Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On
December 13, 2018, Youngevity International, Inc. (the
“Company”) closed the second tranche (the “Second
Closing”) of the private offering (the
“Offering”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), with investors that
acquired securities in its private placement consummated in August,
September and October 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the securities
purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) that the
Company had entered into with each investor, in addition to the
315,264 shares of Common Stock purchased by the investors in
August, September and October 2018 Stock at a price of $4.75
per share, the investors agreed to purchase from the Company an
additional 315,262 shares of Common Stock at a price of $4.75 per
share on or before the date that is three days from the
effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company
with the Securities Exchange Commission relating to the
Offering(the “Second Closing Date”). The Purchase
Agreement also provided that on the Second Closing Date the Company
will issue to the investors an aggregate of 75,000 shares of
Common Stock issued as an advisory fee, in addition to the 75,000
shares of Common Stock issued as an advisory fee in August,
September and October 2018. On December 10, 2018, the registration
statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. At the Second Closing, the Company sold 315,262 shares
of Common Stock at an offering price of $4.75 per share and issued
75,000 shares of Common Stock as advisory fee.
Pursuant
to each Purchase Agreement, the Company had issued the investors
three-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an
aggregate of 630,526 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$4.75, of which 315,264 shares were exercisable upon issuance and
the remaining 315,262 shares are exercisable at any time after the
Second Closing Date. The Warrants contain certain anti-dilution
provisions that apply in connection with a sale of Common Stock by
the Company at a price of below $4.75 per share, stock split, stock
dividend, stock combination, recapitalization of the
Company.
Each
Purchase Agreement provides that in the event that the average of
the 15 lowest closing prices for the Company’s Common Stock
during the period beginning on August 31, 2018 (the
“Effective Date”) and ending on the date 90 days from
the effective date of the Registration Statement (the
“Subsequent Pricing Period”) is less than $4.75 per
share, then the Company will issue to the investors additional
shares of its Common Stock (the “True-up Shares”)
within three days from the expiration of the Subsequent Pricing
Period, according to the following formula: X= [Purchase Price
Paid- (A*B)]/B, where:
X=
number of True-up Shares to be issued
A= the
number of purchased shares acquired by investor
B= the
True-up Price
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event may the aggregate number of shares
issued by the Company, including shares of common stock issued,
shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, the shares of
common stock issued as advisory shares and True-up Shares exceed
2.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as
of the Effective Date for each $1,000,000 invested in the
Company.
The
cash proceeds received by the Company from the Second Closing of
the Offering was $1,497,494. No commissions or other offering
expenses were paid.
The
foregoing description of the terms of the Warrant and Purchase
Agreement do not purport to be complete and is subject to, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such
agreements, the forms of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1.,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are
incorporated herein by reference. The provisions of the Purchase
Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained
therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the
parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for
investors and the public to obtain factual information about the
current state of affairs of the parties to that document. Rather,
investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained
in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
In
addition, on December 13, 2018, the Company’s wholly owned
subsidiary, CLR Roasters, LLC, a Florida limited liability company
(“CLR”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Carl
Grover (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which it
borrowed $5,000,000 from Mr. Grover and in exchange issued to him a
$5,000,000 credit note (“Credit Note”) secured by its
green coffee inventory under a Security Agreement, dated December
13, 2018 (the “Security Agreement”), with Mr. Grover
and CLR’s subsidiary, Siles Family Plantation Group S.A.
(“Siles”), as guarantor, and Siles executed a separate
Guaranty Agreement (“Guaranty”). In addition, Stephan
Wallach and Michelle Wallach, pledged 1,500,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock held by them to secure the Credit
Note
under
a Security Agreement, dated December 13, 2018 (the “Wallach
Security Agreement”) with Mr. Grover. In connection with the
Credit Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Grover a four-year
warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of its Common Stock, exercisable
at $6.82 per share (“Warrant 1”), and four-year warrant
to purchase 250,000 shares of its Common Stock, exercisable at
$7.82 per share (“Warrant 2”), pursuant to a Warrant
Purchase Agreement, dated December 13, 2018 (the ‘Warrant
Purchase Agreement”), with Mr. Grover. The Company also
entered into an Advisory Agreement (“Advisory
Agreement”) with Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC
(“Ascendant”) in connection with the Credit Agreement,
pursuant to which it agreed to pay to Ascendant a 3% fee on the
transaction with Mr. Grover and issued to Ascendant a four-year
warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of its Common Stock, exercisable
at the closing price of the Common Stock on December 13, 2018 (the
“Ascendant Warrant”).
The
foregoing description of the terms of Warrant 1, Warrant 2, the
Ascendant Warrant, the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement,
Guaranty, the Wallach Security Agreement, the Warrant Purchase
Agreement and Advisory Agreement do not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the provisions of such agreements, the forms of which are filed as
Exhibits 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are
incorporated herein by reference. The provisions of the Credit
Agreement and Security Agreement, including the representations and
warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party
other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a
document for investors and the public to obtain factual information
about the current state of affairs of the parties to that document.
Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures
contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.
The
information regarding the shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, Warrants, Warrant 1, Warrant 2 and the Ascendant Warrant set
forth under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference
in this Item 3.02. The Company issued to the investors the shares
of the Common Stock and the Warrants and issued to Mr. Grover and
Ascendant, respectively, Warrant 1, Warrant 2 and the Ascendant
Warrant, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided
for under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). The Company relied on this
exemption from registration for private placements based in part on
the representations made by the investors, including the
representations with respect to Investor’s status as an
accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the
Securities Act, and Investor’s investment
intent.
Between December 13, 2018 and December 18, 2018, the Company issued
an aggregate of 1,242,394 shares of common stock to 35 holders of
the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock upon
conversion of 621,197 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock and a warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) to each
holder to purchase an aggregate of 1,242,394 shares of common stock
pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement ( the
“Series C SPA”) that the holders had entered into with
the Company when they acquired the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock. In addition, the Company issued Series C Preferred Warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 101, 937 shares of common stock to the
placement agents for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to the terms of their placement agent agreement for the
offering which provides that the Series C Preferred Warrants are to
be issued to the placement agents to purchase such number of shares
of common stock as is equal to ten percent of the number of shares
of common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Warrants issued
to the investors introduced to the Company by them in the offering,
if and when the warrants are issued to the investors.. The Company
issued to the investors and placement agents the Series C Warrants
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided for under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied on
this exemption from registration for private placements based in
part on the representations made by the investors in the Series C
SPA. The Company issued the common stock upon conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock in reliance upon Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act as the issuance was made to an existing security
holder, there was no additional consideration paid for the common
stock and no commission or other remuneration was paid. The
foregoing description of the terms of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Certificate of Designation of Powers,
Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Series C Warrant and Series C SPA do not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the provisions of such agreements, the forms of which are filed as
Exhibits 3.1, 4.5 and 10.8, respectively, to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The provisions
of the Series C SPA, including the representations and warranties
contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than
the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document
for investors and the public to obtain factual information about
the current state of affairs of the parties to that document.
Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures
contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

