Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

 

On February 28, 2018, Quest Solution, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two settlement agreements with David and Kathy Marin (the “Marin Settlement Agreements”). Pursuant to the first Marin Settlement Agreement (the “Marin Settlement Agreement I”), the Company and the Marins agreed to reduce the Company’s purchase price for all of the capital stock of Bar Code Specialties, Inc., which was acquired by the Company from the Marins in November 2014. In the 2014 acquisition, the Company had issued David Marin a promissory note for $11,000,000 of which an aggregate of $10,696,465.17 (the “Owed Amount”) was outstanding as of February 26, 2018which includes accrued interest earned but not paid. Pursuant to the Marin Settlement I Agreement, the amount of the indebtedness owed to Marin was reduced by $9,495,465.17 bringing the total amount owed to $1,201,000. Section 3.1 of the original note was amended to provide that the Company shall pay the Marins 60 monthly payments of $20,000 each commencing the earlier of (i) October 26, 2018 and (ii) the date that the Company’s obligation to Scansource, Inc., currently in the amount of $2,800,000 is satisfied and all amounts currently in default under the credit agreement with Scansource (currently approximately $ 6.0 Million) is reduced to $2.0 million. The Marins have agreed to release their security interest against the Company. In connection with the $9,495,465.17 reduction in the purchase price, the Company issued the Marins 3 year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per-share.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into an additional settlement agreement with the Marins (the “Marin Settlement Agreement II”) whereby the Company settled a promissory note owed to the Marins in the original principal amount of $100,000 which currently had a balance of $111,064.69 in its entirety in exchange for an aggregate of 85,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation value and conversion price of $1.00 per share and automatically converts into Common Stock at $1.00 per share in the event that the Company’s common stock has a closing price of $1.50 per share for 20 consecutive trading days. The preferred stock pays a 6% dividend commencing two years from issuance. During the first two years, the Series C Preferred stock shall neither pay or accrue the dividend. The Company also agreed to transfer title to a vehicle that was being utilized by Mr. Marin to David Marin. In exchange therefor, the $100,000 Note and the accrued interest thereon was cancelled in its entirety.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Kurt Thomet whereby the Company settled its indebtedness to Mr. Thomet in the current amount of $5,437,136.40 in full in exchange for 60 monthly payments of $12,500 each commencing the earlier of (i) October 26, 2018 or (ii) the date when the Company’s obligation under its promissory note with Scansource, Inc. currently in the amount of $2,800,000 is satisfied and all amounts currently due under the credit agreement with Scansource (currently approximately $6.0 million) is reduced to $2.0 million. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Thomet an aggregate of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with the same rights and restrictions as described above in the description of the Marin Settlement II Agreement.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Goerge Zicman whereby the Company settled its indebtedness to Mr. Zicman in the current amount of $1,304,198.55 in full in exchange for 60 monthly payments of $3,000 each commencing the earlier of (i) October 26, 2018 or (ii) the date when the Company’s obligation under its promissory note with Scansource, Inc. currently in the amount of $2,800,000 is satisfied and all amounts currently due under the credit agreement with Scansource (currently approximately $6.0 million) is reduced to $2.0 million. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Zicman an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and 600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with the same rights and restrictions as described above in the description of the Marin Settlement II Agreement.

 

Each of the Marins, Thomet and Zicman entered into a voting agreement with the Company whereby they agreed to vote any shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and also agreed to a leakout restriction whereby they each agreed not to sell more than 10% of the common stock beneficially owned during any 30-day period.

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a 5 year employment agreement with David Marin to serve as a sales officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Marin shall receive a salary of $15,000 per month during the term of this employment. He is also entitled to a commission of 20% of the Company’s gross profit on the Company’s net revenues derived from sales to any customers that Marin is directly responsible for facilitating and/or closing. This commission structure is consistent with Mr. Marin’s previous commission structure. In addition, Mr. Marin may be entitled to a bonus at the discretion of the Company’s Board.

 

     

 

 

On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with David and Kathy Marin whereby it cancelled the lease for the premises located at 12272 Monarch St., Garden Grove, California effective as of April 20, 2018.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

As described in Section 1.01 hereof, the Company issued an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock, 3,000,000 three-year warrants to purchase Common Stock at $0.20 per share and 1,685,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the February 28, 2018 settlement agreements.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

($11 mil Note)

 

THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is made this 28 th day of February 2018 and effective as of December 30, 2017 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and between Quest Solution Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and David Marin and Kathy Marin, individuals residing at 12272 Monarch Street, Garden Grove, CA 92841 and 20 Sklar Street, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694, respectively (collectively “ the Marins ”). The Company and the Marins collectively shall be referred to as the “ Parties .”

