Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 11, 2021, Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) entered into an Employment Agreement with Duane Drinkwine, Ph.D., effective February 1, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Dr. Drinkwine agreed to serve as the Chief Science Officer of the Company, a non-executive position. The Employment Agreement has a term of one year, automatically renewable thereafter for additional one-year periods unless terminated by either party no less than 60 days prior to such automatic renewal dates. We agreed to pay Dr. Drinkwine $125,000 per year in cash, which amount may be increased from time-to-time in the discretion of the management of the Company, including on an annual basis, and that Dr. Drinkwine would be eligible for stock or cash bonuses (including stock options), in the discretion of the management of the Company, from time to time. As additional consideration under the agreement, we agreed that Dr. Drinkwine could earn up to 2,000,000 shares of a to-be designated series of preferred stock of the Company, which would have an agreed upon value of $0.80 per share, and convert into common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, at any time, beginning two years after the effective date of the Employment Agreement. A total of 500,000 shares of the new preferred stock will be due on the six-month anniversary of the effective date, and 500,000 shares of new preferred stock will be due thereafter on each anniversary date of the effective date (until a total of 2 million shares are issued), subject to Dr. Drinkwine’s continued service to the Company. However, if Dr. Drinkwine’s employment is terminated for cause prior to the second anniversary of the agreement, all shares previously earned are forfeited. Any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the new preferred stock shares are subject to a trading restriction, which prohibits Dr. Drinkwine from trading such shares until January 1, 2023, and from not trading more than 5% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock from January 2, 2023 to October 31, 2025, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Company also agreed to provide Dr. Drinkwine the use of an apartment and a vehicle. The agreement includes customary assignment of inventions, non-solicitation and non-compete language, prohibiting Dr. Drinkwine from competing against the Company or soliciting employees until the later of the second anniversary of the termination date of his employment and the third anniversary of the date of the Employment Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. In the event Dr. Drinkwine’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for death, disability, non-renewal, with cause, or by Dr. Drinkwine for good reason, Dr. Drinkwine is due 12 months of severance pay, payable in equal monthly installments, subject to Dr. Drinkwine providing a general release to the Company.

 

The description of the Employment Agreement and Trading Agreement above is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such Employment Agreement and Trading Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

 

 

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On January 22, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of restricted common stock to an accredited investor, pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with the investor, in a private offering, at a purchase price of $0.40 per share (raising $500,000 in aggregate). The investor was also granted warrants to purchase the same number of shares purchased, with an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The warrants are exercisable for cash, or on a cashless basis, if the shares underlying the warrants haven’t been registered with the SEC, at any time prior to January 22, 2022 (the “warrants”). The warrants include a 4.99% ownership blocker, preventing the exercise of any specific warrant by the holder thereof, if upon such exercise the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock, which percentage may be increased on a holder-by-holder basis, to up to 9.99%, with 61 days prior written notice from each holder. In total, the Company granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock to the investor described above, and if exercised in full, the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof would total 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The investor also entered into a trading agreement with the Company, whereby it agrees to not sell the shares held by such investor for a period of time after the sales, subject in certain cases, to volume limitations and certain other exemptions.

The sales described above were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing sales did not involve a public offering, the recipients took the securities for investment and not resale, we took take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipients were “accredited investors”. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

On January 11, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, discussed above in Item 1.01, the Company agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of a to-be designated series of preferred stock to Dr. Drinkwine, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, which will be issuable to Dr. Drinkwine under certain circumstances. If earned in full and converted in full, such preferred stock would be convertible into 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Such preferred stock has not been designated by the Company to date, and the designation of, and final terms of, such preferred stock, will be disclosed on a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K filing.

 

The offer of the preferred stock was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing offer did not involve a public offering, the recipient will take the securities for investment and not resale, we will take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipient was (a) an “accredited investor”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Act. The securities will be subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT $0.40 PER SHARE

Name of Subscriber: ______________________ or ________________________

Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.

5580 Peterson Lane, Suite 200

Dallas, Texas 75240

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1.  Subscription.  I (sometimes referred to herein as the “Investor”) hereby subscribe for and agree to purchase the Securities (as defined below) set forth on the signature page hereto of Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), on the terms and conditions described herein and in Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”). Terms not defined herein are as defined in the Offering Documents. There is no minimum offering. The maximum offering is $1,500,000.  

