Creation of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

           On February 18, 2015, True Drinks Holdings, Inc. (the “ Company ”) filed the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Certificate of Designation ”) with the Nevada Secretary of State, designating 50,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series C Preferred ”). A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1. Each share of Series C Preferred has a stated value of $100 per share (the “ Stated Value ”), and is convertible, at the option of each respective holder, into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), equal to the Stated Value, divided by $0.15 per share (the “ Conversion Shares ”).   The Certificate of Designation also gives the Company the option to require the conversion of the Series C Preferred into Conversion Shares in the event: (i) there are sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock reserved as Conversion Shares; (ii) the Conversion Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or the Conversion Shares are freely tradable, without restriction, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; and (iii) the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

Series C Offering

           On February 20, 2015 (the “ Initial Investment Date ”), the Company and certain accredited investors (the “ Investors ”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, a form of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), wherein the Investors agreed to purchase up to 43,000 shares of Series C Preferred for $100 per share (the “ Shares ”) in three separate closings (the “ Series C Offering ”). The Company issued an aggregate total of 18,000 Shares on the Initial Investment Date, and anticipates issuing 15,000 Shares on or before April 1, 2015 and the remaining 10,000 Shares on or before June 30, 2015. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the appointment of one member, designated by the Investors, to the Company’s Board of Directors.

           As additional consideration for the purchase of Shares in the Series C Offering, each Investor will receive five-year warrants, in the form attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 (the “ Warrants ”), exercisable for $0.15 per share, to purchase that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to 35% of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of each Investor’s Shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”).

           In addition to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, in the form attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3 (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before July 1, 2015 in order to register the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares, under the Securities Act.
 
           The issuance of the Shares on the Initial Investment Date resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.8 million, and the Company expects to receive an aggregate total of $4.3 million in gross proceeds upon completion of the Series C Offering. The Company expects to use these proceeds for general working capital purposes. 

           The Shares and Warrants were offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Each of the Investors represented that it was an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D, and that no Investor is subject to the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d). 

 
 

 

Item 3.03
Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

Amendment to Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation
 
     On February 18, 2015, the Company filed the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Series B Amendment ”) with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to: (i) eliminate certain provisions pertaining to the adjustment of the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“ Series B Preferred ”) and (ii) eliminate the protective provision preventing the Company from issuing securities senior to or pari passu in rank to the Series B Preferred without first receiving approval from holders of 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred.

     The Series B Amendment was approved by the written consent of stockholders holding approximately 79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred. A copy of the Series B Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2.

Withdrawal of Series A Preferred

     On February 18, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Withdrawal with the Nevada Secretary of State to withdraw its previous designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Certificate of Withdrawal ”). A copy of the Certificate of Withdrawal is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.3.

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     On February 18, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) approved an increase to the size of the Board from four seats to five. On February 20, 2015, in connection with the Company’s execution of the Purchase Agreement, Neil LeVecke was appointed to serve on the Board, and the Company and Mr. LeVecke entered into an indemnity agreement, a form of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4.

     Mr. LeVecke is the President of LeVecke Corporation, a wholesale distributor and bottler of spirits and wine products.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION,
PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
of
SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
of
TRUE DRINKS HOLDINGS, INC.

Pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
 
True Drinks Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), in accordance with the provisions of Sections 78.195 and 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“ NRS ”), does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of the Company by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, the following resolution creating a series of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, was duly adopted on February 17, 2015.
 
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board, in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock of the Company be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof are as follows:
 
1.     Designation and Amount.
 
The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock,” $0.001 par value per share (the “ Preferred Stock ”), and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 50,000. Each share of Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $100.00 (the “ Stated Value ”).
 
2.     Dividends on Shares of Common Stock .
 
If the Board declares a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) or any other Junior Stock (as defined below) (except for a dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock), such dividend will be declared and paid on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock, prior and in preference to any dividends declared and paid on the Common Stock or other Junior Stock, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the dividend to which such share of Preferred Stock would have been entitled had such share been converted into shares of Common Stock (regardless whether a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock were authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect such conversion), pursuant to the provisions hereof as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock or other Junior Stock entitled to receive such dividend (or if there is no such record date, on the date of payment of such dividend). Such dividends will be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board and will be noncumulative.
 
 
 

 
 
3.     Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up .
 
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “ Liquidation ”), the holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock (the “ Holders ”) then outstanding will be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any Senior Stock (as defined), but before any payment may be made to the holders of shares of any Junior Stock (as defined), because of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (the “ Preferred Liquidation Preference ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Liquidation, a Holder will receive the amount, if such amount is greater than the amount set forth in the preceding sentence, that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately before a Liquidation (regardless of whether a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock were authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect such conversion). If upon a Liquidation, the Company’s remaining assets available for distribution to its stockholders are insufficient to pay the Holders the full amount of the Preferred Liquidation Preference, the Holders and holders of any Parity Stock will share ratably in any distribution of the Company’s remaining assets and funds in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. After the Holders have been paid the Preferred Liquidation Preference in full in cash, any remaining assets will be distributed pro rata among each holder of Junior Stock in accordance with the terms thereof.  Unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, for the purposes of this Section 3, a Liquidation shall be deemed to include (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, sale of all or substantially all of the shares of then outstanding capital stock, consolidation or other form of reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its subsidiary, but excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation), unless the Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions will (by virtue of their pre-transaction holdings in the Company and any additional securities received by them as part of the transaction in exchange of such pre-transaction holdings), immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity or (ii) a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
 
Senior Stock ” means, collectively, any class or series of stock of the Company ranking on Liquidation and with respect to the payment of dividends prior and in preference to the Preferred Stock.
 
