Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On May
14, 2020, DynaResource, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a
financing agreement with Golden Post Rail, LLC, a Texas limited
liability company and certain individual investors. A summary of
the transaction is set forth below:
1.
Pursuant to the May
14, 2020 Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) among the
Company, Golden Post Rail, LLC (the “Lead Purchaser”),
and the other parties listed on Exhibit A thereto (the
“Remaining Purchasers”):
o
Golden Post acquired the following
securities:
a)
A convertible
promissory note (the “Golden Post Note”) payable to
Golden Post in the principal amount of $2,500,000, bearing interest
at 10%, and maturing two years from the date of execution. One half
of the principal amount of Golden Post Note, or $1,250,000, has
been fully funded in accordance with an agreed-upon draw summary
and budget. The balance of the principal amount will also be funded
in accordance with agreed-upon draw summaries and the budget. The
Golden Post Note is convertible, at the option of Golden Post, into
shares of Series D Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Series D Preferred”) at a conversion price of $2.00
per share; and
b)
A common stock
purchase warrant (the “2020 Warrant”) for the purchase
of 783,976 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share, and maturing on the 10-year
anniversary of the date of issuance. The 2020 Warrant contains
anti-dilution provisions; and
o
The Remaining Purchasers acquired the
following securities:
a)
Convertible
promissory notes (the “Remaining Notes”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $1,400,000, bearing interest at 10%,
and maturing two years from the date of issuance. The Remaining
Notes have been fully funded. The Remaining Notes are convertible,
at the option of each individual Remaining Purchaser, into shares
of Series D Preferred at a conversion price of $2.00 per share;
and
b)
Common stock
purchase warrants (the “Remaining Purchasers Warrants”)
for the purchase of an aggregate of 439,026 shares of the
Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share, and maturing on the 10-year anniversary of the date of
issuance. The Remaining Purchasers Warrants contain anti-dilution
provisions.
2.
Also pursuant to
the NPA, the Company and the Lead Purchaser have agreed to amend
the common stock purchase warrant dated June 30, 2015 (the
“2015 Warrant”), issued to the Lead Purchaser in
connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as
of May 6, 2015. The 2015 Warrant contemplates the purchase, upon
exercise, of 2,166,527 shares (subject to adjustment) of the
Company’s common stock and matures June 30, 2020 (the
“Termination Date”). The amendment to the 2015 Warrant
provides that, following the expiration of the 2015 Warrant
pursuant to its terms, the Company will issue to the Lead Purchaser
a new warrant (the “New Warrant”), substantially in the
same form of the 2015 Warrant, for the number of shares of the
Company’s common stock that went unexercised on the
Termination Date, if any. The New Warrant would have a maturity
date of June 30, 2022.
As part
of the transaction contemplated by the NPA, the Company executed an
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to
which Golden Post may require the Company to register the shares of
common stock which may be issued upon (i) the conversion of the
Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C
Preferred”), (ii) the conversion of the Series D Preferred,
and (iii) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
the 2015 Warrant, the 2020 Warrant, and a compensatory warrant
issued to the Lead Purchaser on May 13, 2020 (described below under
the heading “Compensatory Issuances”), including any
additional shares of common stock issuable pursuant to
anti-dilution provisions of such securities.
Pursuant to the
transaction contemplated by the NPA, the Company has agreed to call
a special meeting of Company stockholders, to be held not later
than July 14, 2020, to solicit stockholder approval of (a) an
amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from
25,000,000 shares to 40,000,000 shares, and (b) an amendment of the
Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred, in order to
(a) extend the maturity date of the Series C Preferred by an
additional two (2) years, (ii) add an equity cap in respect of the
conversion of Series C Preferred into common stock of the Company,
and (iii) add certain restrictions on the ability of the Company to
issue Series C Preferred.
Compensatory Issuances. On May 13, 2020, one business day
prior to the NPA, the Company issued to the Lead Purchaser the
following: (i) a common stock purchase warrant for 2,306 shares, at
an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and maturing on the 7-year
anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Compensatory
Warrant”); and (ii) 1,771 shares of Series C Preferred. These
issuances were occasioned by the Company’s obligations under
the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 6,
2015.
In
order to accommodate the issuance of the additional 1,771 shares of
Series C Preferred, on May 13, 2020 the Company filed with the
Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Increase of Series
C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, to increase the number of
shares of preferred stock designated as Series C Preferred from
1,733,221 shares to 1,734,992 shares (“Certificate of
Increase”).
Also on
May 13, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of
Delaware a Certificate of Designations of the Powers, Preferences
and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of
Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions
thereof of Series D Senior Convertible Preferred Stock,
contemplating the authorization of 3,000,000 shares of Series D
Preferred (“Certificate of Designation”).
The
sale of the Golden Post Note, the Remaining Notes, the 2020
Warrant, the Remaining Purchasers Warrants, the Compensatory
Warrant, and the Series C Preferred was made pursuant to a
privately negotiated transaction that did not involve a public
offering of securities and, accordingly, the Company believes that
the transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Each
investor represented that it (A) is an “accredited
investor” and (B) has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the investor is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the securities
acquired by such investor. All of the
foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes
of the Securities Act.

payable in cash, but only out of funds that are legally available
therefore, at the per share rate of four percent (4%) per annum of

accrue from day to day commencing on the issuance date of each such
share on the basis of a 365-day year. Dividends on the Series D

