All of the foregoing indebtedness and other obligations are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Secured Obligations.”
4. Conversion .
(a) Payee's right to Convert. Except as provided by the “Ownership Limitation” as defined below in this Paragraph 4(a) or in Paragraph 4(g)(iii) below, Payee shall have the right, at any time commencing on the date hereof until the close of business on the day the Obligations are paid in full, to cause the conversion (a “Conversion”) of all or any portion (if such portion is Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars or a whole multiple of Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars) of the Principal outstanding at the time such Conversion is effected (the "Convertible Principal") into shares of Common Stock (the "Underlying Shares"). The price for Conversion, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 below, shall be Fifty Five ($0.55) Cents per share (the “Conversion Rate”). Maker will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon Conversion but will instead will issue cash calculated to the nearest penny in the amount equal to the fractional share times the closing price for a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of such conversion. Except as may be provided in Section 4 (b) below, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Payee be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Payee and Payee’s affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of Maker’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Payee and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Ownership Limitation”). Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by Payee upon, at the election of Payee, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Maker, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by Payee, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
Digital Power Corporation 1 2 % Secured Convertible Note Page 5 |
October21, 201 6
|
(b) Manner of Conversion. Payee may exercise its Conversion right by completing, executing and sending to Maker a completed and executed Note Conversion Form appended hereto as Annex A (the “Conversion Notice”) setting forth the amount of the Convertible Principal to be converted and providing the other information required in the Conversion Notice. Maker shall issue the number of Underlying Shares into which the Convertible Principal is to be converted in accordance with the Conversion Rate. If required by applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations, Payee shall represent in writing to Maker prior to the receipt of the Underlying Shares that such Shares will be acquired by Payee for investment only and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof, and shall agree that any certificates representing the Shares may bear a legend, conspicuously noting such restriction, as Maker shall deem reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to comply with any applicable federal and/or state laws or regulations.
(c) Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion. Certificates for Underlying Shares to be issued upon Conversion shall be transmitted by Maker’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to Payee (A) by crediting the account of Payee’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if Maker is then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement, as defined in Section 6 below, permitting the issuance of the Underlying Shares to or resale of the Underlying Shares by Payee or (B) if the Maker is not then a participant in the DWAC system and there is not an effective Registration Statement as aforesaid, by physical delivery of the certificates, bearing the restrictive legends required by Section 4(b) above if the Underlying Shares are otherwise not publicly tradable or without such restrictive legends if the Underlying Shares are otherwise publicly tradable, to the address specified by Payee in the Conversion Notice by the date that is five (5) Business Days after the later of (i) the delivery to Maker of the Conversion Notice or (ii) surrender of this Note (such date, the “ Underlying Share Delivery Date ”).
(d) Rights on Failure of Timely Delivery. If Maker fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to Payee a certificate or the certificates representing the Underlying Shares pursuant to Paragraph 4 .(c) above by the Underlying Share Delivery Date, then, (i) Payee will have the right to rescind such Conversion, which will terminate on the earlier of the actual delivery of the Underlying Shares or ten (10) Business Days after the Underlying Share Delivery Date; and (ii) Maker shall pay to Payee as liquidated damages and not as a penalty Two Hundred Fifty ($250.00) Dollars for each day after the Underlying Share Delivery Date that Maker fails to deliver the certificate or the certificates representing the Underlying Shares pursuant to Paragraph 4 .(c) above. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section 3.3 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, Payee shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Maker unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. Payee and Maker shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to Payee and Maker, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of Payee shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of fraud or manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, Payee may not transfer this Note unless Payee first physically surrenders this Note to Maker, whereupon Maker will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of Payee a new Note of like tenor, registered as Payee (upon payment by Payee of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. Payee and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(f) Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on Conversions of this Note shall be made without charge to Payee for any tax in respect of such issue. As noted in Section 4(e) above, Maker shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in any name other than that of Payee, and Maker shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates representing such Common Stock unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to Maker the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Maker that such tax has been paid.