Junior Stock ” means, collectively, Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock of the Company ranking on Liquidation and with respect to the payment of dividends junior and subordinate to the Preferred Stock, Senior Stock and Parity Stock.  Any other class or series of preferred stock of the Company authorized, designated or issued after this date, except as expressly set forth and provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for authorization, designation or issuance of shares of any such other class or series of preferred stock of the Company (subject to Section 9 ), shall be “ Junior Stock .”
 
Parity Stock ” means, collectively, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Series B Preferred Stock ”), or any other class or series of stock ranking on Liquidation and with respect to payment of dividends on a parity with the Preferred Stock.
 
4.   Dividends and Distributions.
 
The Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Junior Stock, (ii) on parity with the Parity Stock, and (iii) junior to the Senior Stock, with respect to dividends. The Holders shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Company) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
 
 
 

 
 
5.     Voting .
 
Except to the extent specifically provided herein or required by applicable law, the Holders and the holders of Common Stock will vote together on all matters as to which the approval of the stockholders may be required.  The Holders will vote on an as-converted basis, and with respect to such vote, will have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock. Fractional votes will not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder could be converted) will be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
 
6.     Conversion .
 
The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the following:
 
(a)     Optional Conversion by the Holder .  The Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Holder at any time following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twenty (20) calendar day period set forth in Rule 14c-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“ Exchange Act ”), such period commencing on the distribution to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Regulation 14C promulgated under the Exchange Act of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and (ii) such time as there are sufficient authorized but unissued shares (which have not otherwise been reserved or committed for issuance) to permit the conversion of all the shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)     Optional Conversion by the Company .  The Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Company if, at any time, (i) the Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) under the Exchange Act; (ii) there are sufficient authorized but unissued shares (which have not otherwise been reserved or committed for issuance) to permit the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “ Conversion Shares ”); (iii) the Conversion Shares are either (A) covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act ”), which is then available for the immediate resale of the Conversion Shares being issued by the recipients thereof, and the Board of Directors believes that such effectiveness will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future, or (B) freely tradable without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements, as determined by the counsel to the Company as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders; and (iv) the arithmetic average of the closing sale price of the Common Stock is at least $0.62 for ten (10) consecutive trading days.
 
(c)     Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock.  In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 6(g)(iv) below) of a share of Common Stock at the time of such conversion.
 
 
 

 

(d)     Mechanics of Conversion .
 
(i)     Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 , each share of Preferred Stock shall be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price (as defined) in effect at the time of conversion.  The conversion price (as adjusted pursuant hereto, the “ Conversion Price ”) will initially be $0.15.  Upon such conversion, the Holder shall promptly, after notice of such conversion has been provided to such Holder or public disclosure thereof has been made pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K or press release, if such shares are held in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock at the office of the transfer agent (or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves as its own transfer agent). Such surrender may be made by registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, by hand or overnight courier.  If required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion, if applicable, will be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The date on which the conditions to conversion set forth in Section 6(a) or, if later and to the extent applicable, of receipt of such certificates by the transfer agent or the Company, as the case may be, will be the conversion date (“ Conversion Date ”).  The Company will, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, subject to the book-entry provisions set forth below, issue and deliver to such Holder, or to such Holder’s nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock, provided the transfer agent for the Common Stock is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (including its successors and assigns, the “ Depository ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall, if in compliance with applicable securities laws and in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures with respect to “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent to electronically transmit the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The Company agrees to coordinate with the Depository to accomplish this objective. Such conversion of the Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been made immediately before the close of business on the Conversion Date, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion will be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
 
(ii)     All shares of Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares will immediately cease and terminate on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange therefor and accrued, but unpaid dividends.  Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted will be deemed canceled and will not thereafter be issuable by the Company as shares of Preferred Stock, but will return to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of no designated series.
 
(e)     Adjustment for Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations .  If, after the date on which the first share of the Series C Preferred Stock was issued (the “ Original Issue Date ”), the Company fixes a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or rights (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the shares of Preferred Stock will be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series will be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such rights, with the number of shares issuable with respect to the rights determined from time to time as such number may be adjusted.  If, after the Original Issue Date, the Company combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination will be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Preferred Stock will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.  Any adjustments under this paragraph will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
 
 

 

(f)     Adjustment for Reorganization, Reclassification or Exchange . If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock is changed into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the Company or another entity, whether by capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(e), or resulting in a Mandatory Redemption under Section 7) then and in each such event the Holders will have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or other change that holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock would have been converted immediately before such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or change would have received, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
(g)     Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 6 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated on or about February 18, 2015, by and between the Company and the Purchasers party thereto (the “ Purchase Agreement ”)) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) without consideration or for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price; provided that if such Dilutive Issuance was without consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.001 of consideration for all such additional shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued.  No adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.  For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and consideration per share under this Section 6(g)), the following shall be applicable:
 
(i)     Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (as defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities (as defined below) issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, but excluding any Excluded Securities, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 6(g)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
 
(A)     Options ” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
 
(B)     Convertible Securities ” means any capital stock, convertible debenture or other security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than Options) that is, or may become, at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire shares of Common Stock.
 