2.  Description of Securities; Risk Factors.  

a.Description of Securities.  The Company is offering (the “Offering”) to the Investor shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock” or “Securities”) at a purchase price of $0.40 per share. 

b.Warrants: Non-cash Warrants. For additional consideration the Investor is entitled to purchase an addition 1 times the number of shares purchased under 2a. above at a price of $1.00. Such purchase must be made within 180 days of the Company’s 3-day average VWAP above $1.00. Otherwise such warrants are void. The warrants are not cashless and are subject to Rule 144 provisions. 

c.Warrants: Cash-less Warrants. See Separate Agreement, subject to Trading Agreement dated December 22, 2020. These cash-less warrants are under separate form and expressly subject to a mandatory Trading Agreement 

d.Risks Related to the Investment in the Securities.  Investing in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing, Investors should carefully consider the following risks, together with the other information contained in Offering Documents. 

i.No Minimum Subscription Agreement; No Escrow Arrangement.  Under the terms of this Subscription Agreement, there is no minimum subscription amount to be raised by the Company in this private placement and, upon the Company’s acceptance of the Subscriber’s offer to subscribe for the Securities, the subscription proceeds shall immediately become a part of the working capital of the Company and  


Page 1

RTSL Subscription Agreement, $1.5 Million

Updated 2020 10 22


shall be allocated in the accordance with the Company management’s discretion. Further, the Subscription Agreement does not contemplate any escrow arrangement whereby the subscription proceeds are kept until and unless a certain event triggering the termination of the escrow fund occurs. Absence of such arrangements could result in less protection for the potential investors in the Company.

ii.Discretion in Application of Net Proceeds.  The Company’s management has the sole discretion to determine the application of the net proceeds of this offering.  A substantial portion will be applied to working capital of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds.   

iii.No Voting Power by Prospective Investors.  The Company’s directors and officers own or control an aggregate of 140,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents a super-majority of the shares outstanding and are, and in the foreseeable future will continue to be, in a position to elect a majority of its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors establishes corporate policies and has the sole authority to nominate and elect the company’s officers to carry out those policies. Prospective investors therefore will have no participation in the Company’s affairs. As a result of the current capital structure of the Company, a prospective investor shall not obtain voting control over major corporate decisions and actions. 

iv.Absence of Cash Dividends and No Cash Dividends Anticipated.  The future payment by the Company of cash dividends on its common stock, if any, rests within the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon the Company’s earnings, its capital requirements and its financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The Company does not anticipate making any cash distributions upon its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. 

v.The Company Will Likely Make Future Offerings of Its Securities.  The Company reserves the right to make future offers and sales, either public or private, of its securities including shares of preferred stock, Common Stock or securities convertible into its common stock at prices differing from the offering price of the Common Stock offered hereby. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete any such future offerings; however, in the event that any such future sales of securities are affected, the Investor’s pro rata ownership interest in the Company will be reduced to the extent of any such issuances and, to the extent any such sales are effected at consideration which is less than that paid by the Investor, the Investor may experience dilution. 

vi.New Business Strategy. The Company recently announced it was adopting a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM and nHāler MDI technology that the Company sublicensed from TMDI, an entity affiliated with the Company’s new director and CEO, Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., with

prospective healthcare providers, pharmacies and other parties in the states of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada. Simultaneously, the Company announced it would be exiting from its previous operations in the bitcoin mining business, which has been suspended since the middle of 2018. Due to the change in strategy, the Company’s prior SEC filings will not fully describe the Company’s planned operations and future plans.

3.  Purchase.

a.I hereby tender to the Company a check or wire transfer (information to be provided to me on my request) made payable to “Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.” for such number of shares of Common Stock indicated on the signature page hereto, an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and an executed copy of my Investor Questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto.

c.This subscription can be rejected at the sole decision of the Company prior to issuance of any stock to the Investor. 

5.  Closing. The closing (“Closing”) of this offering may occur any time and from time to time before the Termination Date.  There is no minimum offering.  The Securities subscribed for herein shall not be deemed issued to or owned by me until one copy of this Subscription Agreement has been executed by me and countersigned by the Company and the Closing with respect to such Securities has occurred.

