To Purchase 15,625 Shares of Common Stock of IDS Solar Technologies, Inc.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Holder"), shall have the right to purchase from IDS Solar Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), 15,625 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") at an Exercise Price as described below, at any time on or before five (5) years from the date of issuance and delivery (the "Termination Date").
1. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be $2.00 per share.
2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the closing of the offering, and before the close of business on the Termination Date by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment of the Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a United States bank, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased.
(b) In
lieu of cash exercising this Warrant, the
Holder of this Warrant may elect to receive shares equal
to the value of this Warrant (or the portion
thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Company together with notice of such election, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder hereof a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
| 1 |
Where X -- The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder
Y -- of this Warrant. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant.
A -- The fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
B -- The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).
For purposes of this Paragraph 3(b), the fair market value of the Common Stock, if publicly traded, shall be the five day average of the reported closing price each day of the Shares for the five days immediately preceding the exercise of this Warrant. If the Shares are not publicly traded, their fair market value shall be the price per share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares, as such prices shall be determined by reference to the most recent sale or issuance by the Company of Common Stock.
(c) Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within five (5) trading days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates 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 shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 4 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
(d) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder hereof; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
4. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.
5. Transfer, Division and Combination.
(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the mailing 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 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. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
| 2 |
(b) 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 Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 6(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 the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.
(c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new warrant or warrants under this Section 6.
(d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
6. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Common Stock so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.
7. 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 certificate, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant.
8. 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 be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
| 3 |
9. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
(a) Stock Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to Holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
| 4 |
(b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the Surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the Holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon 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 Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10. For purposes of this Section 10, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
(c) Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any Common Stock or any security entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such issuances collectively, a "Dilutive Issuance"), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, concurrently with such issuance, to equal the effective price per share of the Dilutive Issuance by multiplying the same by a fraction, calculated as follows:
| 5 |
AX+BX+CY
______________
A+B+C
A = number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
Dilutive Issuance;
B = the number of Warrant Shares issuable plus the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants of this series;
C =the number of shares issuable in the Dilutive Issuance;
X = the Exercise Price immediate before the Dilutive Issuance;
Y =the effective price per share of the Dilutive Issuance;
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or such securities are issued unless Common Stock is being issued pursuant to (i) any conversion of any Preferred Stock; (ii) in connection with any acquisition, joint venture or strategic alliance approved by the Board of Directors; (iii) upon the occurrence of any bona fide underwritten registered public offering of Common Stock of the Corporation for cash; (iv) as a dividend or distribution on any Preferred Stock; (v) any employee benefit plan approved by the Board of Directors, including without limitation, an employee stock option plan for the benefit of employees, consultants and I or directors, or; (vi) pursuant to a security entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment to the Exercise Price has already been made under this Section 10(c).
10. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Holder of this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
| 6 |
11. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the Holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation, or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at least 3 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 3 days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (a) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the Holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 18(e).
12. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the 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 executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the 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 Principal Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
| 7 |
13. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its 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 against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best 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 cause an adjustment reducing the current Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
14. Written Acknowledgment. Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
15. Prior Regulatory Approval Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock 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.
16. Miscellaneous.
(a) Choice of Laws, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws of Nevada and its interpretation and construction shall be determined pursuant to the laws of Nevada without regard to its conflict of law, principles or rules.

(h) Remedies. 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.