 
 

 
 
(ii)     Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, but excluding any Excluded Securities, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 6(g)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6(g)(ii), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(iii)     Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 6(g)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Original Issue Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
 
(iv)     Calculation of Consideration Received . If (i) any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, and (ii) all such Options or Convertible Securities (as applicable) so issued or sold are, or may become, exercisable and/or convertible for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds (as applicable) either (1) if Common Stock was the primary security issued or sold in such transaction, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold in such transaction or (2) if an Option or Convertible Security was the primary security issued or sold in such transaction, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so deemed issued or sold in such transaction that underlie all Options or Convertible Securities that constituted the primary securities in such transaction, then (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the fair market value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the fair market value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of such security for each of the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) trading days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
(v)     Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
 
(h)            Certain Adjustments.   The applicable Conversion Price will not be reduced if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.001, but any such amount will be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, will aggregate $0.001 or more.

(i)            No Impairment . The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the conversion rights of the Holders against impairment.
 
(j)     Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and will file a copy of such certificate with its corporate records. The Company will, upon the written request at any time of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (1) such adjustments and readjustments, (2) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (3) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock. Despite such adjustment or readjustment, the form of each or all Preferred Stock certificates, if the same will reflect the initial or any subsequent Conversion Price, need not be changed for the adjustments or readjustments to be valued under the provisions of this Certificate of Designation, which will control.

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors wishes to amend and restate the Certificate of Designations in its entirety pursuant to Section 78.2055 of the Nevada Revised Statutes;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that the Board of Directors does hereby amend and restate the Certificate of Designations and does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of Preferred Stock as follows:

2.     Dividend Rights .
 
(a)       Holders of Preferred Stock (the “ Holders ”) shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock at the rate of 5.00% of the Stated Value per annum, payable in arrears commencing on March 31, 2014 (the “ First Payment Date ”) and payable quarterly in arrears on each June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 thereafter, except if such date is not a trading day, in which case such dividend shall be payable on the next succeeding trading day (each, a “ Dividend Payment Date ”); provided, howeve r, in the event the the Company elects to pay the cumulative dividends on the First Payment Date in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“ Common Stock ”), as provided in Section 2(b) below (“ Dividend Shares ”), and such Dividend Shares are not covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), the First Payment Date shall be deemed to be June 30, 2014, and the cumulative dividends required to be paid on the date thereof shall cover the period beginning on the Original Issue Date through June 30, 2014. Dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock (i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, (ii) shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date of the applicable shares of Preferred Stock until the date when such shares are no longer outstanding, and (iii) shall be deemed to accrue with respect to such shares from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends.  All dividends payable on each share of Preferred Stock shall be paid in preference and priority to the payment of any dividends on any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s Common Stock.
 
 
 

 

(b)     Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Section 2 , the Company may pay dividends required pursuant to Section 2(a)  at each Dividend Payment Date to any Holder (i) in shares of Common Stock or (ii) in cash or (iii) in some combination of Common Stock and cash, provided that each Holder shall receive the same combination of Common Stock and cash as all other Holders on any Dividend Payment Date. The Company must deliver written notice (the “ Dividend Notice ”) to the Holders indicating the manner in which the Company intends to pay dividends to the Holders at least 20 trading days prior to each Dividend Payment Date.  Failure to timely provide such written notice shall be deemed an election by the Company to pay the dividend in cash.  For purposes of determining the dividends payable to each Holder on each Dividend Payment Date, the Company shall aggregate all shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder, in each case with fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 
(c)     With respect to dividends other than Conversion Dividends (as defined herein), in the event that the Company elects to pay dividends in shares of Common Stock, and is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 2(d)  hereunder, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to each applicable Holder as such dividend shall be (i) determined by dividing the total dividend then being paid to such Holder in shares of Common Stock by the Price Per Share (as defined below) as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, and rounding up to the nearest whole share, and (ii) paid to such Holder in accordance with Section 6(d)  below.  As used herein, “ Price Per Share ” means, with respect to a share of Common Stock, (a) if such Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, the 20 consecutive trading day average of the daily average of the high and low sale prices per share of the Common Stock on such national securities exchange in the United States immediately preceding the relevant date, as published by the Wall Street Journal or other reliable publication, (b) if a public market exists for such shares of Common Stock but such shares are not listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, the 20 consecutive trading day average of the daily mean between the closing bid and asked quotations in the over-the-counter market for a share of such Common Stock in the United States immediately preceding the relevant date, or (c) if such Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange and not traded in the over-the-counter market, the price per share of Common Stock determined in good faith by the Board in consultation with the Holders.
 
(d)     Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company shall not have the right to pay any dividends hereunder in Dividend Shares unless at the time of issuance of such Dividend Shares (i) the Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) and (ii) the Dividend Shares being issued are either (A) covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), which is then available for the immediate resale of the Dividend Shares being issued by the recipients thereof, and the Board of Directors believes that such effectiveness will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future, or (B) freely tradable without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements, as determined by the counsel to the Company as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders.
 