RTSL Subscription Agreement, $1.5 Million

Updated 2020 10 22


Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Securities are being sold without registration under the Securities Act. I acknowledge receipt of the Offering Documents and represent that I have carefully reviewed and understand the Offering Documents, including its exhibit. I have received all information and materials regarding the Company that I have requested. I fully understand that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that the Securities are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of the loss of my entire investment. I fully understand the nature of the risks involved in purchasing the Securities and I am qualified by my knowledge and experience to evaluate investments of this type. I have carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and purchase of its Securities and have reviewed each of the risks set forth in the Offering Documents. Both my advisors and I have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company or persons acting on its behalf concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of a proposed investment in the Company and my advisors and I have also had the opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished about the Company. Finally, I have carefully reviewed all of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, understanding that the Company has recently modified its business strategy. Accordingly, I have independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Securities.

7.  Investor Representations and Warranties.  I acknowledge, represent, and warrant to, and agree with, the Company as follows:

a.I am aware that my investment involves a high degree of risk as disclosed in the Offering Documents and have read carefully the Offering Documents and the Company’s SEC filings, and I understand that by signing this Subscription Agreement I am agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Offering Documents. 

b.I acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as to the future performance of the Company. 

c.I acknowledge that there may be certain adverse tax consequences to me in connection with my purchase of Securities, and the Company has advised me to seek the advice of experts in such areas prior to making this investment. 

d.I am purchasing the Securities for my own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Securities,, nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the foregoing securities.  I agree that I must bear the entire economic risk of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of certain states or an exemption from such registration is available. I hereby authorize the Company to place a legend denoting the restrictions on the Securities that are issued to me. 

e.I recognize that the Securities, as an investment, involve a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the risk of economic losses from operations of the Company and the total loss of my investment. I believe that the investment in the Securities is suitable for me based upon my investment objectives and financial needs, and I have adequate means for providing for my current financial needs and contingencies and have no need for liquidity with respect to my investment in the Company. 

f.I have been given access to full and complete information regarding the  


Page 4

RTSL Subscription Agreement, $1.5 Million

Updated 2020 10 22


Company and have utilized such access to my satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information in addition to, or verifying information included in, the Offering Documents, and I have either met with or been given reasonable opportunity to meet with officers of the Company for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, such officers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business and operations of the Company and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available.

g.I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and have obtained, in my judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.  I have not utilized any person as my purchaser representative as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with evaluating such merits and risks. 

h.I have relied solely upon my own investigation in making a decision to invest in the Company.  

i.I have received no representation or warranty from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in respect of my investment in the Company and I have received no information (written or otherwise) from them relating to the Company or its business other than as set forth in the Offering Documents. I am not participating in the offer as a result of or subsequent to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. 

j.I have had full opportunity to ask questions and to receive satisfactory answers concerning the offering and other matters pertaining to my investment and all such questions have been answered to my full satisfaction. 

k.I have been provided an opportunity to obtain any additional information concerning the offering and the Company and all other information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense. 

l.I am an “accredited investor” as defined in Section 2(15) of the Securities Act and in Rule 501 promulgated thereunder and have attached the completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire to indicate my “accredited investor” category. I can bear the entire economic risk of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time and I am knowledgeable about and experienced in investments in the equity securities of non-publicly traded companies, including early stage companies.  I am not acting as an underwriter or a conduit for sale to the public or to others of unregistered securities, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Company or any person with respect to such securities. 

m.I understand that (1) the Securities and the underlying securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states in reliance on specific exemptions from registration, (2) no securities administrator of any state or the federal government has recommended or endorsed this offering or made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an  


Page 5

RTSL Subscription Agreement, $1.5 Million

Updated 2020 10 22


investment in the Company and (3) the Company is relying on my representations and agreements for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements of the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act and certain state securities laws.

n.I understand that since neither the offer nor sale of the Securities has been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, the Securities may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless they are so registered or an exemption from such registration is available. 

o.I have been urged to seek independent advice from my professional advisors relating to the suitability of an investment in the Company in view of my overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such investment. 

p.If the Investor is a corporation, company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to become an Investor in the Company and the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so. 

q.The information contained in my Investor Questionnaire, as well as any information which I have furnished to the Company with respect to my financial position and business experience, is correct and complete as of the date of this Subscription Agreement and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the Closing of the offering, I will furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company. I hereby acknowledge and am aware that except for any rescission rights that may be provided under applicable laws, I am not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription and any agreements made in connection herewith shall survive my death or disability. 

r.The Investor acknowledges that (i) the Offering Documents contains material, non-public information concerning the Company within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC, and (ii) the Investor is obtaining such material, non-public information solely for the purpose of considering whether to purchase the Securities pursuant to a private placement that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.  In accordance with Regulation FD and other applicable provisions of the federal securities laws, the Investor agrees to keep such information confidential and not to disclose it to any other person or entity except the Investor’s legal counsel, other advisors and other representatives who have agreed (i) to keep such information confidential, (ii) to use such information only for the purpose set forth above, and (iii) to comply with applicable securities laws with respect to such information.  In addition, the Investor further acknowledges that the Investor and such legal counsel, other advisors and other representatives are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities while in possession of material, non-public information and agrees to refrain from purchasing or selling securities of the Company until such material, non-public information has been publicly disseminated by the Company. 