(g) Covenants of Maker Relating to Conversion. Maker covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the date of repayment of all of the Obligations, or Conversion of all of the Convertible Principal:
(i) It shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or out of shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, sufficient shares to provide for the Conversion of this Note from time to time as this Note is presented for Conversion;
(ii) All Underlying Shares that may be issued upon Conversion of this Note will upon issue be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder of Maker;
(iii) If any Underlying Shares to be provided for the purpose of Conversion of the Convertible Principal requires registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon Conversion, Maker will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be, and Maker's obligation to deliver shares of the Common Stock upon Conversion of the Convertible Principal shall be abated until such registration or approval is obtained; provided , however , that this Note and the Obligations shall remain outstanding unless paid in full until Maker delivers the Underlying Shares and any then accrued but unpaid Interest to Payee and in no event shall this Note be converted until Maker effects such delivery; and
(iv) If, and thereafter so long as the Common Stock shall be listed on any securities exchange, market or other quotation system, Maker will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, market or other quotation system, list and keep listed and for sale so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange, market or other quotation system, upon official notice of issuance, all Underlying Shares issuable upon Conversion of the Convertible Principal and, in addition, if the rules of such exchange, market or other quotation system require stockholder approval for the authorization and/or issuance of the Underlying Shares issuable upon Conversion of the Convertible Principal Maker will use its best efforts to obtain such approval in a timely manner.
(h) Mandatory Conversion. On or after the earlier of the Effective Date as long as a Registration Statement remains effective or the date on which the Underlying Shares may otherwise be sold publicly, Maker may, at its option, convert all of this Note but not any portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above at any time on not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, provided that the closing price for a share of Common Stock equals or exceeds Three ($3.00) Dollars for a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending one trading day prior to the notice of Mandatory Conversion.
(i) Exchange Listing; Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Payee may not exercise its Conversion rights until the NYSE Mkt has approved the additional listing of the Underlying shares and Maker’s shareholders have approved the potential issuance of the Underlying Shares pursuant to Section 713(a) of the NYSE Mkt rules, if applicable. Maker will take all action reasonably required to obtain such shareholder approval as soon as possible if applicable.

5. Adjustment in Conversion Rate .
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Paragraph 5 (l) below, if Maker shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Maker is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Note is thereafter converted, Payee may receive the number and kind of shares which Payee would have owned immediately following such action if Payee had converted this Note immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification. If after an adjustment Payee upon Conversion of this Note may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of Maker, Maker's Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Rate between or among, as the case may be, the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the conversion privilege and conversion rate of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 5 .
(b) [Intentionally Deleted]
(c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time Maker grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Payee will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Payee could have acquired if Payee had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including, without limitation, the Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that Payee’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in Payee exceeding the Ownership Limitation, then Payee shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for Payee until such time, if ever, as Payee’s right thereto would not result in Payee exceeding the Ownership Limitation).
(d) Action to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, Maker will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that Maker may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

(e) Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required if such adjustment is less than 1% of the then Existing Conversion Rate; provided , however , that any adjustments which by reason of this Paragraph 5 (d ) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Maker shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Paragraph 5 (e ) , as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by Maker to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
(f) Referral of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section 5 shall require that an adjustment in the Conversion Rate be made effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Conversion Event”), if this Note shall have been converted after such record date, Maker may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Conversion Event issuing to Payee the shares, if any, issuable upon the Conversion Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such Conversion Event on the basis of the Conversion Rate in effect prior to such adjustment; provided , however , that Maker shall deliver to Payee a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing Payee’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(g) Number of Shares.

