TWO
RIVERS WATER & FARMING COMPANY
WARRANT
TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
1. Issuance.
In consideration of good and valuable consideration as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (defined below), including without
limitation the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged
by Two Rivers Water & Farming Company, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”),
Black Mountain Equities, Inc., its successors and/or registered assigns (the “Holder”),
is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time on or after the Issue Date (as defined below) until the date which is the
last calendar day of the month in which the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”),
440,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as such number of Warrant Shares may be adjusted from time to
time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (this “Warrant”).
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 26, 2017, to which
the Company and the Holder are parties (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
Unless
otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase
Agreement.
This
Warrant was originally issued to the Holder on April 26, 2017 (the “Issue Date”).
2. Exercise
of Warrant.
2.1. General.
(a) This
Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration
Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by delivery to the Company or by email or facsimile
transmission) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit
A (the “Notice of Exercise”). The date such Notice of Exercise is either faxed, emailed or delivered to
the Company shall be the “Exercise Date,” provided that, if such exercise represents the full exercise of the
outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder shall tender this Warrant to the Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter,
but only if the Warrant Shares to be delivered pursuant to the Notice of Exercise have been delivered to the Holder as of such
date. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder and shall indicate (i) the number of Warrant Shares (as defined below)
to be issued pursuant to such exercise, and (ii) if applicable (as provided below), whether the exercise is a cashless exercise.
For
purposes of this Warrant, the term “Trading Day” means any day during which the principal market on which the
Common Stock is traded (the “Principal Market”) shall be open for business.
(b)
To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the Market Price of one (1) Share is greater than the Exercise
Price, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined
in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise,
in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X
= Y (A-B)
A
Where X
= the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder.
| Y
= | the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant at the date of such calculation or,
if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being
canceled. |
| A = | the
Market Price (at the date of such calculation). |
| B = | Exercise
Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For
the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Affiliate”
shall mean an affiliate as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or a successor rule).
“Aggregate
Exercise Price Payable” shall mean the product of multiplying the number of Warrant Shares exercisable by the Exercise
Price.
“Closing
Price” shall mean the last sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as
reported by Bloomberg LP (or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable
reporting service of national reputation selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company) for the relevant date.
“Common
Stock Equivalents” shall mean any stock or securities (convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable) for shares of
Common Stock, not including the Company’s employee stock incentive plan.
“Exercise
Price” shall mean seventy cents ($0.70) per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustments herein.
“Market
Price” shall mean the Volume Weighted Average Price for the Common Stock on the Trading Day that is (i) five Trading
Days prior to the Exercise Date or (ii) the Issue Date, whichever is greater.
“Note”
shall mean that certain Promissory Note issued by the Company to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as the same may
be amended from time to time, and including any promissory note(s) that replace or are exchanged for such referenced promissory
note.
(c) If
the Notice of Exercise form elects a “cash” exercise (or if the cashless exercise referred to in the immediately preceding
subsection (b) is not available in accordance with the terms hereof), the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the Warrant
Shares shall be payable, at the election of the Holder, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in
accordance with instructions provided by the Company at the request of the Holder.
(d) Upon
the appropriate payment to the Company, if any, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares, together with the surrender of this
Warrant (if required), the Company shall promptly, but in no case later than the date that is five (5) Trading Days following
the date the Exercise Price is paid to the Company (or with respect to a “cashless exercise,” the date that is three
(3) Trading Days following the Exercise Date) (the “Delivery Date”), provided that all [conditions (“DWAC
Eligible Conditions”) to the Company’s eligibility for the Depositary Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian (“DWAC”) system] are then satisfied, deliver or cause the Company’s Transfer Agent to deliver
the applicable Warrant Shares electronically via the DWAC system to the account designated by the Holder on the Notice of Exercise.
If all DWAC Eligible Conditions are not then satisfied, the Company shall instead issue and deliver or cause to be issued and
delivered (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in
the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Company has not met its obligation to deliver Warrant Shares by the Delivery Date unless the Transfer Agent has
posted the shares for DWAC pickup and the Holder or its broker, as applicable, has been notified of this availability, or if the
DWAC Eligible Conditions are not then satisfied, has actually received the certificate representing the applicable Warrant Shares
no later than the close of business on the relevant Delivery Date pursuant to the terms set forth above.