dividend, or make any other distribution on any Pari Passu
Security, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or set
aside funds for the payment or redemption of any Pari Passu
Securities (except by conversion into or exchange for other Pari
Passu Securities or the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock
following its Maturity Date), unless full cumulative dividends are
declared and paid ratably on the Series D Preferred
Shares.
(c) In
the event dividends or distributions are paid on any Junior
Securities, the Corporation shall pay an additional dividend or
distribution on all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares in a per
share amount equal (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis) to
the amount paid or set aside for each share of Junior Securities.
Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently
with the dividend or distribution to the holders of the Junior
Securities.
4. Liquidation
Preference.
(a) In
the event of any Liquidation Event, the Holders of the Series D
Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive pari passu with the
Pari Passu Securities, on a pro rata basis, out of the assets of
the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders
(“Liquidation
Funds”), prior and in
preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to
the holders of Junior Securities, an amount equal to the sum of (i)
the amount of $2.00 per share (the “Preferred
Stock Original Purchase Price”) plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid
dividends on each Series D Preferred Share, in each case as
adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar
events (the “Liquidation
Preference”). If upon any such Liquidation
Event, the Liquidation Funds shall be insufficient to pay the
Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares and the holders of the
Pari Passu Securities the full amount to which they shall be
entitled, in the case of the Series D Preferred Shares, under
this Section
4(a), the Holders of
the Series D Preferred Shares and the
holders of the Pari Passu Securities shall share ratably in any
distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion
to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in
respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all
amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in
full. The Liquidation Preference to be paid to the Holders of the
Series D Preferred Shares under this Section 4(a)
on a pari passu basis with the Pari
Passu Securities shall be paid or set apart for payment before the
payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the
distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Corporation to the
holders of Junior Securities in connection with a Liquidation
Event. A Change in Control Transaction shall not,
ipso
facto, be deemed a Liquidation
Event.
(b) After
payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference, in the
case of a Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be
distributed among the Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares, the
Pari Passu Securities, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, and the holders of Common Stock, pro rata
based on the number of shares held by each such Holder or holder,
as applicable, treating for this purpose all Series D Preferred
Shares as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to
the terms of this Certificate of Designations immediately prior to
such Liquidation Event. The foregoing shall not limit any rights
which Holders may have with respect to any requirement that
the Corporation repurchase the Series D Preferred Shares
or for any right to monetary
damages.
5. Issuance
of Series D Preferred Shares. The Series D Preferred Shares shall be
issued by the Corporation pursuant to the
Note(s).
6. Optional
Conversion by the Holders. Each Holder shall have the right at
any time and from time to time, at the option of such Holder and
without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder, to
convert all or any portion of the Series D Preferred Shares held by
such Holder, for such number of Common Shares per each Series D
Preferred Share, free and clear of any liens, claims or
encumbrances, as is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the
Preferred Stock Original Purchase Price plus (B) any accrued but
unpaid dividends on such Series D Preferred Share by (ii) the
Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect on the Conversion
Date (as defined below). Immediately following such
conversion, the persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon
the conversion of Series D Preferred Shares shall be treated for
all purposes as having become the owners of such Common Shares,
subject to the rights provided herein to Holders. The
term “Conversion
Price” means $2.00 per
share, subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
(a) Delivery
of Conversion Notice. To convert Series D Preferred Shares into Common
Shares on any date (a “Conversion
Date”), the Holder shall
give written notice (a “Conversion
Notice”) to the
Corporation in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (which Conversion Notice will
be given by facsimile transmission, e-mail or other electronic
means no later than 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on such date, and
sent via overnight delivery no later than one (1) Trading Day after
such date) stating that such Holder elects to convert the same and
shall state therein the number of Series D Preferred Shares to be
converted and the name or names in which such Holder wishes the
certificate or certificates for Common Shares to be
issued. If required by Section
11, as soon as possible after
delivery of the Conversion Notice, such Holder shall surrender the
certificate or certificates representing the Series D Preferred
Shares being converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation.
(b) Mechanics
of Conversion. The
Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of a Conversion Notice
(but in any event not less than one (1) Trading Day after receipt
of such Conversion Notice), (i) send, via facsimile, e-mail or
other electronic means a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion
Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation
shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process
such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (ii)
on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of
receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice (the
“Share
Delivery Date”), credit
such aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be
entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)
via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. If
the number of Series D Preferred Shares represented by the
Preferred Stock certificate(s) delivered to the Corporation in
connection with a Conversion Notice, to the extent required
by Section 11
or to the extent otherwise requested
by the Holder, is greater than the number of Series D Preferred
Shares being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after receipt of such Preferred Stock certificate(s) and at its own
expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock
certificate representing the number of Series D Preferred Shares
not converted. The person or persons entitled to receive
the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Series D Preferred
Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion
Date.
The Corporation’s
obligation to issue Common Shares upon conversion of Series D
Preferred Shares shall, except as set forth below, be absolute, is
independent of any covenant of any Holder, and shall not be subject
to: (i) any offset or defense; or (ii) any claims
against the Holders of Series D Preferred Shares whether pursuant
to this Certificate of Designations, the Purchase Agreement, the
Note(s), the Warrants or otherwise, including, without limitation,
any claims arising out of any selling or short-selling activity by
Holders.
(c) Corporation’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If the Corporation fails to cause the
Transfer Agent by the Share Delivery Date to transmit to a Holder
of Series D Preferred Shares the number of Common Shares to which
such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of
Series D Preferred Shares, then in addition to all other available
remedies which such Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Note
or the Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to
the terms thereof), the Corporation shall pay additional damages to
such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such
conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent
(1%) of the product of (i) the sum of the number of Common Shares
not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and
to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the applicable
Conversion Notice and the terms of this Certificate of
Designations, and (ii) the Closing Sale Price (as defined below) of
the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, but in no event in
excess of eighteen percent (18.0%). In addition to the foregoing,
if on the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation shall fail to credit
such Holder’s balance account with DTC, then such Holder will
have the right to rescind the Conversion Notice. In addition to the
foregoing and any other rights available to a Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares, if the Corporation fails on or before the Share
Delivery Date to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to a Holder
the number of Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon
such Holder’s conversion of Series D Preferred Shares, and if
after such date such Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise), or such
Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder which
such Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”),
then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder the
amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of shares of Common Shares that the
Corporation was required to deliver to such Holder in connection
with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at
the option of such Holder, either allow such Holder to rescind the
Conversion Notice or deliver to such Holder the number of Common
Shares that would have been issued had the Corporation timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For
example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of Series D Preferred Shares with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of
$10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence,
the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. Such
Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the
amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon
request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss.
Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s
failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon conversion of Series D
Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
The term “Closing
Sale Price” means the
last closing trade price for the Common Shares on the electronic
bulletin board for the Common Shares as reported by Bloomberg, or,
if the Common Shares become listed on a Trading Market, on such
trading Market, of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City
Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the foregoing do not apply
or if no last trade price is reported for such security by
Bloomberg, the highest bid price as reported on the “pink
sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation
Bureau, Inc.) at the close of trading. If the Closing
Sale Price cannot be calculated for the Common Shares on a
particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale
Price of the Common Shares on such date shall be the fair market
value as mutually determined by the Corporation and the
Holder. All such determinations to be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or
other similar transaction during the applicable calculation
period.
(d) Adjustments
to the Conversion Price.
(i) Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time
or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date effect a stock
split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be
proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at
any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date,
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination
shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments
under this Section 6(d)(i)
shall be effective at the close of
business on the date the stock split or combination
occurs.
(ii) Adjustments
for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation shall at any time
or from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date make or
issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Shares then, and in each event, the applicable
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such
record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on
such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price
then in effect by a fraction:
(A) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date;
and
(B) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the
number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution.
(iii) Adjustment
for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation shall at any time
or from time to time on or after the Initial Issuance Date make or
issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a non-cash dividend or other
distribution payable in securities or property other than Common
Shares, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the
applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be
made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that
the Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive upon
conversions thereof, in addition to the number of Common Shares
receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Corporation or
other issuer (as applicable) or other property that they would have
received had the Series D Preferred Shares been converted into
Common Shares on the date of such event (provided,
however,
that, to the extent the right of a Holder of Series D Preferred
Shares to participate in any such Distribution would result in such
Holder of Series D Preferred Shares exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such
extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a
result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such
Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such
Holder of Series D Preferred Shares until such time, if ever, as
its right thereto would not result in such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(iv) Adjustments for Issuance of
Additional Equity Securities of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall
issue or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
including, without limitation, (i) the issuance of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents in settlement or resolution (by judgment
or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation (other
than (A) as provided in Section 6(d)(i)
through (iii)
or (B) Excluded Securities), and (ii)
the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any
Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, or if, after any
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issued thereafter is
amended or adjusted such that more shares of Common Stock are
issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents, then the applicable
Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be
adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price according to the following
equation:
where:
A =
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to
the issuance (or immediately prior to such amendment or adjustment,
as applicable) on a fully-diluted basis;
B =
the number of new shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents issued (or effectively issued pursuant to such
amendment or adjustment, as applicable), on a fully-diluted
basis;
C =
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which all
outstanding Series D Preferred Shares are convertible prior to the
issuance; and
X =
the number by which to multiply the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the issuance.
No adjustment shall be made under this
Section
6(d)(iv) upon the issuance of
any Additional Shares which are issued pursuant to the exercise,
conversion or exchange rights under any Common Stock Equivalents,
if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of
any warrant or other rights therefore) pursuant to this
Section
6(d)(iv).
For purposes of the foregoing, in the case of the
sale or issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents or in the case
that any Common Stock Equivalents are amended and adjusted as
provided in this Section
6(d)(iv), the maximum number of
Additional Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of
such Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to be outstanding at
the time of such sale or issuance or amendment or adjustment, as
the case may be, and no further adjustment shall be made to the
Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares
pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common
Stock Equivalents.
In
the event the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of
preferred stock of the Corporation that are not convertible into
Common Stock, then an appropriate adjustment to the securities to
be received upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares (by
adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) shall be made, as
the Holders and the Corporation shall mutually agree.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that a Holder of
Series D Preferred Shares’ right to participate in any such
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would
result in such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to participate in such
issuance to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of
Common Stock as a result of such issuance to such extent) and such
issuance to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder
of Series D Preferred Shares until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in such Holder of Series D Preferred
Shares exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(v) Certain
Issues Excepted. There shall be no adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section
6(d)(iv) with respect to the
sale or issuance of Excluded Securities.
(vi) Adjustments
for Issuance of Additional Equity Securities of
Subsidiary. In the
event (i) the Corporation’s ownership of DynaMexico Shares
shall decrease (by forfeiture or shifting of ownership or
otherwise) or (ii) DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the
“Mexican
Subsidiary”) shall issue
or sell any DynaMexico Shares or DynaMexico Share Equivalents to
any person other than the Corporation, in each case including,
without limitation, as a result of the settlement or resolution (by
judgment or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation,
then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such decrease or
issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest
cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price according to
the following equation:
where:
A =
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to
the change in ownership of the Mexican Subsidiary on a
fully-diluted basis;
B =
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which all
outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible
prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican
Subsidiary;
C =
the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the
Corporation following the change in ownership of the Mexican
Subsidiary;
D =
the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary
outstanding following the change in ownership of the Mexican
Subsidiary;
E =
the number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the
Corporation prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican
Subsidiary;
F =
the aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary
outstanding prior to the change in ownership of the Mexican
Subsidiary; and
X = the number by which to multiply the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the change in ownership of the
Mexican Subsidiary; provided, however, that if X is less than or equal to zero
(0), then X shall equal .001.
No adjustment shall be made under this
Section
6(d)(vi) upon the issuance of
any additional DynaMexico Shares which are issued pursuant to the
exercise, conversion or exchange rights under any DynaMexico Share
Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made
upon the issuance of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents (or upon the
issuance of any warrant or other rights therefore) pursuant to
this Section
6(d)(vi).
For purposes of the foregoing, in the case of the
sale or issuance of any DynaMexico Share Equivalents or in the case
that any DynaMexico Share Equivalents are amended and adjusted as
provided in this Section
6(d)(vi), the maximum number of
additional DynaMexico Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or
exercise of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents shall be deemed to be
outstanding at the time of such sale or issuance or amendment or
adjustment, as the case may be, and no further adjustment shall be
made to the Conversion Price upon the actual issuance of additional
DynaMexico Shares pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange
of such DynaMexico Share Equivalents.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that a Holder of
Series D Preferred Shares’ right to participate in any such
issuance of any DynaMexico Shares or DynaMexico Share Equivalents
would result in such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to participate in such
issuance to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such DynaMexico
Shares as a result of such issuance to such extent) and such
issuance to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder
of Series D Preferred Shares until such time, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in such Holder of Series D Preferred
Shares exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(e) Notice
of Record Date. In
the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record date of the
holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or
other distribution, any security or right convertible into or
entitling the holder thereof to receive additional Common Shares,
or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property,
or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall deliver to
each Holder at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified
therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
security or right and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution, security or right.
(f) Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock,
solely for the purposes of effecting the conversion and/or
redemption of the Series D Preferred Shares, an amount of shares of
Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares at the current
Conversion Price (the “Required
Reserve Amount”). If at any time while any of
the Series D Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Corporation
does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved
shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for
issuance upon conversion and/or redemption of the Series D
Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized
Share Failure”), then the
Corporation shall promptly take all action necessary to increase
the Corporation’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an
amount sufficient to allow the Corporation to reserve the Required
Reserve Amount for the Series D Preferred Shares then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the
occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later
than sixty (60) days (or the lesser of (i) ninety (90) days if the
proxy statement is reviewed by the staff of the SEC or (ii) ten
(10) days after the staff of the SEC indicates that it has no
further comments to such proxy statement) after the occurrence of
such Authorized Share Failure (the “Meeting
Outside Date”), the
Corporation shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the
approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the
Corporation shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement
and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its
stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares
of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to
the stockholders that they approve such
proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at such time
of an Authorized Share Failure, the Corporation is able to obtain
the necessary consent of the holders of its capital stock to
approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock, the Corporation may satisfy this obligation by obtaining
such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information
Statement on Schedule 14C.
(g) Fractional
Shares. No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series
D Preferred Shares. All Common Shares (including
fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one Series
D Preferred Share by a Holder thereof and all Series D Preferred
Shares issuable upon the purchase thereof shall be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether the conversion and/or purchase
would result in the issuance of any fractional
share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the
conversion and/or purchase would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu
of issuing any fractional share, either round up the number of
shares to the next highest whole number or, at the
Corporation’s option, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to
such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such
fraction on the Conversion Date (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation).
(h) Reorganization,
Merger or Going Private. In case of any reorganization or any
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation or any
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
corporation or corporations or a sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other
person or a “going private” transaction under Rule
13e-3 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, then, as part of
such reorganization, consolidation, merger, or transfer if the
holders of shares of Common Stock receive any publicly traded
securities as part or all of the consideration for such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale,
then it shall be a condition precedent of any such event or
transaction that provision shall be made such that each Series D
Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible into such new
securities at a conversion price and pricing formula which places
the Holders of Series D Preferred Shares in an economically
equivalent position as they would have been if not for such
event. The Corporation shall give each Holder written
notice at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of
any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale.
(i) Certificate
for Conversion Price Adjustment. The Corporation shall promptly furnish
or cause to be furnished to each Holder a certificate prepared by
the Corporation setting forth any adjustments or readjustments of
the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section
6.
(j) Conversion
Limitations. The Company shall
not effect any conversion of Series D Preferred Shares, and a
Holder of Series D Preferred Shares shall not have the right to
convert any portion of its Series D Preferred Shares, pursuant to
this Section
6, to the extent that after
giving effect to such conversion as set forth in this
Section
6, the Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares (together with its Affiliates, and any other
persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of its
Affiliates (such persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
(as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder of Series
D Preferred Shares and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall
include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any
Series D Preferred Shares, but shall exclude the number of Common
Shares which would be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the
Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by
such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares or any of its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section
6(j), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by each Holder of Series D Preferred Shares
that the Company is not representing to such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares is solely responsible for any schedules required
to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 6(j)
applies, the determination of whether
the Series D Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder of such Series D Preferred Shares
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of the Series D Preferred Shares is convertible shall be in
the sole discretion of the Holder of such Series D Preferred
Shares, and the submission of any Conversion Notice shall be deemed
to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Series D
Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities
owned by such Holder together with its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties) and of which portion of such Series D Preferred Shares is
convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
this Section
6(j), in determining the number
of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder of Series D Preferred Shares
may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in
(A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or transfer agent setting forth the number of Common
Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder of
Series D Preferred Shares, the Company shall within one Business
Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In
any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of
securities of the Company, including Series D Preferred Shares,
held by such Holder and/or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares
was reported. The “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation”
shall be 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the conversion of Series D
Preferred Shares for Common Shares. Each Holder of Series D
Preferred Shares, upon notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of
this Section
6(j); provided,
that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99%
of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares held by
such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares and the provisions of
this Section 6(j)
shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until
the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in
a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 6(j)
to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of any Series D
Preferred Shares.
7. Mandatory
Repurchase. If any of the events set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) below shall have occurred or are
continuing, each Holder shall have the unilateral option and right
to compel the Corporation to repurchase for cash any or all of such
Holder’s Series D Preferred Shares within three (3) days of a
written notice requiring such repurchase (provided that no such
written notice shall be required for clauses (ii) and (iii) below
and such demand for repurchase shall be deemed automatically made
upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in such clauses
(ii) and (iii) below), at an amount per share equal to the greater
of: (i) the sum of (A) the Preferred Stock Original Purchase Price
plus (B) all accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series D
Preferred Share, in each case as adjusted for any stock dividends,
splits, combinations and similar events, or (ii) an amount equal to
the per share amount the Holders of Series D Preferred Shares would
have received upon a theoretical Liquidation Event occurring at the
time of the Holder’s exercise of the repurchase option
pursuant to this Section 7
had such Holders converted their
Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately preceding
such theoretical Liquidation Event (such greater amount, the
“Repurchase
Price”):
(i) it
is a date later than the Maturity Date;
(ii) the
entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Corporation or
any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Corporation or any Subsidiary
under any applicable federal or state law or (iii) appointing a

