NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THIS WARRANT.
DYNECO CORPORATION
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
2,000,000 Shares
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, the undersigned purchaser MMA Capital, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase TWO MILLION (2,000,000) Shares of Common Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof)(“Shares”) of Dyneco Corporations, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), at a price of One Dollar ($1.00 U.S.) per share (such price and such other price as shall result, from time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 3 hereof is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price”), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, (a) the term “Common Stock” shall mean the Company’s presently authorized Common Stock, and any stock into or for which such Common Stock may hereafter be converted or exchanged, and (b) the term “Date of Grant” shall mean January 13, 2006.
This Warrant is contingent and dependent upon the Company’s contemplated increase in authorized shares, conversion of all preferred stock into common stock , and 30:1 reverse split to be approved by the Company’s shareholders. Should these events not occur as contemplated at the time of conversion, this Warrant shall be automatically amended in such manner so that the rights of the Holder are the same as if the contemplated events had occurred.
This Warrant is granted by the Company in accordance with the terms of that Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) and Common Stock Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) (collectively, the “Agreement”) by and between the Company and Holder of even date herewith. Any capitalized terms not defined herein are ascribed the meaning given them in the Agreement.
1
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, this Warrant shall automatically terminate and expire unless exercised on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Delaware Time) three (3) years from the Date of Grant.
|
1. |
Method of Exercise: Payment. |
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(g)). Upon exercise in full of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, or, in the alternative, an affidavit of lost instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(b) Share Delivery. On or before the first business day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third business day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and if the Holder is entitled to receive shares not bearing a legend pursuant to Section 6 of the Subscription Agreement, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.
(c) Holder. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in Section 1(a) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 1(g) below, the Holder shall be deemed for
2
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares.
(d) Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three business days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
(e) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
(f) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) business days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third business day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(b).
(g) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = |
(A x B) - (A x C) |
|
B |
3
|
For purposes of the foregoing formula: |
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
2. Stock Fully Paid: Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase 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. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. 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 occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification, change or conversion of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than (i) a merger in which the stockholders of the Company prior to the transaction continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the successor corporation following the transaction in the same relative proportions, or (ii) a merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder of this Warrant), so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such
4
reclassification, change or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers, consolidations and transfers.
(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide, by split or otherwise, or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or increased in the case of a combination, effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. When any adjustment is required to be made to the Exercise Price, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment, such that the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.
(c) Adjustment upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Date of Grant the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(d) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares.
5
4. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, which shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Warrant.
5. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
6. Non-Circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) will take all such actions 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 (iii) will, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

Compliance with Securities Act: Disposition of Warrant or Shares. |
(a) Compliance with Securities Act. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Upon exercise of this Warrant, unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, the Holder hereof shall confirm in writing, by executing the form attached as Schedule 1 to Exhibit A hereto, that the shares of Common Stock so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon
6
exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.”
In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:
(i) The Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Act.
(ii) The Holder understands that this Warrant and any securities issuable upon the exercise hereof might not have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Holder’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Warrant for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Warrant, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.
(iii) The Holder further understands that this Warrant and any securities issuable upon the exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration are otherwise available.
(iv) The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if applicable, including, among other things: The availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; the sale being made through a broker in an
7
unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein.
(v) The Holder further understands that at the time it wishes to sell this Warrant and any securities issuable upon the exercise hereof there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling this Warrant and any securities issuable upon the exercise hereof under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(vi) The Holder further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof and each subsequent Holder of this Warrant agrees to give written notice to the Company, describing the manner thereof to the extent required by applicable securities laws, provided, however, that, at any time that the Common Stock is publicly traded, such Common Stock may be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of without any such notice. To the extent applicable any certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability.
8. No Rights as a Stockholder. No Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
8
9. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder of this Warrant as follows:
(a) This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and the rules of law or principles at equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;
(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable;
(c) The execution and delivery of this Warrant are not, and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not be, inconsistent with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, as amended, do not and will not contravene any material law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment or order applicable to the Company, and do not and will not conflict with or contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any material indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument of which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration or filing with or the taking of any action in respect of or by, any Federal, state or local government authority or agency or other person, except for the filing of notices pursuant to federal and state securities laws, which filings will be effected by the time required thereby.
10. Modification and Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the registered Holder of this Warrant.
11. Notices. Any notice, request, communication or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder hereof or the Company shall be delivered, or shall be sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor on the signature page of this Warrant.
12. Binding Effect on Successors. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and shall be binding upon any Holder of this Warrant.
13. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the Holder hereof that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company
9
and its transfer agent, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
14. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.
15. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of California.
16. Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two business days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the holder of this Warrant. If the holder of this Warrant and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two business days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the holder of this Warrant or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
17. Remedies; Other Obligations, Breaches, and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Note and the Subscription Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the holder of this Warrant to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holder of this Warrant and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed securities (collectively, the “Securities”), the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) represents to the Company as follows:
(a) The Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
(b) The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Purchaser understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if the Purchaser’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

Moreover, the Purchaser understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, the Purchaser understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with the legend referred to in the Warrant under which the Securities are being purchased.
(d) The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, if
13
applicable, including, among other things: The availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after the party has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold; the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein.
(e) The Purchaser further understands that at the time it wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the Purchaser may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.
(f) The Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
