fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder any Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant via DWAC or physical certificate, as the case may be, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered.

 

(iii)       In addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights available to the Holder, if at any time that there shall be a Trading Market for the Common Stock, the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the relevant Delivery Date, and if after such date 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 Issuer shall (1) 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 Issuer 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, and (2) 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 Issuer 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 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer 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 Issuer.

 

(e) Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee, Rule 144 legal fees or other incidental tax or expense solely in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any Holder Taxes (as defined below). The term “Holder Tax” means a tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any tax based on the net taxable income of the Holder as a result of any transaction relating to the Warrants or the Warrant Shares.

 

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes . With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

  7  

 

(i) This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(ii) All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

 

(iii) The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

 

(iv) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

 

(v) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes (other than Holder Taxes) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

(g) Compliance with Securities Laws .

This Warrant and, except with respect to certificates issued in connection with a cashless exercise of this Warrant, all certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

  8  

 

The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of its counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer; (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Issuer with the SEC and has become effective under the Securities Act; (iii) the Issuer has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required (in which event, the Issuer shall provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions); (iv) the Holder provides the Issuer with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in which event, the Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, provide its transfer agent with any required legal opinions) or (v) in the event of a cashless exercise . For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Securities issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date these Warrants were originally issued.

 

(h) Holder Representations. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account 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 exempted under the Securities Act. The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

(i) Registration; Listing .

 

(i) Reference is made to the Registration Rights Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(ii) If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any

  9  

 

Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If, and for so long as, the Common Stock of the Issuer is listed on any securities exchange or market, the Issuer will, at its expense, list thereon, maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder, and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

 

(j) Reservation of Shares . During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(k) Exercise and Duration of Warrants . These Warrants shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period. At 5:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado Time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of these Warrants not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

 

(l) Company’s Right to Demand Exercise or Cancellation .

 

(i)       The Company’s right to issue an Exercise Demand (as defined below), subject to the following provisions, shall apply only on or after the Earliest Exercise Date.

 

(ii)       In the event that, during each of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the last of such consecutive Trading Days, the “Trigger Date” ) each of all of the following conditions has been satisfied,

 

(x) the Company’s Common Stock trades on the Trading Market at a closing price for each such Trading Day that equals or exceeds 150% the Exercise Price then in effect for this Warrant;

 

(y) the trading volume on the Trading Market for each such Trading Day is at least 75,000 shares (such number to be adjusted for any stock splits and similar capital adjustments effected after the Original Issue Date); and

 

(z) the Warrant Shares are subject to an effective Registration Statement for each such Trading Day; provided, however, that, as of the date of the Holder’s receipt of the

  10  

 

Exercise Demand (as defined below), the last day of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement is at least 90 days after the date of the Holder’s receipt of the Exercise Demand,

 

the Company shall have the right to provide written notice (the “ Exercise Demand ”) to Holder, which Exercise Notice may be given no later than 5 PM, New York Time on the date which is the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Trigger Date as of which all such conditions have been satisfied, accelerating the Expiration Date to a specified date (the “Early Expiration Date” ), which date shall be no earlier than the date which is fifteen (15) Trading Days after the date of the Holder’s receipt of the Exercise Demand; provided, however, if the Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares is not effective at any time from the Trigger Date through and including the end of the Early Expiration Date, the Exercise Demand shall be deemed automatically withdrawn and canceled and the Expiration Date shall remain the Scheduled Expiration Date, as in effect prior to and without regard to the Exercise Demand.

 

(iii)       After receiving a duly issued Exercise Demand, Holder may exercise this Warrant in accordance with its terms at any time up to end of the Early Expiration Date, but any outstanding and unexercised portion of this Warrant at the end of the Early Expiration Date shall automatically lapse and be deemed cancelled, forfeited, waived, voided and of no further force or effect.

 

4.        Registration of Warrants . The Company shall register these Warrants upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose ( “Warrant Register” ), in the name of the record Holder from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of these Warrants as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

5.        Registration of Transfers . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of these Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of these Warrants, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in this Warrant Agreement. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate representing the right to purchase Warrant Shares in substantially the form of this Warrant Agreement (a “New Warrant Certificate” ), evidencing the portion of these Warrants so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining portion of these Warrants not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant Certificate by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

 

6.        Replacement of Warrant; Partial Exercise .

 

(i)       If this Warrant Agreement is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant Agreement, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a

  11  

 

New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant Certificate is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant Agreement, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant Agreement to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

(ii)       With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares exercised as of each date of exercise.

 

(iii)       The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised.

 

7.        Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the exercise of this Warrant for the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares, which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

8.        Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time, excepting Excluded Issuances, as set forth in this Section 8.

(a) Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale .

 

(i)       In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do a Fundamental Transaction (the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, a “Triggering Event” ), proper provision shall be made to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Exercise Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if the Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a stockholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 8. Upon the

  12  

 

Holder’s request, the continuing or surviving corporation as a result of such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the right to purchase the adjusted amount of Warrant Shares, cash or property and the adjusted Exercise Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section).

 

(ii)       In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and the surviving entity and/or each such Person shall have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for the surviving entity and/or each such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the securities, cash or property which the surviving entity and/or each such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

 

(b) Stock Dividends. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, the Company shall reserve for Holder the appropriate number of shares in the event the Holder exercises the Warrants in the future.

 

(c) Subdivisions and Combinations . If at any time the Issuer shall: (i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

 

(d) Certain Other Distributions . If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of cash, property, evidences of indebtedness or securities of any

  13  

 

nature whatsoever (other than Common Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, securities or property so distributable, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4(e) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4(b).

 

(e) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of these Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(g) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 8, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (as applicable). Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.

 

9.        Limitations on Exercise .

 

(a) Except as specified in Section 9(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of these Warrants (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent

  14  

 

necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant Agreement: (i) no term of this Section 9 may be waived by any party, nor may any term of this Section 9 be amended such that the threshold percentage of ownership as set forth above would be directly or indirectly increased; (ii) this restriction runs with these Warrants and may not be modified or waived by any subsequent Holder hereof; and (iii) any attempted waiver, modification or amendment of this Section 9 will be void ab initio .

 

(b) The provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to any or more of the following periods: (i) while there is an outstanding tender offer for any or all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) after the Holder has received a duly issued Exercise Demand for the Warrant Shares of this Warrant, but not after such Exercise Demand has been withdrawn or canceled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(l)(ii), or (iii) at any time which is thirty (30) days or less before the Expiration Date.

 

10.        Notices . All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the [third] day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10).

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

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) The failure of any of the parties hereto to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any way effect the validity of this Warrant or any provision hereof or the right of any of the parties hereto to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Warrant. No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment of any of the provisions of this Warrant shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought; and no waiver of any such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment shall be construed or deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment.

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

 

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

 

(g) Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