WARRANT
AGREEMENT
VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. NEW YORK TIME, DECEMBER 12, 2022
Issue
Date: December 13, 2018
1.
Basic Terms
. This Warrant
Agreement (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received, the registered holder specified below or its registered
assigns (“Holder”) is the owner of a warrant of
Youngevity International, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its
principal place of business at 2400 Boswell Road, Chula Vista,
California 91914 (the “Corporation”), subject to
adjustments as provided herein, to purchase Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand (250,000) shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value, of
the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) from the
Corporation at the price per share shown below (the “Exercise
Price”).
Holder:
Carl Grover
Exercise Price per
share:
$7.82
Except
as specifically provided otherwise, all references in this Warrant
to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder shall be to the Exercise Price and number of
shares after any adjustments are made thereto pursuant to this
Warrant.
2.
Corporation’s
Representations/Covenants
. The Corporation represents and
covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall at delivery be fully paid and
non-assessable and free from taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges
with respect to their purchase. The Corporation shall take any
necessary actions to assure that the par value per share of the
Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then current
Exercise Price per share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Warrant. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and hold
available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all
conversion and purchase rights of outstanding convertible
securities, options and warrants of the Corporation, including this
Warrant.
3.
Method of Exercise; Fractional
Shares
.
(a)
This Warrant is
exercisable at the option of the Holder at any time by surrendering
this Warrant, on any business day during the period (the
“Exercise Period”) beginning the business day after the
issue date of this Warrant specified above and ending at 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) four (4) years after the issue date. To exercise
this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the
principal office of the Corporation or that of the duly authorized
and acting transfer agent for its Common Stock, together with the
executed exercise form (substantially in the form of that attached
hereto) and together with payment for the Common Stock purchased
under this Warrant. The principal office of the Corporation is
located at the address specified in Section 1 of this Warrant;
provided
,
however
, that the
Corporation may change its principal office upon notice to the
Holder. Payment shall be made by check payable to the order of the
Corporation or by wire transfer. This Warrant is not exercisable
with respect to a fraction of a share of Common Stock. In lieu of
issuing a fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this
Warrant as to all full shares covered by this Warrant, the
Corporation shall either at its option (a) pay for the fractional
share cash equal to the same fraction at the fair market price for
such share; or (b) issue scrip for the fraction in the registered
or bearer form which shall entitle the Holder to receive a
certificate for a full share of Common Stock on surrender of scrip
aggregating a full share.
(b)
In lieu of cash
exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Common
Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Corporation together with notice of such election, in
which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
Y (A - B)
X
=
A
Where:
X
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder under
this Section 3(b).
Y
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at
the date of such calculation).
A
-- The
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the business day
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
B
-- The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
For
purposes of this Section 3(b), the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing price of the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of capital stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable (“
Capital Stock
”)
underlying the Common Stock) quoted on NASDAQ or other primary
market in which the Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital
Stock underlying the Common Stock) are traded or the closing price
quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital Stock underlying the
Common Stock) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in
The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to
the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter
period of time during which such Common Stock were traded
over-the-counter or on such exchange).
4.
Protection Against Dilution
. If
the Corporation, with respect to the Common Stock, (1) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on shares of Common Stock that is
paid in shares of Common Stock or in securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (in which latter event the number of
shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities shall be deemed to have been
distributed), (2) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(3) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (4) issues by reclassification of Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the number of
shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of
such event and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that each Holder thereafter shall be
entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Common Stock
or other capital stock of the Corporation that it would have owned
or been entitled to receive in respect of this Warrant immediately
after the happening of any of the events described above had this
Warrant been converted immediately prior to the happening of that
event; provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the
total numbers of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant shall remain the same. An adjustment made in accordance
with this section shall become effective immediately after the
record date, in the case of a dividend, and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision,
combination, or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment
made in accordance with this Section 4, the Holder becomes entitled
to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the
board of directors (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Rate between or
among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock.
5.
Adjustment for Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger
. In the event of any consolidation or
merger to which the Corporation is a party other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing
corporation, or the sale or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety or any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a
merger of a third corporation into the Corporation) (each such
transaction referred to herein as “Reorganization”), no
adjustment of exercise rights or the Exercise Price shall be made;
provided
,
however
, the Holder
shall thereupon be entitled to receive if the Holder chooses to
exercise the Warrant within ten days of the notice of the
Reorganization and provision shall be made therefor in any
agreement relating to a Reorganization, the kind and number of
securities or property (including cash) of the corporation
resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to
which such properties and assets shall have been sold or otherwise
transferred or with whom securities have been exchanged, which the
Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive as a result of
such Reorganization had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to such Reorganization (and assuming the Holder failed to
make an election, if any was available, as to the kind or amount of
securities, property or cash receivable by reason of such
Reorganization; provided that if the kind or amount of securities,
property or cash receivable upon such Reorganization is not the
same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights
of election shall not have been exercised (“non electing
share”) then for the purpose of this section the kind and
amount of securities, property or cash receivable upon such
Reorganization for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be
the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the
non electing shares). In any case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to
the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the
specified changes and other adjustments to the conversion rate)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares, other securities or property thereafter
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this
section similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
6.
Notice of Adjustment
. On the
happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price
or the shares purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation
shall, within thirty (30) business days, give written notice to the
Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number
and kind of securities or other property purchasable under this
Warrant resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the
calculation is based.
7.
Dissolution, Liquidation
. In
case of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation (other than in connection with
reorganization, consolidation, merger, or other transaction covered
by paragraph 5 above) is at any time proposed; the Corporation
shall give at least thirty days prior written notice to the Holder.
Such notice shall contain: (a) the date on which the transaction is
to take place; (b) the record date (which shall be at least thirty
(30) days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of
Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result
of the transaction; (c) a brief description of the transaction; (d)
a brief description of the distributions to be made to holders of
Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (e) an estimate of
the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the
transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights
under this Warrant shall terminate.
8.
Rights of Holder
. The
Corporation shall deliver to the Holder all notices and other
information provided to its holders of shares of Common Stock or
other securities which may be issuable hereunder concurrently with
the delivery of such information to the holders. This Warrant does
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or, except for the
foregoing notice provisions, any other rights as a shareholder of
the Corporation. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this
Warrant or the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is
exercised. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price as provided above, the person or entity entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
shares as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of
this Warrant for exercise as provided above. Upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder in the Corporation.
9.
Exchange for Other
Denominations
. This Warrant is exchangeable, on its
surrender by the Holder to the Corporation, for a new Warrant of
like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the balance of the number of shares purchasable under this
Warrant in denominations and subject to restrictions on transfer
contained herein, in the names designated by the Holder at the time
of surrender.
10.
Substitution
. Upon receipt by
the Corporation of evidence satisfactory (in the exercise of
reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft or destruction or mutilation of the Warrant, and (in the case
or loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory (in the
exercise of reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the
Corporation will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
11.
Restrictions on Transfer
.
Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities
Act or any other securities laws (the “Acts”). Neither
this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for this Warrant or Common
Stock purchasable hereunder, as applicable, under the Acts, or (b)
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
that registration is not required under such Acts. If the Holder
seeks an opinion as to transfer without registration from
Holder’s counsel, the Corporation shall provide such factual
information to Holder’s counsel as Holder’s counsel
reasonably requests for the purpose of rendering such opinion. Each
certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder
will bear a legend describing the restrictions on transfer
contained in this paragraph unless, in the opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the shares need no longer
to be subject to the transfer restrictions.
12.
Transfer
. Except as otherwise
provided in this Warrant, this Warrant is transferable only on the
books of the Corporation by the Holder in person or by attorney, on
surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed.
13.
Recognition of Holder
. Prior to
due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the
Corporation shall treat the Holder as the person exclusively
entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights under
this Warrant. All notices required or permitted to be given to the
Holder shall be in writing and shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the
Holder appearing in the records of the Corporation.
14.
Payment of Taxes
. The
Corporation shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges,
other than applicable income taxes, that may be imposed with
respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant.
15.
Headings
. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of convenience in reference only, shall
not be deemed to constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not
affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this
Warrant.
16.
Miscellaneous
. This Warrant may
not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and the Holder.
This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Corporation. Under no
circumstances may this Warrant be assigned by the
Holder.
17.
Governing Law
. This Warrant
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles
governing conflicts of law.
18.
Holder’s Exercise
Limitations
. The Corporation shall not effect any exercise
of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect
to issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the
Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other
persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
non-converted portion of any other securities of the Corporation
(including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 18, beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it
being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and
the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
For
purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be,
(B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a
more recent written notice by the Corporation or its transfer agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall further be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Corporation, including this Warrant, by the
Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’
prior notice to the Corporation, a Holder may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph,
provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may in no event
exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and
shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
Holder of this Warrant.