(e)     If the Board declares a dividend on the outstanding shares of Common Stock (except for a dividend resulting in an adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined under Section 6(g) ) payable in cash or Common Stock, or other securities or rights convertible into or entitling the holders thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, such dividend will be declared and paid on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock, prior and in preference to any dividends declared and paid on the Common Stock, in the form and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the dividend to which such share of Preferred Stock would have been entitled had such share been converted into shares of Common Stock (regardless whether a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock were authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect such conversion), pursuant to the provisions hereof as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend (or if there is no such record date, on the date of payment of such dividend).  Such dividends shall be paid in addition to the dividends described in Section 2(a)  above and will otherwise be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board.
 
 
 

 
 
3.     Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up .
 
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “ Liquidation ”), the Holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any Senior Stock (as defined), but before any payment may be made to the holders of shares of any Junior Stock (as defined), because of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (the “ Preferred Liquidation Preference ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Liquidation, a Holder will receive the amount, if such amount is greater than the amount set forth in the preceding sentence, that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately before a Liquidation (regardless of whether a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock were authorized under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect such conversion). If upon a Liquidation, the Company’s remaining assets available for distribution to its stockholders are insufficient to pay the Holders the full amount of the Preferred Liquidation Preference, the Holders and holders of any Parity Stock will share ratably in any distribution of the Company’s remaining assets and funds in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. After the Holders have been paid the Preferred Liquidation Preference in full in cash, any remaining assets will be distributed pro rata among each holder of Junior Stock in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
Senior Stock ” means, collectively, any class or series of stock of the Company ranking on Liquidation and with respect to the payment of dividends prior and in preference to the Preferred Stock.
 
Junior Stock ” means, collectively, Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock of the Company ranking on Liquidation and with respect to the payment of dividends junior and subordinate to the Preferred Stock, Senior Stock and Parity Stock.  Any other class or series of preferred stock of the Company authorized, designated or issued after this date, except as expressly set forth and provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for authorization, designation or issuance of shares of any such other class or series of preferred stock of the Company (subject to Section 10 ), shall be “ Junior Stock .”
 
Parity Stock ” means any class or series of stock ranking on Liquidation and with respect to payment of dividends on a parity with the Preferred Stock.
 
4.     Dividends and Distributions.
 
The Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Junior Stock, (ii) on parity with the Parity Stock, and (iii) junior to the Senior Stock, with respect to dividends. The Holders shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Company) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
 
5.     Voting .
 
Except to the extent specifically provided herein or required by applicable law, the Holders and the holders of Common Stock will vote together on all matters as to which the approval of the stockholders may be required.  The Holders will vote on an as-converted basis, and with respect to such vote, will have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock; provided, however , no Holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis to the extent that such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) would control in excess of 9.99% of the voting power of the Company (but may vote that number of shares of Preferred Stock that, together with all other shares of voting securities held by such Holder, equal less than 9.99% of the voting power of the Company, excluding all others).  Fractional votes will not be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder could be converted) will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 
 
 

 
 
6.     Conversion.
 
(a)     Optional Conversion by the Holder .  The Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Holder at any time following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twenty (20) calendar day period set forth in Rule 14c-2(b) under the Exchange Act, such period commencing on the distribution to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Regulation 14C promulgated under the Exchange Act of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and (ii) such time as there are sufficient authorized but unissued shares (which have not otherwise been reserved or committed for issuance) to permit the conversion of all the shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)     Optional Conversion by the Company .  The Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the option of the Company if, at any time, (i) the Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) under the Exchange Act; (ii) there are sufficient authorized but unissued shares (which have not otherwise been reserved or committed for issuance) to permit the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “ Conversion Shares ”); (iii) the Conversion Shares are either (A) covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which is then available for the immediate resale of the Conversion Shares being issued by the recipients thereof, and the Board of Directors believes that such effectiveness will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future, or (B) freely tradable without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements, as determined by the counsel to the Company as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders; (iv) the total dollar value of the Company’s Common Stock, calculated by multiplying (y) the daily trading volume for the Common Stock on its principal trading market by (z) the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Stock on its principal trading market, equals at least $250,000 for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days; and (v) the arithmetic average of the closing sale price of the Common Stock is at least $0.62 for ten (10) consecutive trading days.
 
(c)     Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock.  In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Price Per Share (as defined) of a share of Common Stock at the time of such conversion.
 
(d)     Mechanics of Conversion .
 
(i)     Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 , each share of Preferred Stock shall be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price (as defined) in effect at the time of conversion.  The conversion price (as adjusted pursuant hereto, the “ Conversion Price ”) will initially be $0.25.  In addition, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in Section 2(d) , the Company shall pay each Holder of Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to either Sections 6(a)  or  6(b) above the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Preferred Stock (the “ Conversion Dividends ”) held by such Holder and being converted through the Conversion Date (as defined below), (i) in shares of Common Stock or (ii) in cash or (iii) in some combination of Common Stock and cash, provided that each Holder shall receive the same proportion of Common Stock and cash as all other Holders on any Conversion Date.  The number of shares of Common Stock paid in satisfaction of any Conversion Dividends shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Dividends that are so being paid by the Conversion Price.  Upon a conversion, the Holder shall promptly, after notice of such conversion has been provided to such Holder or public disclosure thereof has been made pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K or press release, if such shares are held in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock at the office of the transfer agent (or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves as its own transfer agent). Such surrender may be made by registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, by hand or overnight courier.  If required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion, if applicable, will be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The date on which the Company (a) is notified of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a) or (y) elects to convert pursuant to Section 6(b) will be the conversion date (“ Conversion Date ”).

