Warrant to Subscribe for 150,000 Shares of Common Stock
AGU ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
Warrant
To Subscribe for and Purchase
Common Stock of
AGU ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx or its
registered assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from
AGU ENTERTAINMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), at an exercise
price per share of $5.00 (initially and as adjusted, if at all, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Warrant, the "Exercise Price"), One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand (150,0000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company's
common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"). This Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part, by Xxxxxx at any time commencing immediately
after delivery of this Warrant to Holder and prior to and including 5:00 p.m.
Eastern time on the second anniversary of the date hereof.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:
1. Exercise; Payment. The rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by Xxxxxx, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant at
the principal office of Company properly endorsed and accompanied by payment to
Company of the Exercise Price for that number of shares of Common Stock sought
to be purchased (the "Exercised Shares"), in the manner provided below. Company
agrees that (a) shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be and are
deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and
payment made for such shares as provided herein, and (b) certificates for the
shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to Holder as promptly as
reasonably practicable following any exercise of this Warrant, and unless this
Warrant shall have been exercised in full, or shall have expired, a new Warrant
representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not
yet have been exercised, shall also be delivered to Holder.
Holder may pay the Exercise Price for any Exercised shares in one or a
combination by delivering cash, check, money order or wire transfer of funds to
the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares. In the
event there is a trading market for the Company's common shares, Holder may, at
its option, pay the Exercise Price with registered or unregistered shares of the
Company's common stock, which shall be valued in each instance at the average of
the closing price for said shares as traded on a recognized public trading
market or quoted on a recognized quotation system for the last 20 days
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
2. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation. Company covenants and agrees that
all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon issuance and payment therefore in accordance with
Section 1 above, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof; and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Company covenants and agrees that it will from time
to time take all such action as may be required to assure that the par value per
share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then
effective Exercise Price per share of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Warrant. Company further covenants and agrees that when the rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised, Company will at all times thereafter have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of
the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares
of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant.
3. Protection Against Dilution.
(a) In the event at any time or from time to time, all holders of
Common Stock (or any other shares of stock or other securities at that time
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, other or
additional or less Common Stock without payment therefore (whether through a
dividend in stock or any class of stock of Company or any other corporation, or
through stock split, spin-off, split-off, reclassification, combination of
shares or otherwise) (a "Distribution"), then, and in each such case, Holder
upon the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price provided
above, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares called for under
this Warrant, the shares or other securities to which Holder would have been
entitled in the Distribution if Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior thereto. In case of the partial exercise of this Warrant under such
circumstances, the number of shares of stock or other securities which would
have been receivable upon the full exercise of this Warrant, and the Exercise
Price payable therefore computed as provided above, shall be proportionately
reduced.
(b) In case of any reorganization of Company, or any other
corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time deliverable on the
exercise of this Warrant, or in case Company or such other corporation shall
consolidate with or merge into another corporation, or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation, or liquidate, Holder,
upon the exercise hereof and upon the payment of the Exercise Price provided
above, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the shares called for under this
Warrant, the stock or other securities to which Holder would have been entitled
upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
or liquidation if Holder had purchased the shares called for hereby immediately
prior thereto; and in such case, the provisions of this Warrant shall be
applicable to the shares of stock or other securities thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of this Warrant. In the case of the partial exercise of this
Warrant under such circumstances, the number of shares of stock or other
securities which would have been receivable upon the full exercise of this
Warrant, and the Exercise Price payable therefore, shall be proportionately
reduced.
4. No Rights as Shareholder. Until the valid exercise of this Warrant, the
holder hereof shall not be entitled to any voting right or other rights as a
shareholder of Company with respect to this Warrant.
5. Transfer of Warrants. Subject to Section 7 hereof, this Warrant and all
rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the
Holder, at the office or agency of Company referred to in Section 1 by the
Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant
properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding
the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall
be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have
been so endorsed, may be treated by Company and all other persons dealing with
this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person
entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer
hereof on the books of Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but
until such transfer on such books, Company may treat the registered holder
hereof as the owner for all purposes.