8.  Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, and counsel against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal or other expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by each such person in connection with defending or investigating any such claims or

liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to such person, to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by me and contained in this Subscription Agreement or my Investor Questionnaire, or (b) arise out of or are based upon any breach by me of any representation, warranty, or agreement made by me contained herein or therein.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

RAPID THERAPEUTIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 500,000

Initial Exercise Date: January 1, 2021

 

 

 

Issue Date:  December 22, 2020

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Exempt Management, LLC or its 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 January 1, 2021 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the 1st year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 500,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Subscription Agreement $0.40 per Share (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 22, 2020, among the Company and the purchaser’s signatory thereto.

 

Section 2.  Exercise.

 

a)  Exercise of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased


1


all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. 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.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof, but not more.

 

b)  Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.85, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)  Cashless Exercise.  If at any time after the twelve month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day, limited to immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares.  The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c) except to the extent modified by the mandatory accompanying Trading Agreement attached hereto.

 

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCBB, OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCBB, OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCBB, OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share


2


of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d)  Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i.  Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.  Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”).   Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise 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 Warrant Shares; provided payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise) is received within three Trading Days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

ii.  Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii.  Rescission Rights.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

v.  Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder


3


or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

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

 

e)  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, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after 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, such other Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), 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, its Affiliates and Attribution Parties 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, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted 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 or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, 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 Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates or Attribution Parties) 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 or Attribution Parties) 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.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), 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 the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall


4


within two Trading Days confirm orally or in writing 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 or Attribution Parties 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.  The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), 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 Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

f)  Limitation on Warrant Shares Issued. Regardless of the calculation of VWAP price under Section 2 c) above, all issuances of Common Warrant Shares under this Warrant shall be limited to 500,000 common shares. In other words, the Holder will not receive additional shares above 500,000 common shares even if the calculation under Section 2 c) above results in a value of shares in excess of 500,000 common shares.

 

g)  Any exercise of such Warrants shall be subject to a mandatory Trading Agreement between the Company and the Holder. The Trading Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C and must be executed concurrently with the issuance of this warrant.

 

h)  Exercise of Warrants shall be done in compliance with Exhibit A.

 

Section 3.  Certain Adjustments.

 

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 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 3(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.


5


 

b)  [RESERVED]

 

c)  Subsequent Rights Offerings.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)  Pro Rata Distributions.  During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, 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, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e)  Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of


6


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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  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.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f)  Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of


7


shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g)  Notice to Holder.

 

i.  Adjustment to Exercise Price.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

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


10


 

 

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

 

e)  Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f)  Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g)  Nonwaiver and Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h)  Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

i)  Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j)  Remedies.  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k)  Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l)  Amendment.  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.


11


m)  Severability.  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.

6.  Inspection of Records. On the first day of each calendar month during the Trading Period, all Shareholders shall produce their prior month’s trading records for inspection by the Company, for all brokerage accounts. Failure to timely produce such trading records shall be a violation of this Agreement and the Company may thereafter, in its sole discretion, cause the transfer agent to suspend further transfers and/or may seek injunctive relief to stop sales of any shares held in a trading account by the applicable Shareholder who has not complied with the terms of this Section 6.

invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

7.2.  Entire Agreement of the Parties. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties regarding the matters contemplated herein, or related thereto, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, and understandings of the parties in connection therewith.

7.4.  Specific Performance. The parties agree that the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof would cause irreparable injury in an amount which would be impossible to estimate or determine and for which any remedy at law would be inadequate.  As such, the parties agree that if either party fails or refuses to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the other party shall have the remedy of specific performance, which remedy shall be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies otherwise available under any other contract or at law or in equity and to which such party might be entitled. The Shareholder therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the terms and conditions hereof by the Shareholder, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Any judicial proceeding brought by or any party regarding any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any matter related hereto may be brought in the courts of the State of Texas, or in the United States District Court for the State of Texas and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereby submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.