 
 

 
 
(A)     Upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock, (i) if the DTC Transfer Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three business days) cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit all Conversion Shares and/or Dividend Shares by crediting the account of such Holder or its nominee with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system; or (ii) if the DTC Transfer Conditions are not satisfied, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three business days) issue and deliver, or instruct its transfer agent to issue and deliver, certificates, registered in the name of such the Holder or its nominee, physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares and/or Dividend Shares, as applicable.  Even if the DTC Transfer Conditions are satisfied, any person effecting a conversion of Preferred Stock or receiving Dividend Shares may instruct the Company to deliver to such person or its nominee physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares and/or Dividend Shares, as applicable, in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.  “ DTC Transfer Conditions ” means that (A) the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program and (B) the certificates for the Conversion Shares and/or Dividend Shares required to be delivered do not bear a legend and recipient is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon.
 
(B)     The Company warrants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 6(d) , and stop transfer instructions in the case of the transfer of the Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares prior to registration of the Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares under the Securities Act or without an exemption therefrom, shall be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided herein.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Holders’ obligations to resell the Conversion Shares or the Dividend Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities law.
 
(C)     If any Holder provides the Company and the transfer agent with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that the Conversion Shares or the Dividend Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, or any Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (which shall not be required to include an opinion of counsel), the Company shall permit the transfer and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Dividend Shares, promptly (and in any event within three business days) instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holders.
 
(D)     If the Company fails to (i) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Holder by the time periods required in this Section 6  (each, a “ Required Delivery Date ”) a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or the Dividend Shares so delivered to the Company by such Holder that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (ii) credit the account of such Holder’s or such Holder’s nominee with DTC by the Required Delivery Date for such number of Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares so delivered to the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day after the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered or credited (as the case may be) to such Holder or such Holder’s nominee multiplied by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails to so properly deliver such unlegended certificates or so properly credit the balance account of such Holder’s or such Holder’s nominee with DTC by the Required Delivery Date, and if on or after the Required Delivery Date such Holder (or any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, that such Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) trading days after such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates or credit such Holder’s DTC account representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares (as the case may be) that the Company was required to deliver to such Holder by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing price of the Common Stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Holder to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).
 
 
 

 
 
(e)     The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purposes of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, until such date as such shares of Common Stock are available and reserved for issuance upon such conversion, the Company will not issue, sell, or deliver (whether through the issuance or granting of Rights (as defined herein)), any shares of Common Stock or any shares having, among other characteristics, the economic rights thereof, until it has reserved sufficient shares of Common Stock for issuance upon such conversion as otherwise contemplated by this Section 6 .  As used herein, “ Rights ” means all rights issued by the Company to acquire Common Stock directly or indirectly by exercise of a warrant, option or similar call or conversion of any instruments.
 
(f)     All shares of Preferred Stock which have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares will immediately cease and terminate on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive the Conversion Shares, cash in lieu of fractional shares in exchange therefor and accrued, but unpaid dividends.  Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted will be deemed canceled and will not thereafter be issuable by the Company as shares of Preferred Stock, but will return to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of no designated series.
 
(g)     Adjustment for Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations .  If, after the Original Issue Date, the Company fixes a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or Rights without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or Rights (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the shares of Preferred Stock will be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series will be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Rights, with the number of shares issuable with respect to the Rights determined from time to time as such number may be adjusted.  If, after the Original Issue Date, the Company combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination will be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Preferred Stock will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.  Any adjustments under this paragraph will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(h)     Adjustment for Reorganization, Reclassification or Exchange . If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock is changed into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the Company or another entity, whether by capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(g) , or resulting in a Mandatory Redemption under Section 8 ) then and in each such event the Holders will have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or other change that holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock would have been converted immediately before such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, or change would have received, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
(i)     [REMOVED]
 
(j)     [REMOVED]
 
 
 

 
 
(k)     No Impairment . The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 6  and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the conversion rights of the Holders against impairment.
 
(l)     Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based and will file a copy of such certificate with its corporate records. The Company will, upon the written request at any time of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (1) such adjustments and readjustments, (2) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (3) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which then would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock. Despite such adjustment or readjustment, the form of each or all Preferred Stock certificates, if the same will reflect the initial or any subsequent Conversion Price, need not be changed for the adjustments or readjustments to be valued under the provisions of this Certificate of Designation, which will control.
 
7.     Beneficial Ownership .
 
The Company shall not permit the conversion of a Holder’s Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Holder’s Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unconverted portion of the Holder’s Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  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 the most recent of (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business 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 such Holder’s Preferred Stock, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7  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.
 
8.     Redemption . Subject to compliance with this Section  8 , the Preferred Stock is redeemable as follows:
 
(a)     The Company will redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined).  In the case of such redemption (a “ Redemption ”), the Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock for cash for an amount equal to the Preferred Liquidation Preference (the “ Redemption Price ”).
 
 
 

 

(b)     Change of Control ” means the occurrence of any of the following events occurring after the Original Issue Date: (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company having the right to vote ordinarily on the election of directors (“ Voting Stock ”); (ii) the Company is merged with or into or consolidated with another person or entity and, immediately after giving effect to the merger or consolidation, (a) less than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting person or entity is then “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation or (b) any “person” or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving or resulting person or entity; or (iii) the Company, either individually or in conjunction with one or more of its subsidiaries, sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases, or otherwise disposes of, or one or more of its subsidiaries sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (either in one transaction or a series of related transactions), including capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries, to any person or entity (other than the Company or a wholly owned subsidiary).
 