WARRANT
AGREEMENT
VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. NEW YORK TIME, DECEMBER 12, 2022
Issue
Date: December 13, 2018
1.
Basic Terms
. This Warrant
Agreement (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received, the registered holder specified below or its registered
assigns (“Holder”) is the owner of a warrant of
Youngevity International, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its
principal place of business at 2400 Boswell Road, Chula Vista,
California 91914 (the “Corporation”), subject to
adjustments as provided herein, to purchase Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand (250,000) shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value, of
the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) from the
Corporation at the price per share shown below (the “Exercise
Price”).
Holder:
Carl Grover
Exercise Price per
share:
$6.82
Except
as specifically provided otherwise, all references in this Warrant
to the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable hereunder shall be to the Exercise Price and number of
shares after any adjustments are made thereto pursuant to this
Warrant.
2.
Corporation’s
Representations/Covenants
. The Corporation represents and
covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall at delivery be fully paid and
non-assessable and free from taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges
with respect to their purchase. The Corporation shall take any
necessary actions to assure that the par value per share of the
Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then current
Exercise Price per share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Warrant. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and hold
available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all
conversion and purchase rights of outstanding convertible
securities, options and warrants of the Corporation, including this
Warrant.
3.
Method of Exercise; Fractional
Shares
.
(a)
This Warrant is
exercisable at the option of the Holder at any time by surrendering
this Warrant, on any business day during the period (the
“Exercise Period”) beginning the business day after the
issue date of this Warrant specified above and ending at 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) four (4) years after the issue date. To exercise
this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the
principal office of the Corporation or that of the duly authorized
and acting transfer agent for its Common Stock, together with the
executed exercise form (substantially in the form of that attached
hereto) and together with payment for the Common Stock purchased
under this Warrant. The principal office of the Corporation is
located at the address specified in Section 1 of this Warrant;
provided
,
however
, that the
Corporation may change its principal office upon notice to the
Holder. Payment shall be made by check payable to the order of the
Corporation or by wire transfer. This Warrant is not exercisable
with respect to a fraction of a share of Common Stock. In lieu of
issuing a fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this
Warrant as to all full shares covered by this Warrant, the
Corporation shall either at its option (a) pay for the fractional
share cash equal to the same fraction at the fair market price for
such share; or (b) issue scrip for the fraction in the registered
or bearer form which shall entitle the Holder to receive a
certificate for a full share of Common Stock on surrender of scrip
aggregating a full share.
(b)
In lieu of cash
exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Common
Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Corporation together with notice of such election, in
which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
Y (A - B)
X
=
A
Where:
X
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder under
this Section 3(b).
Y
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at
the date of such calculation).
A
-- The
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the business day
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
B
-- The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
For
purposes of this Section 3(b), the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing price of the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of capital stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable (“
Capital Stock
”)
underlying the Common Stock) quoted on NASDAQ or other primary
market in which the Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital
Stock underlying the Common Stock) are traded or the closing price
quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital Stock underlying the
Common Stock) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in
The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to
the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter
period of time during which such Common Stock were traded
over-the-counter or on such exchange).
4.
Protection Against Dilution
. If
the Corporation, with respect to the Common Stock, (1) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on shares of Common Stock that is
paid in shares of Common Stock or in securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (in which latter event the number of
shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities shall be deemed to have been
distributed), (2) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(3) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (4) issues by reclassification of Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the number of
shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of
such event and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that each Holder thereafter shall be
entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Common Stock
or other capital stock of the Corporation that it would have owned
or been entitled to receive in respect of this Warrant immediately
after the happening of any of the events described above had this
Warrant been converted immediately prior to the happening of that
event; provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the
total numbers of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant shall remain the same. An adjustment made in accordance
with this section shall become effective immediately after the
record date, in the case of a dividend, and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision,
combination, or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment
made in accordance with this Section 4, the Holder becomes entitled
to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the
board of directors (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Rate between or
among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock.
5.
Adjustment for Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger
. In the event of any consolidation or
merger to which the Corporation is a party other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing
corporation, or the sale or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety or any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a
merger of a third corporation into the Corporation) (each such
transaction referred to herein as “Reorganization”), no
adjustment of exercise rights or the Exercise Price shall be made;
provided
,
however
, the Holder
shall thereupon be entitled to receive if the Holder chooses to
exercise the Warrant within ten days of the notice of the
Reorganization and provision shall be made therefor in any
agreement relating to a Reorganization, the kind and number of
securities or property (including cash) of the corporation
resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to
which such properties and assets shall have been sold or otherwise
transferred or with whom securities have been exchanged, which the
Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive as a result of
such Reorganization had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to such Reorganization (and assuming the Holder failed to
make an election, if any was available, as to the kind or amount of
securities, property or cash receivable by reason of such
Reorganization; provided that if the kind or amount of securities,
property or cash receivable upon such Reorganization is not the
same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights
of election shall not have been exercised (“non electing
share”) then for the purpose of this section the kind and
amount of securities, property or cash receivable upon such
Reorganization for each non electing share shall be deemed to be
the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the
non electing shares). In any case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to
the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the
specified changes and other adjustments to the conversion rate)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares, other securities or property thereafter
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this
section similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
6.
Notice of Adjustment
. On the
happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price
or the shares purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation
shall, within thirty (30) business days, give written notice to the
Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number
and kind of securities or other property purchasable under this
Warrant resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the
calculation is based.
7.
Dissolution, Liquidation
. In
case of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation (other than in connection with
reorganization, consolidation, merger, or other transaction covered
by paragraph 5 above) is at any time proposed; the Corporation
shall give at least thirty days prior written notice to the Holder.
Such notice shall contain: (a) the date on which the transaction is
to take place; (b) the record date (which shall be at least thirty
(30) days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of
Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result
of the transaction; (c) a brief description of the transaction, (d)
a brief description of the distributions to be made to holders of
Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (e) an estimate of
the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the
transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights
under this Warrant shall terminate.
8.
Rights of Holder
. The
Corporation shall deliver to the Holder all notices and other
information provided to its holders of shares of Common Stock or
other securities which may be issuable hereunder concurrently with
the delivery of such information to the holders. This Warrant does
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or, except for the
foregoing notice provisions, any other rights as a shareholder of
the Corporation. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this
Warrant or the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is
exercised. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price as provided above, the person or entity entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
shares as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of
this Warrant for exercise as provided above. Upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder in the Corporation.
9.
Exchange for Other
Denominations
. This Warrant is exchangeable, on its
surrender by the Holder to the Corporation, for a new Warrant of
like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the balance of the number of shares purchasable under this
Warrant in denominations and subject to restrictions on transfer
contained herein, in the names designated by the Holder at the time
of surrender.
10.
Substitution
. Upon receipt by
the Corporation of evidence satisfactory (in the exercise of
reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft or destruction or mutilation of the Warrant, and (in the case
or loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory (in the
exercise of reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the
Corporation will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
11.
Restrictions on Transfer
.
Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities
Act or any other securities laws (the “Acts”). Neither
this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for this Warrant or Common
Stock purchasable hereunder, as applicable, under the Acts, or (b)
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
that registration is not required under such Acts. If the Holder
seeks an opinion as to transfer without registration from
Holder’s counsel, the Corporation shall provide such factual
information to Holder’s counsel as Holder’s counsel
reasonably requests for the purpose of rendering such opinion. Each
certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder
will bear a legend describing the restrictions on transfer
contained in this paragraph unless, in the opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the shares need no longer
to be subject to the transfer restrictions.
12.
Transfer
. Except as otherwise
provided in this Warrant, this Warrant is transferable only on the
books of the Corporation by the Holder in person or by attorney, on
surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed.
13.
Recognition of Holder
. Prior to
due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the
Corporation shall treat the Holder as the person exclusively
entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights under
this Warrant. All notices required or permitted to be given to the
Holder shall be in writing and shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the
Holder appearing in the records of the Corporation.
14.
Payment of Taxes
. The
Corporation shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges,
other than applicable income taxes, that may be imposed with
respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant.
15.
Headings
. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of convenience in reference only, shall
not be deemed to constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not
affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this
Warrant.
16.
Miscellaneous
. This Warrant may
not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and the Holder.
This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Corporation. Under no
circumstances may this Warrant be assigned by the
Holder.
17.
Governing Law
. This Warrant
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles
governing conflicts of law.
18.
Holder’s Exercise
Limitations
. The Corporation shall not effect any exercise
of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect
to issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the
Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other
persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
non-converted portion of any other securities of the Corporation
(including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 18, beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it
being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance
therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is
exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant
is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and
the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with
any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
For
purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be,
(B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a
more recent written notice by the Corporation or its transfer agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall further be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Corporation, including this Warrant, by the
Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’
prior notice to the Corporation, a Holder may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph,
provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may in no event
exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to
apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and
shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
Holder of this Warrant.