 

WHEREAS , in connection with the Company’s purchase of all of the capital stock of Bar Code Specialties, Inc. from David Marin (the “ Acquisition ”), the Company entered into a promissory note on November 19, 2014 in the original principal amount of $11,000,000, as amended through the date hereof (the “ Note ”), of which the aggregate amount of approximately $10,696,465.17 (the “ Owed Amount ”) is currently owed to the Marins, which includes accrued interest earned but not paid;

 

WHEREAS ; the Parties agree to reduce the purchase price of the capital stock purchased in the Acquisition and to reduce the Owed Amount under the Note accordingly on the terms set forth below.

 

WHEREAS , each of the Parties desires to resolve any and all claims in connection with the Owed Amount upon the fulfillment of the conditions set forth below.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other good and valuable considerations hereinafter contained, the Parties agree as follows:

 

  1. Recitals . The above recitals are incorporated into this Agreement.
     
  2. Purchase Price Adjustment . The Parties agree that the Owed Amount shall be reduced by $9,495,465.17 of the Owed Amount (the “ Cancelled Debt ”) without consideration as a purchase price adjustment in the Acquisition, effective as of December 31, 2017. The Parties agree to treat such debt reduction for all purposes as a purchase price adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company fails to deliver the Warrant in accordance with Section 3, fails to make any other payments due hereunder, or upon an Event of Default under the Note, $1,200,000 of the Cancelled Debt shall be reinstated and added back to the principal amount then outstanding under the Note, together with any accrued unpaid interest on the Reinstated Debt under the Note (the “ Reinstated Debt ”), and shall double the monthly payments under Section 2.1 of the Note to $40,000 per month.

 

     
 

 

  3. Warrant; Payment on the Note . Within three (3) days of the execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and deliver to the Marins (or to an affiliated entity or affiliated person as designated in writing by both of the Marins) a Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Warrant ”) at an exercise price of $0.20 per share (which exercise price the Parties acknowledge is approximately 200% of the closing sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date hereof). The issuance of the Warrant shall reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by an additional $1,000. The Warrant shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Marins but shall have the following terms: (i) the term of the Warrant shall be for three years; (ii) the Warrant shall contain standard net exercise provisions to facilitate a cashless exercise of the Warrant; (iii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to restrictions in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”) and will bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend until the requisite holding period shall be met under the 1933 Act. The Parties agree that the value of the Warrant for tax purposes as of the date of issuance is expected to be $1,000. In the event the Warrant’s value as of the date of issuance is in excess of the foregoing amount, the Parties agree that the Company shall reimburse the Marins for any resulting tax liability they owe in this regard up to $200,000, which reimbursement shall be due and payable upon notice to the Company of the amount of such taxes due (with reasonable documentation to support the same). This reimbursement obligation shall not be applicable to any potential gain on the exercise of the Warrant or sale of the underlying shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to make any reformations to this Agreement reasonable requested by the Marins to reduce any potential tax liability in this regard. In addition, the Marins hereby agree that they will not collectively sell more than 10% of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in any 30-day period (the “ Trading Restriction ”). The Trading Restriction shall be null and void 180 days after the Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or another national stock exchange. In addition, the Marins agree to execute the voting proxy agreement in favor of the Company’s CEO, Shai Lustgarten, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
     
  4. Amendment of the Note . The Parties agree that the remaining principal balance of the Note, after giving effect to the debt cancellation and payment in kind for the Warrant set forth in in Sections 2 and 3 above, shall be $1,200,000 (the “ Remaining Balance ”) (subject to further increase upon a reinstatement of debt in accordance with Section 2 above). The Parties further agree that the Note shall be amended as follows:

 

  a. Section 2.1 of the Note shall be amended in full to read as follows: “The principal balance of the Note (after giving effect to the debt cancellations and reductions pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between the Company and David and Kathy Marin dated February 2018), shall be paid in sixty (60) equal monthly installments of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), with the first payment due and payable on the earlier of (i) the eight month anniversary of the date of this Agreement; or (ii) the date when the Company’s obligation under its promissory note with Scansource, Inc. (“ Scansource ”), currently in the amount of approximately $2,800,000 is satisfied and all amounts currently in default due under the credit agreement (currently approximately $6.0 million) with Scansource is reduced to $2.0 million. Any interest accrued pursuant to the Note shall be paid with the 60th monthly payment.