(c)     Upon a Redemption, a notice of Redemption (“ Redemption Notice ”) will be delivered within 10 days by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders that will (i) set forth the proposed initial date for such Redemption, which date shall be no less than 30 and no more than 60 days from the date the Redemption Notice is delivered upon a Redemption (the “ Redemption Date ”), (ii) notify the Holders that the Preferred Stock is being called for Redemption, (iii) state the place or places at which such shares of Preferred Stock will, upon presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares, if applicable, be redeemed and the Redemption Price, and (iv) state the name and address of the Redemption Agent (as defined) selected. Upon receipt of the Redemption Notice and to receive the Redemption Price, a Holder shall cause to be delivered to the Company (a) the certificates, if any, representing the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed (or delivery of a customary affidavit of loss with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and (b) transfer instrument(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Company and sufficient to transfer such shares of Preferred Stock to the Company free of any adverse interest.
 
(d)     If a Redemption Notice is given in accordance with Section 8(c)  then each Holder is entitled to all preferences and relative and other rights accorded by this Certificate of Designation with respect to the Preferred Stock until and including the date before the Redemption Date.
 
(e)     If the Company fails to redeem the Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date, then in addition to all other remedies available to Holders, the Holders, shall have all rights available to them under this Certificate of Designation and, in preference to the Junior Stock, shall be entitled to receive quarterly cash cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% of the Preferred Liquidation Preference, per annum.
 
(f)     The Company may (i) act as the redemption agent or (ii) appoint as its agent, for the purpose of acting as the Company’ redemption agent, a bank or trust company in good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof and any replacement thereof or successors thereto. The Company or such appointed bank or trust company is hereinafter referred to as the “ Redemption Agent .” Following such appointment, if any, and before any Redemption, the Company will deliver to the Redemption Agent irrevocable written instructions authorizing the Redemption Agent, on behalf and at the expense of the Company, to cause a Redemption Notice to be duly delivered in accordance with Section 8(c) , as soon as practicable after receipt of such irrevocable instructions. All funds necessary for the Redemption will be deposited with the Redemption Agent, in trust, at least two business days before the Redemption Date, for the pro rata benefit of the Holders. Neither failure to deliver any such notice to one or more Holders nor any defect in any notice will affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for Redemption as to other Holders.
 
(g)     From and after the Redemption Date, subject to Section 8(e) , the shares of Preferred Stock called for Redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Holders will cease and terminate, except the right of the Holders, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor, if applicable, to receive the applicable Redemption Price. The deposit of monies in trust with the Redemption Agent by the Company will be irrevocable, except that the Company will be entitled to receive from the Redemption Agent the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any monies so deposited in trust, and the Holders of any shares of Preferred Stock redeemed will have no claim to such interest or other earnings. Any balance of monies so deposited by the Company and unclaimed by the Holders entitled thereto at the expiration of one year from the Redemption Date will be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Company, and after any such repayment, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock entitled to the funds so repaid to the Company will look only to the Company for payment of the Redemption Price, without interest.

(a)     permit the amendment, modification or repeal of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would adversely affect the Holders in any material respect, in either case whether by merger or otherwise (for the avoidance of doubt, any such amendments or modifications necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, or to change the name of the Company, or to effectuate a reverse stock split shall not be deemed to adversely affect the Holders in any material respect);

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.:                                             
Number of Shares of Common Stock: _____________
Date of Issuance: _________ __, 2015 (“ Issuance Date ”)

True Drinks Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [_________________], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (the “ Exercisability Date ”), but not after 11:59 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [______________ (_____________)] fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below)   (the “ Warrant Shares ”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14 .  This Warrant is one of the Series C Warrants to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of February 20, 2015 (the “ Subscription Date ”), by and between the Company and the Holder.  This Warrant is one of a series of warrants containing substantially identical terms and conditions issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “ Warrants ”).
 
 
 

 
 
1.     EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
 
(a)     Mechanics of Exercise .  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(e)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), by (i) 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 and (ii) if the Holder is not electing a Cashless Exercise (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1(d) of this Warrant, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds (a “ Cash Exercise ”) (the items under (i) and (ii) above, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”).  The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder; provided, however , that in the event that this Warrant is exercised in full or for the remaining unexercised portion hereof, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within a reasonable time after such exercise.  On or before the first Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Delivery Documents (the date upon which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the “ Exercise Date ”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile or e-mail transmission an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall, (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (the “ FAST Program ”) and so long as the certificates therefor are not required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the FAST Program or if the certificates are required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) 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 Trading Days after any such submission and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) 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 has been and/or is exercised.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes and other expenses of the Company (including overnight delivery charges) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an affiliate thereof.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
(b)     Exercise Price .  For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $0.15, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c)     Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities .  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Exercise Date a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder, or any third party on behalf of the Holder or for the Holder’s account, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s written request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
 
 
 

 

(d)     Cashless Exercise .  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “ Net Number ” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
 
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
               B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
 
 
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
 
 
B= the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
 
 
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

(e)     Rule 144 .  For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise 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 this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
(f)     Disputes .  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.
 