or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or

or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable

assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in
writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or the taking of corporate action by the Corporation or any
Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action.
8. Voting
Rights; Directors.
(a) Each
Holder of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the
number of votes equal to the number of Common Shares into which
such Series D Preferred Shares could be converted and shall have
voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of
the Common Stock (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or
as required by law, voting together with the Common Stock as a
single class) and shall be entitled to notice of any
stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the
Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and
any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula
(after aggregating all shares into which Series D Preferred
Shares held by each Holder could be converted) shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole number.
(b) The
Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven (7) members.
If at any time the holders of Series C Preferred Shares do not have
the right to elect a director or there are no Series C Preferred
Shares outstanding, the Required Holders shall be entitled to elect
one (1) member of the Board of Directors at each meeting or
pursuant to each written consent of the Corporation’s
stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from
office such director and to fill any vacancy caused by the
resignation, death or removal of such director. The remaining
directors shall be elected as provided in the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the Initial Issuance
Date.
(c) In
addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote
or written consent of the Holders of a greater number of shares is
required by law or by another provision of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting
duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a
meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class,
shall be required before the Corporation may:
(i) amend
or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, this
Certificate of Designations, the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any articles of amendment,
certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative
rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would
adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or
powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series D
Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by
means of amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or
otherwise;
(ii) increase
or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of
shares of Series D Preferred Shares (for the avoidance of doubt,
the Corporation may increase or decrease the number of authorized
shares of undesignated “blank check” preferred
stock);
(iii) create
or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or
series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with
the Series D Preferred Shares with respect to dividends or the
distribution of assets on a Liquidation Event;
(iv) declare
or pay a dividend or other distribution with respect to any shares
of the Corporation’s capital stock, including, without
limitation, any Pari Passu Security and/or any Junior
Security;
(v) purchase,
repurchase or redeem any Junior Security;
(vi) whether
or not prohibited by the terms of the Series D Preferred Shares,
circumvent a right of the Series D Preferred
Shares;
(vii) effect
a Liquidation Event (other than a Change in Control
Transaction);
(viii) enter
into any contract or other arrangement to do any of the foregoing.
In addition, so long as the Primary Investor holds any Series D
Preferred Shares, except where the vote or written consent of the
Holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by
another provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for
such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the
Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be
required before the Corporation may effect a Restricted Change in
Control Transaction; or
(ix) issue
or authorize the issuance of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock
to any entity or person, except to the extent such shares of Series
D Preferred Stock are issued by the Company to any holder of the
Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) upon conversion of
such Notes in accordance with their respective
terms.
9. Preemptive
Rights.
(a) Except
for the issuance of Excluded Securities or pursuant to the
conversion or exercise of any Equity Security outstanding on the
Initial Issuance Date, if, following the Initial Issuance Date, the
Corporation authorizes the issuance or sale of any Equity
Securities to any person or entity (including any stockholder of
the Corporation) (the “Offeree”),
the Corporation shall first offer to sell to the Qualified
Stockholders a portion of such Equity Securities equal to the
quotient determined by dividing (1) the number of Common Shares
held by such Qualified Stockholder at such time (which are not or
would not be subject to vesting or repurchase in favor of the
Corporation as of or prior to the consummation of such issuance or
sale) on a fully-diluted and as-if converted basis, by (2) the
total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance on a fully-diluted and as-if
converted basis. The Qualified Stockholders shall be entitled to
purchase such Equity Securities at the same price as such Equity
Securities are to be offered to the Offeree; provided that if the Offeree is required to also purchase
other Equity Securities, the Qualified Stockholders shall also be
required to purchase the same Equity Securities (at the same price)
that the Offeree is required to purchase. The Qualified
Stockholders electing to purchase their pro-rata share
(“Participating
Stockholders”) will take
all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the purchase transactions contemplated by
this Section 9
as requested by the Board of
Directors, including the execution of all agreements, documents and
instruments in connection therewith in the form presented by the
Corporation, so long as such agreements, documents and instruments
do not require such Participating Stockholders to make more
burdensome representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities
than those required of the Offeree in the agreements, documents or
instruments in connection with such transaction. If any Qualified
Stockholder elects not to purchase any such securities, or not to
purchase all of such Qualified Stockholder’s pro-rata
portion, each other Qualified Stockholder who has elected to
purchase all of such Qualified Stockholder’s full pro-rata
portion (a “Fully
Participating Stockholder”) shall be entitled to purchase an
additional number of shares of such Equity Securities. If more than
one Fully Participating Stockholder desires to purchase such Equity
Securities in excess of the portion allocated to such Fully
Participating Stockholder pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section
9(a), then each such Fully
Participating Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase up to all
of such available Equity Securities. If there is an
oversubscription in respect of such remaining Equity Securities,
the oversubscribed amount shall be fully allocated among the Fully
Participating Stockholders pro rata based on such Fully
Participating Stockholders’ relative proportionate ownership
of all Common Shares on a fully-diluted and as-if converted
basis; provided,
that, to the extent a Fully Participating Stockholder is entitled
to oversubscription rights in respect of such Fully Participating
Stockholder’s ownership of any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation (other than Series D Preferred Shares), the
oversubscription rights set forth in this Section 9(a)
shall be deemed to include the
oversubscription rights in respect of such other shares of capital
stock of the Corporation and, satisfaction of the oversubscription
rights set forth herein, shall be deemed satisfaction of the
oversubscription rights in respect of such other shares of capital
stock of the Corporation (it being understood, however, that for
purposes of determining the Fully Participating Stockholder’s
pro rata portion of the remaining Equity Securities, such other
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to
oversubscription rights shall be included in the calculation of the
numerator and denominator).
(b) In
order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, a Qualified
Stockholder must, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written
notice from the Corporation describing the Equity Securities being
offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such
Qualified Stockholder’s percentage allotment, deliver a
written notice to the Corporation describing its election hereunder
(which election shall be absolute and
unconditional).
(c) During
the 90 days following the expiration of the offering period
described above, the Corporation shall be entitled to sell such
Equity Securities which the Qualified Stockholders have not elected
to purchase to the Offeree at no less than the purchase price
stated in the notice provided under Section 9(b)
hereunder. Any Equity Securities
proposed to be offered or sold by the Corporation to the Offeree
after such 90-day period, or at a price not complying with the
immediate preceding sentence, must be reoffered to the Qualified
Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Section 9
prior to any sale to the
Offeree.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Board of Directors (with the prior approval
of the Required Holders) determines that it should, in the best
interests of the Corporation, issue Equity Securities of the
Corporation which would otherwise be required to be offered to the
Qualified Stockholders under this Section 9
prior to their issuance, it may issue
such Equity Securities without first complying with this
Section
9; provided that within sixty (60) days after such issuance,
it offers each Qualified Stockholder the opportunity to purchase
the number of shares of such Equity Securities that such Qualified
Stockholder would be entitled to purchase pursuant to this
Section
9.
10. Rank. The
Series D Preferred Shares shall be of equal rank, without
preference or priority, with respect to the Pari Passu Securities
as to dividend rights or rights upon a Liquidation Event. All
shares of Junior Securities shall be of junior rank to all Series D
Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends,
distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event. The
rights of the shares of Junior Securities shall be subject to the
preferences and relative rights of the Series D Preferred
Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the
Required Holders, the Corporation shall not hereafter authorize or
issue additional or other capital stock that is of senior or
pari-passu rank to the Series D Preferred Shares in respect of the
preferences as to dividends and other distributions, amortization
and redemption payments and payments upon Liquidation
Event. The Corporation shall be permitted to issue
preferred stock that is junior in rank to the Series D Preferred
Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other
distributions, amortization and redemption payments and payments
upon Liquidation Event, provided, that the maturity date (or any other date
requiring redemption, repayment or any other payment, including,
without limitation, dividends in respect of any such preferred
shares) of any such junior preferred shares is not on or before
ninety-one (91) days after the Maturity Date. In the
event of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or
into another corporation, the Series D Preferred Shares shall
maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences
provided for herein (except that the Series D Preferred Shares may
not be pari
passu with, or junior to, any
capital stock of the successor entity) and no merger shall have a
result inconsistent therewith.
11. Book-Entry. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or
redemption of Series D Preferred Shares in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to
physically surrender the certificate representing the Series D
Preferred Shares to the Corporation unless (A) the full or
remaining number of Series D Preferred Shares represented by the
certificate are being converted or redeemed or (B) such Holder has
provided the Corporation with prior written notice requesting
reissuance of Series D Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of
any Series D Preferred Shares. Each Holder and the
Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of Series D
Preferred Shares so converted or redeemed and the dates of such
conversions or redemptions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Series D Preferred Shares represented by a
certificate are converted or redeemed as aforesaid, a Holder may
not transfer the certificate representing the Series D Preferred
Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the
certificate representing the Series D Preferred Shares to the
Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and
deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like
tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the
aggregate the remaining number of Series D Preferred Shares
represented by such certificate. A Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledges and agrees
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion or redemption of any Series D Preferred Shares, the
number of Series D Preferred Shares represented by such certificate
will be less than the number of Series D Preferred Shares stated on
the face thereof. Each certificate for Series D
Preferred Shares shall bear the following
legend:
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE
TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES D SENIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE NUMBER OF
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER
OF SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF
DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE.
12. Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments made by the Corporation hereunder, including any
amounts received on a conversion or redemption of the Series D
Preferred Shares and any amounts on account of dividends or deemed
dividends, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a
Tax Deduction is required by law. If the Corporation is aware that
it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate
or the basis of a Tax Deduction) in respect of any payment to any
Holder, it must notify such Holder
promptly.
(b) If
a Tax Deduction for Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (as defined
below) is required to be made by the Corporation with respect to
any payment to any Holder, the amount of the payment made by the
Corporation will be increased to an amount which (after making the
Tax Deduction, including any Tax Deduction applicable to additional
sums payable pursuant to this Section
12(b)) results in the receipt
by such Holder of an amount equal to the payment which would have
been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. If the
Corporation is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make any
payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the
time allowed by law. As soon as practicable after making
a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax
Deduction, the Corporation must deliver to the Holder any official
receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing
authority to whom the Tax Deduction was
paid. “Excluded
Taxes” means (a) Taxes
imposed on or measured by the Holder’s net income (however
denominated), and franchise Taxes imposed on the Holder (in lieu of
net income Taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Holder is a
citizen or resident, under the laws of which such Holder is
organized, in which the Holder’s principal office is located,
or in which the Holder is otherwise doing business, (b) any branch
profits Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any
similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the
Corporation is located, (c) in the case of a non-US Holder, any
withholding Tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such non-US
Holder at the time such non-US Holder becomes a Holder (or at such
time that such Holder changes its citizenship, residence, place of
organization, principal office, or location where doing business)
or is attributable to such non-US Holder’s failure or
inability to comply with any applicable documentation requirements
or to provide any documents or certifications that are reasonably
requested by the Corporation, and (d) in the case of any Holder,
any withholding Tax (including any backup withholding tax) that is
imposed on amounts payable to such Holder that is attributable to
such Holder’s failure or inability to comply with any
applicable documentation requirements or to provide any documents
or certifications that are reasonably requested by the
Corporation.
(c) In
addition, the Corporation agrees to pay in accordance with
applicable law 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 in connection with the
execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or otherwise
with respect to, the Series D Preferred Shares other than income
taxes (“Other
Taxes”). As
soon as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the
Corporation must deliver to such Holder any official receipt or
form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to
whom such Other Taxes were paid.
(d) The
obligations of the Corporation under this Section 12
shall survive the Maturity Date of the
Series D Preferred Shares and the payment for the Series D
Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
13. Notices. The
Corporation shall distribute to the Holders of Series D Preferred
Shares copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly
reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other
documents distributed generally to the holders of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation, at such times and by such method as such
documents are distributed to such holders of such Common
Stock.
14. Replacement
Certificates. The certificate(s) representing the
Series D Preferred Shares held by any Holder may be exchanged by
such Holder at any time and from time to time for certificates with
different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of
Series D Preferred Shares, as reasonably requested by such Holder,
upon surrendering the same. No service charge will be
made for such registration or transfer or
exchange.
15. Attorneys’
Fees.
In connection with enforcement by a
Holder of any obligation of the Corporation hereunder, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses
incurred.
16. No
Reissuance. No Series D Preferred Shares acquired
by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or
otherwise shall be reissued. Series D Preferred Shares
issued and reacquired by the Corporation, whether upon redemption,
conversion or otherwise, shall have the status of authorized and
unissued undesignated shares of “blank check” preferred
stock.
17. Severability
of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation
of the Series D Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of
Designations (as this Certificate of Designations may be amended
from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being
enforced by reason of any rule or law or public policy, all other
rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this Certificate
of Designations, which can be given effect without the invalid,
unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and no right,
preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent
upon any such other right, preference or limitation unless so
expressed herein.
18. Limitations. Except
as may otherwise be required by law and as may be set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and/or the Note, the Series D Preferred Shares
shall not have any powers, preference or relative participating,
optional or other special rights other than those specifically set
forth in this Certificate of Designations (as may be amended from
time to time) or otherwise in the Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation.
19. Payments. Any
payments required to be made to the Holders in cash hereunder,
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds.

written notice from the Company of any Company Sale.

written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which majority shall
include Holder for so long as Holder holds any Notes (collectively,
the “Requisite
Holders”). No such waiver or consent in any one
instance shall be construed to be a continuing waiver or a waiver
in any other instance unless it expressly so provides. No delay or
omission on the part of the Holder in exercising any right under
this Note shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other
right of the Holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any
one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other
right on any future occasion.
8. No Rights as a Stockholder.
This Note does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the
absence of conversion of this Note, no provisions of this Note, and
no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder,
shall cause the Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any
purpose.
9. Ranking. The Notes shall rank
equally without preference or priority of any kind over one
another, and all payments on account of principal and interest with
respect to any of the Notes shall be applied ratably and
proportionately on all outstanding Notes on the basis of the
original principal amount of outstanding Notes. While the Notes are
outstanding, the Company shall not issue any convertible debt
security that is, or amend any existing convertible indebtedness
such that it is, senior or pari passu to the Notes in right of
payment without the Requisite Holders’ prior written
consent.
10. Waivers. The Company hereby

fees.
12. Counterparts. This Note may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original and all of which together will constitute
a single agreement.

