For
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by
SKINNY NUTRITIONAL CORP., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
_____________________________ (the “Holder”), is hereby
granted the right to purchase, at any time from and after the date that this
Warrant is issued as specified above, until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on
______________, 201_ [24 months from
date of issuance] (the “Warrant Exercise
Term”), up to ______________________________ (________) fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.001 par value per share
(“Common
Stock”).
l.
Exercise of
Warrant
1.1 During
the Warrant Exercise Term, this Warrant shall be exercisable at a per share
price of $0.10 (the “Exercise Price”),
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2 hereof, payable in cash or by
certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds. Upon
surrender of a copy of this warrant certificate along with a copy of the annexed
Exercise Notice duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased at the Company’s principal executive
offices the registered Holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to receive a
certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
“Warrant
Shares”). The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable
at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to
fractional shares of the Common Stock) during any period in which this Warrant
may be exercised as set forth above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares
available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within
two (2) business days of the when the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the
Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of
a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have
the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. At the
Holder’s request following any partial exercise of this Warrant, upon surrender
of the original of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant and
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the Warrants
Shares that remain purchasable hereunder following such partial
exercise. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of
the Company shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the
Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.
1.2 The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof including, without
limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and
such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be
directed by, the Holder hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of such certificate in a name other than that of
the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.
1.3
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise
of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as
shall then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be
duly and validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable.
1.4
Each exercise of this Warrant by the Holder shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date upon which all
of the requirements of Section 1 hereof with respect to such exercise
shall have been complied with in full (each such date, an “Exercise
Date”). On the applicable Exercise Date with respect to any
exercise of this Warrant by the Holder, the Company shall be deemed to have
issued to the Holder, and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder
of record and legal owner of, the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon
such exercise of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of
the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such number
of Warrant Shares being purchased shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder. The Company shall instruct its stock transfer agent to deliver the
Warrant Shares to the Holder’s designated account within three business days
from the Exercise Date.
2.
Adjustments and
Extraordinary Events
2.1
Stock Dividends,
Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the
Corporation shall (A) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine or
reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or
distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made herein
which results in a decrease (or increase) in the Exercise Price shall also
effect a proportional increase (or decrease) in the number of shares of Common
Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable. Successive adjustments in the
Exercise Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall
occur.
2
2.2
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 all or substantially all
of 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 the 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 (“Extraordinary
Transaction”), 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 Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section
2.2. As soon as commercially practicable following the
Extraordinary Transaction, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than
the Company), shall deliver to Holder a new warrant in repacement of this
Warrant consistent with the provisions referenced in the immediately preceding
sentence against receipt by such successor or acquiring corporation of the
original of this Warrant. For purposes of this Section 2.2, “common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such
corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over
any other class of stock of such 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 2.2 shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations or disposition of assets.
2.3 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 give prior written notice
thereof to the Holder of at least 15 days prior to the date on which the Company
closes its books or takes a record for determining the particular event, which
notice shall state 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.
3.
Restrictions on
Transfer
3.1 The
Holder acknowledges that he has been advised by the Company that this Warrant
and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (collectively the “Securities”) have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
that the Warrant is being issued, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant will be issued, on the basis of the statutory exemption provided by
section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering, and that the Company's reliance upon this
statutory exemption is based in part upon the representations made by the Holder
contained herein. The Holder acknowledges that he has been informed
by the Company of, or is otherwise familiar with, the nature of the limitations
imposed by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder on the
transfer of securities. In particular, the Holder agrees that no sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities shall be valid or effective, and the
Company shall not be required to give any effect to any such sale, assignment or
transfer, unless (i) the sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities is
registered under the Securities Act or (ii) the Securities are sold, assigned or
transferred in accordance with all the requirements and limitations of Rule 144
under the Securities Act or such sale, assignment, or transfer is otherwise
exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Holder represents and
warrants that he has acquired this Warrant and will acquire the Securities for
his own account for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution
thereof or the granting of any participation therein, and that he has no present
intention of distributing or selling to others any of such interest or granting
any participation therein. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant and Warrant
Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is
registered under the Securities Act or registered and qualified under any
applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or is exempt from registration
and/or qualification. The Holder has no need for liquidity in its investment in
the Company, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an
indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The Holder is an
“accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 (the provisions of
which are known to the Holder) promulgated under the Act.