 

     
 

 

 

  b. Sections 2.3 and Section 4 of the Note shall be deleted in their entirety as the Company has ceased paying for the premiums on such life insurance, and the Company has executed and delivered an assignment of such life insurance policy to Mr. Marin.
     
  c.  The Marins agree to release any security interest they may have against the Company’s assets related to this Note and to cancel the Security Agreement dated November 19, 2014 upon the termination of that certain Subordination Agreement by Scansource and the Company. Upon such cancellation of the Security Agreement, Section 6 of the Note shall be deleted in its entirety. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to terminate such Subordination Agreement unless Scansource consents in writing to the payments to the Marins or their designees hereunder.
     
  d. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all of the terms and provisions of the Note not otherwise modified or eliminated by this Agreement, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The Note, as amended through the date hereof, shall be read together and construed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
     
  e. The Company represents and warrants to the Marins that the Company has entered into settlement agreements with Kurt Thomet and George Zicman (collectively, the “ Noteholders ”), pursuant to which all of the promissory notes payable by the Company to the Noteholders have been cancelled in full, together with any security interest granted to the Noteholders.

 

  5. The Marins hereby confirm that, upon receipt of this Agreement and the Warrant, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any other fees, expenses, accrued but unpaid interest or dividends or any other payment or reimbursements that comprise the Cancelled Debt, except for the Reinstated Debt (but only to the extent of any such reinstatement in accordance with this Agreement), and subsequent interest and other amounts that may be accrued thereon after such reinstatement. The Marins hereby agree to release any security interest that they may have against the Company’s assets upon the cancellation of that certain Subordination Agreement by the Company and Scansource. The Marins represent and warrant that no other person or entity has any interest in the Cancelled Debt and that they have not pledged, and that they have not assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity all or any portion of the Cancelled Debt.

 

     
 

 

  6. Indemnification . The Marins agree that in the event either of the Marins assigned or transferred any interest in the Cancelled Debt, then the Marins shall be responsible for any damages arising against the Company relating to such assignment or transfer including reasonable expenses in defending a third party action related to such assignment or transfer.
     
  7. Mutual Non-Disparagement . All Parties agree not to disparage or otherwise make unfavorable remarks regarding any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Parties from making any truthful statement to the extent (a) necessary to rebut any untrue statements made about him; (b) necessary with respect to any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement; (c) required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with jurisdiction over such person; or (d) made as good faith competitive statements in the ordinary course of business.
     
  8. Merger and Amendment .

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

QUEST SOLUTION INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 3,000,000 Initial Exercise Date: February 23, 2018
   
  Issue Date: February 23, 2018

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, David and Kathy Marin or their assigns (collectively, the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the three (3) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Quest Solution Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 3,000,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Common Stock ”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 1(b). The Company is issuing this Warrant to the Holder pursuant to that certain Settlement Agreement between the Company and the Holder dated February 23, 2018 (the “ Settlement Agreement .”

 

Section 1 . Exercise .

 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 1(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

1  

 

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.20 , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B)(X)] by(A), where:

 

  (A) = the average closing price per share of Common Stock for the five (5) days prior to the Notice of Exercise;
     
  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge that the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(c).

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of- sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) the earlier of (A) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) three Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise 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 VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “ Standard Settlement Period ” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

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

 

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

 

3  

 

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, 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 which 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, 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

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

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any applicable transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

4  

 

 

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

a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

 

c) Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

 

5  

 

 

d) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

(i) If the payment of the Total Payments (as defined below) will be subject to the tax (the “ Excise Tax ”) imposed by Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall pay the Employee on or before the tenth day following the Date of Termination, an additional amount (the “ Gross-Up Payment ”) such that the net amount retained by the Employee, after deduction of any Excise Tax on Total Payments and any federal and state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this paragraph, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining whether any of the payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (A) any payments or benefits received or to be received by the Employee in connection with a Change in Control of the Company or the Employee’s termination of employment, whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, its successors, any person whose actions result in a Change in Control of the Company or any corporation affiliated or which, as a result of the completion of transaction causing such a Change in Control, will become affiliated with the Company within the meaning of Section 1504 of Code (the “ Total Payments ”) shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Employee, the Total Payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code either in their entirety or in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, (B) the amount of the Total Payments that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (I) the total amount of the Total Payments or (II) the amount of excess parachute payments or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Employee’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. In the event the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of the Employee’s employment, the Employee shall repay to the Company at the time the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the portion of the Gross-Up Payment that can be repaid such that the Employee remains whole on an after-tax basis following such repayment (taking into account any reduction in income or excise taxes to the Employee from such repayment) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the Federal short-term rate provided in Section 1274(d)(1)(C)(i) of the Code. In the event the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the termination of the Employee’s employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional gross-up payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, that (i) in no event shall reimbursements by the Company under this Agreement be made later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the applicable fees and expenses were incurred, provided that Employee shall have submitted an invoice for such fees and expenses at least 10 days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses were incurred; (ii) the amount of in-kind benefits that the Company is obligated to pay or provide in any given calendar year (other than medical reimbursements described in Treas.

The existence of the Employee’s Permanent Disability shall be determined by the Company on the advice of a physician chosen by the Employee, and the Company reserves the right to have the Employee examined by such physician at the Company’s expense.