Basic Terms
. This Warrant
Agreement (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value
received, the registered holder specified below or its registered
assigns (“Holder”) is the owner of a warrant of
Youngevity International, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its
principal place of business at 2400 Boswell Road, Chula Vista,
California 91914 (the “Corporation”), subject to
adjustments as provided herein, to purchase Fifty Thousand (50,000)
shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value, of the Corporation
(the “Common Stock”) from the Corporation at the price
per share shown below (the “Exercise
Price”).

Except
as specifically provided otherwise, all references in this Warrant

purchasable hereunder shall be to the Exercise Price and number of
shares after any adjustments are made thereto pursuant to this
Warrant.
2.
Corporation’s
Representations/Covenants
. The Corporation represents and
covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall at delivery be fully paid and
non-assessable and free from taxes, liens, encumbrances and charges
with respect to their purchase. The Corporation shall take any
necessary actions to assure that the par value per share of the
Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then current
Exercise Price per share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Warrant. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and hold
available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all
conversion and purchase rights of outstanding convertible
securities, options and warrants of the Corporation, including this
Warrant.
3.
Method of Exercise; Fractional
Shares
.
(a)
This Warrant is
exercisable at the option of the Holder at any time by surrendering
this Warrant, on any business day during the period (the
“Exercise Period”) beginning the business day after the
issue date of this Warrant specified above and ending at 5:00 p.m.
(New York time) four (4) years after the issue date. To exercise
this Warrant, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the
principal office of the Corporation or that of the duly authorized
and acting transfer agent for its Common Stock, together with the
executed exercise form (substantially in the form of that attached
hereto) and together with payment for the Common Stock purchased
under this Warrant. The principal office of the Corporation is
located at the address specified in Section 1 of this Warrant;
provided
,
however
, that the
Corporation may change its principal office upon notice to the
Holder. Payment shall be made by check payable to the order of the
Corporation or by wire transfer. This Warrant is not exercisable
with respect to a fraction of a share of Common Stock. In lieu of
issuing a fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this
Warrant as to all full shares covered by this Warrant, the
Corporation shall either at its option (a) pay for the fractional
share cash equal to the same fraction at the fair market price for
such share; or (b) issue scrip for the fraction in the registered
or bearer form which shall entitle the Holder to receive a
certificate for a full share of Common Stock on surrender of scrip
aggregating a full share.
(b)
In lieu of cash
exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Common
Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Corporation together with notice of such election, in
which event the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:
Y (A - B)
X
=
A
Where:
X
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder under
this Section 3(b).
Y
-- The
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at
the date of such calculation).
A
-- The
fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the business day
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
B
-- The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculations).
For
purposes of this Section 3(b), the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing price of the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of capital stock for which this
Warrant is exercisable (“
Capital Stock
”)
underlying the Common Stock) quoted on NASDAQ or other primary
market in which the Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital
Stock underlying the Common Stock) are traded or the closing price
quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the
Common Stock (or equivalent shares of Capital Stock underlying the
Common Stock) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in
The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to
the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter
period of time during which such Common Stock were traded
over-the-counter or on such exchange).
4.
Protection Against Dilution
. If
the Corporation, with respect to the Common Stock, (1) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on shares of Common Stock that is
paid in shares of Common Stock or in securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (in which latter event the number of
shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities shall be deemed to have been
distributed), (2) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(3) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (4) issues by reclassification of Common Stock
any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the number of
shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of
such event and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that each Holder thereafter shall be
entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Common Stock
or other capital stock of the Corporation that it would have owned
or been entitled to receive in respect of this Warrant immediately
after the happening of any of the events described above had this
Warrant been converted immediately prior to the happening of that
event; provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the
total numbers of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant shall remain the same. An adjustment made in accordance
with this section shall become effective immediately after the
record date, in the case of a dividend, and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision,
combination, or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment
made in accordance with this Section 4, the Holder becomes entitled
to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Corporation, the
board of directors (whose determination shall be conclusive) shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Rate between or
among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock.
5.
Adjustment for Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger
. In the event of any consolidation or
merger to which the Corporation is a party other than a
consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing
corporation, or the sale or conveyance to another corporation of
the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety or any statutory exchange of securities with another
corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a
merger of a third corporation into the Corporation) (each such
transaction referred to herein as “Reorganization”), no
adjustment of exercise rights or the Exercise Price shall be made;
provided
,
however
, the Holder
shall thereupon be entitled to receive if the Holder chooses to
exercise the Warrant within ten days of the notice of the
Reorganization and provision shall be made therefor in any
agreement relating to a Reorganization, the kind and number of
securities or property (including cash) of the corporation
resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to
which such properties and assets shall have been sold or otherwise
transferred or with whom securities have been exchanged, which the
Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive as a result of
such Reorganization had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to such Reorganization (and assuming the Holder failed to
make an election, if any was available, as to the kind or amount of
securities, property or cash receivable by reason of such
Reorganization; provided that if the kind or amount of securities,
property or cash receivable upon such Reorganization is not the
same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights
of election shall not have been exercised (“non electing
share”) then for the purpose of this section the kind and
amount of securities, property or cash receivable upon such
Reorganization for each non electing share shall be deemed to be