shall mean 9:30 a.m. to 3:59 p.m. on any day on which the Common
Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board or a securities exchange, or, if the Common Stock is
not so traded, a Business Day.
“Trading
Market” means any of the following markets or
exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading
on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital
Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to
any of the foregoing).
“VWAP” shall
mean the dollar volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock
on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board, or
if the Common Stock becomes listed on an exchange, such exchange,
during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York City time,
and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by
Bloomberg. If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on
such date on the foregoing basis, the VWAP of the Common Stock on
such date shall be the last reported closing sales price for such
date. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for
any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar transactions during the relevant
period.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise
price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(i) This Warrant may
also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a
“cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive, and the Company shall issue to such Holder, a
number of Warrant Shares computed using the following
formula:
X
= Y
(A - B)
A
Where:
X = The
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon exercise
of this Warrant.
Y = The
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is
being exercised (at the date of such calculation).
A = The
fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation).
B = The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
(ii) For
purposes of this Section
2(c), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on
the date of calculation shall mean:
1.
the VWAP on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice
of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (A) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day
that is not a Trading Day or (B) both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of
“regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68)
of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on
such Trading Day,
2.
at the option of
the Holder, either (A) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (B) the
Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as
reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on
a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter
(including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof,
or
3.
the VWAP on the
date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such
Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is
both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the
close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading
Day.
(iii) If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties
acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the
characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding
period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the
holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not
to take any position contrary to this
Section 2(c).
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this
Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section
2(c).
(d)
Mechanics of
Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a
Notice of Exercise (but in any event, not less than one (1) Trading
Day after receipt of such Notice of Exercise), (i) send, via
facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, a confirmation of
receipt of such Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the
Company’s transfer agent, which confirmation shall constitute
an instruction to the Company’s transfer agent to process
such Notice of Exercise in accordance with the terms herein, and
(ii) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date
of receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise and the
aggregate Exercise Price (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall credit the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to such
Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system (“DWAC”) if the
Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there
is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of
the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the
Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without the
need for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (“Rule 144”)
(assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in such
Notice of Exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder
or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for
all purposes, as of the date this Warrant has been exercised, with
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required
to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the
issuance of such Warrant Shares, having been paid (except in the
case of cashless exercise of this Warrant, in which case, no
payment shall be required). If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to a Notice of
Exercise following receipt of the Exercise Price by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP on the
date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing up to a maximum of $180 for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise) for each Trading Day after such
Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered
or Holder rescinds such exercise.
(ii) Delivery
of New Warrant Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
(iii) Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind
such exercise.
(iv) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise
on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then
the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any,
by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and the equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant
Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of
a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to the next whole share.
(vi) Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant
Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the
Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, that in the event
that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name
of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the
Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax
incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees
required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vii) Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e) Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and
(ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and
Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or
Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 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. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to
apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity
with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or
any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i)
makes or issues or sets a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Common Stock, (ii) makes or issues or sets
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities or property other than Common Stock, (iii) effects a
stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iv)
combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each case
the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Reserved.
(d) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to
all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase
Rights”), then, upon any
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder
had held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale
of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be
determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided,
however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in
any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or
beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall
hold such Purchase Rights for the benefit of the Holder until the
Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion
thereof.
(e) Pro Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (a “Distribution”),
then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had
held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Warrant, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for
the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in
any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in
the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result
of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such
Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation). For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall hold
such Distribution for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder
exercises this Warrant or any portion thereof.
(f) Fundamental Transaction. If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (iii) the Company’s board of
directors gives its consent to a transaction whereby an individual
or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule
13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) acquires effective
control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital
stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50%
of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of
conversion or exercise of the Series C Preferred, the Note (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), that certain Common Stock
Purchase Warrant (for 2,166,527 shares), dated June 30, 2015, of
the Company held by Holder, that certain Common Stock Purchase
Warrant (for 2,306 shares), dated May 13, 2020, of the Company held
by Holder, or this Warrant), provided, this clause (iii) does not
include an unsolicited takeover bid, (iv) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of
Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making
or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise,
the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the
Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the
Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with,
or within thirty (30) calendar days after, the consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, purchase this
Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of
cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes
Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the
Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the
“OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the
calendar day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date,
(B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of
the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price
per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price
per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any
non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental
Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of
the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which
is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to
the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for
the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(g) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section
3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th
of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares
of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given
date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding.
(h) Notice to Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3,
the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting
forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(ii) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, (E) the
Company shall otherwise effect a Fundamental Transaction, or (F)
the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed
to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 20
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date
on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the
Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on
the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set
forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject to
compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions
set forth in Section
4(d) hereof and to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or
in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company or its designated agent, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and
funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making
of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new
Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and
this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to
the Company within two (2) Trading Days of the date the Holder
delivers the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B
to the Company assigning this Warrant
in full. This
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares
without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a) as to any transfer
which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for
this Warrant or the Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated as of the Initial Issuance Date and
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company
shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof
from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
(d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the
time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of
this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws or (ii) exempt from registration under the Securities
Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, comply with the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as
expressly set forth in Section 3.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation
of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such
right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(d) Authorized Shares. The Company
covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may
be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by
the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any
Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder
acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize
cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by
state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder
terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall
pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant
hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices. Any notice, request or
other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to
the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(i) Limitation of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the
Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in
any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the
Holder.
(l) Amendment. Any provision of
this Warrant may be waived by the Holder in writing, which waiver
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended by a written
instrument executed by the Company and the Holder, which amendment
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns.
(m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.
(n) Headings. The headings used in
this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall
not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
(o) WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
INVOLVING OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS WARRANT.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
DYNARESOURCE, INC.
Warrant
Shares: _______
|
Initial Issuance
Date: May __, 2020
|
THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, __________________ or its assigns (the
“Holder”) is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise
and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Issuance
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the
10-year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the
“Termination
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and
purchase from DYNARESOURCE,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up
to __________ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
“Warrant
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under
this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in
Section
2(b).
This
Warrant is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Note
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May [___], 2020 (the
“Purchase
Agreement”).
Section
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Section
2. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) Manner
of Exercise.
(i) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in
whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Issuance Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to
the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the
address of the Holder appearing on the Warrant Register (as defined
below) of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or electronic
copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A and
within two (2) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby
purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a
United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified
in Section 2(c)
below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No
ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of
any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to
physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and
this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder
shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
two (2) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant
resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant
Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the
outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of
Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise
within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of
this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion
of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than
the amount stated on the face hereof.
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the
following clauses that applies: (A) if the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common
Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on
the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
(based on a Trading Day from 9:30:01 a.m. (New York City time) to
4:00:00 p.m. (New York City time)), (B) if OTCQB or OTCQX is
not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the
Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB
or OTCQX as applicable, (C) if the Common Stock is not then listed
or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the
Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the
Common Stock so reported, or (D) in all other cases, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an
independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of
which shall be paid by the Company.
“Business Day”
shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which commercial banks in the City of New York are in fact
closed.
“Trading Day”
shall mean 9:30 a.m. to 3:59 p.m. on any day on which the Common
Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board or a securities exchange, or, if the Common Stock is
not so traded, a Business Day.
“Trading
Market” means any of the following markets or
exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading
on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital
Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to
any of the foregoing).
“VWAP” shall
mean the dollar volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock
on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board, or
if the Common Stock becomes listed on an exchange, such exchange,
during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York City time,
and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by
Bloomberg. If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on
such date on the foregoing basis, the VWAP of the Common Stock on
such date shall be the last reported closing sales price for such
date. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for
any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar transactions during the relevant
period.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise
price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject
to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(i) This Warrant may
also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a
“cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be
entitled to receive, and the Company shall issue to such Holder, a
number of Warrant Shares computed using the following
formula:
X
= Y
(A - B)
A
Where:
X = The
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon exercise
of this Warrant.
Y = The
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is
being exercised (at the date of such calculation).
A = The
fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such
calculation).
B = The
Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
calculation).
(ii) For
purposes of this Section
2(c), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on
the date of calculation shall mean:
1.
the VWAP on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice
of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (A) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day
that is not a Trading Day or (B) both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of
“regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68)
of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on
such Trading Day,
2.
at the option of
the Holder, either (A) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (B) the
Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as
reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on
a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter
(including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof,
or
3.
the VWAP on the
date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such
Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is
both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the
close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading
Day.
(iii) If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties
acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the
characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, and the holding
period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the
holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not
to take any position contrary to this
Section 2(c).
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this
Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise
pursuant to this Section
2(c).
(d)
Mechanics of
Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a
Notice of Exercise (but in any event, not less than one (1) Trading
Day after receipt of such Notice of Exercise), (i) send, via
facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, a confirmation of
receipt of such Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the
Company’s transfer agent, which confirmation shall constitute
an instruction to the Company’s transfer agent to process
such Notice of Exercise in accordance with the terms herein, and
(ii) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date
of receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise and the
aggregate Exercise Price (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall credit the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to such
Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system (“DWAC”) if the
Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there
is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of
the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the
Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without the
need for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (“Rule 144”)
(assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in such
Notice of Exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date.
The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder
or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for
all purposes, as of the date this Warrant has been exercised, with
payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required
to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the
issuance of such Warrant Shares, having been paid (except in the
case of cashless exercise of this Warrant, in which case, no
payment shall be required). If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to a Notice of
Exercise following receipt of the Exercise Price by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of
Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP on the
date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing up to a maximum of $180 for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise) for each Trading Day after such
Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered
or Holder rescinds such exercise.
(ii) Delivery
of New Warrant Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
(iii) Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind
such exercise.
(iv) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise
on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then
the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any,
by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and the equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant
Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of
a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to the next whole share.
(vi) Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant
Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the
Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, that in the event
that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name
of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the
Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax
incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees
required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vii) Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i)
makes or issues or sets a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Common Stock, (ii) makes or issues or sets
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities or property other than Common Stock, (iii) effects a
stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iv)
combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each case
the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Reserved.
(d) Subsequent Rights Offerings.
If the Company, at any time while this
Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to
all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase
Rights”), then, upon any
exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will be entitled to acquire,
upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate
Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder
had held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of
this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken
for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no
such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or
sale of such Purchase Rights. For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall
hold such Purchase Rights for the benefit of the Holder until the
Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion
thereof.
(e) Pro Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (a “Distribution”),
then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had
held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this
Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for
such Warrant, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which
the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined
for the participation in such Distribution. For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall
hold such Distribution for the benefit of the Holder until the
Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion
thereof.
(f) Fundamental Transaction. If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (iii) the Company’s board of
directors gives its consent to a transaction whereby an individual
or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule
13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) acquires effective
control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital
stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50%
of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of
conversion of the Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) held
by Holder or this Warrant), provided, this clause (iii) does not
include an unsolicited takeover bid, (iv) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of
Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making
or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise,
the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share
of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the
Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the
Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with,
or within thirty (30) calendar days after, the consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, purchase this
Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of
cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes
Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the
Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the
“OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the
calendar day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date,
(B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of
the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price
per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price
per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any
non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental
Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay)
prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of
the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which
is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to
the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this
Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value
of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental
Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for
the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant
immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and
be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the
obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(g) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section
3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th
of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares
of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given
date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and
outstanding.
(h) Notice to Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3,
the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting
forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting
adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(ii) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, (E) the
Company shall otherwise effect a Fundamental Transaction, or (F)
the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed
to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 20
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date
on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the
Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on
the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set
forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject to
compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions
set forth in Section
4(d) hereof and to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement,
this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or
in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company or its designated agent, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached
hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and
funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making
of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new
Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and
this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to
the Company within two (2) Trading Days of the date the Holder
delivers the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B
to the Company assigning this Warrant
in full. This
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares
without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a) as to any transfer
which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for
this Warrant or the Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated as of the Initial Issuance Date and
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company
shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof
from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
(d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the
time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of
this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws or (ii) exempt from registration under the Securities
Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such
transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the
case may be, comply with the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as
expressly set forth in Section 3.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation
of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such
right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(d) Authorized Shares. The Company
covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may
be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by
the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any
Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder
acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize
cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by
state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder
terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall
pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant
hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices. Any notice, request or
other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to
the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(i) Limitation of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the
Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in
any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the
Holder.
(l) Amendment. Any provision of
this Warrant may be waived by the Holder in writing, which waiver
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended by a written