3
The
Holder acknowledges that the securities shall bear the following
legend:
“These
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933. Such securities may not be sold or offered for sale,
transferred, hypothecated or otherwise assigned in the absence of an effective
registration statement with respect thereto under such Act or an opinion of
counsel to the Company that an exemption from registration for such sale, offer,
transfer, hypothecation or other assignment is available under such
Act.”
4.
Registration
Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and
subject to all of the obligations regarding registration of the Warrant Shares,
as described in Section 5 of the Subscription Agreement between the Company and
the original holder hereof.
5.
Redemption.
5.1 Prior
to the expiration of the Warrant Exercise Term, the Company shall have the
option, subject to the conditions set forth herein, redeem all of the Warrants
then outstanding upon not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60)
days prior written notice to the Warrant Holders at any time, provided that the
closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for each of the twenty (20)
consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice of redemption is at
least $0.14, as proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock
dividends, combination of shares or like events.
5.2 Notice
of redemption will be effective upon mailing in accordance with this Section and
such date may be referred to below as the “Notice Date”. Notice
of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the
Company not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the
Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall
appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not
the Holder received such notice.
5.3 The
notice of redemption shall state the date set for redemption, which date shall
be not less than thirty (30) days, or more than sixty (60) days, from the Notice
Date (the “Redemption
Date”). The Company shall not mail the notice of redemption unless all
funds necessary to pay for redemption of the Warrants to be redeemed shall have
first been set aside by the Company for the benefit of the Warrant Holders so as
to be and continue to be available therefor. The redemption price to be paid to
the Warrant Holders will be $0.001 for each share of Common Stock of the Company
to which the Warrant Holder would then be entitled upon exercise of the Warrant
being redeemed, as adjusted from time to time as provided herein (the “Redemption
Price”).
5.4 Following
the Notice Date, the Warrant Holders may exercise their Warrants for cash in
accordance with Section 1 of this Warrant between the Notice Date and 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the Redemption Date and such exercise shall be timely if the
form of election to purchase duly executed and the Warrant Exercise Price for
the shares of Common Stock to be purchased are actually received by the Company
at its principal offices prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption
Date.
5.5 If
any Warrant Holder does not wish to exercise any Warrant being redeemed, he
should mail such Warrant to the Company at its principal offices after receiving
the notice of redemption. On and after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Redemption
Date, notwithstanding that any Warrant subject to redemption shall not have been
surrendered for redemption, the obligation evidenced by all Warrants not
surrendered for redemption or effectively exercised shall be deemed no longer
outstanding, and all rights with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and
terminate, except only the right of the holder of each Warrant subject to
redemption to receive the Redemption Price for each share of Common Stock to
which he would be entitled if he exercised the Warrant upon receiving notice of
redemption of the Warrant subject to redemption held by
him.
4
6.
Exchange and Replacement of
Warrant Certificates.
This Warrant Certificate is
exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder
at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate
of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by
the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.
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, and reimbursement to the
Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and
cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Warrant of like tenor, in lieu thereof and any such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated warrant shall thereupon become void.
7. Elimination of Fractional
Interests.
The Company shall not be required to
issue certificates representing fractions of the shares of Common Stock and
shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests
shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down to the nearest whole
number of shares of Common Stock.
8.
Rights of Warrant
Holders.
Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including without
limitation, or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of
directors the right to receive dividends or any other matter.

shall bind its successors and assigns. This Warrant shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Holder and nothing in this Warrant shall be construed
to confer upon any person other than the Holder any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim hereunder.
9.2
No recourse shall be had for any claim based hereon or otherwise in any manner
in respect hereof, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director,
past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitutional provision or statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or in any other manner, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue hereof.
9.3
No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder hereof shall
operate as a waiver of any right of any Holder hereof, and no delay on the part
of the Holder in exercising any right hereunder shall so operate.
9.4
This Warrant may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the Company
and the Holder hereof. Any amendment shall be endorsed upon this
Warrant, and all future Holders shall be bound thereby.