2.     ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES .  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)     Voluntary Adjustment By Company . The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(b)     Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock .  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(c)     Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement while this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price; provided, however, no adjustments to the Applicable Price shall be made as a result of the foregoing in the event the Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Holder is converted into Common Stock under the terms of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Preferred Stock; provided, further, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.  For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 2(c)), the following shall be applicable:
 
 
 

 
 
(1)     Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(c)(1), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
 
(2)     Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(c)(2), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(c), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(3)     Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(c)(3), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
 
 
 

 

(4)     Calculation of Consideration Received . If (i) any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, and (ii) all such Options or Convertible Securities (as applicable) so issued or sold are, or may become, exercisable and/or convertible for an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds (as applicable) either (1) if Common Stock was the primary security issued or sold in such transaction, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold in such transaction or (2) if an Option or Convertible Security was the primary security issued or sold in such transaction, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock so deemed issued or sold in such transaction that underlie all Options or Convertible Securities that constituted the primary securities in such transaction, then (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the fair market value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company minus (II) the fair market value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (a “ Valuation Event ”), the fair market value of such consideration shall be determined in accordance with Section 12.
 
(5)     Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(d)     Rule 415; Cutback   If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Purchaser to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Purchasers is an “underwriter”.  The Purchasers shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto.  No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Purchasers’ counsel reasonably objects.  In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “ Cut Back Shares ”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “ SEC Restrictions ”); provided, however , that the Company shall not agree to name any Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.  Any cut-back imposed on the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Purchasers on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any Warrant Shares, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Purchasers otherwise agree.  No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “ Restriction Termination Date ” of such Cut Back Shares).  From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however , that (i) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 60 th day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date.
 
(e)     Right to Piggyback Registration .
 
(i)     If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event less than thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a “ Piggyback Registration ”).  Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.
 
(ii)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Purchasers must sell their Registrable Securities to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section 2(b)) and subject to the Purchasers entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering, and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchasers and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration; provided, however , that nothing contained in this Section 2(e)(ii) shall limit the Company’s liabilities and/or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay liquidated damages under this Section 2.

(d)     Contribution .  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

The Company acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby, in addition to and separate from its obligations to Indemnitee under the Bylaws, to induce Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director of the Company.
 
3.             Indemnification .
 
(a)           Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings .  Subject to Section 11 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the NRS permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.
 
(b)           Indemnification in Derivative Actions and Direct Actions by the Company .  Subject to Section 11 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the NRS permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceedings.
 
4.             Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee, or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding.

 
 

 
 
5.             Partial Indemnification .  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a proceeding, but is precluded by applicable law or the specific terms of this Agreement to indemnification for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
 
6.             Contribution .  To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for other expenses, in connection with any proceeding, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

7.             Advancement of Expenses .  To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall advance  all expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) and upon request of the Company, an undertaking to repay the advancement of expenses if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  Advances shall be unsecured, interest free and without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses. Advances shall include any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee pursuing an action to enforce Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, or otherwise and this right of advancement, including expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed.  Indemnitee acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent required by law, repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.  With respect to any proceeding, the right to advances under this Section shall continue until final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therein.  This Section 7 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 11(b).
 
8.             Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures .
 
(a)           Notification of Proceeding .  Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of expenses covered hereunder.  The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
(b)           Request for Indemnification and Indemnification Payments .  Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon receiving notice of any demand, judgment or other requirement for payment that Indemnitee reasonably believes to be subject to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement, and shall request payment thereof by the Company.  The failure by the Indemnitee to timely notify the Company hereunder shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder other than to the extent the Company’s ability to participate in the defense of such claim was materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.  Indemnification payments requested by Indemnitee under Section 3 hereof shall be made by the Company no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.  Claims for advancement of expenses shall be made under the provisions of Section 7 herein.

 
 

 
 
(c)           Application for Enforcement .  In the event the Company fails to make timely payments as set forth in Sections 7 or 8(b) above, Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement.  In such an enforcement hearing or proceeding, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to prove that indemnification or advancement of expenses to Indemnitee is not required under this Agreement or permitted by applicable law.  Any determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent counsel) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, shall not be a defense by the Company to the action nor create any presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder.
 
(d)           Indemnification of Certain Expenses .  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses incurred in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 unless the Company prevails in such hearing or proceeding on the merits in all material respects.
 
9.             Assumption of Defense .  In the event the Company shall be requested by Indemnitee to pay the expenses of any proceeding, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, or to participate to the extent permissible in such proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee.  Upon assumption of the defense by the Company and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently directly incurred by Indemnitee with respect to Indemnitee’s defense of the same proceeding, provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such proceeding at Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Indemnitee’s counsel delivers a written notice to the Company stating that such counsel has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel or otherwise actively pursued the defense of such proceeding within a reasonable time, then in any such event the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel to defend such proceeding shall be subject to the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of this Agreement.
 
10.             Insurance . To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any subsidiary ( “D&O Insurance” ), Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
 
11.          Exceptions .
 
(a)           Certain Matters .  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to (i) remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it is determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law (and, in this respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication, as indicated in Section 11(d) below); (ii) a final judgment rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company against Indemnitee or in connection with a settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee to the extent it is acknowledged by Indemnitee and the Company that such amount paid in settlement resulted from Indemnitee’s conduct from which Indemnitee received monetary personal profit, pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or other provisions of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) a final judgment or other final adjudication that Indemnitee’s conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific determination); or (iv) on account of conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a final judgment or other adjudication may be reached in either the underlying proceeding or action in connection with which indemnification is sought or a separate proceeding or action to establish rights and liabilities under this Agreement.