DIGITAL POWER CORPORATION
REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
OCTOBER 21 , 201 6
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “ Warrant ”) of Digital Power Corporation , a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of California (the “ Company ”), is issued to the Holder (as defined below) in connection with a 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “ Note ”) and another warrant (the “ Warrant -CS2 ”) that the Holder is also simultaneously acquiring from the Company. This Warrant is exercisable for up to an aggregate 265,000 shares of Common Stock, as defined below, subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti dilution provisions therein.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby certifies that the registered holder hereof, the [●], with an address at [●], and its successors and assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company 265,000 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, no par value (the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price equal to $0.80 per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth herein (the “ Warrant Price ”). The Holder is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfer of the Warrant (the “ Warrant Register ”) and is the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, except as described in Section 13 hereof.
1. Warrant . Subject to the Company complying with Rule 713(a) of the NYSE Mkt, if applicable, this Warrant shall become exercisable six months after the date hereof.
2. Expiration of Warrant . This Warrant shall expire on October 20, 2019 (the “ Expiration Date ”).
3. Exercise of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 1 and this Section 3 hereof.

3.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part with respect to any portion of this Warrant, into shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”), during normal business hours on any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized by law to be closed (a “ Business Day ”) on or prior to the Expiration Date with respect to such portion of this Warrant, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, accompanied by an exercise notice (the “ Exercise Notice ”) in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder, together with the payment of the Warrant Price. The Holder also shall have the right, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, when exercising the Warrant, in whole or in part, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the 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 Closing Price, as defined in Paragraph (e) of Section 4, of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C = the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Holder’s affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of the Company’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Ownership Limitation”). Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder, provided, further, however, that the limitations on exercised may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the exercise limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and, at such time, the corporation, association, partnership, organization, business, individual, government or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency (a “ Person ” or the “ Persons ”) in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

3.3 Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice by the date that is three Business Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B) surrender of this Warrant and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to an Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or the Holder rescinds such exercise.
3.4 Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3.5 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section 3.3 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.6 Partial Exercise. In case exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares designated by the Holder upon exercise as provided in Section 3.1 hereof (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).
3.7 Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant and upon the written request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights (including without limitation any rights to registration of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise) to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant; provided , however , that if the Holder shall fail to make a request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford the rights to such Holder.
4. Warrant Adjustments .
The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment with respect to events after the date hereof as follows:
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Paragraph 4 ( p ) below, if the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the Holder may receive the number and kind of shares which it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification. If after an adjustment the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company's Board of Directors, in good faith, shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the Warrant Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 4 .

(c) [Intentionally Deleted]
(d) [Intentionally Deleted]
(e) [Intentionally Deleted]
(f) [Intentionally Deleted]
(g) Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Paragraphs 4 (a) through (d) above, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price
(h) Transactions Not Requiring Adjustments. No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Paragraphs (a) through ( e ) of this Section if the Holder is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level which would preserve the Holder’s percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. No adjustment need be made for sales of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest, the granting of options and/or the exercise of options outstanding under any of the Company's currently existing stock option plans, the exercise of currently existing incentive stock options or incentive stock options which may be granted in the future, the exercise of any other of the Company's currently outstanding options, or any currently authorized warrants, whether or not outstanding. If this Warrant becomes exercisable solely into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(i) Action to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.
(j) Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.05; provided , however , that any adjustments, which by reason of this Paragraph 4 ( j ) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Paragraph 4 ( j ) , as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(k) Referral of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Exercise Event”), if this Warrant shall have been exercised after such record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Exercise Event issuing to the Holder the shares, if any, issuable upon the Exercise Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided , however , that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’ right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the Exercise Event.
(l) Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Paragraphs (a) through ( e ) of this Section 4 , this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.
(m) [Intentionally Deleted]
(n) [Intentionally Deleted]
(o) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice of the adjustment together with a certificate from the Company's Chief Financial Officer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the adjustment, (ii) the adjusted Warrant Price and the manner of computing it, and (iii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. The certificate shall be prima facia evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.
(p) Reorganization of Company. If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) the Company transfers or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) the Company reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets; the Person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to deliver such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Warrant. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The assumption agreement shall provide that the Holder may exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which it would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if it had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 . The successor company shall mail to the Holder a notice briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Paragraph applies, Paragraph 4 (a) above does not apply.