the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the
non electing shares). In any case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder, to
the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the
specified changes and other adjustments to the conversion rate)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any shares, other securities or property thereafter
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this
section similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
6.
Notice of Adjustment
. On the
happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price
or the shares purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation
shall, within thirty (30) business days, give written notice to the
Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number
and kind of securities or other property purchasable under this
Warrant resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the
calculation is based.
7.
Dissolution, Liquidation
. In
case of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation (other than in connection with
reorganization, consolidation, merger, or other transaction covered
by paragraph 5 above) is at any time proposed; the Corporation
shall give at least thirty days prior written notice to the Holder.
Such notice shall contain: (a) the date on which the transaction is
to take place; (b) the record date (which shall be at least thirty
(30) days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of
Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result
of the transaction; (c) a brief description of the transaction, (d)
a brief description of the distributions to be made to holders of
Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (e) an estimate of
the fair value of the distributions. On the date of the
transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights
under this Warrant shall terminate.
8.
Rights of Holder
. The
Corporation shall deliver to the Holder all notices and other
information provided to its holders of shares of Common Stock or
other securities which may be issuable hereunder concurrently with
the delivery of such information to the holders. This Warrant does
not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or, except for the
foregoing notice provisions, any other rights as a shareholder of
the Corporation. No dividends are payable or will accrue on this
Warrant or the shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is
exercised. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and payment of the
Exercise Price as provided above, the person or entity entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
shares as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of
this Warrant for exercise as provided above. Upon the exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder in the Corporation.
9.
Exchange for Other
Denominations
. This Warrant is exchangeable, on its
surrender by the Holder to the Corporation, for a new Warrant of
like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase the balance of the number of shares purchasable under this
Warrant in denominations and subject to restrictions on transfer
contained herein, in the names designated by the Holder at the time
of surrender.
10.
Substitution
. Upon receipt by
the Corporation of evidence satisfactory (in the exercise of
reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft or destruction or mutilation of the Warrant, and (in the case
or loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory (in the
exercise of reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the
Corporation will issue and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant
of like tenor.
11.
Restrictions on Transfer
.
Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities
Act or any other securities laws (the “Acts”). Neither
this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of
(a) an effective registration statement for this Warrant or Common
Stock purchasable hereunder, as applicable, under the Acts, or (b)
an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
that registration is not required under such Acts. If the Holder
seeks an opinion as to transfer without registration from
Holder’s counsel, the Corporation shall provide such factual
information to Holder’s counsel as Holder’s counsel
reasonably requests for the purpose of rendering such opinion. Each
certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder
will bear a legend describing the restrictions on transfer
contained in this paragraph unless, in the opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the shares need no longer
to be subject to the transfer restrictions.
12.
Transfer
. Except as otherwise
provided in this Warrant, this Warrant is transferable only on the
books of the Corporation by the Holder in person or by attorney, on
surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed.
13.

entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights under
this Warrant. All notices required or permitted to be given to the
Holder shall be in writing and shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the
Holder appearing in the records of the Corporation.
14.

. The
Corporation shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges,
other than applicable income taxes, that may be imposed with
respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise of this Warrant.
15.
Headings
. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of convenience in reference only, shall
not be deemed to constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not
affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this
Warrant.
16.

not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and the Holder.
This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Corporation. Under no
circumstances may this Warrant be assigned by the
Holder.
17.

shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles
governing conflicts of law.

Attorney-in-Fact
.
(a)
Powers

Agent
”) to
act on behalf of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as
its attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or in its own name,
so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for
the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
any and all appropriate action and to execute any instrument which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as an Event of

license or patent right pertains), throughout the world for such
term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Secured
Party in their sole discretion determine;
(viii)
to
sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral and to take, at Secured
Party’s option and Pledgor’s expense, any actions which
Secured Party deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and Secured Party’s liens on the Collateral
and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, in each case to the
same extent as if Secured Party were the absolute owners of the
Collateral for all purposes;
(ix)
to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise and all rights of Pledgor to
receive the dividends and interests which it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice,

Secured Party, any interest, cash dividends or other payments on
the Collateral and, at the option of Agent, to exercise in such
Agent’s discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with
respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner
thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange,
at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection
with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or

sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or
stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such
parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or
places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may deem
commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required
by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand
upon or notice to Pledgor or right of redemption of a Pledgor,
which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease,
assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party, may,

Party, and to enforce Pledgor’s rights against such account
Pledgor and obligors.
Pledgor
hereby ratifies whatever actions Secured Party lawfully does or
causes to be done in accordance with this Section 3. This power of
attorney will be a power coupled with an interest and will be
irrevocable.

