Shares of Common Stock, Par Value $0.001 Per Share
No. _____
THIS CERTIFIES that, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and other value received, _______________________ (the “Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for, and purchase from, BAYWOOD INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at any time or from time to time on or after September 5, 2008 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) until 5:00 P.M. New York City local time on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Exercise Period”), up to an aggregate of ______________ shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. This Warrant is initially exercisable at a price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this Warrant. The term “Exercise Price” shall mean, depending on the context, the initial exercise price (as set forth above) or the adjusted exercise price per share. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined herein. The Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount or extend the Exercise Period, at any time. Such modifications to the Exercise Price or Exercise Period may be temporary or permanent.
As used herein, the term “this Warrant” shall mean and include this Warrant and any Warrant or Warrants hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. Each share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be hereinafter referred to as a “Warrant Share”. Terms not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the same meaning as those given to them in the 12% Subordinated Note,
- 1 -
dated the date hereof, issued in connection with this Warrant by the Company in favor of the Holder..
1.
(a)
Subject to the terms of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of the Holder, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or prior to the end of the Exercise Period. The Company may not call or redeem any portion of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable in whole or in part for that number of fully paid, validly issued, duly authorized and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as indicated on the first page of this Warrant, for an exercise price per share equal to the Exercise Price (subject to Section 1(c)), by delivery to the Company at its office at 00000 Xxxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, of (the date on which a Holder delivers (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Date of Exercise”):
(i)
a completed Election to Purchase, in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Holder exercising all or part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant;
(ii)
this Warrant; and
(iii)
subject to Section 1(c) below, payment of an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise in the form of, at the Holder’s option, (A) a certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the Company, or (B) a wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company.
(b)
As used herein:
(i)
“Fair Market Value” shall mean, if the Common Stock is publicly traded, the closing sale price on such date or, if there are no trades on such date, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on that date, as reported by the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded (or, if not so reported, as reported by the National Daily Quotation Bureau, Inc. or another customary financial reporting service.
(c)
Cashless Exercise. If (i) at any time after six months following the date of the issuance of this Warrant; and (ii) there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number as is computed using the following formula:
- 2 -
X = Y (A-B)
A
where
X =
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant.
Y =
the number of Warrant Shares covered by this Warrant with respect to which the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
A =
the Fair Market Value (as defined above) of one Warrant Share on the Date of Exercise.
B =
the Exercise Price in effect at the time the cashless exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1(c).
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
(d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i.
Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Election to Purchase (in Exhibit A) within three Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Election to Purchase, surrender of this Warrant (if required) and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above, subject to Section 1(c) (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided, however, if the Company is a participant in the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system, such shares shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the DWAC system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date of the Election to Purchase and the Exercise Price (subject to Section 1(c)) is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 1(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.
ii.
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase
- 3 -
the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii.
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv.
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the third Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such Warrant Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other
- 4 -
incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by an Assignment Form in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vii.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
2.
Upon each exercise of the Holder’s rights to purchase Warrant Shares, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant was exercised shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder.
3.
Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the “Warrant Register”) as they are issued. This Warrant shall be transferable on the books of the Company only upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his, her, or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares (or portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
- 5 -
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
4.
The Company shall pay all federal and state taxes (other than taxes on income of the Holder), documentary taxes, stamp taxes, if any, and other governmental charges that may be imposed upon the issuance or delivery of this Warrant or upon the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes payable in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any Warrants or Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in respect of which such Warrant Shares are issued.
5.
(a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue), without any personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of stockholders. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
(b)
The transfer agent for the Common Stock and every subsequent transfer agent for any of the Company’s securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized securities as shall be required for such purpose. The Company shall supply such transfer agent with duly executed certificates representing the Common Stock or other securities for such purposes.
(c)
The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending its Articles 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; but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount
- 6 -
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, and (ii) take all such action 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.
6.
The Company will make all filings under Federal and state securities laws, that are required in connection with the issuance and delivery of this Warrant, the exercise of this Warrant, and the issuance and delivery of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant.
7.
The Exercise Price for the Warrants in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b)
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company into another Person such that the other Person is the survivor or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which all holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
- 7 -
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such Warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(b) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c)
If the Company or any Subsidiary, at any time shall sell or grant any option to purchase or sell or grant any right to re-price, or otherwise dispose of or issue, 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 current Exercise Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent 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 issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price) (such lower price, the “New Exercise Price” and such issuances, individually and collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the New Exercise Price. Such adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made upon each occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance (at the time of issuance). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing as soon as practical following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be made under this Section in respect of an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee, the majority of which are non-employee directors, established for such purpose, among others; (ii) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding on the date of this Warrant, provided, however, that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Warrant to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of any such securities; (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, (A) itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds or (B) a natural person that is a control person of such operating company if the sole purpose of such issuance is to effect an acquisition of the operating company, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (iv) securities issuable
- 8 -
in accordance with existing obligations of the Company to Company or Subsidiary employees, officers, directors or agents and (v) securities issued to commercial banks in connection with the Company obtaining bank financing.
(d)
As used in this Section 7, “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary which entitle the holder thereof to acquire Common Stock at any time, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock or other securities that entitle the holder to receive, directly or indirectly, Common Stock.
(e)
The Company shall not amend its Articles of Incorporation (as amended from time to time), its By-laws or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant to be observed or performed by the Company, including without limitation this Section 7, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment as provided herein.
(f)
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 15 Business Days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Exercise Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Holder (but in any event not later than 15 Business Days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price then in effect.
(g)
If (i) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock; (ii) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock; (iii) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (iv) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (v) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the
- 9 -
Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
(h)
All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent.
(i)
No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this subsection (i)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
8.
Unless registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
9.
The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, without charge, of like date, tenor and denomination, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(a)
The Holder shall not have, solely on account of its status as a holder of a Warrant, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.
(b)
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of Company, whether such liability is asserted by Company or by creditors of Company.