6. Fractional Interests. Company shall not be required to issue fractional
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a
share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 6, be
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portion thereof),
Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) of such fraction of a Common Share on the business day prior to the date
of such exercise. As used in this Agreement, the "Fair Market Value" of the
Common Stock shall be the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of
determination on the principal stock market or quotation system on which the
Common Stock is then traded; provided, however, if the Common Stock is not, as
of the date of determination of the Fair Market Value, traded on a recognized
public trading market or quoted on a recognized quotation system, then the Fair
Market Value shall be determined by Company on the basis of such valuation as it
considers appropriate.
7. Compliance With Securities Laws. By acquiring this Warrant from Company
on the date hereof, the Holder hereby agrees, acknowledges, covenants,
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) This Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or qualified or registered under any state
securities laws which may be applicable. Holder understands that this Warrant
and such shares of Common Stock have been and will be issued and sold hereunder
in transactions exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and Holder acknowledges
that reliance on and the availability of said exemptions is predicated in part
on the accuracy of Xxxxxx's representations and warranties herein.
(b) Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant
for its own account, for purposes of investment, and not with a view to, or for
sale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Holder
represents, warrants and agrees that it will not sell, exercise, transfer or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant (or any interest therein) or any of the Common
Stock purchasable upon exercise hereof, except pursuant to (i) an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to Company, that an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act and such laws is available. Xxxxxx
further acknowledges and agrees that Company is not required, legally or
contractually, so to register or qualify the Warrant or such Common Stock or to
take any action to make such an exemption available. Xxxxxx understands that
Company will be relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations and
warranties contained in this Section 7 in issuing this Warrant and such Common
Stock without first registering the issuance thereof under the Securities Act or
qualifying or registering the issuance thereof under any state securities laws
that may be applicable.
(c) Holder acknowledges that (i) there is not now, and there will
not be in the future, any public market for the Warrant, (ii) although there
currently is a public trading market for the Common Stock, there can be no
assurance that any such market will be sustained, and (iii) there can be no
assurance that Holder will be able to liquidate its investment in Company.
Holder represents and warrants that it is familiar with and understands the
terms and conditions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(d) Holder represents and warrants to Company that (i) it has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as is necessary to
enable it to evaluate the merits and risks of any investments in Company and is
not utilizing any other person to be a purchaser representative in connection
with evaluation of such merits and risks; and (ii) it has no need for liquidity
in an investment in Company and is able to bear the risk of that investment for
an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.
(e) Holder represents and warrants that it has had access to, and
has been furnished with, all of the information it has requested from Company
and has had an opportunity to review the books and records of Company and to
discuss with management and members of the board of directors of Company the
business and financial affairs of Company.
(f) Xxxxxx agrees that at the time of each exercise of this Warrant,
unless the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable thereupon is pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Holder will
provide Company with a letter embodying the representations and warranties set
forth in subsections (b) through (e), in form and substance satisfactory to
Company, and agrees that the certificate(s) representing any shares issued to it
upon any exercise of this Warrant may bear such restrictive legend as Company
may deem necessary to reflect the restricted status of such shares under the
Securities Act unless Company shall have received from Holder an opinion of
counsel to Holder, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Company,
that such restrictive legend is not required. If such legend is placed on such
certificate(s), before consenting to the removal of such legend and the transfer
of such shares, unless the request to remove such legend is made in connection
with a sale or transfer of the shares represented by such certificate in a
transaction registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act, Company may insist
upon the delivery to it of an opinion from counsel to Holder, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to Company, that the contemplated transfer
does not constitute a violation of the Securities Act.
8. Notice. Company covenants and agrees to give notice in writing to
Holder at least 10 days prior to (or, if later, then as soon as reasonably
practicable prior to) any action contemplated which would affect the per share
Exercise Price, or number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant;
provided, however, any failure of Company to provide such notice shall not
affect the validity of any action by Company. Any notice, request or other
communication provided for under this Warrant shall be given in writing,
delivered by hand, by overnight United States Mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, or through a reputable courier service (such as Federal
Express) and shall be addressed to Company or to the Holder at the address shown
below, unless notice of a change in address is furnished in accordance with this