instrument executed by the Company and the Holder, which amendment
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns.
(m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.
(n) Headings. The headings used in
this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall
not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.
(o) WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
INVOLVING OR OTHERWISE IN RESPECT OF THIS WARRANT.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THIS
FIRST AMENDMENT TO COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this
“Amendment”) is
dated May ___, 2020, by and between DynaResource, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”)
and Golden Post Rail, LLC, a Texas limited liability company
(“Warrantholder”).
Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings set forth in the Warrant (defined
below).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, in
connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated
as of May 6, 2015, the Corporation issued to Warrantholder a
warrant to purchase two million one hundred sixty-six thousand five
hundred and twenty-seven (2,166,527) shares of the
Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, dated
as of June 30, 2015 (the “Warrant”);
and
WHEREAS, in
connection with that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of
the date hereof, by and among the Corporation, the Warrantholder,
and the other parties listed on Exhibit A thereto, the
Corporation and Warrantholder have agreed to amend the Warrant as
more specifically set forth below.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. AMENDMENT TO
WARRANT.
a)
The introductory
paragraph of the Warrant is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
“THIS COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, Golden Post Rail, LLC or its
assigns (the “Holder”) is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise
and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Issuance
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the
five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the
“Termination
Date”) to subscribe for and purchase from
DynaResource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up
to 2,166,527 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
“Warrant
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share of
Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise
Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if this Warrant has not been exercised in full by
the Termination Date, the Company shall, effective one Business Day
after the Termination Date, issue to Holder a new common stock
purchase warrant, substantially in the same form of this Warrant,
for the same number of Warrant Shares that went unexercised on the
Termination Date pursuant to this Warrant and with a maturity date
that is two years from the Termination Date hereof (the
“New
Warrant”). The Holder waives any anti-dilution rights
it may have under this Warrant, that certain Common Stock Purchase
Warrant, dated May 13, 2020, and the Certificate of Designations,
in each case, resulting from or arising out of the issuance by the
Company of such New Warrant in accordance with the terms
hereof.”
b)
Section 2 of the
Warrant is amended to add Section 2(d), which will read as
follows:
“(d)
Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and
(ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and
Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or
Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 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. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to
apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity
with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or
any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.”
c)
Sections 3(d) and
(e) of the Warrant are amended in their entirety to read as
follows:
“(d)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
(the “Purchase
Rights”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant
Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant (without regard to
any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on
which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such
Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be
determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights
(provided,
however, that, to
the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial
ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such
Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For the term of this Warrant,
the Company shall hold such Purchase Rights for the benefit of the
Holder until the Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion
thereof.”
“(e)
Pro Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (a “Distribution”),
then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had
held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Warrant, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for
the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent
that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such
Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation). For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall hold
such Distribution for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder
exercises this Warrant or any portion thereof.”
2. Except to the
extent modified or amended by this Amendment, all terms and
provisions of the Warrant shall continue in full force and effect
and shall remain enforceable and binding in accordance with their
respective terms.
3. This Amendment may
be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one
and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
this Amendment by electronic transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
DYNARESOURCE, INC.
Warrant Shares:
2,306
|
Initial Issuance
Date: May 13, 2020
|
THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, Golden Post Rail, LLC or its
assigns (the “Holder”) is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise
and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Issuance
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the
seven (7) year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the
“Termination
Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and
purchase from DynaResource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), up
to 2,306 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the
“Warrant
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share of
Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise
Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section
1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), dated May 6, 2015, by and between the
Company and the Holder.
Section
2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times
on or after the Initial Issuance Date and on or before the
Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing
to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on
the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company) of a duly
executed facsimile or electronic copy of the Notice of Exercise in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and within three (3)
Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to
the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by
wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor
shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or
notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall
not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company
until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available
hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which
case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for
cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final
Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises
of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total
number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect
of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of
Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.
The Holder and any assignee, by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a
portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be
less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
“Business Day”
shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or
required by law to remain closed.
“Trading Day”
shall mean 9:30 a.m. to 3:59 p.m. on any day on which the Common
Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market on the electronic
bulletin board or a securities exchange, or, if the Common Stock is
not so traded, a Business Day.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise
price per Warrant Share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$2.05, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(c)
Mechanics of
Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of a
Notice of Exercise (but in any event, not less than one (1) Trading
Day after receipt of such Notice of Exercise), (i) send, via
facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, a confirmation of
receipt of such Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the
Company’s transfer agent, which confirmation shall constitute
an instruction to the Company’s transfer agent to process
such Notice of Exercise in accordance with the terms herein, and
(ii) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of
receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise and the aggregate
Exercise Price (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall credit the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to such
Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company via its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system (“DWAC”) if the
Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there
is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of
the Warrant Shares to, or resale of the Warrant Shares by, the
Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without the
need for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (“Rule 144”),
and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in such Notice of Exercise on or before the Warrant Share
Delivery Date. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such
Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date this Warrant has
been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price
and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant
to Section 2(c)(vi) prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares,
having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to
the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to a Notice of Exercise
following receipt of the Exercise Price by the Warrant Share
Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant
Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP on the date of
the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
up to a maximum of $180 for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject
to such exercise) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share
Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder
rescinds such exercise.
“VWAP” shall
mean the dollar volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock
on the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board, or
if the Common Stock becomes listed on an exchange, such exchange,
during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York City time,
and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”).
If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on such date
on the foregoing basis, the VWAP of the Common Stock on such date
shall be the last reported closing sales price for such date. All
such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or
other similar transactions during the relevant period.
(ii) Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have
been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the
Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time
of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
(iii) Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section
2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will
have the right to rescind such exercise.
(iv) Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon
Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to
transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise
on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open
market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then
the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any,
by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,
either reinstate the portion of this Warrant and the equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have
been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and
delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant
Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of
such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to
pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of
a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase
upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up
to the next whole share.
(vi) Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Warrant Shares shall be
made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant
Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the
Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, that in the event
that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name
of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by
the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the
payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax
incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees
required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all
fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established
clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for
same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vii) Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this
Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d)
Holder’s Exercise
Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of
this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the
extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as
set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons
acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the
Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution
Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares
of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and
(ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is
not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in
compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in
accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of
Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and
Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or
confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most
recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral
request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day
confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or
Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 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. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 2(d); provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to
apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not
be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to
the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity
with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or
any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this
Warrant.
Section
3. Certain
Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i)
makes or issues or sets a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Common Stock, (ii) makes or issues or sets
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities or property other than Common Stock, (iii) effects a
stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iv)
combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each case
the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant
shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.
(b) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while
this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to
purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise
dispose of or issue, including, without limitation, (i) any
issuance as a result of the settlement or resolution (by judgment
or otherwise) of any litigation or threatened litigation or (ii)
the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any
Subsidiary after the Initial Issuance Date, or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition, any
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents other than Excluded
Securities (such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive
Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation
of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
according to the following equation:
where:
A = the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the
Dilutive Issuance, on a fully-diluted basis;
B = the
number of new shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
issued in the Dilutive Issuance, on a fully-diluted
basis;
C = the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant
is exercisable prior to the Dilutive Issuance; and
X = the
number by which to multiply the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance.
In
addition, simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive
Issuance, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be
increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder,
after taking into account the decrease in the exercise Price, shall
be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment.
The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the
Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b),
indicating therein the calculation of the equation in this Section
3(b) (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or
not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to
this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance,
the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based
upon the adjusted Exercise Price regardless of whether the Holder
accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Notice of
Exercise.
“Excluded
Securities” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents issued in the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement, including pursuant to the Company’s
Certificate of Designations of Series C Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of
Designations”) other than Common Stock Equivalents
issued pursuant to the antidilution adjustment provisions in
Section 6(d)(iv) and Section 6(d)(vi) of the Certificate of
Designations, and (ii) any of the Company’s equity securities
issued to a holder of shares of the Company’s Series C
Preferred Stock pursuant to the preemptive rights provided by the
Certificate of Designations.
In the
event the Company shall issue or sell any shares of preferred stock
of the Company that are not convertible into Common Stock, then an
appropriate adjustment to the securities to be received upon
exercise of this Warrant (by adjustments of the Exercise Price or
otherwise) shall be made, as the Holder and the Company shall
mutually agree.
(c) Subsequent Equity Issuances of
Subsidiary. If at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) the Company’s ownership of DynaMexico Shares
shall decrease (by forfeiture or shifting of ownership or
otherwise) or (ii) DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (the
“Mexican
Subsidiary”) shall issue or sell any DynaMexico Shares
or DynaMexico Share Equivalents to any person other than the
Company, in each case including, without limitation, as a result of
the settlement or resolution (by judgment or otherwise) of any
litigation or threatened litigation (such decreases or issuances
collectively, a “Subsidiary Dilutive
Event”), then simultaneously with the consummation of
each Subsidiary Dilutive Event the Exercise price shall be
multiplied according to the following equation:
where:
A = the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the
Subsidiary Dilutive Event, on a fully-diluted basis;
B = the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant
is exercisable prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;
C = the
number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Company
following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;
D = the
aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding
following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;
E = the
number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary held by the Company
prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event;
F = the
aggregate number of shares in the Mexican Subsidiary outstanding
prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event; and
X = the
number by which to multiply the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the Subsidiary Dilutive Event; provided, however, that if X is less
than or equal to zero (0), then X shall equal .001.
In
addition, simultaneously with the consummation of each Subsidiary
Dilutive Event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder
shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable
hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise
Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such
adjustment. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no
later than the Trading Day following the Subsidiary Dilutive Event,
indicating therein the calculation of the equation in this Section
3(c) (such notice, the “Subsidiary Dilution
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or
not the Company provides a Subsidiary Dilution Notice pursuant to
this Section 3(c), upon the occurrence of any Subsidiary Dilution
Event, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares
based upon the adjusted Exercise Price regardless of whether the
Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the
Notice of Exercise.
“DynaMexico
Shares” means the Fixed Capital “Series A”
Shares or the Variable Capital “Series B” Shares issued
by the Mexican Subsidiary.
“DynaMexico Share
Equivalent” means any rights, warrants or options to
purchase or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for, directly or indirectly, any (1) DynaMexico Shares
or (2) securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for, directly or indirectly, DynaMexico Shares.
(d) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
(the “Purchase
Rights”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder
could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant
Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant (without regard to
any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on
which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such
Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be
determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights
(provided,
however, that, to
the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial
ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such
Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such
extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if
ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For the term of this Warrant,
the Company shall hold such Purchase Rights for the benefit of the
Holder until the Holder exercises this Warrant or any portion
thereof.
(e) Pro Rata Distributions. If the
Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (a “Distribution”),
then, upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had
held the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof,
including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such
Warrant, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for
the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent
that the Holder’s right to participate in any such
Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the
beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such
Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not
result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation). For the term of this Warrant, the Company shall hold
such Distribution for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder
exercises this Warrant or any portion thereof.
(f) Fundamental Transaction. If, at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale,
lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a
series of related transactions, (iii) the Company’s board of
directors gives its consent to a transaction whereby an individual
or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule
13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) acquires effective
control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital
stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50%
of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of
conversion or exercise of the Series C Preferred, that certain
Common Stock Purchase Warrant (for 2,166,527 shares), dated June
30, 2015, of the Company held by Holder or this Warrant),
provided, this clause (iii)
does not include an unsolicited takeover bid, (iv) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the
Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the
Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other
securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock
or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of
Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares
of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making
or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other
business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of
this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant), the
number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by the holder of the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to
such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any
such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration
based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and
the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value
of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities,
cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant
following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the
Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the
Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with,
or within thirty (30) calendar days after, the consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, purchase this
Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of
cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised
portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such
Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes
Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the
Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the
“OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the
calendar day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date,
(B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of
the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price
per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price
per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any
non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental
Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without
unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and
shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity
evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and
substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding
number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its
parent entity) equivalent to the Warrant Shares acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies
the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but
taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common
Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of
such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and
after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the
“Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall
assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such
Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(g) Calculations. All calculations
under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of
this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the
number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if
any) issued and outstanding.
(h) Notice to Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price.
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a
notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and
any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(ii) Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special
nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the
approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in
connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, (E) the
Company shall otherwise effect a Fundamental Transaction, or (F)
the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed
to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the
Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least 20
calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not
to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date
on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or
close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such
notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not
affect the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the
Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain
entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on
the date of such notice to the effective date of the event
triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set
forth herein.
Section
4. Transfer
of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. Subject to
compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions
set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of the
Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder
(including, without limitation, any registration rights) are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant
at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in
the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent
or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as
applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant
in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to
the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder
delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant
in full. This
Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares
without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written
notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants
are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.
Subject to compliance with Section 4(a) as to any transfer which
may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for this
Warrant or the Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated as of the Initial Issuance Date and identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable
pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company
shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof
from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the
contrary.
(d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the
time of the surrender of this Warrant
in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of
this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an
effective registration
statement under the
Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) exempt from
registration under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as
a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(e) Representation by the Holder.
The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that
it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except
pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities
Act.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until
Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section
2(c)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation
of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not
include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock
certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays,
etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such
right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(d) Authorized Shares. The Company
covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are
charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon
the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any
requirements of the trading market upon which the Common Stock may
be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may
be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by
the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in
respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any
Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or
consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from
any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction
thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder
acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale
imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No
course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right
hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or
remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder
terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and
knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall
pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings,
incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant
hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices. Any notice, request or
other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to
the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(i) Limitation of Liability. No
provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the
Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in
any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject
to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and
obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company
and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder
from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the
Holder.
(l) Amendment. Any provision of
this Warrant may be waived by the Holder in writing, which waiver
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended by a written
instrument executed by the Company and the Holder, which amendment
shall be binding on all of the Holder’s successors and
assigns.
(m) Severability. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but
if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.
(n) Headings. The headings used in
this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall
not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this
Warrant.

Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 30, 2015, by and
among the Company and the Investor (the “Prior
Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the
Investor and the Company desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement in its entirety and to accept the rights created pursuant
to this Agreement in lieu of the rights granted to them under the
Prior Agreement;
and
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Investor and the Company hereby agree that the Prior
Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this
Agreement, and the parties to this Agreement further agree as
follows:
As used
in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

shall mean with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with such Person, and with respect to any
individual, shall mean his or her spouse, sibling, child, step

spouse thereof. For purposes of this definition,
“control” (including, with correlative meanings, the
terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and
“under common control with”), as used with respect to
any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that beneficial ownership of
20% or more of the voting securities of a Person shall be deemed to
constitute control.

shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or
required by law to remain closed.

Company filed on Form S-1 (or any successor form thereto), or such
other appropriate form as directed by the Majority Holders of the
Registration, which covers the Registrable Securities requested to

time to time, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any
successor statute.
“FINRA” shall

mean the Investor, for so long as it owns any Registrable
Securities, and each of its respective heirs, successors and

2. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT.
(a) Shelf Registration. At any time
commencing after the effective time of the Series C Purchase
Agreement, if the Company is eligible to file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto),
the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing
that the Company (i) register all or any portion of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities by filing with the SEC a
Shelf Registration Statement for a public offering of such shares
of Registrable Securities (a “Shelf
Request”) (which Shelf Request shall specify the
amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such
Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof) and (ii)
shall use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act for
public sale such Registrable Securities of such Holder. As promptly
as practicable, but no later than ten (10) calendar days after
receipt of the Shelf Request, the Company shall give written notice
of such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities. The Company shall include in the Shelf Registration (i)
the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the
Initiating Holder and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to
be disposed of by any other Holder which shall have made a written
request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable
Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition
thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration
within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of such written
notice from the Company, in each cash subject to the provisions of
Section 2.5(d). Accordingly, once an Initiating Holder has made a
Shelf Request and the Company has sent the required notice of such
Shelf Request to all other Holders, such other Holders may elect to
participate in the registration or not, but such Holders will not
have the right to make a separate Shelf Request until the
expiration of the ninety (90) calendar day period following the
date of the initial Shelf Request. The Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible following a Shelf Request, use its best
efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Shelf Registration
Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act
of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so
requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary
to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be
registered in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
thereof specified in such Shelf Request or further requests. The
Company shall use its best efforts to have such Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable
thereafter and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b).
If the sole or lead managing Underwriter (if any) or the Majority
Holders of the Registration shall advise the Company in writing
that in its opinion additional disclosure not required by Form S-3
(or any successor form thereto) is of material importance to the
success of the offering, then such Registration Statement shall
include such additional disclosure. Any Holder requesting inclusion
in a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may, at
any time prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering
written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Shelf Request shall not count against
the number of Demand Registration rights pursuant to the provisions
of Section 2.2(b).
Whenever the
Company shall effect a registration pursuant to a Shelf Request, no
securities other than the Registrable Securities shall be covered
by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the
Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of
such other securities.
The
registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.1(a) shall be in addition to the registration rights
granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section
2.
(b) Effectiveness of Shelf
Registration. If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 2.1(a), the Company shall use its best efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration continuously effective through the date on which
all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf
Registration may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act without any limit as to volume (or any successor
provision having similar effect); provided, however, that prior to the termination
of such Shelf Registration, the Company shall first furnish to each
Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such Shelf
Registration (i) an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Majority Holders of the Registration, of counsel for the
Company satisfactory to the Majority Holders of the Registration
stating that such Registrable Securities are freely sellable
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without
any limit as to volume (or any successor provision having similar
effect) or (ii) a “No-Action Letter” from the staff of
the SEC stating that the SEC would not recommend enforcement action
if the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration
were sold in a public sale other than pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement.
(c) Form S-3 Eligibility. At any
time commencing after the effective time of the Series C Purchase
Agreement, if the Company becomes eligible to file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto)
for a primary offering, or becomes re-eligible after losing such
eligibility, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, but no
later than fourteen (14) calendar days after gaining or regaining
such eligibility, as applicable, provide written notice of such
event to the Holders.
2.2. Demand
Registration.
(a) Right to Demand Registration.
Subject to Section 2.2(c), at any time commencing after the
effective time of the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Majority
Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company
register all or part of such Holders’ Registrable Securities
(a “Request”)
(which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities
intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method
of disposition thereof) by filing with the SEC a Demand
Registration Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later
than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of a Request, the Company
shall give written notice of such requested registration to all
Holders of Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.5(d), the
Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable
Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and
(ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any
other Holder which shall have made a written request (which request
shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered
and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for
inclusion thereof in such registration within twenty (20) calendar
days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The
Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Request,
use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand
Registration Statement providing for the registration under the
Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has
been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent
necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities
so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition thereof specified in such Request or further requests.
The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as
practicable thereafter and to keep such Demand Registration
Statement continuously effective for the period specified in
Section 4.1(b).
A
Request may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand
Registration Statement by the Majority Holders of the Registration
(a “Withdrawn
Request”) and a Demand Registration Statement may be
withdrawn at any time (and for any reason) prior to the
effectiveness of such Demand Registration Statement (a
“Withdrawn Demand
Registration”), and such withdrawals shall be treated
as a Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to
this Section 2.2, unless the Holders of Registrable Securities to
be included in such Registration Statement reimburse the Company
for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to
the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration Statement
(to the extent actually incurred), provided; however, that if a Withdrawn Request or
Withdrawn Demand Registration is made (A) because of a material
adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of
the Company, or (B) because the sole or lead managing Underwriter
advises that the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold in
such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) by more than
20% of the Registrable Securities to be included in such
Registration Statement, or (C) because of a postponement of such
registration pursuant to Section 2.7, then such withdrawal shall
not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this
Section 2.2 (and shall not be counted toward the number of Demand
Registrations), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection therewith. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a
Demand Registration may, at any time up to the effectiveness of the
Demand Registration Statement (and for any reason) revoke such
request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such
requested inclusion.
The
registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights
granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2
hereof.
(b) Limitations on Registrations.
The rights of the Majority Holders to request Demand Registrations
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) are subject to the limitation that in no
event shall the Company be obligated to pay Registration Expenses
of more than two Demand Registrations initiated by the Majority
Holders; provided,
however, (i) that to the
extent the Company does not include in what would otherwise be the
final registration for which the Company is required to pay
Registration Expenses the number of Registrable Securities
requested to be registered by the Holders by reason of Section
2.5(d) such number of Demand Registrations shall be increased once
for each such occurrence and (ii) the Majority Holders shall be
deemed not to have expended a Demand Registration right to the
extent the Company terminates a Shelf Registration pursuant to
Section 2.1(b) prior to the time that all Registrable Securities
covered by such Shelf Registration have been sold.
(c) Registration of Other
Securities. Whenever the Company shall effect a Demand
Registration, no securities other than the Registrable Securities
shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders
of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the
inclusion of such other securities.
(d) Effective Registration Statement;
Suspension. A Demand Registration Statement shall not be
deemed to have become effective (and the related registration will
not be deemed to have been effected) (i) unless it has been
declared effective by the SEC and remains effective in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand
Registration Statement for the time period specified in Section
4.1(b), (ii) if the offering of any Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Demand Registration Statement is interfered with by any
stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or
any other governmental agency or court, or (iii) if, in the case of
an Underwritten Offering, the conditions to closing specified in an
underwriting agreement to which the Company is a party are not
satisfied other than by the sole reason of any breach or failure by
the Holders of Registrable Securities or are not otherwise
waived.
(e) Other Registrations. During the
period (i) beginning on the date of a Request and (ii) ending on
the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the date that a
Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to such Request has
been declared effective by the SEC or, if the Majority Holders of
the Registration shall withdraw such Request or such Demand
Registration Statement, on the date of such Withdrawn Request or
such Withdrawn Registration Statement, the Company shall not,
without the consent of the Majority Holders of the Registration,
file a registration statement pertaining to any other securities of
the Company.
(f) Registration Statement Form.
Registrations under this Section 2.2 shall be on such appropriate
registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the
Majority Holders of the Registration and (ii) which shall be
available for the sale of Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the
requests for registration. The Company agrees to include in any
such Registration Statement all information which any selling
participating Holder, upon advice of counsel, shall reasonably
request.
2.3. Incidental
Registration.
(a) Right to Include Registrable
Securities. If the Company at any time or from time to time
proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act
(other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any
successor form to such forms) and other than pursuant to Section
2.1 or 2.2) and files (i) a shelf registration statement or (ii) a
registration statement other than a shelf registration statement,
or proposes to do a take down off of an effective shelf
registration statement, whether or not pursuant to registration
rights granted to other holders of its securities and whether or
not for sale for its own account, the Company shall deliver prompt
written notice (which notice shall be given at least forty-five
(45) calendar days prior to the filing of such registration
statement or five (5) calendar days prior to the filing of any
preliminary prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b), or the
prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) (if no preliminary
prospectus supplement is used)) to all Holders of Registrable
Securities of its intention to undertake such registration or
offering, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration
and distribution (including the anticipated range of the proposed
offering price, the class and number of securities proposed to be
registered and the distribution arrangements) and of such
Holders’ right to participate in such registration under this
Section 2.3 as hereinafter provided. Subject to the other
provisions of this paragraph (a) and Section 2.3(b), upon the
written request of any Holder made within twenty (20) calendar days
after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall
specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and
the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall
effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable
Securities requested by Holders to be so registered (an
“Incidental
Registration”), to the extent requisite to permit the
disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as
aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by
inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration
statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to
register (thereby making such registration statement an Incidental
Registration Statement), and shall cause such Incidental
Registration Statement to become and remain effective with respect
to such Registrable Securities in accordance with the registration
procedures set forth in Section 4. If an Incidental Registration
involves an Underwritten Offering, immediately upon notification to
the Company from the Underwriter of the price at which such
securities are to be sold, the Company shall so advise each
participating Holder. The Holders requesting inclusion in an
Incidental Registration may, at any time up to the effectiveness of
the Incidental Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke
such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking
such requested inclusion.
If at
any time after giving written notice of its intention to register
any securities and up to the effectiveness of the Incidental
Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration,
the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to
delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its
election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder
of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a
determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection
with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the
Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith), without
prejudice, however, subject to the rights of Holders to cause such
registration to be effected as a registration under
Sections 2.1 or 2.2, and (B) in the case of a determination to
delay such registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay
the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.7; provided, however, that if such delay shall
extend beyond one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date
the Company received a request to include Registrable Securities in
such Incidental Registration, then the Company shall again give all
Holders the opportunity to participate therein and shall follow the
notification procedures set forth in the preceding paragraph. There
is no limitation on the number of such Incidental Registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.3 which the Company is obligated to
effect.
The
registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.3 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted
pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof.
(b) Priority in Incidental
Registration. If an Incidental Registration involves an
Underwritten Offering (on a firm commitment basis), and the sole or
the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such
Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a
copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date
five (5) calendar days prior to the date then scheduled for such
offering that, in its opinion, the amount of securities (including
Registrable Securities) requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering
without materially interfering with the successful marketing of the
securities being offered (such writing to state the basis of such
opinion and the approximate number of such securities which may be
included in such offering without such effect), the Company shall
include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the
Company is so advised may be included in such offering without such
effect, (i) in the case of a registration initiated by the Company,
(A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to register for
its own account, (B) second the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such registration by the Holders, allocated
pro rata in proportion to the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by each of them and (C) third, other securities of the
Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person, and (ii) in
the case of a registration initiated by a Person other than the
Company, (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by any Persons initiating such
registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by the other Holders, (B) second, any
other Persons, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration by each of
them and (C) third, the securities that the Company proposes
to register for its own account, provided, however, that in the event the Company
will not, by virtue of this Section 2.3(b), include in any such
registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder
requested to be included in such registration, such Holder may,
upon written notice to the Company given within three (3) calendar
days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter,
reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have
included in such registration, whereupon only the Registrable
Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included
and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a
corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to
be included in such registration.
(c) Selection of Underwriters. If
any Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the
sole or managing Underwriter(s) and any additional investment
bankers and managers to be used in connection with such
registration shall be subject to the approval of the Majority
Holders of the Registration (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld).
The
Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any
Demand Registration, Incidental Registration or Shelf Registration,
whether or not such registration shall become effective and whether
or not all Registrable Securities originally requested to be
included in such registration are withdrawn or otherwise ultimately
not included in such registration, except as otherwise provided
with respect to a Withdrawn Request and a Withdrawn Demand
Registration in Section 2.2(a).
2.5. Underwritten
Offerings.
(a) Underwriting; Selection of
Underwriters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.2(a), if the Initiating
Holders so elect, the offering of such Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration shall be
in the form of a firm commitment Underwritten Offering; and such
Initiating Holders may require that all Persons (including other
Holders) participating in such registration sell their Registrable
Securities to the Underwriters at the same price and on the same
terms of underwriting applicable to the Initiating Holders. If any
Shelf Registration or Demand Registration involves an Underwritten
Offering, the sole or managing Underwriters and any additional
investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with such
registration shall be selected by the Majority Holders of the
Registration, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Underwriting Agreement. If
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter for any
Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to a Shelf Registration or
Demand Registration, the Company shall enter into a customary
underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for such offering,
such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form
to the Majority Holders of the Registration and to contain such
representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms
as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including,
without limitation, indemnification and contribution to the effect
and to the extent provided in Section 5.
(c) Holders of Registrable Securities to
be Parties to Underwriting Agreement. The Holders of
Registrable Securities to be distributed by Underwriters in an
Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2 shall be parties to
the underwriting agreement between the Company and such
Underwriters and may, at such Holders’ option, require that
any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other
agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of
such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such
Holders of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the
conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters under
such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the
obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to make any representations or warranties with respect to
written information specifically provided by a selling Holder for
inclusion in the Registration Statement. No Holder shall be
required to make any representations or warranties to, or
agreements with, the Company or the Underwriters other than
representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder,
such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such Holder’s
intended method of disposition.
(d) Priority in Registrations. If a
Shelf Registration or Demand Registration involves an Underwritten
Offering, and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, as the case
may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in
writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or
before the date five (5) calendar days prior to the date then
scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Shelf
Registration or Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be
sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the
Majority Holders of the Registration (such writing to state the
basis of such opinion and the approximate number of Registrable
Securities which may be included in such offering), the Company
shall include in such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, to
the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be
included in such offering, the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in the Shelf Registration or Demand Registration by the
Holders allocated pro
rata in proportion to the
number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
Shelf Registration or Demand Registration by each of them. In the
event the Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.5(d),
include in any Shelf Registration or Demand Registration all of the
Registrable Securities of any Holder requesting to be included in
such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, such Holder may,
upon written notice to the Company given within five (5) calendar
days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter,
reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have
included in such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration,
whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to
have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing
shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of
Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration or
Demand Registration.
(e) Participation in Underwritten
Registration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no Person may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell its
securities on the same terms and conditions provided in any
underwritten arrangements approved by the Persons entitled
hereunder to approve such arrangement and (ii) accurately completes
and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, underwriting agreements
and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.
2.6. Conversions;
Exercises.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in order for any Registrable
Securities that are issuable upon the exercise of conversion
rights, options or warrants to be included in any registration
pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the exercise of such conversion
rights, options or warrants must be effected no later than
immediately prior to the closing of any sales under the
Registration Statement pursuant to which such Registrable
Securities are to be sold.
The
Company shall be entitled to postpone a Shelf Registration or a
Demand Registration and to require the Holders of Registrable
Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities
covered by a Shelf Registration during any Blackout Period (as
defined below) (i) if the Board of Directors of the Company
determines in good faith that effecting such a registration or
continuing such disposition at such time would have a material
adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all)
of the assets of the Company or a merger, reorganization,
recapitalization or similar current transaction materially
affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company,
or (ii) if the Company is in possession of material information
which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good
faith it is not in the best interests of the Company to disclose in
a Registration Statement at such time; provided, however, that the Company may only
delay a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration pursuant to
this Section 2.7 by delivery of a Blackout Notice (as defined
below) either (i) under Section 2.1 within thirty (30) calendar
days of delivery of a Shelf Request or (ii) under Section 2.2,
within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of the Request for
such Registration, as applicable, and may delay a Shelf
Registration or a Demand Registration and require the Holders of
Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their
securities covered by a Shelf Registration only for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days (or such
earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer
proposed or the material information has been made public) (the
“Blackout
Period”). There shall not be more than one Blackout
Period in any twelve (12) month period. The Company shall promptly
notify the Holders in writing (a “Blackout
Notice”) of any decision to postpone a Demand
Registration or a Shelf Registration or to discontinue sales of
Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration pursuant to
this Section 2.7 and shall include a general statement of the
reason for such postponement, an approximation of the anticipated
delay and an undertaking by the Company promptly to notify the
Holders as soon as a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration
may be effected or sales of Registrable Securities covered by a
Shelf Registration may resume. In making any such determination to
initiate or terminate a Blackout Period, the Company shall not be
required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Holder, and
any such determination shall be the Company’s sole
responsibility. Each Holder shall treat all notices received from
the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7 constituting material
inside information in the strictest confidence and shall not trade
on or disseminate such information. If the Company shall postpone
the filing of a Demand Registration Statement or a Shelf
Registration Statement, the Majority Holders of the Registration
shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration. Any
such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the
Company within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the
Blackout Notice. Such withdrawn registration request shall not be
treated as a Shelf Request effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or a
Demand Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 (and shall not
be counted towards the number of Demand Registrations effected),
and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection
therewith.
3. HOLDBACK
ARRANGEMENTS.
3.1. Restrictions on Sale by Holders of
Registrable Securities.
Each
Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities, if timely requested in writing by the sole
or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any
Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Shelf
Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of or effect any public sale or
distribution, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any
successor provision having similar effect) promulgated under the
Securities Act of any Registrable Securities or any other equity
security of the Company (or any security convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company)
(except as part of such underwritten registration), during the five
(5) Business Days (as such term is used in Regulation M under
the Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed
ninety (90) calendar days beginning on the effective date of the
applicable Registration Statement, unless the sole or lead managing
Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering otherwise agrees;
provided, however, that to the extent the Company
or the sole lead managing Underwriter releases any other Person
from the foregoing or equivalent restrictions in whole or in part
it shall, on the same day, notify the Holders of such release and
such parties shall automatically be released to the same extent:
provided, further, this holdback restriction
shall apply only to those Holders of Registrable Securities who
have elected to sell Registrable Securities they hold in an
Underwritten Offering in respect of which a holdback is requested
by the managing Underwriter.
3.2. Restrictions on Sale by the Company
and Others.
The
Company agrees that if timely requested in writing by the sole or
lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any
Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Shelf
Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of or effect any public or private sale or
distribution of any of the Company’s equity securities (or
any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
any of the Company’s equity securities) during the five (5)
Business Days (as such term is used in Regulation M under the
Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed
ninety (90) calendar days beginning on the effective date of the
applicable Registration Statement (except as part of such
underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Forms S-4
or S-8 (or any successor form to such forms)), unless the sole or
lead Managing Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering otherwise
agrees. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause
each director and officer of the Company and each holder of five
percent (5%) or more of the equity securities (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of its
equity securities) of the Company to so agree.
4. REGISTRATION
PROCEDURES.
4.1. Obligations of the
Company.
Whenever the
Company is required to effect the registration of Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this
Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a) prepare and file
with the SEC (promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) calendar
days after receipt of a request to register Registrable Securities)
the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration,
which Registration Statement shall comply as to form in all
material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and
include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed
therewith, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective (provided, that the Company may
discontinue any registration of its securities that are not
Registrable Securities, and, under the circumstances specified in
Section 2.3, its securities that are Registrable Securities);
provided, however, that before filing a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, or comparable statements under securities or
blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, the Company shall (i) provide
Holders’ Counsel and any other Inspector with an adequate and
appropriate opportunity to participate in the preparation of such
Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein (and
each amendment or supplement thereto or comparable statement) to be
filed with the SEC, which documents shall be subject to the review
and comment of Holders’ Counsel, and (ii) not file any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement
thereto or comparable statement) with the SEC to which
Holders’ Counsel, any selling Holder or any other Inspector
shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such filing does
not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act or of the rules or regulations
thereunder;
(b) prepare and file
with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration
Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary (i) to keep such Registration Statement effective, and
(ii) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement, in each case until such time as all of
such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of disposition by the seller(s) thereof
set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, that such periods, in any
event, shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement have been sold (but not before the
expiration of the ninety (90) calendar day period referred to in
Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if
applicable);
(c) furnish, without
charge, to each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities and
each Underwriter, if any, of the securities covered by such
Registration Statement, such number of copies of such Registration
Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case
including all exhibits), and the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and other
documents, as such selling Holder and Underwriter may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder (the
Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with applicable
law of each such Registration Statement (or amendment or
post-effective amendment thereto) and each such Prospectus (or
preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) by each such selling
Holder of Registrable Securities and the Underwriters, if any, in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus);
(d) prior to any public
offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to
register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities
covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities
or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder of
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or
the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, may reasonably
request to enable such selling Holder to consummate the disposition
in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such
selling Holder and to continue such registration or qualification
in effect in each such jurisdiction for as long as such
Registration Statement remains in effect (including through new
filings or amendments or renewals), and do any and all other acts
and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable any such
selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 4.1(d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any
such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in
any such jurisdiction;
(e) use its best
efforts to obtain all other approvals, consents, exemptions or
authorizations from such governmental agencies or authorities as
may be necessary to enable the selling Holders of such Registrable
Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities;
(f) promptly notify
Holders’ Counsel, each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement and the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, if any: (i) when the Registration
Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any
prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement has been filed and, with respect to
the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or
any state securities or blue sky authority for amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus related
thereto or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the
SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the initiation or threat of any
proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation
of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any
fact of which the Company becomes aware or the happening of any
event which results in (A) the Registration Statement containing an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any
statements therein not misleading, or (B) the Prospectus included
in such Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make any statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, (vi) if at any time the representations and warranties
contemplated by Section 2.5(b) cease to be true and correct in all
material respects and (vii) of the Company’s reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate or that there exists circumstances
not yet disclosed to the public which make further sales under such
Registration Statement inadvisable pending such disclosure and
post-effective amendment; and, if the notification relates to an
event described in any of the clauses (ii) through (vii) of this
Section 4.1(f), the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or related
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or
file any other required document so that (1) such Registration
Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (2) as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable
Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus shall not include
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made not misleading (and shall furnish to each such
Holder and each Underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies
of such Prospectus so supplemented or amended); and if the
notification relates to an event described in clause (iii) of this
Section 4.1(f), the Company shall take all reasonable action
required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if
entered;
(g) make available for
inspection by any selling Holder of Registrable Securities, any
sole or lead managing Underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to such Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller
or any Underwriter (each, an “Inspector”
and, collectively, the “Inspectors”),
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company and any subsidiaries thereof as may be in
existence at such time (collectively, the “Records”) as
shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders’ and such
Underwriters’ respective counsel, to enable them to exercise
their due diligence responsibility and to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and cause
the Company’s and any subsidiaries’ officers, directors
and employees, and the independent public accountants of the
Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Inspectors in connection with such Registration
Statement;
(h) if requested by the
Majority Holders of the Registration, obtain an opinion from the
Company’s counsel and a “cold comfort” letter
from the Company’s independent public accountants who have
certified the Company’s financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, in each
case dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and
if such registration involves an Underwritten Offering, dated the
date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), in customary
form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by such
opinions and “cold comfort” letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and
letter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, if any, and to the Majority Holders of the
Registration, and furnish to each Holder participating in the
offering and to each Underwriter, if any, a copy of such opinion
and letter addressed to such Holder (in the case of the opinion)
and Underwriter (in the case of the opinion and the “cold
comfort” letter);
(i) provide a CUSIP
number for all Registrable Securities and provide and cause to be
maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;
(j) otherwise use its
best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC and any other governmental agency or authority having
jurisdiction over the offering, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than ninety
(90) calendar days after the end of any twelve (12) month period,
an earnings statement (i) commencing at the end of any month in
which Registrable Securities are sold to Underwriters in an
Underwritten Offering and (ii) commencing with the first day of the
Company’s calendar month next succeeding each sale of
Registrable Securities after the effective date of a Registration
Statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month
periods, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(k) if so requested by
the Majority Holders of the Registration, use its best efforts to
cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national
securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are
then listed, if any;
(l) keep each selling
Holder of Registrable Securities advised in writing as to the
initiation and progress of any registration under Section 2
hereunder;
(m) enter into and
perform customary agreements (including, if applicable, an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and provide
officers’ certificates and other customary closing
documents;
(n) cooperate with each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities and each Underwriter
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and
their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to
be made with the FINRA and make reasonably available its employees
and personnel and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the
Underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company’s
businesses and the requirements of the marketing process) in the
marketing of Registrable Securities in any Underwritten
Offering;
(o) furnish to each
Holder participating in the offering and the sole or lead managing
Underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one manually-signed
copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits
(including those deemed to be incorporated by
reference);
(p) cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends
representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, and cause such
Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and
registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting
agreement prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the
Underwriters or, if not an Underwritten Offering, in accordance
with the instructions of the selling Holders of Registrable
Securities at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of
Registrable Securities;
(q) if requested by the
sole or lead managing Underwriter or any selling Holder of
Registrable Securities, immediately incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information concerning
such Holder of Registrable Securities, the Underwriters or the
intended method of distribution as the sole or lead managing
Underwriter or the selling Holder of Registrable Securities
reasonably requests to be included therein and as is appropriate in
the reasonable judgment of the Company, including, without
limitation, information with respect to the number of shares of the
Registrable Securities being sold to the Underwriters, the purchase
price being paid therefor by such Underwriters and with respect to
any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of the Registrable
Securities to be sold in such offering; make all required filings
of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon
as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment; and supplement or make
amendments to any Registration Statement if requested by the sole
or lead managing Underwriter of such Registrable Securities;
and
(r) use its best
efforts to take all other steps necessary to expedite or facilitate
the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities
contemplated hereby.
The
Company may require each selling Holder of Registrable Securities
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the
Company such information regarding such Holder, such Holder’s
Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of
disposition as the Company may from time to time reasonably request
in writing; provided that
such information shall be used only in connection with such
registration.
If any
Registration Statement or comparable statement under “blue
sky” laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the
Holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in
form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to
the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is
not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the
investment quality of the Company’s securities covered
thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will
assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company,
and (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or
otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company, as advised by
counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal
statute or any state “blue sky” or securities law then
in force, the deletion of the reference to such
Holder.
4.3. Notice to
Discontinue.
Each
Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 4.1(f)(ii) through (vii), such Holder shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until
such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(f) and, if so
directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company
(at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent
file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at
the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any
such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such
Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to
this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred
to in Section 4.1(b)) by the number of days during the period from
and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to
Section 4.1(f) to and including the date when the Holder shall have
received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by and meeting the requirements of Section 4.1(f), and
the Company shall pay any damages owed pursuant to Section 6.11(a)
hereunder.
5. INDEMNIFICATION;
CONTRIBUTION.
5.1. Indemnification by the
Company.
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its
officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees,
Affiliates and agents (collectively, “Agents”) and
each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) and its Agents with respect to each registration
which has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any and
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect
thereof, and expenses (as incurred or suffered and including, but
not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, whether
commenced or threatened, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of legal counsel) in respect thereof (collectively,
“Claims”),
insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto) related to any such registration or any omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule
or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to
action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any
such registration, or any qualification or compliance incident
thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such Claims arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact
so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company in an instrument duly executed by such
Holder specifically stating that it was expressly for use therein.
The Company shall also indemnify any Underwriters of the
Registrable Securities, their Agents and each Person who controls
any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to
the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Person who may be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 and shall
survive the transfer of securities by such Holder or
Underwriter.
5.2. Indemnification by
Holders.
Each
Holder, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the
securities as to which a registration is being effected, agrees to,
severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and
officers, each other Person who participates as an Underwriter in
the offering or sale of such securities and its Agents and each
Person who controls the Company or any such Underwriter (within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act) and its Agents against any and all Claims,
insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto) related to such registration, or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
in an instrument duly executed by such Holder specifically stating
that it was expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the aggregate amount
which any such Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this
Section 5.2 shall in no event be greater than the amount of the net
proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to
such Claims less all amounts previously paid by such Holder with
respect to any such Claims. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of
such securities by such Holder or Underwriter.
5.3. Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings.
Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any Claim or the
commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim under
this Section 5, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to
Section 5, (i) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding;
provided, that the failure
of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 5,
except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and
actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 5, and (ii) permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate
in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless
(A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees
and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to
assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party within ten (10) calendar
days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the
indemnified party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the
reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon
advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such
claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim
on behalf of such indemnified party) or (D) such indemnified party
is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought
against the indemnifying party and reasonably shall have concluded
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such
indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying
party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of
any such claim or action effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition,
without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), no indemnifying party shall be
permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or
to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened
action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an
actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of
such action or claim, (2) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on
behalf of any indemnified party, and (3) does not provide for any
action on the part of any party other than the payment of money
damages which is to be paid in full by the indemnifying
party.
If the
indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2 from the
indemnifying party for any reason is unavailable to (other than by
reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold
harmless, an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on
the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in
such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the
foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative
benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3,
any legal or other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred by
such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no
indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required
pursuant to this Section 5.4 to contribute any amount in excess of
the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale
of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement giving rise to such Claims, less all amounts previously
paid by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claims. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
5.5. Other
Indemnification.
Indemnification
similar to that specified in the preceding Sections 5.1 and 5.2
(with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and
each selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any
required registration or other qualification of securities under
any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental
authority, other than the Securities Act. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may
have pursuant to law or contract.
5.6. Indemnification
Payments.
The
indemnification and contribution required by this Section 5 shall
be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred.
6.1. Adjustments Affecting Registrable
Securities.
The
Company agrees that it shall not effect or permit to occur any
combination or subdivision of shares which would adversely affect
the ability of the Holder of any Registrable Securities to include
such Registrable Securities in any registration contemplated by
this Agreement or the marketability of such Registrable Securities
in any such registration.
6.2. Registration Rights to
Others.
The
Company has not previously entered into an agreement with respect
to its securities granting any registration rights to any Person.
If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of
any securities of the Company rights with respect to the
registration of such securities under the Securities Act, (i) such
rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the
rights provided in this Agreement to the Holders and (ii) such
rights may only be on terms or conditions more favorable to such
holder than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
with the consent of the Majority Holders and in such case, the
Company shall provide (by way of amendment to this Agreement or
otherwise) such more favorable terms or conditions to the
Holders.
6.3. Availability of Information; Rule 144;
Rule 144A; Other Exemptions.
The
Company covenants that it shall timely file any reports required to
be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(including, but not limited to, the reports under Sections 13 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act), and that it shall take
such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under
the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time,
or (ii) any other rule or regulation now existing or hereafter
adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.
6.4. Amendments and
Waivers.
The
provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written
consent of the Company and the Majority Holders, provided, however, that no such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent to departure shall
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without
the written consent of all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities; and provided,
further, that to the extent
any Holder would be disproportionately adversely affected by such
amendment or waiver, then such Holder’s consent shall also be
required. Nothing herein shall prohibit any amendment,
modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent to
departure the adverse effect of which is limited only to those
Holders who have agreed to such amendment, modification,
supplement, termination, waiver or consent to
departure.
All
notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a
written instrument and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered in person, by telecopy, by facsimile, by