Part
. The powers conferred on Secured Party by this
Section 4 are solely to protect Secured Party’s interest
in the Collateral and do not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Secured Party will be accountable only for amounts
that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of their officers,
directors, employees or agents will, in the absence of willful
misconduct or gross negligence, be responsible to Pledgor for any
act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 4.
(c)
Application
of Proceeds
. The proceeds of
any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or
from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any
portion of the Collateral shall be applied: (i) first, to the
expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing
for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any
taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Agent in enforcing the Secured
Party’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting,
storing and disposing of the Collateral; and (ii) then to
satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other
amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party
shall pay to Pledgor any surplus proceeds.
(d)
Liability
for Deficiency
. Upon the sale, license or other disposition
of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all
amounts to which the Secured Party are legally entitled, Pledgor
will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon,
at the Default Rate set forth in the Credit Notes or the lesser
amount permitted by applicable law (the “
Default Rate
”), and the reasonable
fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such
deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor
waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party
arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the
Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment
(not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
5.
Duty To Hold In Trust
.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Pledgor shall, upon receipt of
any revenue, income
, dividend,
interest
or other sums subject
to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or
otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other
instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the
same in trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and
transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4(c) above and if any amounts are
remaining to the Secured Party,
pro rata
in proportion to their respective then-currently
outstanding principal amount of Note for application to the
satisfaction of the Obligations.
6.
Expenses Incurred by Secured
Party
. If Pledgor fail to perform or comply with any of its
agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, and Secured
Party performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or
compliance, with such agreement or covenant in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, then the reasonable expenses of Secured
Party incurred in connection with such performance or compliance
will be payable by Pledgor to the Secured Parties on demand and
will constitute Obligations secured by this Agreement.
7.
Remedies
. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may exercise,
in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the
New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time (the
“Code”
). Without
limiting the foregoing, in such circumstances, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon
Pledgor or any other person (all of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Secured Party may
collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any or all of the
Collateral and/or may sell, lease, assign, give an option or
options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver any or all
of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of Secured Party or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may deem
advisable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. Secured Party will have the right
upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by
law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any
part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or
released. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), Secured Party
will apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery,
receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all
reasonable expenses incurred therein or in connection with the care
or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to
the Collateral or the rights of Secured Party under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) to the payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, in such order as Secured Party may elect, and only
after such application and after the payment by Secured Party of
any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured
Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damage and
demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out of the
exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any
notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is
required by law, such notice will be deemed reasonable and proper
if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other
disposition. Pledgor will remain liable for any deficiency of
Pledgor if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
8.
Limitation on Duties Regarding
Preservation of Collateral
. The sole duty of Secured Party
with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the
Collateral, under the appropriate Code section or otherwise, will
be to deal with it in the same manner as Secured Party deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither Secured Party nor any
of its employees, affiliates or agents will be liable for failure
to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of Pledgor or otherwise.
9.
Powers Coupled with an
Interest
. All authorizations and agencies contained in this
Agreement with respect the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.
10.
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
.
Secured Party will not by any act (except by a written instrument
pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof) of delay, indulgence,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default under the
Note or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on
the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder
will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy
under this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy that Secured Party would otherwise have
on any subsequent occasion. The rights and remedies provided in
this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.
11.
Miscellaneous
.
(a)
Amendments and Waivers
. Any
term of this Agreement may only be amended by prior written consent
of Pledgor and the Secured Party. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this Section 11(a) will be binding upon all of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.
(b)
Transfer; Successors and
Assigns
. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of Pledgor and Secured Party, and their respective
successors or assigns. Pledgor may not assign any of its/his rights
or delegate any of its/his duties under this
Agreement.
(c)
Governing Law
. This Agreement
will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to the laws that might be
applicable under conflicts of laws principles. Any action or
proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any
right arising out of, any of this Agreement must be brought against
any of the parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, Kent
County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the
parties consents to the jurisdiction of those courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and
waives any objection to venue laid therein. Nothing in this Section
11(c), however, affects the right of any party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law.
(d)
Counterparts
. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by
facsimile), each of which will be an original, but all of which
together will constitute one instrument.
(e)
Titles and Subtitles
. The
titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or
interpreting this Agreement.
(f)
Notices
. All notices, requests
and demands to or upon the Secured Party or Pledgor hereunder shall
be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase
Agreement.
(g)
Term
.
This Agreement shall terminate on the date on
which all payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly satisfied
in full and all other Obligations have been satisfied in full or
discharged (through cash payment or conversion);
provided
,
however
,
that all indemnities of the Notes contained in this Agreement shall
survive and remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this
Agreement.
(h)
Severability
. In the event that
any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall
for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, such provision(s) shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
(i)
Entire Agreement
. This
Agreement and the other documents evidencing, securing, or relating
to the Notes constitute the entire understanding and agreement
between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof
and supersede all prior agreements, representations and
undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect
to such subject matter.
(j)
Secured Party
Representations and Warranties
. Secured Party hereby
represents and warrants that he (i) has engaged his own independent
legal and financial advisors in connection with the Loan
contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (ii)
understands that a substantial part of the Collateral consists of
certain assets (
i
.
e
. green coffee inventory and
the proceeds thereof) owned by Pledgor and located in Nicaragua
(the “Foreign Assets”), (iii) understands that
perfecting his security interest over the Foreign Assets and
foreclosing against the Foreign Assets will be difficult, will
require compliance with local laws and regulations regarding
perfection of security interests and foreclosure and will require
Secured Party to engage independent legal counsel familiar with the
requirements under Nicaraguan law in order to attempt to perfect
such security interest and/or foreclose against the Foreign Assets,
(iv) is not relying solely or predominantly on his ability to
obtain a perfected security interest in the Foreign Assets and/or
his ability to foreclose against the Foreign Assets in making his
decision to invest in the Company by purchasing the Credit Note,
(v) understands that similar to the state-by-state lender licensing
regime and requirements for perfection of security interests by
filing financing statements in the U.S., a U.S. lender desiring to
obtain a security interest over the foreign assets of a borrower
may be required by local laws of the foreign jurisdiction to obtain
a license or governmental approval or file certain paperwork
documents, instruments or other information with the local
authorities, and (vi) understands that each foreign jurisdiction
has specific licensing and registration and filing requirements,
making consultation with counsel in the jurisdiction critical.
Neither the Company, the Placement Agent nor any of their
representatives or legal counsel makes any representation or
warranty regarding the ability of the Secured Party to obtain a
perfected security interest in the Foreign Assets or the ability of
the Secured Party to foreclose thereon.

under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely
as a surety) and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
irrespective of, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or
hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the
following:
(i)
any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Note and/or any
other Loan Document;
(ii)
any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other

Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional
credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure

any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any
other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other Obligations of any other Transaction Party under the
Transaction Documents or any other assets of any other Transaction
Party;
(vii)
any
failure of the Lender to disclose to any Transaction Party any
information relating to the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any
other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the Lender

such information);

any action in furtherance of the release of Guarantor or any other
Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any part of
any liability arising under or in connection with any Loan Document
without the prior written consent of the Lender; or
(ix)
any
other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation

Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed

such payment had not been made.
(c)

force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed

his permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Lender may pledge,
assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights,
remedies and obligations under and subject to the terms of any Loan
Document to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
the Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the
Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document.
SECTION 4.
Waivers
.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby waives
promptness, diligence, protest, notice of acceptance and any other
notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that
the Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any
Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver
set forth in this
Section 4
is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in
nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing
now or in the future. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim
or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Lender that in
any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely
affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification rights of Guarantor or other rights of Guarantor
to proceed against any of the other Transaction Parties, any other
guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any
defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other
Transaction Party now or hereafter known by the
Lender.
SECTION 5.
Subrogation
.
Guarantor may not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter
acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor that
arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of
any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against any
Transaction Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under
contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other
guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by
set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on
account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until there has
been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount
shall be paid to Guarantor in violation of the immediately
preceding sentence at any time prior to Payment in Full of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and
applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty, whether matured or un-matured, in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Document, or to be held as Collateral
for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this
Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) Guarantor shall make payment to
the Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and
(b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the Lender will, at such Guarantors’ request and expense,
execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents to
evidence payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations without
recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to

interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment
by such Guarantor.

Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any

Document and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured. The Lender agrees to notify the Guarantor promptly after
any such set-off and application made by the Lender, provided that

such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under
this
Section 7
are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off)
which the Lender may have under this Guaranty or any other Loan

SECTION 8.

(a)
Notwithstanding
any provision herein contained to the contrary, Guarantors’
liability hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as
of any date of determination the greater of:
(i)
the
amount of all Guaranteed Obligations, plus interest thereon at the
applicable interest rate as specified in the Credit Notes;
and
(ii)
the
amount which could be claimed by the Lender from Guarantor under
this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable
under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or
similar statute or common law after taking into account, among
other things, Guarantors’ right of contribution and
indemnification.
(b)
Guarantor
agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from
time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder without impairing the guaranty hereunder or affecting the
rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder or under applicable

payment made by Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any

Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any
action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application

payment made by Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any payment received or collected from Guarantor in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed

SECTION 10.
Governing Law;
Jurisdiction
. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Guaranty shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of Delaware. Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Kent
County, Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or under any of the other Loan Documents or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim, obligation or defense that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or
that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address

such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or
operate to preclude the Lender from bringing suit or taking other
legal action against Guarantor in any other jurisdiction to collect
on Guarantors’ obligations or to enforce a judgment or other
court ruling in favor of the Lender.
SECTION 11.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL,
ETC
. GUARANTOR HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
SECTION 12.
Taxes
.
(a)
All
payments made by Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the
respective Loan Document and shall be made without set-off,
counterclaim, withholding, deduction or other defense. Without
limiting the foregoing, all such payments shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding
taxes imposed on the net income of the
Lender by the jurisdiction in which the Lender is organized or
where it has its principal lending office (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively or individually,
“
Taxes
”). If Guarantor shall be required to deduct
or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document:
(i)
the
amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so
that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including Taxes on amounts payable to the Lender pursuant to this
sentence) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been
made,
(ii)
Guarantor
shall make such deduction or withholding,
(iii)
Guarantor
shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law,
and
(iv)
as
promptly as possible thereafter, Guarantor shall send the Lender an
official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available, such
other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Lender, as the
case may be) showing payment. In addition, Guarantor agrees to pay
any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other
excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from
any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery,
registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Guaranty or any other Transaction Document (collectively,
“
Other
Taxes
”).
SECTION 13.
Miscellaneous
.
(a)
Guarantor
will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United
States of America and in immediately available funds to the Lender,
at such address specified by the Lender from time to time by notice
to the Guarantor.
(b)
No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no
consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Guarantor, the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
(c)
No
failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any Loan Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Lender
provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Lender under any
Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or
contingent on any attempt by the Lender to exercise any of their
respective rights or remedies under any other Loan Document against
such party or against any other Person.
(d)
If
any provision of this Guaranty or any Loan Document is prohibited
by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise
be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and
enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions
of this Guaranty so long as this Guaranty as so modified continues
to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature,
invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does
not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.
The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with
a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable
provision(s).
(e)
This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full
force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall
not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date
of the Credit Notes (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its
respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure,
together with all rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and
his permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Lender may pledge,
assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document to any other Person in accordance with
the terms thereof, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the
Lender (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as
provided in the Credit Agreement or such Loan Document. None of the
rights or obligations of Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or
otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the
Lender.
(f)
This
Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire
understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not
be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or
written, entered into before the date hereof.
(g)
The
headings of this Guaranty are for convenience of reference and
shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Guaranty. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine,
feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The
terms “including,” “includes,”
“include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without
limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like
import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision
in which they are found.
SECTION 14.
Currency
Indemnity
.
If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it
becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other
currency being hereinafter in this
Section 14
referred to as the
“
Judgment
Currency
”) an amount due
under this Guaranty in any currency (the “
Obligation
Currency
”) other than the
Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a)
the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any
proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will
give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or (b) the
date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding
in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of
which such conversion is made pursuant to this
Section 14
being hereinafter in this
Section
14
referred to as the
“
Judgment Conversion
Date
”).
If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of
any jurisdiction referred to in the preceding paragraph, there is a
change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment
Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the amount due in
immediately available funds, the Guarantor shall pay such
additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as
may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the
Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the
Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount
of’ the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or
judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment
Conversion Date. Any amount due from the Guarantor under
this
Section 14
shall be due as a separate debt and
shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other
amounts due under or in respect of this
Guaranty.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be
executed by its duly authorized officer, as of the date first above
written.

terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and
to execute any instrument which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Secured Party, in its discretion, will have the right,
without notice to, or the consent of Pledgors, to do any of the
following on behalf of Pledgors:
(i)
to
pay or discharge any obligations in connection with the Collateral,
including license fees and taxes or liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral;
(ii)
to
direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral
to make payment of any and all amounts due or to become due
thereunder directly to Secured Party or as Secured Party
directs;
(iii)
to
ask for or demand, collect and receive payment of and receipt for
any payments due or to become due at any time in respect of or
arising out of any Collateral;
(iv)
to
commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or
in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any
right in respect of any Collateral;
(v)
to
defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Pledgors
with respect to any Collateral;
(vi)
to
settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding
described in subsection (v) above and, to give such discharges or
releases in connection therewith as Secured Party may deem
appropriate;
(vii)
to
assign any license or patent right included in the Collateral of a
Pledgor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such
license or patent right pertains), throughout the world for such
term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as Secured
Party in their sole discretion determine;
(viii)
to
sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral and to take, at Secured
Party’s option and Pledgors’ expense, any actions which
Secured Party deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and Secured Party’s liens on the Collateral
and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, in each case to the
same extent as if Secured Party were the absolute owners of the
Collateral for all purposes;
(ix)
to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise and all rights of Pledgors to
receive the dividends and interests which it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice,
Agent shall have the right to receive, for the benefit of the
Secured Party, any interest, cash dividends or other payments on
the Collateral and, at the option of Agent, to exercise in such
Agent’s discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with
respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner
thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange,
at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection
with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or
other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral of
Pledgors or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries;
(x)
to
assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any
part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise,
either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and
at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such
terms and conditions as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable,
all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to
Pledgors or right of redemption of a Pledgor, which are hereby
expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other
transfer of Collateral, the Secured Party, may, unless prohibited
by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part
of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all
trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of any Pledgor,
which are hereby waived and released; and
(xi)
to
sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers,
verifications, notices and other documents relating to the
Collateral.
Pledgors
hereby ratify whatever actions Secured Party lawfully does or
causes to be done in accordance with this Section 3. This power of
attorney will be a power coupled with an interest and will be
irrevocable.
(b)
No Duty on Secured Party’s
Part
. The powers conferred on Secured Party by this
Section 4 are solely to protect Secured Party’s interest
in the Collateral and do not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Secured Party will be accountable only for amounts
that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of their officers,
directors, employees or agents will, in the absence of willful
misconduct or gross negligence, be responsible to Pledgor for any
act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 3.
(c)
Application
of Proceeds
. The proceeds of
any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or
from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any
portion of the Collateral shall be applied: (i) first, to the
expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing
for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any
taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Agent in enforcing the Secured
Party’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting,
storing and disposing of the Collateral; and (ii) then to
satisfaction of the Obligations, and to the payment of any other
amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Party
shall pay to Pledgor any surplus proceeds.
(d)
No
Liability for Deficiency
. Upon the sale, license or other
disposition of the Collateral, if the proceeds thereof are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party are
legally entitled, Pledgors will not be liable for the deficiency.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgors waive all
claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out
of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral,
unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Secured Party as determined by a final judgment (not subject to
further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.
Duty
To Hold In Trust
.
Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter,
Pledgors shall, upon receipt of any revenue,
income
, dividend,
interest
or other sums subject to the Security
Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, or
of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument
evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in
trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and
transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3(c) above and if any amounts are
remaining to the Secured Party,
pro rata
in proportion to their respective then-currently
outstanding principal amount of Note for application to the
satisfaction of the Obligations.
5.
Expenses Incurred by Secured
Party
. If Pledgors fail to perform or comply with any of
their agreements or covenants contained in this Agreement, and
Secured Party performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance
or compliance, with such agreement or covenant in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, then the reasonable expenses of
Secured Party incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance will be payable by Pledgor to the Secured Parties on
demand and will constitute Obligations secured by this
Agreement.
6.
Remedies
. If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may exercise,
in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the
Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time (the
“Code”). Without limiting the foregoing, in such
circumstances, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except
any notice required by law) to or upon Pledgors or any other person
(all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby waived), Secured Party may collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon any or all of the Collateral and/or may sell, lease,
assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose
of and deliver any or all of the Collateral (or contract to do any
of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale
or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of
Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as
Secured Party may deem advisable, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Secured
Party will have the right upon any such public sale or sales and,
to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or
sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free
of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgors, which right or
equity is hereby waived or released. Subject to the provisions of
Section 4(c), Secured Party will apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale,
after deducting all reasonable expenses incurred therein or in
connection with the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or
in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured
Party under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Secured Party
may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by
Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law,
need Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgors. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgors waive all claims,
damage and demands it may acquire against Secured Party arising out
of the exercise by Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If
any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral is
required by law, such notice will be deemed reasonable and proper
if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other
disposition.
7.
Limitation on Duties Regarding
Preservation of Collateral
. The sole duty of Secured Party
with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the
Collateral, under the appropriate Code section or otherwise, will
be to deal with it in the same manner as Secured Party deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither Secured Party nor any
of its employees, affiliates or agents will be liable for failure
to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or will be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of Pledgors or otherwise.
8.
Powers Coupled with an
Interest
. All authorizations and agencies contained in this
Agreement with respect the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.
9.
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
.
Secured Party will not by any act (except by a written instrument
pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof) of delay, indulgence,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default under the
Note or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on
the part of Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder
will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. A waiver by Secured Party of any right or remedy
under this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy that Secured Party would otherwise have
on any subsequent occasion. The rights and remedies provided in
this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.
10.
Miscellaneous
.
(a)
Amendments and Waivers
. Any
term of this Agreement may only be amended by prior written consent
of Pledgors and the Secured Party. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this Section 10(a) will be binding upon all of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.
(b)
Transfer; Successors and
Assigns
. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of Pledgors and Secured Party, and their respective
successors or assigns. Pledgors may not assign any of their rights
or delegate any of their duties under this Agreement.
(c)
Governing Law
. This Agreement
will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to the laws that might be
applicable under conflicts of laws principles. Any action or
proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any
right arising out of, any of this Agreement must be brought against
any of the parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, Kent
County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the
parties consents to the jurisdiction of those courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and
waives any objection to venue laid therein. Nothing in this Section
11(c), however, affects the right of any party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law.
(d)
Counterparts
. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by
facsimile), each of which will be an original, but all of which
together will constitute one instrument.

convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or
interpreting this Agreement.
(f)
Notices
. All notices, requests
and demands to or upon the Secured Party or Pledgors hereunder
shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Credit
Agreement.
(g)
Term
.
This Agreement shall terminate on the date on
which all payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly satisfied
in full and all other Obligations have been satisfied in full or
discharged (through cash payment or conversion);
provided
,
however
,
that all indemnities of the Notes contained in this Agreement shall
survive and remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this
Agreement.
(h)
Severability
. In the event that
any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall
for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, such provision(s) shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
(i)
Entire Agreement
. This
Agreement and the other documents evidencing, securing, or relating
to the Credit Agreement constitute the entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof
and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations and
undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect
to such subject matter.
(j)
Independent Legal Counsel
.
Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC (the “
Placement Agent
”) has
retained its own legal counsel in connection with the transactions

relationship exists between the Lender and Placement Agent’s
counsel, and (ii) the Lender should seek his own advisors
(including, without limitation, legal advisors) for advice and due
diligence with respect to an investment in the Company, including
with respect to a review of this Agreement and the Loan Documents
and perfection of any security interest granted in favor of Lender
under the terms of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents.
