Effective as of DATE, SecureAlert, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that NAME (“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company, at such times and in such amounts as are permitted herein, SHARES (XXX) duly authorized shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Stock”) at a purchase price per share of $PRICE per share, all subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
1. Exercise of Warrant.
1.1. Manner of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any business day by surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the Company's principal office, accompanied by an executed subscription agreement in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit "A", as such form may be modified in the discretion of the Company to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, and by payment, in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or by any combination of such methods, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Warrant Stock designated in such subscription by (b) $PRICE, whereupon Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock as is indicated on the subscription.
1.2. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1, and at such time the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Warrant Stock shall be issued upon such exercise shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record thereof.
1
1.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, and in any event within five business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock to which Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise.
1.4. Partial Exercise.
|
|
(a)
|
Fractional Shares. In the event of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company will not issue certificates for any fractional shares of the Warrant Stock to which Holder otherwise may be entitled, and the Company shall not be obligated to refund an amount of cash comprising the market value of any fractional share of Warrant Stock for which the Company will not issue a certificate.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Replacement Warrant. In the event of any partial exercise of this Warrant, at the request of Holder and upon tender of this Warrant to the Company, the Company shall issue a new Warrant containing the same terms and conditions as this Warrant but calling on the face thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the number of shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of shares of Warrant Stock issued upon the partial exercise of this Warrant.
|
2. Certain Adjustments.
2.1. Mergers, Consolidations or Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization (other than a combination or subdivision of Warrant Stock otherwise provided for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of the Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the purchase price, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled under the provisions of the agreement in such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the holder after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the purchase price then in effect and the number of shares of Warrant Stock) shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.
2
2.2. Splits and Subdivisions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date of this Warrant but before expiration effects a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of its then outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a reverse split of the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, the number of shares called for on the face of this Warrant (or the face of any replacement Warrant issued upon partial exercise) shall be adjusted proportionally, and the exercise price with respect to such adjusted number of shares also shall be adjusted proportionally.
2.3. Certificate as to Adjustments. In the case of each adjustment or readjustment of the purchase price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and cause a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based to be delivered to the holder of this Warrant. The Company will, upon the written request at any time of the holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth:
(a) Such adjustments and readjustments;
(b) The purchase price at the time in effect; and
(c) The number of shares of Warrant Stock and the amount, if any, of other property at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
3. Restrictions on Transfer.
3.1. Restrictive Legends. Unless the shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and under applicable laws of any state, each certificate for Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, and each certificate issued upon the transfer of any such Common Stock, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION, UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPROPRIATE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. FURTHERMORE, NO OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS TO TAKE PLACE UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL AT SHAREHOLDER'S EXPENSE, AND SATISFACTORY TO IT, THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
3
3.2. Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to the transfer of any shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and during any period during which such shares of Common Stock are not registered by the Company under an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company, which notice shall (a) state such holder's intention to transfer such restricted shares and to comply in all other respects with the transfer requirements of this Warrant; (b) describe the circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail to enable counsel to render the opinions referred to below, and (c) designate counsel for the holder giving such notice. The holder giving such notice shall submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in such notice and the Company will promptly submit a copy thereof to its counsel. The following provisions shall then apply:
(a) If (a) in the opinion of counsel for the holder designated in the notice the proposed transfer may be effected without registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws, and (b) counsel for the Company shall not have rendered an opinion within 15 days after receipt by the Company of such written notice that such registration is required, such holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such holder to the Company. Each Warrant or certificate, if any, issued upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 4.1, unless in the opinion of each such counsel such legend is no longer required to insure compliance with the Securities Act. If for any reason counsel for the Company (after having been furnished with the information required to be furnished by clause (a) of this Section 4.2) shall fail to deliver an opinion to the Company as aforesaid, then for all purposes of this Warrant the opinion of counsel for the Company shall be deemed to be the same as the opinion of counsel for such holder.
(b) If in the opinion of either or both of such counsel the proposed transfer may not legally be effected without registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities laws (such opinion or opinions to state the basis of the legal conclusions reached therein), the Company will promptly so notify the holder thereof and thereafter such holder shall not be entitled to transfer such shares of Common Stock until receipt of a further notice from the holder under Section 3.2 above or until registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act or applicable state law has become effective.
4. Reservation of Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of Warrant Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no liability on the part of the holders thereof.
4
5. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft of destruction of any Warrant, upon delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
6. No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder. Nothing herein shall give or shall be construed to give the holder of this Warrant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote on matters requiring the vote of shareholders, the right to receive any dividend declared and payable to the holders of Common Stock, and the right to a pro-rata distribution upon the Company's dissolution.
7. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the holders of any Warrant, at the registered address of such holder as set forth in the register kept at the principal office of the Company, or (b) if to the Company, at its principal office to the attention of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, SecureAlert, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, XX 00000, or at the address of such other principal office of the Company as the Company shall have furnished to each holder of any Warrants in writing, provided that the exercise of any Warrants shall be effective only in the manner provided in Section 1.
8. Assignment. No Warrant granted herein or any of the rights and privileges thereby conferred shall be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and no such Warrant, right, or privilege shall be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt so to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Warrant, or of any right or privilege conferred thereby, contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon which Warrant, right, or privilege, the Warrant and such rights and privileges shall immediately become null and void.

9.1. Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Stock (together, the “Securities”) for his its own account; no other person has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the Securities.

Xxxxxx is capable of bearing the economic risk of ownership of the Securities including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of the value of the Securities and the restrictions on transferability of the Securities.
10. Miscellaneous.