 
 

 
 
(b)           Claims Initiated by Indemnitee .  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or under any other agreement, provision in the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, or (ii) with respect to any other proceeding initiated by Indemnitee that is either approved by the Board of Directors or Indemnitee’s participation is required by applicable law.  However, indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors determines it to be appropriate.
 
(c)           Unauthorized Settlements .  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent.  Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however , that the Company may in any event decline to consent to (or to otherwise admit or agree to any liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of) any proposed settlement if the Company is also a party in such proceeding and determines in good faith that such settlement is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
 
(d)           Securities Act Liabilities .  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee or otherwise act in violation of any undertaking appearing in and required by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  “Act” ) or, for so long as the Company remains a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act, or in any registration statement filed with the SEC under the Act.  Indemnitee acknowledges that paragraph (h) of Item 512 of Regulation S-K currently generally requires the Company to undertake in connection with any registration statement filed under the Act to submit the issue of the enforceability of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement in connection with any liability under the Act on public policy grounds to a court of appropriate jurisdiction and to be governed by any final adjudication of such issue.  Indemnitee specifically agrees that any such undertaking shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement and to be bound by any such undertaking.
 
12.          Nonexclusivity; Survival of Rights; Primacy

(a)            The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under any provision of applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders, a resolution of directors of the Company, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and Indemnitee’s action as an agent of the Company, in any court in which a proceeding is brought, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and assigns of Indemnitee.  The obligations and duties of the Company to Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns until terminated in accordance with its terms.  The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
 
(b)            No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her corporate status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.  To the extent that a change in the NRS, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be afforded currently under the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.  No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, by Indemnitee shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy by Indemnitee.

 
 

 
 
(c)            The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may have in the future certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by entities and/or organizations (and certain of their affiliates) other than the Company (collectively, the “ Fund Indemnitors ”).  The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and (iii) that it shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors.  The Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.  The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 12(c).
 
13.          Term .  This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) five (5) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director of the Company; or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any proceeding, including any appeal then pending, in respect to which Indemnitee was granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder.
 
No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such five-year period; provided, however , that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.
 
14.          Subrogation .  Except as set forth in Section 12(c), in the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against Fund Indemnitors), who, at the request and expense of the Company, shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
 
15.          Security .  To the extent requested by Indemnitee and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.

16.          Interpretation of Agreement .  It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.
 
17.          Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement (including without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give effect to Section 16 hereof.

 
 

 
 
18.          Amendment and Waiver .  No supplement, modification, amendment, or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
 
19.          Notice .  Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice or demand which, by the provisions hereof, is required or which may be given to or served upon the parties hereto shall be in writing and, if by telegram, telecopy or telex, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered when sent, if by overnight delivery, courier or personal delivery, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered upon actual delivery and, if mailed, shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered three (3) business days after deposit in the United States mail, as registered or certified mail, with proper postage prepaid and addressed to the party or parties to be notified at the addresses set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address(es) as a party may designate for itself by like notice).  If to the Company, notices and demands shall be delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the Company.
 
20.          Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Nevada, as applied to contracts between Nevada residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Nevada.
 
21.          Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.  Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
 
22.          Headings .  The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.
 
23.          Entire Agreement .  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, the NRS and any other applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, and does not diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

True Drinks, Inc. Announces Strategic Investment Partnership with Toba Capital Management
 
 
IRVINE, CA -- (February 23, 2015) -- True Drinks, Inc. (OTCQB: TRUU ), makers of the zero-sugar, vitamin-enhanced AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water, today announces it has entered into a strategic investment partnership with Vinny Smith’s Toba Capital Management. Toba Capital Management has committed to a direct investment in the amount of $4.0 million into True Drinks, of which the Company has received the first $1.5 million. Vinny Smith, most notably recognized for selling his company Quest Software to Dell in 2012 for $2.4 billion, will provide added value to True Drinks, Inc. as a strategic advisor.
 
Toba Capital Management intends to harness its existing contacts in the beverage space for the benefit of this strategic investment into True Drinks, Inc. Mr. Smith also serves on the Board of Directors for Niagara Bottling, the largest private label bottled water supplier in the United States.
 
Lance Leonard, CEO of True Drinks, stated, “Mr. Smith embodies a true understanding of how to create value with early stage development companies. This investment will further enable our company to continue on its impressive growth trajectory in delivering the healthiest children’s beverage on the market.”
 
Leonard also added, “This capital will be utilized primarily to support our dramatic same store sales increases through our successful brand awareness and marketing campaigns.” True Drinks’ viral video campaign continues to challenge its competitors and their high sugar and caloric beverage offerings (http://www.aquaballdrink.com/videos/ ).
 
Vinny Smith also expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and the future of the company:
 
“There is a serious dialogue around sugar consumption happening right now in the media, in the medical community, and in American homes. AquaBall™ is a first-to-market product in a quickly evolving and important category, and I’m excited to work with True Drinks as a long-term partner and to provide ongoing support as the company grows.”
 
The mission of AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water is to help combat the rising childhood obesity and diabetes epidemics by providing a healthy, fun alternative to other sugary children's beverages.
