Subscriber is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) Subscriber has received, has read and understood and is familiar with this Subscription Agreement.

 

(d) Subscriber has been advised that the Company is subject to informational filing requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its rules and regulations. This means that the Company files reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Reports”). The SEC maintains a Web site that contains the reports and other information that we file electronically with the SEC and the address of that website is ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Subscriber has carefully considered the information included in the SEC Reports and has been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and information that Subscriber requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding the purchase of the Shares. Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Subscriber understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company and its subsidiaries, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ control. Additionally, Subscriber understands and represents that Subscriber is purchasing the Shares notwithstanding the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, may disclose in the future certain material information that the Subscriber has not received, including the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Subscriber shall modify, amend or affect such Subscriber’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties, if any, contained in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in the Shares.

 

(e) No representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company, or any representative of the Company, or any securities broker/dealer, other than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

 

(f) Subscriber has investigated the acquisition of the Shares to the extent Subscriber deemed necessary or desirable and the Company has provided Subscriber with any reasonable assistance Subscriber has requested in connection therewith.

 

(g) Subscriber, either personally, or together with his advisors (other than any securities broker/dealers who may receive compensation from the sale of any of the Shares), has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

 

(h) Subscriber is aware that Subscriber’s rights to transfer the Common Stock or the Warrants (including the Common Stock underlying the Warrants) is restricted by the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and Subscriber will not offer for sale, sell or otherwise transfer the Common Stock or Warrants (including the Common Stock underlying the Warrants) without registration under the Securities Act and qualification under the securities laws of all applicable states, unless such sale would be exempt therefrom.

 

(i) Subscriber understands that: (i) the Shares, including the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) Subscriber provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”) or to an accredited investor in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person) through whom the sale is made may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and Subscriber effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.5(i).

 

(j) The Subscriber has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of an investment in the Company and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Subscriber. Subscriber understands that no person other than the Company has been authorized to make any representation and if made, such representation may not be relied on unless it is made in writing and signed by the Company. The Company has not, however, rendered any investment advice to Subscriber with respect to the suitability of Subscriber’s investment in the Company.

 

(k) Subscriber understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Securities, as well as the Common Stock issuable thereby, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine (i) the identity of each person that is a Subscriber Covered Person; and (ii) whether any Subscriber Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

 

(q) Subscriber understands that completion of this Offering is not subject to the Company raising a minimum offering amount. As such, proceeds from this Offering may not be sufficient to meet the objectives of the Company has disclosed in its SEC Reports or other corporate milestones that the Company may set. Subscriber understands that Subscriber should not rely on the success of the Offering to address the Company’s need for funding.

(s) The foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date hereof and shall survive such date.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

 

ARTICLE I.

 

EXERCISE; RESERVATION OF SHARES

 

Section 1.01 Warrant Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and prior to the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, upon Notice, by the surrender at the principal office of the Company of this Warrant together with a duly executed subscription in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (“Subscription Form”) and accompanied by payment, in certified or immediately available funds, of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form. The shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall be exercised as hereinabove provided. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of shares that shall be issued upon such exercise shall be rounded to the nearest whole share without the payment or receipt of any additional consideration.

 

 

Section 1.02 Certificates. Certificates or Book Entry Statements for the shares purchased pursuant to Section 1.01 shall be delivered to the Holder within fifteen (15) days after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and a new Warrant in the name of the Holder representing the rights, if any, that shall not have been exercised prior to the Expiration Date with respect to this Warrant shall also be delivered to such Holder within such time, with such new Warrant to be identical in all other respects to this Warrant. The Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares on the date this Warrant was exercised (the date the Holder has fully complied with the requirements of Section 1.01), irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares; provided that, if the date such exercise is made is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. The term “Warrant,” as used herein, includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or combined and any subsequent Warrants issued upon the transfer or exchange or reissuance upon loss hereof.

(b) That during the period the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue and delivery upon exercise of the rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

ARTICLE II.

 

ADJUSTMENTS

 

Section 2.01 Adjustment Events.

 

(a) Capital Events. If any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation (in any instance, a “Capital Event”) shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock, then, as a condition of such Capital Event, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, an amount of such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as may have been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby had such Capital Event not taken place.

 

 

(b) Preservation of Value. In the case of any Capital Event, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price hereof) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby.

 

(c) Obligation Expressly Assumed. The Company shall not effect any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation into or for the securities of which the previously outstanding stock of the Company shall be changed in connection with such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing such assets, as the case may be, shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

 

Section 2.02 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased. Any such increase or decrease, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

 

Section 2.03 Stock Dividends. In the event that the Company shall at any time declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock payable in stock, the number of Warrant Shares subject to issuance upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased by the number (and the kind) of shares which would have been issued to the holder of this Warrant if this Warrant were exercised immediately prior to such dividend. Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for such dividend or distribution.

 

Section 2.04 Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares of the Company owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

 

Section 2.05 Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in this Article II shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease in such number of shares of at least one percent (1%) of the then adjusted number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that any such adjustments that by reason of the foregoing are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account and included in determining the amount of any subsequent adjustment; and provided further, that if the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend, said percentage shall forthwith be proportionately adjusted so as to appropriately reflect the same.

 

 

Section 2.06 Adjustment of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, and effective at the time such adjustment is effective, as provided in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03 of this Article II, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest whole cent) by multiplying each such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of each such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants (which may not be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any required computation, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

 

Section 2.07 Record Date. In the event that the Company shall not take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed for the purposes of this Article II to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend.

 

Section 2.8 Officer’s Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in this Article II, the Company shall forthwith file with its Secretary and retain in the permanent records of the Company, an officer’s certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as provided in this Article II, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, including a statement of the number of additional or fewer shares of Common Stock, and such other facts as may be reasonably necessary to show the reason for and the method of computing such adjustment. Each such officer’s certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder.

 

Section 2.9 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

Section 2.10 Definition of “Common Stock”. As used in this Article II, the term “Common Stock” shall mean and include all of the Company’s authorized Common Stock of any class as constituted on the Effective Date, and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Company thereafter authorized that shall not be limited to a fixed sum or stated value in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