6.6. Successors and
Assigns.
This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted
assigns (including any permitted transferee of Registrable
Securities). Any Holder may assign to any transferee of its
Registrable Securities (other than a transferee that acquires such
Registrable Securities in a registered public offering or a sale
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any
successor rule)), its rights and obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, if any transferee shall take
and hold Registrable Securities, such transferee shall promptly
notify the Company and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such transferee shall automatically be entitled to
receive the benefits of and be conclusively deemed to have agreed
to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement as if it were a party hereto (and shall, for all
purposes, be deemed a Holder under this Agreement). If the Company
shall so request, any heir, successor or assign (including any
transferee) shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the
Registrable Securities subject to all of the terms hereof. For
purposes of this Agreement, “successor” for any entity
other than a natural person shall mean a successor to such entity
as a result of such entity’s merger, consolidation, sale of
substantially all of its assets, or similar transaction.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Company, in
consultation with and subject to the consent of the Investor, may
permit any Person who subsequently acquires Registrable Securities
to become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder
Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit
A.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which counterparts, taken together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
6.8. Descriptive Headings,
Etc.
The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of terms
contained herein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise
requires: (i) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each
other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number shall
also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the
words “hereof”, “herein” and
“hereunder” and words of similar import when used in
this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and
paragraph references are to the Sections and paragraphs of this
Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iv) the word
“including” and words of similar import when used in
this Agreement shall mean “including, without
limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (v) “or”
is not exclusive and (vi) provisions apply to successive events and
transactions.
In the
event that any one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words,
clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application
thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality
and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause,
phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the other
remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or
sentences hereof shall not be in any way impaired, it being
intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the parties
hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
This
Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the
State of Texas, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas to be
applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the
State of Texas will control the interpretation and construction of
this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of
law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
6.11. Remedies; Specific
Performance.
(a) If: (i) the Company
is required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2
of this Agreement and fails to file such Registration Statement
with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of a
request to register the Registrable Securities, (ii) the Company
fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a
Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated
under the Securities Act within five (5) calendar days of the date
that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is
earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be
“reviewed” or will not be subject to further review,
(iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the
Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise
respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such
Registration Statement within twenty (20) calendar days of the
receipt of comments by, or notice from, the SEC that such amendment
is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective, (iv) a Registration Statement that has been filed with
the SEC is not declared effective by the SEC within one hundred
twenty (120) calendar days of the date such Registration Statement
was filed or (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or a
Demand Registration Statement for an offering on a delayed or
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the
Securities Act, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason,
including due to a Blackout Notice, to remain continuously
effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted
to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable
Securities, for more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days or
more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days (which need not
be consecutive calendar days) during any twelve (12) month period,
(any such failure or breach being referred to as an
“Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the
date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the
date on which such five (5) calendar day period is exceeded, and
for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20)
calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the
date on which such twenty (20) or thirty (30) calendar day period,
as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”),
then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have
hereunder or under applicable law, on each monthly anniversary of
each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been
cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the
Company shall pay to the Holders (apportioned on a pro rata basis
by the percentage of Registrable Securities that are not then
covered by a Registration Statement owned by each Holder) an amount
in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal
to the product of (1) the product of (A) one and one-half percent
(1.5%) multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the number of each
Holders’ Registrable Securities that are not then covered by
a Registration Statement that is then effective and available for
use by the Holders divided by (II) the total number of the
Holders’ Registrable Securities multiplied by (2) the
aggregate purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to the
Series C Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as
applicable; provided,
however, that, in the event
that none of the Holders’ Registrable Securities are then
covered by a Registration Statement that is effective and available
for use by the Holders, the quotient of (I) divided by (II) in
clause (1)(B) herein shall be deemed to equal 1. The parties agree
that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the
Holders under this Agreement shall be nine percent (9%) of the
aggregate amount paid by the Investor pursuant to the Series C
Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. If
the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to
this Section 6.11(a) in full within seven (7) calendar days after
the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate
of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount
that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holders,
accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are
due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in
full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof
shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month
prior to the cure of an Event.
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 6.11(a), the parties hereto acknowledge that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to
perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder,
and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other
remedy to which it may be entitled pursuant to Section 6.11(a), at
law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific
performance of the obligations of any other party under this
Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United
States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action
should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of
this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense
that there is an adequate remedy at law. An Event shall constitute
a breach of this Agreement entitling the Holders to remedies
hereunder.
(c) Except as otherwise
provided by law, a delay or omission by a party hereto in
exercising any right or remedy granted pursuant to this Agreement
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy provided hereunder, by
law or in equity shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All
available remedies under shall be cumulative.
This
Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their
agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of
the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions,
promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings
relating to such subject matter, other than those set forth or
referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings between the Company and the other parties to
this Agreement with respect to such subject matter.
6.13. Nominees for Beneficial
Owners.
In the
event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the
beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its
election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the
holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request
or other action by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or
percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder
or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this
Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so
elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory
to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such
Registrable Securities.
6.14. Consent to
Jurisdiction.
(a) Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
or himself and its or his property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any Texas state court sitting in Dallas county or federal court
of the United States of America sitting in Dallas county, and any
appellate court presiding thereover, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereunder or thereunder or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in any such Texas state court or, to the extent
permitted by law, in any such federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.
(b) Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it or he may legally and effectively do so, any objection
that it or he may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder
in any State or federal court sitting in Dallas county. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.
The
parties hereto further agree that the notice of any process
required by any such court in the manner set forth in Section 6.5
shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them,
without the necessity for service by any other means provided by
law.
6.15. Further
Assurances.
Each
party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed
all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all
such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as
any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out
the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.16. No Inconsistent
Agreements.
The
Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement which is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this
Agreement.
The
Company and the Investor acknowledge that each of them has had the
benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an
opportunity to review this Agreement with its legal counsel and
that this Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the
Company and the Holders.

taken. This Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the Pledge
Agreement and the Side Letter by and between the Company and the
Lead Purchaser (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), when
executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and as limited by laws relating to the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies.
2.3 Capitalization.

Laws and Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation
or default of any provisions of (i) its certificate of

statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii), the violation of which would have a
material and adverse effect on the Company, its business or assets.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be in
conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time

an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material
permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the
Company, its business or operations. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Company has obtained all waivers reasonably
necessary with respect to any preemptive rights, rights of first
refusal or similar rights, including any notice or offering periods
provided for as part of any such rights, in order for the Company

Transaction Documents.
2.6 Litigation.

Company or (b) that questions the validity of the Transaction
Documents or the right of the Company to enter into them, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors
is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order,
writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government
agency or instrumentality (in the case of officers or directors,
such as would affect the Company).
2.7 Absence of
Liens. The property
and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except
for statutory liens for the payment of current taxes that are not
yet delinquent and encumbrances and liens that arise in the
ordinary course of business and do not materially impair
the Company’s ownership or use of such property or
assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the
Company is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge,
holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or
encumbrances other than those of the lessors of such property or
assets.
2.8 Valid
Offering. Assuming
the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers in Section 3

with respect to the Company as an “issuer” for purposes
of Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, any Person listed
in the first paragraph of Rule 506(d)(1).
2.10 Disclosure.
No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made.
3. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of each Purchaser. Each Purchaser, solely with respect to
itself, himself or herself and not with respect to any other
Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants to the Company, which
representations and warranties are made as of the date of each
Closing in which such Purchaser participates, that:
3.1 Authorization.
Such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by such
Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of

application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and as limited by laws relating to the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies.

Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, such Purchaser
hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by such
Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s
own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of
securities laws, and that such Purchaser has no present intention
of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Purchaser
further represents that such Purchaser does not presently have any

sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any
third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Such Purchaser

Securities. Such

securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, such Purchaser
must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state
authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. Such Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or
qualify the Securities for resale. Such Purchaser further
acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various
requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of
sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements
relating to the Company which are outside of such Purchaser’s
control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not
be able to satisfy.

Market. Such
Purchaser understands that, except with respect to the Common
Stock, no public market now exists for any of the Securities issued
by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a
public market will ever exist for the Securities.

ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION
WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF IN VIOLATION OF SECURITIES
LAWS. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933.”
(b) Any legend required
by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are
applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so
legended.
3.7 Investment
Experience. Such
Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Securities involves
substantial risk, particularly given the limited financial and
operating history of the Company. Such Purchaser has experience as
an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and
acknowledges that such Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can
bear the economic risk of such Purchaser’s investment in the
Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of this investment in the Securities and
protecting its own interests in connection with this
investment.
3.8 Disqualification.
Such Purchaser represents that neither such
Purchaser, nor any person or entity with whom such Purchaser shares
beneficial ownership of Company securities, is subject to any of
the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule
506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) promulgated under the Securities
Act.
3.9 Accredited
Investor.
Such Purchaser is an
accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.10 Foreign
Investors. If such
Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
“Code”), such
Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the
full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with
any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this
Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its
jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (b) any foreign
exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any
governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and
(d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be
relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of
the Securities. Such Purchaser’s subscription and payment for
and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not
violate any applicable securities or other laws of such
Purchaser’s jurisdiction.
3.11 No
General Solicitation.
Neither such Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, stockholders or partners, has either directly or
indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (a) engaged in
any general solicitation, or (b) published any advertisement in
connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.
4. Finder’s
Fee. Each party
represents that it is not, and will not be, obligated for any
finder’s fee or commission in connection with this
transaction. The Company agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless
each Purchaser from any liability for any commission or
compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee (and the costs
and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted
liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees,
or representatives is responsible. Each Purchaser agrees to

responsible.
5. Exculpation Among
Purchasers. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person,
other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making
its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser
agrees that neither any Purchaser nor the respective controlling

Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action