(e) If
Warrant Shares are delivered later than as required under subsection (d) immediately above, the Company agrees to pay, in addition
to all other remedies available to the Holder in the Purchase Agreement or the Note, a late charge equal to the greater of (i)
$1,000.00 and (ii) 2% of the product of (1) 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 multiplied by (2) the Closing Price of the 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 this Warrant, per Trading Day until such Warrant Shares are delivered. The Company shall pay any late charges incurred
under this subsection in immediately available funds upon demand; provided, however, that, at the option of the Holder
(without notice to the Company), such amount owed may be added to the principal amount of the Note. Furthermore, in addition to
any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery
of the Warrant Shares as required under subsection (d) immediately above, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant
exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to
their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the late charge
described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(f) The
Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the Warrant Shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section
2.1 on the Exercise Date.
2.2. Ownership
Limitation. If at any time upon exercise of the Warrant, the Holder advises the Company (or the Company otherwise has actual
knowledge) that the Holder would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates, own or beneficially
own by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”), the Company shall not be obligated
and shall not issue to the Holder shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage, but only until such time as
the Maximum Percentage would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Holder. Upon delivery
of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first
(61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 4.99% as
specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first
(61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder
and its Affiliates. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict
conformity with the terms of this Section 2.2 to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2.2 or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained
in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of the Note and Warrant.
3. Mutilation
or Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the
case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver to the Holder a new
Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
4. Rights
of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue of this Warrant alone, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company,
either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder with respect to or arising under this Warrant are limited to those expressed
in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Certain
Adjustments.
5.1. Capital
Adjustments. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up
or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the
case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments
shall also be made to the Exercise Price, Market Price (in the event of a cashless exercise), and other applicable amounts, but
the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall
remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the
date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record
date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
5.2. Subsequent
Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any
offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any
person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price,
the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder
of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments,
reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share
which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share
which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such
date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced (and only reduced) to equal the Base Share Price and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the Aggregate Exercise Price Payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price Payable prior to such adjustment.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall
notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
subject to this Section 5.2, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification,
whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5.2, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive
Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the
Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. No adjustment
will be made for shares issued to Water Redevelopment Co.
Initial:________
6. Certificate
as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of
this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute
such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment
or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of
(a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed
to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of
each such certificate to the Holder and any Warrant Agent (as defined below) appointed pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Nothing in
this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit any other provision contained herein.
7. Transfer
to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, have not been registered under the 1933 Act. This
Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may only be sold, transferred,
pledged or hypothecated (other than to an Affiliate) if (a) there exists an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act
relating to such security or (b) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration
is not required under the 1933 Act. Until such time as registration has occurred under the 1933 Act, each certificate for this
Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend, in
form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section
7. Any such transfer shall be accompanied by a transferor assignment substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit
B (the “Transferor Assignment”), executed by the transferor and the transferee and submitted to the Company.
Upon receipt of the duly executed Transferor Assignment, the Company shall register the transferee thereon as the new Holder on
the books and records of the Company and such transferee shall be deemed a “registered holder” or “registered
assign” for all purposes hereunder, and shall have all the rights of the Holder.
8. Warrant
Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose
of issuing shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant hereto, exchanging this Warrant pursuant hereto, and
replacing this Warrant pursuant hereto, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as
the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.
9. Transfer
on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder
as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
10. Notices.
Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the subsection titled “Notices”
in the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
11. Supplements
and Amendments; Whole Agreement. This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto. This Warrant, together with the Purchase Agreement and the Note, taken together, contain the full understanding
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements
or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof other than as expressly contained herein and therein.
12. Governing
Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without giving
effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each
irrevocably (a) consent to and expressly submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in
San Diego County, Nevada in connection with any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant, (b) agree that
all claims in respect of any such dispute or proceeding may only be heard and determined in any such court, (c) expressly submit
to the venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, and (d) waive any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that
such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions
or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the
Holder, each hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such proceeding by
the mailing of copies thereof by reputable overnight courier (e.g., FedEx) or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party’s
address as provided for herein, such service to become effective ten (10) calendar days after such mailing. THE
COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
13. Remedies.
The remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance
of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and, without limiting any other remedies
available to the Holder in the Purchase Agreement or the Note, law or equity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms
may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against
a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
14. Counterparts.
This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be
an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature delivered via facsimile
or email shall be considered original signatures for purposes hereof.
15. Descriptive
Headings. Descriptive headings of the sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
16. Attorney’s
Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute arising from this Warrant, the parties agree that the party who is awarded
the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of
the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by said prevailing party in connection with the litigation
and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and
expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad
faith pleading.
17. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Warrant or the validity or enforceability of this Warrant in any other
jurisdiction.