Page 7
(q) Dissolution, Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or total liquidation of the Company, then after the effective date thereof, this Warrant and all rights thereunder shall expire.
(r) Notices. If (i) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4 ; or (ii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice stating the proposed record date for a distribution or effective date of a reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.
5. Fractional Shares . If the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares. Instead the Company will issue cash in the amount equal to the fractional share times the Current Market Price calculated to the nearest penny.
6. Right to Registration . The Holder has the right to require the Company to register the Warrant Shares under the Act in accordance with the terms of an agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Holders. The date that the first Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission is herein referred to as the “ Effective Date .”
7. Redemption .
(a) Company’s Right to Redeem this Warrant. On or after the Effective Date, as long as the Warrant Shares may be sold publicly, on not less than 30 days notice to the Holder, the Company may redeem this Warrant at a redemption price of $0.001 times the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant can then be exercised (the " Redemption Price "), provided that the reported Closing Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $3.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days ending one trading day prior to the date that the notice of redemption is sent. All unexercised Warrants must be redeemed if any Warrants are redeemed.
(b) Method of Redemption. In case the Company shall desire to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it shall mail a notice of redemption to the Holder, first class, postage prepaid, not later than the 30th day before the date fixed for redemption, at its last address as shall appear in the records of the Company.
(c) Notice of Redemption. The notice of redemption shall specify (i) the Redemption Price; (ii) the date fixed for redemption; (iii) the place where the Warrants shall be delivered and the Redemption Price paid; and (iv) that the right to exercise the Warrants shall terminate at 5:00 PM (New York time) on the date fixed for redemption. The date fixed for the redemption of the Warrants shall be the Redemption Date.

(d) Delivery of Redemption Price and Expiration of the Warrants. From and after the Redemption Date, the Company shall, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, upon presentation and surrender to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder of its Warrants to be redeemed, deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder a sum in cash equal to the Redemption Price of of its Warrants to be redeemed. From and after the Redemption Date and upon the deposit or setting aside by the Company of a sum sufficient to redeem all of the Warrants called for redemption, the Warrants to be redeemed, shall expire and become void and all rights hereunder, except the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price, shall cease.
8. No Dilution or Impairment .
8.1 Actions to Permit Issuance of Warrant Shares . The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the terms and in the taking of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon exercise, (b) will take all actions necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon exercise.
8.2 Acknowledgement of Company’s Obligations . The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders.
9. Chief Financial Officer’s Report as to Adjustments . In the case of any adjustment or re-adjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly compute the adjustment or re-adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and cause its Chief Financial Officer to certify the computation (other than any computation of the fair value of property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and prepare a report setting forth the adjustment or re-adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which the adjustment or re-adjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the deemed issuance or sale and as adjusted and re-adjusted (if required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each report to the Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all reports at its office maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof and will cause them to be available for inspection at the office during normal business hours upon reasonable notice by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrants designated by the Holder.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof and not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise thereof, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.

12. Investment Representations: Restrictions on Transfer .
12.1 Investment Representations. The Holder acknowledge that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and, except as otherwise provided herein, will not be registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and that the transferability thereof is restricted by the registration provisions of the Act as well as such state laws. The Holder represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of such securities for any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring or disposing of them upon full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws. The Holder further understands and agrees that (i) neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws or, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such registration and qualification is available; (ii) any routine sales of the Company's securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, can be effected only pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Rule, including applicable holding periods and timely filing requirements with the Commission for the Company; and (iii) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the Warrants or the Warrant Shares on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from registration under the Act. The Holder agrees that each certificate representing any Warrant Shares for which the Warrants may be exercised will bear on its face a legend in substantially the following form:

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualified under any state securities laws. They may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under that Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws without an opinion counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration and qualification are not required.
12.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinion of Counsel. Prior to any transfer of any securities that are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Act (“ Restricted Securities ”), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of the Holder's intention to affect a transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 12.2 . Each notice (a) shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and (b) shall designate counsel for the Holder giving the notice (who may be in-house counsel for the Holder). The Holder giving notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in the notice. The following provisions shall then apply:
(i) If in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company the proposed transfer (i.e. private sale of Restricted Securities) may be effected without registration of Restricted Securities under the Act (which opinion shall state the bases for the legal conclusions reached therein), the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate representing the Restricted Securities issued upon or in connection with any transfer shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section 12.1 hereof.
(ii) If the opinion called for in (i) above is not delivered, the Holder shall not be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities until either (x) receipt by the Company of a further notice from such Holder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2 and fulfillment of the provisions of clause (i) above, or (y) such Restricted Securities have been effectively registered under the Act.
12.3 Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by this Section 1 2 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities: (a) which Restricted Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act, or (b) when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and counsel for the Company, which opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Act or Section 12 hereof. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by Section 12.1 hereof.

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT.
DIGITAL POWER CORPORATION
REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
OCTOBER 21 , 201 6
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “ Warrant ”) of Digital Power Corporation , a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of California (the “ Company ”), is issued to the Holder (as defined below) in connection with a 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “ Note ”) and another warrant (the “ Warrant -CS1 ”) that the Holder is also simultaneously acquiring from the Company. This Warrant is exercisable for up to an aggregate 265,000 shares of Common Stock, as defined below, subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti dilution provisions therein.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby certifies that the registered holder hereof, the [●], with an address at [●], and its successors and assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company 265,000 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, no par value (the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price equal to $0.90 per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth herein (the “ Warrant Price ”). The Holder is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfer of the Warrant (the “ Warrant Register ”) and is the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, except as described in Section 13 hereof.
1. Warrant . Subject to the Company complying with Rule 713(a) of the NYSE Mkt, if applicable, this Warrant shall become exercisable six months after the date hereof.
2. Expiration of Warrant . This Warrant shall expire on October 20, 2019 (the “ Expiration Date ”).
3. Exercise of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 1 and this Section 3 hereof.

3.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part with respect to any portion of this Warrant, into shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”), during normal business
hours on any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized by law to be closed (a “ Business Day ”) on or prior to the Expiration Date with respect to such portion of this Warrant, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, accompanied by an exercise notice (the “ Exercise Notice ”) in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder, together with the payment of the Warrant Price. The Holder also shall have the right, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, when exercising the Warrant, in whole or in part, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the 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 Closing Price, as defined in Paragraph (e) of Section 4, of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C = the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Holder’s affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of the Company’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Ownership Limitation”). Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder, provided, further, however, that the limitations on exercised may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the exercise limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and, at such time, the corporation, association, partnership, organization, business, individual, government or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency (a “ Person ” or the “ Persons ”) in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3 Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice by the date that is three Business Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B) surrender of this Warrant and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to an Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or the Holder rescinds such exercise.
3.4 Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
3.5 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section 3.3 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.6 Partial Exercise. In case exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares designated by the Holder upon exercise as provided in Section 3.1 hereof (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).
3.7 Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant and upon the written request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights (including without limitation any rights to registration of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise) to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant; provided , however , that if the Holder shall fail to make a request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford the rights to such Holder.
4. Warrant Adjustments .
The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment with respect to events after the date hereof as follows:
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Paragraph 4 ( p ) below, if the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the Holder may receive the number and kind of shares which it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification. If after an adjustment the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company's Board of Directors, in good faith, shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the Warrant Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 4 .

(d) [Intentionally Deleted]
(e) [Intentionally Deleted]
(f) [Intentionally Deleted]
(g) Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Paragraphs 4 (a) through (d) above, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price
(h) Transactions Not Requiring Adjustments. No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Paragraphs (a) through ( e ) of this Section if the Holder is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level which would preserve the Holder’s percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. No adjustment need be made for sales of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest, the granting of options and/or the exercise of options outstanding under any of the Company's currently existing stock option plans, the exercise of currently existing incentive stock options or incentive stock options which may be granted in the future, the exercise of any other of the Company's currently outstanding options, or any currently authorized warrants, whether or not outstanding. If this Warrant becomes exercisable solely into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(i) Action to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.
(j) Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.05; provided , however , that any adjustments, which by reason of this Paragraph 4 ( j ) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Paragraph 4 ( j ) , as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(k) Referral of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Exercise Event”), if this Warrant shall have been exercised after such record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Exercise Event issuing to the Holder the shares, if any, issuable upon the Exercise Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided , however , that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’ right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the Exercise Event.
(l) Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Paragraphs (a) through ( e ) of this Section 4 , this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.
(m) [Intentionally Deleted]
(n) [Intentionally Deleted]
(o) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice of the adjustment together with a certificate from the Company's Chief Financial Officer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the adjustment, (ii) the adjusted Warrant Price and the manner of computing it, and (iii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. The certificate shall be prima facia evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.
(p) Reorganization of Company. If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) the Company transfers or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) the Company reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets; the Person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to deliver such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Warrant. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The assumption agreement shall provide that the Holder may exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which it would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if it had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 . The successor company shall mail to the Holder a notice briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Paragraph applies, Paragraph 4 (a) above does not apply.

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualified under any state securities laws. They may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under that Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws without an opinion counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration and qualification are not required.
12.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinion of Counsel. Prior to any transfer of any securities that are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Act (“ Restricted Securities ”), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of the Holder's intention to affect a transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 12.2 .

(i) If in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company the proposed transfer (i.e. private sale of Restricted Securities) may be effected without registration of Restricted Securities under the Act (which opinion shall state the bases for the legal conclusions reached therein), the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate representing the Restricted Securities issued upon or in connection with any transfer shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section 12.1 hereof.
(ii) If the opinion called for in (i) above is not delivered, the Holder shall not be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities until either (x) receipt by the Company of a further notice from such Holder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2 and fulfillment of the provisions of clause (i) above, or (y) such Restricted Securities have been effectively registered under the Act.
12.3 Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by this Section 1 2 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities: (a) which Restricted Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act, or (b) when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and counsel for the Company, which opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Act or Section 12 hereof. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by Section 12.1 hereof.

(c) Notify the Holder as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than four trading days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Holder) confirm such notice in writing no later than one trading day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to such Holder as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holder as Selling Stockholder or the Plan of Distribution; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided , however , that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the EDGAR system.
(f) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holder in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of those jurisdictions within the United States set forth on Schedule 3(g ) hereto to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or to take such actions in states that require merit review.
(h) Cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Transaction Documents and applicable securities laws, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request. The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Registrable Securities to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is then a participant in such system.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v) , as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and any Affiliate thereof.
4. Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of its obligation under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.
5. Indemnification .
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, attorneys, investment advisors, partners, members, shareholders and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v) , the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice, as defined in Section 6(c) below, or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification by Holder. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents, attorneys or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v) , the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c) , any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d) , no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(c) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
(d) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder or Holders (as applicable) of no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
(e) Notices. All offers, acceptances, notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be deemed to have been given only: (i) when delivered in person; (ii) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service; or, (iii) five days after having been mailed by certified or registered mail prepaid, to the parties at their respective addresses first set forth above, or at such other address as may be given in writing in future by either party to the other. Notice may also be given via electronic or facsimile transmission to a party who provides such party’s fax number or email address to the other party and shall be deemed to have been given if receipt thereof is confirmed by the recipient. If Notice is to be given to any other Person who is then the registered Holder, to the address of such Holder as it appears in the stock transfer books of the Company or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such Person.
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder. Holders may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Transaction Documents.
(g) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic signature were the original thereof.
(h) Governing Law; Venue. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) may be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in Clark County, Nevada. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
(i) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(j) Severability.

(m) Gender. The use herein of the masculine pronouns or similar terms shall be deemed to include the feminine and neuter genders as well and vice versa and the use of the singular pronouns shall be deemed to include the plural as well and vice versa.

Digital Power Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel to Digital Power Corporation , a California corporation (the “Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the individuals or entities listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of [amount] shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.
A Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date]. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.
Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend. We will advise you if the registration statement is not available or effective at any point in the future.
|
Very truly yours, |
